Body Art/Description
Body Art - Albuquerque
The main space of Body Art is brightly lit and gives an immediate impression
of cleanliness and order. The air is rather cool thanks to a combination of
air conditioning and standing floor fans. Spotless laminate flooring is neatly
arranged in a black and white checkerboard pattern through the room, a
striking contrast to the dark red walls. Wall-mount double-sided panel flash
rack displays showcase various tattoo designs; there are binders with more
designs stacked neatly on the end tables in the waiting area.
A long counter wraps around half of the room, displaying the shop's available
body jewelry, which ranges from simple silver rings and ear gauges to more
exotic accessories, such as twists and plugs. The comfortable-looking waiting
area to one side of the counter is comprised of several couches and a TV set,
though music generally plays overhead while the shop is open. Framed photos
and flash designs hang on the wall above the couches.
Down a short hallway, there are several smaller rooms where piercing and
tattooing actually takes place. Further down the hallway is a public bathroom
and a door labeled 'Office.' Behind the counter, there is another door marked
'Private,' which is kept locked at all times.
