10 stars if I could! I had two surface piercings done above my eyebrow, and they turned out even better than I imagined. The jewelry sits so perfectly flush with my skin that people genuinely think I glued rhinestones to my face! Rick was incredibly meticulous from start to finish. He took his time measuring every angle and every distance around my eyebrow to make sure everything was perfectly symmetrical, and that attention to detail absolutely shows. His precision, patience, and craftsmanship gave me complete confidence throughout the process. Surface piercings can be tricky, so I really appreciated that he never rushed anything. The final result looks flawless, and I've already had so many compliments on them. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about quality and takes pride in their work, I can't recommend Rick and DV8 enough. read more

DV8 Tattoo and Body Piercing - Tattoo Near Me - Roseville, California

Staff was nice, but charging for both parts of an earring is insane. $20 extra for the back on top of $40 the front part of the earring making a tiny titanium earring to come out to $60 + the $10 insertion fee. I will literally never step foot back into this place. Truly a scam. read more

Friendly staff and clean environment. However, pricing on their website was very deceptive. I got my earlobes pierced, which was listed as $25. This turned out to be $25 per ear, which does NOT include the price of jewelry. I picked some of the simplest studs they offered, and those plus the backing came out to an additional $86. We were told they would not use outside jewelry- which is fine, but with prices like these? Ouch!! Overall quality was acceptable, but $136 before tax and tip is much too high for a basic piercing. read more

Juniper did my tattoo for me and I could not have asked for a better experience. They were very communicative over Instagram and were quick to respond to messages. I was so pleased with how kind, considerate, and easy to talk to they were. They are incredibly clean, sanitary, and clearly care a lot about their work and that you're satisfied with the end result. I'm so happy with the result! read more

I've been going to Dv8 for over a decade now. They've done every single one of my body mods. The piercers here are all insanely professional. I've not once had something reject, migrate nor become infected. You truly get what you pay for here, and they have options available all the way from affordable to luxury. They've pierced my entire ear curations (flat, forward helixes, daith, conch), my entire nose curation (forward nostrils, septum, nostrils and high nostrils) and my since retired snakebites. The staff is personable, kind, helpful and friendly. The shop is clean and the atmosphere is welcoming and comforting to people of all levels of modification - from newbies to heavily modded. I would never even consider letting another shop poke me. The shop is also inclusive! I've been coming here throughout my transition - before, during and after. The staff has been insanely respectful and supportive of my preferences even when they knew me pre-transition. They adjusted swiftly and of their own volition when it came to addressing me in a way that made me comfortable! read more

DV8 Tattoo and Body Piercing - Just after I got my double forward helixes pierced and received my custom cross chain for my nostrils! - Tattoo Near Me - Roseville, California

I've lived 5 minutes from this place for nearly 10 years and wish I had started way sooner - I don't know why I hesitated for so long - just pure laziness. Which is so silly because making the appointment is so easy through their website. I've now had 5 total piercings at DV8 over the course of the last year and a half on my ear curation journey. All are healing well and I'm very happy with the placements.  Keep in mind the jewelry is not included in the piercing fee, and it can add up quick if you're a gold lover. But if you're getting subsequent piercings, they allow you to bring in any previous jewelry that you've already purchased from them to use for future piercings. Just keep in mind that your appointment may take a little longer because they will need to sanitize the jewelry. I'm most impressed with the detailed aftercare instructions. I was horrified by the lack of instructions my sister received after being pierced at a VERY POPULAR piercing place in Berkely on Telegraph Ave (you know the place). She came with me to one of my appointments at DV8 and said, wow, they didn't tell me ANY of that stuff at the other place. And I was like, I KNOW - that's why I only come to DV8. They are also certified by the Association of Professional Piercers, so I feel confident that everything they do is safe and sanitary. read more

Just came in and got my nose pierced by Phia. They did an amazing job. The owner Rick was there to offer guidance and I felt very comfortable. It was so quick and easy. Definitely recommend. read more

I came here back in 2018ish and got my tragus pierced only for the jewelry they put in to fall out within a few days of it getting pierced. I called and asked what they could do for me and I got told I could come in and get it repierced for full price. I decided for the next few piercings I would get would be elsewhere since I felt like they did not want to take accountability for not properly securing the jewelry. Fast forward to the present, I noticed DV8 started to get into more curated pieces of jewelry that do cost a pretty penny but I believed they were worth the price since most of the pieces are genuine jewels and precious metals. On April 26th, 2026 I took my mom to get her nose pierced for her birthday. She's been bugging me about it and has been wanting one for a few years now. I decided to take us here since I thought their jewelry had really upgraded since 2018. Everything went good, she got a tiny TINY gold and diamond stud that cost $100. Fast forward not even two months, the diamond has fallen out and the backing as well came out. I called DV8 and explained the situation, only to be given the same response I was given back in 2018 which was sure me can fix it but we need all the pieces. I asked if there was anything we could do for my mom and was told unfortunately no. I'm super disappointed especially since DV8 has expanded their jewelry department and has even opened up a shop in the galleria mall. I just don't think it's right to make a customer purchase a piece at full price to replace a piece that wasn't high quality and fell apart in 53 days. I hate leaving bad reviews and actually never do but this my second time where the jewelry has failed due to quality of the jewelry or not being properly installed by the piercer. Accountability should be taken and shouldn't fall on to the customer especially after only being 53 days.. read more

I had a wonderful experience yesterday when I got my left nostril pierced by Michelle. It was painless and quick. She was very thorough with the after care details. Front counter personnel was very sweet and helpful as well. She helped me find the right diamond size. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone who is wanting a piercing. I am definitely coming back for another piercing! read more

Obsessed! I adore my piercer Alethea! She is the kindest, sweetest person not to mention a fantastic piercer! She has great taste and helps you curate your pieces. They stock a large selection in pieces and prices. I have been coming here for years! I love to refer anyone who asks about my ears, my gorgeous one of a kind curations. I love how much fun I have when I am there and how nice everyone is. The decor of the shop is cool and has its own unique vibe! I have never been a tattoo shop and piercing studio quite like it - in the best way possible! A loyal Repeat happy customer! And a hype woman for potential clients! Try them out! read more

Definitely one of my favorite piercing parlors I've been to. I love their selection of jewelries they have, the way they explained their price breakdowns for the jewelry itself, and how easy and comfortable the staff made me feel. I went in for a nose piercing and Alethea was so professional and awesome. She explained every step she was doing, which I appreciated so much! Love love love this place!

I have gone here multiple times. I've been pierced by Rick and Michelle and no matter who pierces me they do a great job. They really take their time to make sure the piercing is in the right spot and looks good. They also have really lovely jewelry here as well. Definitely recommend! read more

Always a great experience The entire staff are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive They truly care about the needs of the client and provide outstanding aftercare and support. Many thanks to Alethea. She is just amazing! read more

I got to say, the ambiance of this spot is so inviting! Most tattoo shops feel like a tattoo shop which can be scary for most. This place has an entrance and individual rooms for their artists. I love that because the intimacy of guest and artist. We got to choose our music as well. My artist was Kara, she is so nice! Her room is really comforting and I love the greenery surrounding the room. She did my tattoo perfectly making sure it was the correct size and looks good on my body. Surprisingly the tattoo didn't hurt at all (I do have a high tolerance to pain, so that may vary). But all in all, this will now be my go to spot for tattoos from now on. read more

DV8 Tattoo and Body Piercing - The room in review. So cozy - Tattoo Near Me - Roseville, California

My mom and I got stacked lobes for a little bonding time during Mother's Day week. We made an appointment and had Alethea as our technician. She was awesome! She herself earns all the stars She was so so patient with me as I took my time trying to configure the right pieces. They have an enormous selection of beautiful jewelry. I would happily give this place a 5star review except most of the pieces are $$$ very expensive. Like fine jewel expensive.... Like "I could get a whole bracelet/necklace for this price" expensive. So I think sticker shock is part of the experience at this location. But you know what? You get what you pay for. We had so much fun curating our look. Alethea knew what our goal was for today and took into consideration our future plans when she marked & measured our placement. She is a perfectionist and her skill made ALL the difference. Total, I got 4 piercings (2 on each lobe) and so did my mom. The piercing itself was quick and only a 3:10 on the pain scale. By far the best piercing experience I've ever had. The jewelry all have flat backs so no annoying poking in the back of your ears at night. I was expecting to be super sore - nope! I am about 24 hours post piercing and I have zero pain. Zero! Even when I clean them, the level of discomfort is so minimal I can't believe it. I know that it's because of Alethea and her incredible ability to get her angles right and the fact that I wasn't sleeping in super long poking posts to bend and stretch the area. I will be back. Even though I know it's a pricey place - I don't think I could see another piercing expert after this experience. She has a client for life. In fact, my teenage son will be coming to see her soon for his first piercing. read more

The absolute best piercing experience, EXTREMELY clean and friendly! This was my third or fourth time coming and I love it! They are pricey, but that's quality jewelry for ya! The owner makes the most incredible pieces and is always open to working with you. Absolutely come here if you want a high quality experience! I like that there is a split between the tattoo parlor and the piercing studio, it gives a very calm and quiet atmosphere. It seems to be a popular spot to bring young first time piercers too. read more

DV8 Tattoo and Body Piercing - 3rd lobe piercing - Tattoo Near Me - Roseville, California

I recently went to get my nose pierced here after my first one (done elsewhere) came out and it ended up closing. Emma was my piercer and she was so professional and made me feel so comfortable. She informed me on the importance of aftercare and the experience was quick and easy. It didn't even bleed, unlike the first time I had it done! I'm glad they are transparent about their pricing before you get it done, and I wouldn't hesitate to come back here. read more

I was referred to DV8 by a tattoo artist in Auburn. I regrettably have forgotten the employee that helped me, but she was lovely. She had brown or black fun curly hair! I came in to get my ear lobes double-pierced, and the employee was very helpful in explaining everything to me. They went over the pricing, procedure, cleaning process, and aftercare all before the procedure even started. I really appreciated their knowledge. Thank you! read more

Took my daughter to get her ears pierced as a birthday present. We were helped by Alethea who made it a point to connect with my daughter and myself by showing her the options and walked us through what was going to happen. During the actual piercing, she went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and try to make her less scare and nervous. I cannot recommend her services enough! read more

I had to have an MRI done and needed my nose ring removed for it. Emma removed + put it back in same day. She did such a good job that I can barely tell where the opening of the ring is. She lined it up perfectly! Thank you Emma I really appreciate your help! 10/10 recommend her to anyone looking to get a piercing done. read more

After having a really unsavory experience at a shop in Midtown Sacramento, I found DV8 on Yelp and I'm so glad I did. I called when they opened on a Friday morning and they were able to get me in by 3:30 PM that same day! The whole crew on shift helped me make some decisions about placement and jewelry and were so gentle, attentive, and genuinely excited to hear about my ideas for this weird little project. I love how transparent they were about pricing and what to expect. Nicole spent a few extra minutes marking out a stencil for the placement of my piercings and took extra care to make sure I was comfortable the whole time - telling me exactly when, how, and where she would be placing her hands and the piercing equipment. I never felt talked down to about my silly questions and the whole experience was really comfortable. It felt like getting pierced by my friends, even though I had just met them! I highly recommend DV8 if you are looking for a wonderful selection of super high-quality jewelry and a piercing team that is well-versed in the delicate nature of body piercing. It was a fantastic experience and I can't wait to go back! read more

I was recently in for a piercing in a sensitive area, and my piercing experience was fantastic. When I first walked in I thought I was in a jewelery store. It did not give off the dingy vibes I've experienced at other piercing/tattoo shops. Alethea, (my piercer) was so professional, friendly, and knew what she was doing. It really put me at ease at what otherwise would've been a nerve wracking experience. Definitely recommend Alethea and dv8 for any piercing needs. read more

I just wanted to update our review. We were having an issue with our piercing (spoiler alert: moisture from our daughter's wet hair at night) and so we reached out to Kristy just like she told us to when we got the piercing done and she helped us out. We went in and got everything examined and felt totally better by the end of the visit. And now after doing what she told us to, the piercing is looking all better and we are so happy! We are still so glad we came to DV8 for our daughter's piercing! read more

I met with Jane and she did two piercings and I loved the experience. Their selection is amazing given their uniqueness they can be pricey but worth it.

I recently lost some of my jewelry overnight, so I was in a bit of a jewelry crisis, and had the most amazing experience here at DV8! I felt a little bad coming in 30 mins before Alethea was supposed to go home for the day, but she was so kind! I got a chance to meet the owners Rick and Jane as well, and they were super friendly and informative! I came in with a pretty good idea what I wanted/needed jewelry wise, and the front counter person (I didn't catch their name unfortunately! ) was incredibly knowledgeable about what jewelry styles and sizes they had in stock. I was very impressed by that considering just how much jewelry they have! Seriously, they have SO MUCH JEWELRY. Everything they have is implant grade, high quality, and they offer guarantees on their jewelry as well. The shop is large, super clean, and very comfortable. They were also accommodating and friendly to my 6.5 month old baby. Alethea's bedside manner was incredible as well, and she made me very comfortable. As someone who works/has worked in the piercing/tattoo industry, I've recommended this shop to a few of my clients, and now that I've had an experience here personally I will definitely send more of them here since I'm not currently in a shop myself. 100/10 recommend. I look forward to coming back, and possibly experiencing the tattoo side of things as well. read more

I love the staff here. Anytime I enter, they're more than willing to answer my hundreds of questions and they never get impatient with me. When getting my nose piercing, Alethea did an awesome job at the placement and explaining why they planned to put it there. The only thing is that the price adds up because their jewelry is high-end. I had no idea when I came to my appointment! That was on me for not doing enough research! In all honesty, I would come here again to get another nose piercing because the people here were super friendly, and the jewelry is stunning. I love my piercing :) no keloids or anything. Very precisely placed and Alethea knows their stuff with anatomy!! read more

Both my girls have been wanting to get their ears pierced for a year now. I took them to DV8. Alethea was amazing. She was friendly and very caring. My 6yo was nervous, but did well. My 4yo was hesitant after the first piercing, but Alethea was very calm and diligent. They are both very satisfied with their piercing, so am I. The shop was very clean and organized. Many jewelry options. And the individual rooms is nice. read more

I was pierced by Kristy who did an amazing job. She has a very cool demeanor and is very well-informed and professional. The only curveball for me was the cost. I was expecting it to be pricey but not nearly $200 pricey. I got two lobe piercings and had called ahead about the price. I was quoted $25 for one piercing so I expected the total to be around $65 (including tip). I even anticipated that it might be $120 because of the included cost of jewelry. When I got there I knew I was in for a treat because of how beautiful the interior of the store was. Kristy welcomed me in and then quickly started listing the prices of everything. I felt like I was in too deep to refuse the service which is admittedly a fault on my part but I think they could've been more transparent about the whole pricing when I asked over the phone. The jewelry alone cost $100, $60 for the two fronts, $40 for the two backs. They are threadless neometal and were the cheapest jewelry option for lobe piercings. The piercings themselves were as expected, $25 each, making another $50 added to the cost. I tipped 18% for Kristy's amazing, professional work, which was another $27. The cost for two lobe piercings and jewelry was $177, minus tax. I got my septum re-inserted, which cost $10 which I thought was reasonable. Overall, after tax, I paid $197. Yes, I could've asked more about the total cost but I thought that I had already been provided with the answer over the phone. I had told them that I hadn't been there before and the prices still weren't fully explained. Looking online, I'm given the same answer over the phone that the price of a piercing is $25. Kristy did an amazing job, she was quick, explanative, and professional. She made sure I was informed on the procedure and took me through all the steps of it. The initial regret of the pricing faded because of how symmetrical the piercings are and how cute the jewelry is but I really wish I could've anticipated it so that I could've waited and been able to unregretfully pay what I was charged. read more

My experience here was amazing! The DV8 team never disappoints with their attention to making a welcoming space for clients, and Roseville is lucky to have them. I worked with Jessica to get a larger flash piece recently, and everything was so top notch. From the booking process to settling the bill, she was so pleasant and really mindful of making sure I was comfortable. It's the first time I've ever received a goody bag of aftercare (and stickers!), and I only wish she'd started here earlier. I truly can't recommend her enough. read more

I love DV8. From the second you enter, you immediately recognize this isn't a typical piercing shop. From the decor in their spacious shop to how the employees dress and carry themselves, the luxury experience starts the moment you set foot in the shop. The jewelry selection is second to none. Perhaps my favorite part is that they have their own in house jewelry line; nothing sets off a beautiful new piercing like a piece of jewelry hand made in house! I am working with Jane on a curated ear project. She has the most wonderful vision and I am just thrilled to be able to walk around with her creativity on display for the world. Jane also pierced my septum and did a phenomenal job; from jewelry selection to talking me through the entire process, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I can't imagine getting pierced anywhere else. read more
