Thank you Gloria! I walked in, waited 5 minutes, presented what I wanted and possible problems. Gloria examined me, did the work and I left very happy. I recommend this piercing shop! read more

I came here about two weeks ago to swap my nose ring and nose stud piercing. All I had done was get them swapped on the sides of my nose. I had jewelry of my own already in, I let the female piercer know that my jewelry needed to be TWISTED in opposite directions for the nose ring to unclip, instead she just pull the two sides apart. She scratched the hell out of my nose ring trying to pull it apart, she then put it in on the other side and did not even clamp my nose ring closed all the way. She did it uneven and the two ends didn't line up, instead when the open clasp would get caught inside my nose it would get stuck since it was not a perfectly closed loop anymore. She also tried closing it and made it lopsided, it is no longer a circle but an uneven oval! I DO NOT RECOMMEND coming here. I had never been here before and this was a terrible experience. This left me with having a messed up piercing since my healed 5 year old nose piercing was irritated due to this mistake she made. Go to a real professional please, instead of here. read more

Gloria, the piercer, is super kind and attentive. I unfortunately had to remove my wrist dermal that I've had since Jan 2012 and that thing was STUCK. She was super persistent and got it out and talked to me throughout the entire process. Her assistant (I believe) Jenna was also really nice and they were both easy to talk to. Will return if/when I'm ready to get my dermal back/any new piercings. read more

I got my nostril pierced here by Gloria in September and just recently went and got the post changed to a shorter post. Both times I've been welcomed by Gloria and have had a really wonderful experience! I hope I can come back soon and get more piercings by her, she's very talented and knows what she's doing with a needle! read more

When in for my septum and it was great! I called and they told me I could come in and get it done, and that's exactly what happened. My piercer was Jess and she was incredible! Even though my nose was little crooked, she did such an amazing job and walked me through everything I needed to get done. Would totally recommend! read more

Gloria the piercer is creative and is thoughtful w/ placement. Most of my piercings come from her. She has plenty of beautiful jewelry to choose from. I am sensitive to nickel and she carries titanium (hypoallergenic). She takes walk ins and don't forget your valid ID when you come! read more

I've been seeing Gloria for about two years now and she's awesome! She's professional, communicative, and willing to work with your budget. She gives you ample time to select jewelry, ask questions, and ensures you are comfortable with the process the whole way through. I've had two of my piercings done by her, and they've both healed incredibly well! She keeps a good selection of jewelry across different price points/materials so you can find what you're looking for. tldr: Good vibes, great piercer! read more

I had been wanting to get my ears for some time. So I reached out to a woman named "Gloria" and asked her about my options. I chosen to get my ear lobes pierced with black studs she had available. First, the shop was very cleaned, organized, and straight forward. The art I saw staged on the walls gave the shop life. The team there were very respectful. Im not even going to lie, Jesus Christ himself would get a tattoo, and a new piercing on the same day going to this shop. That sounds like im joking, but im not. Second, I went in looking ugly; I was straight Domo looking, and the new piercings that Gloria gave me left me looking fabulous. I felt like Taylor Swift would of asked me to be in her next music video. Thats how prettfyful I was feeling. My ears all sparkly, my confidence at an all time high. I felt so beautiful that im sure that there will be 72 virgins waiting for me in the afterlife when I die. I would highly suggest Gloria to take care of you for your next piercing. I would absolutely suggest this shop for a tattoo as well for how clean it was. How unique the art was that I seen. Thank you Belmont tattoos! read more

I went in for a jewelry change having called first and learned that they do walk-ins for such things. Jess, the piercest on duty at that time, was a delight! She was friendly, professional, and chatted happily with me as she helped replace my Daith piercings. I will definitely be back for my next piercing. read more

I've gotten many piercings here, from age 15-23, and the piercers have always been so kind. They've always made me feel comfortable and safe. The shop is very tidy, and you can tell they prioritize safety, cleanliness, and the clients' expectations. read more

Quick, efficient, clean and friendly! I was able to get my ear re-pierced while I waited for my car to be detailed. It was a short walk from where my car was, so I thought why not? I waited maybe 15 minutes and my piercer (I forgot her name) made sure the closed up earring hole was actually closed. It was quick and I was out the door within 10 minutes. The services are priced reasonably. They had a decent amount of jewelry options as well. read more

Pretty weird experience here My best friend and I came here to get some fun spontaneous piercings. I got two ear piercings and she got a nose piercing. I went in the room first and the girl who pierced me kept complaining about how tired she was and how she couldn't wait to go home. Instead of clarifying what I wanted or asking me any questions, she just complained about how over it she was. I literally made a joke like "Ummm should you be piercing me right now?" I had specifically asked the receptionist for a certain type of earring because my ears are sensitive. So anyways I get pierced me and go tell my friend they're ready for her. As I'm about to sit back down the lady who pierced me runs out to get me because she put the wrong earrings on me I go back in the room and she says "wow your ear is already so swollen". She puts the new piercings which hurt so bad and I go back to the waiting room. My best friend gets her nose pierced and she comes out the room and tells me "Am I trippin or is this nose ring not the one I picked?" . They put the wrong nose ring on her too! I don't know what happened this day at this shop but what a mess. $300+ later and all we can do is laugh and never recommend anyone here again read more

Love this place! Super cute and clean with a good vibe and varied artists. I have two tattoos from Paul that I adore, and he always is a good time to hang out with while getting tattooed, and I just got pierced today by Gloria for the first time. She helped me realize one of my piercings I wanted her to repierce was actually open and she helped me fit a piece of jewelry in it at no extra cost, and then she pierced my other nostril and took her time to make sure it was symmetrical. Highly recommend! read more

I got my septum pierced here about a year and a half ago, and it was possibly the smoothest, easiest, and friendliest piercing experience i've ever had (i've had a lot of them.) I had to take the piercing out to get a septoplasty surgery done late last year and now that it's finally healed, I plan to come back here to get my septum repierced. read more

Very professional and honest! Had a great experience! Went back next day and brought a friend as well for another piercing!

The piercing technician is awesome!! She's so kind, communicative, and mellow (and accommodating) - I've visited twice for piercings and she's made both experiences great. I've even brought others with me to get piercings. Make sure you bring cash, and if you have questions you can call ahead. Note it's walk in only, so make sure you've allotted time to hang out for a bit. read more

Unfortunately I have to write this negative review, which is disappointing as I had a great experience here. Two weeks ago I came in to get my conch pierced. I loved the entire process, the piercer was gentle and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Picking out the jewelry was easy and the whole piercing process went smoothly. I was very pleased with the whole experience. When discussing aftercare and such I was looking at my piercing and I noticed that the earring itself was rather short. The piercer told me its shorter because with this placement my hair would get caught in it more easily and they did not want me to risk yanking it out. At the time that sounded like a pretty decent argument so I let my initial thought slide. But I wish I didn't. I have many other piercings, and from my other piercing experiences, I had always gotten pierced with super long earrings to make room for swelling. In this case because the earring I was pierced with was too short, there was absolutely no room for swelling. It was about the size of a standard earring that you would use daily. At this time I have had the piercing for two weeks now, I did all the proper aftercare for the piercing, but of course that won't prevent my ear from getting swollen. It swelled so much to the point that my earring became embedded. I revisited this location in hopes to get the original piercer to look at it, but unfortunately they were out of town. Luckily there was another local piercing shop that took a look at my ear in hopes that they could help me. Upon arrival they checked and informed me that earring was completely sealed off. The back of my earring was definitely embedded under my skin. So they suggested I go to the ER as soon as possible because of the risk of infection. So two days ago, I went to the ER to get it removed. Thankfully it is out now, but it was a painful and unpleasant experience. I'm extremely disappointed because reading through the rest of these reviews, this shop seems loved by many. And unfortunately I did not get to share the same experience. I don't know why the piercer would choose that size earring as it seems they are a professional who knows that wouldn't be the best or safest decision. I don't know if they lacked the right size jewelry or they just wanted to make more money that day. Whatever the case I just hope they don't make the same mistake again as I would not want anyone else to experience what I did. read more

Went to get a nose piercing & service was great! It was $75 for a nose piercing plus $35 for the jewelry. My piercer did a great job!

Came in for an ear piercing walk-in and was met with some of the worst customer service I've ever received. Ear piercings are located downstairs but the entrance was closed off. Upon coming upstairs for help I was told do go back downstairs and wait. Employees were chatting in the room and actively ignoring me. The same employee from upstairs came downstairs and asked me some questions (which I couldn't hear due to loud music/conversations and the fact that I am hard of hearing). I asked her to please repeat and she yelled them at me. I immediately declined their service afterwards. It's a shame that the customer interaction was so poor that no service was even preformed. I came to this shop almost 10 years ago for another piercing and had a much better experience then. I am unsure if the management has changed, but I'm shocked at how I was treated as a returning customer. read more

Jess, you are a gem! I anxiously came in for a cartilage/helix piercing yesterday but Jess's calm demeanor helped the process not be so scary. There was a bit of a wait but that was sort of expected due to the high positive feedback of the place here on Yelp. When I came in, Jess showed me a variety of earring options and the stud I chose + the piercing costed $75. The process was quick, painless, and worth it! I'm so happy with the piercing and I already want to come back! read more

Gloria is amazing. My daughter has been going here for over a year and started with her nose piercing that was infected due to a bad job done in Vegas that cost $200. Gloria was able to remove the post, help my daughter heal the infection, and pierce the other side. Since then we have been back for three ear holes for my daughter and my nose ring. Gloria explained the processes throughly and aftercare. The young girl in front also has been extremely helpful and fun to chat with. wait time has been less than one hour each time (weekends and/or weekdays). I would recommend this place to anyone considering a piercing! PS. None of the piercing ever became inflamed or infected. read more

Called in and was told the piercer was on a break. We decided we'd go wait, which felt like forever but alas, Gloria was chill and fantastic. Pierced my boyfriends nose and walked him through the whole thing. She also reopened my nostril piercing and placed a perfect size hoop in for me. Made us feel super comfortable. I thought the prices were standard. read more

First, I have researched many places in the peninsula area and I find Belmont Tatoo the most interesting with several talented artists and the sweetest piercer "Jess" . Last year, both my daughters asked to get nose piercings and I contacted Jess, made an appointment and met her on the day. Belmont Tatoo is so conveniently located in the peninsula area of Belmont in El Camino which was so easy to find. They have excellent parking spaces for their customers. When we arrived we were greeted warmly and I thought they were so neat and clean and truly prioritizes everyone's health and safety by wearing masks, having hand sanitizers and making sure of social distancing. They communicate thoroughly not only verbally but also they have everything in writing. The shop is nicely decorated with all of their Tatoo artistry. It was well Organized and clean. They have several jewelries to choose from too. Jess was super sweet to my teenage daughters and made them feel welcome and at ease as they were being a bit nervous and excited. Before Jess started with the piercings she explained how they make sure that every single tool that is being used were brand new and extremely sanitized. Jess was gentle throughout the process and the piercings went extremely well. My daughters looks super cute and they were both very happy with the outcome. Thank you Jess!!! We will return for another piercings in the future I'm sure. Now, my oldest daughter is turning 18, and even-though she is technically an adult, she still gave us the courtesy of asking if she could get her first Tatoo and if we could take her. She already have done her researched and selected her Tatoo artist from Belmont Tatoo and contacted Ann Bloor. She made an appointment and today was that day. We arrived on time and Ann was so ready for us. She is super sweet and welcoming. Answered all of our questions. My daughter felt nervous at first but after speaking with Ann she was so sure about what she wanted and felt relax in Ann's care. I thought we connected with Ann well and we trusted her. Ann wore all the necessary protected equipments and made sure we are aware that her tools were clean and used brand new needles. Throughout the process, my daughter was super brave and Ann's hands were gentle from beginning to end and they finished faster than expected and the outcome were mesmerizing. My daughter was happy and extremely satisfied. Thank you Ann!!! We will definitely return again in the near future. So to sum it all up. Belmont Tatoo is the place to go for tattoos and piercings. I highly recommend them!!! read more

My husband and I were charged $320 for tattoos that ended up blending together a year later. I asked him the price and I was told $160. I asked "$160 total for the both of us?" He said yes. I thought why not considering the fact it was a simple tattoo. When it came time to pay, he said "that will be $320." I questioned the total price because that was not what we were initially quoted. $320 after it was already done. What a scam. Update: since the owner claims I got the wrong shop I'll add my bank statement to prove it. I can post my review when I want. The only thing I'm wrong about was the price. $300 instead of $320. My apologies. read more

I went with my cousin to get my nose pierced for the second time and my cousin was going to get her nose pierced as well. I was pleasantly surprised that my piercing was still open and I appreciated the honestly and the money saved! Everyone was patient with my questions and able to provide lots of information. I felt like I was in good hands! It's been a couple of months and everything is healing nicely. (I believe our piercers name was Stephanie but since it's been a couple of months I'm sort of forgetting, I hope I'm right!) read more

Been going here since high school. One of my favorite shops to get piercings and now tattoos with Chavez. Staff is always friendly and honest about your anatomy. Not every piercing is suit best for you. They will let you know if something works or something doesn't. They have a range of jewelry provided from some locals. Gotta support that side of business. Pricing has increased, but I wouldn't complain with this right service. If you need to change a piercing, they are willing to help you. Jess is no longer there (great, friendly piercer) but we have Gloria. Gloria is just as welcoming as Jess and she knows her sh*t! I will be coming here again and again. I have brought friends and family here. I recommend this location! read more

Belmont Tattoo - Gloria piercing my best friend with a Tragus piercing. - Tattoo Near Me - Belmont, California

I've gotten several tattoos and piercings at this shop and have never had a problem. Until last week I went in to get my lip pierced. Right off the bat, the piercer was rude to me and my partner. During the process she said she needed to use the long bar, due to the size of my lip. But she still used a small bar, resulting in the bar growing INTO my lip just days later. She didn't tell me about the after care process or anything. Due to the short bar, the back was growing into my lip and the front was causing an indent on my lip. Unfortunately I had to take it out. I reached out to Belmont Tattoo to tell them about the experience and asked for a refund on the price of the piercing. Not a whole refund but just the price of the piercing... but they responded by blocking me. Never again will I go to or suggest this place. The fact I've been coming here for YEARS and didn't get communication but also got blocked ?? Didn't know a bunch of teenagers ran the shop. read more

Walked in today to get a piercing. I was pretty nervous almost all day before I got the courage to go. I looked up piercing shops in the area and Belmont tattoo had the best ones. Jess did my piercing and she was so amazing! She talked me through everything and let me know what she was doing every step of the way. She showed me my jewelry options and pricing before we started. And after she thoroughly explained my cleaning instructions and what items I can buy to keep it clean. If I decide to get any other piercings I will definitely be coming here! I got both nipples pierced and my total with normal barbells was $100. I am very happy with my choice to come here. read more

This review is only for the piercing shop in the back and info for parents wanting to get their minor child a piercing. We saw Jess who was amazing with my kid, really made her feel comfortable, explained everything in detail and didn't rush us. She was friendly and kind and clearly very experienced. Would definitely go back and ask for Jess. Here's the details. I learned the hard way so you don't have to! - The piercing entrance is through the parking lot in the back, so park back there. - You can not make an appointment, mid-day is the slowest, we went at 4:00 and there were 3 people ahead of us. - Hours are 12:00 to 7:00 (not sure if it's 7:00 or 8:00) Tuesday through Saturday. No piercings done on Sunday or Monday despite their hours posted on Yelp. I think that info is for the tattoo parlor. - You are greeted at the door and then wait outside for them to give you an info sheet to fill out and to check your documents. There is no waiting inside the shop so plan accordingly. - Documents you will need - Without these documents, they WILL NOT pierce your child: - your ID - your kids school ID or something showing name and photo - birth certificate (since my last name isn't the same as my child's) Happy piercing! read more

I definitely recommend going to Gloria! She is great! Not only is she patient and friendly but she is thorough and knowledgeable. She did 2 piercings for me!!! They are so cute and the pain was minimal. Lol. I'm excited to go back to her. It's hard to find someone you trust and who actually cares. I also got the opportunity to speak with one of the owners, Karen, who is kind and cares about her clients/customer service. Thanks!!! It's hard to work with people as despite all you try to do, you can't make everyone happy!!! Lol read more

PIERCING REVIEW This review is for Stephanie / cartilage piercing only. I cannot speak for Belmont Tattoo's other services. I got a helix piercing here over 2 years ago. The piercing itself went fine, but Stephanie let me choose a small hoop from their jewelry display with no advice on how it would affect healing. (I later learned from a reputable piercer that a hoop especially as small as mine was almost doomed to irritation and a bump on the back of my ear). Sorta my mistake, I should have done more research and advocated for myself. But a piercer that cares for their clients would have said something. Despite of this initial mess up...... I was also given the hoop *with no ball* which means during the first month of healing the seam would keep getting caught in my ear and my ear would try to heal through it... I'd have to rotate it and split the skin. really painful! I eventually went to a different piercer to get it checked out (this was about a month after I got it done) and he asked me who was responsible for leaving out the ball on my hoop. When I told him which shop I went to, he went "oh it was Stephanie wasn't it?". Apparently she has a reputation! Here I am 2 years later right after I got the piercing removed. Definitely going to a different piercer next time. read more
