Body Graphics Inc Portside Parlor

I went here for my first tattoo.  I did a lot of research on where to go and how to prepare for a tattoo.  Carla did not disappoint.  She was very patient with me as we discussed details about the tattoo and she was honest about why the font I had chosen wouldn't work well in the long term for a tattoo.  I really appreciated that she wanted to give me the best tattoo that would look great indefinitely as opposed to just doing whatever I asked when it might not have had stellar results.  
Carla was also helpful in assuaging my nervousness and explaining the process.  Everything was clean, the tools were new or sterilized, and I felt at ease during the process.  I would absolutely go back to Carla again and highly recommend her work.  Afterwards, she showed me some of her other work as we talked about aftercare.  VERY IMPRESSIVE.  I'm already planning my next tattoo with Carla.

Review 100. I've been waiting and waiting till just the right time to drop it and I think this is as good a time as any.

Last May I went in to talk to Carla at Body Graphics regarding a tattoo I wanted that would roll from my should onto my chest. She explained to me that the chest is prime real estate and that I should really think about what I get there. I ended up waiting and Carla fixed up some old work I had done.

Fast forward seven months. My father passed away and I knew I wanted to memorialize him in ink, and I was so grateful I had never gotten anything on my chest. I brought Carla a phrase I wanted in Hebrew. She priced it out, scheduled it and two week later I was on her table. It turned out better than I could have imagined. Its been 9 days and it's already healed and looks incredible. Carla is such a talented artist, I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to work on such an important piece for me.

I'd like to be able to review their tattooing skills, but this place was such a hassle and the artists were so rude I didn't wind up getting my tattoo with them despite multiple visits. They didn't take what I wanted to do for my design seriously, even though it was a simple design. Every time I went to speak with them, they gave me the go around and were super snooty or kept raising the price even though my design had not changed.
