Instead of doing what many piercers would probably do, just make a few extra dollars & taking advantage of my ignorant self, they educated me on how to treat the irritation and told me it was best to keep my original jewelry even knowing I was willing to pay whatever to buy new jewelry and have it changed. I saw a young customer who actually got pierced walk out happily with her new lobes, probably her first piercing ever. I'll definitely be getting piercings here and updating my review after. If you're looking for awesome customer service in a comfortable environment with nice people, I'd definitely recommend this shop.

I was in Connecticut visiting my father in the hospital and during the down time off visits, I went…read moreto Visual Expressions to get some cover up work done while I was here. I first met with Diego who did my first cover up and then came back for some more work over the next couple of days. I met with Erich who had some creative ideas for my coverups when most people prior had told me I would be stuck with the original ink, he didnt think that surrender was an option. The staff here is very friendly and take the time to get to know you and want the best work done to your satisfaction. I had some work done on the arches of my foot and they wore out a little but Diego said if ever back in the neighborhood he would retouch up the work for free. I recently returned again and took him up on his offer and he did the retouch for me as promised. Highly reccomend these guys and they are always available to accomodate your time slots to get the job done.

I love that because nowadays with what's going on, all these piercing shops need an appointment and their earliest appointment is like a month out. The piercer was quick when piercing me, clean and precise. Because of her preciseness and quickness, the pain was very minimal. I got exactly what I asked for.

I wanted to do a memorial for my closest friend that passed. So this was something very dear to me. She was very professional. And worked with me through the process to get the right scale and ensure everything was perfect. I am so happy and have more pieces I would entrust her with. If you are into ink I'd highly recommend. The prices are reasonable and I am also surprised the pain level wasn't crazy. With my skin having darker pigment she still managed to get a lot of shading which shows her skill level. Her name is Bina tell her Sonya sent you :)

The atmosphere was wonderful, the shop is immaculate, the pricing MORE than fair, and the quality of the experience was TOP NOTCH. I wholeheartedly recommend Witchhouse and Dani for tattoos/body art, and we will be going back! Thank you, all!

If you think parking is tricky, just grab a spot across the street in the old restaurant. Staff are warm and friendly. Waiting area is so confy you can fall asleep! I love how everyone asks what you're getting. Feels like family. Frank is the absolute best tattoo artist I've been too. I'm hooked and don't want to go anywhere else. Even though this location is 1 hour from my house, it'll be my only place for now on. Tattoo of a Phoenix is exactly what I sent him us a few extra feathers to make it pop. Didn't hurt as bad as I thought but Frank kept making sure I was okay. Absolutely in love with this peice and can't wait to get more!!!!

This is my first Yelp review, but I felt that I had to create an account just so I could recommend…read moreBody Graphics to anyone who is thinking about getting a tattoo. This was my first experience under the gun, and the staff there was incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. The woman at the front desk (I didn't get her name, sadly,) spent a long time talking about placement with me, transferring my design to paper in different sizes and laying them out on my arm to see where they would fit best, how to get the best layout for what I wanted, etc. Because my work was rather simple, I was able to meet with an artist named Lisa immediately and discuss the process further and review some of my options. (Side note - I had already been to another tattoo place in town that morning, and I just hadn't liked the vibe of the place. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with the other shop, as they've got a great reputation. It just wasn't a good fit for for me, and I wanted to make sure I was in good hands for a major step like this one.) Lisa was available to do the tattoo right then, and the entire appointment took just under an hour. I am terrified of needles, so I had anticipated having someone sit on my chest to get me through the ordeal. Not only didn't it hurt, it wasn't even vaguely uncomfortable; I was actually disappointed when the whole thing was over. I'm sure a large part of this was due in fact to Lisa's skill with the gun as well as her ability to keep me talking while the tattoo was being done. I'm an English teacher, and we probably spent 90% of our time together talking about short stories that we love. In all, I could not have had a better experience. Whether you're an experienced veteran of the tattooing process or someone who is thinking about getting their first, Body Graphics is the place to be.

He prefers not to talk which is okay in my book because I don't like talking while I am getting inked. He puts on a movie as a distraction which is also very helpful for me to forget the pain that I have endure for a trypanophobic like myself. Plus, the guy was very supportive when I had the urge of passing out at one point. I honesty think it was really worth the almost $500 for the ink job he done. I've even tipped him for just being simply the best. Will be coming back for more!
