I've had some upsetting experiences at other piercers, and I knew from my previous tattoo experiences here that it would be the perfect place to get a piercing.

My friends have also gone here before and all of our tattoos and piercings have healed amazingly. Pricing is available on the website is very reasonable, and included the price of the starter jewelry pictured here (each lobe is $20, daith is $40).

I was extremely nervous, but excited, about getting my piercings done, and Nick answered all of my questions thoroughly, assured me that my nerves were normal, and made sure that I was comfortable throughout the entire procedure. I could not be happier with the results, and with the service that I received while I was at Yankee Tattoo. Even the atmosphere was great, the shop is well lit, and the walls are covered with artwork. I have not gotten a tattoo here, but after seeing the shop and the tattoo artists at work, I would definitely come here for some ink as well. Thank you Nick and Yankee Tattoo for a wonderful piercing experience!

So I walked to this place that was open, it was weird a lot of tattoo shops closes early, so I found this place, the staff was awesome!! I wanted a basic tattoo and got a butterfly, always wanted a butterfly, love butterflies the woman at the front desk was pretty cool and helped me pick the right one (yes there are many different butterflies) and also had to find the perfect size for where I wanted it, I didn't want it too big or small. The guy who did mine was pretty cool as well, very patient when I was telling him where I wanted it. It didn't take long to do, actually fell asleep, and it turned out beautifully. The outlines of the butterfly was pretty badass. Loved it. If anyone is looking for a place to get a tattoo here around Burlington, I would definitely go here. Vibes are amazing here as well. They do a lot of amazing work. I get compliments everyday at work of my tattoo as well.

I have 29 tattoos. Nine of them We're done by random artist. All around New England. I'm satisfied…read morewith the tattoos they did, but I felt like I was just another job to them. In my opinion to get a tattoo, something that is going to be on your body for the rest of your life you need to develop a relationship with your tattooist. You need to be able to go to your tattooist and say to them this is what I vision on my body. Your tattooist needs to be able to see your vision and be able to tell you what they can and can't do, and to put that vision into effect. I went to Kevin Graf of Goat Head Grafix with an idea. I told him that I wanted my arm covered with certain symbols for law-enforcement but I wanted them to look beaten and used , like they have gone through hell. He saw what I wanted , tweaked it a little bit with me and marked me for life with the tattoo that I absolutely wanted. I came to him again with another idea Kevin tweaked it and at this point I realized that I had found the tattooist I was going to use for both my arm sleeves.Not only is Kevin talented, him and his wife Cindy are just good people. Every time I walk into that shop Kevin either has a handshake or a hug for me and Cindy is just the same. So yes the other 20 tattoos on my body Are Kevin Graf originals.I will not let anybody else touch my arms Kevin is going to sleeve them both. Also his pricing is a lot lower than you would think especially for the quality of work you get. I almost don't want to recommend Goathead Graffix and Kevin Graf because the more people that go there the harder it will be for me to get an appointment.

Not only does she provide a personal experience, putting you at ease in an otherwise uncomfortable situation, but she does so with an attention to quality that is as meticulous as it is efficient. In addition to the outstanding work she puts out her prices are well within reason, as attested by the fact that I drive from Boston just to have her work on me, and I can honestly say that aside from raw talent, she really cares about the work she does and the people who will be sporting her ink for years to come.

Whereas others who've worked on me have shown a real interest in getting a design right, Tom was clearly focused on getting me in and out quickly so he could go to the local fair. The layout and placement of the design are terrible, and he went way too deep, leaving me a scabby mess for almost a month. Tom completely lacked basic "bedside manners," and spent much of the time chattering with his girlfriend. There are far better tattooists in the area (Lila at Rock City Tattoo in Barrie is amazing), so save your time and money and go elsewhere.

I was here first in March of 2015 with a family member who had a piercing done. The experience was fine. Not great but not bad. The piercing turned out as it should have. No real complaints there. Flash forward to today when my nose ring fell out at work. I went to Body Language hoping to pick up a new one and be on my way. The man who helped me (and was also the same piercer I encountered last year) took me to find a new nose stud. I told him I had a very small gauge hoop before. We pick one out and without warning me beforehand just starts to shove it into my nose. Seeing as this stud was a larger gauge than I was used to, it was very painful when he tried to insert it. (By the way I didn't even want any help putting it in, I just wanted a damn nose ring.) I kindly let him know "it doesn't usually hurt like this, it goes in pretty easily". He tells me that that's the smallest gauge they have. So I say thank you for your time and help, I'll just have to look somewhere else. No biggie. Was expecting him to say "okay sorry we couldn't be of more help" or "we can order a better size for you". Nope...He then proceeded to throw the nose ring behind him like a child and shoo me out. It was completely uncalled for. I sincerely hope that his people skills improve. If he treats customers like that I have no idea how this place is still open. For the record, I've only had an encounter with this one man. The other employees could be great. But this experience was so off putting I would never come back.
