I WAS STABBED! IN THE EAR. AT ZEBRA!!! and it was nothing short of enchanting. Danial and Amar were like trusted guides on a sparkly journey toward a better me, helping to discover the perfect jewel. They carried me through the piercing process with warmth and ease and left me as bright as day. I look forward to getting STABBED again! ^_^ read more

Great customer service and quality product. My son was very comfortable. Just the experience we were looking for.

Becka was great! Very gentle and was great and calming any nerves! Highly recommend! :D

Great experience. The lady was very helpful in helping me decide which ring to get and was patient with me.

I had my ear pierced by Amar. They were so patient and paid close attention to details. The experience was almost painless. I had conch, faux rook (because I didn't have the anatomy for it), and 2nd lobe. I picked premium 14k gold. It's worth the price. They also have lower price jewelry as well if you have limited budget. I'll definitely come back to Amar for downsizing. read more

This place is always so professional and legit. I've taken both of my daughters here when they were younger, and just took my teen here for her second piercing. They are kind, knowledgeable, personable, and just do it right! Our first time here they were very gentle with my eight-year-old and they offered a numbing treatment to help ease the fear. Highly recommend. read more

Needed my lobes repierced, and the folks at Zebra were quick and professional! Would definitely recommend them to anyone. read more

Great job! Becka did my nose and she was so gentle and reassuring! I love the jewelry they have gold and titanium love is great for new holes! definitely will be coming back! read more

Great with neurodivergent kids!!! My daughter is on the spectrum and has anxiety. She REALLY wanted her ears pierced so we took her to Zebra. They were great with her (the numbing cream is well worth it). While she was nervous, they were patient with her for the whole process. She's a kid who is very sensitive to pain and she was okay with it all. In fact, when her ears closed up a few years later (which happens when you stop wearing earrings ), she was 100% ok with coming back...hence my review now. read more

Was referred by my gfs and sister in law. Came for an infant ear piercing on a Friday morning. Staff extremely informative, patient , kind and gentle with our baby. Plenty of space in the shop for my toddler, hubby and myself to be a part of the process. Great jewelry selection and allll the staff was awesome. Walked us through the whole process, step by step. Our daughter did so well. Clear instructions on aftercare. Shoutout to David. My best friend and I will be back for piercings for ourselves. Thanks again! read more

If you need a piercing, new jewelry, jewelry change, etc come to Zebra. Everyone here is friendly, patient, helpful, and capable! A little tough to find parking early but worth it. Come here for all your piercing needs! read more

Always such a good place to get piercings! Piercers are so kind and informative and always heal well.

We took my friends 9 year old daughter to get her ears pierced. It was such a wonderful experience. Anaica was so helpful and made sure we knew what to expect. Tim who did the piercing was really sweet and again was very calming and communicative and made sure our first timer stayed more excited than nervous. We are all thrilled with the outcome! read more

Everything was simple and great! Went for a piercing. Able to walk right in. Friendly service and good selection.

From the very first time that I came to ZEBRA in June 2025, I was greeted by amazing staff. Super knowledgeable, patient, caring, and professional. Everyone from Daniel to Jenny to every single employee truly cared from the heart and went out of their way to be sure that I was not only comfortable, but that I could ask all the questions I wanted to ask. I decided to pierce both my ears in celebration of my retirement, and it was something that I wanted to do since I was 24 but then I just shoved it for all of these years. They truly are very special people and a wonderful business and I recommend it to everybody no matter what their age or stage in life! Zebra is the BEST! read more

Great experience--we got our 4 and 6 year old's ears pierced and everyone was so welcoming/friendly and made the experience seamless. Clean/professional. Highly recommend! read more

My daughter recently got her belly pierced here. She was a little apprehensive as there is a "bouncer" outside, but no worries it's so that it doesn't get too crowded inside. We went on a Sunday morning/ afternoon and it was a breeze. The person at the counter was very thorough in filling out the paperwork, making suggestions on which jewelry to choose, and the care of her soon to be piercing. We then went to the register, paid, and had a short wait for the room. Her number was called shortly after. He asked her to stand so that he could mark the piercing and for her to check it before she laid down. She laid down on the paper lined bed, he asked her to relax. When it was time to pierce her he told her to breath in deep and exhale. She said it was a slight pinch and that was it. No discomfort, no pain. In total we spent about roughly about $100- piercing, jewelry, cleaning solution, and tip. read more

I got a cartilage piercing and was nervous before but they made it so fast and easy, I almost felt nothing! I got to work with Becka and she did an amazing job! Would recommend :) read more

Very very pleasantly surprised with our first Zebra piercing experience! We couldn't be happier. Kiddo was getting their ears pierced for the first time and we were all excited but admittedly a bit nervous. Tim was excellent. Not a tear was shed. The process was seamless end-to-end and everyone was so incredibly friendly. This will be our go to spot. One note: make sure you have a photo id for your kiddos! read more

2nd time we have been here to pierce my daughter's ears. Always a great experience. Staff are polite, patient and knowledgeable. Piercers are friendly, efficient, and experienced. Always a wait, but worth it. Well-known and the go to place for piercings. read more
