Everything I'd heard was true. They are both phenomenal. They take their time explaining the jewelry options and what's available. They really pay attention to your body structure and make sure that the look that you're trying to achieve is indeed achievable for you. I had the pleasure of Robb choosing jewelry with me and explaining all of the steps that would go into my septum piercing. I had debated on the piercing for quite a while and it took a chance one day and they were available to do it. I am thankful that I went in and I'm forever grateful for Robb and his care.

I was too excited. The receptionist comforted us. We had the jitters even though we are both pretty heavily pierced and tattooed. The piercer was calm and assesses each person individually and works to achieve their desired look.

We walked in and there was a bit of a wait, but that's on us for not making an appointment, so no worries there. There was another person waiting too, but we managed to social distance in the lobby. Once it was our turn, Stuart was awesome! He was 100% focused on the task at hand, answered all our questions with care and was obviously very passionate AND knowledgeable about what he does. What I appreciated most was that he narrates what is happening to your body, as well as talks through what you're feeling, and gives like, time count downs throughout, which I found REALLY helpful. CASH ONLY. In terms of wheelchair accessibility: the bathroom is definitely NOT wheelchair accessible. The door opens inward and there is a very narrow walkway between the counter and the wall that you need to pass through to get to the toilet. You *might* be able to navigate it with a cane, probably not with a walker, definitely not with a motorized wheelchair. The shop area itself (where you would be getting your tattoo or piercing) is open and the tables are moveable, but there is a narrow "walkway" between counters that you must pass through to get from the 'lobby' area to the 'shop' area. Parking is on the street and is catch-as-catch-can so allow yourself extra time (and pray for luck to the parking gods if it suits you) when coming by car. They offer a discount for veterans! CASH ONLY.

Tyler, at Be Kind Body Piercing sterilized the jewelry in front of us and pulled the needle out of the sterile packaging in front of us. The quality was amazing. Fast forward, my daughter had to have testing done and wasn't able to leave her piercing in. There wasn't an appointment available, so we joined the "waitlist." Within fifteen minutes, we received a text to come on in. Tyler removed her metal jewelry and replaced it with a temporary glass piece. Once her testing was done, we went back the next day for a new piece of jewelry. He put it in and she was "good as new." Tyler, the owner is very kind and makes his customers feel welcomed. The tattoo shop "Well Wishes," where this business is housed, let's off the same vibe. Easy going and welcoming. We will continue to come to Be Kind Body piercing and continue to tell our friends about this business.​

While this was happening the staff member I was sitting with was very impatient and unprofessional, at one point also asking me "Where's her f*cking ID?" I left the building with a little spike helix piercing, thinking it looked good. However, within the week, the spike had COME OFF. it's not a twist-off (even if it was, I never would've been able to find it) it actually just like... popped off. After that, I didn't want to accept that I had flushed $70 down the toilet, so I flipped it around and would press it in every hour or so because, even still, without the spike, it would sink into my ear and close the hole. This was a very painful addition to my piercing journey. And this morning, when I woke up, the whole thing was gone and the hole was closed. I'm very, very, unhappy about my piercing, and if I could go back in time, I would've gone somewhere else.

Long story short about me: I love the idea of tattoos and always have, I want many, and I have a very low tolerance for pain. So it's like wanting something that will always hurt you but ends up being beautiful and good in the end. Back to No Name and, to a greater extent, Roxy the tattoo artist there. Flawless? Amazing? Intelligent? Understanding? Calming? Funny? Clever? Inspirational? A GREAT TATTOO ARTIST??? I mean yea true but all of these don't even get me started on how this awesome woman, who always has a fun color or style to her hair (yesterday it was a nice pink!), has made getting tattoos for me... something I could handle. Especially after having a HORRIBLE tattoo artist ruin my arm and first tattoo for me for almost 1.5 years. I went to Hawaii (thanks Dad!) in April 2019 and got a small sea turtle on my right wrist as my first tattoo. I added to it May 2019 at Marked Marvels (no..... comment........) and that was a complete disaster. I got 2 more turtles and they weren't anything like I wanted. I ended up never going back there and hated my arm for 1.5 years. August 2020. Missed one appointment and was late I'm sure to another. But Roxy got me in and added my 4th turtle and added waves and then redesigned the previous 3 turtles to match. It became a stunning and elegant tattoo and I could finally look at my arm again and not cringe or be sad!! This was good customer service! She listen to the issues I had with the previous tattoo guy in the past. She understood my low pain tolerance and did all she could to make it as easy as can be. She's funny and lighthearted and it feels like more then some hair stylist who wants to know drama. She wants to know how one of her clients are doing. She's also wildly and insanely interesting and I love that she and I both enjoy a good and long vacation/trip away to other places! She is endlessly dynamic. But so is the place she works for/at and everyone who works there too. I've been there maybe 5-6 times in total for my 2 tattoo sessions and then a few other visits for consults and for upcoming stuff. This place is great. I never used the bathroom there till yesterday (3/03/2021) and... um.... SPOTLESS???? It actually smelled good...? Like a bathroom at someone's private home!!! Also HILARIOUS???? The wall art and home decor is wild. The way they present themselves. The knowledge they all know. The kindness and calmness. The attention to detail and an idea that ANYONE and EVERYONE they work with deserves a good service. Roxy is flawless. No Name Tattoo is a cute and small shop in the middle of downtown Utica and it fits right in. I love each and every session with her. Even the worst session I could ever experience with her wouldn't even ever compare to the issues I had at MM. That's information for a more negative review on their artist and place though. But for Roxy & No Name, the bar is set so high you'd think it reached a new galaxy. Imagine you're a tattoo artist and you've only done 2 sessions on/for someone but they tell you they want you to do their tattoos for the rest of your career or their life, whatever comes first. That's me with Roxy and I'm not joking at all. I told her that. The look in her eyes made my heart soar cause I truly found someone whose given me some of THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER RECEIVED. Better then doctors or other tattoo shops or food places. Better then them all. I truly can't wait to visit in 3 weeks for my newest tattoo's follow up. And to be there in June for a friend tattoo with my online BFF from Minnesota. #3 with Roxy on a list that just keeps on growing cause I know I have a tattoo artist who cares. In this day and age, someone who truly cares but doesn't charge "an arm and a leg" for that care is unbelievable and undeniable!!! GO TO NO NAME TATTOO AND GO SEE ROXY!!!!!

I got my conch pierced here and it ended up becoming embedded in my ear. When I came back because I was worried about it, they tried to push the jewelry back through my swollen ear to get it out. They were extremely aggressive with it, and it was honestly one of the most painful experiences I've had. My ear was bleeding and extremely swollen afterward, and they still weren't able to get it out. I ended up having to go to urgent care right after. Even the doctor who treated me commented on how much trauma had been done to my ear from them trying to force the piercing out. I was already scared about what was happening, and the way it was handled at the shop made the situation so much worse. What really threw me off was that afterward they called and offered me a free piercing. After everything that happened, getting another piercing there is the last thing I would want.I understand that complications can happen with any piercing, and I'm not leaving this review just because mine had a problem. I'm leaving it because of how the problem was handled once I came back for help. I wish they would have recognized when it was beyond what they could safely handle instead of continuing to force it and causing even more trauma to my ear. Unfortunately, I would not come back here for another piercing after this experience.
