Very clean. Reasonably priced. Was able to get pierced right away. Followed all protocol. Good customer service and comfortable atmosphere. Parking was the only thing i can see being a problem. Other than that i would recommend highly for piercings. Can't input on tattoo work, was only there for a body piercing.

Matt did my tongue piercing and it was a great experience! I get a bit faint with some piercings, and he made sure it was painless and even had me lie down so I wouldn't pass out afterward. Would absolutely recommend for any piercings!

Matteo was amazing! With his 18 years of experience I knew I was in the right hands. I'll be seeing him for all my future piercings.

I called ahead to ask what I needed for my daughter (15yrs old) to get her ears pierced. The lady we talked to on the phone said that it was okay and that all we needed was a photo of her birth certificate or passport and parent. I’m from out of town so I ask a friend go into my house and get a picture of her birth certificate which was a big hassle. We had to remotely open our garage door from here to let her in. Then the garage door had a hassle closing. We got the photo.
We went into the shop today and they told me she couldn’t get her ears pierced unless she was 16, even though the lady on the phone said it was okay. We are trying to do the right thing and avoid places like Claire’s. Where babies get their ears pierced. You were recommended to use by my sister in law an niece. Guess word of mouth doesn’t mean much

Really nice people, and very friendly and accommodating. They really seem to know what they're doing and what they're talking about. I had to come in for a quick consultation on an ear piercing that was closing up, they were able to see me after a short wait and recommended I set up an appointment that day (wait of 30 minutes or so). I didn't have time, but would gladly go to them if I needed it. I also stopped by another tattoo/piercing place in Atascadero and they said they don't have a piercer but recommended I come to this place because they know what they're doing. Even their competitors in the next town over recommend them!

This place is amazing. I never leave reviews but I just feel so inclined to with Traditional because they have helped me with my cartilage piercing so much. I had it pierced for about 2 years and went in to get a hoop, they helped me replace the jewelry and after a while my ear rejected the hoop. I went back in and they helped me put the stud back in and clean it up for no charge. (This happened 2-3 times). I seriously love this place and their service I will not go anywhere else!!!

I always have a great experience at Traditional. Matt is a superb piercer and very professional. I have needle phobia and he was quick and gentle with my nose piercing. He was always available to answer my questions during the first weeks of healing, and has given me the VIP treatment every time. Niko did my three tattoos, and he was also kind and gentle with this squeamish lady! My tattoos turned out great! Everyone in the shop is very professional, and the shop is clean. I highly recommend!

Super nice shop. Went there to buy plugs which I've had some trouble finding in this area, they had a nice selection including the glass plugs that I've really enjoyed stretching up with. My mum got her eyebrow pierced as well and the piercer, Matt, was awesome. Knowledgeable, experienced. Definitely the place to go for piercings. Haven't had a tattoo here but after seeing some of the art and checking the atmosphere, I want to.

I used to love this place and still recommend it to many people . The only thing that has changed is a few of the artist talk negatively about a lot of their clients especially ones who get small tattoos and or walk in . I overheard an artist talk badly about someone who just left the store happy from getting her work done and even complimented the artist work. Some folks can’t afford large intricate designs and isn’t an excuse to talk badly about a good client. ):

Just got my lip pierced by Matteo. I have nothing but good things to say about this dude! He was super dope and made sure I was comfortable with where to pierce. Would definitely go back to get pierced again. Front desk was nice as well! Thank you guys again!
