Owner/Piercer - Body Electric - Brian Keith Thompson
“This studio spoke to me, I had to own it. I sold everything, and devoted myself to the tattoo & piercing culture. I bet my life on it.”
— Brian Keith Thompson
“I made it a little more user friendly because the tattoo industry changed. I just brought a corporate side to it, really great customer service because I know what it’s like to be a client. It didn’t look like this before. I mean there are still a lot of things here that are key for nostalgia, but I just fine-tuned everything.”
