About Body Graphics Tattoo

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.

    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!

    Reno's Oldest Tattoo Shop- A pillar in the community & a part of Reno's history! Old skool street shop vibes w high-quality trad flash all over the walls; from Picture Machine/history & generational influence & lineage apparent to the sick posters/signs & paint throughout. If you're looking for those bright white/ iPad lab type beats- this ain't it. No nonsense or kiss-ass codling but for sure, the real deal. For me, perfect type shop. Super stoked I was able to get some great new artwork, after having them give life to some older ones I had. Touch ups offered, if needed, once healed. Really easy to work w. Recolored my swallows & Horus I had about 20years. Got some new, inc: Hot Stuff on the phone/ & Fritz the cat/Tiger mashup) artist: TigerRob Frkn sick!!!! Don't forget to tip your artist, & show appreciation; respect is matched.
