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.

You definitely need to make an appointment, and any wait is 100% worth it. I cannot gush over this shop enough!

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!

I met with Erich who had some creative ideas for my coverups when most people prior had told me I would be stuck with the original ink, he didnt think that surrender was an option. The staff here is very friendly and take the time to get to know you and want the best work done to your satisfaction. I had some work done on the arches of my foot and they wore out a little but Diego said if ever back in the neighborhood he would retouch up the work for free. I recently returned again and took him up on his offer and he did the retouch for me as promised. Highly reccomend these guys and they are always available to accomodate your time slots to get the job done.
