Got my nose pierced this last weekend by Irene, she was amazing and made the experience that much better! Facility was clean and inviting and all the staff had very friendly faces on. read more

my daughter got her nose pierced here and could not be happier! Irene helped us and was very informative and helpful and told her everything she needed to know about after care for the piercing. the facility is very clean and everyone is welcoming and great. i would recommend this place to anyone wanting a piercing. prices start at $20. same price as the mall with a lifetime of after care and no worries about the infections you always seem to get from the places that use a gun for the piercing. read more

I use to think this place was good. We needed a piercing place in town since Blue moon is gone. Now it's questionable they can not make up there piercing policy the girl doing the piercing tells you they will take care of your piercing of it falls or breaks. When i called to find out after 2 of my piercing i got done here fell. They girl that answered the phone said that they don't replace anything. You have to purchase the jewelry yourself the policy are always changing. This is such an inconvenience don't tell someone one thing and the. Don't honor it. From here on out ill be sending all my coworkers and people who ask where i get my piercing done; i will be sending them Emeril tattoo and body piercing our body jewels in Modesto. read more

Sailor Mike performed my tattoo and I could not be happier. I asked for him specifically after reviewing his portfolio, his script tattoos are amazing and clean. He provided me with several different font options and did not pressure me into picking one over the other. He gave me his opinion on which font he liked, but advised it was up to me since it was my arm, my tattoo and I really appreciated that. I have several tattoos all by different artists, and in the past have felt pressured to pick the artist's choice. Mike provided a relaxing clean environment and I had fun chatting with him while he worked. I do not live in Manteca, however I would happily make the drive again to be tattooed by Mike. read more

I was looking around for a good place to get piercings done when I came across Union Tattoo on Yelp. It had great reviews, I called and Squiggles was in all day. I went with my niece who wanted a third ear lobe piercing and I wanted my lobes repierced since they never healed correctly and had closed up. When we entered the shop we were greeted right away, everyone was friendly and made us feel welcome. It's cash only but they have an atm inside. We went to grab some cash and a snack came back and it was on. I can't say enough about how great Squiggles is, she so kind and patient. She let us know what she was doing, checked to make sure we were good. Our piercings came out great. Last time I had my ears pierced I had problems sleeping but not this time, Squiggles does great work. Come on down to Union Tattoo for your next piercing you won't regret it. It went so well I want to get more now read more

This place is super chill and inviting. My husband went in to buy new plugs and we ended up also with our Tragus pierced. Squiqqles has the best energy, she explained everything she was going to do before she did it. I was thinking of doing both ears at once but she recommended doing the other ear in a week so it would be easier to sleep, I thought that was awesome because it showed she cares more about her customers satisfaction then making the money quick. Most places will just say ok and take your money not worried about how it's going to affect you. I have a dermal on my upper check that Was missing the jewel and they hooked it up, I'm very impressed with this place. They also have a guarantee on jewelry, no other place iv been to has had that. Thanks so much squiggles and John we'll be back for more. read more

The staff is absolutely amazing and very talented. However who ever runs the front desk is very cold, unwelcoming and not very friendly at all. He needs some customer service training or to be replaced. I was thinking of getting a thigh piece because I've seen some work by an amazing colorist. Kelsie, but with him there I won't be returning read more

Just got a daith piercing by Squiggs. Awesome personality, super personable, informative, and made me feel comfortable. The shop was clean and the staff was friendly. Coming back with my friend so she can get one, definitely made a client out of me read more

I went in to go get my helix pierced and Irene was so nice and chill. I felt very comfortable around her and would recommend her to anyone who is looking to get a piercing. Overall the whole parlor experience was good! read more

Irene was by far the best experience I've ever had! She was fantastic and is super informative. I will continue to bring my business here!!

I can't say enough how great this place is!!! I've had three piercings by Irene aka Squiggles. She is the best! I have Mike working on one piece (cherry blossom tree) and Sailor Mike working on a sunflower piece. Both one of a kind. The tattoos and the artists! Rae and the ladies that help at the front desk (and answer the phone) are always friendly and professional. I drive from Tracy to go there. I took my oldest daughter to get her nose pierced. They require ID and birth certificate if they are under 18. My husband drove all the way from Tracy to bring it to us. I'm happy they don't pierce under age with ya parent and ID. They are great. I highly recommend them. read more

Took my young daughter to get her ears pierced. They were nice, professional and very informative on the process and care for the new piercings. She is almost 9 and very sensitive but didn't even flinch, there were no tears or complaints from her. She is completely happy and I'm very glad we came here. Price for the piercings, jewelry and after care products were completely reasonable. I highly recommend!!!!! My mother is in the medical field and came with us, she was also very impressed. Prior to going I contacted them to make sure I had all the documentation needed to get a minor pierced and for the best times to come in, responses were prompt and helpful. read more

i came in on May 6, 2019 to get my belly button pierced, i was first greeted by a man who got our paperwork (i'm a minor ) started then we finished our paperwork with a lady! both were very nice and patient! about 5 minutes after completing my paperwork, irene took us back to her room! she was the sweetest & most gentle piercer i've experienced thus far! she talked me through everything and when the time came, i didn't even realize she had pierced my belly button already! she was so quick and made me feel so comfortable! she then went through the after care process with me and made me feel confident with after care (i get kinda nervous to clean new piercings). irene truly cares for her clients and even asks you to come back a few weeks after so she can check to see how you are doing! she also gives you many ways to communicate with her in case you are unsure of anything. definitely a great experience! i left feeling comfortable, confident, and well taken care of! i will totally come back again. read more

The customer service is superb and professional. All the employees were very kind and helpful! Loved how my tattoo by Mike came out, he did an amazing job!

Just got my nose pierced by the lovely Irene!! First and foremost, the shop is so clean and beautifully decorated. Irene was the sweetest soul and made me feel so comfortable and at ease even though it was my first piercing! It was a quick, easy, and clean process. She was incredibly thorough on the after care and explained the piercing process as she went, which helped me understand what to expect. They truly care and are such genuine and bubbly folks. I absolutely love my new piercing. So happy I decided to go here!! Irene is truly a gem! 1000000% recommend this place Thank you to Union Tattoo and Irene Made my whole year! read more

Walked in got greeted by gabby the customer service was great. I got my nose pierced and my nipples and they came out so nice I'm so happy with my piercings . irene did a awesome job and made me feel so comfortable. read more

The perfect piercing experience from start to finish! Went with my best friend and we were able to walk in on a Saturday, both get flawlessly pierced by Irene, and he done in less then 30 mins, including filling out and signing all consent forms. Everyone was super friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Irene is incredibly friendly and knows exactly what she's doing. She makes the process so smooth and talks you through everything! I will definitely be back! read more

I would like to give a better rating, but my experience with the store's manager has been extremely unpleasant. She's been rude to my man, my sister in law and several of my sister in law's friends. It's unfortunate that such a bad experience with her has left such a bad taste in my mouth about a shop that seems so pleasant otherwise. Will not give them any of my business. read more

Best piercing experience ever! "Squiggles" was so sweet and moved the mark before piercing as many times as it took to make sure she got it perfect. I got four lobe piercings done at once and started to feel a little faint and she was quick to grab me some water and didn't rush me to leave at all. Would definitely recommend! read more

Irene is a sweetheart. She made my piercing experience very comfortable. Would highly recommend this place!

Super fun time! The piercer squiggles is super rad and willing to make accommodations for you and your friends. Also she was willing to place my piercing higher and lower numerous times. Very clean and very professional. read more

I went in for piercings and just happened to go during a sale that was half off. The wait was almost 3 hours. The shop is small and we had to stand outside. They don't do appointments for piercings and don't give a wait time. I was told 40 minutes but it turned to 3 hours. Once I got in, I was pierced by DANIEL. He was new and did a great job, he did a great job at explaining and was patient. They don't provide any after care products and only do the service. I would recommend but be ready to wait and just sit around for hours! read more

Great place to go get your piercing haven't got any tattoo work done here but they all pretty legit so I will be visiting them soon

My best friend and I went in today for a few different piercings. Erin was in for today and he was amazing! He was very chill, and very enjoyable to talk to, as he was making jokes and just made the whole experience more fun! I would absolutely come back to get more piercings from him in the future! Thanks again! -Justine read more

This yelp review is long overdue!! I have gotten a nasal piercing twice before so I thought I knew what to expect. The piercer (Irene I think?) was so sweet and did things that my other piercers did not think to do. As in clean my nose, use a freaking needle instead of a gun and she was so very sweet! (needless to say this is my new piercing shop I've been recommending it all over) As soon as I stepped into the shop I was greeted warmly and experienced great customer service from everyone. I used to have a regular piercing shop in Modesto, but am so glad to find one closer to Tracy ! seriously, best shop and great prices. Ya can't find any prices/better customer service that beat this shop! Try, I dare ya!! read more

Please find somewhere else. Literally so rude and they did not care to answer questions. I get you get asked stupid questions every day but to act cold for someone getting something pierced is not okay. There's way better places to go to. Act better. read more

Got a tattoo today from the artist I was hoping for. Casey was awesome. Quick, did great work, and was super cool. I would absolutely use him again for more work! This place is super professional and clean. They are cash only, so prepare for that if you don't want to pay for atm fees. They did take a deposit over the phone with my debit card and I could have paid more on my card than the minimum $50 deposit, which would have been cool, but I didn't know how much my piece was going to be. read more

Walking into this place you know you're going to come out with a couple things, and that's exactly what I did! Got a frontal lobe and a helix, and Irene was superb the entire time. She's so cute and completely open and comfortable to be with through the whole experience. I went in ready to have it done in a heartbeat and she delivered! Jeep was pretty dope too. If you're in the area I definitely recommend there read more

Everything about this place is amazing! Everyone is super friendly and shop is super clean/comfortable environment. Came in as a walk in and Thiago did an INCREDIBLE job on a memorial tattoo. Irene (piercer) was very knowledgeable and friendly, got my helix pierced quick and painless. My mom got had her back piece cover up finished by Mikey B, awesome job. Already scheduled next appointment! (Cash only, but atm available inside) read more

My best friend and I came for a walk in. Bobby was the one who did our tattoos. We both had very different experiences. Not only did he trash the tattoos I already had. He also made fun of the tattoo we wanted. We have been wanting to do this for a long time so we didn't let that kill our vibe. I went first he made me feel very uncomfortable he was rude. I've never had a tattoo experience like this but he made it clear he wasn't a Fan of me. My friend went and she had he was so sweet and nice and made her feel completely comfortable. So I'm not sure what went wrong with me. I personally won't go back my friend had made plans with him to do some more work ,but after hearing my experience she has decided to not go back as well. read more

Got my first tattoo done here by Mike B. And he was awesome made me feel comfortable definitely will go again :)

Went in today, during my lunch, to get my nose pierced. Process was explained completely. Irene did my piercing, she was professional and explained step by step what she was going to do. I felt a pinch and it was done! She gave me an Aftercare pamphlet and explained how to care for my piercing, answered all my questions and reassured me if I had any problems or questions to contact her. Even told me to come back inn 3 weeks so she can make sure it is healing fine. She is fabulous!! read more

The service was awesome the workers were really nice Had a piercing done by Irene she was awesome. The place was clean. I would definitely be going back. read more

I had my septum pierced here at the end of December. Healing is going great. It's barely sore now. Well my ring fell out in the shower and down the drain(I must've loosened the ball and spun the ring). Anyways I was completely freaking out because I didn't have a backup or even feel confident enough putting one in if I did have one. I'm not sure how quickly it would've closed up so I rushed over to the shop within 20mins. I explained my situation and Nikey took me to the back room immediately. She cleaned the piercing and put another ring in comfortably and quickly. I felt relieved and taken care of as soon as I stepped through that door. Thanks again! read more

I went here to get my tragus piercing done. Irene took care of me and my sister she was awesome I was scared but with Irene hyping me up and letting me know she got me it made me feel better she did an awesome job didn't feel much pain and I've been to other places to get my nose done and their costumer Service is not so great. I truly recommend this place this is my go to place for now on great friendly people. Everyone was awesome and even took selfies with Panfi. read more

GO you will not be sorry! Check out all there past work on Instagram if you do not beleive me read more

I was so impressed with this shop, it's clean and comfortable and all the decorations are awesome! Noah is the most informative, pleasant person to speak to. I called last minute to see if there were any walk in appointments available and he took care of everything from there. He set me up with Casey, who is now stuck with me btw! Casey was awesome, the tattoo was done quickly and we even had time to discuss future work. I'll send anyone to this shop. read more

I brought my 9 year old daughter here to pierce her ears after obtaining a referral from a trusted friend. The store was clean, the staff was welcoming and friendly and very clear about cost, process, options & after care. We never felt rushed or uncomfortable and we even received some above and beyond education from our piercing professional thats was useful and not overbearing. I would absolutely recommend Union Tattoo and will be back in the future. read more
