She assured me it would stay in, it didn't. After surgery, I went back with my own jewelry, thinking how hard can it be to put this jewelry in? She couldn't. Chari broke my own reserve spacer trying to get it out, , then fiddled around, finally putting a spacer so big my nose bled for a couple of hours. She also told me I had "cheap jewelry"....my jewelry is 18K gold. Not cheap. I try to buy local. But in this case, I would warn you to stick to the professionals.

Kristina is hands down the BEST! We decided to do a walk-in, and the wait was surprisingly short…read more From the moment we walked in, she made us feel so welcomed. Her studio is spotless, beautifully set up, and such a vibe, it's the kind of place where you instantly feel comfortable and relaxed. Kristina is one of the sweetest, most down to earth people you'll ever meet. She genuinely cares about her clients and takes the time to make sure everyone feels comfortable throughout the entire experience. Her assistant was just as amazing! They constantly checked on us, made sure we had drinks, and even offered us candy, which was such a thoughtful touch. We came in as a group, and Kristina handled all of us with so much patience, professionalism, and care. She made the experience fun while still being incredibly knowledgeable and making sure everything was done safely and correctly. You can tell she truly loves what she does, and it shows in her work and how she treats her clients. Whether you're looking to get a piercing or tooth gems, Kristina is 100% the person to go to. She goes above and beyond to make sure you leave happy, comfortable, and excited about your new look. I can't recommend her enough, 10/10 experience from start to finish. We'll definitely be back!

Beautiful, thorough and her area was also immaculate. She explained the entire process regarding my Septum piercing. It was pretty much painless and the aftercare instructions leave no stone unturned. They address pretty much anything that may come up with the healing process. I've had many piercings and I must say, this was the best experience I've ever had! I definitely highly recommend Tina. She is the absolute best!!

Okay If you're looking for someone who saved my nipples from being a total disaster go see Shorty…read moreshe is the best The shop was nice good vibes. I went in shaking and honestly. I already had an infection from a botched job somewhere else plus a not so smart er doctor my nipple where Swollen, angry, red as hell--I thought I'd have to rip them out myself. But Shorty just took one look, no drama, and said, "Sit. We're fixing this." She was so calm and knowledgeable and kept me laughing throughout my ordeal she Gloved up, fresh everything, and slid those rings out with this gentle, steady pull. No tugging, no pain--just... gone. Like magic. Then she cleaned me up, gave me aftercare tips that actually worked, and told me to come back if I had any questions or problems. The whole thing Over in five minutes. And yeah--she's tiny, but those hands are rock-solid. Shorty is an Absolute legend great piercer, and knowledgeable medical field. I walked out feeling fixed, I'd let her save me again--any day. Thank you Shorty again you the best. thinking about getting my septum pierced definitely going to Shorty.

TLDR: I went in for a naval piercing and left without one and paid $20. With the unfriendly and…read moreunprofessional staff, hot and stuffy room, the piercer's baby crying in the small shop, and unclean practices I chose to leave. When I first walked in the male at the desk was not very friendly and did not even greet us. We were handed over to the piercers and one asked the other "Do you want her or do you want me to take her?" the other responded "I don't care". At this point I'm don't really feel like a valued customer, I'm just whatever to them. Not one person said hello to me, introduced themself, or even asked me my name. The whole process felt like I was being rushed and they wanted me in and out very quickly (despite no other customers in the shop). I was moved to the small room in the back and every question I asked felt like I was bothering the piercer, giving me short answers instead of helping me to make a decision. The jewelry did not seem properly sterilized, just quickly sprayed down, no autoclave machine. I did not even see the piercer wash her hands. With the unfriendly and unprofessional staff, hot and stuffy room, the piercer's baby crying in the small shop, and unclean practices I chose to leave. I did have to pay $20 because the piercer said she already opened the needle (which was opened before selecting jewelry and marking). Not complaining because I understand those are her supplies, but I wish she waited until she saw that I was ready and comfortable. Was hoping for a different outcome because I saw so many great reviews, but perhaps I caught them on an off day like a few other negative reviews mentioned

I made an appointment at 3 and stopped by early to see if he could squeeze me in. My flat piercing got angry overnight and I was in town so went to this shop to get a longer post swapped for my flat. He was able to quickly swap out my post for a slightly longer one and immediately my ear got less angry/red. It was only $20 for the post. But then I shopped his jewelry selection, and the earrings are really well displayed and bright! I ended up buying an earring for my conch, and he was able to also squeeze me in to change my earring for me between appointments. If he has a full day of appointments, expect to wait (or come back another day) but if you wait, there's a small chance he can squeeze you in, depending on what you need and what his appointments are having done. Highly recommend looking at his earring selection (beautiful gold pieces) but they have gold prices...so also expect to pay if you buy any earrings. He didn't pierce me. But when he did my flat post swap, he was very careful and surprisingly it didn't hurt like I expected it to. For my conch earring swap, it was a little uncomfortable but he was also very careful to make sure the earring was on nice and tight. I would recommend this shop and Joe!

My favorite part is they are always going to honest with you about whether or not a specific piercing is safe with your anatomy. Britt tells you what's happening every step of the way so you're never wondering what's touching you (is it the needle or a toothpick? Am I being pierced now?). They have an incredible jewelry selection which is all super high quality (e.g., surgical steel) and provide you with uniodized salt for your aftercare with very clear instructions. The shop itself is very calming, in an cute older sacramento house converted to businesses, lots of plants and neat artwork. Their quality and care standards are top notch. Chief has my trust and business for life! Highly, highly recommend

They took the time to walk me through what was happening and also recommended that if the swelling and fluid filled bump behind my ear didn't settle down, to go get it drained (which I did and it's been great since). I wish I had gotten my piercing done here originally. Their pricing is reasonable and knowledge far deeper than other places I'm aware of.
