Chris P.

I had another appointment down the street to change out my nose piercing for a smaller one, but they didn't have any in stock. They recommended I try another place a few blocks away, and I'm so glad they sent me here! The customer service was amazing. I was a walk-in and didn't expect they'd be able to help me on such short notice, but they exceeded my expectations. Veronica was incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. She helped me find the perfect smaller piercing, and then Brian took over. Brian was amazing--super cool, hilarious, and very knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the size I needed and made the whole experience enjoyable. I highly recommend seeing him because he clearly knows his stuff! I've found my new go-to piercing place and will definitely be back to see Brian. Everyone who works here is so welcoming and professional. Thank you for such a great experience!

Rejecting daith due to incorrect jewelry and placement.

I spoke with Eric Dakota (the man who invented the daith) who said that I have a tricky anatomy for this piercing. I am retracting what I said about the healing because it simply wasn't Brian's fault. Brian was courteous and professional the whole time: definitely worth a visit! Also, what I thought was expensive for a gold ring was actually pretty standard. I will say, however, that I wish there was a larger jewelry selection after having seen other studios' BVLA, Tawapa, Hialeah, etc. collections. If you're okay with a simple stud, Brian has you covered; if you want something with more shape or different precious stones, I'd recommend somewhere like Julhead or Oak and Poppy (even though Oak and Poppy's selection is mainly diamonds).

My 2nd time visiting the man, the myth the legend Brian for a few new piercings. Brought my friend for her birthday and can't trust anyone else.. he's just the best! Based on my ears we mapped out a couple ideas and went from there.. added 3 more to my left ear and they are just perfect. Everyone in the shop is friendly and warm, it's a nice place to be. Perfect location and plenty of street parking! There's so many beautiful jewelry selections and Brian will keep you at ease during the entire process. You're in great hands with anyone at Body Electric.

Late review but just wanted to thank Brian for an amazing job. He is so knowledgeable and he is truly an artist. I love my piercings and and can't wait to go back.

Ray was Amazing! Best attitude and just all around perfect service. I am beyond picky about everything and he went above and beyond to make sure I left happy. Such a good human. Make sure to go in & get your next tattoo from him or anyone else on the team!

I first got pierced by Brian a year and a half ago and 18 piercings later, I would never go elsewhere. Brian has exceeded my expectations every visit; from piercings to post shortenings and any issues, he has always gone above and beyond. If you're looking to get pierced, Brian is the absolute best! Not only does he know how to decorate, he makes the process as painless as possible. I love my piercings and they bring a smile to my face every day. Some artists have brushes, Brian's stroke of genius is the needle.

I was in need of a piercer of experience 2 execute 5 piercings in 1 sitting. 2 on each lobe & 1 septum . Upon my doing research on YouTube, i came across BKT... I instantly knew he was the ryte person 4 the job. His résumé of clientele was tooo legit 2 b Bufu... I did not want 2 risk getting a crooked piercing, i thought- do it ryte, do it once. I got in contact with Veronica, & she set me up 4 a consult 2 get all my piercing measurements (i insisted i was very particular with my jewelry) (free of charge) den set me up 4 a date 2 get pierced All my piercings 4rm BKT were one n done straight & exactly where & how i wanted... I had read online that if a piercer doesn't pierce your "sweet spot" on your septum, it can go thru cartilage, which can be PAINFUL !!! My experience was literally painless... just a lil tears i later came back 4 a double brow piercing ===//= & as expected.. Perfect...BKT the best piercer... Worth the wait, price, whatever he expects... He's coo af Oh & the shoppe is dope n original... Nice floors, great choice of colors, the furniture, ambiance. Everything well thought out.. Thats how u know u about 2 get hooked up Thanks

Came in here for an ear piercing and Brian did an amazing job! I am truly satisfied with how the ear piercing came out! Great customer service as well and would definitely comeback. Would also like to add that Brian is a wonderful person and very talented, I respect the work he is doing!

First pass

I had a "double cover-up" back tattoo that was a complete mess! Veronica at the front desk got me connected with Tibo. You guys, Tibo made freaking MAGIC out of the worst possible tattoo. He was sooo nice and patient with me through multiple sessions. You will be in the best hands with him. He is amazing at his craft! Thank you so much Tibo!!!

Brian is the man! So sweet, so kind, good vibes. Did amazing with my nervous 13 year old sister for her first ear piercings. Clean shop, great front staff.

My 14K rose gold rook and 2 diamond cartilages pierced by Brian! I already had my helix and lobe pierced elsewhere.

Brian Keith Thompson is truly an expert piercer and stylist forsure. He's pierced Queen B, Cardi B, and many others. I really admire and love his style of piercing so I inquired about an appointment over email, which he then replied it's a $500 minimum to reserve an appointment with him. Each piercing being $50 each, a rook being about $370 total (jewelry and piercing) and each diamond stud being about $210 total. I made an appointment with him over email. His assistant confirmed the appointment the night before. Right when I met Brian, he immediately went straight to business while making me feel very comfortable. He has the type of personality where you instantly trust his opinion on what looks good, what doesn't, ultimately trusting him in general. I told him I wanted a rook piercing with a triple cartilage piercing. He said a triple would make my ear look too crowded, so we agreed on a rook and a double. (We both didn't want to do too many piercings at once). We then decided on jewelry (from BVLA -- so gold and diamonds), and then he prepped/sterilized all the equipment. The placement and actual piercings took about 5 minutes total. The entire process taking about 40 minutes. He also is very personable and talked to me/distracted me throughout the piercings. I'm not anxious or nervous about needles, but if you are, he would definitely be able to calm anyone down. After the appointment, they give you and explain a handout of how to take care of the jewelry, along with some mild soap. I'm so glad I booked an appointment with him. I will definitely come back in the future to get my lobes styled and pierced.

I've had my eye on Brian's ear art for years! & after FINALLY planning a trip to LA, I got to make an appointment with him. I set this appointment up as SOON as I found out we'll be in LA. Got to the shop, and met Brian and he is the most down to earth person! He's SO easy to talk to, and I can tell he gets along with EVERYONE, which makes your experience a million times better. I let Brian look at my ears and tell me what I should do. I trust his work. During my entire appointment, we talked stories as if we knew each other. I made my appointment right before my flight, so if I didn't have to book it outta there I'm sure I could be there for hours just talking stories. Brian is very detailed, and CLEAN. Very precise. Which is great for an artist. He marked all spots before piercing them. And pain wise it was literally a 2 out of 10. I've been WANTING to pierce my Tragus forever, but I've heard that it hurts. But the way Brian did it-NOPE! I 10000000% recommend you to see Brian!!!!! Such good meeting you Brian! See you in Hawaii @ Ono's!!!!

Frank S.

worth every penny for a truly professional piercing. this will probably be a core memory for my daughter after months of begging to have her ears pierced. 20/10 experience with Brian; there's nobody else i'd ever trust for a piercing again.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and immediately made to feel at ease. The shop itself is very clean and welcoming. The jewelry is beautifully displayed. I just wish I remembered the name of the woman who helped us because she made such an impression. She walked us through all the options at different price points in a way that felt completely neutral and respectful. There was no subtle steering toward something more expensive. It genuinely felt like whatever we chose was the right choice. Ivy, my piercer, was incredibly thorough and precise. I really want to stress how pleasant and painless this piercing was. I am talking pain level 0 out of 10. I AM NOT MAKING THAT UP. She is extremely clean in her process and talked me through every step so I always knew what was happening. The room itself felt like a doctor's office in terms of cleanliness and professionalism. I wanted to write this because there aren't many reviews here about septum piercings specifically. When I was searching for where I wanted to go, Oak and Poppy kept coming up but I didn't see many septum reviews. Ivy is a true professional in this work. It's clear she knows exactly what she's doing. The staff cares about the customer's experience and it shows every step of the way. If you're looking for a septum piercing and want an experience that feels comfortable, this is the place to go! Thank you Ivy! Thank you Oak and Poppy!

The staff here are friendly and welcoming. I'm giving 4 stars for their customer service,…read morecleanliness, and responsiveness. My husband and I got matching tattoos here and for the tattoo itself it's 3 stars. Today, it has been 3 days since we got the tattoo and although the tattoo itself is small, has fine lines, and is on the wrist, it appears as if it has a smear/smudge on one of the corners on both tattoos. This isn't my first tattoo, and my husband and I have been following the after care and have been careful. It's on the healing stage, but you can tell that the corner line differs and there is a smudged area on both tattoos. For both these it was $240 total and done by Chris. I will update this review once the tattoos heal completely.

Not only is this woman one of the most talented humans alive, but she is such an amazing and kind person and getting to be tattooed by her has become such a highlight of my life. When I first met her, I was in a really bad place with my health. I was living with some very serious health issues and was just overall struggling so much and truthfully, I felt like a foreigner in my own body. I first got a Wicked tattoo done by her and when I walked into Supersweet, I was so nervous. I had many other tattoos but I was just in a very vulnerable place and at that time, everything made me anxious. When she sat down with her designs, what she had come up with took my breath away. It was so much better than I could have ever imagined and it was the most stunning design I'd ever seen. As we sat down to get started, she could tell that I was nervous and was so gracious, gentle, compassionate and understanding, and really took her time to make sure I felt safe. This meant the world to me. After that, I was scheduled to have a tattoo with her again, and I needed to cancel bc I ended up having emergency back surgery. She was, again, so kind, loving, understanding and supportive. I have since come in and gotten quite a few more tattoos with her and for the first time in so long, my body feels like my own again and I am excited to look down and see my beautiful tattoos done by her. I fully intend to be her client from now until, honestly, however long she'll have me. Her work is stunning and I have so much fun at our sessions. She is someone I deeply appreciate and I truly couldn't be more grateful for Alexa! She's such a kind human, that my husband, who SWORE he would never get a tattoo started warming up to the idea because he finally felt safe and comfortable and that was solely because of her. He officially just got his first tattoo from her. I am so excited for more tattoo fun and I HIGHLY recommend booking with her!

I was definitely giving toddler energy by kicking my feet and asking questions and she totally entertained every second of it. We talked about movies, tv shows, travel, music, etc. The conversation totally helped distract from the pain and before i knew it the session was over. I thought parking would be tough, but i went on a Saturday afternoon and found parking relatively easily a block away on Lake Shore Ave. The quality of work is top notch and my tattoo came out exactly as i wanted it to. Strongly recommend!

He wanted double bands around his forearm and Sam was able to sketch it out and do the tattoo on the same day. We were in and out within 1.5 hours. He explained the process and aftercare which made getting a tattoo seamless and less daunting. I was on the fence about getting a tattoo but my friend said if he got one I would have to get one too. I decided to get a runner with an ekg as I thought it was fitting for me. I wanted something small for my first tattoo and easily to keep hidden from my mom (sorry mom). He asked me to send him a picture of what I wanted and scheduled an appointment for Monday at 11am. Once Monday came I walked over and signed the consent form. He then printed out the tattoo and placed the outline on my chest and asked me if it was where I wanted it. Being a tattoo noob I trusted his judgement. After letting the outline dry I laid down and he began working on the piece. He said since it was a small tattoo and mainly lines there shouldn't be much pain and the healing process wouldn't be as long. It took about 30 mins to finish up the tattoo and the quality came out amazing. There was no pain at all and he went over the aftercare as well. I showed Sam this other tattoo I wanted and he said he would be able to do that as well. He says his art style is realism and anime so I can't wait to get more work done by him. He has been tattooing for 2 years now along with his apprenticeship. He told me to message him when I'm ready for my next piece.
