Styling and piercing by the best of the best - Manny!!

I'm so excited to leave this review! I have been getting pierced by the amazing Manny since 2024 and every time we work together, I have such a great experience. Manny gives great advice both for styling and placement and will make sure you leave with a beautiful new piece. He listens to your ideas, works within your budget, and gives fantastic customer service. I always feel so safe, heard, respected, and valued on his chair. The staff is so welcoming and the store is gorgeous. I highly recommend you check out Fiat- you won't regret it!

The best selection and friendliest staff! I couldn't rant and rave about my experience here more. So many elegant rings, bracelets and earrings to choose from! I came in for a permanent jewelry fusing appointment and left with a permanent smile on my face. Be sure to come check out their golden goodies because I'm in love!

i started getting pierced here about 5 years ago. initially came bc i was looking for legit jewelry then found the talent once i walked in. there is seriously no better place to get pierced in the bay area and their jewelry selection is elite. i love that i can get pierced with a stunning piece and not be itching to swap it out to something "better". i've been working exclusively with manny since we met a few years ago at a different studio and thankfully found him again here. i have also had great experiences w all the other staff. manny is the MAN. we have the best time working together and let me assure you he UNDERSTANDSTHEASSIGNMENT. he always has the dopest suggestions and executes them flawlessly every time. i've brought several friends here and they love him/this place too. bonus that the shops are in awesome locations so when i drive up from the peninsula to see them i can have a fun city day. vibes are super welcoming and chill to all whether you're a novice to getting pierced or experienced i truly cannot recommend them enough! FIAT 5EVER

Engagement ring

We walked into Fiat Lux randomly on a Saturday after window shopping. We ended up buying an engagement ring for my fiancée from Emily at and I can't say enough good things about the experience. Even though we didn't have an appointment, Emily took so much time and care with us. She was incredibly patient, answered all of our (many!) questions, and made the entire process feel easy and comfortable. Buying a ring can be a bit overwhelming, but Emily truly made it seamless. My partner is over the moon about her ring, and it's an absolute upgrade from what we had in mind initially. We'll definitely be return customers, and highly reccomend coming here for any jewelry needs. Thank you, Emily, for making such an important purchase feel so special! P.s. , the experience here was innnnfinitely better than that new trendy jewelry shop insert-animal-name-animal-name up the street. SHOP LOCAL!

This place is a money scam. They're not upfront about their pricing and charge you after for it. Do not go here. I'm very dissatisfied.

Can I bring my own earrings or do I need to purchase them here?

Hi Allie! We can only pierce with jewelry purchased from us to ensure we can guarantee the quality of what we pierce with. If you have piercing jewelry previously purchased with us, we can pierce with it, but need extra time to sterilize them before…

DO NOT GO HERE FOR PIERCINGS…read more i want to preface this post that jake is not apart of the association of professional piercers (app) which should be the first red flag. since there are not a lot of regulations regarding piercings, i would suggest only going to one that is apart of the app because of their commitment and dedication to safety and sanitation standards. i am honestly disappointed having to write this review since i had high expectations given the other reviews. i got two piercings and one is healing well. however, the other one is not after getting it pierced nearly a month ago. i went in to have it looked at and the interaction was very unpleasant, giving me a reason to write this review. his first comment was "do you know how long it takes to heal" after asking if he would take a look at it. he then was gaslighting me saying i wasn't cleaning it and he would give me an aftercare sheet. he THEN proceeded to back out so quickly and said i needed to go to a doctor and he's just a piercer and it's unethical to give me medical advice LOL. he did not even try to help remedy my piercing at all. anyways i went to another piercer to get a second opinion and all that was needed was the correct jewelry for my anatomy. there was no infection, it was simply irritated. jake actin like i got some disease for real. disgusted by jake's customer service and unprofessional behavior given HE WAS THE ONE WHO PIERCED IT.

I got my first ear piercings at age 8 with a gun at the mall. I am decades from that day now. My…read morefirst lobe piercings have stretched with wear and time to the point that almost any earring looks like it will rip out of my earlobe. I arranged a consult with Ben, who asked detailed questions, assessed my current stack and suggested I had enough lobe health to do a piercing stacked on top of my first piercing. This will allow me to wear studs together or to wear a statement earring in the new hole without the issue of more stretching. He recommended jewelry options based on my style, then brought me back to do the piercing same-day (it was a Monday morning, so the store wasn't busy). He was meticulous in the setup and talked me through every step of the process. Easy and done. It's been two weeks and my new piercings are healing beautifully and I am already loving the placement and the options it affords me. When worn with earrings in my original first piercings, the two stacked together actually detract from the stretching. Ben is a total pro. If and when I get more piercings I absolutely will ask for him.

Great service! Beautiful Ring with custom engraving. A very nice anniversary gift for my boyfriend.read more

Tyler was fantastic both times we saw him! Sooooo kind and patient with my daughter and her friend…read more We also recommended him to another friend and she had a great experience too. We spent a good chunk more than I budgeted for but it's a real piercing spot, no earring gun in the mall. They take it very seriously, he spent a lot of time lining up her holes and she didn't even feel the needle go through! These earring holes are forever so I'm glad we got them done right. Everyone at Cold Steel is very nice and professional. Highly recommend!

I refuse to get a piercing anywhere else. The staff here are incredibly experienced and prioritize…read moreyour safety rather than trends. They inform you of exactly what they're doing and why and explain why certain preferences you may have could actually harm your health in the long run. I've come here for every single piercing I have and Ive been coming here even before I moved to east bay when I was in LA. One star off because of a few things. The first is a bit disappointing. The staff are generally pretty good but I think the majority of them have a a bit of a chip on their shoulder. Every single time I've visited I feel like I'm being talked down to in some regard. It's not enough for me to dissuade people from coming here but it's the kind of passive aggressive comments that are said with a smile and it unfortunately has caused some discomfort. Like I said though, they're incredible skilled and I would rather deal with a few weird comments than get pierced by sunshine and rainbows but botches my piercing. The one exception is Chris who I've gotten at least two of my piercings from and from now on will specifically request. He is very kind and knowledgeable and when I was getting my nipples pierced he was very professional. I was incredibly nervous and it was still a really painful piercing but I'm glad he was so experienced because I could imagine it being a much more painful process had he not been. He also gave me his business card following my last session and to contact him directly if there was any trouble with the healing or if I had questions. I can't recommend him enough! Wait times can also really vary but most of the time I find myself waiting long even if I have an appointment. They take walk ins but be aware that busy days can mean 40 min waits! The piercings are also pretty expensive -- it's a base price of $50 for service plus the jewelry. My nipple piercings were $260 for both which is on the pricier end. I would still recommend coming here regardless though because they use high quality jewelry and once again, the staff here are very experienced. They have a really wide variety of jewelry to pick from and have a lot of options. I actually overheard a conversation between one of the staff and another customer about how the other shops around Haight didn't have titanium and that it was better than surgical steel and the staff member corrected her that while their shop did have it, it's also misinformation that one is better than the other. Thought that was neat!

The pieces themselves are very body safe, and the designs are cool as heck! I couldn't stop looking at how beautiful everything looked. It's a small shop, so go give them some support!

Extremely disappointing and unprofessional experience. I would NOT recommend Ten Tigers, especially…read morefor parents bringing in an infant. We booked an appointment with Ten Tigers on September 24 for October 3 at 11:20 for our infant's ear piercing. Before booking, I specifically communicated with them through text and was told that I could schedule the appointment through their website. We followed their instructions and booked accordingly. Before our appointment, we also received a text reminding us to complete the minor consent/release form, which we completed online. I uploaded my government-issued ID because the form specifically asked for identification for the parent/guardian. Nowhere during the booking process, in the text conversation, or in the consent form were we clearly informed that we needed to bring an official state-issued ID or certified birth certificate for our infant. When we arrived, we were suddenly told that they required a state/government-issued ID for the baby, along with the guardian's ID. I explained that our infant does not have a government-issued photo ID. They then said a birth certificate or picture of it would work. Unfortunately, we did not have the birth certificate with us. However, I offered multiple forms of official documentation identifying our baby, including Kaiser hospital birth/discharge records showing her name and my name, as well as her Social Security documentation. I even offered to show them a copy of her hospital birth records. They refused everything because they wanted a document with an official state seal. The biggest issue isn't even that they have documentation requirements. The issue is that they failed to communicate those requirements BEFORE our appointment. When I questioned why this information wasn't disclosed on their website or during the booking process, the employee kept giving us different explanations. We were told that minor appointments should apparently be made by phone so they can explain what documents are required, yet we were previously directed to book through their website. None of this was communicated to us beforehand. I was also told that different locations have different policies and that requirements can vary depending on the state or county. If that is the case, those requirements need to be clearly communicated to customers before they drive to the appointment. It is not reasonable to let a parent book an appointment online, complete the required consent form, arrive with their infant, and THEN tell them they were supposed to bring documentation that was never clearly disclosed. We drove to the appointment prepared to follow their requirements based on the information they gave us, only to be turned away because of a requirement that was never properly communicated. What makes this even more frustrating is that their own consent form and website did not make it clear that the infant needed to provide a state-issued document/certified birth certificate. I completed the form they instructed me to complete and brought the documentation I had available for my baby. For a business performing piercings on infants, clear communication and proper preparation should be a priority. Parents should not have to guess what documents to bring or find out about critical requirements after arriving. If they have strict documentation requirements for minors, PUT THEM CLEARLY ON THE WEBSITE, DURING BOOKING, AND IN THE APPOINTMENT CONFIRMATION. Don't waste people's time and then blame the customer for not knowing information that was never provided. Very poor communication, inconsistent information, and an unnecessarily frustrating experience. We will be taking our baby somewhere else. I strongly recommend calling ahead and getting every requirement in writing before booking with Ten Tigers. 1 star because 0 stars isn't an option.
