Merced Tattoo and Piercing Co.

Walked in service was great. Went in for a double helix piercings. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Pricing was reasonable compared to other places and it includes the earrings. Will return for more piercings and will highly recommend to others for piercings. I can't speak on tattoos because I never received any from there.

We received two piercings yesterday, our peircer was beyond lovely, however the nose piercing is already showing signs of rejection. I know sometimes that's just anatomy, but it's still a bit annoying. The helix is doing pretty okay so far, and still looks and feels alright

Called ahead to see if I could get a septum piercing, drove an hour or so to get the piercing, arrived and the man who I spoke to on the phone was at the front desk and told me the piercer was not there and there would be no piercings that day. Waste of time that could have easily been avoided.

Great shop can't wait to go back!

Poked by Jess is amazing!! I love her!! Everyone is super nice. Amazing art work and I was able to watched them (as I waited) do their work and it is on point!!

They have the best artists around. It's a clean, safe, and welcoming environment. I put off tattoos for so long because other shops didn't have the inviting atmosphere. Don't go anywhere else, this is the one.

I went in today for a nose piercing and once I was let into the shop the guy that did my piercing was pretty rude. I'm not sure if he was in a bad mood or what was going on, but it ruined my experience of getting my first nose piercing. I've heard nothing but great things from friends about this shop so it was disappointing to be treated that way.

I got my first piercing here and my pain tolerance is low but it surprisingly didn’t hurt that much. I got two nose piercings by Showme and I was really nervous but she is really nice and helpful. I will definitely be going back. Great service!

It was fast and simple for the piercing my daughter wanted but it can take some time for booking appt for tattoos

The girl who does the piercings is so sweet!! So gentle as well..

Always a great experience.. the staff that I'm aware of is pretty cool.. only place we come for piercings

The artist, Chris, took his time and did an awesome job with these tattoos. He made sure I was comfortable and also made sure to have a clean, sanitized work area. As far as tattoos go, they can be painful to some extent. It varies on your pain tolerance. The arm tattoo hurt much less than the thigh one but that was also due to nerve placement (biology) 😎

I went in a hour before they closed to try and get a septum piercing and Showme was able to get me in right away! She did such an amazing job and it was nearly painless.. felt a small pinch and that was it.. she was super nice and easy to talk too! Highly recommend her if you get a piercing..Thank you Showme for the experience!

They were really nice and supportive they let you take your time and mostly they are so patient

My artist was Thore. He’s amazing and very respectful. He has a good sense of humor. Also, other artists there are very cool too. I was listening to them while getting tattooed, and they sound like great people.

Love this shop! Went in with 2 teens for a nose and belly button piercing. The conversation prior to the piercing was informative and professional. The shop was clean and the staff was polite and courteous. During each piercing the piercer made sure to explain each step and was humorous as well. Eating in the middle of the shop would be my only issue but I’m also not sure hat rheir space constraints are. We will be back!

Went in for a consultation. My husband and I wanted a small tattoo to commemorate the lost of our daughter. There wasn’t much communication, or very much collaborative effort. It was more like you can do this or nothing. Not sure who helped us because he didn’t introduce himself. The vibes aren’t great there and I wouldn’t recommend it.

Went in to get consult for a small simple tattoo. Greeted by a nice girl. She direct me to an artist there name Thor. Showed him what I wanted and he asked about the size. I told him I wanted the size that I showed him. He rudely said, I don’t do tattoo that small,” and I needed to go bigger. Well it’s 4x5 inches not sure how much bigger but ok… You can’t do simple lines? It’s not much of a design. It’s not going to look right, if it’s any bigger greedy pumpkin. Then he has the nerves to ask me if it’s the price that I’m worried about lol. No buddy it’s your lack of accommodations to your potential customer’s requests.

I’m going to start off by saying i have a super high pain tolerance and this by far was the most painful piercing i have ever gotten. not only was the septum pierced super high up, it’s also crooked. the jewelry is also extremely small and only one ball shows at all time.

Love coming to the place,The guys are all super friendly and they do great work,Been coming here once a month for over a year now,I get tattooed by Oscar,Never disappointed on what he comes up with super clean tattoo work,Highly recommended this place
