I plan to get almost all of my pieces done at this excellent shop, except for a few where I have specific artists in mind. The guys at the shop (especially Danny) are super nice and will take the time to make sure you are happy with your design and placement. On my first visit, my tattoo artist even gave me his unopened water bottle because I was thirsty and he wanted to make sure I was okay. On my second, the same artist (Daniel Guzman) re-designed my tattoo concept and it is likely my favorite of the ones I have now. I know this should be a standard for any tattoo experience, but I feel the Body and Soul crew are committed to making you enjoy your ink and the experience of getting it. And even though "a cheap tattoo is never good and a good tattoo is never cheap," I feel their prices are incredibly reasonable. If you want professionalism and warmth, as well as a funky vibe without any actual funk (the place is clean as a whistle and the artists make sure to point out their sterile process to you before they start to work), check out this shop right off the PATH.

I have a few tattoos. The largest and most precious to me is the one created by Miguel Prada. His work is AMAZING. He is extremely professional, artistic and has fantastic chair side manners. The work he did is on my back: its all words, BACKWARDS (mirror image), the of a portion of a poem. The font, placement and artistry he did makes it look beautiful, elegant and sexy. It could have looked ghetto and tacky, easily. My boyfriend, when I told him what I was going to get, was terrified at the final result. He pleaded I change my mind! When he saw the result he was very impressed. I get compliments on it ALL the time...Oh, my BF eventually ended up getting his very first tattoo fr Miguel. He loves as I do. The shop itself is clean and has really wonderful energy. The staff is really great too. It has such a great vibe that youd want to just hang out there and chill out with the guys! I highly recommend this place to everyone.

For two separate instances I received two totally different kinds of service. One my first trip, I got amazing service. My tattoo artist was happy to help and was very careful to understand my design and what I wanted. Not too heavy-handed with the needle. Excellent service I have to say. However, on my second visit I had an absolutely terrible time. I was going in for a touch-up of the previous tattoo. My original tattoo artist wasnt there when they said he would be, but they paired me up with some random person. This guy didnt care at all about what I wanted but was just doing what he thought looked nice. Even when I stopped him and tried to give him more direction, he still had a hard time understanding what I wanted. Amateur service at best. Still considering going back, but I will definitely be more picky about who I talk to.

Adam is a nice guy...unfortunately nice doesnt matter when it comes to experience. i battled with writing this review for months and seeing as I cant get my almost $300 back, I need to let anyone w/ darker skin know they should proceed with caution. Long story short, i got a tattoo that probably should have been done in two sittings. the end result was scarring instead of a tattoo. im so hurt and disappointed. so much so that id have to suggest you steer clear. i had to go to another tattoo shop to get clarification on what was going on with my tattoo bc Adam said "i just dont know what went wrong here." :(

Im a current apprentice here and i love it. When i first was looking into the program i was skeptical, but i decided it was too good an opportunity to pass up. Im so glad i went for it because my artistic skill has improved dramatically and im already learning how to use the machines. All of the graduated artists are super helpful and friendly and they even do apprentice hang outs where we can all chill and get to know everyone. I had tried a traditional apprenticeship in the past and a.r.t. has been far more welcoming and has taught me so much more.

I had a cover up done by Miguel and it looks totally awesome. I was pleased with his ability to put me at ease with his humor, his thoroughness in finding exactly what I wanted and his suggestions. The shop is clean warm and inviting. My husband is so pleased that we will be seeing Miguel for a replica of my tattoo for my beloved. The other staff members were friendly and also talked to me which helped out my mind at ease. Thanks to each of you.

As far as I know, this is the first shop ever opened in Jersey City. Guy, Miguel, Israel, Oksana and everyone else there are wonderful people. Miguel, it seems, has hundreds of loyal clients that refer him like crazy. Guy seems to be the person who helped make tattoo shops legal in Jersey City, and Oksana is one of the best female tattoo artists in NJ. Great shop. Friendly. Comfortable. Awesome!

Great service! Excellent work... Got my first tattoo with Paloma Yglesias, more than a year later still looks great. Recently, got my third and it was awesome! Oscar Aguilar worked on my masterpiece. This tattoo shop has a lot of talented artists, they will take time to patiently work with you to get what you want. Very nice and clean environment. Great experience, loved it!

One of the best places to get tattooed. Feels like walking into a bar where everyone knows you even if they dont. The artist there are extremely talented and focus a lot on customer care. Ive had most of my tattoos done at Body Art & Soul and the experience is always entertaining. Plus the work is sick AF! Highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for some new ink!

They have terrible artist there right now and the piercer did such a bad job on me that I was forced to take off the piercing. So pretty much wasting 50 bucks. And he didnt even tell me how to care for it. He jus pierced me out in the open and went on with his Convo. If ur looking for a good place go to Luckys.

I had a great experience getting a tattoo here this weekend. Nao, the artist, walked through the design process with me & was careful and reassuring throughout the entire tattooing process. Definitely recommend this place; its clean, people are friendly, and great artists!
