I can't say enough good things about Body Anthology. I've been tattooed by Alex several times now,…read moreand every single experience has been amazing. He's not only incredibly talented and creative, but also super attentive and responsive from start to finish. Alex has done gorgeous dog portraits for me and an arm piece that honestly turned out even better than I imagined. He makes the whole process comfortable, checks in often, and you can tell he truly cares about the final result. If you're looking for an artist who's both professional and genuinely passionate about what he does, Alex is the one. I highly, highly recommend him and Body Anthology -- you won't be disappointed.

The receptionist was incredibly kind and welcoming, very attentive and willing to relay messages to the artist to ensure he'd be able to tattoo what we wanted. We waited around 30 minutes in the very clean and calm lobby which has tinted windows to create a cozy but private setting. Marquise was our tattoo artist and he was so kind, very patient, and quick with a steady hand! He was able to knock two arm tattoos out in about an hour which was impressive. The quality is amazing, the line work is stunning, and the pricing was great. I highly recommend this shop as they're very kind, clean, and ready to help any way they can to ensure you receive a tattoo you'll love.

Moving to a new city and finding a great (and reputable) piercing studio is a tricky one. You want…read moreto befriend a piercer for all your sparkling needs and find a front of house to help in curations, custom orders and more. After leaving a studio who did all that and more for me on the east coast, mid-ear project, I was on the hunt. GoodLife is appointment only, with reputable piercers, jewelry options and a cleanliness that reminds you of a fancy (but cool) drs office. NGL my first visit, I was welcomed by a tough FOH. I'd be lying if it wasn't the first time I've encountered a person who treated someone who is not as alt presenting differently. BUT my knowledge of jewelry and brands, placements and piercing upkeep is thorough and the reason I bothered driving 45 mins to this studio. Upon making my appointment I picked out Kelly, who JUST so happened to work that weekend. They were AHMAZING, sweet, professional, and made you feel good. And for me, it was good enough to keep coming back. They introduced me to Ezra, the studio manager, for a custom order placement and that interaction continued to make up for the initial not so great check in. I've been back 2 more times since and have had great service each time. I've been introduced to Marissa as well and look forward to having a second piercer to work with on my ears. Folks know but its like tattoo artists, you just end up with your go-tos. They have great jewelry options and will work with you to order outside of any of the brands in their cases, custom or otherwise. Go get poked and sparkly!

okay so now I've been here three times (once for my initial brows, once for my touch up…read moreappointment, and now for my body art tattoos!). I've never had a problem with parking here :) This place continues to impress me with their cleanliness and professionalism. The shop is cleaner than a lot of salons I've been in every time I walk in. I'm always greeted at the front door, and promptly handled or acknowledged. The shop itself and its owners are very strict on covid-19 protocols - all employees are masked, there's hand sanitizer available, and they are super responsible when their employees are sick (i.e. if employees are sick appointments are promptly rescheduled for client and shop safety. ) This place is the bomb: they do body art, piercings, and medical tattooing. They even do scar retouching for things like surgeries and Areola tattoos for people affected by breast cancer. I've worked with Sara (@scaktats on instagram- all three times I've been here, as she does permanent makeup and now body art!) Can't recommend her enough. She is very professional and kind - easy to communicate with, understanding, and flexible. She walked my partner and I through the process of picking flash tattoos and even worked with us to combine two of them. My partner got a smoking skull with a rose with a black and gray stippled design and I got a melting skull ice cream. (If you've never had a flash tattoo before - the design is drawn up before hand by the artist and you're able to pick from the design. This is different from custom tattooing where an artist makes a design specifically for you). Call the shop or go to their website to schedule an appointment - all of the artists here have instagrams and booking procedures that they follow. I've only worked with Sara but have heard good things about the other artists and the owner! Anyway - Sara is great, the shop is sanitary and covid-19 responsible, and the work here is gorgeous. I would highly recommend booking Sara for your body art tattoo or permanent makeup needs!

Any tattoo artist who can hammer down all the necessary nuances of Hebrew on the twitching skin of one of my old friends gets props in my book. They've got a piercer on staff who seems to do good work, too, although she understandably struggled to healthily re-pierce my beloved's belly button (whoever did it before used a freaking earring - I kid you not). They've moved within the past two years into a new building slightly to the north of town - it's an odd, semi-removed location, but their reworking of the overall structure and interior of the place (it used to be a horse & tack store called The Saddlery, believe it or not, that was torched by its owner - oh, arson) has made it pretty nice. I really enjoyed the clean lines and openness of the inside, and the staff there (Joe included) are friendly and helpful. My one beef with the place is that it's quickly obvious, upon entry, that the staff and others smoke inside. For such a newer, well-put-together environment in an industry that focuses on high standards of cleanliness and sterilization, cigarette smoke clinging to everything (including your clothes when you leave after a mere half hour) is a downer. A surprisingly professional, quality tattoo shop in a town for whom "tattoo" is generally synonymous with a place called Crazy Ray's. No, I'm not kidding.
