Typically, I do not post reviews, but when a business has it really together, I believe, it is required. I had done my research and due diligence prior to my appt, but I was still nervous on the day of my appointment. These are my first piercings, and they are associated with personal and cultural reasons. I did not want them colored by any negative experience. I would 100% recommend Rose Body Piercing for anyone contemplating first time piercing. For any piercing. From Carla's great and caring personality as a jewelry specialist, and Evan's studied and patient approach, this place is a SD jewel. I will definitely return for future piercings, and recommend them in my community. Also, aftercare followup by their team....awesome! Tlazocamati, Ana read more

Called ahead for a walk in appointment for a piercing and everyone was so kind. The piercer Evan was excellent. I didn't catch the girls name who helped me out but she was awesome and really kind. The place is clean and the jewelry selection is awesome. I appreciated all the information regarding aftercare and have already scheduled a downsize. They seemed to care about the customer and made it very clear. Loved it. read more

(Nose Piercing) I had an amazing experience at Rose Body Piercing from start to finish. As soon as I walked in, the front desk staff made me feel welcome and comfortable. The person who checked me in and out was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. She took the time to answer all of my questions and then passed me onto Evan (the owner) who helped me pick out the perfect jewelry without making me feel rushed. Evan, the owner, did my piercing and was absolutely top-notch. He explained every step of the process in detail, made sure I was comfortable, and paid close attention to cleanliness and precision. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and takes pride in his work. The entire studio is spotless, professional, and has a great atmosphere. They walk you through the aftercare process thoroughly and make sure you leave feeling confident about taking care of your new piercing. If you're looking for a place that combines professionalism, cleanliness, quality jewelry, and exceptional customer service, Rose Body Piercing is the place to go. Huge shoutout to Evan and the awesome front desk staff for making the whole experience easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend them and will definitely be coming back for future piercings! -Renzo read more

Rose Body Piercing - Nose Piercing - Piercing Near Me - San Diego, California

Carla, the jewelry specialist and receptionist, was really friendly and helpful. I got the helix piercing. The price was also very reasonable! Less than the other shops. The experience was great. I did a walk in and they so happen to have a spot open! Will definitely return for future piercing! read more

Honest and knowledgeable establishment. My daughter went to a shady place in Boston and got her belly button pierced - not surprisingly it got infected and later her body started rejecting the piercing. Jesse looked at it twice (had her see doctor) and then took it out once infection resolved. Took time explaining to my daughter about anatomy, piercing, and care. Super clean place and very nice staff read more

I got my nose pierced and an old nose piercing reopened here back in October 2025 and Evan was very professional. Went back for my downsizing and it was the same professional experience! They also helped me order a top for another piercing I had! The rest of the staff Carla, Jesse, and Brielle are also super nice and helpful as well! Will only be coming here for any piercings or jewelry! Thank you! read more

Rose Body Piercing - Right nostril! Nose and philtrum jewelry! Beautiful - Piercing Near Me - San Diego, California

Came here for the first time via reviews from Yelp and Google!!! So glad I came and got pierced here! From the moment I reached out to book all the way through to the moment I walked out pierced, the experience was great! Evan took my inquiry and was very communicative up until my appt. Jesse and Evan greeted my friend and I so warmly and walked me through picking out jewelry and paperwork. My friend had a handful of questions because she was thinking about getting pierced in the future and Jesse was so thorough at explaining everything. The studio was clean, well decorated, and well kept! They also asked if we wanted any refreshments:) Evan brought me back to a room once he was done setting up and sanitizing everything. He explained the whole process, cleaned my nose, and drew on the perfect placement of dots for where he would pierce. He had me lay down so I was comfy and was super reassuring and calming and gentle with the whole process. The piercings were painless and went smoothly! I'm so freaking happy with my double nose piercings and will definitely be back for more! They also have a great selection of jewelry! Thanks so much!!!! read more

Came here after bopping around town at a few shops. I had a triple helix and done in my right ear as well as a nose piercing at another shop, but had some piercings done on my left ear at this one. The level of professionalism and knowledge is outstanding, and super reassuring. Evan's suggestions on jewelry and piercing location on my helix were super informed and I'm very happy with the result. His technique is also great too, it didn't hurt anywhere near as much as my other ear did with the other shop. The jewelry is beautiful and they really care about the quality of the jewelry they source, which is great cause I'm pretty sure subpar jewelry from the last shop has delayed the healing of my other piercings. read more

I planned on getting my septum pierced for my birthday and was able to make an appointment easily online. They had a great selection of jewelry though be advised that beauty and great quality come at a cost. It had been years since I upgraded my nose jewelry but as a gift to myself, I got new jewelry on both nostrils to compliment my new septum swag. They worked with my vision and budget and Evan was great with the piercing itself and making honest recommendations. Carla at the front desk was also super friendly and patient with me as I made my jewelry decisions. I have gotten quite a lot of piercings through the years at different places and I can hands down say that I highly recommend this shop, staff, selections! They even recommended a shop near me for when I'm ready to trade out my jewelry!! read more

After getting pierced by Evan at Rose Body Piercing I wouldn't go anywhere else. He's now pierced my tragus and flat and my teenage daughter's 3rds on her lobes, helix, and conch. Both Carla and Evan have taken such good care of us- helping select the right jewelry, walking us through the healing process, making sure we feel safe and comfortable. I've recommended them to a couple of friends with younger children for lobe piercings and everyone has been very happy with their experiences at Rose! read more

After a long time thinking about it I finally decided to follow through and get my nose pierced. This would be my first piercing ever and I was so excited. I asked around and searched for a place to go and came across Rose Body Piercing. I made an appointment online and was then contacted by Evan confirming my appointment and giving me some helpful information to locate the shop. The shop is super clean and nicely laid out. Evan was amazing from the moment I met him. I was a little nervous and he was able to quickly put all of my concerns to rest and was patient in answering all of my questions. We went over expectations, caring for my piercing and jewelry selection. He marked the area to be pierced and confirmed that I was happy with the area. I was getting a little nervous and before I knew it the piercing was done and I couldn't be happier. If you are looking for a place to get your first piercing , or a new place to go I 100% recommend Evan at Rose Body Piercing- he is an artist and professional at what he does. read more

Rose Body Piercing - I work in a very conservative job that only allows a stud. Once this heals I can't wait to wear a hoop when I'm on my own time. - Piercing Near Me - San Diego, California

My blury picture doesn't do the piercings justice, but... I had the pleasure of coming in to Rose Body Piercing today and everything from beginning to end was wonderful. Both Carla and Jesse helped me pick out 2 beautiful pieces and decide on the perfect placement. Jesse pierced me and it was painless! Would absolutely trust this studio for all future piercings. read more

Rose Body Piercing - Piercing Near Me - San Diego, California

Got my nose pierced today and it could not have been a more pleasant experience. The store was extremely organized and clean and the vibes were immaculate. Evan walked me through every step and answered all my questions. He and the team even recommended places for me to go to when I got back to Seattle to eventually downsize the size of my stud. Honestly no notes, amazing amazing experience! Thanks to all the kind faces, love my new piercing! read more

I don't even know where to start. If there were 7 stars, I'd give them a solid 6, but I'm stuck with 5.. Evan, is the owner and piercer and have the best personality for it. We did three walk in piercings for a bachelorette weekend and he catered to all of us. Extremely satisfied with his process beforehand, the sterilization, the making sure the areas were anatomically correct for the piercings, the prep, the honesty. I'm autistic and piercings can get me a little worked up, but Evan let me take my breaths until I was ready to proceed. He even offered me a towel to fidget with (the lining on it calmed me). Piercings went well. Not even in much pain today, the day after. Super clear about post care instructions and making sure we all knew we are more than welcome to come back for refitting. Also recommended additional locations closer to us for the refitting. Thanks again, Big E. Stay fresh. Stay blessed. Never forget Big Dawg. read more

Evan is awesome !!!! He is super down to earth and got my piercing changed out in like 5 minutes. Just opened his shop here but he has years of experience. I can already tell from how easily he answered my questions, made me feel comfortable (even with a simple process like changing my piercing out), and how fast the whole appointment was ! I chose a 14 karat rose gold ring from my previous stud. Next time I'll take more photos but he does have an assortment of amazing jewelry! They're from Neometal company and Evan informed me that it is of high quality but if for any reason in the off chance something goes awry, the company has a lifetime warranty so he would be able to change out the jewelry free. I do not anticipate anything happening but it's nice to have that guarantee ! Feels like an indicator of good company and quality jewelry. Hoping to get more piercings done here in the future! I HIGHLY recommend his business; coming from an anxious person, it's best to have a piercing artist who is chill and makes one comfortable. This is the best place so far and on par with my original piercing place in nyc. Please go to Evan for read more

Evan is amazing. From my first call to the actual piercings, the process was fast and simple. I was able to see him right away. Evan proactively sent directions on how to get in to the shop.

The piercer Evan then helped me with my issue and I left the shop incredibly satisfied n my piercings are healing great. Hope this helps with your decision. read more

Amazing, gentle, friendly, and affordable!

Went in on a Saturday morning to downsize my third lobes. Evan did them back in September. As always, everyone was so welcoming! We decided we would move the third gem to my second hole and get white gems for my first and thirds, descending in size. After sanitizing the room, Evan switched everything out and it was such a quick and painless process! I'm so happy to finally have extremely high quality jewlery that I can wear 24/7! read more

They are responsive, kind and I would trust them with any piercing. I have been pierced by both Jesse and Evan, and they are both sooo light-handed and quick. The actual piercing process was painless both times, and the aftercare has been so easy. (These piercings were/are helix piercings btw) I let them know beforehand that I was scared and they never let me see the needles. Carla is also so so good at what she does, and she helped my best friend style and upgrade the earrings on both of her ears! If you're wondering where to go, this is 100% the spot. I've been recommending them to everyone that I talk to, and will be back for more :') read more

This was such a nice piercing studio! I appreciate that I could make an appointment ahead of time. Jesse was so nice and shared his knowledge with me while he pierced. Will definitely come back again for any future piercings. read more
