Jen made me feel so comfortable when I walked in to get a cartilage piercing. She’s super friendly and personable. She walked me through how to properly clean my new piercing and explained the different types of earrings I can replace it with once it’s healed. She also helped take out one of my old piercings since I couldn’t take it off (not done by her). I’d recommend coming here for all your piercings!

I did a walk in tonight and Jen was absolutely amazing!! She is such a sweetheart. I got my belly button, rook, and 2 helix piercings tonight. She was so quick and efficient, and a joy to talk with! I cant wait to come back to get more piercings from her! Please go see her, you will be so pleased with her. Thank you again Jen!

Me and my daughter went to get our nose pierced and she was very professional and made you feel very comfortable . If anyone wants a piercing I definitely recommend her .

Came in to get my minor daughters nose pierced. You have to get a form notarized which is not a big deal. Jen did the piercing and was clean, professional and patient. Super happy.

I really like going there because Jen is the best piercing person I ever met. She really care about her clients. I recommend her to anybody

Highly recommend Jen for your piercing needs. She was very nice and comforting to my daughter. She took the time to explain everything she was doing and how to take care of the piercing after. Will def use again.

Great people, have had tattoo and piercing in family done here. Highly recommend

Love this place, always happy when I leave here. Sergio is amazing, he always takes good care of me.

Clean, comfortable and the staff is so friendly! Sergio is my tattoo artist, his work is phenomenal. Huge selection of piercings available. Owner is super nice and always gives us a warm welcome. Stay golden guys !!

Jen is awesome! Changed my daughters nose ring for a few dollars and is an awesome conversationalist.

The staff is great and the place is clean and sterile. Jen the piercer is awesome and super knowledgeable. My work is healing wonderfully.

Took my daughter for ear piercing. Over satisfied and enjoy the the visit.

Jaeke was amazing! He did myself and my friends tattoos and I will come back to him every time!!! He is the artist to see!!! Very detailed and professional!!@jaekes_art Instagram

Very happy with what I had done!

Nice place friend went for piercings and loved it owner was cool and old-school Italian vibe

My 7yr old got her ears pierced and she loves them.. Jen did an amazing job talking her through every step.. We will be back..

Definitely recommend others for piercings and tattoos, prices are fair and work is good. Plus the girl that does the piercings is beautiful.

After going through a traumatic experience with a different piercing shop I decided to try this one.I had taken out my nose piercing that I got from the previous shop I went to and let it close since it was not healing and was crooked.I decided to get my nose pierced a second time but this time at this location.And let me tell you it was such a nice experience.So fast,so clean,so professional!I don’t know the young lady’s name that did mine but she made me feel at home! Thank you!

Placed a deposit, was on vacation. I get there they canceled me and my friend for under 10 min tattoos because they were booked even though we made an apt. lol never again

We walked in for a noise piercing and the staff was very friendly and informative. Only $25 also!!

I just went in for a nose piercing, the staff was friendly, i was in and out. It went surprisingly fast! I would definitely go back and use there services again. Thanks guys.

Jen is absolutely amazing!!! Definitely would suggest going to her for any piercing!

Went and got peircings with a friend. The lady was sweet and explained everything she was doing step by step.

Got my industrial pierced here a while back, I ended up having to take it out because it hit my glasses frames 24/7 and caused excruciating pain, even almsot a year after I got it pierced :/ my friend and I also got tattooos here and they were horrible. She got a moth and the two wings were not even the same shape. I got a cat and half of it was too thick of lines and the other half were too thin, had to have it done last week and it’s healing now. She wants her covered up because of how asymmetric the moth is. Piercings from here are alright but don’t get tattoos here. Any where that has walk in probably is sketchy

Jenn was very nice and professional. Amazing experience for my first piercings.

The staff was very nice and professional. Excellent work

Cody is an amazing artist and the whole experience was pleasant from start to finish. Setting up the appointment was a breeze. While getting tattoo he was extremely pleasant and professional. Also quite funny! The shop is very laid back which makes it that much more comfortable. His prices are very reasonable and his work is amazing! I will definitely be coming back.

Love my new tat and very happy with the whole experience.

He did an excellent job and Im coming back to see him again

Wonderful customer service and my nose piercing was done with care and professionalism! Will definitely recommend and may even be back for future piercings!

Absolutely amazing. Ive gotten a few piercings done here and each time love the results.

I absolutely love this place Ive gotten all my piercings from them none of my piercings have ever got infected Ive got my labret, my monroe, tongue belly button and nose as well as two hip dermals and each time I came in they are cheap but they know what theyre doing I recommend this place to anybody

Manny is the absolute best and only artist I use for all my work! He recently just did my neck tatt and chest piece and I would not have trusted anyone except him to touch my neck.He makes you absolutely comfortable,easy to talk to and make great conversation,clean,all work he’s done on me is my fave!!!! He’s the best around and will put your ideas into a beautiful work of art !!!!!

Love everyone there they treat you with respect kindness professionality and the piercings and tattoo that I got or wonderful

Love this place will be going back for all my needs

Jen the piercer is a wonderful lady. Full of knowledge and compassion. A pleasure to b there.

Manny is the best artist out there gotten over 16 tatts from him so far and the piercer the bomb made my daughter feel so comfortable. Amazing place

Nice shop

DO NOT GO THERE! My tattoo looks like absolute TRASH looks nothing like what I asked for.It looks like a 5 year old took a pen and drew on my wrist. The petals on my flowers look terrible, not aligned, and sloppy. I DO NOT RECOMMEND! I can’t wait to get this thing covered up.

Excellent place, owner is friendly and tattoo artist Emanuel is a great person to trust with your tattoos.

I had previously gotten a tattoo somewhere else and was extremely disappointed. So out of curiosity I went in body effects, and consulted with manny. From his professional opinion and recommendation I knew I wanted to work with him getting my tattoo corrected. Shortly thereafter, I came in for two different sessions and manny Did excellent work, I got exactly what I wanted. I will only have manny do all my tattooing moving forward!

Totally in love with my tattoo I got tonight at Body Effects, love going there because everyone treats you like family. Manny did an amazing job on my tattoo and I couldn’t be happier with it.

Very friendly and nice people. Got a tongue piercing and a tattoo done. Love them both!

Was there today with my daughter to have her nose pierced and everyone was friendly and professional. The body piercer explained everything through the process and my daughter, who is normally terrified of needles, did not even flinch. I’ve been here a few times and it is always very clean and their $25 piercing is a great deal. She is thrilled with it! Thank you!

Amazing place. Chrissy was friendly and experienced, worked quickly and efficiently. Excellent prices and I love my piercing. Would be happy to come back.

Great place, clean,great service, great place to get a quick tattoo

Tony is amazing artist very detailed . Good clean work, lines and shading . I’ll recommend Tony to all my friends .

Amazing service and very efficient and professional

Awesome tattoo artist name is James.

Shout out to Mikey for the amazing work I highly recommend him hes very nice, very knowledgeable, and has a great style. Thank you so much for today cant wait to get it finished in 2 weeks. Everyone GO SEE MIKEY !!!

Was on vacation and thought why not get some new ink. Mike did my tattoo and did a great job!! Thanks for being so professional and friendly! Even though in waited a bit they got me in the day I called. I definitely would recommend Body Effects!

I’ve gotten 4 piercings there in the past. My husband and I stopped in on Christmas Eve for matching tattoos. They fit us right in. We were done very quickly. The staff was friendly. The artist was great! We love our tattoos & they cost us half of what another local shop was quoting us!

Wonderful job on my piercing!

Girlfriend got a nice Monroe piercing done. Super fast and wasnt painful.

The BEST tattoo and piercing shops in all of manatee county. Always very clean, incredibly talented, patient, and professional but fun. The owner is awesome. I always recommend everyone whos looking to go there. My husband, myself, and my adult children have all been going to get tattoos and piercings from them for years. A++ 💯

My boyfriend and I came here to get our nose pierced. We were in and out what seemed liked ten minutes. She opened everything up in front of us and everything was clean and sanitized. The piercing itself didn’t hurt at all. So far it’s healing very wonderfully. Will be coming back here for future work.

Took my daughter to get her nose pierced. The lady who did the piercing was very patient and knowledgeable. She did it quick and easy and my daughter said there was a little sting and that was all. I would definitely recommend this place for all piercings!

On my recent trip to Florida, I decided to get my first tattoos on 1/29. I asked my niece who she’d suggest for a first timer to go. She said Body Effects & when I mentioned Rich, she highly recommended both as a top quality & great artist. Rich did everything to put me at ease with not only the two designs but with the whole process. Most comforting was not only the humor but also the care in which he gave inquiring on how I was doing during it all. I absolutely love both my first tattoos & couldn’t be happier with how they came out. I also had some additional entertainment while I was there... lol...Thank you Rich, Mike & everyone there who made this such a wonderful experience for a first timer. ❤️

Me and brother looked for a place after driving an 1 1/2 and finally found this place and boy they were friendly and fast I was very impressed I got my nose pierced and tattoo. I will be going back

Great quality work, excellent personalities!

Wonderful experience

Was very pleased with my experience with Chrissy. Very professional and good table side manner. Will be back for more sevices!Thanks again!

Pretty people great place

Getting my first tattoo Sunday. Veasy to schedule. Very talented

Great people. Very friendly. Place is clean. Prices are very reasonable

I was there yesterday and got my fifth tattoo. They were fun and I had a great laugh. What really made the service there was I was feeling faint and so they gave me some air to breath and a very nice gentleman gave me his sugary drink. That helped me instantly. I was very grateful, I would recommend these guys to anyone and everyone.

I went to Body Effects Tattoo last week for my first tattoo and I couldnt have asked for a more perfect experience. The staff was especially friendly and professional, the environment was very clean, and the tattoo was flawless. When I arrived there, I described the type of tattoo I wanted and was immediately shown different types of font I could choose from. After I made my decision, the tattoo artist Nate, made a stencil and asked me if it was acceptable. I was explained everything about the process and their reassurance eased my apprehension. I was expecting it to be quite painful, but Nate was very quick and efficient, I hardly felt a thing and it was completed in no time at all. After it was done, he explained to me how to clean and care for it, and what things to avoid in order for it not to fade. It has been over a week now and the tattoo is still beautiful, and as dark as it was when I left. Im already thinking of adding to it and no doubt I will go back to them again. I highly recommend Body Effects Tattoo if you are in the market for some permanent body ink!!! This review only allows me to rate them as high as a 5, but I would give them a perfect 10!

I stopped in this establishment last week and purchased two sets of body piercings for a girlfriend of mine, one of them were defective right off the bat we never even got it to go in I am going to try and return them tomorrow if they in fact treat me well at that time I will keep them at three stars thank you by the bodyeffects in advance.

Great work great price

My mom got a daith piercing there. Derek did her first one and did a great job. She returned about 2 weeks ago to get the other ear done and Derek is gone. Chrissy did the piercing. She was complaining to her trainee while doing the piercing about people judging her for having tattoos the whole time. She must have been distracted and not sanitized the equipment properly because 4 days​ later my mom had a to go to urgent care with an incredibly swollen and infected ear. She had 10 days of antibiotics and couldnt even sleep on that side of her head due to the pain and swelling. Now today my mom texts me that she has the flu. I get her to go to the doctor again. Its not the flu, its the infection from the piercing! She has to see an infectious disease specialist today for possible IV antibiotics!She is too nice to raise hell about this, but Im not!!! This place needs to fire Chrissy before we sue!!

Awesome job and great prices!

I got a piercing at body effects. I have got other piercings from other places and I’ve never had a problem. But my ear got infected and I took care of it and washed it like all my other piercings. Place was dirty and the person that did my piercing smelled like a cigarette. I would recommend doing your piercing yourself if you wanna get it done before going to this place.

Best customer service. Imma be back to get a tattoo nxt time .

(2/7/18 Update: I came in after speaking to an artist named Sukoshi sills over the phone, to see if he could fix an ancient tattoo. Thankfully he fixed it and made it look better then what it originally looked like! He is a very level headed, warm soul. I recommend anyone to body effects)(Original post) sporadically come here throughout the last 15 years for several piercings. I usually stop in once or twice a year to buy new lip studs. The man behind the front desk was really nice, and took the time to explain a couple questions I had about tattoos and different lip and navel rings. I recommend this place to anyone that wants a piercing.

Clean place and friendly staff

My daughter got her nose pierced and I was impressed with how clean and pleasant everyone was.

If you want a great tattoo or a body piercing this is the on place in Bradenton to go.

Great place with friendly staff!! Got a cartilage perircing, it was quick and painless. Will be coming back for another once this one heals!

Mikey did an amazing tattoo job! And the young lady who did my nose piercing was awesome!

Awesome girl that does piercing

Dave was awesome. He did such an amazing job on my tattoo. He was very professional when it came to sizing how to take care of it and just was a great artist.highly recommended shop and especially Dave.

They did an AMAZING cover up for me that I never thought could be covered. See Drew Chapman.... A truly awesome artist.

Quick and very nice employees

It was clean but all they did was take me back pierce my bellybutton and I left I was givin no instructions on how to take care of my piercing or anything of that matter in my opinion I should of went to classic ink there perfect they did a perfect job with my other piercing I love my experience there and another sketch thing about this place is they made me pay before I got my piercing thats not normal

Great experience, well trained staff

My good friend owns it, and he takes great pride in his establishment!

Staff was courteous and quick and very skilled.I went in to get my belly button pierced and I was done with the whole process within 15 mins .The shop is very clean and well kept but small enough to make you feel comfortable
