This is my second time coming here. All of my friends have gotten tattoos here. I had a rib tattoo done last year, and recently went in for a piercing. Such helpful people here! Matteo was great, he talked me through the piercing and made sure I was comfortable. A great experience for my first body piercing. the piercing itself is healing smoothly 10/10. Definitely recommend

I got my nipples pierced here when I turned 18 (I am currently 21). Two other friends and I got ours done back to back. Staff was nice. Unfortunately I left with extremely crooked piercings that I have had to look at every day since. My friends both looked fine though, so I don’t know if mine were just a rushed job since I went third. They used proper infection control techniques and everything and it healed without complications…I have seen amazing work come from this place, just my experience was kind of a bummer.

I booked a 3pm appointment 2 weeks in advance. Got a text the day of saying they need to bump it to 4pm because the earlier appointment was taking longer than expected. No problem. Got there at 3:45 to do paperwork. Sat on the couch until 4:55. Told them no hard feelings but I want a refund. Not professional at all. Just my experience.

I arrived 5 minutes early for my appointment and ended up having to wait 20-25 minutes past my appointment time to be seen. The piercer, Matt, did an amazing job and was super cool. The cashier however seemed to scoff at my tip amount which I found pretty unprofessional and off putting. They should handle the scheduling better as well.

Horrible experience from one tattoo artist particularly. this person ruined my tattoo that he was supposed to enhance ,Wouldn’t recommend at all. There are much better Tattoo Artist and shops in the San Luis Obispo county would not waste my money or time.

I went here right after turning 18 to get my first tattoo and a nose piercing. They let my boyfriend accompany me through both experiences which was amazing. Niko was brilliant and steady the whole way through on my extremely circular tattoo which has no flaws. Matt was quick, encouraging and thoughtful when doing my piercing. Overall there was not a moment where I felt unsafe or unsure. Thank you so much.
