First off, this has to be the cleanest shop I've ever been in. Every inch of that place was…read morehygienic. From the moment we walked in, staff were super friendly and eager to help out. I also noticed them taking special care to consult with and guide folks who were new to tattoos without coming across as condescending, which was really awesome. A huge shout out to Travis. He was super friendly and communicative and really collaborated with me to nail down a design I loved. He executed the tattoo to perfection as well and added a bunch of details that made my memorial tattoo really sing. He even took the time after I left to message me with some aftercare tips. I can't recommend Travis enough.

Me and my friend came to get her first set of piercing today and the customer service was truly…read moreexceptional. Even tho there were customers behind us, we were never rushed to make a quick decision. We really took our time deciding but the lady (the owner) helping us made us feel like a priority the whole time. Super sweet and helpful. And she's the one who did the piercings for us, 10/10! Def want to come back for more piercings. it's a bit pricey but once we got the service we were like, this is 100-6 worth it.

I set up with the artist Jacob. I had been following his work for a while now and his work is…read moreincredible. He gave me a quote for the project and the time it would take to complete the project. He is very personal and very focused. When he is working he can get so into the creation he may go quiet for a bit but don't take that as he is not listening or doesn't care he is just in the moment concentrating on the work and it shows when project is finished. He was able to recreate the design I had made perfectly. The colors used were almost perfect. The place was very chill and I lost track of time watching him work. Great job Jacob. I look forward to our next project.

I attached a photo of my cover up... it's such a good cover up... can't see the old tattoo.

I've lived 5 minutes from this place for nearly 10 years and wish I had started way sooner - I…read moredon't know why I hesitated for so long - just pure laziness. Which is so silly because making the appointment is so easy through their website. I've now had 5 total piercings at DV8 over the course of the last year and a half on my ear curation journey. All are healing well and I'm very happy with the placements.  Keep in mind the jewelry is not included in the piercing fee, and it can add up quick if you're a gold lover. But if you're getting subsequent piercings, they allow you to bring in any previous jewelry that you've already purchased from them to use for future piercings. Just keep in mind that your appointment may take a little longer because they will need to sanitize the jewelry. I'm most impressed with the detailed aftercare instructions. I was horrified by the lack of instructions my sister received after being pierced at a VERY POPULAR piercing place in Berkely on Telegraph Ave (you know the place). She came with me to one of my appointments at DV8 and said, wow, they didn't tell me ANY of that stuff at the other place. And I was like, I KNOW - that's why I only come to DV8. They are also certified by the Association of Professional Piercers, so I feel confident that everything they do is safe and sanitary.

Friendly staff and clean environment. However, pricing on their website was very deceptive. I got…read moremy earlobes pierced, which was listed as $25. This turned out to be $25 per ear, which does NOT include the price of jewelry. I picked some of the simplest studs they offered, and those plus the backing came out to an additional $86. We were told they would not use outside jewelry- which is fine, but with prices like these? Ouch!! Overall quality was acceptable, but $136 before tax and tip is much too high for a basic piercing.

It's perfect, which is a word I don't use lightly, and I absolutely recommend him!

PLEASE be cautious and ask as many questions as possible. They have potential to be good because of the low price but were not upfront about what they were doing. The staff was kind and patient to me although my sisters piercer was curt and a bit unhelpful. They definitely need to upgrade their jewelry and/or switch to internally threaded flat backs.
