This is my absolute favorite shop of all time for piercings! I've gotten 4 done over the past couple of years by two different people there and they've all healed beautifully and so easy. Everyone here is very knowledgeable, makes sure your questions are all answered, and you're comfortable. read more

Best experience ever! Got a nose piercing for my 60th and the owner was kind, patient, and explained every part of the process and what he was going to do before he did it. I'm so glad I chose to go to Ghost Town and certainly recommend! read more

This place came recommended from a good friend of mine as a trustworthy place to get quality jewelry. We went today and had the best experience. I chatted with Mich while our jewelry was being sanitized. I'm not one to leave reviews but I came by to say, absolutely give them your business! read more

Ghost Town Body Art - Nose piercing - Piercing Near Me - Vallejo, California

I got 4 piercings here around two years ago, they all grew a keloid except for one. The other 4 piercings I have from other shops never grew a keloid or got infected. I followed proper care etc, so I'm not sure what was different this time. The piercings took pretty long to heal, and when they did, they just grew keloids. read more

I had a very poor experience by thinking I could take my kid in to get her ears pierced. I waited in the lobby to be assisted by anybody working there, and to my surprise there was two gentlemen that I didn't know worked in there who were smoking up marijuana fest on the sidewalk. They came in reeking like weed smoke I change my mind instantly and walked out with my child. There was no way I was gonna let anyone that's impaired, pierce my child's ears. It's a bad look to run a business you may encounter minors with their parents coming in contact with you while you're stoned out. I definitely would not support this business or encourage anyone with children to walk in there and have any trust in getting piercings or tattoos by people that are under the influence of Mary J. Most recently we were invited to dinner at the place next to them, and again encountered One of the two same individuals that works at the piercing shop smoking and choking on his joint . I didn't even wanna walk past them on the sidewalk because it was such a despicable and I surely didn't want my children to have that encounter with that smoke either. Unless you approve of this type of lifestyle and you're OK with somebody being high doing this type of stuff and a shop like this, it would be your choice, but not mine. read more

I've got A-LOT of piercings; so I'm just gonna do a general review for anyone shopping around for the right artist. All the piercings I've gotten here were done right. They healed quickly, they've lasted and they were affordable. Both of the piercing artists (Mitch and Irais) are experienced, kind, super professional and their knowledge base is INCREDIBLE. I can't speak to Ghost Towns current ink slingers-- I've not gotten one here, in some time-- but one of my favorite pieces was done here. They make you feel so freaking comfortable-- EVEN when you're a pain in the ass like me lol. They're both SO patient and passionate about what they do! They're literally THE BEST. I have been getting body art done since I was 16 years old (SMDH--I'm almost 40 now). I have been to ink and piercing studios all over the world, but most of it done here in the Bay Area. ALOT of studios are way more interested in how many people go thru the turnstile versus ensuring a lasting and safe piercing for YOU. More importantly -- Ghost Town will not do something just for the money. If these people TELL YOU-- "No this isn't a good idea" OR "Just wait this amount of time for this or that." Or "do this instead of that." LISTEN TO THEM! They truly want to send you home with a clean, lasting piercing that you'll love. Plus if you get a piercing that requires anything past initial jewelry change, like stretching and etc they're great with follow up! If they advise you to not do something, don't walk out pissy and go it somewhere else that will do it where you'll likely get infected and know regret. Case in point; I had a friend who fell in love with my dimple piercings and wanted them for herself . I sent her down to see these guys. For whatever reason one of the artists informed her she needed to wait. She didn't. She got the piercings elsewhere. Shocker-- they got SUPER SUPER infected--BOTH SIDES. If she would have just listened she would've saved herself a shit ton of pain, scarring and overall, musty ass regret. Your takeaway from this review -- If you're getting your 25th or 1st piercing this place is where to go. read more

I brought my 2 teenage daughters here to get their nose and ear pierced, Mich made them feel comfortable and he's very accomodating! He's very knowledgeable with what he's doing and really good at sharing some information regarding what earrings to pick , after care and some sorts to both my daughters.. Right when we walked out his shop, both my daughters were really impressed by him. And got nothing but ALL GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT MICH. they thought coming to a body/tattoo art shop would be so intimidating but they left with good impression and both happy they got pierced from their shop instead of the mall. They will be recommending him to their friends! Thanks Mich!! read more

Called today at 415pm and spoke with a gentleman asking if I can make an appointment at 615 to get my wife's nose pierced for her birthday. The gentleman said we do piercings from 2-6 but he can make an exception because 615 isn't too bad. Was told its 60$ for the piercing and to bring cash. I thanked the gentleman and asked if i needed to leave a name and number but he said no its fine we'll see you here. It's 605 and we come to a CLOSED shop. A gentleman opens the door and says we're closed and I tell him we made an appointment for 615 and he says "you must have heard wrong." Wooow blows my mind for someone to say that. I heard wrong? Smh horrible service! I do not recommend! read more

Maddi has pierced my ears plenty times and always makes me smile when I go in. The piercings healed very beautifully and I always like looking at the new jewelry they have. Both mich and maddi always have a positive vibe and always make sure I'm comfortable when I'm about to get pierced. read more

This is my all time number one pick for all my piercings. I have gotten my navel and recently my rook pierced with Iraís. She was very thorough in explaining what she was doing as well as the healing process. She seemed very knowledgeable and professional.The shop was very clean and followed covid safety procedures. Mitch was very friendly as well as the rest of the staff. I would highly recommend others to get pierced here as it is very clean and professional all together. I can't wait to get my future piercings done here! read more

Very Friendly and accommodating staffs. Cheap price for a piercing. Mich did mine and my friends! He gave some suggestions too on what's the best for you :) read more

Ghost Town Body Art - Rook Piercing - Piercing Near Me - Vallejo, California

I've gotten a septum piercing from Irais and she was amazing! I know it's different for everyone but it didn't hurt at all, healed perfectly. She explained everything along the way and was really informative and nice. She's also done a nostril piercing for my mom and she was great then too. Recently my oldest wanted a septum and my youngest wanted an ear piercing so we went in and Mich did theirs. He was seriously wonderful with both of them. He was so helpful in explaining the process to them since they were nervous, he was very encouraging, patient, and also hilarious which helped put them at ease. He explained everything as it was happening so they were aware every step of the way. 10/10 would recommend them. read more

Mitch walked my daughter through 4 piercings for her 14th birthday. He was kind, considerate, clear, professional, and even philosophical reminding her that she earned these piercings through learning a language in a dual immersion program and to consider that when noticing or when cleaning them and to use the language in daily life. He also mentioned being grateful for times when we have what we want when she expressed so much excitement when they were complete and of course now wants more piercings. I loved the shop really standard and had the machine with the needles and jewelry going for a cycle while we filled out paper work after picking out jewelry. Wanted to say anyone who bashed this shop in a post is just a hater. This is a REPUTABLE spot piercers and tattooers do what they do because they love it and are inspired to live a certain way! That's why you go to them ! Have fun. and call Mitch ! read more

Another piercing by Irais I love my helix! I moved away from California so every time I'm in town I try and get my piercing fix with her lol. read more

Got my piercing appointment by irais today Friday the 13th came in did paperwork and went back. She was very nice and showed me where she thought my nose piercing would look best. I approved and she explained what was going to happen and to take deep breaths. It was fast and easy. I did get upgraded jewelry. She explained how to maintain it and will be returning to get resized in a couple weeks. Definitely recommend her she was fast, friendly and great work. They are also taking safety precautions right now with covid read more

AMAZING! I went to get my daughter's,10 years old, ears pierced. Mich, was so great talking to my daughter, explaining what was gonna happened. She was definitely nervous but he was so great. She picked her earrings and (I forgot the actual name) shock the metal to change it a certain color. It was so cool, she loves them. This was right after the shut down during COVID was lifted so the appointments we far and in between for safety but that's okay of course. Very clean, sanitized and SO professional! We'll definitely come back to buy more earrings! Thank you again!! Cons? More expensive then Claires but of course WORTH IT! read more

If you like trash work and want to be treated in a racist manner (if you are black that is) then stop by! If you want quality and to be treated decent, this is not the parlor for you. read more

Honestly I can't say enough good things about my experience here. My friend and I booked an appointment today and Mich was our piercer. Everything was very clean, he changed his gloves several times and also sanitized everything several times over. I got a nose piercing and he placed it perfectly and also boosted my self esteem about changing it to a ring at some point. Clean environment, chill vibes, an experience I can't wait to go back for more! read more

Ghost Town Body Art - Piercing Near Me - Vallejo, California

I went to buy some replacement jewelry and worked with Irais, who explained my options. I also met Mitch, the owner, who was very informative. This place does piercings only which I was what I needed. Going to hybrid shops (tattoo & piercings) has been hit and miss when replacing my body jewelry, so this place is perfect. I also appreciate that it is a small business. I will be back. read more

I would only go there cuz Mitch genuinely is a people watcher..showing interest and gives feedback. He has never said no to off the wall piercing ideas as long as it looks pleasing. Thus, I'm pleased with the buttocks piercing I got..wishing they have wider selection of jewels tho!! read more

Ghost Town Body Art - Buttocks Piercing - Piercing Near Me - Vallejo, California

I got my tattoo done by Anizza cause i found her art on Instagram and had been following her ever since. While I was waiting, Mitch put in a new daith anatometal horseshoe ring for me. He was really great at communicating with me while he was changing out my jewelry (he was always wearing gloves). Really clean and courteous. I know how hard daiths are to change out and he did it pretty effortlessly. I would come back to get more of my jewelry changed out. They have a rad collection of jewelry for just about every piercing. I got some of Anizza's flash work done and couldn't be happier :^) She's adorable and all her art is just A1 - I will be back for more! read more

Irais is very knowledgeable and clean when it comes to her piercings. She takes the extra time to make sure placement is perfect and exactly how you want it. read more

Ghost Town Body Art - Belly button piercing! Love how it came out. - Piercing Near Me - Vallejo, California

I love this place. Every time I come here, there is always someone to help you and educate you about different piercings and jewelry. They also do tattoos, but I don't have one or don't know anyone that has gotten one here, so I can't say anything on that part. Mitch pierced my daith and also cleaned out my tragus piercing and put in new jewel. Everything is sanitized and the jewelry is top quality. Mitch let's you know every step he's going to take and calms your nerves as well with his laid back personality! They also have special sales such as $13 piercings on every Friday the 13th, discounts for students, and others which they announce on their Instagram! Overall: It may not be the prettiest place, but the customer service, quality of their work, and how close it is to my home - will make me a forever customer! read more

I love this shop ! Recently got my septum pierced by Irais and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She was very professional , had a good vibe & even though a few people came in to get pierced right after I walked in she was very quick with the whole process . Clean , friendly , professional , & proficient in what she does ! Definitely coming back for more read more

Irais is amazing! She pierced my nose and it turned out so cute. She made me feel comfortable and she's very down to earth. Thank you again Irais read more

Irais recently pierced my nose and lower lobes. She was amazing, so friendly and professional. I accidentally removed my nose piercing with my nails while itching my nose and she was so nice to get me in ASAP to put it back in. Everyone here is so nice and I already have plans to come back to get a second conch and a few others! Definitely recommend both Irais and Mich!! read more

I got my conch pierced here a couple weeks ago. She helped me pick which jewelry would be best for me. I'll be going back soon to get a shorter bar now that my swelling is down and to get my nose pierced. read more

My first piercing experience and it was great! The man who did the piercing took the time to make sure I understood what was happening at every moment so I wouldn't be surprised. He answered all of my questions and then some! I'll definitely come back once I'm ready for another piercing read more

The staff is great, and I've had nothing but good things to say with the actual piercings. But the hours are never accurate and every time I try to come get pierced no one is in the shop, it's closed and no one will answer the phone. It's very frustrating when they say walk-ins are welcome from a specific time but no one is there to tend to the customers. read more

Took my 17 y/o here for a septum piercing. Mich was amazing. This was also back in June/July maybe? Anyway, the place was clean and empty. Mich made sure to tell her exactly everything he was going to do and made sure to explain everything. He sterilized between clients and made sure everything was clean. He was so professional, she can't wait to have him do the rest of her piercings. He made us feel at ease from the beginning. Will def be coming back here. read more

Mitch walked me through every step of the process in getting my nose pierced. From the minute I walked through the door, he was attentive, kind, and very knowledgeable. Made the experience that much easier! read more

I got my nipples pierced by Irais and she was great. I had them done years before with another piercer at another shop and she was soooo much better. She explained everything about the procedure and after care in detail and made sure i was comfortable. She didn't rush and took her time to make sure everything was in order before starting. I will definitely come back to her for any other piercings I get and tell my friends! read more

Octavio se rifoooo! He did me a demon rat and humane heart with plants and now a hella realistic blue rose. I'm so stoked. Thank you Octavio! read more

I wrote a review for DV8 Tattoo that was meant for Ghost Town when I had my first piece done over summer. I came in on the 10th to get my 2nd piece done by the EVER-AMAZING, Chac! The vibe in this shop is amazing & Chac is a very talented artist. I gave him an idea I took from good 'ol Google for my leg piece & he made it my own & dare I say it, made it EVEN BETTER than the original picture. He made not only myself comfortable for the 5 hour session but my cousin who accompanied me. He put on Edge of Tomorrow & Guardians of the Galaxy on the TV in his station. He is an amazing artist & I cannot stress how talented he is. I recommend you go to him because he is for sure, the only artist I would go to, moving forward :) For my last review under DV8, I said I have found my tattoo artist in the Bay & it is so true! Here is a vlog of my whole tattoo experience: http://youtu.be/cxQkAro-MM0 read more

This is a long overdue review. Last year of May, I got my first tattoo done by Anizza. My then boyfriend, now husband also got his 5th tattoo done by her. We communicated through email about the tattoos that we both wanted and the day of our appointment, she showed us the sketches. I was so in love with the sketch and even more obsessed and in love after she finished tattooing on me. At the time she was still an apprentice but her work is amazing. Sadly, Anizza is no longer at Ghost Town. I've been waiting patiently for her to come back but it's sooo hard when you have tattoo fever. I recently went to their Friday the 13th promotion because my sister in law wanted her nipples pierced. Irais was so thorough and neat during the piercing process. Irais made me wish I could go back in time and get mine done there as well. I also got a rose tattoo done by Octavio on the day of their Friday the 13th promo. I couldn't decide between a broken mirror or a rose but eventually​ chose the rose because I had actually been wanted a rose. It turned out so well. I'm so in love. I got a lot of comments from my friends asking me where I got it done. I would highly recommend this shop for both piercings and tattoos. read more

Very friendly atmosphere. My mom and I went in to get piercings by Irais. I got my nostril, and my mom got her daith. Irais is SO professional. She's extremely clean, friendly, patient and really knows what she is doing. It's been 2 weeks and both our piercings are healing extremely well! I had my nose pierced before by someone else, and I had to close it due to infections, and placement not being were I wanted. This time around with Irais I am so shocked at how well it is doing. Seems like it's already fully healed! Very happy with her work. 100% recommend. Mitch was in the shop while we were there as well and he was very friendly. Love this shop. read more

Went in, and had some work done by Beth Hood, a rather large solid black piece on my leg. all i can say is - GREAT WORK and THANK YOU! She nailed it. She took extra care to get it placed right (straight edges on a curved surface), and her skill showed itself in the final outcome. Thanks again Beth! will be back! read more
