Moniques Body Art: Reviews
Fantastic experience: This was my first time at Monique’s, and the experience was first rate. Everyone I interacted with was knowledgeable and very helpful. The owner, Billy, was extremely patient as I had lots of questions about my piercings and jewelry. He took the time to help me find the best pieces to match my vision and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. I’ll definitely return to Monique’s in the future for both piercing jewelry and any new piercings.
Fantastic experience: Extremely respectful, friendly, personal staff. Very comfortable while getting my piercings. They even charged me less for having piercing holes i didnt know were even open. Very honest, i really appreciated that. Piercings healed amazing with no problems and placement is perfect. Definitely recommend you go here
Fantastic experience: JD is awesome. Absolutely fantastic work and great personality definitely go see him if you want a good tattoo.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place. Very clean and welcoming environment. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Billy was awesome. Made the process of having a navel piercing easy and gave great follow up tips! Thanks Billy!!
Fantastic experience: Went in yesterday at 12 to get advice on a piercing I got from a different studio that was causing me issues. I spoke with Bella and she was literally the sweetest, most kindest human ever. She took the time to really listen to me and give me advice and I was so grateful!! Absolutely astonished by the customer service here and will be returning.
Fantastic experience: Great spot! Got my nose piercing changed out there. Quick and had a great variety of jewelry. Even offered to order me a ring I was looking for but couldn’t find. Definitely return.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful family owned establishment. Very friendly answered all my questions about getting my nose pierced; got some great new nose pieces. Eddy was great at making sure my additional nose piercing was symmetrical to my current one and good conversation and aftercare. I would definitely recommend to anyone local or out of towner.
Fantastic experience: Shayna is the best one to go to! She is very experienced, and is very kind and knowledgeable. I’d only ask for Shayna for piercings! She is the best .
Fantastic experience: Shayna is the best piercer. I was nervous but she walked me through the process and made me feel comfortable with the impending needle going through my ears!
Fantastic experience: My absolute favorite piercing shop in the Pinellas County / Tampa Bay area! They are knowledgeable, patient, and so comforting while doing the piercings. The space always feels clean, professional & welcoming. Billy & Bella are the best & I couldn't recommend them enough! Plus they have the cutest gold jewelry that you can't find anywhere else :) I have trusted them to do multiple piercings for me & have loved each and every one of them!
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about my piercer. Shayna she was insanely knowledgeable, confident, and clearly passionate about what she does From the first conversation, I felt completely at ease she explained the process step by step, checked in with me constantly, and made sure the placement was exactly what I wanted. Her precision and steady hand were next-level, I swear I didn’t even feel it and you could tell she mastered her craft. The whole experience felt personal, professional, and genuinely comforting love a girls girl Not just someone who pierces people, but she’s a person who truly cares about her clients and her art. I’d trust her with any piercing, any time only will go and see her only wanna be pierced by her ! And she’s such a vibeeeeeeeeeee.
Fantastic experience: Monique’s is the only place that my family and I will go to for any tattoo or piercing services. All of the staff is absolutely incredible, friendly, helpful, As well as professional. The owner Billy is One of the kindest humans I’ve ever met and all his years of experience are truly unmatched. We also saw Bella for a piercing, and she is very professional and sweet and has a very helpful and calming demeanor!
Fantastic experience: I had a cover-up tattoo by JD. He is very professional and made sure my experience was a comfortable one. Everyone I encountered here treated me kindly and with respect. And most of all, I love my new tattoo!
Fantastic experience: We took my 5 month old daughter here to her ears pierced and as a first time girl dad, I was extremely nervous but the owner Billy took amazing care of us and not only gave my daughter her piercings without any issues, but was very empathetic to my nervousness and was able to help me feel confident and comfortable. There is absolutely no better place to take your kids for their first piercing.
Thank you ❤️
Fantastic experience: JD does amazing work! He did a tattoo for me a few years ago, so when I wanted a very important one done, I immediately got ahold of him. He did not disappoint with this one!! The pawprint is exactly like my deceased pup's pawprint that was made just before she was cremated. This was a such an important memorial to my best friend, and JD totally nailed it! He was also very respectful and compassionate regarding my grief. I highly recommend JD and Monique's. The shop is super nice and super clean.
Fantastic experience: I stopped by for a walk-in and got an amazing piece done by JD. I highly recommend getting tattoos here. Very clean facilities and friendly&respectful staff. :)
Fantastic experience: Got two piercings from Bella and she did SUCH a great job. She was so sweet and walked me through the whole process. It was so quick and painless I would definitely recommend her!!!
Fantastic experience: I recently visited Monique’s Tattoo & Body Art in Clearwater for a daith piercing, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Billy handled the piercing with incredible skill — it was fast, smooth, and virtually painless. His professionalism and calm demeanor made the entire experience easy and comfortable. The shop itself is spotless and well-maintained, giving off a clean and welcoming vibe the moment you walk in. It’s clear that they take hygiene and customer care very seriously. After this experience, I can honestly say I’ll never go anywhere else — and I’ll be sending all my family and friends to Monique’s from now on. Highly recommend Billy and the team for anyone looking for quality work done by true professionals.
Fantastic experience: Billy did an amazing job with my piercing. Professional by far. Go see him
Fantastic experience: Billy and his staff are incredible, well trained and professional. Best place in the Bay Area!!
Fantastic experience: Came to Monique's a while ago to have Billy re-pierce another shop's crooked job. Other people told me the first piercing looked fine and to leave it, but it bothered me. Billy actually listened to me and saw what I was seeing, explained how he was going to fix it, and now it's perfect. I'll definitely go back to him if I want anything else done.
Fantastic experience: This is the only place to go for piercings and tattoos. I have 3 daughters and brought each of them here at 15 when they asked for belly button piercings and the oldest two have both had tattoos done here. I've even had 2 piercings here, the one to help with migraine headaches, twice. I also got the inside of my wrist tattooed. Billy and his entire staff are so professional, the parlor is spotless but also decorated really fun! We've been customers for over 20 years and wouldn't think of going anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: I got my belly button pierced here today! I’m so happy with it! Billy is so kind and reassuring which is important because I practically had a panic attack at the last minute. He was completely professional and calm which was exactly what i needed. Thank you Billy! You are the Best!
Fantastic experience: I have been a customer at Moniques and a client of Billy's since the late 90s. I have been patronizing Moniques for short of 30 years. My piercings tell that story of longevity. If you're looking for a professional, knowledgeable, friendly, warm, consistent, and sterile environment, all while you feel as if you're sitting at home, Moniques is the right place for you.
Thank you so much for your continued support and for taking the time to leave us such a kind review. We appreciate you so much!
Negative experience: READ BEFORE GOING: If you’re a teenage/young adult female, do not go to Monique’s. I’ve gone twice for two different piercings and both times Billy (the piercer) was very creepy towards me. The first time I went I was 18, 2nd time 19. He made some very uncomfortable comments and one time he was basically sitting on my knee (my knee was inbetween his legs in a very odd way) which was quite uncomfortable for me because he is a man, put two and two together there. I’ve had multiple friends go there with extremely similar experiences. He also made creepy comments when I came here with my ex boyfriend awhile ago.

Fantastic experience: Isabella is amazing! Super courteous and helpful explaining everything.
Thank you very much!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing place! Bella and Billy are invaluable and personable. This has definitely been the best piercing experience I've ever had!
Thank you so very much! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: got my dahlias and cheeks done by Billy as well as a sick tattoo done by JD would def reccomend
Thank you
Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for the real deal in the Bay, let me put you on game—Monique’s Body Art at 1861 Gulf to Bay Blvd in Clearwater is that spot. Took the wife in to grab a fresh stud for her lip piercing, and from the second we walked in, the vibe was on point. The shop is spotless, bright with natural light pouring in, and the atmosphere just hits different—warm, inviting, and full of that old-school tattoo parlor soul that only comes with decades in the game. Now let me give props where they’re due—Billy and Bella were absolute rockstars. Five-star service, top-notch professionalism, and conversation so good you forget you’re there for a piercing. They made the whole process smooth and easy, keeping it professional while still making us feel like we were hanging out with family. That’s rare these days, and it’s exactly why shops like this stay around while others fade out. Here’s the kicker—this shop isn’t some overnight, pop-up, fly-by-night hype train. Nah. 30+ years in the Tampa Bay area means they’ve been putting in that blood, ink, and sweat equity day in and day out. That kind of longevity doesn’t happen unless you’re doing something right—and Monique’s Body Art has been doing it right since day one. From piercings to tattoos, this is the PLACE TO BE if you want quality work, professionalism, and a crew that actually gives a damn about you and your experience. Whether you’re chasing new ink or just getting your “stabby stabby” fix, you can bet Monique’s is gonna treat you like family and send you out looking sharp. Clearwater’s got plenty of shops, but there’s only one OG shop that’s stood tall for three decades plus. Monique’s Body Art isn’t just a place to get pierced or tattooed—it’s a landmark. Respect to the whole crew for keeping the culture alive and thriving. Bottom line? If you ain’t been, you’re missing out. This shop’s got history, heart, and hustle—and that’s why it’ll always be the spot.
Thank you for your kind, meaningful words. We appreciate you taking the time to share this review so very much.
Fantastic experience: Even though I have a lot of piercings I’ve waited 7 years to get my brow done and I’m so happy the universe had me wait because Shayna was perfect and professional in the bestest of ways ❤️❤️ 20/10 recommend
Fantastic experience: Brought my daughter for a nose piercing. Shayna did a great job! She picked the perfect spot. She was very kind and helped my daughter feel very comfortable because she was nervous. I would highly recommend her.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience getting my conch piercing with Shayla. She was professional, friendly, and made me feel completely comfortable. The shop is beautiful and has a welcoming vibe. The jewelry selection was amazing with plenty of stylish options at great prices. Shayla’s skill and care made the process easy and I love how my piercing turned out. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Cleanest shop. Best jewelry and piercings. Will forever get any piercings here and refer all friends and family. Bella Billy and Shay are all so gentle and do an amazing job see ya next week!
Fantastic experience: Bella was incredibly kind and helpful with my service today! Shop is well lit, kept, and very clean. Monique’s Body Art is the place to go!!
Fantastic experience: Amazing shop! I just recently pierced my septum out of the country and my jewelry broke. I found Moniques on google and called to ask if they would be able to assist me with a replacement. Billy and his daughter were able to help me switch out my jewelry(which I read was handmade by Billy himself, beautiful pieces), so quick and easy! Affordable and they were extremely kind. Told all my friends and family about my experience, will definitely be back for more piercings! Appreciate you guys thank you!
Fantastic experience: I just had my conch pierced by Bella and she was absolutely wonderful! Quick, easy and knowledge
Fantastic experience: Bella and Billy are so personable and make you feel like family when getting any new jewls. They make the experience so fun, and talk you through every step, they are also so proactive and answer any question you may have ! So thankful to have found piercers like them!
Fantastic experience: We took my daughter here to get her ears pierced about a month ago, and it was a fantastic experience. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and they seemed genuinely excited to help my daughter get her first piercings done. And the lady who pierced her ears was super patient and did an amazing job, it was so fast and (per my kid) barely hurt at all! I would absolutely recommend Monique's for piercings, you guys did a fantastic job!
Fantastic experience: I came into Monique’s as a walk in to get my 3rd loves pierced and swap out jewelry in my rook. My piercer was Shayna and she was incredible. I was tossing around the idea of also getting my conch but was so scared of the pain. I talked with Shayna about it and she educated me on the pain levels but at the same time was never pushy about it. I ended up getting it also and am so happy I did. It has the cutest piece of jewelry in it and I’m obsessed with how it all came together. I then had to message her a question about it and she got right back to me! Definitely would recommend anyone looking for a piercing to stop in here
Fantastic experience: Shayna went above and beyond to keep my daughter comfortable while she got her ears pierced! Thank you so much, she loves them!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love my new piercing from the best there is! The cleanest most inviting shop and friendly and patient team. Bella did my flat and it is the most beautiful thing I didn’t know I needed this vacation!!! 10/10 recommend. Do not go anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Went for their 30th anniversary and got myself another kitty tattoo by Grace! She is so sweet and welcoming. I’ll be back again :)
Fantastic experience: My brother and I came here for our first tats together after I got my nose pierced here a few years ago and both services were INCREDIBLE! So happy with the results and Grace made our first tats super special:)
Fantastic experience: Billy is absolutely AMAZING! This business is professional and clean! Bella is super friendly and is a great smiling face! Thank you for everything!
Fantastic experience: I came here for a second nostril piercing. I can not recommend this shop enough. Bella was AMAZING, she communicated every step of the way. She was so quick I didn’t even realize she was finished before I could blink. I will be coming back to see her again! Highly recommend her!
Fantastic experience: We took my daughter to here to get her ears pierced for her 9th birthday. She has a history of being overly dramatic around needles. That was not an issue here because Bella was outstanding! Bella was extremely friendly, patient, and supportive. Her demeanor and skill made this a very positive memory for my daughter that she will keep with her for a very long time. Thank you Bella and thank you Monique’s!
Fantastic experience: Took my daughter here to get her ears pierced for her birthday. Bella did her piercing and was so kind and knowledgeable, she helped ease my daughter’s nerves and gave her a great experience.
Fantastic experience: First time here and the guy that did my septum piercing did a really good job, I wish I remembered his name! One of the balls to my piercing had fallen off the same day that I got the piercing and I went back the next day and he was able to put another one back on without any issues.
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing experience at Monique’s getting and planning the look of my piercings with Bella the piercing stylist. She was quick, thorough and comforting throughout the whole process. Love that they will pierce with gold. The owners Billy and Monique are so welcoming and fun! If you are looking for the years of experience, cleanliness and great energy, I would highly recommend coming to Monique’s! I’ll be back for my next one
Fantastic experience: This establishment is different from most other body modification places ive experienced simply due to how welcoming everyone is. Some shops Ive personally experienced in the past wernt as hospitable. Moniques is family owned and incredibly inviting. The space is well maintained and clean. The jewelry selection is one of the best in the area with super cute options that include GOLD (upgrade) as well. Which is awesome if you prefer gold. The staff is calm, professional, and knowledgeable. Ive had 3 piercing so far (conch, trag, flat) and they all healed perfect and zero issues with jewelry quality. I have and will continue to recommend Moniques to friends and family.
Fantastic experience: I took my daughter to get her ears pierced & we specifically went here to see Billy. From the time we walked in until we left we had a great experience. The front desk helped us pick out earrings. And Billy was great, he was so knowledgeable and walked us through the care & the process of what he was doing. He was also great with our baby. 10/10 would go here again, and would suggest anyone looking to get their infants ears pierced to go to Billy. He made us feel less stressed out about the process and comfortable. He also switched out some of my ear rings & again he was quick, friendly and personable.
Fantastic experience: The ladies were so patient with me, I came in unsure about a daith piercing and instead I got my dream nose piercing. They are so informative and helpful and I didn't feel rushed at all, what an amazing expirience!
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much! We had our twin daughters get their ears pierced and couldn't be more thankful for this experience thank you Billy, Bella and Monique! You guys are the absolute best!!
Fantastic experience: Just had my conch and tragus pierced by Shayna and I cannot recommend her enough. She made me feel soo comfortable, couldn't have been sweeter, and is excellent at what she does. My anxiety was through the roof and she completely calmed me down. Please go see Shayna for piercings!
Fantastic experience: The piecer who did my bellybutton piercing was super sweet and nice! 10 out of 10! I would definitely recommend!
Positive experience: I was hesitant to leave a review, but I hope it helps another parent. I brought my excited but nervous 6-year-old in to get her ears pierced due to Billy being highly recommended. The front desk staff wasn’t rude, but offered minimal interaction—which felt a bit odd, especially for a nervous child in a tattoo shop setting. My daughter initially decided not to go through with it after talking with just the front desk girl. Once we got home, she changed her mind and we returned later. The piercer was kind and very patient (really, this review in no way reflects negatively on her). When my daughter hesitated after seeing the needle, there was some back and forth to see what she wanted to do. During this time, the front desk worker came back and mouthed "she's not ready"—which felt unnecessary and unhelpful as we had 2 adults in the room who were capable of working through that in the best interest of my child and in the best interest of what the piercer felt comfortable with at this point. We had been referred specifically to Billy (who seems to be the go-to for kid piercings based on reviews), and I regret not waiting for him. I can’t say for sure that it would’ve made a difference, but based on the reviews maybe it would have at least felt less awkward? I’m not quite sure if that’s the right word… Going into this, I didn’t know how my daughter would react once it came time—she was genuinely excited, though she doesn’t like needles. Normally, if she commits to something, she follows through. This just didn’t feel like the right environment to take a kiddo to and “see how it goes” and I regret this was the experience she will think about when deciding if/when she wants to try again. All this to say, if you have a kiddo and are scrolling through reviews as I was a couple days ago…give yourself your best shot and wait for Billy.
Fantastic experience: BILLY. IS. AH-MAZING. We came in for piercings and had the BEST experience. Bella is your best hype girl. I’m all about cleanliness.. and they are Top Notch! I would recommend them no matter how many miles you have to travel to get to them! THANK YALL SO MUCH!!!! From, your NC girls
Fantastic experience: I don’t typically leave reviews; however, we had a great piercing experience. Billy if I recall his name correctly was SPOT on with placement of our helix and septum piercings. Can’t attest to tattoos as we’ve not had any there, but may change that soon. Definitely would recommend checking out though for sure.
Fantastic experience: Billy is an amazing piercer and definitely a people’s person! I got my nose piercing a couple months ago with Billy then had it fall out overnight. I called the shop the moment they opened and was told to come in no questions asked that I would be helped out, even with an irritation bump. Entering the shop, and greeted by Billy to then get started on putting the piercing back in. He adjusted the jewelry to fit and not disturb the bump until it heals and gave tips to make it go away. Definitely felt like I wasn’t just a customer but actually helped and acknowledged to have a healthy piercing. Will be going back for more piercings soon
Fantastic experience: We came here for my daughters first ear piercing, I called ahead of time and Billy was very helpful, he recommended we get 5% lidocaine to put on her ears at least an hour before coming in to help with any potential pain. The shop was tidy, beautiful, and inviting. Those working were polite and helpful. I really appreciated that they had someone already there to sign for an affidavit since my daughter is a minor. Billy did a fantastic job doing the piercing, my daughter said it didn't even hurt! I also appreciated the helpfulness for aftercare. I would highly recommend coming here.
Fantastic experience: Billy was amazing!!! By far best piercing experience I’ve ever received. He made me and my friend feel comfortable and also provided different options for us because we were undecided on what we wanted. We will definitely be back and that’s all because of the great customer service we received from Billy.
Fantastic experience: Went in as a Walk-in right when they opened around 12:30 got piercings with a friend! We signed our papers, picked out jewelry and Shay did us both. She was so kind, patient with me as I wasn’t sure if I wanted to change my placement or not. But we weee in and out, super happy and will be asking for Shay next time!
Fantastic experience: Extremely happy with the tattoo Grace did on my ribs. This my first tattoo and I was extremely anxious however she recommend numbing cream beforehand and talked through it to ensure I was comfortable. Additionally, she gave me her phone number and was easy to reach for any follow up questions. Happy with the outcome!
Fantastic experience: After much research we decided to see Billy for my daughter’s first ear piercing. We had waited until she was old enough to make the decision and to follow the post care instructions. She was excited but really nervous. Billy did a great job of encouraging her and coaching her through the process. It was such a positive experience and one my daughter will remember for years to come. If you are looking for a place to bring your kiddo, I highly recommend seeing Billy.
Fantastic experience: I went to Monique's for a tattoo to memorialize a vacation my son, his girlfriend and I took to Clearwater last week. We went to see 3 Phillies spring training games. We each got a palm tree and I got the Phillies logo next to it. JD was wonderful...I gave him a rough idea and he designed the perfect tattoo for me. I would highly recommend JD as the perfect tattoo artist!
Fantastic experience: I’ve gone here for multiple piercings throughout the years and every time I go it’s always a great experience! My piercer today, Billy, was fantastic. I never leave unhappy :)
❤️
Fantastic experience: I was in town from out of state and accidentally pulled out a recent piercing. They were able to help right away and did a great job - very kind and welcoming! Highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: Took my daughter here for ear piercings for her 12th birthday. So very pleased with the service. The piercings are perfect, and are healing well. A perfect first time shop experience! Thank you!! :)
Fantastic experience: this was an amazing experience! JD was our artist today. my mom and i came in with a potential idea for a tattoo. he was open and honest about the realistic aspects of said idea. one of the best experiences i have had personally, and even better as it was my moms first tattoo ever! million times recommend JD as your next artist! hubby and i will definitely be going back :) art was amazing too, of course :)
Fantastic experience: Monique’s is the only piercing shop i will ever go to. Billy is the best at what he does and he really shows how much he cares for his customers and his work. wouldn’t go anywhere else!! i reccomend this place to everyone ik !
Fantastic experience: The last two times I’ve had grace do my tattoos at this shop. She has always exceeded my expectations! I can’t wait to get more beautiful work done by her. I recommend her to everyone.
Fantastic experience: I just got my Belly piercing done at Monique's by Billy, I was pretty nervous to get it done but I found myself saying "that's it?" He did a fantastic job, it was very fast and professional, thank you so much for your service Billy, I will definitely be back!
Fantastic experience: My 5 year old got her ears pierced today by Billy. 10/10 recommend he was so good! She already wants to go back for her birthday for second holes! Didn’t even say ouch! Please check this place out instead of going with the piercing guns!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for a few years and I have three piercings. Billy takes care of me so well, especially when I came in with an issue regarding my Medusa. He switched out my jewelry with no problem and gave me a beautiful nose ring. He has the magic touch. I will never stir you wrong and the prettiest story too. I will never go anywhere else. PS don’t cheat on your piercer.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Monique’s for nearly a decade, and it’s hands-down my favorite tattoo and piercing shop. Even after moving to Sarasota, I still make the drive to Clearwater because the service here is unmatched. Billy is an incredible skilled piercer who’s always willing to help me with jewelry changes, issues, or any questions I have. Shawna has also assisted me, and she was fantastic, extremely professional and helpful. The shop is always spotless and the atmosphere is welcoming. If you’re in Clearwater, skip the other places and go straight to Monique’s.
Fantastic experience: ive been here probably three times now. twice for simply a change of jewelry & once to get both sides of my nose pierced. & i must say the staff especially i believe the owner (i didnt catch his name unfortunately) is amazing. he’s super sweet & patient. i was trying to decided on the jewelry i wanted for my nose & he was super patient & showed me all the options i had. the jewelry is also very nice quality! he changed my jewelry for me as well & also was also helpful with telling me how to get rid of the little bump i had on my nose. i always recommend my friends to come here when theyre looking for a new piercing/jewelry. looking forward to coming back to get a chain for my noise piercings!
Fantastic experience: Billy's kindness and care hearing about his story of the shop and how he makes such beautiful piercing jewelry there was such a fun time. Highly recommend for any piercing experience :)
Fantastic experience: Billy is the man! Master of his craft. Warm, down-to-earth; knowledgable, efficient and competitive in pricing. Got nothing but good things to say about this establishment. Sam and Bella are also cool, kind, and helpful. Facility is clean and comfortable. What else is there to want? I recommend them to everyone and will most certainly be back. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: I went to have my Daith pierced on both ears for chronic migraines after trying everything including Botox treatments, with minimal results. After discussing it with my neurologist, & others who’ve had it done, I decided it couldn’t hurt to try it. Billy answered my questions, and put me at ease. He’s very knowledgeable, professional. Clean, & sanitary. I went in to have it done with a migraine. After the initial discomfort of the piercing wore off… my migraine was gone!!! So far I’m migraine free for 36 hours now which is huge for me. I highly recommend Billy for your piercing needs, and I will be returning soon for a new tattoo as well Thank you for great service and a wonderful experience Karen
Thank you for the feedback we appreciate
Fantastic experience: We brought our infant daughter in to get her ears pierced by Billy. We almost went to another shop until we saw how highly recommended he was in several Mom Facebook groups. For once, those Facebook groups were actually right! The entire shop, piercing room, and his procedures were very clean and sanitary. He was very quick with the piercing and putting the jewelry in. He waited patiently while we calmed her down in between ears and we never felt rushed. I had a question about the piercing the next day and he was extremely helpful! Billy is very professional and I can’t recommend him enough!
Thank you ❤️
Fantastic experience: Just had my daughter's ears pierced today... She's 6 months old & Billy did an amazing job! He was very fast and thorough on explaining everything. Very friendly staff & every clean inside. You can tell he specializes in doing baby piercings. Very pleased with the result.
Thank you

Fantastic experience: I am writing this review to share the remarkable experience I had at Moniques Body Art in Clearwater. Please read this somewhat lengthy review as there is a very special and rather unique ending. Twenty years ago, I had my naval pierced at this location. I did not tell my husband about my piercing plan, so when I returned home and told him what I had done, he actually grimaced! But once I showed him, he absolutely LOVED it! However, years later, I had to remove the jewelry due to surgery and the pierced hole closed up. Occasionally, over the years, my husband would suggest that I return to Moniques and have my naval re-pierced. Finally, a few months before our 30th wedding anniversary, he asked me again to have my naval pierced and to replicate the original jewelry piece that had a diamond at the top of the gold bar, and a ruby at the bottom. I promised him that I would do so after our 30th anniversary trip to Italy. Unfortunately, he became very ill while we were in Italy and he passed away a month after our return home. To honor my husband, the true love of my life, I decided I would keep my promise to him and have my naval pierced again. I went to see Billy, the owner of Moniques. He patiently listened to my many stories about my husband, and let me relive and share my memories. Billy understood how very important this piece of jewelry would be and he took great care to craft a masterpiece! Just as with the original jewelry from 20 years ago, there was a diamond at the top and a ruby at the bottom, but what made this truly special is that he placed some of my husband’s ashes beneath each stone and the gold bar was made from my husband’s wedding ring! Billy was so sweet and understood the sentiment...once he inserted the jewelry in my naval, he looked up towards the sky and said “this is for you, Michael” and saw my tears, and gave me a hug. This was a moment I will never forget. I now have a part of my husband in this piece of jewelry that will never leave my body. I thank Billy from the bottom of my heart.
Oh my goodness thank you so much. I am so glad I was part of this journey also for including me and trusting me with this, it was very touching, and I appreciate all the good memories you share with me. Thank you Helen ❤️❤️❤️ please stop by anytime and say hello
Fantastic experience: I have never gotten my nose pierced and the lady who did mine was the nicest, told me what she was gonna do, clean professional, and fast, it was over all a great experience! Two years later I went back and re-pierced my nose here they were so great the first time and great the second time as well! Went back again in 2024 to get my third hole done with my friend who got her helix done was lovely as always
That was Shayna ! She said thanks for the sweet review ! We agree!
Fantastic experience: I got my daith pierced by Shay today and I can’t say enough good things about her and this shop! This was a painful piercing and I wasn’t feeling well after but she took SUCH good care of me. I will recommend her to anyone now because of how kind she was and how clean the shop is.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: This place was highly recommended from the facebook mom groups for baby ear piercings! It is obviously a nerve-wracking experience to pierce your baby's ears, but Billy is AMAZING. You can tell that he has experience with this and enjoys what he does! Billy explained everything to us and guided us through the process. He guided my husband on ways to hold the baby during the piercings and it was super helpful. The process was quick. It took approximately ten minutes. I highly highly recommend Billy. He knows what he is doing!!
Thank you for your trust
Fantastic experience: Billy was awesome! I've gotten my septum pierced along with a surface bar sternum piercing. Great pricing, professional, clean and friendly! Definitely recommend this place! ☺️
Thank you
Fantastic experience: By far, the best place to go for your tattoos. JD is very skilled and was able to create a beautiful piece for me. Over the moon with what he was able to do in such a short time. Will be back to finish the rest of my arm! Shop was very clean and all the staff was very friendly.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Billy is the absolute best & the only person I trust to get piercings. He does a fantastic job at making you feel comfortable & obviously does a phenomenal job at piercings. I will always come to him! Thank you Billy!
❤️
Fantastic experience: Came here to get a matching tattoo with my best friend. Artist was very funny and made the whole experience overall enjoyable even though it was my first time getting a tattoo. Did a wonderful job and vibes were definitely good in the shop!
Thank you Lani
Fantastic experience: I kept hearing that this was the best place in Tampa Bay for babies to get their ears pierced. So we drove all the way from Wesley Chapel to Clearwater to take my 7 month old daughter to get her ears pierced. Billy was amazing! He’s so good with handling the little ones and does everything super quick. He did a great job and although our baby did cry, it wasn’t for long and nowhere as near as bad as I was expecting. As a tattoo artist myself I’m impressed that they were very professional and clean. Price was also fair and they can notarize there for the consent form required by the state for minors. Highly recommend to all parents as a great place to go for piercings. Just a heads up: They said it’s best to pierce baby’s ears from 3-8 months old and after that it’s not recommended until 6yo since babies after 8-9 months can mess with their ears and get them infected or pull them out, or just refuse to get the other side done. Our baby was a good age for it and did great, but I wish I would have went a bit sooner around 4 months before teething got bad. Highly recommend getting it over with sooner if you’re going to do it.
Ahh ❤️❤️ thank you guys did amazing as well
Fantastic experience: Had my daughter’s ears done today 4/10/24, as it was her 8 month old birthday. Billy was great! We drove all the way from Pasco County and I’m sure glad we did. Very professional! Highly recommend.
Thank you for trusting us with your baby ❤️
Fantastic experience: The only place we will go for piercings. Billy is amazing! We have had other piercers and let me tell you what Billy is the best! If you can get him to pierce you you need to! I got a conch piercing and my daughter got a tragus piercing in both ears today. Zero pain-free! And ask for the upgraded heads on them!!!! All of her other piercings except for her bottom and triple lobe have been done by him
Thank you so very much
Negative experience: My family and I were on vacation in Clearwater visiting our aunt. We decided we wanted a little memorable tattoo and our seconds for our ears pierced. We called Monique’s and they stated they could do tattoos on the 3 of us. My sister is only 16, they said they have notary there. We were very excited. When we walked in we were greeted by a girl at the front counter, she had called over for one of the tattoo artist, who was just sitting on the couch. He came over to talk to us. We said that we just wanted a little tattoo. He asked how big and I showed him. His response “that’s a little bit bigger than little”. (Below is about how big we wanted our little heart tattoo) I was not impressed with the attitude given. He then asked where we wanted them. My sister and I wanted them on our sides by our ribs. He looked at us and shook his head no, then proceeded to look at my sister and ask if it was her first tattoo which it was. He told her “that is the most sensitive spot for a tattoo.” Which may be true, but plenty of people get their first tattoos there with no problem especially with it being so little. He said he didn’t feel comfortable tattooing a 16 year old in that area. Which is also fine. Overall the guy was very rude and we were thankful he ended up saying no. I highly recommend not going to this tattoo shop as he was very rude.
Good afternoon. This is Billy, the owner of Monique’s Body Art. Firstly, I would like to apologize for the inconvenience that you experienced at our business that day and that we couldn’t provide you with the service that you wanted. We pride ourselves on our 30 years of customer satisfaction. However, it is ultimately up to the discretion of the artist to tattoo a (16 year old) minor ; especially because the placement she requested was around the breast area, which is a more sensitive, harder to tolerate area. My artist did offer multiple other suggestions and tried to accommodate you and your family to the best of our ability, however our offers were declined. We do understand that it can be frustrating when you are unable to receive the exact piece you want, but here at Monique’s, we stand by our ethics, value, and giving our clients the best experience and providing them with artwork that they will be satisfied with and that will last a lifetime. If you would like to reconsider our business, please call the shop and ask for Billy. Thank you for your feedback.
Fantastic experience: My son, sister, niece and I walked in to this place to all get tattoos. We were greeted and helped by Sam, she was welcoming and knowledgeable. 4 people walking in to a place with 3 of us never having tattoos can be overwhelming. She did not seem overwhelmed at all! Billy the tattoo artist did all of our tattoos back to back and we all had a great experience and love our tattoos! Great Vibe…everyone was super friendly!! Would definitely recommend this place!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you
Fantastic experience: went in yesterday to get my back dermals pierced. it was great! Billy is the name of the man who took care of me. He was very professional and kind. he took all my nerves away. I could tell he has a lot of experience in this field. I was recommended to him by my friend and i am so glad that I listened. his sense of humor is also fantastic. if you want back dermals definitely go see Billy!! The piercing was intense but quick! he provided instructions on how to take of them as well.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: My ear lobes have been pierced since 1976 and one closed 8 months ago. Billy came highly recommended; I definitely also recommend him for his professionalism, skill, knowledge, sense of humor, and integrity. Felt comfortable the moment I met him.
Thank you we really appreciate you feed back
Fantastic experience: Thank you JD McGowan - he did a great job on my Snoopy and Woodstock tattoo. He took the time to meet with me prior to doing the tattoo to discuss what I wanted and created a beautiful tattoo that represents my love for Snoopy and included colors to represent my twin girls! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!
Thank you
