    Wow Martha was AMAZING I was so scared to get my 5 month old babygirls ears pierced I didn't want to take her just anywhere. she was so quick with the needle way better than a gun she made my baby smile and laugh before piercing her I am so thankful I found her made my experience so much better thank you so much Martha

    Pete & Martha run a top notch Tattoo and Piercing shop. Customer service and workmanship is number one in my book, I highly recommend Nasty Tattoos & Piercing 10 out of 10

    Ricardo really did a great job on my tattoos! Was really cool and didn't hesitate to do his thing! I'm already thinking about my next tat and I'm for sure coming back here! Great price as well

    Pete ( the owner was understanding of my cover-up . All the tattoo artist I went to said my finger cover-up couldn't be done . It was a botched tattoo I had done yrs ago. When I told him about it it wasn't a rejection from him , he said he was looking forward to the challenge . He put me in the trusted and gentle hands of Ricardo . I am so happy with the final result . 10 yrs of hiding this tattoo out of embarrassment. From laser treatment , to surgical consultation , to the let down of numerous tattoo artist rejection . Ricardo thank you for doing this and Pete thank you for your positive attitude. Nasty Tattos is one of the most cleanest Tattoo parlors I have never been to . Their bathroom was also very clean ( as a woman that's important ) I recommend them to family and friends . Going back soon to cover up another tattoo.

    I love my new tattoo!

    Pete has such a gentle touch and except for the point my body couldn't take anymore, no pain and not a drop of blood.

As a tattoo artist if you don't have a specific deposit policy then it is YOUR job to make it clear to your client! My niece made an appointment a month in advance and the day OF Elise decided to cancel because she "didn't have the right size needle" GIRL you had a whole month to be prepared for that appointment Elise rescheduled but my niece decided she didn't want to continue with her & cancelled 6 days before. NOWHERE on her page did it say deposits were non-refundable. NOWHERE on her appointment form did it say deposits were non-refundable. NOWHERE in the messages that they exchanged did she SAY deposits were non-refundable. Did she go & change her policy AFTER my niece asked for her deposit back? Of course she did! Because she knows she's wrong! We've tried reaching out to her & she refuses. We've tried reaching out to the shop & can't get an answer. I went by the shop at 5:30pm on a Tuesday and they were closed, even though their hours are Tuesday-Saturday 12-8pm.

    Still the best. I went last month to get my navel done, but alas, my navel was deemed un-do-able…read more I really appreciate the fact that Karissa and her crew are professional enough to give you an honest answer about your anatomy, rather than lie about it to take your money even if they know it will not work. This is why you should ALWAYS go to licensed and APP professionals. So we talked over the rest of my list of wants, and came down to the last one I had a good anatomy for. So I ended up getting my septum done!! I was not super prepared (pro-tip, trim the nose hairs before you do this one or your pics of it freshly done will be scary) and I hadn't really thought about jewelry options for it. Karissa took her time with me and helped me pick out a pretty little captured bead that I was pretty sure I could live with while it healed. (I have the jewelry attention span of a ...oh looook a shiny new piece of jewelry....) As always, she was professional and explained the steps to me, and warned me what to expect during the first few weeks of healing. I am very happy with it, it's healing nicely, and I cannot wait to go, in September, and have the captured bead ring switched out for something else, once it's all the way healed. Thank you for another successful hole in my head, Karrisa!

    Let me start out by saying when I went in November to get pierced it was such an easy and nice…read moreexperience. The location odds clean, the team was kind, and the process was efficient. But as I wrote this 7 months out, I have to say I am incredibly disappointed by the jewelry. I was told the jewelry was high quality, and if it breaks I just need to bring it in to get fixed. The problem is, what happens when it breaks and I don't have it? I got 4 ear piercings in November and as of today, 3 of those 4 have fallen out and gotten lost. The first was in February, the second in May and the third one today. And these aren't cheap earrings. I spent nearly $1,500 for these and to have them disappear after normal wear is incredibly disheartening. Would I go back, I don't know. Maybe. But I have to believe there is a place with just as nice people and less expensive jewelry that doesn't just fall out of the ear during the healing process.

    My girlfriend and I drove to this tattoo shop in Downtown Merced to get her belly button pierced on…read morea Saturday because it's my go-to piercing shop in the Merced area. When we got there, we were informed that the piercing lady wouldn't be in until 1:30 pm. We went out for a walk and came back around that time, only to have to wait another 30 minutes to 1 hour for the piercing lady to come in. We didn't really mind too much at the time. When we finally went in, the Lady was really inviting and nice, however, it was noticeable that she was feeling rushed. She marked my girlfriend and all looked good. She also reassured my girlfriend that there would be no issues with it and it as all okay. About a month later, we went to get my eyebrow pierced and then also asked about the general redness around my girlfriend's healing belly piercing. Looking at it, suddenly the piercing lady suggested that my girlfriend didn't get it pierced with her and she strongly DENIED ever seeing her, making my girlfriend feel insecure and uncomfortable. (We told her we saw her about 3 weeks to a month ago.) The lady was notably rushed again when we came the second time. Overall, good vibes and knowledge about piercings but professionalism and kindness was lacking. My girlfriend and I left the shop that day upset and in anger. We understand that she may not remember every person, but denying that one modified a person's body is just rude and uncalled for. UPDATE (6/20/26): As of lately; Shop owner has denied ever performing our piercing, I would not trust this business at all.
