This place is awesome! I love my septum piercing and jewelry! I love love, love, the ambience! I feel right at home! The folks there are so welcoming and awesome, and fashionable and gorgeous! The whole experience is very pleasurable! I can't wait for a reason to go back!

UV ink in my cat's eyes and hat!

I got my first tattoo by Amanda to honor my friend who passed and my beloved cat. I cried when I saw their rendition of what I wanted. They also helped me figure out the best placement and orientation and was not afraid to answer my many questions. The whole process was almost meditative and Amanda was so thorough and helpful with it all, and even went along with my last minute request to change a color. I am so in love with my tattoo with hints of UV ink in it, I can't stop admiring it and have been recommending Amanda and 13 Bats to everyone. Thank you so much for the awesome experience and the beautiful forever memento on my arm. Who knows, maybe my next one will be TROGDOR!!!! :)

New flat piercing!

Just absolutely adore Sasha and this place! Been here so many times can't even keep track. Always clean, welcoming and professional! Just got a flat piercing and my nose done. Today is the second day, no pain and healing nicely. Will be back soon for my tragus or conch! Also just wanted to say I have an allergy to almost every metal including gold, even high grade 22k. This is the first time in my life that I've had earrings in for over 2 years from here and no problems or infections. She uses implant grade titanium I believe.

When it comes to tattooing, Amanda is wonderful to work with from start to finish. Appointment signup, a process that can sometimes be convoluted, was very simple with Amanda. I heard back about a day later with inspiration photos and an appointment about three weeks out. (I was given the option to see them within a matter of days, but wasn't able to make it.) Then I arrived at 13 Bats, and Amanda's drawing of my three little gummi bears were even cuter than the inspiration photos. The tattooing itself was relaxing and chill; the chair was comfortable and there was 90s underground hip hop playing. After about two to three hours, my bears were tatted on me and I loved the results. It honestly could've been outside that range -- I was enjoying myself and not paying attention to time -- but the point is, it felt quick! During aftercare, Amanda was really gracious about responding to my DMs with answers to my questions. That made healing a breeze -- which is great for me, because I'm always more nervous about that phase than the needles! It is officially two weeks since I got tatted, and I can now wear short-sleeved shirts outside again. I will definitely be reaching out to Amanda for future tattoo projects!

Had a great experience here. The shop itself is beautiful, super clean, and thoughtfully decorated…read more The staff were all very kind and welcoming. I came in to have a piercing removed that I had done at another shop, and it was incredibly quick and painless. The piercer was helpful and took the time to talk through my ideas for future piercings I'm considering. Also loved the little details like the sticker dispenser with flash designs from the artists! I'll definitely be back soon.

I came here for a tattoo a few months ago and came in again today to buy a piece of jewelry. There…read morewere maybe 5 people total in there. We stood and waited for over ten minutes with no one acknowledging us and then when it seemed that the front desk lady was going around us to someone who seemed to have just arrived (I guess they had an appointment but how were we supposed to know that) I just asked if I could quickly make a purchase (bc again no one has even acknowledged us and they were full on talking to everyone else) and the front desk lady was sooo rude and sassy for literally no reason. She could've said "oh yeah these people have an appointment I'll be with you in a min" but instead she was extremely rude to us. This place pretends to be friendly and a "safe space" but is just performative and only acknowledges people they know from the neighborhood. Also if they comment on this review saying anything otherwise that would be hilarious bc it was just so crazy how rude she was to us. This was my first time doing something for myself in a long time and I was so excited and drove from far away to be able to visit this shop again and this lady was unnecessarily rude when we were just trying to understand what was happening bc they IGNORED US Also creepy front desk man wouldn't talk to us either and would only talk to the people who came in after us as well lol. Really weird and unfriendly vibes go somewhere else and save your money.

I've been to this store a few times now and they have a great selection of jewelry…read more Over the weekend I came in to purchase a bracelet I was eyeing online and to get a permanent bracelet. They don't have any prices for their permanent bracelets so I had no idea what to expect but I knew I wanted 14k gold, and I was most interested in a Cuban chain. This could have been a case of miscommunication coupled with the fact I don't like confrontation, but when I asked about the price I swore I was told ~$250. That seemed reasonable to me, I've been looking into Cuban chains and that was the price point I was seeing for about that size in 14k. When it came to checkout the price was $2,450 for just the permanent bracelet.....I was in a rush and again, don't love confrontation, so I paid and left but I feel like I seriously over paid for this tiny light weight chain. I was planning on getting more bracelets and jewelry plus some new piercings but after this I don't know if I trust their prices. I think I may use them to find cool jewelers, but purchase elsewhere. It's my fault I didn't double check the price, I take ownership in that. I would just caution against the permanent jewelry, at least learn from my mistake and get the price in writing not just verbally. Update: wow that was a super fast response! They reached out to me after seeing my review. Thank you so much Nadia for your call. I can tell you all really care about your customers. Looking forward to coming back this weekend. Additional side notes, I really appreciate the care they put into fitting the jewelry for customers. I've also have had things shipped to me and their packaging is lovely with nice presentation. Even their shipping box feels lux. Those little details and the quick response to my post has brought me back around and I will absolutely be a repeat customer. Can't wait to get more unique jewelry and piercings with friends! :)

I got my first ear piercings at age 8 with a gun at the mall. I am decades from that day now. My…read morefirst lobe piercings have stretched with wear and time to the point that almost any earring looks like it will rip out of my earlobe. I arranged a consult with Ben, who asked detailed questions, assessed my current stack and suggested I had enough lobe health to do a piercing stacked on top of my first piercing. This will allow me to wear studs together or to wear a statement earring in the new hole without the issue of more stretching. He recommended jewelry options based on my style, then brought me back to do the piercing same-day (it was a Monday morning, so the store wasn't busy). He was meticulous in the setup and talked me through every step of the process. Easy and done. It's been two weeks and my new piercings are healing beautifully and I am already loving the placement and the options it affords me. When worn with earrings in my original first piercings, the two stacked together actually detract from the stretching. Ben is a total pro. If and when I get more piercings I absolutely will ask for him.

My coworkers have gotten pierced here so that alone tempted me to give Cold Steel a try…read more My first piercing experience was with Cassidy and Eric (Squeezy!). Saying that they were kind, patient and welcoming is honestly an understatement. Cassidy was super helpful when helping me decide what jewelry to choose and the quality of their jewelry really stood out to me. Eric is such a cool piercer. Getting a piercing can always be nerve wracking even if you have a high pain tolerance, but he was so welcoming from the jump! I had so much fun getting my double lobes and conch pierced with him and have ultimately decided to come back here for my triple lobes and any other future piercings. Hands down recommend this place to anyone thinking of getting a piercing! They're super fun and chill.

Definitely recommend this place, only if you're not in a hurry. We had an appointment and still…read morewaited an hour. If you're in a time crunch and don't want to wait, I'd say call and find out their slow times, and come then. Probably not on a sunny, bustling weekend. Lots of walk in traffic. The piercers and staff are very knowledge and not snobby (compared to a top piercing company in SF). They have incredibly high quality jewelry (+ the price tag), but this is where you want to come. We got 3 piercings, including an industrial (which I count as one) and it cost about $400.
