If your looking for a very relaxed and chill environment I recommend RICKY SPANISH! He’s done every tattoo I have on my sleeve so far. Everytime I’ve came in for an appointment he always uses fresh,clean, and sanitized equipment. Not only that but the vibes are amazing, felt right at home everytime I came in for a tattoo. Ricky is my go to guy, never a disappointment with him. Highly recommend!!!
Went in for a nose piercing and they didn’t even ask where I wanted it or mark it first. The staff there are very rude and unprofessional. I overheard them talking to a customer and they were so nasty to her. Horrible experience. 0/10 would not recommend. Not to mention the sign on the door says “masks required” and none of their staff are wearing masks. Don’t go here for a piercing.
I got my belly button pierced there about a year ago. They were pretty good, the woman was really sweet and helped me pick out a good ring. She also made the process as painless as possible, and talked me through the whole process. However, I just got my nose pierced today and my experience was really poor. I called ahead to make sure they had appointments available and I was told it was by walk in. I come in, we wait for about 20 minutes without being acknowledged and without being given paperwork to fill out. when we are helped, the woman was very short with us and actually rude, giving us three word answers and a snotty tone. when I was called in to get my piercing, she didn’t give me a choice of jewelry and just choose one. She marked my nose and pierced it and was extremely slow with the piercing and not very precise on the dot she had made. She went through the aftercare instructions way too quickly and I was not able to keep up. I wasn’t offered an aftercare booklet (they are right on the desk) so I grabbed one myself. Not a good experience. When you pay $40 for a nose piercing you want a little bit of courtesy and at least aftercare information.
See Ricky Spanish for the BEST artistic, high quality tattoo. I follow him wherever he goes…..super happy he is now at Body Ritual! Love this place! A Milwaukee corner stone (and long standing reputation) for being the best. I had my first tattoo done here over 25 years ago. Excited to come back and sit for my next Ricky Spanish original.
Sam is an amazing artist. Very patient with you. I was terrified the first time I went and he calmed me down completely before tattooing me. I’ve have gone to him since for my tattoos. Pictured is my most recent one. I went to someone else once and was disappointed and refuse to find another artist from here one out. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him.
I had reached out the artist Ricky, he does amazing work that I’ve seen online. He was on time and very professional. My first time with him as a tattoo artist. Not heavy handed, very detailed oriented, and great personality. (Perfect for first timers) can’t wait to come back. I’m a customer for life now. Excuse the pic I worked after and had a dinger. “They in love with the Shoto”
I worked with Anthony and I honestly had a horrible time and was so anxious during my experience. He made me feel super dumb about things I was asking and he was incredibly rude the entire time. It started out with him pushing the appointment back an hour late 5 minutes before which I was not upset about even though I was already there. But then he did not do anything to make me feel satisfied with placing of tattoo or design. I said twice I wanted something specific and he told me “you never told me that” which was rude and unprofessional. The last time I got a tattoo the man went out of his way to show me multiple sizes to make sure I loved the tattoo. Anthony did not do any of these things. Every other employee seemed super kind while I was there so it was disappointing that he was so rude when I was paying him to do a service.
Mona knows what she is doing. Super fast in and out nose piercing. Took not even 5 minutes and looks fantastic.
I have gotten pierced here a number of times, for my eyebrow, nose, ears, and another piercing. I went to get the other side of my nose pierced yesterday and everything was going normally. The piercer was pretty short with me and seemed to want to get me out of there. I asked for the piercing to be even with my other nose piercing, and while she did pierce it in a good spot it was pierced at an angle so they are uneven looking. I dont know if I would go back after my experience, just because it seemed like the piercer was a bit annoyed with at I was there and the nose piercing was done at at such an angle. Other experiences I’ve had in the past have been good, but I wish the staff was just a little more engaging/welcoming to the customer.
Face was an awesome artist, took a really simple tattoo, and made it way more awesome than it needed to be. Went in for a really simple flash art design with my friends, and came out with a tattoo I could show my parents. 10/10 definitely recommend.
I have gotten 2 tattoos done there by Sam, (IG:Rickyspanishtattoos) and love them both. His attention to detail and talent is amazing. I get compliments all the time out in public on the portrait he did of my mother. He is an amazing artist and does a little bit of everything from what I have seen. I’m very happy with my tattoos and can’t wait to get more by him. I would highly recommend seeing him for your work. He is creative, professional, talented & very experienced. Thank you Sam for this beautiful dedication tattoo.
Ricky was awesome!!!! He not only understood my tattoo I was looking to put together but gave me ideas I never would of thought of!!! The tattoo is coming out great and the quality is insanely good! He’s super dope! Can’t wait to continue my artwork with him
I got my helix and lobe pierced and great customer service also very nice staff. I love how they turned out and very fast and not very painful but any piercings are gonna hurt. Very satisfied!
Made an appointment, they saw us on time, easy in and out piercings. I got a cartilage piercing and my son got his ears pierced. Then, 4 months later when he left his earrings out for nearly 22 hours and the holes shut I called Body Ritual and they advised me what to do. Excellent customer service even after the fact. Will totally be going there again for future piecing needs and have already recommended to several friends.
I had all my tattoos done by Ricky Spanish (aka Sammy). Hes done 3 of mine so far. He did great work and really has an eye for detail. I recommend him to everyone I know.
Absolutely terrible customer service. Made me pay for a mask because I did not have one, but both piercers and receptionist were not wearing one. Had me pay before they took me back for my piercing, then told me there would be no way to pierce me without it being crooked. My card hasn’t been refunded yet which doesn’t take long to go back to my account when the payment and refund are not even 10 minutes apart. I took myself to another shop and they pierced me no problem with no crooked piercing. I will not recommend this place nor will I go there ever again.
I went to get my second ear piercing the end of December of 2020. The earrings they used for the piercing was very cheap because about three months later the front of the earring worked it’s way inside my ear lobe which was extremely painful to get out and put a new earring in. Eight months later both of my piercings are still not healed I did everything they said but it still never healed to this day. I don’t really know what to do now but I would not recommend this place for an ear piercing.
Antonio did an awesome job on my tattoo he is definitely an artist I would tell people to go to he works with what you want and he does his very best to make that tattoo absolutely amazing.🙂👍🏼
I got my septum pierced October of 2020, the healing process went good and I had no issues whatsoever. The staff was very helpful when I was picking out my jewelry and talked me through the process of piercing me. I will definitely be getting more piercings done here.
A friend of mine was visiting from out of town and we decided that we wanted matching mini tattoos. We Went to the shop and we were told to come back in an hour. We came back and waited 2 hours (just sat there, no greeting or anything from anybody) only for the tattoo artist to print off a design before even asking us what exactly we wanted…mind you NOBODY ever bothered to show us tentative designs. When we told him (the artist) what was printed wasn’t at all what we wanted (too big, too many details) then asked for a more simplified tattoo design, he stormed away and got another tattoo artist (who was still practicing/in training) & he left us there w her. Needless to say we did NOT get a tattoo. The male artist didn’t even introduce himself, ask us our names, NOTHING. I would NOT recommend anybody go here (for a tattoo at least). Highly unprofessional and very unfriendly/unwelcoming. Super disappointing… the woman who was doing piercings was very sweet though…she even asked the receptionist TWICE “has anybody come to talk to them about their tattoos??”.Save your time, energy, and money. So unfortunate to have that experience w a friend who was visiting Milwaukee for the first time 😞
Sammy aka Ricky Spanish is very professional. Willing to help make your idea come to life so you get a tattoo you love! Definitely recommended
Sam Escobedo and the whole ritual staff are amazing. made me feel welcomed and very professional!
This is my second time at this shop, and I absolutely love it. Very nice, clean, and the artists are very knowledgeable. Will be back for other piercings
In town visiting, stopped to have 3 ear piercings changed out on 6/19..on 6/20 one earring fell out. Visited shop today and while showing where the earring should go a second one fell out. Desk person immediately diverted to my hair snagged piercing..that had not occurred!! The Manager who’s also the piercer came in and proceeded to blame me for the dislodging AFTER telling me that what I explained couldn’t have happened! She went on to say that I was lying about the price that I’d paid for the earrings. I showed proof. She continued by saying the employee that sold them for $10 was robbing her & would be dealt with. She tried to charge me AGAIN for putting the SAME rings in my ear OR $15 each for new ones plus $10 change fee! Normally it’s $5 to change, she was trying to charge me $5 per piercing. I’ve been a customer of Body Ritual for double digit years, whether it be a piercing or tattoo and having this negative dialogue was unprofessional and ghetto. New people, whack attitudes!! 🤮🤮
The lady with black hair was rude & VERY unprofessional. Curses left & right & seemed unclean & dirty as a person. I wouldn’t want her to pierce me anyways. She was very belligerent towards me & that just turned me away. This place is 1 star.
The woman that pierced my septum did a great job and was very friendly. I was in and out in about 15 minutes. Would definitely recommend!
Got my nose pierced here for my birthday. I had an amazing piercer named Missy. She was friendly, super helpful, and just made the experience feel comfortable! Definitely going back!❤️
I just went to Body Ritual with a friend to get some piercings. The employees were really friendly when we came in, and they all quickly helped us. I was pleased to notice the camaraderie in the store as the employees assisted each other throughout the appointment. Missy took care of me, and did such a great job. She answered the questions I had before we got started, then explained the whole piercing process as we went through to help me feel comfortable with everything going on. I have had other work done at Body Ritual in the past, and this time has maintained the excellent service quality I have come to expect from them. THANKS MISSY!
Great service! Always make you feel welcome!
The tattoo artist was not very professional and was kinda over priced
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! Went here after I got shoo’ed from Avant Gaurde. This place is totally comfortable and quick. They are super professional and the prices are wicked reasonable! I’m glad I found this place! They will be seeing me here more often!
I’ve always somehow gotten the same chick to pierce my ears. She’s amazing. The staff is great! Everyone is always respectful and clean! I will always come back here! 💕
Nice and friendly, Mike did my upper cartilage piercing and I was in and out about 20 minutes. The selection is very limited though, so I would recommend having them order you something.
I got the other side of my lip pierced yesterday to complete my snakebites, when she marked it looked great, but when I got home I realized she MISSED HER MARK by about 1.5-2 mm so now it looks crooked and Ill have to get repierced. waste of money. definitely going elsewhere.
Missy did my septum and my industrial in one appointment. She was very professional and told me what to expect but helped me relax at the same time. Will definitely be going back for more piercings!
Piercing was great. The person that did the piercing added a huge tip that I never authorized. Caused by account to bounce. Probably wont go back.
I went to Body Ritual for a double nostril and septum piercing. My piercer was Missy. Missy was very professional, knowledgeable and gentle. She made sure to talk through the steps of the piercing process as well as aftercare, thoroughly. I recommend this shop to anyone looking to get pierced (or tattooed!).
Absolutely terrible customer service! Walked in there and asked for a piercing it was me and my sister and they said I couldnt hold her hand when getting a piercing because of their policy. One worker was not wearing a mask the other worker wore one below her chin. The sign on the door said 3 people allowed in the building, it was just the two of us in the building and the workers. We brought this up to them and they said we were arguing with them and told us to leave. If you want quality and service dont go here. Unbelievable rude and terrible service! Felt very uncomfortable and unwelcome. The workers didnt seem like they wanted to be there.
Got 3 piecing so far. All very quick and reasonable priced! I will be going back for a tattoo soon !
Literally love my nose piercing, 10/10 if you’re thinking about getting a piercing here. Very quick and I loved how I was comfortable with the person who did mine. Mona did the best job! Cool shirts there as well and nice jewelry to choose from.
Missy is who pierced me and my friends. She explained every move she was making with all of us. She was amazing and very friendly. I will be requesting her the next time I go. Thank you guys so much
Had my tongue pierced here about 6-7 yrs ago and I still have it thinking about coming back for a second tongue piercing and a nose piercing…….
Tried calling 4 times over the course of an hour to schedule an appointment. They cant answer the phone during business hours apparently.
They pierced my left nostril crooked/wrong a couple of months ago. i got my right one done about 4 weeks after my left one, but i went somewhere else. i noticed something was up when my right one was totally fine, but my left one was still bleeding, swelling, etc. i went to my new piercer to check it out and was told they pierced it crooked. so that was a bummer
Very rude and unprofessional customer service. Arrogant and not forward thinking business practices. I support many other amazing women owned or managed local businesses. This establishment is a disappointment to other women who are building solid, honest and fair businesses.
Mona did a great job in piercing, comfortable place and nice service.
Decent prices on piercings and jewelry. Friendly staff. Ive only had good experiences.
Missy did my piercing. She did an awesome job. This was my second piercing. She explained how to take care of it very well. She made it where I cant see the end of the piercing inside my nose which is appreciated because my first piercing end was messing with me and I can see it. I didnt like that and I had to keep pushing it. To add, the it was for a reasonable price.
Awesome experience here at body ritual! I was in and out in no time, and the owner of the shop was happy to help me with all my questions and was all around just a great person to chat with while I was being pierced. The place was clean and professional, with a great atmosphere and vibe. Will definitely be back!
I went to get both of my nostrils pierced and my piercer wasnt wearing their mask properly and had their nose out the entire time. The piercing room itself did not seem sanitary, with tissues on the floor, a messy setup and people walking in and out of the room while I was getting pierced. I was having problems with the piercings and set up an appointment to have them looked at and when I arrived, my concerns were not taken seriously and I was turned away without a consultation. Due to this, I had to go to another piercing studio and was told that they incorrectly pierced my nostril and that it would be best if I removed my jewelry and let the holes close. The lack of professionalism and care Body Ritual has for their customers is very frustrating as well as concerning. I will not be going back and do not recommend this shop to anyone.
Was very cleanly which is so important. But the person answering the phone was not very friendly at all. To me, it seemed like the piercer wanted to do what she wanted to do not what the client wanted. My push through was not at all painful.
My experience at Body ritual was more than perfect. I just walked in and got taken care of immediately, no appointment.Mona was my piercer and let me tell you: she was awsome and super professional! At first, I was very nervous since I was getting three piercings in a row but the fact that Mona was confident and easy to talk to made me feel comfortable. She made the procedure seem so fast and easy, and made sure it was safe and sanitary. Not only did she sanitize the jewelry, but she sanitized my lobes and cartilage and used new needles for each piercing. She wore a mask and gloves as well.Mona is an awsome person and made sure I walked out the shop happy with my new piercings. She let me show her a picture of where I wanted the flat piercing on my cartilage and happily adjusted the location and made sure I was happy with it before piercing it. Its exactly where I want it and Im so happy she made sure we were both on the same page. I will definitely come back for any future piercings!I didnt read any of the poorly rated reviews for this shop until after I got my ears pierced. Im so happy I didnt because I would have felt discouraged to go there so Im extremely greatful that Mona made my experience wonderful.
If you want your septum pierced have Missy do it. She is great!!
Very clean. Friendly staff Ricky is an amazing artist best in the city for comic book or anime tattoos.
I went in and got a Medusa peircing Wednesday (it was cute and all dont get me wrong) & by today I had to go back because I was in severe pain from my initial jewelry being to tight, I paid 55 for it, then had to turn around and pay 15 more for a new piece, and the chick didnt give Me any warning before reaching in my mouth un-twisting the ball after I said multiple times that my lip was hurting and was clearly swollen, she popped the new one in and that was that, also she handed me a new replacement in my hand but she got it from a baggie, The new one feels better already which is good, but I just feel it couldve been More professional, and correct so I wouldnt have had to spend more when it couldve been done better initially.
Great staff, reasonable pricing, minimal wait on a Saturday afternoon for a walk-in nose piercing.
Very good care especially with Covid. They were very patient and informative also reasonable priced. I happened to go to the doctor for my annual physical 4 days later she commented that the piercer did a great job.no signs of infection and looks to be healing great. Lexi is a hidden gem if your thinking about getting any type of piercing go with her! I was so nervous and she literally did everything she could to make me feel better.
The staff are kinda hit or miss they could be a little more inviting and nice.
I took my 3.5 year old daughter here to get her ears pierced and it was great! We worked with Missy and she was fantastic! Super nice, professional and very sweet to my daughter. It was quick, clean and painless. I absolutely recommend them!
Came to buy jewelry about an hour after they “opened” and no one was there, no one ever answers the phone either. super weird & disappointing
Girl with the blonde hair rude as hell. She makes it painfully obvious that she doesn’t want to be there, but don’t take it out on the customers.
Lexi did a great job with my third piercings in each ear lobe. Quick, painless. Total pro.
Every piercing Ive got happened at body ritual and I refuse to go anywhere else. I go there because I trust them and I never had a bad experience
Nikki was outstanding! I’ll be coming back for more!
I had made an appointment and brought my birth certificate with my ID because I’m under 18. Me and my father had gotten asked if we had an appointment and when the lady asked us that, she seemed very irritated which was a rude way to greet us due to her tone of voice. She became even more salty and irritable when I had responded “yes.” She refused to give me service because my father’s name wasn’t on the birth certificate, but I had his marriage license with my mother(who is on the certificate). Mind you, I was told to bring my birth certificate to clarify my AGE, not my birth father. What if I was adopted? That would have been very disrespectful! Also I noticed that when she was looking at my birth certificate, she was looking at everything on the birth certificate but my birthday. I would not recommend going here. The workers are very snotty and seem as though they hate their job. If you are expecting to be respected and greeted nicely, don’t go to Body Rituals. I recommend any other tattoo shop! Definitely a one star! Don’t waste your time.
I got a tattoo covered up, they did not do a good job AT ALL!!! The old tattoo is still visible and they refused to try and fix it
Missy kills nipple piercings, thanks love!!
I came here a few times for piercings and my experience was definitely better than previous places. I will come here from now on for my piercings. Prices are responsible, good service, clean etc!
I got my nose pierced by the wonderful Missy. She was very professional and extremely knowledgeable about her work. The placement of the nose ring was absolutely perfect and I am in love with my piercing!!! My experience at body ritual was top notch. They also had precautions in place for Covid and I felt really safe. Missy was amazing. I would get another piercing from her any day. I highly recommend!
Awesome place to get a piercing! Got my nostril done quick and easy.
I had a great experience with body Ritual. I called and got an appointment the same day. I had to go in by myself, wearing a mask due to Covid. The staff was wearing a mask the whole time. They were friendly and knowledgeable about the piercing I was getting ( nose piercing). The whole process was quick and done in a clean environment. I would highly recommend this business.
Person on the phone was rude, i asked simple questions. and person was very rude
Seriously I was so wowed, with how I felt so cared for, it was so cleanly at the chair. Robyn did my navel, and educated me so much on everything thing pertaining to it along with some tips for my other piercings, and then Brandy did my tongue, also very quick and easy, and aftercare explained so throughly. A marvelous experience. Highly recommended Robyn and Brandy for getting pierced
I got my septum pierced here about a year ago and had no issues with it. It was clean, quick, correctly placed, and healed properly.Service was good. I called ahead to find out if they did walk-ins and to find out what it cost and then popped over there. It was a short wait and there was plenty of seating for waiting.I dont remember the exact price for the piercing, but it was within the range of what I know people generally pay for a septum piercing.When I get my next piercing done, I will go back.
Had my tongue done a long time ago there now its time for my lip
The ladies in the shop did a fantastic job with my 1 year old.
Lexi did such a good job and was super good at explaining each step she was about take. And she was super friendly i will keep on going to her!
Quick service kind
Perfect service and wonderful environment! Robyn specifically is beyond amazing- youll walk out with a gorgeous and extremely well-performed piercing. Shes extremely experienced and has the most fabulous bedside manner. Please go see her if youre interested in a piercing. She is more than happy to go above and beyond with answering questions and concerns, extremely professional and sterile during the entire procedure, and will spend extra time going over proper aftercare. She does all my piercings and I would never want to go to anyone else!!
I had a VCH piercing with Lexi this afternoon. All I can say is was very informative. She was friendly & explained everything. I would highly recommend her for services. She made me feel very comfortable. It was definitely not as painful as I thought it would be. I highly recommend her!!! Thank You Ms. Lexi 🙂
Everyone at Body Ritual is amazing! They are all extremely nice and know what they are doing, and they walk you through everything, from the piercing itself to all of the aftercare. I got my septum pierced here, and I will definitely be back for more!
I got my first piercing ever and it was my septum. Lexi did an AMAZING job thank you again!!
Walked in with friends immediately staff was unwelcoming and obviously irritated. In a group of 4, 2 people had appointments. I was clearly not the caller of the appointments and was greeted rudely by an employee asking us to leave with a snobby attitude. Understandable with covid-19 only those with appointments would be permitted in the store. Great I completely understand but the lack of professionalism and tone when asking someone to exit your business there is no need to be rude and argue in front of paying customers. I would not come here for any services and would suggest employees take lessons in customer service. Apologies that over a phone call that I was involved in that I didnt get the memo that only persons with appointments are allowed in the store. As a business that interacts with clients everyday I would expect better customer communication skills.
Lexi was great and patient overall excellent experience and over the top customer service Lexi is the go to person.
Went with my boyfriend to get his nose pierced and the employees were not wearing masks when we walked in. not only that, the piercer who was speaking to us was touching the jewelry in the case with her bare hands and then placing it back in the small piles of jewellery so every piece got contaminated. when it came time for the piercing, she already put her gloves on and was touching things not meant for the piercing and never changed her gloves before piercing his nose. she marked a spot he wasn’t happy with so he had her mark again, and said do it in between the two spots marked. she pierced him in the spot he previously told her not to, it is extremely close to the tip of his nose. overall extremely unprofessional, not sanitary.
Got my nose pierced ladies were friendly. Me and my bestie got service right away. Place was clean and following all covid guidelines. Will be back
Lexi was so great and it went so fast💃🏾❤️
Ive been here for piercings only and had both my nose piercings done, my tragus, and my daith. I believe Lexi has done all of my piercings, and shes super informative and friendly. She narrates what shes doing while shes piercing and gives a heads up before actually beginning the piercing itself. I think its reasonably priced, and I think they take appointments only now due to COVID which is also nice. Ill be back in the future for a few more piercings!
Quick and painless peircing in the right ear. My left ear was already peirced from when I was a child. Service was quick and decent. And pricing wasnt bad.
The woman who pierced me was so kind and helpful! I usually get sick during piercings, but this one went well!
I dont like the email contact, They reached out, however they never responded back🤷
I went here to get my septum done. the girl who did it was friendly and quick with my piercing and it didn’t hurt that much but after a few weeks my friend who did piercings told me that she put the septum too high. when I took it out to change to another septum It was In fact too high for me to screw in the ball.
Very polite and fun to talk too thanks guys
I love this place! I got 3 cartilage piercings and Brandy did amazing! She kept me calm the entire time and assured me she’d be quick. I was nervous because I’d had a bad experience else where prior. But I can’t recommend her enough! She did great. I’ll definitely be back for more piercings soon!
The piercer (I forgot her name) just pierced myself and two of my friends today. We were SO pleased with our service we had! I got a septum piercing and loved the placement. My friend got a forward helix and was very pleased with placement. My third friend got a nose piercing and then piercer suggested a super creative and cute placement of a double nose piercing. It was a fun experience with my girlfriends and everything was super clean and super efficient. Highly recommend!!!
