I had a really good experience here last week. I never knew that tattoo parlors that use piercing needles were a lot better than the piercing guns that are used at mall jewelry stores. I guess that's why all of my previous piercings never healed properly and closed up. I wanted to get them re-pierced and after researching tattoo parlors in the area, I chose Sacred Souls because of all of the high reviews. I made an appointment online for a 30 minute ear piercing session, but I did not specify that I wanted 5 piercings (4 lobe/1 helix). Sin was gracious enough to accommodate my request. He explained their full process and showed me their starter jewelry. Once I picked out what I wanted, he took me to their piercing area in the back which looked clean, sterile, and well-organized. The room would look just like a doctor's office if it wasn't for the fun decor. The piercing itself kind of turned into a breathing/meditation session. Sin gave me a squish ball to squeeze and then his voice became calm and soothing. He gently advised me to take 2 deep breaths as he went forward with each piercing and these were not too painful. I was at a 3 on a scale of 1-10. Afterwards, Sin went over the after-care instructions. Despite my mistake with the scheduling, I never felt rushed during my appointment. It is obvious that Sin is knowledgeable and takes great care with the whole process and that safety and cleanliness are important to him. The gal at the front register was friendly and helpful as well. I felt like the pricing for the multiple piercings and starter jewelry was fair. I appreciated receiving a follow-up text the next day and so far, everything seems to be healing well. If you want to get your ears pierced, don't go to the mall like I did before. Definitely check out Sacred Souls. read more

First time at Sacred Souls. Perfect experience! Booking an appointment online was a breeze. Sin was there to greet me as soon as I walked in. He was incredibly professional and walked me through the entire ear piercing process, helping me pick out the perfect earring, and answering all my questions. The actual piercing was super quick and painless, which really speaks to Sin's expertise. I'm definitely coming back for any future ear piercings. read more

My friend and I wanted to get a few lobe and cartilage piercings. When I found Sin on yelp, I messaged him with some info and he was quick to respond! I booked an appointment with 3 days notice and he was able to squeeze me in with my friend together by coming into the shop early. The overall experience with Sin was so great. His studio was nice and clean. He walked through the process of picking out earrings for the piercings that we wanted and also walk through on how to clean the piercing for aftercare. I was pretty nervous in getting my conch and daith piercings but Sin made it calming to go through the process. His soothing words felt like it was a meditation session and he really reassured me that these piercings were what I wanted for a long time and it's gonna look so great on me. I highly recommend his services and I definitely want to come back next time for my next piercings read more

I've always wanted to adorn my lobes with more piercings -- specifically my seconds. I've been hesitant to do so because my first piercings were all types of messed up. I got them done as a baby and my grandma, who wanted to change out my earrings, decided to get them redone while we were in the Philippines because my piercing was too small for her to see. Over time, the piercings on my left lobe migrated and became one big one (enough to start gauges). Sin and Myra eased my worries. From the moment I got there, they examined my lobes, suggested placement and gave recommendations on the type and size of posts/earrings that'll be best for my ears and healing. I picked my earrings, and right off the bat they discussed pricing which is nice that they go over it first before the procedure itself. As for the procedure, they brought me into the room and everything was super clean and sterilized. They had my selected earrings running through the sterilizer and showed me the reader indicating that it's sterile. They were very meticulous about placement and constantly checked to see if it was to my liking. When the markings were finalized, I was guided through some deep breathing which helped ease my nervousness. It was a slight pinch at first that lingered for no more than a minute. The process for two lobe piercings took no more than 30 minutes. They discussed aftercare and next steps, with a recommendation to go down in post size once it has healed. I am super impressed with the level of professionalism, cleanliness and service. Would definitely go back for another piercing! read more

Omg, I love this place! I literally came in just to have Sin remove my nose ring for an international visa photo... and somehow walked out with two new piercings After he took out my nose ring, I told him how badly I wanted a tragus and another lobe piercing--but I left to take my visa photo and tried to act responsible. That lasted about 10 minutes. I attempted to put my nose ring back in, immediately wussed out, and ran right back to Sin for help. While I was there (again), I mentioned the piercings... and he hyped me up just enough to make it happen. Next thing you know, I'm getting both done--and honestly, no regrets. They look amazing! Sin was incredibly nice, thorough, and super clean. The process wasn't painful at all, and he even gave me a lollipop and told me to lie down for a bit before getting up--which, not gonna lie, made me feel very taken care of. The place itself has a really chill, cool vibe too. Safe to say... I went in for one thing and came out slightly more pierced and 100% happier. Would absolutely come back! read more

I have been getting pierced and tattooed by Sin and Chino for years and I am excited to see them in their own shop now. Even before they opened this location, I always trusted them with my piercings and tattoos at their previous studio and that same professionalism and quality has carried over into their new space. The shop itself is clean, welcoming, and has such a comfortable vibe. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Today I went in to get my front helix pierced by Sin and it was such a seamless experience. Sin was calm, knowledgeable, and made sure I felt completely comfortable the entire time. The placement was precise, everything was explained clearly, and the piercing was quick and smooth. I truly appreciate how much care and attention to detail goes into every appointment. Chino has done my tattoos over the years and his artistry and precision never disappoint. Every piece has healed beautifully and still looks amazing. The consistency in quality and professionalism is exactly why I keep coming back. If you are looking for artists who genuinely care about their craft and your experience I genuinely cannot recommend Sin and Chino enough. Their new shop is absolutely worth checking out! read more

What else can I say other than Sin is AWESOME! Since first finding Sin about 10 years ago, I refuse to let anyone else put holes in me lol. He has now done 7 of my piercings and I couldn't be happier. My most recent is my conch piercing. I have been wanting a conch for awhile and I finally decided to schedule my appointment. What I love about him is he really takes the time to analyze your anatomy. My ear anatomy is odd, or unique as Sin puts it, so I knew there was a chance that the placement I was thinking wasn't going to work. I was right. However I trust Sin and his knowledge, experience, and expertise that if he says something won't work...it won't. We decided on a different location which is more of upper conch and I love it! Sin also switched out my jewelry for my upper triple helix. So beautiful and aesthetic now. I noticed this time the usual nervous butterfly feeling before piercings wasn't there this time. Sin has a way of calming you down without you even know he's doing it. He really amazing at what he does! Thank you Sin! I love the new location! Can't wait to see you again for my next piercing! read more

I've been going to Sin since 2015 when he was at Inkies in Fremont. He has done all my piercings and I fully trust him! He is so kind, knowledgeable and very honest with his clients. The studio itself is small and piercings are done in a private room in the back. Unlike most places, they accept both cash and card. I would recommend Sin to anyone looking for a piercing or a consultation! read more

Sin has been my piercer for at least the last 12 or so years and is the ONLY piercer I will trust. I came in to get my tragus and nostril pierced in November and again in January to get my septum done. Sin is very insightful and knowledgeable regarding piercings. He allowed me to take my time as I looked through the jewelry and answered any questions I had. Sin is very sterile and takes his time to ensure the positioning of each piercing. He's also hella friendly and provides a positive atmosphere. I've never had any issues with my jewelry or piercings, and I also appreciate him answering any questions I have when I reach out to him outside of any appointments I've made. I highly recommend coming to him for any piercing needs. read more

A friend and I went in for small tattoos to honor someone we live who's passed away. Diego was very accommodating-- he worked with us on our awkward, specific timing, and was patient with our constant talking. When he saw what I wanted, he said, no that's too busy for blackwork that small, and he helped me find a similar image that made me happy but wouldn't look like a bruise in 2 years. Diego is very sweet, and while he was focused on the work and meticulous about the cleanliness and safety, he also laughed with us. My friend already went back for another small item and made an appointment for a bigger tat when she's back in town in December. I highly recommend Diego for his sweet demeanor, excellent work and attention to detail. read more

Was referred here by one of our tattoo owner shop friends for piercing jewelry. Was in the area so decided to stop by to look for a dermal jewelry for my husband since his fell out. When we walked in and was asked if we had an appointment we were like no we just need to buy jewelry, but we were told to buy jewelry you have to have an appointment.. he then gave us a card to scan the QR code to see if he had any appointments available today to buy jewelry but he didn't so we left.. lol i never heard of needing an appointment just to buy jewelry and been to tons of tattoo/piercing shops.. nice looking shop but definitely not a welcome in type of shop. Definitely would never come back, but pretty sure they don't care since they can deny a sale. Make sure to make your appointments to browse the jewelry lol read more

Booked a same-day appointment for a jewelry change with Sin! He was very patient, helpful, and hygienic with the jewelry change. I'm new to getting threadless jewelry in my piercings so he educated me on how to put on and take off my new earrings. The jewelry display he had was very well-organized and you could tell that he put a lot of time and energy into the upkeep of his display. He also frequently restocks his earrings so there's always something new to see in his jewelry case. Sin does require an appointment for jewelry changes so keep that in mind when you book with him! Thank you, again! read more

I went to Sin at Sacred Soul, based on my friend's recommendation, she's been going to him for years and I'm so glad I did. I wanted to get my second lobe re-pierced since I originally had it done back in high school with a gun at the mall, and I always felt like it was too close to my first piercing, so I let it close over time. Sin was seriously amazing. He was so accommodating, kind, and patient with all of us. I was pretty nervous going in because I'd never been pierced with a needle before, but he made me feel really comfortable and explained everything in a way that calmed me down. What I really appreciated is that he didn't just do the piercing and send us on our way, he made himself available during the healing process to answer any questions or concerns via IG DM's or the number that sends the appt reminders. About two months later, we all went back to downsize the flat backs since everything had healed, and that process was just as smooth. Overall, such a good experience and amazing vibes inside the studio. You can tell he really cares about his work and his clients. Would definitely recommend him. Thank you Sin! read more

I cannot say enough about how wonderful my experience with Chino was at Sacred Soul. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. Chino is not only extremely knowledgeable and professional, but he is also a truly talented artist who takes the time to listen and understand exactly what you want. He explained every step of the process, made sure I was comfortable, and put incredible care and detail into his work. The artistry, precision, and passion he puts into each tattoo is unmatched, and the final result exceeded my expectations. Sacred Soul is clean, inviting, and has such a positive, creative energy--it's clear they care deeply about their clients. Without a doubt, Sacred Soul has become my absolute go-to for all my tattoo needs, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chino to anyone looking for an amazing tattoo experience. read more

Sent Chino couple of pics and few msgs with ideas. Appointment set for a week later, few days passed he sent me a amazing rough sketch idea. He even suggested to put the butterfly upside down for better placement as i told him im more big on how the tattoo sits on that part of body. Let me tell you, he was not wrong and im absolutely in love with this piece. I tell people all the time that all my life getting tattoos were a overwhelming experience everytime, like going to get car repaired but you have no clue about cars? But not with Chino at SC. Too easy. Bright clinic vibe, we chopped it up the whole time, other clients, Sin, Damian, Chino, everyone. Listening to music, laughing, making jokes, it was like the coolest barbershop vibes. Great customer service, Chino even accepted my last last last minute request on the spot about the crescent moon and he nailed that too. Sacred Souls is going to put Un City on the tattoo map for sure, just check out the fine line work Chino did, half man / half amazing, i can finally say i have my "tattoo guy" now after many years, I already have plans to go back to SC and im bringing friends and family with me. read more

We got an eyebrow piercing by Sin & he did an excellent job--highly recommended! Sin has a kind, empathetic, & gentle bedside manner that puts both his excited customer & their nervous parents at ease & comfortable, all while thoroughly guiding us through the necessary & important details of the procedure & the after-care. The studio space screams both artistry & professionalism. As longtime residents, we are so grateful to have a safe place right in town for our children & our neighbors to participate in tattoo & piercing culture. Local discount if you show your Logan High ID! Thank you, Sin, & thank you, Sacred Soul! read more

I've been going to Sin for years now, and he's honestly the only person I trust with my piercings. He's super patient, caring, and really takes the time to make sure you're calm and ready he even walks you through breathing exercises to help you relax, which makes a huge difference. He did my belly piercing when I was 15 and my tragus when I was 25. Both times were smooth, professional, and super clean. Sin explains everything clearly, takes hygiene seriously, and makes the whole experience feel safe and positive. If you're looking for a piercer who's skilled, gentle, and truly cares about your comfort, I highly recommend Sin! read more

Man, where do I start?? Lol I got my second ink done by Chino and it came out amazing!! The shop is super clean and has a great vibe!! Everyone that we encountered at the shop were all so nice and welcoming. I wanted to add a tribal Filipino sun around my existing tattoo of my daughter's name and he did not disappoint. Chino did a great job blending it, but he he even fixed (centered) my first tattoo. My wife and daughter also got a couple done by him as well. I highly recommend this shop if you're looking to get any ink done. Chino, you are the man!! read more

I had such an amazing experience at Sacred Soul in Union City! Chino absolutely killed all my tattoo! his line work is clean, detailed, and exactly what I envision. He always takes his time to make sure placement and design are perfect and makes my whole experience comfortable. Sinn does all my piercings and he was just as incredible! Super professional, gentle, and walked me through the entire process so I felt totally at ease. The shop is clean, welcoming, and has such a good vibe. If you're looking for quality tattoos or piercings, this is the spot. Highly recommend both of them! read more

First off, huge shoutout to Sin, the piercing master who had me feeling like this was no big deal - even when I was feeling ALL the nerves. Sin came through with hair accessories to keep my hair in check. Yes, you heard that right - the man was prepared for EVERYTHING. Clean studio, calming vibe, and zero regrets (except maybe not coming sooner, but we won't dwell on that). I initially went for my rook piercing and was comfortable with Sin's process I came back to do my tragus a couple days later! On top of that, I needed replacement jewelry for an old piercing, and I found something there that perfectly matched my style. Long story short: if you're busy but still want to rock your piercings like the queen you are, Sacred Soul Studio is where you need to be. I'll definitely be back... because we all know moms deserve a little more balance - and a little more bling. read more

Wanted to give Sin and this business another shoutout and submit a review here! It's clear he's knowledge, caring, and passionate about what he does. The shop is clean as is the piercing room. I just had a simple 2nd lobe piercing but he still gave me a stress ball and guided the process with breathing exercises. This would be a great place for first piercings, kids/teens, or anyone who's a bit nervous. My appt was for Wednesday afternoon and there were other clients back to back, so if you have some questions, maybe contact Sin or your artist ahead of time. I believe Sin is the only piercer at the moment, so he does his best to manage the front desk and keep the appts timely too. Also, a good amount of stud jewelry options even if you don't choose to upgrade. read more

Very clean and professional service answered all questions they seem very good on keeping up with sanitizing and a very good selection on jewelry read more

I'm so glad I found this spot on Yelp, this is a 5 star, 10/10 review for Sin who pierced my ears! I was convinced to come here by the other reviews for him and they are definitely not exaggerating! Sin is professional, friendly, and warm from the start and I felt very comfortable and safe throughout the entire process. I got a rook, conch, and pair of lobes pierced. I called beforehand to ask about their appointments and it was very easy to make it online for the next day. During the appt, he showed me the different earrings that came with the piercing, let me hold them up to my ear to see the different sizes and styles (I chose to pay addl to upgrade my jewelry), and also made sure that I'd have enough room for my earphones if I got the rook and the conch (which I was a bit worried about). Didn't feel rushed or pressured at all during this whole process. Then I was walked back to a very clean piercing room. All the earrings he and I handled previously were fully sanitized. He was super encouraging and genuine in his care when I was nervous about the piercings. As mentioned in the other reviews, he walked me through breathing exercises which really helped. It's been 3 weeks and my piercings are healing beautifully. I will definitely come back to Sin for more ear piercings, and would recommend him to any of my friends!! read more

I followed my artist Deasy to Sacred Soul, and had my first tatt done at this location yesterday. I was in the shop for 10 hours and there are a few take aways I can share with you as you decide if this is the place to hit up: 1. The place is CLEAN. Everything is in order, workspaces aren't cluttered or dirty. 2. The energy is the place is positive and "flow-y". It feels really open and the vibe is on point. 3 The work I saw being done by the other artists was no less than impressive. And hella people came through all day for piercings too! When I first walked in Sin greeted me with warmth and excitement. Throughout the day we chatted about our tatts and future tatts and he definitely kept checking on me and if I needed anything, wanted a drink, etc. Definitely felt like he cared about my experience but also we had great conversation too. My boy Deasy will do all my poly tatts FOR LIFE. The level of thought and intention he puts into his design and the work behind it is second to none in my opinion. We chop it up while he's working or he lets me take a nap while inking me up lol. My arm piece is only half done at the time of this review, but Deasy has done other work for me in the past and they are my FAVORITE pieces. I can't recommend Sacred Soul enough! Get your tatts and piercings here -- you'll be glad you did! read more

Sin is extremely passionate about his craft. He is patient, informative, and really just gives you top tier service. I would have to say he is one of the most professional piercers I've ever come across. Placement and symmetry are super important to him, he usually gives multiple placement options and will consider the piercing from all angles to achieve the look you're going for. I'm so happy to hear Sin is piercing again and in a city closer to me!!! I got my conch pierced and it is healing beautifully! Can't wait to see him again for my next piercing! read more

I walked in to purchase jewelry on 2/24/25 and was excited to see my options. I was a bit nervous as I tend to struggle with social anxiety. Right of the bat the vibe was a bit hostile. It was my second time visiting this specific piercer "sin" and I felt as I was being rushed and talked down to in a rude way. My first experience here was not like that at all. I could feel myself getting more nervous as more time in the studio passed. I asked to see more jewelry options and he was being rude when telling me which pieces he should pull for me to look at. I could sense he was impatient as I was taking my time looking. He also rudely told my boyfriend to move to the side so I could use the mirror as "he wasn't going to use it either way". I felt uncomfortable but still decided to proceed and purchase a nose piercing worth $130. In the back he proceeded to be more hostile and told me I wasn't holding the mirror right and implying that I wasn't paying attention. Instead of directing me and making me feel comfortable during the appointment, I felt embarrassed, rushed, and like I was being talked down to. I will never be returning here for any services and will not recommend anyone to get piercings done here. Yes everything was clean and the piercing is nice but attitude and customer service are everything in a business. Please learn to be more respectful or nice to clients because we are paying for services and not doing things for free. read more
