Had a belly button piercing done here almost 5 months ago now.. never healed. this whole time i've been wondering maybe it was me and my anatomy. went back to talk to the only piercer there and he told me it just looked irritated i asked if i could switch out the jewelry thinking that would help. he told me i could so i did so. ended up getting infected and i was wondering what could possibly be wrong with it. after medication and such i wanted to just get rid of it so i went into a different piercing shop to get a second opinion. she looked at it and she removed it for me and showed me that he did in fact not even pierce my navel. he pierced my STOMACH. don't not go here because even after i went back to him for questions on what i can do to help it or what's wrong with it he brushed it off and told me js to wash it with soap. little did i know he didn't even pierce me in the right spot. how can you be so far off from my actual belly button that's ridiculous. read more

Responding back to owner Jesse... Your piercer could have thrown the studs away that he wrongfully put in my face, and fixed his mistake by simply putting in the jewelry I had originally paid for without trying to make me pay another 30$ for his "misunderstanding"... no one's body shaming I said your piercer wanted to go back to sitting on his LAZY ASS and play games on his phone or whatever he was doing when we first walked in there. Again zero stars lmao read more

DONT GO HERE!!! I went to get an piercing done 4 month ago and it came out to be a horrible experience, when I first wanted to change the earring 2 weeks ago because it wasn't healing and it started to smell bad I went to a different place and they told me the erring was incarnating in my skin and that it was extremely infected, I had to go to urgent care to cut it off and it was really painful, the doctor said the earring was too short and too thick and the material wasn't a good material. read more

First off let me just say Jessie the owner of the shop, is just a all around great guy. For him to go out of his way for a customer is effortlessly for him. In addition to having a great touch with the ink needle. I didn't feel any pain or discomfort when I got my tattoo. Matter of fact I still running my mouth, when he told me it was "it was all done". He also pierced the the back of my neck( meditation piercing) something I could not find any other piercer in Bakersfield to do. I gotta tell y'all Monster Ink has my business for life. Also the shop really caterers well to young people, it's a positive place for them to go & a watch a young man like Jessie work a honest, hardworking prosperous business. Go check him & his crew out, you will not be disappointed. read more

I got my tattoo, belly piercing and just got my nose piercing as well great staff always great customer service would definitely recommend this place to everyone. read more

Person that pierced my nose did good at piercing but when it came to do's and don't as a first timer with a nose piercing. All he said was soap and water and disinfect twice. Didn't suggest what I can use to disinfect. Didn't say anything else. Literally had to ask people with nose piercings how they took care of there's. I wouldn't recommend to come for piercings. read more

Was supposed to do this a while ago-- I got my lip pierced at a place where I live, and about two days later the little ball fell off. So frantically went on to Google to find a place that could replace it. So I wouldn't lose my new Piercing. I called this place and he's like yeah come on in and I'll fix it up. He didn't even charge me to get the New ball. I told him when I get my other side done if I lose a ball I'll be headed back his way to get another ball. Totally recommend them. This shop smelled clean, and pretty organized two. Two things I definitely look at before I get a new hole put in my body read more

They're overall an awesome bunch! I first went to their shop in 2010 to get my "free bitch" peace sign tattoo , although i loved it then, im not a huge fan of it anymore but i love the font and the work was great. I went to pay them a visit again, this time it was my sister and i we got our septum pierced. i thought i was gonna be in a world of pain, but Buddha i believe was the guy who did my piercing did a remarkable job on making the body modification process smooth. read more

Had my belly button done here. Good service, patient, and answered my questions, also they worked fast. Don't remember the guy's name.

If I could give this place no stars, I would. The only positive thing I have to say is the receptionist/piercer woman was very nice and had great customer service. On the other hand, the only artist I saw was way rude and disrespectful. He gave me attitude because I said he could go ahead and finish eating while we waited. This young "professional" glared at me, rolled his eyes, and said, "I KNOW" with more attitude than a teenage girl. He then ignored us and started talking with his friends about how messed up they got the night before. And, he was doing all this in the waiting area at the front of the store where customers first walk in. Very unprofessional. I don't care if you're hung over and need to finish your Subway sandwich while I wait to pay you for a service. I'm a customer. What kind of place has employees like that? I walked out. I'm telling everyone not to go there. That guy needs to be fired. read more
