He's not only incredibly talented and creative, but also super attentive and responsive from start to finish. Alex has done gorgeous dog portraits for me and an arm piece that honestly turned out even better than I imagined. He makes the whole process comfortable, checks in often, and you can tell he truly cares about the final result. If you're looking for an artist who's both professional and genuinely passionate about what he does, Alex is the one. I highly, highly recommend him and Body Anthology -- you won't be disappointed.

My husband and I have been getting tattoos by Mark S. before he opened this shop. He is a…read morephenomenal artist who takes the extra time to make sure ever single aspect of the artwork is absolutely perfect (from start to finish). We drive all the way up to Ohio to get tattooed from South Carolina because we wouldn't trust our skin to anyone else. The shops environment is clean, edgy, and extremely modern. The walls contain numerous pieces of handcrafted artwork to display their artists talents. Needs ideas? Don't worry, they also have plenty of books/posters which allow customers to build or create tattoo ideas. As for some of the other reviews: a shop that doesn't take walk-in appointments or takes a while to get in the books clearly establishes the level of work the artist perform. The artist needs ample time to draw up designs and allot ample time slots so they aren't forced to rush through pieces. Clearly, I highly recommend this place!!!!

My friend and I went to True Art Tattoo for a belly button piercing, and from the moment we walked…read morein, the experience was disappointing. The piercer, a white woman with black hair, was unfriendly and came across as snarky and rude from the very beginning. Instead of taking my friend to a private area, she had her lift up her shirt in the lobby. She then had her sit on the couch, looked her up and down, shook her head, and told her she was "too fat" for a belly button piercing and that she didn't have the right anatomy. Whether or not someone is a candidate for a piercing, there is a respectful and professional way to communicate that. The way she spoke to my friend was humiliating and unnecessarily hurtful. My friend already struggles with body image, and hearing those comments from another woman left her feeling embarrassed and ashamed. Watching someone treat another person that way was upsetting. After leaving, we went to another piercing shop, where the piercer evaluated her professionally and completed the piercing without any issues. We were also told that the interaction we experienced at True Art Tattoo was handled in a very unprofessional manner. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend True Art Tattoo. We encountered rudeness, body shaming, and a complete lack of compassion and professionalism. No customer should leave feeling belittled over their body.

Moving to a new city and finding a great (and reputable) piercing studio is a tricky one. You want…read moreto befriend a piercer for all your sparkling needs and find a front of house to help in curations, custom orders and more. After leaving a studio who did all that and more for me on the east coast, mid-ear project, I was on the hunt. GoodLife is appointment only, with reputable piercers, jewelry options and a cleanliness that reminds you of a fancy (but cool) drs office. NGL my first visit, I was welcomed by a tough FOH. I'd be lying if it wasn't the first time I've encountered a person who treated someone who is not as alt presenting differently. BUT my knowledge of jewelry and brands, placements and piercing upkeep is thorough and the reason I bothered driving 45 mins to this studio. Upon making my appointment I picked out Kelly, who JUST so happened to work that weekend. They were AHMAZING, sweet, professional, and made you feel good. And for me, it was good enough to keep coming back. They introduced me to Ezra, the studio manager, for a custom order placement and that interaction continued to make up for the initial not so great check in. I've been back 2 more times since and have had great service each time. I've been introduced to Marissa as well and look forward to having a second piercer to work with on my ears. Folks know but its like tattoo artists, you just end up with your go-tos. They have great jewelry options and will work with you to order outside of any of the brands in their cases, custom or otherwise. Go get poked and sparkly!
