Walt is professional, calm, patient, and a wonderful conversationalist. He took time to truly listen and make sure my friend and I were happy and comfortable with every stage of the tattoo process. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the work done. The shop is clean, cool, and very inviting. There is also a parking lot, which is a huge surprise in Bay View! If you're thinking about getting pierced or tattooed, I highly recommend starting here.

The owner Heidi is really friendly and explains everything to you. I didn't even buy anything the first two times I went there. She remembered my name which was cool and a couple times during our transaction a few groups of girls yelled hello to her so I'm assuming she's well liked. If you want any type of body jewelry that isn't Spencer's or Hot Topic garbage she has it! If you want that small business customer service and charm then shop with Heidi and her fiancé. It's not often you find people willing to really help you anymore! Good luck to them! Lets just pray my nose ring doesn't fall out....

I got a cute little ghost tattoo (which now has cowboy boots and a cowboy hat and his name is Gerard) and immediately worked on scheduling another appointment in the future for a spine/back tattoo. Frit was amazing and came up with an absolutely gorgeous design (even though I was not much help in giving ideas, sorry Frit!!). Never once did she make me feel bad or like a burden when I asked for things to be tweaked/changed, and when we finally got a design agreed on, we started with the first session and got all of the line work knocked out. After two more sessions, we got the shading and detail all done as well and it looks absolutely killer! Frit is super easy going and fun to spend full 8 hour sessions with so it isn't boring/awkward/etc. and I'm so glad I came in that first day for a random tattoo so I could find my forever artist! Thank you Frit for always doing an amazing job, and I can't wait for many more tattoos to come!

Crooked, super thick jewelry (way thicker than needed for healing), rejected immediately. Then, against my better judgement I went in to get some new high nostril jewelry. The piercer refused to use a tool to put them in correctly and kept trying to jam the jewelry in causing lots of pain (they're fully healed). Then once she accepted she needed the tool, she put in the wrong size. A simple jewelry change was a nightmare and my high nostrils were irritated for a week. So unprofessional and atmosphere is not welcoming. I've gotten many piercings from different places and I promise you can find a safer option around here.

Friendly, quick, clean and so affordable. I don't think I'll go anywhere else for piercing related needs. I haven't had a tattoo here so I can't speak to that, but I imagine that's also awesome.

Got my septum here and it was perfect, the lady that did it was super sweet and kind, loved her, she explained as she went what she was doing and the things I should be feeling. I got a lobe piercing here and also perfect, this time it was a guy that was piercing me, and he was cool, but not as kind, but the third one, my industrial piercing, that one was another story. Bad: Lets start off with reception. The guy in the front desk is always serious and seems to be over with it. But whatever, maybe he is and hope he is happy maybe out of work. The industrial piercing I got was maybe the worst experience. I waited like for 2 hours for it. Got the piercer (guy from 2nd piercing) to check my ear to see if I had the right anatomy and he said I did, so I went with it. I maybe moved, and because of the adrenaline of the pierce I fainted when I got it done, he took the situation all well, and gave me instructions of after-care and all. I understood that the healing of an industrial takes 6-12 months. But it has been around 7 months since, and I believed the ear has healed like 55% of the way. I know this is not a professional opinion place, but I asked Reddit if my ear and piercing was okay. And ALL the comments said I definitely did not have the anatomy and that I should get the piece put ASAP, as my ear's flat had been pierced, and not the part that should've be pierced for an industrial. I am finding a place that is not Body Rituals to get the industrial removed. I would still recommend the place to others, but for industrials, no. The space of piercing is clean, piercers are generally nice, and the place in general has a nice aesthetic and music. I would not have minded though. I know that my piercer had years of experience, and maybe it was me that ended up moving, but I would not get offended of getting told that I do not have the anatomy and find alternatives to a piercing that does look like an industrial.

She also didn't tell me what jewelry she was going to install, now there is a gem into my ear. I really, really dislike the gem but I can't change it and now I'm stuck with it-I'm upset about this . I also really dislike the placement where I got the piercing, I could have advised against it but she convinced me otherwise and I kind of hate the placement and immediately regret it. They install titanium jewelry which is great but don't come here for a piercing if you value choosing what jewelry you have and professionalism. Maybe other piercers are more equip for this service but I don't recommend going here, please do research and choose somewhere else. She didn't even introduce her name to me but my piercer was female identifying with gauges. Please DO NOT get a piercing by anyone complimentary to this description PLEASE! Two days later update- I had to get this removed because it was so crooked and I was concerned about getting an infection!! Save yourself and be safe!! Also the piercing she did is absolutely horrible, it's uneven and crooked. PLEASE DONT GO HERE!!!!!

When I called, they mentioned a $100 minimum, but I didn't confirm whether that applied to each of us individually. We were all getting the same tiny ladybug tattoo in honor of my grandma who passed away. From previous experiences at other places, I've sometimes seen the price adjusted for small, matching tattoos done in a group. That was my mistake for not clarifying, so we ended up spending $300 total. While the tattoos were done quickly and turned out well, I honestly don't think the small, simple design was worth $100 per person. The shop was clean, and the service was good, but I wouldn't recommend going here for something as small as we got.
