Body Designs

I had a nostril piercing done at Body Designs a few weeks ago. My consultation was handled by Tara, my piercing was done by Mike (the owner).  I'm an almost 45 year old mom of six, so this is not a "cool kid" review but a " worry about cleanliness, nervous about atmosphere, will they laugh me out of here, and please, God, don't let my nose fall off" review.

The shop is attractive, neat, well lit and organized.  I visited the shop and consulted with Tara. She was very knowledgeable and informative. She brought up points about placement that had not been mentioned to me at consults at other shops.  I also discussed my concerns about metal sensitivities and she was attentive to my issues.
At no time did I feel hurried or pressured to do the piercing that day.  I left on a positive note and went home to think some more.

I returned the next day, was greeted by Tara in a friendly fashion and proceeded to go forward with the piercing.  It was done by Mike, who shared with me that he had (I hope I get this right) over 30 year experience in piercing.  The room we were in was private, attractive and also very clean.  Mike was very reassuring as I was a bit nervous and the piercing went very smoothly. He walked me out the front desk, supplied me with thorough aftercare instructions, we chatted a bit and I was on my way, feeling 10 years younger :)

I've had no problems with the piercing and hope to go back and do something else soon.  The fact that I was far from their most lucrative client and was treated so well speaks volumes for this shop.  I'm so glad I brought my business there.

I'd really like to give Body Designs 10 stars, but of course, that's impossible here.  Clean, friendly, professional and superior to any tattoo shop I've ever been to.  Tara and Mike are absolutely incredible artists.  I've been going here for about 4 years now, and have brought so many of my friends here to experience Tara's incredible work!  I actually drive out from Brooklyn just to have her ink me; I wouldn't trust anyone else.  MUST MUST MUST GO!
