    Inside of my nose completely blocked with blood

    This is the second time I've gotten piercings from this place, the first time everything went smoothly, sadly not this time though, it is a clean environment and everyone was very friendly but they failed to let me know the risks of getting pierced with bigger jewelry, I had to go to another piercer to get it removed and change the jewlery, I woke up to my nose and piercing covered in blood, it was never touched moved or bumped, the new piercer let me know the jewlery is what was going to irritate it, as much as someone wants bigger jewelry if it isn't good for you, professionally advise against it. As a professional piercer they should've known this.

    After my son's tattoo. Tristian was a jokester!
    Shana M.

    I went to Union Tattoo in July 2020. I received a forearm tattoo and loved it. Flash forward to 7/6/24, I called and asked if the same gentleman was still working there. I was told no. But John, who I spoke to was really friendly on the phone. My 18 year old son wanted to get his first tattoo done we came in anyway. I also wanted another tattoo as well, super small on my wrist. We met Tristian, the tattoo artist. He was very friendly and accommodating. He was super knowledgeable on what would look good on my son's arm for his tattoo. As he was tattooing my son, I decided to look online for inspiration for my tattoo. I found what I liked but I wanted it more "girly". Tristian went to draw up my tattoo. His vision for my tattoo was spot on! I went way bigger than I expected to! And I placed it on my back, not my wrist. While Tristian was tattooing, it was a relaxing visit. I felt completely at ease. My son thought Tristian was cool! The prices were very reasonable as well! I know, if I ever want another tattoo, I am DEFINITELY coming back to Union Tattoo! The results? Both my son and I LOVE our tattoos! Thank you Tristian and John!

    My new nose piecing! I love it!
    Anetra T.

    Found this place on Yelp! It had great reviews and I see why! John provided excellent customer service along with Phil who actually did my nose piercing was so gentle, and soothing. I was so nervous but I was so calm with Phil. My sister wanted us to come get piercings for Mother's Day and I'm so glad we chose this place! It was definitely worth the drive from Sacramento to Manteca!

    I just got my first tattoo done by Bobby! He was very attention to detail and took his time to get my first piece done the way I wanted it. I will definitely be back for the rest of my sleeve. My girlfriend also got a piece done by Anona, and was very amazing, she took her time and perfected the piece. HIGHLY RECOMMENED

    Anona tattooed this on me

    thank you so much Anona for the entire experience. It was absolutely lovely. I would really recommend to book with her! She was so nice and I really do appreciate the time I had under her care. (This IS NOT her actual art I did steal it from somewhere) thank you!!

    My latest ink from Tristin.

    I have been going to Union Tattoo and piercing for 6 - 7 years now. I've gotten multiple tattoos as well as piercings. Both my husband and my daughter are customers as well. John is extremely helpful and friendly, Phil does an excellent job with any piercings needed in a painless manner. Tristin just did a new piece on my arm and I love it. I have referred multiple people as well and each one has expressed their satisfaction. I highly recommend Union Tattoo and Piercing!

    4 days ago, all these earrings were the same color.  Man John, where'd you get this helix hoop from?? Dollar tree??
    Jessa W.

    a sad story with a modern-day hero: Phil the piercer is the MAN. Phil is kind, compassionate, professional, informative, and made me feel very at ease. 100+++ STARS FOR PHIL!! Definitely give a follow to @piercingdrphil on IG!! the shop owner, "JOHN" disappointed beyond compare. I came to his shop with the happiest vibes this past FRIDAY, for a helix hoop. He showed me this beautiful Rose gold-colored hoop without hesitation. I trusted him as a knowledgeable shop owner and jewelry seller. He was recommending this for my helix, so I happily paid $30 & a $10 tip. FOUR days later, my beautiful helix hoop is tarnished. (See pic) I had NO chemicals near it, and was very careful not to touch it. Honestly I wasn't worried- I believed John would help me out. I came in today, TUESDAY, and explained my situation to him lightheartedly, with a smile, confident that he would sympathize. NO. He abruptly told me , "it's not my problem". But I kept my chill, and gently asked if he'd be willing to replace this tarnished hoop I bought from him, ((four days ago)) with something of lesser value. He defensively said, "it's not my problem, you chose novelty jewelry. It's gonna tarnish in the shower." I responded, "but NO ONE removes their helix jewelry, man. You yourself wouldn't be happy with this. And your shop is so clean and beautiful, I trusted you were selling me quality jewelry. And I tipped because I was happy." He showed zero compassion or kindness. As the shop OWNER, he had NO desire to help my sincere request. I had to beg, unfortunately. He finally gave in, very irritated, and offered a bare basic stud. He warned that he would still charge me a service fee. So I decided to not take ANY more service. He truly lacked all professionalism. His pride completely interfered with his ability to keep a solid customer. I feel disheartened.. big time swindled of $40 for undeniably garbage jewelry. Man, what a sucky experience. This is a people-centered business but he MURDERED the rapport. THANKS to PHIL for singlehandedly keeping the vibes alive by simply being kind, reassuring, and cool. You are a solid dude, Phil. Absolutely no thanks to "John". Sad days, bro. (PICTURE shows my AMAZON fake rose gold earrings compared to the helix hoop that John sold me.... 4 days ago. They all started off the same color) Just got back from InBloom piercing in Tracy, CA. They're amazing. They said this was entirely wrong jewelry for my helix. InBloom studio have had clients coming in WEEKLY to get problems fixed from Manteca's Union tattoo & piercing. I'm not the only scammed one, they said. What a shame.

    My family. My 3 babies, their dad & I. We are a herd that stays together. Our bond can never be broken

    Love Union so much! It is like a family union here! Tristan is the best and always does such beautiful work. His touch is so good. Lines are always so clean. And my tattoos always heal so perfectly & fast. Love, love, love!

    Brad H.

    Great experience! I wanted a SOLID AND BOLD traditional tattoo and Cody was the right artist. I already had the basic design and they got me in super quick! Will be done in 2 sessions but I'm super happy so far. Clean and welcoming. Wish they used saniderm but it's not a deal breaker.

    Amratpal S.

    Anthony's tattoo artistry is unmatched, and staff's professionalism is outstanding. The place is impeccably clean, creating the perfect atmosphere for a memorable tattoo experience.

    Ladies if you want the best in the business at a quality beauty bar look no further! Owner and…read morebrow artist Cassi Uecker is amazing! She is kind, sweet, professional and a true genius in her craft to create the most gorgeous, well-shaped and perfectly colored brows you've ever imagined. She is very meticulous during her process and is constantly ensuring you know what's going on. Cassi also wants you to feel comfortable so she is consistently asking if you are need anything during your time at her establishment. The staff are also extremely friendly and helpful. The atmosphere of this beauty bar will blow you away and you won't even believe you're in Manteca. It feels like you are in a little upscale boho salon in the Bay Area. I could not be happier with my decision to get micro bladed by Cassi. The process was so fluid and utterly painless! The results were beyond my wildest expectations and I encourage you to have a consultation with her if you're considering brows! Also, I encourage you to check out the other ladies that work there for facials, waxing and much more!
