You gotta get Rob-ed! Rob’s talent in tattooing is exceedingly fabulous. His skill in providing an excellent, high quality tattoo is paramount to any other artist from whom I have received tattoos. He clearly works very hard to perfect his craft and loves what he does! I loved everything about this place. Ambiance, decor, staff, cleanliness, price, literally everything! Even took my daughter to get tattooed by Rob the week after he did mine. It’s not just Rob though, all the tattoos leaving this place are performed by skilled and talented artists who obviously understand the craft. Can’t say enough nice things about this place. Just GO!!!🥰🥰🥰
I got a tattoo from Rob, and the experience was incredible. Quick, yet thorough consultation and first appointment for lining set-up. Following lining, I had the shading appointment set-up. The photo shows the final outcome (minus healing). My advice would be to give Rob a general idea about what youd like, then allow him creative control, because you cant tell Michelangelo how to paint the Sistine Chapel.
Gray has done two of my tattoos so far and not only is he insanely fast but his work is amazing. I also had my piercings taken out here before I had surgery and also had a positive experience. All around amazing shop! Everyone is super friendly and welcoming as well.
I came in for a walk-in piercing without an appointment and was met with a friendly response. As nerve wracking as it can be to strip in front of a stranger (a strange male at that), my piercer was professional and informative the whole time. His calm demeanor put me at ease and the experience wasn’t nearly as bad as I imagined it would be. I will definitely be coming back here for future piercings and I might even try and get a tattoo. I’m super happy with my piercing. Id post a picture, but that might violate some public decency laws 😝
Walked in to schedule my tattoo, never had any issues communicating with my tattoo artist and she responded actively and gave suggestions without overpowering my choices. I scheduled a month out and when it was time to go i went in and everything ran smoothly. I would recommend for sure
My tattoo came out above and beyond amazing. If you’re looking for a quality traditional styled tattoo and more, go to Rob. Such a down to earth guy making timeless art you won’t regret. Should’ve thanked him more, but I will be back for another 🔥🔥
Gray Nguyen was my artist for my first neck tattoo and he absolutely nailed it. Definitely will be seeing him soon for another piece!
I saw Mike to get my ears pierced and he was fantastic. I told him how I hated needles and he did a great job at talking to me the entire time to distract me from what he was doing. The entire process was quick, easy and painless. Everyone I interacted with was so friendly and made you feel welcomed. I am definitely going back to get another piercing!
We had the BEST experience here today! I took my daughter (16) to get her ears pierced for the first time. She was a little apprehensive but they took amazing care of her. We walked in and there was no one at the counter. Almost immediately, one of the tattoo artists came out and said that someone would be right with us. Another minute later, and the receptionist came over and couldnt have been more friendly or helpful (we found out her name is Lucy). We filled out the paperwork, then she took us right back to Mike, the piercing guy. Mike was great. Very friendly, helpful, and had a great personality - perfect for putting my daughter at ease. The piercing took maybe 5 minutes total. He didnt rush us and answered all of our questions, was very professional, and made sure she knew what to do for after-care. Ill absolutely go back if we ever need their services again.
I got my tattoo done by Gray and it came out just how I wanted it to. He was very professional and his work is always well done, his work can also be seen on instagram @grayy.tattoos
This was my first piercing and Lauren was absolutely the BEST at communicating everything I needed to know without me even asking, placement of the earrings was perfect and she made sure I was comfortable and happy, best experience I couldve hoped for! Thank you!
First off a huge thank you to lauren! Im terrible with names but im pretty sure that’s her name. I went in for a repiercing, and she was so friendly and understanding about my situation. All in all, we got it done quickly and I couldn’t be more impressed and happy about the result! I urge anyone looking to get piercing done to go to lauren and/or any of the staff members. Im sure all of them are great but my experience was with lauren. And thank you again lauren!
Gray is the absolute best tattoo artist at this shop. His work is super detailed and realistic. He takes his time and really focuses. I used another tattoo artist at this location, whom shall not named, and then had to have Gray fix his work and he did an amazing job. Highly recommend him!
Nancy was great as the person who greeted me! Lauren is an awesome piercer! She was so friendly and told me everything to expect when getting the piercing I got! She talked me thru the whole process and we super helpful and nice! I also had the pleasure of DMing with Lucy and shes awesome too! I felt right at home at The Body Gallery! Easy to get to location and very clean. It was a cool place to get some work done!
Shout out to Lauren! How pleased I was with the service starting with my phone call! Will I return and recommend! Absolutely!!!
Got my nose pierced twice here, amazing staff. The whole experience was quick and painless
Always super friendly and easy to work with. Lucy and Lauren - piercers - are fantastic.
Amazing service the staff was really nice and really funny. I got a helix piercing their and they were very kind about how they did it. They walked me through the steps and after they pierced it they were really nice and they offered all sorts of nice things like candies and water in case of shock. They used a hollow needle which is way better for piercings. They place was very clean as well. For some people who might not be fully prepared for a piercing they have all sorts of sprays they sell there that u can use to clean it. The person that pierced my ear said that all the workers there we trained in cpr in case someone has any medical problems or goes into shock. So far my ear has healed very nicely with the spray they sell there. The spray is called H2Ocean and it usually comes in a blue bottle. Again the staff there was extremely nice and the place was very clean. I would highly recommend this place!
Rob was very rude, cocky and condescending. My close friend got a large tattoo that within days needed to be redone and after finding out about our bad experience wouldn’t go back. She found another place ( they said they would be ashamed of the work done on her at this place). I went in for a small tattoo not even palm size and I was charged almost $300 for a 15 minute tattoo. The tattoo my friend did was hour and half large tat and paid almost $200. Cost extremely inconsistent, make sure you ask first! Appointments are $80 just to reserve a spot to talk to someone about your tat. Not professional. They get a lot of business but after losing 3 paying customers from this event you might want to rethink your bad attitudes, pricing, and respect for ALL people.
I went to Burkee for some ear lobe piercings. His station was very clean. He was a straight shooter and new what kind of spacing I was looking for without much explanation. After cleaning and marking my ears he swiftly pierced them. He even specially ordered titanium studs for me in a variety of sizes. The day after I wanted to buy a matching set of studs for my primary holes, he put them in for me and was extremely gentle not to irritate my new piercings. Great experience, he is lovely and professional.
It was awesome Mike did my Septum of my nose. Of course it hurts but only for a little bit he did a great job of talking to me letting me know whats happening whats going to happen and asked if I had any questions. I would recommend the tattoo shop
I totally would recommend anyone to Rob Kinzel at The Body Gallery, if they are looking to get a tattoo; his artwork is beautiful, he is super professional and fun; he made me feel so comfortable and the end result was totally amazing! Thank you Rob!
The lady who did my tattoo was so nice! I cant remember her name :/ but she was Russian. It was my first time and she made it a great experience!
I got a matching tattoo w my sister and the artist was extremely heavy handed which caused both of our tattoos to heal a bit patchy and faded. My sister recently went back by herself for 2 tattoos in 1 session and she said the experience was so awful she didn’t even do the 2nd tattoo and she would never go back, after being there many times! The artist was rushing her, annoyed when she asked him to fix something in the sketch (this was the first time requesting a change?) and the artist wasn’t even comprehending what she was asking for. Now today I called for my second nose piercing they said come in no wait, I get there literally 10 mins after the phone call she says 30 min wait. I understand people can walk in and make a wait that’s out of their control but again the lady was rude and just trying to rush me out, and got an attitude when I mentioned there was no wait 10 mins ago. She could’ve literally just asked me if I wanted to schedule an appointment for a later time. I’ve had 3 tattoos done from here my sister has probably had at least 5 from this place and we both thoroughly agree we just wouldn’t come back in light of much better options in the area with better customer service and much much much better talent.
Rob Kinzel is the MASTER of art! I literally can’t find words to express how happy I am with my amazing tattoo Rob did for me. He’s extremely professional, patient, and simply THE BEST! I’m very grateful! He’s definitely someone I’d 100% trust with something that will be with me for the rest of my life. And, guess what? With what Rob did, I want to live longer so that I can enjoy admiring this piece of art more and more! Thank you, Rob!
Very clean. Very professional. Loved Lauren for piercing. She was so nice And did a great job. Highly recommend her and this place. Cant wait to go back to get a tattoo.
The post on one of the earrings I brought in with me turned out to be too short after the swelling of piercing, so when I came back the piercer gave me a free place-holder set of earrings and swapped out the original left earring for the one with the longer post. Thats quality customer service!
Mike was the piercer I saw. He was awesome, very friendly and easy to talk to
Excellent service! The staff here makes everything very comfortable and friendly. The piercer Burke was so helpful and made my experience very easy. The apprentice also was so kind.I would recommend this shop to anyone! I have gotten a tattoo and piercings done from here.They are also VERY clean and detail oriented here.
I had a memorial tattoo created by Anna Usenko and I wanted some key elements in it to symbolize my dad and the loss of him.What she created brought my vision to life and I love it so much. She was friendly, precise and she is extremely talented. I chose her after searching for artists on IG and getting a recommendation for someone else at Body Gallery, but I fell in love with Annas work and her attention to detail, lines, and shading. Her line and shading is so delicate! I love it!The Body Gallery itself is clean, professional and everyone there is friendly and welcoming.Anna was worth every penny I spent and I plan to go back to her with other ideas Id like to do. 10/10 recommend.
I went into today and was assisted by Michael Burke. He was by far the most friendly piercer/ tattoo artist. I was greeted at the front by a friendly woman. When you go to get something pierced or tattooed, you want to be as comfortable as possible and you expect the person to be comforting and walk you through everything in detail. Michael was awesome! I have been to many other shops and I can say I had scary experiences, if you are getting tattooed/pierced for the first time or are a little scared, 100% I recommend coming here. Prices are fair and their offered services are helpful, and the environment is as friendly as it gets!
Clean place, always welcoming, and an amazing customer service! Anna is an amazing artist! Very detailed oriented and extremely creative!
Unprofessional is an understatement. Walked-in for a tattoo. When asking about the price two men in there gave what seemed to be a high quote based off past experience. The gentleman said “well if you don’t like it find someplace cheaper and call me when you need it fixed”, and walked off. To say it was rude and unprofessional is an understatement. They will NEVER get my business or money. 0 stars
Had such a great experience with Lauren! I’m a huge baby about needles and she tolerated and comforted me the whole time. Would definitely return for piercings here!
Great place, and the staff there are so friendly. Mike is great. I got 2 piercings from him. Hes so friendly and does a great job. Thanks!!!
Love their new location! Wonderful people and they do great work! Looking forward to getting my next tattoo!
I got my nose pierced by Mike and he was SO thorough and fast. Made me feel really comfortable and walked me through exactly what was going on. Awesome experience, I would recommend Body Gallery for any type of piercing, super happy with it!
Fantastic service. Very clean office, walk ins for piercings! Will definitely return!
Amazing work, awesome price and seriously the best staff! I will definitely be back and I will be sending family and friends your way!! Thanks for a great experience!
I got my daith pierced here and had some issues with it four days later. I found out it was incorrectly placed by another reputable professional. My friends get pierced here and like it, but the daith is a difficult cartilage piercing and it was just not done correctly. It was shallow and kicked at the bottom. I will be taking it out and going elsewhere.
Just had my daughters ears pierced today. The shop is so cute and clean and the ladies that pierced her ears were so amazingly sweet! I highly recommend this place. May even be back soon from some new ink for myself!
Yesterday I had my nose pierced by Lauren, I was in and out so quickly it was awesome. I had my nose pierced a couple years ago and by far this experience was much better and I paid a much better price than the last place I had it done. Will definitely come back here for my next piercings.
They are so unprofessional on the phone. Called to ask about prices for piercing and they were so rude on the phone and refused to get me information on the cost of a nose piercing AFTER I told the person on the phone that they came highly recommended by a friend who just recently (within the last month) had her nose pierced. Obviously customer service is not their Number 1 priority....Good Luck folks!
Sister and I went in to get piercings and Mike was so professional and answered all our questions. The room was clean and organized, he let us check the marks and made sure we were comfortable before starting. Checked on us before we stood up, just made it supper easy and very affordable!Will be going here for now on!
Super clean. Felt very comfortable and was treated with respect by everyone. I just got my nostril pierced, but I would love to come back for tattoos!
My aunt and I got piercings and a tat done in about 5 minutes. Great place but a little pricey. They don’t wear masks here so come prepared with yours.
Nightmare tattoo experience.I came to the Body gallery wanting a geometric pattern done on my left back shoulder because I really liked the artwork I saw from Nina in the Leesburg shop. Nina agreed to come up with an original design based on a few ideas and she suggested I do my whole back instead of just my shoulder. I trusted her vision and agreed to do my whole upper back.After a single, 7-hour session, I scheduled my next appointment and went home.Over the next few days I was trying to envision the direction Nina was going with the shading of the flower of life. I emailed her asking how this was going to ultimately look. Her response wasn’t clear but she agreed to shade in a small portion to help me visualize the final outcome. I appreciated this and also expected to pay for her time.I called back after thanksgiving, per Nina’s request, to schedule the small shading. I was completely caught off guard when Nina told me she wouldn’t do the shading because, “I was annoying her” and “not making this fun anymore.” I was very surprised, apologized and said that’d I’ll just wait until my next appointment to see how this will turn out.Ten minutes later I get a call from the owner’s husband, Mike, and he tells me that Nina doesn’t want to finish my tattoo. According to Mike, Nina was nervous that I wouldn’t like the outcome no matter what she did and decided to bail on the project.I was shocked. I couldn’t believe the artist I chose had led me down this path to get my entire back tattooed based on her own original concept, and then quit on me. The owners, Mike and Jenny, suggested I go to another shop entirely to get this finished. Their lack of help in finding any type of resolution to this underscores the type of customer service you should expect from this shop.I understand that I had some anxieties about the direction she was going, but I have always been polite, thoughtful and honest. On the aftercare directions that the Body Gallery provided me, the last sentence states: “if you have any questions, comments, complaints or praises, please feel free to call or email or come into the Body Gallery.” I followed their directions and now I’m left with an unfinished, original tattoo that has now become a huge cover up project.Note this picture was taken 7 days after the one and only session.
I got an ear piercing done here and I am so happy with it. I never had a problem and it was so well done. The man who gave me the piercing was so professional and helpful. From here on out, I will only be pierced here.
10 STAR Service from start to finish. I had both ears pierced my Mike @ the Leesburg location. Excellent service and it was a pleasure to meet and speak the other professionals in the office. Im going back soon!
Very nice and chill atmosphere, workers are rlly nice, and this is my go-to piercing place
If I could give them 0 stars, I would. I called prior to driving over 20 miles to get a piercing here. I asked if there were any availabilities for a piercing and the person on the phone (a female) told me as long as I came BEFORE 5:30, that would be fine. She DID NOT warn me that if there were walk-ins prior, I may not have a spot. She did not say it was first come, first serve. As I arrived after driving over 40 minutes, I was told there was no more availability for a piercing. If I was warned the following, I wouldve blamed myself for taking the risk. If you, however, tell me that as long as I arrive before 5:30 that it would be ok? For someone who drove over 40 minutes... I was FURIOUS! I will NEVER recommend anyone to this place as they obviously do not care about the time of anyone who is interested in a piercing!
The ladies who do the piercings are super nice and professional. They were very helpful for when I needed to have jewelry removed for surgery and they did not make me feel uncomfortable at all.
I had a bad nose piercing done.then I went to the shop looking for help me. The staff there was extremely friendly, professional and kind. They took out the nose ring for me and replaced it with a new one. I highly recommend this place.
I was there back in May and again this past weekend, for my fourth tattoo and a cover-up. Both times I was given excellent quality service. Lucy, the receptionist, is phenomenal and Jay, my artist both times, is just chill and fantastic. My first piece was a walk-in and it was handled very well. I made an appointment for my second and it went even better. The shop is clean and comfortable. I highly recommend these guys for anyone looking for first tattoos or new additions!
Ive tried a few different places but body gallery is by far the best. Ask for Anna!
Jay did my first tattoo from this location, I was a last minute walk in and was taken in very quickly. Jay took his time figuring out the font for my piece and made sure I really wanted to get it done before he started. The girl at the front desk (I forgot her name) was really sweet and knowledgeable about everything I heard her speak about as well.
I just got the best tattoo ever from Matt! It was a birthday present and Im so happy I did it! Thanks @baxtros
I came in on Sunday and got 2 piercings with Michael and he was awesome, he was really kind and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I definitely recommend this place and will come here for future piercings.
Jason is amazing. Every artist here is worth a visit.
The body gallery is the fifth tattoo parlor Ive patronized, and is the best among them.The staff is friendly and personable, and I watched them get along with old school bikers just as easily as teenagers looking for ear piercings.The shop is clean, and the tattoo and piercing areas even more so- something anyone looking for a shop should appreciate.But, most importantly, the artistic talent of the artists is excellent. I found the shop by looking at finished tattoos online, and the artists at this shop consistently deliver beautiful works of art.
I went in at the end of a really stressful day, to finally get the septum piercing that I had been dreaming of. Michael was incredibly accommodating, kind, thoughtful and skilled. Im glad that I waited so long, because I knew immediately that I was in good hands. Clean shop, protocol followed to a t, and great conversation to boot. Would definitely return. Front desk staff was kind and informative as well. Go here for great work and zero pretense. Thanks, guys!!
Beautiful first tattoo!
Second floor, no elevator.Staff were very kind and helpful.
Great experience!
Great place and excellent work. If you can think it, they can put it in you.
I got a cartilage/helix piercing from here and i had such a great experience! The workers are so kind and make you feel incredibly comfortable. The place is clean and also has a really cool vibe. The piercing was done in a little separate section away from the tattoo chairs, and everything was sterile & in bags. Anthony did a great job and explained the procedure every step of the way. I started with a ring, which was surprising because I expected a bar, but I am very happy with every aspect of it. The only difference really is that the ring can be harder to clean than a bar, but it looks so much cuter so it’s worth it :)I highly reccommend this place and if i get more piercings, I will be coming back.
Got my little heart tattoo on my ankle and Im super happy with it! My tattoo artist (it was a woman) was super friendly and helpful! She made me feel comfortable and wanted it to be perfect for me. I was a walk in customer and only had to wait 5 minutes. Store looked super clean and professional!
Highly recommend Rob for tattoos. Super friendly guy unlike a lot of other artists out there. Does great work and genuinely cares to do so.
AMAZING customer service!!!! Thank you to Lauren!!!
I came here to get my nose piercing fixed and he did a great job. He was in the middle of tattooing but took time to help me real fast. It was not too expensive and well worth the price. I would highly recommend going here for piercings.
Im a big fan of The Body Gallery in Sterling so I figured the Leesburg location would give the same great service. My father took my sister here to get her conch pierced and had a less than adequate experience.Here is their account: Not only did the piercer, Michael, NOT WEAR GLOVES while he did her piercing but also pierced it incorrectly. Luckily the piercer at the Sterling location, Jesse, offered to take a look at it and decided he would repierce it at a discounted rate due to the shoddy work done by Michael.If youre looking to get a piercing, youd be better off at the Sterling location.
Came in here just to simply buy an earring for my cartilage (already pierced) and the person on duty acted completely oblivious and apathetic towards my request. Immediately proposed I visit the Sterling location because their piercer is out of town. (I didn’t need a piercer, just jewelry) He pointed with his finger where I should look in the store instead of physically showing me. Said he doesn’t know where they keep the packaged jewelry and doesn’t “touch the stuff.” I understand this is primarily a tattoo shop, but that didn’t make the encounter any less ridiculous. What a joke.
Got my septum pierced here. It was quick and easy. Love the way it turned out.
Excellent service, great prices, and a variety of skilled artists. Enough said.
Got an upper thigh tattoo done here by Anthony. The shop is very friendly and professional. The consultation was quick and Anthony kept in contact with me via email about ideas, styles, etc. My tattoo turned out amazing and I’ve received tons of compliments for the detailed work. Definitely coming back for my next one :)
They wouldnt make an appointment with me. They kept saying come in on the weekend, then every weekend when I went in theyd say they were booked. They are great artists but their service? Not so much. Especially not for first timers.
Got my ear pierced. It was right after work and I didnt need an appointment to get it done. There was hardly any wait which was nice. Tattoos you need an appointment, piercings you dont (at least ears and cartilage piercings you dont).
Cool
I always go to Jay!! Great group, great skills!
Just got my industrial piercing done by Michael. Very friendly open professional environment and he made the experience so smooth and easy definitely recommend this shop
Best tattoo experience ever.
Professional staff and clean shop, great artists and good vibes.Michael is an experienced and knowledgable piercer.Being open 7 days a week earns them 6 stars.
I got my nipples pierced by anthony and it was a great experience. Everyone there was very friendly and everything was clean and sterile. I highly recommend getting your piercings done here.
Very talented artists here, got my first tattoo from Cory. Cool atmosphere but could work on customer service, felt very rushed and arent the easiest tattoo company to work with.
Super friendly and helpful.
AFTER READING PREVIOUS REVIEWS, MY HUSBAND AND I WENT HERE TO GET MATCHING TATTOOS FOR MY BIRTHDAY. UPON WALKING IN, WE WERE GREETED BY ONE OF THE ARTISTS BUT IN A WAY THAT WAS LESS THAN ENTHUSIASTIC. THE MUSIC WAS SO LOUD YOU HAD TO YELL TO BE HEARD. I FELT LIKE WE WERE BOTHERING THEM. THE DIDNT SEEM INTERESTED IN HELPING US SO WE LEFT. WE WONT GO BACK.
Nina is a delight to work with. An amazing artist, you won’t be disappointed.
Got my navel pierced by Anthony, who was wonderful! It was quick, easy, and a great experience! The shop was super clean!
I have received tattoos from Cory and Matt, both at supper awesome artists. Thanks
I got my upper lip pierced by Anthony, pain free baby, great shop nice people an very clean. I highly recommend this shop for piercing👍🏾
Erika is bad ass. Great free hand. Absolutely satisfied!!
Comfortable.
I was so impressed with the professionalism, that Ive since returned for my second piece. I can not tell you how happy I am with the tattoos Ive gotten from here.
I’ve gotten two of my tattoos done here and the people who work there are so sweet and super friendly! Totally worth going here.
