I had been following June's tattoo instagram account for over a year, and had been wanting to get…read moremy first big tattoo in her signature colorful, botanical style, but was a bit nervous. I finally went ahead and booked a virtual consultation (being in San Diego). From the very beginning of the process, submitting the request to book, through the consultation itself, and coming in to get the tattoo, I had the most amazing experience. I felt comfortable that I was in the hands of the best team at this shop. Rob was super responsive with scheduling and questions. June created a beautiful design based on my references and feedback and added little touches that made it even better. When I showed up to my appointment, I was a little anxious, but it was such a cozy, beautiful studio and I felt welcomed and at ease by Rob and June. June took such great care to cover up the scars I wanted covered and make it look beautiful and flow well with the natural curves of my leg, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. After she finished her work, she brought out the professional camera to get the best pictures possible and promptly sent them to me the same night. You can tell she takes pride in her work (as she should!) I will absolutely be back for more tattoos in the future, and maybe add more to my leg sleeve. It was definitely worth the drive from San Diego to work with the right artist who made my vision come true!

I got really lucky and got a walk in appointment with June, who made my tattoo dreams come true…read more She did this adorable hippo with sunglasses and it came out better than I could have imagined. Her and Rob were so friendly and I hope to come back for more some day!!! Best tattoo boutique ever!!

There aren't the words to express just how comfortable and PAINLESS my experience was at the 3rd St…read moreOak and Poppy. Yesterday I got my septum pierced for my birthday. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and immediately made to feel at ease. The shop itself is very clean and welcoming. The jewelry is beautifully displayed. I just wish I remembered the name of the woman who helped us because she made such an impression. She walked us through all the options at different price points in a way that felt completely neutral and respectful. There was no subtle steering toward something more expensive. It genuinely felt like whatever we chose was the right choice. Ivy, my piercer, was incredibly thorough and precise. I really want to stress how pleasant and painless this piercing was. I am talking pain level 0 out of 10. I AM NOT MAKING THAT UP. She is extremely clean in her process and talked me through every step so I always knew what was happening. The room itself felt like a doctor's office in terms of cleanliness and professionalism. I wanted to write this because there aren't many reviews here about septum piercings specifically. When I was searching for where I wanted to go, Oak and Poppy kept coming up but I didn't see many septum reviews. Ivy is a true professional in this work. It's clear she knows exactly what she's doing. The staff cares about the customer's experience and it shows every step of the way. If you're looking for a septum piercing and want an experience that feels comfortable, this is the place to go! Thank you Ivy! Thank you Oak and Poppy!

Oak and Poppy is my go-to place whenever I need a body piercing. Yes, they're a bit pricier than…read moresome other shops, but in my opinion, the difference in quality more than justifies the cost. The shop is exceptionally clean, professional, and carries a much larger selection of jewelry than most piercing studios I've visited. More importantly, every piercing I've gotten here has healed noticeably faster and with fewer issues compared to piercings I've had done elsewhere. You can tell that the piercers are highly skilled, knowledgeable, and take the time to do things properly. What really speaks to the quality of this place is that I've recommended Oak and Poppy to several friends and family members over the years. Every single one of them has come back to thank me for the recommendation because they had such a great experience. When it comes to body piercings, I've learned that cheaper isn't always better. For the cleanliness, expertise, jewelry selection, and overall experience, Oak and Poppy is absolutely worth it. I recommend them every chance I get.

They used outdated jewelry that is banned in other states and did not properly educate me on the rate of rejection for the piercing.
