The worst tattoo I or any of my friends have, and quite possibly the rudest person I have ever met…read more Whilst the tattooing process was fine, if a little uncommunicative, I noticed issues with the line and dotwork as soon as I got a closer look at it. With lines which change thickness, go too deep, are not straight (even accounting for body movement), and dotwork which is uneven and occasionally goes outside the line, there's not a lot going for this tattoo. Upon complaining and being told to speak to the artist (Little Al), I went to talk to him. He denied that anything was wrong with the tattoo, refused any suggestion of a refund, and told me he was wasting his time talking to me and walked off. Whilst this is bad enough, it's not the end of the story. As I had mentioned going to another tattoo parlour who had said that it would be very difficult to fix, he proceeded to go there and interrogate them. Having received slightly different information from them (as I had visited the other parlour twice), he proceeded to call and summon me back to bodycraft, where he called me a liar, told me I was wrong, denied anything was wrong but simultaneously blamed me for healing it badly (not true) and the design, with highlights including him telling my friend to "shut up, it's not your tattoo you don't get to come here and talk to me like this" (she was not rude, she was merely supporting me). The parting note was a hell of "fine I won't fix it then", to which I have three responses: 1) you said there was nothing to fix, 2) you never offered to fix it, and 3) why the hell do you think I'd let you have another go at it? After all it's much harder to fix something than draw it right the first time. Luckily I am now booked in to another (lovely) tattoo parlour to be fixed. Although I have not experienced the rest of bodycraft, the sheer fact that this man's attitude and ego is allowed to stay there would put me off the whole business, to say nothing of the tattoo 'artist'. TL:DR - Do not go here.

For my first tattoo, I was unsure where to go but could see from online reviews that Bodycraft was…read morea good bet. People I spoke to warned me not to because of the attitude of people who worked there, I was told they were rude and arrogant. i went anyway and found them to be nice and did a relatively good job of a small and simple tattoo. I decided to return for my 2nd tattoo and I must say that I now see what everyone was talking about. They ARE rude. I went to the one on St James street after coming 20miles out of my way I was told that they had no time to fit me in. This is even though I rang the previous day to book an appointment and was told to just come in. I then walked to their 2nd studio on Pelham and you would have thought that I was selling Johova pamphlets.. The greeting I got was non-existant, the tattooists were all sat down, not working and seemingly not interested in doing so. I asked if anyone was available and was passed to an unpleasant man who barely looked at me when I described what I wanted. WIthout a thought he told me what I wanted wasnt possible, even though I had photographic evidence of it being done and I therefore walked out feeling insulted and embarrassed. Great way to make customers feel! From now on, not only will I not be giving them my business but I will be making sure no one else does either.

The price for the piercing was fine, however I was not told how expensive the earrings were until the moment I was paying for everything. When I was first looking through the earrings which were offered to me, you would hope that the people working in the shop would let you know if you were about to buy earrings which are nearly £100! These earrings were in the set they give you to choose from but there was no price indication on there. If I'd had known they were that expensive I'd have never gotten them. By the time I knew the prices I'd signed all the formed and felt obligated to continue with the process. Unfortunately due to this I won't be returning.

My ears were crying blood and I was crying on the inside - I left the shop looking like I'd been in some bizarre accident, blood all over my new top... Also, the shop smelt like cigarettes and must. I seriously would advise against getting pierced here, and if you buy clothes here, you may need to wash them to get rid of the smell... An experience to be sure, just not sure it was a good one.

It's a vast complex containing many small businesses, and one of them is a small, neatly presented body piercers by the name of Dolly Rockers. Apart from a selection of body jewellery, and the recent addition of micro dermal implants, Dolly Rockers is all about the piercings. By all accounts, they are extremely good at this - out of the many people I know who have been pierced there, I can't think of one that has a complaint about the service they received - the piercings always heal well, and are executed with minimum amount of pain. Prices are about average for this kind of thing, and the manner of the staff is great. In conclusion, if someone in Birmingham asked me where to go for a good piercing, I'd send them here.

Pricing for piercings is average, and they do offers now and again (although I know there have been a few occasions when offers have apparently ended but are still being advertised which is a bit naughty). In that case it usually comes down to discretion of the piercers. I've had several piercings done here, and for the majority of those I have experienced efficient service from skilled and professional piercers. I would recommend this place for clean, safe piercings performed well with the least amount of discomfort.
