I've been coming here for YEARS and there's nowhere else I would rather go. To be fair, I met Jay…read moreprobably.... 10 years ago and just kind of followed him since. Everyone in this shop is patient, open minded, totally willing to work with whatever you want, upfront, honest, and knowledgeable. Though the shop is family friendly, please understand that language is used loosely, and it's a room full of people getting stabbed with needles. You may hear a few colorful words- but that's the business that you've walked into. Can't say enough great things about these guys. Just go meet them yourself for any tattoo/piercing needs.

I look forward to my next appointment with Doug.

I got my first tattoo from Mickey here back in May 2017 and I couldn't be happier. When I described…read moreover the phone what I was wanting, I could sense his excitement for me. At my appointment, I brought in a picture of what I was looking for; he then took my picture and created a drawing for what my tattoo could look like. The pain was to be expected but the end result made it totally worth it. Now I completely understand when people say "once you get a tattoo, you'll keep wanting more". Can't wait to add into my arm band and make it more beautiful!

I live in…read moreCalifornia but came back to visit family here in CT and figured I might as well get a tattoo while I'm home. After searching around and remembering some of the artwork I saw before from Propaganda I knew that this was where I wanted and needed to go. Alin was my artist and I definitely made the right decision in come here. I honestly had one of the best experiences I've ever had getting a tattoo here. I've never been more satisfied and happy with the outcome. He was very friendly, helpful, and a joy to talk to since I had to sit for about an hour and a half (he even invited my girlfriend to join is meditation group). The shops a little tight but cozy, the other staff was friendly, and everything was clean and sterile. I'm actually going back in a week to have Alin fix another tattoo that I have that is blown-out and distorted. Waiting until I came back form California to come here was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Coming here just to check it out is worth your time.

I was sincerely impressed by his use of technology to enhance the sketch and stencil. I got three small tattoos and it was a painless and enjoyable process. He took a lot of time to make sure everything I wanted was perfect...And the end result was better than I could have imagined. I'm just glad I didn't find him sooner! I'd be covered!!! Ha! You definitely need to make an appointment, and any wait is 100% worth it. I cannot gush over this shop enough!

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!

When you get your appointment verification, carefully read what time you are supposed to be there. They suggest you get there 5 minutes early. My appointment was at 3:10 - I got there at 3:15 because I got lost. Because I was late, there wasn't time to sterilize my earrings and get pierced before their 3:30 lunch break. I had to wait until they reopened at 4:00. I had two piercings done in each earlobe. Not the most pleasant experience, because piercing does hurt. I'm glad I don't have anything else I want pierced.

I've heard so many horror stories of people getting their cartilage pierced, so I was very particular in where I went. Safe to say, I am so so so glad I came to Stay True.

My piercer was so incredibly knowledgeable of what he was doing that all of my anxiety went away. He also addressed my questions with a lot of care. I'm so incredibly happy my new piercings!! My new favorite place to talk about.
