Tibo is great! He did this perfect and has a really nice light touch. Definitely will be back for the next one.... or 6 😜

This is the Mecca of Tattoo and Piercing.Brian Keith Thompson is a legend in Los Angeles and in United States. His precision is incomparable.

One of the best shops I ever went to, had a lot done there. I ever make it back to that coast, I shall return.

Brian is such a professional, genuine and kind person. You know those people you meet and you know they’re good people just from meeting them that one time? That is Brian. He made me feel like we had known each other for years. His tattoo shop was super cool, unique, clean and just had such a bad a** vibe to it. I felt extremely safe and welcomed. It’s only been 2 days but I have been recommending him to everyone who asks about my piercings!! I love my piercings so much and even though I hate needles, Brian made it a breeze :) thanks again for such a lovely and one of a kind experience!

I am extremely happy with my experience. They fit me in last minute and were very helpful to make the scheduling work. The space was exceptionally clean and sanitary. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a piercing.

Definitely the cleanest, most professional and happening parlor ever. Always busy so make an appointment first. Take their recommendations, too.

This place is different then any other tattoo / piercing salon out there. You feel the artists eye the moment you walk in, the space is magical and has such a special vibe. I was lucky enough to have had Brian Keith Thompson do a constellation piercing on me and let him choose how to design my ear... let me say I AM SO GLAD I DID. He was incredible, he has such a precision and customization. He got to know me and my style and he truly created something better then I could ever imagine. This space and the talent is worth every penny and truly elevates your look in such a custom unique way. I won’t go anywhere else for piercings ever. Thanks so much Brian 🙏🏻

A legendary tattoo and piercing experience in the heart of LA. When you step into Body Electric, you know this place is gonna be good. Very clean and professional and really a magical spot looking down on Melrose.. Love this place and would highly recommend.

Walked in and got two tattoos here. My best experience at the tattoo shop so far. (I had two tattoos already.) Excellent work. Mike, you rock!

I called to ask if they were open for piercings and got extreme attitude from the girl/receptionist who picked up saying “No this is a pandemic!”Lost my business. A simple “sorry not at the moment due to the Covid ordinance” would have sufficed. Thank you for educating in me that we’re in a pandemic, I hadn’t noticed.

Couldnt set my appoinment due to COVID standards, but I do appreciate the prompt and professional email response from Brian. So for that, I will give my 5 star review.

This shop had great customer service and the tattoo artist I worked with was talented, kind, and quick. I was able to bring a design of my own and the pricing was affordable. The atmosphere inside is pleasant as well.

Came here on a whim and was not disappointed! I had seen this place come across my path a couple of times, but decided to get another identical piercing to one I already had today. Dom did a kickass job at helping me decide the placement and was a pro when it came time to face the needle. No scummy sales people trying to force things on you. Not sketchy or shady like places I’ve been to in the past. Great atmosphere! Highly recommend this shop, and I’ll definitely be back for a tattoo!

Been wanting to make a trip out to this place for awhile and Im really glad that I finally got the chance.One of the artist Ive wanted to get tattoed by for some time. Crazy talented and legit one of the nicest dudes youll ever meet. I traveled from northern california for this and he absolutely killed the piece he did for me.If youre into tattoo culture, you have to visit this place at least once. Its been home to some of the greatest artists of all time over the years and played a significant role in the so cal tattoo scene. But even if this is your first tattoo, this is the type of shop you want to go to. Professional, friendly and no egos.Honestly, you can feel the history when you walk into this place and as soon as you start scanning the room, admiring the ridiculous amount of original flash on the walls, youll quickly understand how special this place really is. And when youre sitting there getting quality work done, in the same room that the artist used to tattoo in, while listening to the guys swap stories of tattoo legends, youll forget about anything else going on for awhile and just take in the moment.

The shop is super clean and everyone is so nice. So happy with the service and prices at this shop. The artist was easy to talk to and explained the process thoroughly.

This shop is amazing, clean and professional. Dom is the diva to see! She is knowledgeable AND friendly! Dom explained each thing she was doing as we went along and made me feel comfortable during the entire Helix piercing experience! Dom knows what shes doing and my Helix piercing is healing wonderfully! I am going back and while Im sure the other artists are great, I will only see my DIVA DOM! :-)

Can’t imagine going somewhere else in LA after coming here. Jacob took an idea I’d been working on for 2 years and turned into a design that was better than anything I’d imagined, then proceeded to tattoo it perfectly. Was super supportive and gave clean lines that have aged well. Highly recommend both the studio and Jacob. Slightly pricey but you get what you pay for and then some.

Love this place! Very clean and staff is super friendly. They care about what you want and make sure you have quality work. They have continuous knowledge of what they do I have gotten both of my tattoos done here!

My tattoo still looks amazing. Ink has not faded. Details look almost as amazing as they did when the tattoo was first done. (Basically, it looks pretty much the same as when it was new.) I am SO HAPPY I went with this man for my first tattoo!

Seriously this place is the best. I have gone in 5 times, with no appointment, and walked out with 5 amazing custom pieces that I love. When it comes to permanently illustrating your life on your own canvas, these guys are the ones you want to go to. I wouldn’t be so happy if it weren’t for my friends at Body Electric Tattoo in West Hollywood!

Six stars. Im evangelical about this place. Was referred here by two people. I walked in, got paired with Martin, he studied what I wanted, did his thing, and hours later I have work thats even more beautiful than I could have imagined. Great vibe all around. I refer people here whenever I can.

Stopped by after a friend recommended the shop; I left the shop today extremely happy. Absolutely will be back for my next tattoo very soon.

Love the atmosphere! Bryan (the owner) was soooo welcoming and friendly. Then Ray (tattoo artist) did an amazing job on my tattoo. Definitely will be back!

I got a tattoo done here a few months ago! Ive never been happier and Martin does an incredible job! They have a really cool, and clean parlor! Martin made sure I was comfortable and asked if I needed a break or not. Overall Im really happy with my cherry blossom tattoo! I get so many compliments about my tattoo. I tell them exactly where to go if they want quality work like this!

I did my (under)lip-piercing in there.First what you see on the outside an A what means very good. Then you come inside.The people in there are so nice, humorous and totally cool. The piercer: very very cool dude. He calms you down and does his job really good (how he should).I recommend this studio everyone who want a tattoo or a piercing in LA, even if youre only on vacation.

I got my septum piercing here. Dom was so welcoming and friendly. I would definitely come back for more piercings.

Got my helix pierced by Brian yesterday and I gotta say, this was the best experience Ive had in any shop Ive been to! Brian is super knowledgeable and has a TON of experience so youre safe in his hands! Be sure to call ahead and get an appointment, it gets very busy sometimes. Also, their jewelry selection is top notch!

Incredibly clean and accommodating tattoo parlor. I was a walk-in and they helped me really quickly, getting me set up and touching up my art. The tattoo looks great and they were really good with aftercare. Would definitely recommend!

Body Electric Tattoo & Piercing is by far the best shop in LA...and possibly the world. The shop is safe, clean, and has a stylish environment. The employees are honest, patient, talented and entertaining. The owner, Brian Keith Thompson, is very professional and passionate about his Business, Artists, and Customers! He goes out of his way to make sure people feel satisfied with the service they have received, and if you are not happy, he will do his best to find a probable solution. I have received two tattoos (Joe Savva is my favorite tattoo Artist) and a bellybutton piercing from this shop.i will only go to Body Electric and I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone!

It was pricey but WELL worth it. They were very patient with me while stretching my ears and getting my first tattoo. They were clean and gave clear after-care instructions. Awz does great line work and he’s got jokes, highly recommend. He cleaned up my own artwork and rolled with it.

Very good experience there. Brian is good at what is doing : piercing. It was fast, clean and professional. Only good jewelry material (platinum is the minimum). I came to L.A. from Paris and Im glad I could get an appointment. I strongly recommend him.

I took the ring back a few weeks later and another girl did the piercing by hand without clamps and she did it correctly and its much better. It was excellent!

Came to this tattoo shop cause of friend recommend, had my tattoo done, looks awesome, artist is very friendly, will go all out to get your perfect piece of art 👍

I did some research, then dropped into Body Electric Tattoo & Piercing for my first piercing ever (a prince albert) at the recommendation of a friend. I couldnt be more pleased.Christopher explained everything really well and the whole process took about half an hour from when I walked in the door to when I was on my way out.

I came home for leave from VA, and I got lucky enough to get an appointment before going back. When I explained that the appointment was on my last day here in CA, Mike was still willing to work with me. I showed some reference pictures to him and explained to him what I wanted. He made an impressive sketch that already had me excited, but the end results left me breathless. What was the most impressive thing about my experience here though is that he actually sat down and tatted me for 8 hours, with several short breaks in between. That takes a lot of focus, passion, and dedication. Everyone else here is pretty cool too. Cracking jokes about MILFs walking in, playing cool music, and occasionally complimenting on the work in progress. I think I might just get a tattoo here to hang out. For my first tattoo, I have no regrets at all. Ive made so many friends and received many compliments on it. Thats right, I get to hang out with the cool kids now.

I love coming to Body Electric Tattoo and Piercing Studio because it is the cleanest and dopest studios I’ve ever been. I only get my tattoos and piercings done here. The team is very professional and I always feel welcomed when I come in. This place is like a temple and I can tell the staff loves what they do. I fell in LOVE with this studio as soon as I walked in couple years ago and I have never left. I highly recommend this place for first timers or veterans like myself when it comes to piercings and tattoos!

Me and my husband traveled here from Louisville ky to get pierced by Brian and needless to say we were not disappointed. He was very friendly and knowledgeable, definitely the best piercer Ive been to. Highly recommend him. We also loved all of the jewelry options we had to choose from. Would not hesitate to make the trip again for future piercings.

Amiable and talented bunch of artists, attentive to my needs/wants and overall an absolute experience.

I luv James. He is a awesome piercer. He is calming, friendly, and very personable. He has alot of patience and knowledge of proper piercing placements according to your unique anatomy. He will not let u leave unhappy or dissatisfied. I been to many piercing shops and this one by far is the best I ever been to. Its clean, professional and sanitary which is my pet peeve being a nurse and even the restroom smells very nice...yes...the restroom smells unlike typical shops like it. I give Body Electric A++. The prices are more than others but not that much, but its so worth it in long run to be happy with what u paid for than unsatisfied. There are two piercers there but I will only go to James. He is definitely a asset to this shop.

I was very impressed with the quality and timing of the service. I came in as a walk in. I was greeted by the owner and spoke with Mike G about what I had in mind. He sketched exactly what I wanted. The wait was not long. I was in and out in about an hour. The staff was friendly and the environment was clean. I would definitely recommend this shop.

Great tattoo artists, especially Mike for variety of styles. Its pretty pricey to get a tattoo there. Be prepared to pay $200 per hour. Appointments is a must since its always busy.

I cant describe how gorg my tat is! Just got it done today and I am so stoked! This tattoo holds a very special meaning to me and I sure did find a right person to execute my vision intricately.

Brian is so sweet and knowledgeable. He may get tons of customers daily but he is patient and kind no matter what. Worth the price.

Wendy was super professional and made us feel at ease when we came in tonight. Heard about her from a friend and he was correct she truly is amazing, sweet, and well informed in what we did. I am super thankful and we will Def go back to her. Thank you Wendy we really appreciate it.

Came to Dan with an idea at around noon, we chatted for a bit and sussed out a design and he was able to see me by five the same day. It wasnt very detailed, but he was incredibly professional and helpful.

Super clean ✨ Brian is so kind and makes piercings a breeze

Brian Keith Thompson and his staff are absolutely incredible. The atmosphere in the actual studio is both professional and friendly. The jewelry provided is both high quality and beautiful and the actual piercing experience was quick and pleasant due to BKT’s skill. My mother and 3 year old we aslo super comfortable and welcomed in the studio. I absolutely plan on going back and if my girl’s ears weren’t already pierced this is where I would bring them no question. This is the place to be if you are looking for they best all around piercing experience.

My boyfriend came was initially unsure about whether he would go-through with the tattoo, but the tattoo artist did a great job with the design, and my boyfriend was pleased with the tattoo afterwards. The staff did seem a little hurried at times for no apparent reason, albeit my boyfriend was indecisive and we entered the store somewhat near closing. I enjoyed being able to kick-back on the comfortable couches and look over the tattoo designs while I waited, but I was a disappointed that I wasnt allowed to be next to my boyfriend while he was getting the needle in him in order to support him. Maybe thats not a policy unique to this store? Look for the PlayBoy magazines in the mens restrooms. I laughed out loud.

Came to this tattoo shop cause of friend recommend, had my tattoo done, looks awesome, artist is very friendly, will go all out to get your perfect piece of art! 👍

They gave me a price after doing my tattoos plus the shop minimum was $100 but apparently since my four stars were done in separate places it counts as 2 separate tattoos so I ended paying $200 for four quarter sized tattoos plus there unorganized they let 3 people go before me waiting for 2 hours even though they told me it was a 30 minute wait. Im definitely trying other places.

Got my conch done here. Dom was amazing and everything was clean and sanitary. The piercing itself was quick and pretty painless; planning on coming back here to get my third lobes, forward helix, and my mid cartilage!

Went all the way from SF to get my ear pierced given all the great things I had heard. It didnt disappoint, service was great, they were patient helping me decide which piercings I wanted to get, explained everything to perfection and it didnt hurt.

The tattoo shop is very nice, Ive been tattooed by Mariel, such an amazing girl, very professional and friendly at the same time. I recommend 100% that artist.

I got my first tattoo there in early October 2014. absolutely wonderful experience....the people there are extremely kind, talented, and laid back but professional. For my next tattoo I will definitely go back to Body Electric

All the staff I came in contact with were welcoming and helpful. The shop had plenty of jewelry options for my nostril piercing.

Terrific studio! Tattoo artists make you feel comfortable and welcomed from the moment you step foot in it. Got an amazing writing on a day I needed to start over. Thanks guys!

Brian got back to me quick by email when I had a question and Steph did a great job on my piercing!

I am absolutely thrilled that I had the chance to have a piece done at this studio. Everyone was very professional and also incredibly friendly. The studio itself looks fantastic, and the artists are very professional and knowledgeable.

The owner, Brian, is the coolest, most comfortable guy: the kind of person that makes everyone whom he speaks with feel like a close friend. We talked for a little while before and after I got my tattoo; great guy and a great place. My artists name was Steven. He had a good eye, a light touch, and a steady hand. Loved the work he did, abd I would definitely go back for ky next tattoo. The parlor is clean, the artists are careful and sanitary, and the prices are reasonable.

What can I say? Mez and Co. are majorly talented and service oriented. I got my first and only tattoo while visiting SF for work. Mez worked her mojo and created yet another amazing piece of art. Im thrilled with the work she did and really enjoyed the experience. T

Jacob was amazing, finished in half the time he estimated and I couldnt be more pleased with the result. Cool vibe, everybody is friendly, definitely recommend this place.

Amazing first class professional work! Mike Gutowski helped me redeem myself from some past mistakes with the most expert cover up art! Worth flying 3000 miles to get top quality work that I can proudly live with.

So far, Ive had three piercings with Brian and about to go in for more. Clean shop. Excellent service and quality. Bonus, Brian is super cool. Recommended.

During my visit to Los Angeles, I decided to commemorate my time spent with a tattoo that I had been planning for quite some time. Believe it or not, I found out about this place through numerous Buzzfeed videos that had indirectly publicized the tattoo parlor. I though to myself if its good enough for Buzzfeed, its good enough for me! And my artist, Daniel, did not disappoint. Not only was he super knowledgeable and friendly, he did an absolutely AMAZING job on my tattoo. The next time I am in Los Angeles (and planning to get some ink work done), it will be with Body Electric!

I am really happy with my tattoo. Great artists, perfect hygiene, perfect spot. I recommend it at 100%. My tattoo artist was Ray, is really talented.

Nice upper level shop. Great art but the prices are very high. Expect to pay around $350 for a 3 simple tatoo.

Body Electric Tattoo & Piercing was an amazing experience. Like a Temple of body art with beautiful artists. The owner is incredibly friendly and I had my ears gauged by an artist, Dom who was also awesome!

Took about 50mins of actual tattooing, cost 175, much better quality than I expected! Ask for Martin

Talented, experienced and attentive artists. Shop follows regulations. If you want a quality piece of art, just go here.

Very nice people. Very accommodating for piercings and excellent tattoo work. Piercing is a bit pricey but its quality hardware.

What a great atmosphere, VERY clean, the shop owner Brian was extremely helpful & informative. Excellent experience and I will be back!!! Thank you Brian!

Theyre very nice and professional.

Body Electric is a great place to go to get your tats. Ive has several small pieces done by them and they all look great. The store is clean and the staff is very professional. AA

I got my nose pierced here recently and they were so nice!! It is a very clean and professions environment I recommend 100%

We Love This Shop. Best few hours getting tattoos. Friendly.clean. great artists.

Visited the shop twice in last 4 months to find a BVLA nose ring. Once it was a Saturday early afternoon, fairly busy, and front desk service was dismissive. It felt like they were understaffed and stressed. I didnt buy anything that time because it didnt feel right and I didnt feel strongly attached to any jewelry. All things considered, the space was spotless, the piercers and tattoo artists were friendly and authentic, the jewelry collection was wide ranging and beautiful, and it is conveniently placed. So I visited for the 2nd time this past weekend (Jan 2019). Slamming but front desk staff was ON POINT. Immediate greeting, following up and giving a wait time estimate, attentive to your inquiries and preferences, and knowledgeable. It was meant to be because I met the owner, Brian, who knew exactly what to give me based on my limited ideas and took me back immediately to swap my nose stud for the hoop. He was professional, funny, dry, and smooth AF. Hes literally Dapper Dan (sick suited LEWK). Piece was reasonable for a rose gold BLVA hoop ($65). I will buy my jewelry from them and if I want another piercing, or God help my God-fearing parents - a tattoo! - I know where to go. 10/10 recommend if you want precision, cleanliness, and a healthy dose of sarcasm.

Love this place I only get piercings done here👍🏻

Ive been coming here since I was 13 and Ive gotten nose and two sets of ear piercings done here. Always thorough, safe, and friendly.

The artist took so much time on doing my tats.

The shop minimum is $100, which is pretty steep. The whole vibe of the place was unwelcoming. My tattoo ended up badly done. The artist was standoffish, and I felt uncomfortable the whole time. He did a terrible job at shading on my tattoo. Do not recommend.

Clean shop. Everyone is chill and knowledgeable

I took my daughter here to get some work done. It was pricey but the work was nice. I would say for an old chollo like me it is not the place lol, but for a young person this place would be a good spot. Clean and very friendly people. Keep up the good work.

I am very hard on reviews. For me to post a review, the company has either terrible service or oustanding service. The ones in the middle, I feel have done nothing in my eyes to rate a review and should try harder.Which brings me to Body Electric tatto and piercing. I have been in several tattoo/piercing shops and found some that have caused me concern. I look at how the artist keeps their workstation cleaned and especially their supplies. At Body Electric, I found the suplies to be meticulously organized. This rates high for me, and tells me they have pride in their workspace. This pride relates to a clean environment. If the ink bottles are all facing forward or the neddles are facing the same way, this says a lot.This takes me to the owner of the shop, Brian Kieth Thompson. I brought my wife there for her third piercing. Needless to say she was extremely nervous. Mr. Thompson was extremely professional at all times. He took pride in talking about all the options. This wasnt a production mill type of place..The amosphere was relaxing and the decor added to the artist style. But most of all was the personal attention Mr. Thompson provided to relax my wife for her piercings.He followed up with strict instructions for aftercare and made her repeat them back to her. I identifed this type of instruction with the same you recieve in the military..tell them what to do, explain how to do it, then have them repeat it back so there is no confusion...so I wasnt suprised when he said he had served in the military. This also said a lot to me.To provide an extremely sterile, well organized and relaxed atmospere added to the whole experience that will make us a client for life. If you have an oportunity to see the shop do so, and you will come to the same evaluation.

The only place to go when in L.A! Mike G is the best!

Attitude from the artist I was going to have do my work. I walked away. Way too busy as well!

Great vibe. Talented artists and piercers and nice people all around.

Really nice shop, cool vibe and lovely tattoo artists. Thanks Martin ;)

What an incredible experience... Brian was unbelievable professional and attentive .... Beautiful all the way.

I got my first tattoo And it was awesome Nice work 🖒🖒🖒 totally professional people.

Good place to get inked.

Friendly, professional, fair priced, walk ins welcome, and crazy good artwork . Isnt that all youd wanna look for in a tattoo shop?

3 basic piercings : 1 in the nose 2 in a earlobe = $200. No thanks ! Have a good one

I think the environment was nice and clean space however the tattoos are over priced and since getting a tattoo here I’ve had to cover it up and I honestly believe you can get better artwork done at another tattoo place for way less.

Brian was very helpful while changing my jewlery!

The Homie 💯 !!!

Beautiful shop with talented artist!

Brian is the man for piercing...love you guys

This place is amazing!!! Will come every time I come to LA

I got my piercings done here, best place.
