Exotica Body Art Studio

I had my ears pierced and gauged at Exotica. The staff does observe strict standards with heigene and really know what they're doing with ANY kind of piercing. They also have several artisans who can craft any piece of stainless or gold jewelry for piercing. The fit and finish of their in house jewelry is extremely good. I can recommend one of their tattoo artists strongly because of the work he's done on friends. Nico's tattoo's are really perfect. His work always pops and just oozes style. I recommend that you have him do anything that you want done. The environment is adult only--as mentioned by Faith. They have, however cleaned it up a lot, and even slapped a fresh coat of paint on it. more

Exotica Body Art is a tattoo and piercing parlor on Colonial, just east of downtown. I myself have not used their services, but I've accompanied several friends on occasion! One friend had her nose pierced while I was with her (I was there for moral support); the procedure was straightforward and they observed strict hygiene. She was happy with her experience there. Another friend got her first tattoo at Exotica, done freestyle by a young and very talented artist. She took in several photos of lilies, and he created what looks like a pen and charcoal illustration on her shoulder just from these photos, with no prior drawings. She is extremely happy with it. The staff is friendly and helpful. The environment is adult-only, and prices seem to be reasonable. more
