i have been thinking of getting an industrial piercing for a long time but did not know where to go. i found creative visions and i made my appointment through the website. 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. read more

Went super well! I called to inquire about getting my septum peirced and was able to walk in right away. Brian was super informative and chill with the whole procedure. It was nice and easy, thank you so much Brian! Recommend this place for piercings :) read more

Just a heads up that Creative Vision had moved to Seaside! The new location is 1976 Fremont Blvd and tucked away in a corner on the second floor above State Farm. If you have trouble finding the shop call when you arrive and they will help you get in! My friend and I went to Creative Visions for ear lobe piercings. Lobe piercings are $50 for a pair (including earrings ((: ). There was a good selection to choose from with the flat and butterfly backing. Even though I was scared at first, I felt more comfortable as we started talking. The entire process was really quick and took less than twenty minutes for the both of us. Brian was informative with the after care process to clean the piercing. He was really helpful by making himself available to reach out in case we had any questions in the future. Definitely recommend Brian if you're ever looking to get a piercing (: read more

Thanks so much Brian!! I couldn't have gone to anyone better tbh. I went to CV a few days ago to get my nose pierced, he was super quick and the piercing was painless! I didn't have any pain during or even afterwards. I was expecting maybe some swelling or pain within the next few days but nope! This is the best experience I've ever had. If you're thinking of getting a piercing THIS IS YOUR PLACE!!! The facility was also handicap friendly for all my peeps out there on walkers, he was really understanding and accommodating. read more

They are never open and Yelp says they are open, but they are not open. It's very misleading very disturbing and frustrating. This is the third time I've come to this place and it's closed. read more

Wonderful service and great prices! Very easy to get an appointment. I highly recommend Creative Visions! read more

I've had many piercings before but was really nervous to bite the bullet and get my nips pierced, especially because it was a more private area. Thanks to Brian at Creative Visions, I had a super pleasant experience and I cannot wait to show everyone my tatas! He was super respectful and professional throughout the whole experience, answering my plethora of questions and making me feel comfortable about all of my concerns. The shop provides a super calm and mellow vibe, immediately putting you at ease the moment you walk through the door. Great experience overall and I'd recommend anyone to get their next (or first) piercing here! read more

Brian was so great! He pierced my cartilage and did an amazing job. It was clean and quick. I would 10/10 recommend him.

I called and was able to schedule an appointment that afternoon. I met up with Brian, who is just currently doing piercings at the moment, and was totally accommodating to my pain level and my talkativeness. I felt really safe at the new location and he was just a great guy in general. The piercing is high-quality, and it barely hurt during the whole process. I made sure to leave a good tip! I hope your new location works out! (The photo attached is this is a picture of my current piercing, which has the flower, and the piercing I received by Brian, which is the small diamond.) read more

Called about getting my conch jewelry downsized and they told me to come in the next day, no appointment needed. Even though I didn't get my piercing there they replaced my jewelry for free! The shop was clean and everyone there was kind and respectful. read more

Great shop! Reasonable prices for jewelry and very kind, knowledgeable people. I very highly recommend this shop for piercing needs.

I have a long way to go on a massive back piece that I started 4 years ago.. and I'm so glad that I'm able to work with Sean. Funny thing is that the back piece is a cover up of a tattoo I had done at Creative Visions about 16 years ago. Not covering up because the work was bad- it just isn't me anymore. Anywho! I knew about Sean a long time ago from a friend who got some work by him but never had the privilege of getting tattooed by him. His set up is great- he has virtually every source available for movies/tv to keep you distracted. (I opted to start watching Sopranos for the 6th time). More importantly his hand is not heavy. It's a tattoo so obviously it's going to hurt but this one didn't (as much). I'm so happy with the results and I can't wait to see what he does with the rest of the piece! *please note that the outlines of my tattoo were done by another artist* read more

I didn't have an appointment but got taken as a walk in . Got my piercings done super quick and with hardly any pain .

Made an appointment to get my septum pierced, Brian was very responsive very quickly so it was no problem getting an appointment. The day of I walked in and Brian had everything set up & ready. He showed me the starter jewelry, started explaining, and was very informative! He made the whole process so easy & comfortable. My septum piercing was practically painless. Would definitely recommend getting all your piercings done here! read more

The initial scheduling: Brian and I talked over the phone and Brian was able to see me the same day! Brian was super friendly! The Spot: There new location is upstairs and the first left after using the stairs. Piercing: Brian listened to what I needed, B showed me choices and then off we went for my nose and ear piercing. I would definitely come here again! Very Clean, professional, and just damn great service! read more

I can't say enough nice things about the piercer here. I tried going to a place in Salinas just to replace my nose ring. He was so high he couldn't even get it in and it was super painful. I came here and this guy actually knows what he's doing, super gentle. Professional, clean and very friendly! If you need a replacement or looking to pierce something this is definitely the place to go! read more

Brian pierced my 8 year old daughter's ears today. He was wonderful! He was so calm and patient with her fears , as well as her ears! 5 stars to Brian at Creative Visions! read more

Brain is the best piercer I've ever met! I got my ear pierced and it doesn't hurt at all. Brian is kind, patient, and really polite. Will come back for sure in the future! read more

We came in with a group wanting various piercings. Brian was very nice and friendly. Super clean environment! Brian gave us his contact information if we had any questions and told us to call or email him anytime. The prices were normal. All in all I would 100% recommend going here! We are from out of town but I would not mind going back for other piercings. Everything was well explained and they were patient with everyone. We didn't feel rushed. It was a wonderful experience. Piercings we received: industrial, eyebrow, ear lobes, nose read more

I went in and got my ears pierced for the first time. My piercers name is Brian and he is awesome! He talked me through everything, it was a very speedy and friendly service. He did a follow up text to check how they're holding up. He even mailed me a new set of earrings after one of mine got lost in the shower. I'm so happy my friends recommended this place. Thanks, Brian! read more

So I was in town and looked at the yelps on this place and there was one tattoo portrait of a dog that Raphael had done that I liked and I knew I wanted him to do mine. I had just lost my best friend of 14 years and wanted to get a tattoo of him. Thanks Raphael. I'll be back read more

My roommate and got pierced last night. Brian was SO friendly and welcoming. Not only did he get both of our nipple piercings done quickly, but we didn't feel rushed and I've never felt so comfortable with a piercer. Not only was he was very professional, answered all of our but his personality put us both at ease. Next day and there's very little pain. It's merely slightly uncomfortable on occasion. I'd say I've forgotten it's there but I'm way too happy with it to forget! I'll be coming back here for every piercing and recommending all of my friends and clients to this shop. read more

Amazing! Super easy and quick. He was super organized and incredibly detailed. He was very patient and responsive. He did an amazing job, and we are very picky. Thank you so much! read more

I've been to their new Seaside location for two appointments now and both times have been so great! I got my nose pierced and second ear lobe piercings done by Brian who was so patient and kind. He's very professional and let me know about the aftercare and paid attention to making me feel comfortable with the whole process. The whole studio was very clean and sanitary. Overall, I can't recommend him enough! I'll definitely go back soon!! read more

He did a great job with mine, my sister's, and my mom's double piercings. He was extremely patient while we decided on the placement of the piercings, and made sure to mark the spots on our ears until we were satisfied. I definitely recommend this place for piercings! read more

Raphael is amazing! I am blown away by the tattoo and couldn't be happier!! I called weeks in advance to schedule my tattoo with him. He got it done in about 2 hours at a super reasonable price. It barely hurt because he has such a light touch and is such a pro. It's healed and perfect. The work speaks for itself... the pic doesn't do the detail justice. I can't wait to come back to him for my next tattoo. My experience was 10/10. You can trust Raphael with your tattoos! In my opinion, #1 tattoo artist in Monterey Bay! read more

Really appreciated Brian for piercings. Very professional, kind, patient, just an overall great experience. Clean shop. They moved from the Lighthouse address, and are located at 1976 Fremont Suite D in Seaside. Have to walk around the back and up the stairs. Def recommend for piercings. read more

Brian was great! My sister and I went in for piercings and he was so helpful and informative. Made us feel very comfortable in their new location in seaside. Definitely recommend, great customer service!! read more

My sister and I both got our ears pierced at the new seaside location with Brian earlier this week, and he was awesome! Cool guy, totally professional and made the whole process super simple! For the piercing on both ears and jewelry it was $50. My sister bought an additional pair of earrings for another $25 and he was even able to remove her old earrings and put the new ones in, no problem! Then to top it off, my sister's new piercing got yanked out the next day during her hair appointment and lost the earring. :( She was able to text Brian to come in the next day and get it replaced, but since he ran out of her original jewelry, he hooked her up with a different temporary pair at no extra charge! He told her he would have some more shipped in next week and he'd reach out when she could come in to pick them up. Love how accommodating and helpful he was! Thanks Brian!! read more

Been here a couple times, mainly for piercings before Cody got his own piercing shop. Came in on a Tuesday afternoon on a whim, looking for a simple tattoo, and could not be happier with the end result! Raphael took me right away, and after looking at a few (crappy) pictures of what I wanted, he went right to work sketching away. He showed me his rough sketch and I knew I was in good hands. After repositioning it a few times (I'm a tad picky), and without any gripes or attitude, we decided on a great location for my new ink, and he went to town. He's a fast, efficient artist, and I was blown away at how soft he worked. I have a fairly low pain tolerance, and other than a couple spots right on my collarbone, I barely could tell there was any needle work. After only 40 minutes, I was done, and in love with my new skyline of Yosemite with Half Dome. I teared up because it was far more perfect than I could've ever imagined. Thank you so much! read more

My boyfriend got his most recent tattoo here in December (see Flying Hellfish photo). Raph was awesome, really listened to what he wanted, was extremely careful and detailed. Even though he went over his original 2 hour quote, he didn't charge any extra. His work came out sharp and the color is excellent. We had come on a pretty busy Saturday and they took a phone # and called us as soon as someone was available, maybe 2 - 3 hours later. read more

Brian did my double helix about 4 weeks ago. He was very friendly and made me feel comfortable the entire time. The process was quick and easy. The piercing itself didn't hurt too bad and I really appreciated that he made sure that I was okay the entire time. Waiting for it to heal has been the hard part. Mostly because I sleep on my right side and I got the piercings done on my right ear; woke up one morning with my ear hella irritated because I rolled over to my right side in my sleep. All in all it has been a very pleasant experience. I can't wait to go back him to get the rest of my piercings done! read more

Great place for piercings! The shop was a little hard to find, but I got my septum pierced there a while back, and the piercer was quick, efficient, and kind. The prices are also really good, easily 20 dollars cheaper than most places. Would definitely recommend. read more

I am a middle aged woman, and received my first tattoo here. The experience was very good, and I would recommend this place to others. I saw Raphael, he listened to me, and gave me a tattoo that went well beyond anything I could have imagined. I got my tattoo two days ago and the photo I included was taken yesterday. read more
