Modern Body Art is still open and we are still tattooing as usual. If you have a request for a specific artist then please contact them directly using the contact form here by selecting their name from the drop down menu. They will get the email, but they may take a few days to respond. If you have have a more general enquiry or an enquiry about piercing or lasers, you can email us on info@modernbodyart.co.uk (but please be a little patient).
If you wish to speak to us on the phone then we have a receptionist available to take calls on Thursday Friday and Saturday every week. You will still be able to make appointments, but the time slots will be a little more limited. Get in touch for info. We were Birmingham's first custom only tattoo studio, and are owned and managed by tattoo artists with a passion for the industry.

We have been body piercing at our tattoo studio since 1999. Microdermals and intimate piercings are also available. We stock, and can order in, a selection of jewellery from QualiTi and Alice Ruby, for both new and healed piercings.

With over 16 years of experience, we offer all types of body piercing and microdermals, in a hygienic and friendly environment. We will try our very best to fit you in on a walk in, but we would recommend booking an appointment to avoid disappointment. Prices start at 20 for basic titanium jewellery, but please email us for more information.

I went here for a piercing and I cannot enthuse enough how helpful the piercer lady was. She was wonderful. She went into detail about how to look after the piercing once done and did her utmost to make sure I was at my most comfortable during the actual piercing. She offered the option of freezing the area and also discussed another piercing I had in mind. Overall I would very much recommend.

The Modern Body Art tattoo artists create amazing tattoos.
I had quite a big tattoo done by Andy Cryztalz. It's dotwork and took a total of about 17 hours. It was completed over the course of 5 sessions. They are open 10a-6pm Mon-Sat. For larger pieces, they usually book 4 hour sessions either 10-2p or 2p-6p. Tattoo rate is £70 per hour.
Chris, the receptionist, is friendly and professional. I had my sessions on Wednesdays and found the studio very relaxed and mellow. The co-owner and artist, Jo, was usually working as well as Rachel. They were both very friendly. All of the artists were

The most highly regarded ink shop in Birmingham. The two owners of this place are world famous tattoo artists but they are often our at conventions so in their place are some of Birminghams other most talented artists.
The waiting list here is long and the price is high but your paying for the best and its with you forever so it'll be totally worth it. If you pop in or search online they can see examples of the work coming out of this studio, if you had any doubts they will soon be done.
Book in advance to avoid disappointment.

A reasonably substantial amount of my skin is covered in ink, and a substantial part of that is a work (still!) in progress by Jo Harrison. I feel that qualifies me to both review MBA and also explain why I rate it as highly as I do.
The salon itself is clean, bright, airy and easy to get to. They're brilliant with hygiene and cleanliness, and the area that tattooing happens in is shielded from the entrance and waiting area, so you don't ever feel like you're being gawped at when you get your bits out to be tattooed.
They don't make any ridiculous claims about being &apos

With a dominating presence across two store fronts, Modern Body Art could easily be seen as the boss of all Birmingham tattoo shops. With two artists with a world wide reputation leading the charge and seven other high quality tattooists working there, the chances are you'll be able to find someone to do the tattoo you are looking for here. Such excellence doesn't come cheap, but we all know that if you want the best, you have to pay for it.
My one criticism is that the atmosphere in the reception area can sometimes be a little cold. I have quite a few tattoos and know the tattoo scene

This place sucks. the people that work at mba really irritate me, they dont make you feel at ease at all, the complete opposite actually. they make you feel really uncomfortable.
they think they know it all. and even if they do, theres a way to talk to people. should be friendly and not talk down to the other person. treat people how you'd like to be treated. you ask for a tattoo and they insist they have to tattoo it larger than a house. i know u cant have a tattoo too small but ffs one tattoo doesnt have to cover your whole body either. its the same everytime ive been there or called the
