A girlfriend and I decided we wanted to get piercings so went on a hunt all over North Bay. Found this little gem Matchless and got ahold of Jess who does the piercings. We arrived in this super low key spot in Sebastopol. I immediately was drawn to the aesthetics inside. Jess was welcoming and really nice. Jess covered the procedure and aftercare in detail. We picked out jewelry. They have a bunch of options. We wanted gold. I went with a cute piece from this brand Juniper that's made in Canada that composed of a cluster with opal and CZ for my double helix. Every purchase they plant a juniper. Loved that. From this visit, I found out that an orbital consists of two piercings and decided to go with one. It's all I could take. My girlfriend chose hers, super cute crescent moon for her conch. Within 30 mins we were off and ready to go. Jess sent us home with saline sprays. Unfortunately, my ear ended up swelling and it was super painful for a couple days. I contacted Jess and she changed my post to give more room. No infection, my ear is back to normal. Super grateful Jess was able to see me. Whatever you do, don't touch your piercing and be careful of snagging. An irritated piercing isn't necessarily an infected one. I'm looking forward to getting more piercings! Jess is someone to trust in getting one done with care and comfort. Super happy and more than satisfied we came here. read more

See all

I had a septum piercing for many years. I took it out to do some job interviews and couldn't get the jewelry back in. Flash forward about 6 years and I decided to get my septum re-pierced. I called Matchless Tattoo and made an appointment for the next day. The beautiful and skillful Jess Rose told me that my nose might not be closed. IT WASN'T!!!! So, Jess gently put more jewelry in and - presto - it was done. I can't recommend Jess Rose highly enough: Professional, skillful and gentle read more

Mike is a very meticulous artist with a gentile hand, and the shop was super comfortable (we were there for around 7-8 hours). He did a matching piece for me and my sister, and we are extremely happy with the result. If you're looking for a tattoo artist in north bay, he is the person you want to go to. read more

My daughter and I had tattoos put on us the same time exact same time. Rex was our tattoo artist and he was wonderful

Summer is amazing! This is a small shop, and the artists are super focused on their clients. You can tell they that they care about making people happy and providing a positive experience. I got my ear lobes pierced when I was a kid and they were uneven. I've wanted a second piercing for a long time, but hesitant because of the previous screwup. Summer took her time, made sure everything was lined-up/spaced correctly and was very professional. She explained everything in detail and was very diligent about a sterile piercing process. I've been back twice to switch them while they heal (trying different colors) and both times where as good as the first. She knows what she is doing, dedicated to quality/cleanliness and just an extremely nice person. If I do more piercings, definitely going back to her. read more

Summer is an expert piercer and a badass! I'm glad I chose to support such an awesome local Sebastopol business. She pierced my conch and now I won't be taking my business anywhere else. She took a lot of time to chat with me and offered me advice about a piercing I had done by another piercer that was irritated. The shop is clean and has awesome decorations; to top it off, as I came in, a mom and her young daughter who had just gotten her ears pierced for the first time were just leaving. That's a great sign to me! Family friendly because Summer puts her clients at ease. Go for it, and support a Sebastopol small business. read more

Summer pierced my daughter's ears... At first she was nervous, but Summer made her feel 100% comfortable & took the time to let her breathe in between ears. My daughter asked me "When will we see Summer again? She is so nice" I'd been contemplating getting my nose pierced for years... In solidarity with my daughter, I did it! I also thought Summer was awesome!! Definitely recommend! read more

There are not enough words to express how talented Mike is. He is exceptional! Great human, phenomenal artist and trust him completely with my skin!! read more

The best tattoo shop I've ever been to. Mike and his staff are welcoming, friendly, engaging, and simply put awesome people. The quality of the work here is above reproach! Mike is the most engaging artist I have met, while never sacrificing quality or speed. I recommend anyone looking to get new ink to come and talk with mike. read more

Drove from Rohnert Park, when we arrived (after calling and getting no response besides the message on the phone saying they were open till 7 and just busy.) the shop was closed and had a posted sign that said they closed at 6 but I called before 6 and got no answer. a simple "hey were closing early" on the phone would have saved a drive if they were still open like the sign, voicemail, and website say they were. I know piercing shops and tattoo parlors have flexible hours due to the artistic lifestyle most in the industry lead but this was unprofessional and disappointing. read more

Matchless Tattoo - My beloved Merle tattoo by Mike Pritchett at Matchless Tattoo! - Piercing Near Me - Sebastopol, California

My kid got his ears pierced by Summer today and she was just amazing. Patient, kind, explained what she was doing every step of the way. I'm no stranger to tattoo and piercing studios, but most aren't as sweet to little kids. Thank you, he's over the moon with his purple earrings. read more

Nothing like getting your first tattoo! I was recommended to Mike by my brother and it was a fantastic experience! He was personable, willing to create the design I wanted yet gave input from his experience and talent to make sure I got what I wanted! Stoked about how it came out! I even had my cheerleading, support crew come with me and we all had a blast making a memory together. Thanks Mike! read more

I love Matchless! I have been a few different times for a nose piercing, a few ear piercings, and jewelry changes. The staff is absolutely amazing! I have had both of the piercers, Summer and Jess, and both are amazing! The are so kind and always make me feel welcome and warm. They are very talented piercers and spend a lot of time getting every detail right and making sure you get exactly what you want. I love all of the piercings and jewelry I have gotten from Matchless so much! This truly is a wonderful tattoo and piercing shop! read more

We visited tonight to collect a piercing from Jess Rose for my 13 soon to be 14 year old daughter! Jess was thorough calming and truly professional! She explained every step in the process and pierced my daughters nose in a flawless motion making it a truly exciting experience. Hardly any redness after the fact! I own a tattoo shop myself and I have been in the business for forty years so when I say Jess Rose is a compassionate professional I mean it! Thank you. Jess! read more

Summer helped me take out a horrible piercing I got two years ago at another location. She was so great about providing information on how to help it heal and cure it completely. Thanks, Summer! read more

Great shop! I've had my septum done 3 times previously and had been thinking of getting it done again; I work less than a block away so I decided to check this place out. Summer is just tooo great, honestly phenomenal. She was full of insight and information, and was super personable as well. I am used to shops that want to get people in and out as fast as possible--a nostril and navel assembly line, if you will. But at Matchless, Summer took her time to make sure that her work was fully sterile and top quality. And on too of all that, she checked out my nose and recommended re-stretching my existing piercing rather than re-piercing it--a much less invasive and a much less expensive option. I'm grateful to now have a go-to place for quality piercings and jewelry! read more

Summer is the best piercer out there! She is incredibly thorough, clean, and precise. Not to mention great to talk to and hangout with during the process. I've had my share of piercing experiences and she is by far the best, she makes everything so easy, chill and painless. Never going to another piercer! read more

Summer is great! She is professional, efficient and sweet and caring all at the same time. I got a nose piercing that I have wanted for ages and Summer made it seem very special. I would go back in a second if I was to get additional piercings! read more

I have been to matchless 3 times over the last 6 months for a total of 12 hours of tattooing with Mike, and i hope to sit with him for another 12+ hours. Mike is a seriously good guy, and great at tattooing. He really is city talent without the city prices or having to drive 1.5 hours to SF. Everyone at the shop is really nice and helpful too. read more

Mike is great! He did a fabulous cover-up for me that looks sooooo much better than what was there! Yesterday he tattooed a couple of my friends and both jobs are fabulous. One of them is one of the most beautiful tattoos I've ever seen. And yes, he's wicked entertaining while he works! read more
