I visited Exclusive Ink to get both of my tragus piercings done. Alaric was nice and friendly, and…read morebased on the prep and aftercare instructions he provided, I assumed he was knowledgeable. I believe he mentioned he had been piercing for over a year. Fast forward almost six months later, and my tragus piercings still have not healed. While the swelling improved, they remained very irritated and would still bleed. I initially assumed it was from my hair getting caught or accidentally bumping them. Recently, I decided to have the jewelry changed and went to Studs in San Jose. The piercer there informed me that the jewelry that was used was not the correct one for the type of piercing. She mentioned most piercings should have straight posts, not curved ones like the ones that were used. I was also told the earrings were not hypoallergenic and that titanium or gold is typically recommended for new piercings. Learning this was extremely frustrating, especially after dealing with discomfort and slow healing for months. Unfortunately, due to this experience, I will not be returning and would not recommend this shop for piercings.

If you…read moreare reading this review I will assume you are a serious tattoo aficionado who respects/appreciates a true artist. Everyone has their personal opinion about tattoos. And if you are a person reading reviews of tattoo artists hoping to find a person to trust with putting art on your body that is permanent I can't recommend enough the value of coming to this studio to see Marlo. She is a true artist. Tattooing to me should represent a spiritual experience with the artist. Trust in them to put on your body a piece of art that fits you. Something that matches your unique life and personality. Well, Marlo does all that. No stencils. Just free drawing an extension of my heart onto my body to remind me of my strength and resilience. She told me more meanings and I was absolutely touched at the insight she had into me as a woman. She created a visual representation that is so beautiful. Does getting a tattoo hurt? Yes. Of course it does. But Marlo is an amazingly caring professional and will stop as needed to check in on you and take breaks if necessary. But don't go into it thinking it isn't going to hurt. That is just silly. Some parts hurt less than others of course and everyone has their pain tolerance. But be realistic peeps, come on now! Be safe and enjoy life! SYOY!

I am beyond HAPPY and in LOVE with my tattoo!!…read more Marlo is welcoming, professional, and clearly extremely passionate about her art work. She genuinely took the time to make you feel comfortable and safe. She understood exactly what I wanted and what I wanted it to represent, and executed the design flawlessly! Her line work and shading are top-tier, and hygiene standards were excellent! Earthbound Tattoo brings on good and positive vibes, and is great with communication! If you're looking for a skilled, reliable tattoo artist, she is the one for you! Marlo - I am so honored to have the privilege to get this beautiful art piece from you! You and Le are genuinely great people! Keep doing what you both are excellent at! Aloha & Mahalo! 'til next time

First of all I totally agree with the review left by Julia R. on 4-4-25 because that was our…read moreexperience pretty much. Here's my review You Get What You Pay For... But Sometimes You Don't I don't usually post reviews, but after my recent tattoo experience, I wanted to share a few lessons I learned. Looking back, there were several warning signs I should have paid more attention to: unclear pricing, questions about deposits, limited availability for follow-up consultations, and concerns about the healing process and final appearance of the tattoo. My biggest takeaway is simple: trust your instincts. If something doesn't feel right, ask questions, slow the process down, or walk away. A lost deposit is far less costly than being unhappy with a permanent tattoo. There are many talented artists in our community. Take the time to research their work, meet with them, discuss your expectations, and make sure you're comfortable before committing. Don't settle for the first available appointment or the easiest option. Find an artist whose work, communication, and professionalism give you complete confidence. Personally, I have chosen to have my tattoo reworked by another artist who came highly recommended. The difference in consultation, communication, and overall experience has confirmed that finding the right artist is worth the extra time and effort. A tattoo is forever. Choose the artist you would trust without hesitation, and don't move forward until you're certain you've found the right fit.

Brian communicated well with me and i was able to get an appointment. He was very nice and understanding when i mentioned that i was a bit nervous. He told me when to breathe in and breathe out, and i am sure this was the reason why the piercing did not hurt. I give the pain a five out of 10 and it hurt less than my second lobe piercing. I payed $60 in total which included my change to a gold bar. i went back after the swelling went down and Brian changed my bar to a shorter one. Amazing customer service and I 100% recommend this place. I will definitely be coming back in the future.
