Incredibly clean and accommodating tattoo parlor. I was a walk-in and they helped me really quickly, getting me set up and touching up my art. The tattoo looks great and they were really good with aftercare. Would definitely recommend!

I am very hard on reviews. For me to post a review, the company has either terrible service or oustanding service. The ones in the middle, I feel have done nothing in my eyes to rate a review and should try harder.
Which brings me to Body Electric tatto and piercing. I have been in several tattoo/piercing shops and found some that have caused me concern. I look at how the artist keeps their workstation cleaned and especially their supplies. At Body Electric, I found the suplies to be meticulously organized. This rates high for me, and tells me they have pride in their workspace. This pride relates to a clean environment. If the ink bottles are all facing forward or the neddles are facing the same way, this says a lot.
This takes me to the owner of the shop, Brian Kieth Thompson. I brought my wife there for her third piercing. Needless to say she was extremely nervous. Mr. Thompson was extremely professional at all times. He took pride in talking about all the options. This wasnt a production mill type of place..The amosphere was relaxing and the decor added to the artist style. But most of all was the personal attention Mr. Thompson provided to relax my wife for her piercings.
He followed up with strict instructions for aftercare and made her repeat them back to her. I identifed this type of instruction with the same you recieve in the military..tell them what to do, explain how to do it, then have them repeat it back so there is no confusion...so I wasnt suprised when he said he had served in the military. This also said a lot to me.
To provide an extremely sterile, well organized and relaxed atmospere added to the whole experience that will make us a client for life. If you have an oportunity to see the shop do so, and you will come to the same evaluation.

My boyfriend came was initially unsure about whether he would go-through with the tattoo, but the tattoo artist did a great job with the design, and my boyfriend was pleased with the tattoo afterwards. The staff did seem a little hurried at times for no apparent reason, albeit my boyfriend was indecisive and we entered the store somewhat near closing. I enjoyed being able to kick-back on the comfortable couches and look over the tattoo designs while I waited, but I was a disappointed that I wasn't allowed to be next to my boyfriend while he was getting the needle in him in order to support him. Maybe that's not a policy unique to this store? Look for the PlayBoy magazines in the men's restrooms. I laughed out loud.

I called to ask if they were open for piercings and got extreme attitude from the girl/receptionist who picked up saying “No this is a pandemic!”
Lost my business. A simple “sorry not at the moment due to the Covid ordinance” would have sufficed. Thank you for educating in me that we’re in a pandemic, I hadn’t noticed.

When I was younger I got two piercings here. It was close and everyone was nice and helpful

Got my conch done here. Dom was amazing and everything was clean and sanitary. The piercing itself was quick and pretty painless; planning on coming back here to get my third lobes, forward helix, and my mid cartilage!

Great tattoo artists, especially Mike for variety of styles. It's pretty pricey to get a tattoo there. Be prepared to pay $200 per hour. Appointments is a must since it's always busy.

During my visit to Los Angeles, I decided to commemorate my time spent with a tattoo that I had been planning for quite some time. Believe it or not, I found out about this place through numerous Buzzfeed videos that had indirectly publicized the tattoo parlor. I though to myself "if it's good enough for Buzzfeed, it's good enough for me!" And my artist, Daniel, did not disappoint. Not only was he super knowledgeable and friendly, he did an absolutely AMAZING job on my tattoo. The next time I am in Los Angeles (and planning to get some ink work done), it will be with Body Electric!

So far, I've had three piercings with Brian and about to go in for more. Clean shop. Excellent service and quality. Bonus, Brian is super cool. Recommended.
