My 5 year old wanted her ears pierced and we came here without an appt on a Saturday. They were able to get us in right when they opened and were nothing but nice. Highly recommend. read more

Honestly im pretty embarrassed i've been here multiple times, While Matte may be professional and know what he's doing, he is very condescending and passive aggressive with his way of speaking to people . He talks to you as if he were a superior and you a child because of his piercing knowledge ( bare minimum for a piercer), and not to mention the other old lady there who thinks she's entitled to your attention. Learned my lesson and will not go back, may they get the business they deserve. They are also micro aggressive towards people of color FYI! read more

the employees here are extremely weird and off putting. they were not welcoming or friendly at all. the piercer went on a rant about china unprovoked and it was odd so i left and the woman made sly comments on my way out. i was really confused and it felt like i was being pranked. the place is also very gross and unorganized it looks like a house you would see on hoarders. i would question how sanitary it is and would not feel comfortable getting a tattoo or piercing here read more

My girlfriend recommended Matt, Matt was a 10/10 he helped me with my piercing and now it's completely healed! He's also very down to earth as well. read more

I am seriously so upset with my experience at this place. My friend previously went here to get an eyebrow piercing and had a great experience with "Matt". However, I showed up to get a piercing and was met with unprofessionalism. Matt had talked to me like I was a child. Completely dehumanizing me and making me feel uncomfortable. Though their prices are low, I'd rather spend 100 more dollars at a different place for the same piercing where i'd get treated like a PERSON and not a child. The "baby talk" does not work with me. read more

Piercer Matt has poor customer service. I wanted to get my 16 yr old a piercing for 1 ear. After providing our ID's Matt gave us unsolicited advice on how I should've gave my son my last name. Which insulted me and is extremely unprofessional and rude. He continued on trying to explain how it's common to do. I explained to him that's it's my family's tradition but he kept on. Leaving a sour taste in my opinion. After the service, my son wanted the matching earring for his other ear. Matt informed us that he had to order it, and once it arrives he would give us the earring free of charge, due to the interaction regarding me and my son's last name. But when the earring arrived he said he never told us the earring was free. Very poor communication skills. read more

I made a spontaneous appointment with Matte to have my septum piercing done. I explained to him over the phone that I was extremely excited but also nervous because I had always wanted this piercing but never worked up the nerve to get it. He assured me that the process is quick and easy and that he would explain easy step as we went along. He also explained pricing and that he was a wound care specialist and would take every precaution necessary to ensure that the experience was smooth. The day of my appointment, I had a sudden emergency and Matte was patient enough to push my appointment back without charge. When arrived, I first spoke to the owner. Other reviews mentioned that she was not very kind, but this was not my experience at all. She was very sweet, congratulated me for finally deciding to get the piercing and she welcomed me back anytime. After a few minutes I was brought to Matte. He turned on his carousel display case and allowed me to browse the septum piercings. I decided on surgical steel to start and after paying for the piercing, we went off to his studio in the back. I will admit that I was super nervous, but as I watched him gently and carefully sterilize each piece and constantly change his gloves as he went along, my confidence was restored and I knew I had made the right decision. The piercing wasn't entirely painful, it felt like being kicked in the nose, but it was a temporary pain. Once it was completed, I had the horseshoe flipped up, was instructed on aftercare and gives a pamphlet with further instructions and I was done! I am 100% satisfied with my experience and I will definitely be back for a fancier ring once my piercing is fully healed! Thank you Matte! read more

BEST jewelry change experience!!! Had an external threaded daith that was too small, Matte gave me the correct size with the best quality jewelry. Great experience, great service, loved it!! read more

I got my tongue pierced and it was a great experience. Super clean inside. Amazing customer service.

I've been using Alpha Omega (located W. Texas Rd.) for decades. Matte has always been my Piercing Specialist. Lynn is awesome too. Lynn has always been a tattoo artist at Alpha Omega that I'm aware of. They both keep their store immaculate, well organized & use sterile needles & I HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone to go to Alpha Omega Tattoos & Piercings. If you're into tattoos, then definitely go to . if you are into piercings, which I am, I highly recommend asking for Matte. Both are well seasoned professionals who LOVE WHAT THEY DO. Atmosphere is, quaint, upbeat & "chill". I highly recommend Alpha Omega, located on West Texas Rd., to anyone who is planning on getting a tattoo(s)or piercing(s). Love you two Five stars for a seasoned tattoo artist /or a piercing specialist read more

Old lady yelled at my friend getting pierced for saying "goddamn". Calmly and in passing duri

I had an amazing experience. My piercer (Matte) was extremely kind and put me at ease. I originally came to pierce both ears and I'm glad he recommended that I did not due to comfort, especially while sleeping. He walked me through the process and I greatly appreciated it. Thank you so much you are so kind. read more

Alpha-Omega tattoos and piercing - 3 new piercings, the others are old. - Tattoo Near Me - Fairfield, California

I came here to have my earrings changed, and it was super painless and fast :) I chose this shop because the piercer here is an APP piercer, and they accept outside jewelry which is nice. It's clean inside and they're able to sterilize your jewelry before you put it on too. The piercer isn't super personable, but he's kind enough and knowledgeable. They have a decent variety of quality jewelry too The only thing I would say is that it's Christian piercing/tattoo shop (which makes sense with the name), so there's certain imagery that they will not work with if you're interested in getting tattoos here. I'm not sure if the rule is the same with any decorative earrings too, but just something to keep in mind, especially if you're someone who prefers gothic themes read more

The piercer was very informative, and did a perfect job. He was so kind, patient, and overall great at what he was doing!

Matte to the rescue! My septum jewelry decided to quit on me and thankfully he was available to save the day! My septum is my most favorite piercing. I'm glad there's an APP piercer in the area because these are the only professionals I go to and each have been extremely great experiences. He has a wide selection of jewelry so circular barbell, check! Despite not having the jewelry I wanted in the size I needed, he spent some time showing me other styles, ordering options and explaining the payment process. I didn't feel pressured into a sale and he answered all of my follow up questions. I felt so comfortable the entire time and cannot wait to schedule my next piercing appointment! Huge shout out to At Last Piercing in OC for recommending Matte! read more

Wish I could rate this place 10 stars! Matt creates a fun/relaxing vibe that lets you know, that you're in good hands. The hospitality, the amazing attitudes of the staff, all top notch! My daughter had a great time with her piercing and told me it was the most painless piercing she ever had. Highly recommend this place!! read more

I came here yesterday because I had an irritation bump on my nose piercing that I had gotten somewhere else and I wanted it to be seen by a professional piercer to see how I can fix it. Matte checked it out when I came in and said the metal of my piercing was causing the irritation, but I had to schedule an appointment first for him to be able to change it out. I was able to schedule an appointment the same day, just about 2 hours later. He's amazing and understanding! He tells you about the quality of the piercings and aftercare. My irritation bump was pretty big, but it's already getting a lot smaller- just a day after! Matte is a credible and very professional piercer and I will be going back for future piercings. I recommend booking an appointment first online because he can be booked! read more

The man who pierced my nose gave me the wrong piercing then when I had said something he gaslighted me about it and had a very awkward demeanor and was on some control trip the whole time we were there though he did keep everything very clean I would not go back or recommend this place to anyone I like. read more

I went to get my rose gold nose pierced for the second time, as well as a new piercing on my ear. Genuine people, great service, knowledgeable and professional! I will be returning for the $600 rose gold/diamond septum hoop. It was love at first sight! Glad to have a local shop nearby that showed me amazing customer service! Highly recommended! read more

5 stars for Matte the piercer. No experience with tattoos so I can't comment on that. I got a double forward helix and tragus today. Matte did a great job with placement and got the piercings done quickly with minimal pain. My friend who came with, got her rook pierced and got a little lightheaded after, Matte was super calm and got her fan and had her take some deep breaths to feel better. They have a huge selection of jewelry to choose from as well. read more

We wanted matching friend tattoos... Small, simple & quick. $65 minimum EACH and she did a crap job. I wanted a sparkly star... Which is what she drew, but then she got sloppy & i hate how it came out. And my friend's looks different than mine i am reminded of it every time i look at my wrist. I don't even want to go back to have her fix it because I don't want her to jack it up any worse!! read more

Matte is the best piercer around, very knowledgeable very clean and sanitary. I highly recommend going here for any piercings. My daughter and I both got piercings by Matte and I will definitely be going to him again. read more

Do not go here, the instant you walk in the environment isn't welcoming and for a customer service based industry, that is sad, sad, sad. If I could give 0 stars I would. Tattoo shops are already sort of intimidating and the fact that their tone was condescending was so rude. For first impressions, this ain't it. For tattoo work that look like THIS? I would not be talking like that if I were her. Deepest apologies for who's poor body that is, hopefully you got a nice cover up! read more

Matt was professional and personable. He talked lots about aftercare and made sure my nose piercing healed properly. I bought the recommended cleanser and saline for daily care needs. I have not had any outside issues and it is healing. I should have asked more questions about soreness and inside nostril swelling and bruising. It definitely was an afterthought. If you are considering a piercing, book an appointment with Matt. There will be zero regrets. read more

I walked in today and I was hit with the Jesus is my Lord and Savior Bullshit because she didn't agree with what I wanted tattooed on my neck anyways I'm sure she doesn't read her Bible because doesn't your Bible say not to ink your body... This lady is a joke Like who runs a Christian tattoo shop lmao I would say if you're looking for open minded tattoo artist Take your business elsewhere and the lady has a bad attitude... If I could I'd give this place zero stars read more

Great place! My friend and I came here for small tattoos about a month ago. Lin is awesome and extremely easy to talk to... she made the whole experience a pleasant one! Matte is great too; he really knows his piercing stuff! I'm very happy with my tattoo... it wasn't an easy spot to do and has very thin writing, but Lin nailed it :) read more

I must say, this was the most friendly experience I've had at any tattoo/piercing shop. Matt was so kind and engaging when stretching my ears to 1/2 inch. We really clicked! During the process I barely felt a thing! 10/10 would highly recommend! Wonderful service. I will be going back for future piercings, maybe even a tattoo next time! Cheers! (: read more

Matt was so great! I let him know I was nervous about it and had a low pain tolerance and he talked to me the whole time which took my mind off being so nervous. He was a real great guy. He was very clean with everything, wipes everything down and changed gloves several times. He didn't make me feel rushed at all and was just a great guy to get my first piercing. 100% recommend him! :) read more

I have been going to see Jonboy at Alpha omega since last fall for my tattoos. I love sitting for him, he is super friendly, makes you feel comfortable, has a gentle touch, and his tattoos are Top Notch! I am going in tomorrow to finish up my hands, have one more session to finish my cover up, and already have some ideas for other tattoos I want him to do for me. I'm so happy that an amazing artist and great person like Jonboy, was as excited as I was to tattoo some of my most personal and most meaningful tattoos. I highly recommend him to anyone and will continue to have him work on me. I my wife and daughters have gone to Matte for all our piercings, and we will never get pierced by anyone else as long as he is still piercing. Matte is the best piercer around, highly knowledgeable, makes you feel comfortable. read more

YUP. still one star. This time I went here out of desperation. I got a dermal done under my eye (not here) and got a new job. My new job required the jewelry piece to be taken out...immediately. I came to the shop and let them know my situation and he said he could loosen it no problem. (I don't remember the guy's name) He seemed to struggle a bit and it hurt me SOOOOO much when he loosen it off. I wanted to cry. I felt like he was doing something wrong but I figured maybe I was just a wuss. (I totally passed out when I got my dermal done) The next day I got a pimple next to my dermal. I thought it was super odd but I didn't think anything of it. The pimple didn't go away for a week, no matter how many times I popped it. FINALLY after two weeks of just leaving it alone it went away and I saw the foot of my dermal ripped out of my skin!!! It wasn't a pimple, it was infected!!!! I went back to the shop to complain and the piercer had the audacity to tell me that he didn't remember me and that I must have snagged it on my shirt or something because there was NO way he would do that just from loosening it. Are you kidding me?! I had to go get it taken completely out by another piercer at a REPUTABLE shop. This place frickin sucks!! STAY AWAY!! read more

I came in to get a second ear piercing about 9 years ago, Matt was great. My first was at bedazzled at the mall many moons ago when I was 16. He educated me on how a needle piercing is more sanitary and heals faster than a gun piercing ect. This information of course I now know and will take my children to a piercing shop if they ever decide they are ready for anything when older. I plan on returning to Matt soon to re peirce my first piercing as they have closed and to purchase new jewelry. read more

Absolutely loved my experience , I had gotten my nose pierced at another shop & I had issues with it, placement was wrong, irritation bumps, improper jewelry & I came to get it re-pierced with Matt & it was amazing he made me feel so comfortable really gave me so much knowledge on the piercing. My piercing started to heal wonderfully I love my piercing, & I definitely recommend. read more

Matt and Lin were so nice to me and my six year old girl. My kid had been waiting for her piercings for a while due to Covid and she was so excited picking out her new earrings. Matt was so patient and kind with her and answered all her questions. He was very sanitary, cleaned everything before hand and changed gloves multiple times. You could tell he is an old pro at this. He must get a lot of kid appointments too! We had a few laughs with Lin and she even gave my daughter a hand wipe because she noticed her hands were sticky. It was a great experience and would definitely recommend for kid earring piercings. read more

I got a daith piercing done by Matte a few weeks ago! He was so friendly and made the experience a lot less stressful than I thought it would be. I am naturally anxious, yet I felt very at ease. The piercing itself was super fast and has healed nicely! I'm so glad that I went here. I definitely recommend getting your daith piercing here! read more

I got my tongue pierced by Matte a few years ago and have had zero problems with it but I was weary about getting a tattoo done there due to a lot of reviews. So when I was googling for a tattoo artist near here, I was impressed to see the portfolio of Chris Wallace and surprised to see he worked here. I emailed back and fourth with him and he was incredibly easy to work with. I got a tattoo on my wrist and he really listened to what I wanted and how I wanted it. He was so good that I'm actually going back with my sisters to get a tattoo done. If you're looking for a good tattoo artist, I really suggest going to Chris or at least check out his portfolio. I'm so happy with the entire process. read more

Everybody here is great. I've been here twice. Both times got tattooed by Bear. He did my cover up today. ON MY HAND!!! I came in the night before, was greeted by Lin and Bear. Super nice. I then explained what I wanted, which wasn't that complicated. Bear understood it. (Turns out Bear did my chest tattoo couple years prior. Lol I have a bad memory obviously.) And bam. Made a deposit, made a appointment for the next day. Came in, and my tattoo hurt, of course it a hand tattoo. I was bitching a little bit. Bear was super understanding and did a gnarly job. My "cover up" doesn't even look like a cover up. This is a new tattoo. Lol. Im most definitely recommending Bear And most definitely coming back. read more

I came into the shop to purchase jewelry and was immediately right as I walked in being asked questions about my tongue piercing that is fully healed and I have had no issues. I didn't even come in for them to look at any piercings I had. I wanted to simply buy jewelry. I felt very uncomfortable and frustrated considering I'm a grown adult and I don't need people making comments about things I've chosen to do with my body. I've got two tongue rings nipple rings tattoos from head to toe, I know how this shit goes and works. I have a snake eyes tongue ring and the front woman kept putting it down and saying how dangerous it was and how do I move my tongue around and "we don't care about what people do with their bodies but it's so dangerous why did you do that" and kept going on and on making me SO uncomfortable. I proceeded to walk to the jewelry and before I could even finished my sentence of wanting to purchase a new tongue ring they told me no they can't do that. They assumed I was going to ask him to put it in for me, at that point I didn't even want to spend my money there. Super rude super weird vibe super unprofessional. I'll never go to that shop ever again. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. No offense to the people putting 5 star reviews but you guys need to get out more and find a better shop. this was probably one of the worst experiences I've had in a tattoo/ piercing shop. read more
