I really loved this place the front door is handicap accessible but if you're getting a tattoo if you're in a manual wheelchair not an electric wheelchair but a manual wheelchair to guys there will lift you up on to the tattoo floor. My sister and my tattoo artist was awesome his name is Gustavo AKA goose does a very great job on his work would recommend this tattoo shop to anyone that wants to get a tattoo pricing isn't that bad so if you want to tattoo go to with dictions love this place.

Recieved a star on my middle finger about 2 years ago. It came out wonderful and, as tattoos do(especially on the hand and fingers), faded so I went back for a touch up. My artist was John, who took did his work professionally and was very personable, the type of person you would want doing a permanent mark on your body. Their prices are very good as well! Very satisfied and highly recommend!! Read Less

I went here because my brother recommended it I was so impressed. The artists take the time to talk to you and actually care what you want. I was debating where I should get my second tattoo and the staff really helped. I ended up getting my tattoo done by Keith he was funny and it helped a lot with nerves. I wish I had gotten my first tattoo here. I know in the future this is where I'll go. The environment is clean and mellow and prices are great. Read Less

Absolutely the best place! John was awesome to talk with and very laid back and professional:) he worked hard to get my vision perfect on paper and it turned out stunning and checked on how I was doing throughout the process. He also kept a good conversation going. Definitely recommend and I will be back soon for more! Read Less

My first ever tattoo was done here and came out badly. My best friend and I came in and got matching Mickey Mouse tattoos. Hers came out perfect but mine is messed up. The face and right ear are pointy and one part has the line thinner than the rest of the tattoo. I am very disappointed and upset my worst fear came true about getting a tattoo. Read Less

I was a little nervous to come here as I have always gone to another shop for years... I will be coming here form now on!! The shop atmopshere is so mellow and chill. And the artist are all extremely friendly and will sit and talk with you in detail about whatever questions you have. Keith was my artist this trip and he did matching tats for myself ad my best friend, needless to say he nailed it! We both are extremely satisfied with not only his work, but his professional yet friend attitude and manor towards us as clients. Absolutely satisfied and then some! Can't. Wat fr my next one here!

Well, alot of my body is covered in some of the best looking tattoos ever!! All the tattoo artists here are amazing, they all do exceptional work, but Marc Veneziano has done all of mine and they all have turned out great!! He is a great artist and so much fun to be around and a good personality...Thanks so much Marc!!! Read Less

I came into the shop based off a picture I saw of a tattoo of Albert, the mascot for the Florida Gators. After having a HORRIBLE experience at a previous "shop" I walked in and was greeted by all the artist that was there. Keith was AWESOME from the very start to the end. Very professional and a clean shop... a real team environment and very easy going. I will for sure be heading back to see Keith for more work! Read Less

John was so nice and took time to listen to me as a customer. Very professional place and even the front receptionist was nice ! Much better experience than Body Tech which was just horrible and rude would never go back there ! Read Less

I got my first and second tattoo here and have to say John did an awesome job. Can not wait to go back and get more. They all do amazing work there I would recommend this place to everyone I know. Thank you all for the awesome experience. Read Less

I've been going to Marc for 5 years and he's done work for most my family and friends. Love the new shop! Super clean and everyone is extremely helpful!! Definitely my only choice for tattoos in Gainesville!!! Read Less

Best tattoo shop in Gville! You can go ahead and shop around, I know you'll pick Addiction anyway. These artists combine their extreme talent with fun-loving attitudes to create a wonderful, enjoyable (yep!) tattoo experience for their clients. They also are very patient and take their time to create a custom work of beauty for you. I am a lifelong client now, for sure! Read Less

I went there for my first tattoo in my new city. And I loved it. I did a lot of research before finding the perfect shop. And I made the right choice. I had mine done by John and it came out just the way I wanted it. I will be back for more. Read Less

I live in Ft. Lauderdale and my friend in Gainesville told me all about this shop and how great it was. I decided to try it out since I've had piercing fever for a while now and my friend swore this was the best place to do it. I was extremely nervous to get a couple piercings done from someone other then myself but John, the piercer, made the experience so much fun and definitely calmed my nerves. He explained everything I needed to know and I was laughing the whole time. I may live a good 4 1/2 hours away but I'll come to Gainesville to be pierced here again. Read Less

I got my first second and third tattoos here (2 back to back)and a hand full of piercings and everyone is amazing. Keith does my tattoos but I would go to anyone in this shop. They are all charismatic, funny, and very professional. I don't think I will ever want to go to anyone else for my tattoos. Absolutely incredible place and staff! Read Less

John and the rest of the team were everything I was looking for in a piercer! I've spent forever poring over reviews, trying to find a shop in one of several cities across the state of Florida, and this was where we landed. The shop had a positive and friendly atmosphere, and everyone working there seemed pleasant and knowledgeable. Shop banter was amusing, for sure. The website said they took walk-in's, so we showed up just after they opened to check things out, get a quote and quick consultation, and see when they'd have time for us. John gave us a really thorough and honest breakdown of the care required and the options, and told us he'd be free in an hour and a half. When we returned, the receptionist was really friendly and helpful, the paperwork went quickly, and our piercer came out talked us through the last couple of options to be sure we knew what we wanted. Once we had it all worked out, it was smooth sailing and great conversation. He gave us a really wonderful and comprehensive breakdown of the aftercare and the mistakes that people make, and explained all of the possible problems and solutions on a biological level, when asked to elaborate. The shop has a great follow-up policy, and if anything goes wrong, it will be worth the four and a half hour drive for me to come back to Addiction to deal with it. Read Less

I wanted to get a tattoo that I had written myself so I first walked into body tech and they said they couldn't do it because it wasn't a handwriting they had on file. they said I would have to double the size to get the detail I wanted. i was pretty bummed so I walked right across the street to this place and Ron was the one who said it was a great idea that I designed the tattoo. he scanned it and blew it up and tweaked it a little so it was smooth. it was all in my own handwriting and it looks so beautiful. it is exactly the size I want and Ron made me feel so comfortable despite the fact that this was my first tattoo (and it was on my RIBS). overall definitely go to this place and NOT body tech. Read Less

As far as tattoos go, I have never gotten one at body tech nor do I know anyone that has. However, when talking about piercings, I was always told to go to Body Tech. Since this was Sunday night and they closed at 7:00, we went down the street to Addiction. The atmosphere in there is definitely not professional, nor organized. My friend and I were second guessing our last minute decision, but idiot us, if we weren't going to do the piercing right then and there, we weren't going to do it at all. I decided to get my nose pierced. It only cost me $25, which was cool, but the pain I enthralled was terrible. As my friend recorded my yelling and crying, my piercer went to explain that I moved while he was piercing my nose and had to re-pierce it all over again! You can see in the video that I was frozen solid in pain and most certainly didn't move. My friend who is much more better with pain than I am got her double helix pierced and most definitely didn't move a muscle. Somehow, he ended up having to pierce hers twice as well. Not only that, but our piercing locations were NOT wiped off or cleaned first with any kind of solution. Aside from that, our piercer was super nice! We most likely won't be returning. Read Less

They were really friendly and nice and i had fun while there me and my sister went an got our tattoos done there mine was the Mustache and hers was I refuse to sink..the guy that did it was funny and really nice!!! im def gonna go back there soon for more Read Less
