Four years since I got a piercing so I decided it was time! For Mother's Day, I wanted to treat myself to a Daith piercing. I booked with Lee because of my first experience with her was excellent. This time, it was the same expectation because she delivered perfect service. I love how caring and knowledgeable she is. She would explain what she's doing, her every move. We discussed other piercings that I couldn't decide on, but ended up getting one when I wanted two. So that means, once this is healed... I will be back! Like the terminator lol. read more

Lee is very knowledgeable and helpful! She pierced my helix and 3rd lobes in April. She helped me feel comfortable and explained the process, also the after care. I had to go in recently to get my helix changed out for a glass retainer since I have to remove all metals for a procedure. Lee helped me with that as well. Highly recommend if you want to get a new piercing! read more

Johnny is an amazing piercer he did my helix and industrial piercings which have been the smoothest/easiest process for me compared to my other experiences. I trust him to help me with the healing process and with my next few piercings read more

I get pierced here and have only had positive experiences. The shop is super clean and both Johnny and Lee are super professional and honest about piercing placements and anatomy compatibility. I like that they are honest about what will work best instead of just taking your money. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would do that. My daughter in law went to replace a piece of jewelry for her nose piercing that she had lost. They produced a jewelry that was acceptable, removed the post part from the ball and installed it in her nose and proceeded to tell her she had to purchase the two parts of one piece of jewelry separately ($21 for the post and $23 for the ball). That is absolutely ridiculous. I am certain that there is no way they bought their posts and balls separately, This is not a mix and match situation. The ball does not work without the post. You don't buy earrings and their posts separately. No place I have ever been has ever done that. They are a complete rip off and not to mention extremely rude in the process. read more

I recently attempted to put earrings back in and one of my piercings had partially closed. I started looking into who could re-pierce me. It took me about half a second to think of Indigo Skin Design! This shop is known for cleanliness and safety. My family has been coming here for piercings and tattoos for years. To my knowledge we have never had problems with any body design received from this shop. The appointment process was simple and straightforward. You can make an appointment on their website and the staff are incredibly quick with responses. They had availability on the exact date I wanted to get my piercing done. Lee is a class act! Professional, knowledgeable, patient, kind. Simply put: Lee knows her stuff! She is wonderfully disarming, and has greatly helped me through the piercing process... twice! And on two completely different parts of my body! Lee is cool, calm, and collected, and she helps her customers to be that too. If I need a piercing, I go to Lee... period, end of sentence!! If you're looking for a tattoo or a piercing anywhere on your body, I recommend you go check out Indigo Skin Design!! read more

Indigo Skin Design - Outside the shop - Tattoo Near Me - Antioch, California

I bought a tattoo here as a Christmas gift for my deaf sibling, and it was their first tattoo, so I really wanted the experience to be a good one. Indigo Skin Design delivered. John was the artist and he was patient, kind, and made sure everything felt comfortable from start to finish. He took the time to explain the process, checked in throughout, and made the whole experience feel welcoming instead of intimidating--especially important for a first tattoo. The tattoo itself came out beautiful and clean, exactly what we were hoping for. You can tell there's real care and skill behind the work here. If you're looking for a solid shop with good energy and an artist who actually listens, I definitely recommend Indigo Skin Design--and ask for John. read more

I would give them 0 starts. I am literally right in front of their shop and they are rude. I've been called about two weeks ago and they were very rude as well and lied and said that they don't do walk-ins. I called a tattoo place and they said that they do walk-ins so I call again which is today. They told me I can walk in right when I walked in the man white man old with gray white hair told me that I can leave because now there is one person in front of me even though he told me I can walk in very disrespectful and being rude before I even got there two weeks ago even on the phone call do not go here. Disgusting behavior. read more

They are absolutely the best! So friendly and welcoming and great at what they do! I always come in when I need to change my jewelry.

I have gone it to see Johnny a few times. The first time he spent so much time talking to me about what I was looking to pierce, the jewelry options and education on aftercare. I didn't feel rushed to make a choice and that he actually cared I was happy, unlike other places that will just poke you and kick you out. I have recommended friends and will be back for any future piercings read more

Indigo Skin Design - Jessica at work - Tattoo Near Me - Antioch, California

01/07/24: Made an online appointment with Johnny to change out my nose piercing stud to a hoop. He recommended that the piercing stays with a stud ring for 8-10 months to make sure it heals thoroughly. My piercing has healed beautifully and I finally got my hoop ring today! It's so pretty and the process was quick and painless! Plenty of parking. Very clean space. Highly recommend! read more

Look, I'm a picky person and my child is not getting her ears pierced at some random mall hut or store by some random teenager that just got hired last week. Lol Jkjk Shout out to all the mall employees that pierce ears! But her first piercing was done by her pediatrician at the age of one...so you already know what I'm about. Lol. When she decided she wanted to begin her journey with second piercings and more, after I researched several locations, I came upon Indigo. I loved how they managed their store, tattoos, & piercings so professionally. I stopped by and asked their process and I really appreciated that the owners and piercers use very specific and good materials and metals. They are a little bit costly but you get what you pay for. My kid has super sensitive ears and they close quick and infect quick too. She was also very scared to get her piercings and Lee walked her through the whole process. She's had them in for 6 months and she's doing an amazing job taking care of them because Lee advised her step by step. My kid doesn't follow any one's instructions , but she followed Lee's! Thanks Indigo! read more

Come here If you want the best experience ever, with people who know what they're doing. read more

If I could give this place 1000 stars I would. So let me start out by telling you about my persistent nose ring journey.... Over the past 2 years I have had my nose pierced 4 times. Everyone resulting in a keloid. I had to remove the piercing every time. But I held onto my piercing for as long as I could. I would clean it and care for it properly and nothing seemed to work. Once I took the piercing out the keloid eventually went away. I tried piercing both sides of my nose twice smh. Now I did go to the same piercing place every time. So I figured that maybe it's them. However I know a couple of people that had went there and their piercing s came out just fine. Months after my nose healed and me being persistent and really wanting a nose ring I decided to look into another piercing place. Which landed me here. Very professional, super sterile, and very knowledgeable. I now have the nose ring I always wanted with no keloid. My nose is healing properly and I am beyond satisfied. I want to thank Lee for doing a phenomenal job. If you want a piercing this is a place to go! Don't even look elsewhere. COME HERE!!!! read more

Indigo Skin Design - Nose ring - Tattoo Near Me - Antioch, California

I got an ear cartilage piercing as a bday gift for myself and Lee did an amazing job. She was very assuring, as she was able to explain the risks and what to expect before, during and after the piercing. She even gave a "preview" of how it will look, once it is on. She was also able to answer all of my questions and you can tell she is an expert with her craft. She's hygienic! For some who are concerned about their COVID protocol, she was wearing her mask the whole time and clients are also encouraged to do same. Booking an appointment was easy and you can also purchase the jewelry, once your there. She can also make suggestions, if you ask. I definitely recommend this place and we'll be back for sure for another one! read more

We found them on here...and we're so glad we did! My daughter wanted to pierce her nose for her Bday gift...the piercer was very friendly, caring and knows her stuff. She made the experience smooth and pleasant. My daughter loves her piercing! I highly recommend this shop! Thank you so much! read more

Wanted to get my daughter's navel pierced for her 16th birthday. Booking process was easy. Someone called me back quickly after I emailed them to answer some questions. Required - parent ID, child birth certificate to prove parentage and ID for child. However- When we arrived for the appointment the piercing/body technician (idk what they are called lol) wouldn't remove her face mask to speak to a Deaf client, had a condescending tone in attitude and speech, pinched and prodded the navel area to "check for pierce-ability" (never heard of that before), and wanted to charge us $88 just for the jewelry. The piercing procedure is $30. There's no way. I understand that times have changed and titanium is now required for better healing and recovery but you can find titanium belly rings for cheaper than $88 anywhere. The selection was quite slim with the cheapest belly ring being $44. We left and went to Lotus Body Piercing in the Antioch mall after calling there and they quoted us piercing + titanium jewelry for $50 total. Would not recommend Indigo. When we decided to leave, we let them know we were cancelling the appointment and they told us they wouldn't charge us for cancelling. Heck no you won't. BTW We got THE EXACT same ring my daughter wanted at Indigo at Lotus- only paid $50 + tax for everything. Price 2/10 Friendliness 4/10 Cleanliness 10/10 Selection of jewelry 1/10 Other services 9/10 Comfortability 5/10 Quality of service NA/10 read more

I've only had great experiences with this company. I have gotten piercings through them and they have all healed perfectly. They display professionalism and proper Sterilization techniques.

I had a conch piercing done a year ago and received such friendly knowledgeable service. Fast forward a year when in last night to have jewelry swapped out on a daith piercing and they just as nice and professional. I've gone to serval shops for many piercings & by far this is the best. I highly recommend this shop. read more

The best! I got my first cartilage piercing with Lee and she was so comforting, professional, and informative. My experience from start to finish was top notch! I love how they look at your specific ear anatomy to recommend options. They also have the cutest jewelry ever! I ended up getting some abnormal swelling and went in to John who gave me a longer post free of charge and tips on how to help the swelling. Thank you, Indigo and John + Lee! I'll be back for more piercings for sure :) read more

Yesterday, I spontaneously decided that today would be the day to FINALLY get my septum pierced. I came straight to yelp to explore options as I've never sought out any tattoo or piercing services since moving here a few years ago. Indigo Skin Design was the first to come up and it was the closest to where I reside. Lucky for me, the reviews were also really good. After checking their website and seeing how experienced each artist/tech is, I decided to go for it. Thankfully my hunch and research didn't let me down. This hidden gem was so clean and pleasant to visit. The staff was very welcoming. The artist that helped me was Johnny! He was very gentle, kind, and knowledgeable of his craft. He answered all of my questions and provided me with clear instructions on caring for my impending piercing. The procedure was super smooth and not too painful. Overall, I'm very pleased with the service I received. Highly recommended!! read more

I went today to get a nose piercing (nostril) and had a great experience! I didn't make an appointment (which I should have), but Johnny was able to squeeze me in between appointments. He was an excellent, friendly, and professional piercer and I will definitely be back! It was my first time at Indigo, but my mom had been years ago and also had a good experience. The shop is clean and they have a wide variety of jewelry. Be sure to schedule an appointment in case they're fully booked, but otherwise absolutely choose this shop! read more

My daughter got some piercings this evening from Johnny which look absolutely beautiful. She is so happy with her new piercings and said it hardly hurt at all.

Thank you Johnny for providing excellent service and care you are a true professional. read more

Came all the way from Tracy because of the reviews and experience Lee had. Originally cane for a floating naval piercing but because of my anatomy it was sadly not an option for me. But I did end up getting a really cute ear piercing! Ive always been wary about getting my ear piercing even tho I have everything else pierced lol. The piercing was absolutely quick and maybe (2-10) pain. Very professional thank you! read more

Needed a new nose ring because I lost mine in my sleep, and found indigo via yelp. Had good reviews so I figured why not! Johnny helped me, and even inserted the new piercing.

Lee was awesome. After having my septum piercing done wrong last year at another piercing shop, I waited until the hole closed up and I could find a reputable place around the area. After being referred to Indigo from my esthetician, I decided to give it a try. I explained what happened with my septum piercing last year and Lee took time and care to ensure she did a good job, although she probably would've anyway even without this knowledge. She was thorough with explaining the entire process front to back and had the most gentle touch out of any piercer I've ever been to. I've never felt such minimal pain while getting a piercing before. I've gone to quite a few piercing places around the East Bay over the years and have had a few not so great piercings done. There was such a big difference in professionalism and skill here than I've ever experienced. I will definitely be back to get my nostril pierced here next. I live in Walnut Creek and it was absolutely worth the drive. I just adored this shop and don't have enough good things to say about it. read more

I got a double helix by Lee and my expectations were exceeded. Their shop is clean, the customer service is top notch, and she made sure I had all the information needed to care for my piercing. She also answered all my questions and made sure I left with what I wanted. Definitely recommend the shop and Lee! read more

I came in for a second set of lobe and my first conch piercing with Lee. I will 100% be back for my next round of piercings and tattoos. Lee told me she selects all the jewelry herself from Californian creators which makes wearing these pieces extra special. No mass produced cheap flaky junk- instead you'll find a treasure trove of elegant, bold and enchanting pieces. Lee took her time in assessing my wish list and helped me decide on the best plan for healing as well as my budget. In the past I've been to places where you feel shamed if you're not getting the BEST top line jewelry and instead opt for more budget friendly pieces, as if you're wasting their time. Not once did I feel this way with Lee. The simpler rings were just as beautifully presented as the top of the line ones and I enjoyed taking my time to pick exactly what I wanted. The piercing itself honestly didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would and again I believe that is a testament to how well Lee knows her stuff. My cartilage piercing was less painful than my first set of lobes I got 15 years ago that never healed properly, which is why it's so important to go to someone who knows what they're doing and does it safely and stress free. I can't wait to go back in 6 weeks for another round, thank you Lee! You're a treasure find. read more

Lee made me so comfortable throughout the entire process, super knowledgeable, and thorough every step of the way for my nostril piercing! Very attentive to placement since I knew I wanted to switch to a ring eventually but got a stud for the healing process. :) read more
