The piercer was friendly enough, and everything looked sanitary. I have over 30 piercings and have been pierced in multiple different shops. I've never had a piercer not tell me when they were going to pierce you with the needle--not once but for both piercings I got. Not much verbalization on what was happening at all really. I went with two others and one of them got a single new piercing but got a set of matching studs, one for her new one and one for her healed one. The post for her healed piercing is so long in her tragus she can't wear earphones without it sticking out so much it actually looks ridiculous We tried going back the next day to see if they could use a shorter post but despite their hours posted, they weren't open 40 minutes past their posted open time.

He not only took his time but made me feel so comfortable in the chair. Had a very nice time talking and getting to know each other. He might be young, but he's very talented. He's started my sleeve and I hope he finishes it! Seriously, an amazing artist. Thank you so much, Kevin! Can't wait for the next appointment!

I've lived 5 minutes from this place for nearly 10 years and wish I had started way sooner - I…read moredon'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.

Friendly staff and clean environment. However, pricing on their website was very deceptive. I got…read moremy 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.

Conrad is the man! I had a horrible tattoo on my upper left arm from the elbow to the shoulder…read moresince I was 19 years old. I'm 46 now. Nobody ever had the confidence he had to be able to cover it completely. In a few sessions Conrad had the entire upper arm completely covered with a sick piece that everyone I've shown loves! I'm going back in a few months to do my back. He did cursive on mine and my wife's arm. Fair pricing great work! If I could he would get 10 stars!!!!

He listened to what I wanted, looked at the references photos I had, was super patient with me and my ADHD vibes and is clearly a masterful artist. Took him no time to create the daisy of my dreams I wanted for my toe :) even though it was a small tattoo, he clearly took his work seriously, listened to my input and the job seriously regardless of its petite size and odd placement. The vibe in the shop is great - welcoming, American Trad vibe and much much more. Cool music and clean shop. He was able to work me in right away which was great and it looks like they take walk ins too! BONUS! I've seen Mikey's other work too, it's amazing!! Check this place out!!!!

That's how close together they were. And they were uneven one was placed directly on my lip line and one was below, so the jewelry didn't set evenly The friend who got the two angel bites and the Labret One of the angel bites was uneven as well and the vertical Labree was placed so high you can't see it when her lips are closed I understand that I could have changed the placement of the dots But in all honesty, I trusted the professional to place them I wasted my money and now I have to get them redone I wasn't planning on saying anything until I realized that I never received my ID back from them So I called and sure enough they had mine and my friends ID I would understand and take responsibility. Had it just been mine and maybe I forgot. But two ? That means they neglected to return them to us. And made no effort to contact us to return them I'm very upset with my experience

Now, I have been up and down all over Fairway Drive back in the day.. so this shop was new to me. When I first walked in... I had to pick my jaw up of their floor. This has got to be the most beautiful tattoo/body piercing shop I have ever been to. If you are a plant lover, your going to be in heaven! Find something to pierce or tattoo just so you can enjoy the feng shui space they have created. I felt peaceful and with harmony.. I first spoke to Jay. Rad dude! He was tattooing an octopus when I walked in. Then I met Tessa. She helped me find my jewelery and even installed it for me to help me get on my way faster. While here, I got to meet Athena, who's tattoos I have seen in Instagram before coming here, so it was very cool to meet someone I have only seen online. I will be back to pierce something or to get a tattoo by Jay, lol. See you guys soon!

I also noticed them taking special care to consult with and guide folks who were new to tattoos without coming across as condescending, which was really awesome. A huge shout out to Travis. He was super friendly and communicative and really collaborated with me to nail down a design I loved. He executed the tattoo to perfection as well and added a bunch of details that made my memorial tattoo really sing. He even took the time after I left to message me with some aftercare tips. I can't recommend Travis enough.
