I have yet to find a spot by myself so I just bit the bullet for paying for valet. We came in an hour before closing and were greeted by Samara - who did a wonderful job getting us set up for our spontaneous piercings! We were then directed to Lucas. He did my friend's tragus piercing and my dual lobe piercings. I haven't been pierced since I was a baby, but Lucas made the whole experience real easy. Overall, he's a super chill guy that makes an effort to strike up a conversation and make you feel comfortable about the whole process. Other than the fleeting hot sensation from the initial pinch, the process was pretty painless. Bonus: we got some sick stickers featuring his bull dog Everyone we met at the shop was friendly, knowledgable, and professional. Their website is also a fantastic resource in case you don't ask all of your questions about healing in-person. My friend and I truly felt like we were in great hands so kudos to everyone for setting such an easygoing vibe. I've been back a few times since January for a quick monthly check and to get my piercings downsized recently. As expected, I was met with top-tier customer service, true to the shop's personal brand. I feel confident coming back for future piercings. Lastly, if you're downsizing - I highly recommend making an appointment. I was in and out (no more than 15 minutes), but I was surrounded by 4+ walk ins. It's really easy to do so over their website vs. calling.

He also gives cat stickers every time (love cat enthusiasts) and he makes you feel so safe and comfortable no matter what you're looking to get done. Couldn't recommend more! Recently got my nose ring in after he advised me to keep my stud in for a long time. He's also done my conch and inner helix. All fabulous experiences and I will keep coming back!

I'll definitely be back for any future piercings and jewelry purchases. I can't recommend Sharkbite Piercings enough. Stop looking, book here.

I have been to this shop multiple times and have been helped by Mason and Logan each time. I've…read morealways had an amazing experience. They explain all the information and pros and cons of potential decisions very clearly, never make you feel rushed, and give you honest advice in your best interest, even when it's at the cost of them making more money. And most importantly they are incredibly kind and make the process fun! I got my third ear lob piercings done by Mason over a year ago and had a great experience throughout the piercing process. Both he and Logan made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process from exploring concepts together, helping me pick jewelry, decide what type of piercing to do and where, and actually doing the piercing. The studio and the piercer's sanitation processes were top notch. The piercing process was as painless as possible and the communication throughout the entire process made it easy and comfortable. Even though I don't live close to this shop and there are other piercing studios nearby to me, I wanted to come to Rainbow Piercing to help me when I had an issue with my naval piercing because I knew I could trust them. Mason helped me again today when I couldn't get my navel piercing put back in. I had left my jewelry out for a week and I couldn't install it into the piercing by myself because the piercing had collapsed and trying to put the a piece in was painful, really tight, and dangerous to do by myself. They walked me through the process and were able to quickly and sanitarily install a piece into my piercing using a tapered tool. Once again, he made me feel very comfortable with knowing what to expect and making it happen as painlessly as possible. I would pick Rainbow Piercing 10 of 10 times and can't wait to get another piercing here!

The shop is super clean, well organized, and has a really cool vibe! Rose was incredibly professional and took the time to explain everything step by step, which made me feel really comfortable. She was patient with all my questions and made sure I understood after case before I left. The piercings were quick, precise, and way less stressful than I expected. They also have a beautiful selection of jewelry! Lots of unique options both gold and titanium. I'd definitely recommend Rainbow Piercing & Jewelry to anyone looking for a professional and friendly place to get pierced. I'll for sure be coming back!

Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she always takes her time, checks in throughout the entire process, and makes sure you're comfortable and okay. I genuinely trust her with everything! My previous conch that she pierced healed amazingly, and she even downsized the jewelry for me today! It's honestly so reassuring knowing I'm in such good hands every time I come in. My friend also got her conch pierced today and unfortunately felt a little lightheaded afterward. Nat immediately took care of her, comforted her, fanned her, gave her a lollipop, and made sure she was okay. There was also another worker there who was SO sweet and even bought my friend a soda out of her own pocket. That honestly says so much about how caring everyone there is. The entire workplace environment is so welcoming, kind, and comforting. You can really tell that everyone genuinely cares about their clients and wants them to feel safe and taken care of. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my piercings! I will definitely be back again and again.

Our pediatrician recommended this other piercing studio in Irvine because they specialize in…read morepediatric piercings. It was a little out of the way and was super expensive so I searched around Yelp to see which ones nearby use needles and saw Paradigm's account. After seeing their straightforward pricing on their webpage, we decided to give them a try. Since our daughter was under 11 months old, we called ahead and were thoroughly informed about what to expect. Pediatric piercings are done on Sundays, which worked perfectly for our schedules. Her pricing already includes the earrings, which was a plus. The entire experience was thoughtful and professional. She first applied numbing cream and let it sit for about 20 minutes. She then placed a headband on our daughter to keep her hair out of the way, carefully marked both ears, and had us verify that the placement looked even before proceeding. Our daughter cried at first, which is to be expected, but once she saw her reflection afterward, she smiled! We really appreciated how gentle, patient, and detail-oriented she was throughout the process. It made what could have been a stressful experience much easier for both baby and parents. We highly recommend Paradigm to anyone looking for a safe and professional place for infant ear piercings.

Booking online was quick and easy. Sheryl had excellent communication before my appointment, sent reminders, and provided clear directions to the shop. When I arrived, I checked in, showed my ID, completed the paperwork, and got to choose my jewelry. The entire experience was comfortable and stress-free, and the shop itself is absolutely adorable. Sheryl is professional, calm, friendly, and very approachable. She made me feel at ease throughout the whole process. After my piercing, I had a few questions, and Sheryl was always quick to respond. She is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what she does. Her pricing is very reasonable, the jewelry selection is beautiful, and she has a great eye for curating and stacking piercings. If you're considering multiple piercings, she's fantastic at helping you choose pieces that work well together. Overall, I highly recommend her. Between her professionalism, quality jewelry, fair pricing, and outstanding customer service, the experience was excellent from start to finish. I can't wait to go back for my next piercing!

This was my third time visiting the Baron Art location in Orange, but I booked with MJ this time…read morebecause I was specifically looking for her specialty in abstract ink wash brushstroke styles. From the very first message, the entire experience was incredibly smooth and pleasant. MJ was highly communicative leading up to our appointment date. I had a lot of ideas, and she was extremely patient and accommodating as we went back and forth on styles. She even had me come in for a quick, in-person consultation beforehand, which was fantastic because it made collaborating and aligning our visions face-to-face so much easier. On the day of the session, the process was amazing. MJ constantly checked in to ensure I was comfortable. She has a remarkably light hand, there were moments where it felt like nothing at all. I highly recommend MJ, especially if you are looking for traditional abstract brushstroke work, though her talent and professionalism make it clear she can adapt to whatever style you throw her way. She completely exceeded my expectations!
