    update: I've gotten five piercings at Zebra Body Piercing over the past two years, and until my most recent experience, I had always loved my visits. The staff have consistently been patient, kind, and professional, which is why it's disappointing to have to lower my rating. I recently experienced significant swelling in my helix piercings. One piercing, which had been healed for about two years, began to look like it was being swallowed by my ear due to the swelling, and the pain became increasingly severe. Since Zebra was closed until Friday, I went to another piercing shop near my office for help. They determined that both pieces of jewelry needed to be replaced with longer bars to accommodate the swelling and my anatomy. What disappointed me most was that I was never warned about the possibility of swelling becoming severe enough to require longer jewelry, nor was I given guidance on what signs to watch for or what to do if this happened. I understand that swelling can be a normal part of healing, but I expected more thorough aftercare education and jewelry selection to help prevent this situation. I still believe the staff are kind and genuinely care about their clients, and my previous experiences have all been positive. However, this experience left me feeling unprepared and resulted in me needing to seek care elsewhere. I hope this feedback helps improve the aftercare information and guidance provided to future clients. original review: I've gotten five piercings at Zebra Body Piercing over the past two years, and I've loved every experience! The staff are always so patient, kind, and professional, which makes the whole process feel comfortable and stress-free. They take the time to answer any questions and make sure you feel at ease. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my piercings and highly recommend Zebra Body Piercing to anyone looking for a great experience! Shout out to David!!

    I got this tattoo in October 2018. I tried to just stop by but realized I had to make an appointment to actually get a tattoo. It took about 30 minutes for the tattoo. The tattoo artist suggested I get black ink. But I'm vegan now and wonder if the tattoo is vegan.

    Tiara did an amazing job with my first ever piercing. I'm a pretty anxious person and have had issues with needles at the doctor's office in the past, but she made me completely comfortable the whole way through. She talked with me about my motivation for the piercing, explained exactly what she was doing at each step, and kept me relaxed start to finish. No issues at all, which I honestly wasn't expecting. The wait was shorter than they initially quoted, and everyone was patient and helpful while I took my time picking out jewelry. Couldn't have asked for a better first experience. Highly recommend Zebra, and ask for Tiara if you're nervous.

    I decided spontaneously to get a helix piercing today! I did my Yelp research and saw that Zebra Piercing had a lot of great reviews. So I drove over to Zebra Piercing and the ladies in the front asked what I would like. I chose out the stud I wanted, signed a few paperwork, and showed ID. The lady (I wished I got her name) explained the healing process which was super helpful. I walked over to the register and paid. I waited about 10-15 mins before it was my turn to get pierced. My piercer, Amar, was very nice and explained what I should expecting in regard to pain. She mapped out a few suggestions on where to place the piercing. Not going to lie, it did hurt a bit. Lol Overall I had a great experience at this location. I'll definitely be back when I want more piercings.

    Took my eleven year old here today to get his ears pierced. Everyone was super respectful and kind, he got great jewelry, and Amar was sweet and did an expert job piercing his ears. Thank you, Zebra!

    Zebras was an amazing experience. We came on a Saturday afternoon and the way it wasn't too long. My daughter got her nose pierced, and her bellybutton pierced. What I love most was that the piercer came out and educated as before we even got started to let us know the news and Donts, and also how to take care of it and how they switch it out. You can tell they actually care here.

    Quick and easy process! The staff were really friendly and they gave me such great advice to take care of my piercing. I recommend everyone to come to Zebra Tattoo & Piercing

    3rd Daughter to get her ears pierced in the last 18 years !!! They are sooooo patient with the kiddos my daughter was being so difficult and totally gave the piercer a horrible time. But Tiara Lewis was so patient and calm with the screaming and kicking 5 year old. My husband and I are grateful!!!

Go shop here and support this amazing local woman-owned business - you will NOT be disappointed! My fiancée and I came here last year looking for an engagement ring together - I knew I wanted something unique, but wasn't sure where to start. Rada's collection is amazing and full of so many treasures. She worked with us and one of her artists to customize a ring based on a stone we loved, and she made me a custom matching wedding band at the same time. It turned out better than I could have possibly imagined, and was surprisingly affordable - she will work with your budget and give you a variety of options. I get so many compliments all the time on my ring, and it's by far my favorite possession! Flash forward a year - it's a week before our wedding, and I remembered at the very last minute that I should probably clean my ring before the wedding photos. I sent Rada a frantic note to see if there was any way she could help me with that, acknowledging the very short time frame. In just two days, she had my ring cleaned, the band was repolished, and returned to me looking better than ever. And she did this all for no charge!! I'm blown away by the customer service and so grateful to Rada for going out of her way to help me. Will definitely be returning to scoop up some more pieces in the future. In short: this place is amazing, go check it out and support Rada's growing business!!

One year & two years later our bracelets have held up so well, no breaks. Sienna, who does their permanent jewelry, is lovely and super attentive to detail. When we went in for our newest bracelets, they kindly cleaned our other ones, as the stones had gotten a little grubby in the past year. They have a wide ranging selection of chain styles and tons of beautiful charms to add on. We were also able to request a particular stone/setting in advance. All of the sales staff are friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable! We have shopped at their original Oakland location during busy hours when they have gracefully been juggling multiple customers and still made the point to check in with us. Their Berkeley space is super open with lots of room for browsing.
