I had such a great experience getting my nostril pierced here! Britt was amazing. Her experience really showed through the entire process. She gave clear direction and helpful cues, which made me feel comfortable and confident from start to finish. I really appreciated her patience while I took my time deciding on the exact placement, and she never made me feel rushed even though I had a ton of questions. It's now been four weeks, and my piercing is healing beautifully so far, which definitely speaks to the quality of her work. Also, shoutout to Sergio at the front. He was super patient and helped me pick out the perfect jewelry. The whole space had great energy, with friendly, helpful people all around. read more

Between me and my daughter, we've gotten pierced 5 times at Chief. Britt is the absolute best piercer I've ever been too This is a licensed and dedicated piercing shop. My favorite part is they are always going to honest with you about whether or not a specific piercing is safe with your anatomy. Britt tells you what's happening every step of the way so you're never wondering what's touching you (is it the needle or a toothpick? Am I being pierced now?). They have an incredible jewelry selection which is all super high quality (e.g., surgical steel) and provide you with uniodized salt for your aftercare with very clear instructions. The shop itself is very calming, in an cute older sacramento house converted to businesses, lots of plants and neat artwork. Their quality and care standards are top notch. Chief has my trust and business for life! Highly, highly recommend read more

Walked in on a Sunday for a conch piercing, waiting room was full but only took about 35 minutes for my turn. Been a staple in sac for a long time- obsessed with the set up of a little house vibe they have. Definitely more expensive as far as piercings go- but the quality and experience of the piercers and jewelry is worth it. Maybe try somewhere cheaper if you're just getting a simple lobe piercing- but anything more than that, this is the place to go. Super awesome staff read more

Britt is fantastic and improved upon the old location of a previous piercing. After a short amount of time, i felt confident in trusting Britt with this service and future services! The front staff went over jewelery choices, sizes and let me "try" some on. Everything went smoothly. The staff are kind and skilled. I was given care instructions at the end of my transaction. There is very limited street parking and a few next door paid parking lots. The price for my service of nostril piercing was very reasonable. read more

Honestly this place is perfection. From the front reception to Brit I believe her name is. I got pierced and it was the most relaxed, easiest, well thorough experience I've ever had. It's detail oriented and just one of a kind. If you need a piercing this is the place hands down. read more

Came here to get my second set of lobe piercings. And I was looking for a place with people who had a lot of experiencing..I also also hoping to get my first lobes piercings looked at to see if they would be able to "redo" because I did not like how my earrings look when I put them in. After checking they didnt not recommend redoing the piercings. The healing of my second set of lobes went really well and im loving the studs that I picked out from them. The thing that made huge difference is their recommendation to use coconut oil at the piercing site. The place was very zen with a bohemian/goth (?) vibe read more

I'm having work redone. I am in the early stages, but the reception has been fantastic from the start. I will review after my session with them. read more

The service was great! They answered all of questions via phone before I even made it to my appt. Once there, I love the vibe. Great music playing and a really chill environment. I replaced my nose ring and got my Daith pierced. They told me everything they were going to do before hand. She measured several times to make sure it was in the proper area. She even put in a tester to make sure I liked it. The piercing was quick with little to no pain, just more pressure. I'm so happy with how it turned out and we will be back!! read more

Second time here for piercings and it's always a pleasing experience. There is always a couple hour walk in wait, so an appointment is seats recommended unless you have time to walk across the street to Temple coffee for a cup of coffee to chill and wait. Staff is always very nice, patient and informative. Lots of beautiful jewelry to choose from that are of high grade quality that has not given me any troubles. Piercers are always very very very patient and informative. You can tell that they are about the customer and their well being giving all the pros and cons of every piercing choice as well as information to make the correct decision for yourself. They are very hygienic changing their gloves consistently and seeing their sterilization process. I always fee comfortable here. They also have nice waiting area with lots of beautiful plants. It is located upstairs past the barber shop that is downstairs. Highly recommended, because it is always hard to find a pricing business that is trustworthy. read more

My nervous 16 year-old had a great experience with her first piercing. She didn't even feel the first one and had minimal pain with the second one. Slight redness to her earlobes for a day or two otherwise no problems. She soaked her earlobes in salt water for a week afterwards before bed as instructed, very easy aftercare. A very interesting place with lots of cool things to look at - we enjoyed the tattoo photos books while we were waiting. read more

My daughter wanted her nose pierced for her birthday. I saw a bunch of good reviews on this place. I brought her here in May to get it done. I made an appointment online. When we got there I needed to show a birth certificate and my ID because she is a minor. The staff were absolutely amazing. It was so clean and they sanitized everything in front of us. They even let my daughter know step by step what they were doing. I love that. I instantly referred friends. We went back for her 6 month follow up where they down size the piercing. Everything went well and my daughter is super happy with her nose ring. We will definitely come back with any other piercing needs. I love this place. read more

I've been going here since 2019. Almost (about 10 of them) all of my piercings have been done by Kat who has done an amazing job and they've all healed beautifully with no complications. I recently got my second helix done with Britt who was super friendly and walked me through the entire process. Pretty much the only place I go to for piercings. read more

Tay is Amazing! I have been lucky enough to have her for my nostril piercing and then to help me downsize my jewelry and find a new stud. She quickly understood what I was needing and helped me pick out a new piece of jewelry and change it out for me. Her presence, calm and kindness is deeply appreciated. You will love the healing, peaceful vibe of the studio. read more

If you're looking for personable, down to earth people who are knowledgeable about piercings come to Chief Piercing! The shop itself is very cute, filled with natural light and lots of plants. It's was very clean. Sergio was very sweet and helpful throughout my piercing process. I got my stack done. Britt pierced me and talked me through the whole process as they performed what they did. Talking through each step very helpful for me and could be beneficial for people who are getting piercings done for the first time so they know what's happening. Will be back if I want another piercing! read more

Came in for a jewelry change because my rook piercing fell out after playing with it. Left with some new pieces for my rook, conch and helix! Definitely recommend booking an appointment to save time and guarantee a spot. Does get pretty busy on the weekends! The staff is so nice here and super helpful. On the pricier side, but it was a splurge on myself since I wanted to transition to solid gold pieces for my ears. read more

Gone in back in July for a double lol piercing. Haven't had a piercing done in 20 yrs. The gentleman at the front counter was super helpful right down from the appointment to helping with selections which ended up choosing gold pieces. Might I had they have an extensive selection of beautiful crafted piercings. The woman herself that pierced was gentle, quick and professional. The entire facility felt clean and hygienic - gone into some other buildings where the vibe and cleanliness was off but not this location. Glad I found them off yelp and drove my happy ass an hour and half here. Wishing them all the continued success! read more

Went here with my wife for her body piercings based on Yelp reviews and my fellow Yelpers did not steer us wrong! Funky environment in the upstairs of a typical midtown two story building. Felt a little self conscious about being the oldest folks in the place but staff were kind and gracious. Brit immediately made my wife feel comfortable and set us both at ease. She was very knowledgeable, competent and appropriately confident in her abilities. Very clean shop but my ONLY issue is the staff wear gloves everywhere and you never see them actually change them between handling objects in the front of the house and dealing with clients (Brit was understanding when I asked her to don a new pair of gloves). Overall I highly recommend Chief Piercing to anyone looking to get a basic piercing like ears to something more intimate like nipples. read more

Everything is fantastic here. The vibes, the decor, the customer service, and the light touch with piercing is excellent and off the charts. I wholeheartedly recommend this business. They are sweethearts. read more

Great vibe, I forget the young lady who did my piercing, but she was fantastic. I highly recommend this piercing studio.

I went back and got my 4th ear piercings done. First one wasn't so bad, second one was a pain BUT, the next day, I feel absolutely NOTHING! I will continue to treat and I may possibly be back for more at a later date. read more

Amazing experience here. Britt was my piercer and she walked me through all the steps and told me exactly what she was doing.

Went step by step on what she was doing . Love this place 10/10 !!! read more

Thank you Britt for the awesome service and comforting character. I would definitely recommend Chief Piercing to a friend.

The best piercers and most knowledgeable staff. They provide such a calming environment.

I came to Chief to get my septum pierced in October and it was an incredible experience! I had to RSVP a couple months in advance because Katrina was booked out... but it was for good reason and she was worth the wait! I've wanted a septum piercing for a long time but have felt pretty anxious about the pain and healing process. I chose to go to Chief because their website was encouraging and empowering and soothed a lot of my fears. I was able to read a few blogs with healing tips and information on what to expect. On the day of my appointment, I was so happy to see that the whole shop felt so peaceful and serene. It definitely took the edge off. The receptionist was kind, helpful, and disarming and got me all set up with my release forms and a bag of salt to take home for saline baths. The piercer, Katrina, was gentle, patient, and kind as she explained what she'd be doing. She let me ask as many questions as I needed to so that I'd feel comfortable and safe. She was committed to practicing exceptional hygiene with her tools and wore a mask while piercing me. The piercing itself took all of one minute. It was so fast and didn't hurt as much as I expected. I was really surprised. It was more like a pinch than anything, and even though my eyes watered a little bit, I didn't have any lasting pain in my nose the rest of the day. Just a little stiffness and a bit of tenderness at the point of my nose. Katrina put in a piece of retainer jewelry tucked up and hidden from view and we scheduled my jewelry choosing day for December. Healing was quite easy. I did the recommended salt bath every day and used a dab of coconut oil to keep the area moisturized, and that helped with any irritation. The retainer was pretty comfortable, although it was a bit hard to keep my nose clear (totally expected). I healed really well -- it was even easier than my earlobes! In December I chose my final jewelry. This shop has lots of great options, and although some rings are pricey, they are GORGEOUS and high quality. I ended up choosing two rings because I loved them so much. I asked if I could hold a mirror and if Katrina could explain the install step-by-step so I could learn how to do it myself, and she did that so patiently. My piercing looks incredible and I'm so happy. (It's so much easier to blow my nose now with the regular piercing installed instead of the retainer.) This little shop is absolutely worth the wait and the price for the atmosphere! Thank you for providing my little anxious self with such a great experience, Katrina! read more

Brit was a fantastic piercer who was incredibly kind and the piercings themselves didn't really hurt! They kept the mood very friendly and comfortable. Brit has an incredible sense of style, I knew I could count on them to lead me right with jewelry and piercing placement recommendations. When it turned out that I have the wrong anatomy for an industrial bar, Brit recommended a faux rook and helix piercing instead, they explained I could link them with a chain once healed for a similar look. I am so glad I took their advice, I have non-stop been looking up at my freshly ear in my rear mirror, I'm very pleased with how it looks. After piercing, Brit answered my questions thoroughly and gave great advice that was backed with their own experiences. Even describing how I could still sleep on my pierced side with the correct pillow. Would definitely come here again in the future! read more

I'm not sure my 5.0 star review is going to add much to the already fantastic reviews for Katrina and Chief, but it's important the entire staff is recognized. Sergio and Katrina were just phenomenal. I got my nipples pierced and the time spent prepping and lining up where the piercing would go, I was very impressed. Katrina was a calming energy, and it helped this go smoothly. The piercing itself was about as painful as I expected but over in about 10 seconds. She was so knowledgeable and they came out GREAT. Sergio is a great front of the house person. Friendly, helpful and accommodating. I will be going back for all future piercings and jewelry read more

My daughter's ear piercing at Chief Piercing cost $147 for both ears, which we believed covered the complete service including hardware. They used long‑shank starter studs that we could not remove ourselves. Two months later we returned for the promised follow‑up appointment. They removed the original studs at no charge but then requested $16 per post (a total of $32) for shorter titanium pins. We declined. Hidden extra fees, unclear policies, and studs so tight that you cannot swap in your own earrings make this service overpriced and not recommended. read more

I visited Chief Piercing yesterday for my first cartilage piercing (helix) and couldn't be happier with my experience! I booked an appointment the night before (which was super easy online), and checked in with Sergio at the front desk when I arrived. Sergio was SO sweet and helpful in answering my questions, offering advice, and walking me through the aftercare/how to get in touch if I needed anything further. He and the calm environment of the shop immediately put me at ease. They also had a gorgeous variety of jewelry to choose from. Brittany was equally as amazing! I discussed some of my goals/thoughts with this piercing and a future conch, and Britt gave me some great insight before thoroughly prepping for my helix piercing. I really appreciated that Britt checked in with me at every step and told me exactly what to expect. Definitely HIGHLY recommend coming to Chief, and I will absolutely be coming back for my next piercings! read more
