Canda was my artist today but from walking in to the shop to walking out the whole process was quick, efficient and a positive experience.

Had a wonderful experience at Envy Skin Gallery for their 20th anniversary! Me and mine went in for my first and his 10th most being done of them being done them. Jamie was great very chatty made us feel comfortable and welcome. Met the whole gang had snacks and a great time right in and to it. Thanks for the great memories and wonderful doxie that looks and feels amazing. - Angie.

My son got his very first tattoo today for his 18th birthday, and we had such a great experience at Envy Skin Gallery! Chuck did his tattoo and absolutely nailed it. He took the time to make sure the design and placement were exactly what my son wanted, and the compass turned out amazing — clean, detailed, and even better than we pictured. Chuck made the whole experience comfortable and easy, which was especially appreciated for a first tattoo. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Definitely recommend Chuck and Envy Skin Gallery. - Sarah.

BODYSTAIN TATTOO & BODY PIERCING STUDIO REVIEWS

I always go to Bodystain, specifically to the owner Carmelo, but all of the artists do a phenomenal job. Always professional, friendly, and they all make you feel very comfortable there. They’re usually booked up far out, but there’s a reason, they are the best artists in town, they’re worth the wait. I recommend them to everyone that asks about my tattoos, which I get a lot because they’re done so well!

I have been going to this shop for over 25 years and I have never left disappointed. Mello and all his crew are AWESOME. I have recommended this shop to several people and they also were very satisfied. THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK. YOU ARE APPRECIATED.

I first went there to get my nose done again and ended up setting up an appointment with big jack... I've had a lot of tat artist and Big Jack is right on the top.... did my cover up in 2024 and still look good today
