I can't say enough good things about Body Anthology. I've been tattooed by Alex several times now,…read moreand every single experience has been amazing. 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.

The receptionist was incredibly kind and welcoming, very attentive and willing to relay messages to the artist to ensure he'd be able to tattoo what we wanted. We waited around 30 minutes in the very clean and calm lobby which has tinted windows to create a cozy but private setting. Marquise was our tattoo artist and he was so kind, very patient, and quick with a steady hand! He was able to knock two arm tattoos out in about an hour which was impressive. The quality is amazing, the line work is stunning, and the pricing was great. I highly recommend this shop as they're very kind, clean, and ready to help any way they can to ensure you receive a tattoo you'll love.

Other shops in Cleveland might be more popular, but Black Metal is the BEST. I feel blessed to have this talent in our area, especially piercer Chris and artist Chad. (My arm by Chad is the Maleficent half-sleeve in the photos from 2014!) The shop is pristine & the guys here are goofy professionals playing loud music who care about making art on your body. You'll receive instructions on how the procedures will go and how to best care for your work when it's finished. I've gotten work done elsewhere on the West Side of Cleveland that healed like garbage -- that will never be the case at Black Metal. A serious gem about a mile West of South Park.

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!

Walking into this place, I was pleasantly surprised by the cool decor. Photographs of adorable and…read moregoofy dogs hung on the walls, and it just reminded me of one of those really cool salons. The girl at the front desk was extremely pleasant (both times I was there), which somehow helped calm my nervousness about meeting with the doc for my first tattoo removal. I met with Dr Kates, who was so cool and easy going, which again really helped me stay calmer than I wanted to feel. (The anticipation is the worst!) She explained the hows and whys of the procedure asked if I wanted to get to it right then and there, explained that it would take 15min *tops*, but unfortunately I had to come back another day. When I came back a few days later, same great, low key, this-is-no-big-deal experience and the process of lasering my tattoo away took so little time, I was floored. Honestly, I don't think I could have had a better experience. Also I have to say the fact that they offer discounts for tattoo removal for people joining the military is so awesome. And yes it is painful, but not more painful than actually getting tattooed on some of the more tender parts of the body!
