The most recent is what I find to be subpar and the reason I am done getting bad tattoos. I wanted the new tattoo to be the best and all I got was so-so. If an artist feels the location isn't the best, offer another location or admit thay it can't be done in a way to be proud of. This new one HAD to be perfect, it HAD to make me proud. It was of my brother's participation in the Navy,.on an aircraft carrier. He now has stage 4 small cell lung cancer as well as brain damage from falls necessitating 3 craniotomies. I cannot show Jim my tattoo in honor of him. You tell me, is this tattoo for my brother, Jim, something that you would be proud to show a professional tattoo. VERY UNFORTUNATELY, I do not. It cannot be fixed. That's the one bad thing about tattoos. Note the lettering at the end of of "Oriskany" and the.l crooked lines in the yellow and red shading. I wasted $230 on a bad tattoo.

I can't say enough good things about Steeve and the entire Release Body Modification team!…read more This Iowa City gem is easy to walk past on Linn Street as it's not super flashy on the outside. They're open Tuesday through Saturday and take appointments with a $20 deposit. Peep their website for specials and availability, as it's appointment only. My nine year old had a horror story from a botched Claire's piercing years ago. (Long story short, it wasn't done properly and her lobe ripped. Eek.) Fast forward a few years and after letting her lobes heal fully-- I felt we were ready to try again. I contacted Steeve and he was confident we'd have no issues and I set up an appointment! We popped in on a Tuesday (buy one piercing, get one free). The staff greeted us with smiles! My daughter, Cora, went to the jewelry case and selected a bubble gum pink opal set that were reasonably priced. There was quite a selection: tons of sizes, metals, etc. Steeve was a calm, professional presence that treated Cora with respect and care. He walked her through the process and showed her what he was doing or going to do. He let her know he'd stop whenever she wanted and really emphasized it was ok to be nervous. He had her do deep breaths throughout as a way to countdown when a piercing was going to happen and even jammed some Taylor Swift during the appointment. It was refreshing as a parent to not be the one he was talking to, but Cora, instead. It's her ears after all! Cora was a rockstar (not even a tear was shed) but I attest it is partly because Steeve and the entire team set her up for success. Reminder-- bring an ID! Even for littles it is required. Release Body Modification is a piercing shop that can do just about anything you want, piercing wise. Quality is definitely the #1 priority from the piercing itself to the jewelry sold here. Beyond that, I can't emphasize enough that it is a compassionately run shop. Set up your appointment today!

He took a great deal of time to measure and drew out on each brow where they SHOULD have actually been placed the first time before starting. He offers two sessions for the quoted price. The second session being for any changes you as a client want to have tweaked. I am extremely happy with the color and shape! I am CONFIDENT this time they WILL last! He also takes a great deal of time to educate while he is working. Everything from the "Art" of tattooing, to the maintenance (& care) of your investment! Just couldn't be happier with the end result, and will be bringing in a friend, (who has now seen his work first hand) to get her own eyebrow tattoos! Thanks again! Cathy M.

Kris made sure to talk through the aftercare process (even though I've been tattooed before) and free touch up policy before we started, then had the paperwork ready to go. She also made sure to go over the final design with me one more time and then helped place the stencil so it frames my shoulder really well. She not only showed me the sealed needles but also talked about which colors and shades she chose and why. Once we got rolling Kris was so easy to talk to the time just flew by. I hardly felt a thing until the very end. 4 hours very well spent, and a beautiful tattoo is done.

Temple Body Arts is a clean, cool looking studio. It does not try to be pretentiously hip nor over the top swanky. I worked with Nic, the owner on my latest piece. Nic was great with communication. Setting up the appointment was easy. Putting down the deposit was also very simple. He told me he would have something drawn up for me when I got there and to my surprise, he did. This was literally the first time I have ever had a tattoo artist have something drawn up before I got there. Typically they tell you they will, then they forget or get busy doing other things and have to draw something up on the spot. He worked with me on the sizing of the tattoo and the placement. In hindsight, this was also the least painful tattoo I have ever gotten. Of course, depending on where you get a tattoo will determine a lot of the pain, however, I felt he had a soft touch. Of course, none of that means anything unless the tattoo turned out the way I wanted it. I can honestly say that I am thrilled with how it turned out. So much so that I will definitely be returning for future pieces. Highly recommend the shop!
