It is known for its no-nonsense approach, offering real deal tattoos without any fuss or fluff. Customers praise the shop's reputation and the expertise of its artists. One visitor, who arrived as a walk-in, was able to get exactly what they wanted from Jesse, known for his American Traditional style and cleanliness. They appreciated how Jesse quickly agreed on the design and worked efficiently, finishing the tattoo within 10-15 minutes, and mentioned the friendly staff and good prices. Another guest, who came during Friday the 13th, got a small Jack Skellington tattoo in just 15 minutes, highlighting the shop's quick service and friendly environment. They also enjoyed the shop dog, describing him as an adorable and good boy. A parent took their daughter for her first tattoo and was impressed by the great customer service and the quick work of guest artist Barnaby from Oakland, who kept her engaged in conversation. They plan to return for a larger piece. Additionally, the shop offers touch-ups if needed, and customers are encouraged to show appreciation to their artists. Overall, Body Graphics Tattoo remains a pillar in Reno’s community, offering a high-quality, authentic tattoo experience with talented artists and a storied history.

Enjoyed my experience at Body Graphics Tattoo. Jesse was very open about my options for a couple tattoos that I had little direction for. He was very quick and the tattoos look great. Good conversations with he and Duane as well. Highly recommended.
My husband and I got same day tattoos. They were clean, friendly, affordable and quick. The guy who did it (cant remember his name but had red hair) was amazing. Its been 15+ yrs since my first one, and he made the experience awesome! Will definitely recommend and go back the next time im in Reno!!
Been here three separate times and have seen both Myrtle and Duane, they are the best in town hands down. They are very patient and cater their customers to their specific needs. Highly recommended this place as it is the only shop I go to!
