I'm a senior adult female. I've had three cartilage piercings done here by the owner (not all at…read moreonce!). He was professional, did a quick, excellent job, gave thorough instructions about post-piercing care which I followed, and I healed well each time. The $40.00 fee, which included the earring, seemed totally reasonable for the skill sets required to do a safe and attractive job. I'm very happy with their service and will be going back.

I am not one to bash local businesses whatsoever, but I was completely blown away by the terrible…read morecustomer service in this place. And I was there less than 5 minutes. 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.

The colors were muted as well, then it was originally in bright blue and purple. I cried in the car on the way home. It was THAT bad. I will post photos and you can decide. I have never left a poor review online before but I don't want someone to go through what I went through.

He's an…read moreincredible artist who takes the time to listen to what you want and turn your ideas into something you, and everyone that sees your tattoo, will love. I quite literally told him to create something incredible for me and having an artist that can do this was important to me. What's he created is nothing short of beautiful and I can't wait until it's finished. His care for his work (and the people attached to it) is one reason people continue to go back to him. His studio is clean, with a great atmosphere, and those that work alongside him are equally as kind and talented. Go see Justin and the other artists at Flow. It will be the best artistic experience you will ever have!

I'll start by saying for the area he is the best at tattoos. However. You book a three hour session…read morebc your told that's all you need. I got worked on maybe half of it but still charged the full 450 plus tip. He says one more session just two hours. Again I got maybe half the time and still charged the 300 plus tip. So then he tells me one more session. Two hours should do it. He lost the stencil so my stomach tattoo is two different sizes and shapes. I look funny. And yet again I got maybe an hour out of the two hour 300 dollar session. Well then as he's cutting it half hour short tells me I have to come back for a fourth time. Well I was moving in a week so said hell no I'll just be pissed and disappointed pay and get it fixed where I am now. Completely rips you off unless your willing to succumb to his sexual advances which I was not. Sexually Harassed the whole three sessions. Glad I moved away and never have to see him or get work done sloppily again by him. He lied about selling me a camper. I think he's a shady POS. Do not recommend.

What an AMAZING experience I had at this shop!…read more My mom, sister, and I made same-day appointments with Jess at this beautiful tattoo/piercing/art gallery shop in downtown North Conway. It honestly was the best day in recent memory. This shop is unlike any tattoo spot I've been to - it's serene, calming, and immediately puts you at ease in a situation where you might be feeling a little nervous. Jess, Emma (the other tattoo artist), and Wayne (a piercer who has pierced me several times!) are all welcoming and fabulous to have conversations with. Jess is such an amazing artist - watching her tattoo is a thrill - and her artwork hanging around the shop is unreal. I spent much of my time here observing her amazing paintings, as well as the loads of gorgeous plants, succulents, and Victorian-esque items! This shop is clean, the artists are genuine, and the work they do is the best I've ever experienced. I don't see a reason to go anywhere else... I'll be back asap, Darling Grey!
