    Tongue piercing
    Marissa P.

    BEST Piercing Experience Ever--Tongue & Nipples Done Flawlessly! If I could give 10 stars, I would! I came in super nervous to get my tongue repierced and nipples done--both areas that require trust, precision, and skill--and I walked out beyond impressed. I was scared honestly, because I had heard a lot of horror stories about how much your nipples hurt to get pierced but he made me feel SO calm. He walked me through step by step and made me feel so comfortable. From the moment I walked in, the energy was chill, professional, and so welcoming. My piercer Craig was seriously the BEST. They took the time to walk me through every step, answered all my (probably annoying) questions, and made sure I felt safe, seen, and comfortable the entire time. Tongue repiercing: Smooth, fast, and almost painless. The placement was perfect and healing has been a breeze thanks to their detailed aftercare instructions. Nipples: I was honestly terrified, but he was so calm, respectful, and confident that it put me at ease. The piercings were super clean, symmetrical, and done with such care. The pain was way less than I expected, and the healing is going better than I imagined. The studio was spotless and sterile, everything was opened in front of me, and I could tell they take hygiene super seriously. Honestly, I've had piercings done at other shops before and none of them even come close to this experience. If you're looking for someone who truly knows what they're doing and actually cares about your body and your experience, this is the place. I've never felt so empowered and happy walking out of a piercing studio before. Highly recommend for any piercings, but especially the more intimate or sensitive ones. You'll be in the absolute best hands.

    Eyebrow piercing

    I've been meaning to write a review for Craig for a while now. He's been doing all of my piercings for the past two years, and I couldn't be happier. He has pierced both of my nostrils, my septum, my eyebrows, and most recently my vertical labret. Craig is extremely gentle, patient, and always takes the time to answer all of my questions and concerns. Before each piercing, I usually get nervous because I've read so many stories of people having really painful experiences. But with Craig, it's always the complete opposite every single piercing has been so much less painful than I expected. Honestly, he has a special touch that makes the whole process surprisingly comfortable. He's absolutely amazing, and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering a piercing!

    Eyebrow piercing

    Got my eyebrow pierced 3 days ago by Craig! Craig was so kind, patient, and communicative. He took his time to help me decide where I wanted my eyebrow piercing placed, and walked me through each step he took as he was cleaning and piercing me. He also answered several questions I had regarding after care, and gave me an informative pamphlet regarding piercing aftercare. So obsessed with my piercing! Thank you Craig! pic is immediately after piercing was done

    We LOVE LOVE LOVE Craig the piercer! We have been coming here for years! And Craig is our favorite piercer. Over the years my teenager has had her nostril pierced, got the industrial piercing, cartridge and now she just got her septum pierced. The best part is that Craig is really good at talking the client through the piercing. He explains everything he is doing and he is so experienced. My daughter does not even flinch! He is so fast and efficient. I really can not say enough great things and writing a review is long overdue. Thank YOU Craig!

I've been following a few of the Baron artists on instagram for a while. I really like most their style is fine line. I found David and really liked his style of gentle smoke and transitions. It was easy to book with him through their website link. David's a bit shy but when I came for my appointment, we worked together to lock in the final design. It was a smooth session. The studio is very open and close to other chairs so I appreciate that he had a screen set up to make our session more private since the piece was in my upper thigh. He provided a complimentary first touch up.

From the very first consultation to the final touch-up, the entire experience was professional, comfortable, and stress‑free. The artist took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, offered great suggestions, and turned my idea into a design that was even better than I imagined. The linework is clean, precise, and super detailed; the shading is smooth and natural, and the overall composition is perfect. During the session, the artist was gentle, patient, and checked in on me regularly to make sure I was okay. The studio was clean, hygienic, and had a really relaxed atmosphere. I'm absolutely in love with the result. It's beautiful, meaningful, and done with so much skill. I highly recommend this artist to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and caring tattooist. I will definitely be coming back for my next piece!

I walked in and picked a set of earrings and off to see Eric, who literally made it painless. He gave me post-care instructions, and asked that I come back in 8 weeks for a follow-up visit and to shorten the posts. We just shortened the posts and it's been great. I've followed their care instructions and have been very happy. If you need a place where they keep standards high to protect you as a client and make things easy, this is your place.

    While this shop has APP members, the experience of coming to this studio lacks what other…read morestudios/APP members provide. Lots of parking outside. The studio is very small. Because they take walk-ins, it can get very busy. When I went, it was incredibly loud and packed, and the counterstaff did not attend to this issue (they could have asked those not in for a service to wait outside, made the line to the counter clear, etc). The counterstaff seemed friendly (but didn't appear confident when I asked her what size jewelry posts I got after my appointment). There is a good selection of fine jewelry, both titanium and gold which was great. For my downsize, the piercer didn't close the door behind us, so there was a lack of privacy. I also wasn't presented with the new backings of my jewelry or shown that they had been properly sterilized by their autoclave/statim, and it felt very rushed. I got multiple piercings downsized and for some reason, the piercer utilized a backing from my flat to downsize a lobe piercing. I'm not sure why they did that, as 1) the gauges of the jewelry were different and 2) this left a lot of room extra room between my jewelry and my lobe. Please keep in mind that all of my piercings are well healed over 5+ years and I wanted the most snug fit possible, and was not given that. I should have said something in the moment about this, but as a more reserved person, I'm not one to complain when someone already seems like they're rushing me. After the downsize, I went back to my main piercing studio (over an hour away) to get my lobe properly downsized. I really feel like I wasted my time here, both in waiting over 45 minutes for a downsize and in not getting a properly fitting end. I was honestly shocked at my experience due to the reviews this place has. But maybe I am pickier than most when it comes to these things. Bottom line though is at least they safely pierce and have good jewelry. If you don't nitpick like me, you'll be fine going here.

One thing I really liked was how Simba explained each step of the process. I was nervous about getting a crooked piercing after my friend had that experience.

He marked out exactly where the piercing will be using measuring tools. The naval piercing came out to $105 + tip. The service itself is $40-50, and I chose a floating naval jewelry which was put together by Simba himself ($65). I had "thick tissue" so pain was a 7/10 but the cooling jelly helped lol.

I gave it two stars because that interaction in itself was very yucky and condescending. Highly uncomfortable. I never went back.

If you're not, I recommend the piercing shop in orange that will still give you good quality jewelry at a normal price, including the piercings at a normal price and they are just as knowledgeable as the piercers at C&M if not more. Don't make the same mistake I did coming here.
