Modern Body Art

Gina was awesome, made a private piercing not so bad for a private person, got thru it with ease! Would 10/10 recommend!! I couldn’t even feel it the next day! My friend Also got her tongue pierced and she’s doing great! Clean shop nice atmosphere 🙃

Went with a friend on a late Saturday night looking to get an eyebrow and a nose piercing between the two of us; the entire shop was nice and open and quite clearly a clean place. Our piercer, Gina, was absolutely amazing and funny, as well. Everything was sterile and Gina made the entire process simple and positive. 10/10 will definitely be going back to Gina for more piercings and perhaps some tattoos at their shop in the future.

Had an appt with Gina for a nose piercing - she was professional, fun, and running ahead of schedule! I felt very comfortable and the shop was very clean. Definitely recommend!

Went to get a septum and upper navel piercing done by Gina. Gina was fantastic, personable and professional. The store was clean and mostly empty due to covid precautions and overall the visit lasted only twenty minutes. Definitely would recommend here for anyone looking for a piercing.

Gina is a fantastic piercer! Wouldn’t go to anyone else... she came highly recommended to me and I see why! She was so professional and relaxed, very confident. Everything new and sterilized... never worried for a moment that I wasn’t in the right place with the right person. Love her!

I’ve been here a few other times to get jewelry changed or help with aftercare so i was very familiar with the piercer, Gina. I had pleasant experiences with her each time so I knew I wanted her to do this particular piercing. I came in very nervous and she assured me I would be okay. We went back into the room she talked me through the whole process and I can say I was in and out of the room under 5 minutes. She was extremely professional and got the job done quickly. I would recommend her for any piercings you may want 😊

I went to Modern Body Art this Saturday (4/8/17) to see the piercer, Gina Carbone, who was extremely nice! The shop was well decorated, super clean and felt very welcoming. Gina herself was kind beyond words, and was even willing to stay a bit after her usual hours to help me with my piercing. I'll definitely be going to her in the future for any new piercings I get!

Gina was awesome! Truly a professional in the industry. She made the process comfortable and as painless as possible. My wife and I will definitely be returning to get tattoos.

Walked in told them what I wanted, was told to come back in about an hour. Knocked it the f out. Incredible group of artists, great pricing, friendly. Highly recommend.

I’ve had great experiences at Modern Body Art and have always recommended piercings there. I decided to get the bridge of my nose pierced. I have always had a great rapport with the staff and Gina, their piercer.

Leading up to the piercing everything was well explained. For a bridge piercing it is very important for it to be as straight as possible as it is in the center of your face. Upon review of the piercing immediately after, I noticed it was crooked slightly, but enough for me to notice. I then asked Gina to confirm as I respect her professional opinion. She then stated it looked fine and calmed any concern I had.

Later that night, upon arriving home, I still believed that the piercing was uneven. I had a few individuals come to me and say that they did notice that it was slightly off.

I then went in the following day to discuss with Gina my options. She was very adamant that the piercing was straight, although you could sense my concern and unhappiness with the piercing. I discussed having to re-pierce it, but she was not confident and tried to dissuade me that it could not be any straighter or different than it appeared. The way I was spoken to and the way it was handled, I felt it could’ve been a bit more professional and came off as a bit rude. I then left, and had decided to seek a second opinion elsewhere. I didn’t feel comfortable going back to her for any further advice, and will probably not return as a future client. Unfortunately, I will no longer be recommending Albany Modern Body Art.

***EDIT***

Upon leaving my review, the owner William had contacted me in under 1 hour after posting which I felt was handled well as having an unhappy client is very important to a business as any negative reflection hurt not only the business itself but the individuals involved. He was very professional, sincere, and you can sense he does care a lot about his business, the community, and the clientele.
