Got my nose pierced here for the first time and fully recommend it! A professional tattoo artist recommended the place to me, so I came once to check it out and the day of my appointment. Lovely store, friendly, helpful, safety conscious staff, and they have a wide range of gorgeous jewelry!! Including earrings and weights from crystal materials if you're into that. The person who checked me in was really patient with all my newbie questions, requests to see jewelry, and pricing questions π I totally plan to go back!

I had my ear lobes pierced here and it was my first piercing. I was nervous, but Nash talked me through it and made me feel so at ease. Everyone was clearly very experienced and highly professional. I was given lots of helpful information and explanation along every step. A+++ for customer service! Thank you so much to everyone that helped me!
I paid $40 for the piercings, and $70 for a pair of threadless starter earrings (these were the cheapest options). I believe you're required to get the earrings from them, but I think that wasn't super clear from the website and appointment system. If I hadn't heard about this from a friend, I might have been a bit taken aback. $70 isn't cheap for earrings, though I do think they're high quality, which is important during the healing process. I would also love to see a little more variety of minimalistic earrings at the lower price range.
Overall I'm a happy customer! I would recommend Industrial Tattoo to anyone looking to get pierced and want it done correctly and well. Just remember that quality service and goods don't come cheap, but it's worth it! :)

This is my go to piercing shop!! I have gotten nose and ear piercings here. First of all, the folks here are knowledgeable, cool, and respectful. They have jewelry experts that helped me pick out what jewelry was right for me beforehand. They have an amazing selection of really high quality jewelry. Then my piercer was awesome and professional and my piercings from here have all healed really well. Will def be back soon!! Wouldnβt go anywhere else in the Bay.
Also: update as of October 25th ish- they are going mostly on booked appointments that you can make online BUT they just started accepting walk ins! You may have a longer wait, but they do get you in.

I had my tongue ring removed successfully and painlessly after 21 years. I was so happy about that I decided to do some earring shopping and bought an awesome pair of earrings at an awesome price. This place is definitely my new spot for adult body adornment.

Overall, a great piercing experience. The price point was a bit on the high side, but for the professionality, it's worth it. The one thing that was inconvenient was the wait time. I wasn't pierced until 40 minutes after my appointment time. I only had a single cartilage piercing, so it's just something to keep in mind.

This was my first piercing in a dedicated parlor since mall pagodas as a teen; booked for simple third earlobe studs. Marley consulted with me on size and style. They were very patient and honest about options for me and my anatomy; there were no stupid questions. The extra effort made towards sanitation (no touching jewelry, no removing personal jewelry, hand sanitizer, masks, gloves, etc.) during the consultation was also appreciated. In addition to the studs, I was sold on a small lovely "semi-perm" hoop insert for an existing lobe piercing.
My piercer was Jesse (I believe a guest artist) and exactly who I'd want for a first time parlor experience: direct, kind, and conversational, which eased any anxiety. Without already knowing anything, I was able to trust Jesse quickly.
The shop is a bespoke and cozy open floor with beautiful wood furniture and clean glass cases for browsing. On a Sunday, the shop had a steady grounded atmosphere and employees were upbeat. Wonderful way to spend a rainy afternoon. Thank you Industrial!

Had a great experience here! The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. I didnβt have to wait too long - and itβs a beautiful waiting area, anyway! Marina was wonderful, and guided me through every step of the process. I love my piercing and I would definitely recommend Industrial/Iβm sure Iβll also be back. Thank you!

Honestly, every time we come here, we are treated like real people and given top-quality piercing and consulting services! We have come back time and time again because these folks are JUST THAT GOOD at what they do. I've been pierced by nearly everyone at this shop, and they are all great at what they do! Can't wait to go back for my next fix!

I had a really nice experience getting pierced at Industrial. Anwyn did my piercings and she was super professional, patient, kind and clearly explained everything before she did it. I felt very comfortable working with her. Everyone who helped me in the shop was relaxed, patient, and really pleasant to interact with. From the moment I walked in, I felt taken care of. I highly recommend both Anwyn as a piercer and Industrial for piercings/jewelry. All of their stuff is medical grade titanium/gold, plus nickel free.
Oh, and definitely use the photo booth when you are done! Super fun and cute, high quality pics! Bring a mask too, or they can give you one if you ask (might cost a dollar) <3

Went with my bestie to get a bridge and conch piercing. She got two upper lobe piercings. Everybody in the shop was so lovely and accommodating. And whoever did the music had great taste.
Our piercer was Nash who was so fun and an absolute sweety. They were so caring, precise, and obviously very skilled and knowledgeable. They helped my friend with a piercing she got five years ago, and gave such good care instructions. I'm already thinking about my next piercings and I'm hoping they'll be my piercer again!
