I got my lip and both nipples pierced on one day. The piercer was amazing. She was patient, she made me feel comfortable, she gave all the information I needed and answered all my questions. I never once felt rushed. She pierced in such a way that all pain from my nipples was gone the next day, no bleeding at all too. I havent felt pain in my lip since it got pierced. Minimal trauma but professionally done. They know what they are doing.

I felt comfortable the entire time I was there, and all my questions were thoroughly answered. I enjoyed my visit so much. Definitely will be returning in the future. Thank you Lliezel :)

The shop is full of plants, artwork and friendly faces making it an extremely welcoming environment. I had a hand poked piece done by Alex and I am extremely happy with how the tattoo turned out. It has such fine lines and soft details making it a unique and very skilfully executed piece of artwork. The artist was so gentle while working, I barely felt the tattoo being done. If you want an amazing piece coupled with great conversation, visit The Body Architects.

Went for piercings by Lliesl, what a wonderful person. She explained everything she was doing, was SO knowledgeable about ear shape, cartilage, etc and asked what our preferences were and did her best to accommodate us. She was great to chat to! Would highly recommend her.

Its so much more than a tattoo and piercing studio. The staff make you feel so at-home and comfortable in the studio. I don’t mind paying a bit more to be pierced/tattooed here cause their services come with follow-ups that show they really want you to have the best experience with whatever body modification youre doing.

Alex was amazing! She fitted me in last minute, made me feel so relaxed, and gave me a something Im going to love forever. Highly recommend her and the Body Architects team.

Review №18

Samantha did my piercing and she was quite cold and standoffish which made it feel rushed and uncomfortable, almost like she wanted to just get me out of the chair and be done with it. I will say though that Tammy was super warm, friendly and exuded great energy. The shop itself looks great and clean.

Fantastic place. Had my first piercing done their today (helix - I have normal lobe piercings which was done when I was a baby so I dont remember).

I got two tattoos by Marc, he was professional, easy going and works fast! He did both my tattoos with enough time for me to wait for my friend as he did hers and I still made it to the airport in time to catch my flight! Both pieces are absolutely amazing and even better than what I had imagined, definitely going back for more ink the next time Im in Cape Town!
