    our third piercing
    Andrea M.

    Before my friend and I came to oracle tattoo studio to get our third piercing , i checked the reviews and heard that everyone was great and nice there and they were right! I never got his name but our piercer was so nice to us and friendly. We had a couple of conversations throughout the service and always made sure to ask us if we were ready before he pierced us. But overall he did a great job on my friend and I . If you want to go get a piercing come here! Overall Great staff and environment!

    Just went in to do a Dark Souls tattoo came out feeling very lucky I chose such amazing artists. I will be getting all future tattoos there and you should too.

    Karin is an exceptional artist and she will be the only artist that will be placing ink on my skin. Karin was referred to me by a friend several years ago and I have been back several times. I brought w/me a brief explanation of what I was thinking of getting and Karin provided an idea that was absolutely beautiful. If you are looking for a piece of art you will be proud to have on your skin you must call Karin and set up a consult.

    Karin Ackerman has been my artist since 2011. Shes worked at many shops rated the best in san diego. Of my eight tattoos, shes done seven to include the project we're currently working on. Her realistic and neo-traditional work is unparalleled! She is a straight shooter, great artist and wonderful person. I will be hard pressed to find the same quality I've found in her and I highly reccomend her to anyone looking for new art, from your first tattoo to your fiftieth.

    Karin has been my one and only artist since 2011! I love my new sleeve tat! A few more sessions to go! She is the only one I'd recommend going to! Her talent and skills are on the same if not higher than most artist in the Southern California area!

    I had mt very first nose piercing on 3/18, as a birthday present to myself doing something that no…read moreone else would expect me to do. This was an important thing for myself to do and this place was recommended to me by a coworker who had piercings done there. Very simply...everyone was helpful with the process. it was a busy time where people were walking in and almost filling the place up. I brought my husband and my kids (older kids like adults) to join me. I was assigned to Mateo. From beginning to end, he was very kind and made me feel comfortable for what I was about to do. Place was very clean, organized and had sterile rooms for the piercings. I really appreciated the privacy too. Every step Mateo took, he educated me and informed me every step he was about to do before the nose piercing began. Then it was over....and was very happy how it turned out and how supportive he was moving forward. I realize everyone else experience has been or will be different, but I think it is worth mentioning the good experiences for first timers like myself. Going back for a follow up to make sure all is fine (which I think it has been) and going for a second piercings on my ears. :)

She had her hands full with customers both on the phone and in person, and made sure each of us was seen promptly. There is no lot parking but I got lucky with street parking when I went. The doorway is oddly cramped but there is a separate seating area just inside to the left, and they have a lot of cool art and cases full of jewelry on offer. My appointment started on time and Francheska was so helpful! She worked with me to pick the appropriate piece of jewelry for my piercing and changing it out was quick and painless. I appreciate that she offered options at lower price points, I think that is a major green flag for integrity. She asked if I had any other questions and she was able to accommodate a quick piercing cleaning as well as a downsize. I did not know one of my other piercings needed to be further downsized so I am grateful she noticed and had the time to do that for me as well. Overall, I have been coming to Enigma for all my piercing needs for as long as I've been in San Diego, and will continue to do so. Francheska is new to Enigma (but plenty of prior experience), but I highly recommend her for your piercing related needs!

    This piece deserves its own review. Came back for my second leg piece and booked it once again with…read moreCarlos. Had a consultation with Carlos a week before about my second piece and I showed him my pinterest inspo piece and he totally gave me his insight and after the first piece, I know better to take his advice and he booked me for the following week (Today 9/20) because he wanted to customize the inspo piece I showed him which I thought was very awesome of him. Tattoo day comes around and when I arrived at the shop, he showed me the piece he worked on and I completely FELL IN LOVE with the piece. I do have to admit though getting this piece tatted on to my lower leg was a bit painful BUT even through all that, Carlos made this session a breeze and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. The owner of the shop Rovie and Hazel were there aswell and it was all great evening from there, they were so friendly, nice, and supportive of each other's work. Carlos totally did great with this piece and really hooked it up. He's totally doing my whole leg sleeve Lastly, I get that people might have different experiences here and I can't totally speak for that BUT in my opinion with the Quality of Work that each artist do here, I don't see how they're getting a One to Two Star reviews, that's quite harsh. I have nothing but a great experience here (by looking at the pictures attached) and definitely will be booking for my next piece

    If you want high quality piercings from someone that is knowledgeable and pays attention to detail…read morethis is the spot to go to. I came in to get my earlobe re-pierced since the previous person that did it pierced my right earlobe all crooked. They did it with a piercing gun which is already a red flag for me. It was more embarrassing for me because I got fat earlobes also known as Buddha ears so it didn't sit right with me. Anyways I called up this spot and they directed me to their master piercer "G". This dude is super knowledgeable and actually took the time to measure my ears to make sure they were gonna be pierced correctly and within alignment. Then he explained the process and even recommended a longer earring due to my earlobes being fat, to give it room to swell without being smothered. Then he used a real piercing needle and pierced my ear effortlessly. After that he gave me detailed instructions on care and to even come back within a couple weeks to do a checkup to see if everything is aligned correctly. This is the guy to go to if you ever want to get any piercing. I highly recommend him and will be definitely going back and telling all my friends about the go to spot to get piercings. 10/10!!

I was checked in as a walk-in and I…read moreonly had to wait about 30 minutes which I felt was fair-- the staff while I was waiting, let me pick out which size I would like and I was kind of unsure because I didn't know if I wanted small or big and they were very kind and helping me figure out which size I would like. My piercer was named Lily and she was very kind. She could tell again that I was unsure of which size I wanted and put each size up to my nose and was very patient in letting me decide. She was very nice and soft spoken and did a really good job with my piercing and I'm very satisfied. She was very thorough and explaining the directions of the aftercare with my piercing. Overall, this was definitely a really nice experience. My little sister got her earrings changed out and they were so kind. She is only nine years old. They are very patient and she was very scared but they did a really good job. Definitely recommend coming here!

We love that she let our group into the private room and she gave our other child a lollipop - a cute touch and kept her busy. This was the highlight of our experience, working with her. We were a walk in so that experience was a little overwhelming at first; having 2-3 people greet us, sign waivers and verbally explain the pricing to us. There was one main person that was just running through everything so quickly that I just couldn't register everything they were saying. I think it would be nice to have a visual price list to look at for our own pace while we make a decision. It felt pressured and rushed. But once we were actually taken care of by Lily and one other person, it didn't feel as overwhelming. Overall aside from the first part of the experience, it was fantastic. Our teen felt comfortable with Lily and it went so smoothly!
