Made an appointment on line for my daughter's 18th bday & there was promotion for $18 service fee per piercing so that was helpful. The day of the piercing the wait time was at least 20 min. After our appt.time. If I had to pay the meter for parking, we would definitely had to add more money & time. The front desk staff were informative & helpful when showing me all the options of earrings to choose from. As far as the service, the Accredited Piercer (Marina Muller) starts to disinfect the ear & mark the ear. There was a little confusion from Marina bc for the on-line sign up form it asks what service you want done & which ear. Marina forgot to ask & confirm w/my daughter which ear she wanted pierced. As soon as this was cleared up, the process went very smoothly. As far as the price, it was a birthday piercing special for $18 each service & my daughter decided on 2 piercings. The earrings were an additional fee. The store is well kept, neat & the customer service was good, just be attentive to the actual piercings when the credited piercer does the work.

Amazing service , we did walk in waited around 20 minutes.. my daughter got her septum..

I absolutely adore Industrial! This tattoo and piercing establishment is always so welcoming and community oriented. It is super close to UC Berkeley and so parking can be a bit rough, however BArT or bus stops are quite close for accessibility. I highly recommend booking an appointment as this shop is often busy, but also check with them if they are taking walk-ins and how long that wait might be if you are close by. Nash is incredible and they have always made me feel super comfortable when piercing me. They did both my nostrils, helix, and my latest piercing vertical labret. Very grateful to them and their professional nature and kindness. Highly recommend this place for quality care and piercings!

I sat with Kahiau who did an awesome job! I have not sat with any of the other artist, but can recommend Kahiau. Looking forward to going back! Everything was clean, everyone was super friendly and wasn't overpriced! Parking is available near by also.

Great job reinserting my daughter's piercings. She had to remove them for surgery. Once she was taken back they cleaned her jewelry and had them back in, in about 10 minutes. Be sure to make an appointment.

Flat piercing
Ada F.

Anwyn was an amazing piercer! I originally wanted to get a rook piercing but with her professional expertise, she hesitated with my ear anatomy. Instead she recommended an alternative of getting a flat or tragus, and I chose the flat! She sanitized the earring inside a machine and in the meantime she explained the process of piercing calmly and confidently. I took a deep breathe in with my nose and when I breathed out through my mouth, she pierced my cartilage and it wasn't even painful! She was also so kind to notice that my conch earring was not threaded completely correctly (I had replaced it earlier that morning) so she threaded it in for me. She provided me a bobby pin so my hair wouldn't rub up on my new piercing. There wasn't a complimentary after care package but I still had some from my conch so no worries. The earring was quite affordable, only $45 and the flat piercing was $30!

I've had a couple of tattoos with kahi and they're both gorgeous. He works primarily on non-color and the shading gets comments all the time! I've also gotten a few piercings from marina here too, and she's really personable and ethical about what piercings she'll do (eg bc I wear hearing aids certain ear piercings won't work and it's great that she'll level with you!) Definitely recommend both of these guys!

The day I got my piercing it looks pretty nice and she did a great job. My objective was to go for 2Pac style kind of nose piercing.

Ask the Community - Industrial Tattoo

Are they currently doing nose piercings?

Yes they are!

Hi, is this establishment open for tattoos and piercings at the moment? Thanks in advance!

Yes, but it's by appointment only & if you want to do face piercings that go under the mask you have to prove vaccination or negative COVID test. You can easily make an appointment via their website.

Are they open right now :o?

We are now open for retail only :)

How much is the cheapest nose piercing jewelry avaialable?

You can, but we are very strict about what we will pierce with. It needs to be the right size, the right length, and the right material. Usually we don’t pierce with most… 

Hi! What's your price for a forward helix?

The piercing is $30 plus jewelry which starts at $35 and goes based on what you choose :)

What's the minimum age for a nostril piercing?

Minimum age for piercing with consent from parent/guardian is 16 - they have to be present for said piercing.

How much is it to downsize my tongue jewelry? and does the fact that i got this done somewhere else affect the price? also, is it okay to bring outside jewelry as long as it's just to get it changed and not get pierced with it?

How much for a tongue piercing?

$35 plus jewelry, the standard jewelry is 35. So 70 plus tax:)

I'm a minor , do I need my parent to come with me or is any adult ok as long as I have my birth certificate?

Yes you still need a parent to be present:)

How much for a nose stud change?

$5 for the change plus the cost of jewelry

Want to come in next Saturday to get my daith pierced, do I need to make an appointment?

No appointment needed when I got my rook pierced. I just popped by the store.

Is this place clean and good to take a 14 Month old?

We are clean, but we don’t pierce kids under 5. I’d try cold steel in Sf

Do you do stick and poke?

I would call the shop and ask for Steph, I believe she does.

Hi! I'm looking to get my navel pierced, and I'm very nervous about getting an infection. Wondering if any has gotten one from here?

Not navel piercing, but I have got ear piercing and nose piercing from here. Its just the best. You can ask as many questions and they take you through the process and what all they will be using. I recommened it.

This review is for a tattoo done by Faye who works out of Magnetic Arts! I found Faye through…read moreInstagram because she had Pokemon flash pieces and I had been wanting one of Psyduck for awhile. I reached out with this idea and heard back within a day. I really liked how excited Faye was to do this piece and she had a sketch ready for me a couple days before my appointment. Parking is a little tricky at Magnetic Arts but there was plenty of information on their site to prepare me. I was lucky enough to get free (!) parking right across the street so it wasn't a problem. We discussed placement for a little bit and Faye was open to different sizes and placements, borders, etc. So she was really accommodating to seeing where I'd like my tattoo best. The tattoo itself was so quick and so well done! With the second skin bandage, I had no issues with healing. I also don't require touch ups but I know Faye would squeeze me in if needed. Thank you Faye! I'll be back :)

I found Ally on Instagram and booked an appointment for a coverup tattoo about a month in advance…read more I sent her a picture of my original tattoo and the reference I had drawn to be the coverup. Days leading up to it, I was still very worried because I hadn't seen her sketch yet. The day beforehand, she sent me her sketch and I adjusted it to my liking. The next day was my appointment and I had to call her since the building was kind of hard to find. The studio was very clean and professional. I had never had a professional studio tattoo prior to this visit and I was a little worried about the pain especially because of the stipple shading. Ally had a super light hand and the outline was completely fine, and after the pain spray it was basically numb. Another concern was the healing process and I did notice little black flakes coming off and I was a little worried. After a couple weeks, fully healed, the tattoo looks as good as it was when it was freshly done. The session took less than two hours and I think the price was reasonable. Definitely appreciate Ally being my first studio tattoo experience! Thanks again :-)

Arie was amazing to work with!…read more I reached out to her via email for a custom design and everything went really smoothly. I sent her lots of reference images and the tattoo she created was exactly what I wanted. Her communication was consistent and she got back to me quickly whenever I had questions. I wanted a fine line design with some ornamental touches and I'm so happy with my result. The studio is very welcoming, clean and comfortable. My tattoo was pretty large for my first one, but I felt fine the entire time and Arie checked on me consistently. Applying the stencil took time, but I'm grateful for that because the placement was exactly what I wanted. We ended up going bigger day of and seeing the piece on my body with a stencil was super helpful in getting it right. I really appreciated Arie's calm demeanor & attention to detail! I get so many compliments on my tattoo, and I'm already planning to come back for more. The healing process was a breeze and my skin was never irritated, even immediately after my tattoo was completed. Highly recommend working with Arie and visiting O Tattoo if you're looking for a beautiful piece, that's done by a qualified, artistic professional.

I would definitely recommend checking out KG and the other artists here, they will not disappoint!

Sean was referred to me by my sister since our two other friends have gone to him for their tattoos, so I already felt comfortable going to him. Made an appointment through email, sent different pictures of what I wanted, and he was easy to communicate with.

He made good conversation throughout the entire process, which distracted me from the light pain from the tattoos. For both arms, he said it was a minimum of $80! Such a good price for two tats so I decided to tip him graciously. Highly recommend this place if you want your first tattoo experience to be comfortable.

Sean made the whole process so comfortable and talking with him was like talking to an old friend. He is such a great guy and talented artist. I will be returning and recommending Sean and FTW to everyone!

I can't wear my wedding ring because I've had multiple surgeries and having any jewelry on agitates my skin. We had been wanting to do it for a while so called around to see if anywhere had walk ins available. I called Tattoo 13's sister shop and they directed me there. The person that answered the phone said if I could get there soon they could take me so we went right there and were the first people in. They took us immediately and people started coming in pretty quickly afterwards. Definitely a fast paced shop that gets lots of foot traffic so adjust your expectations if you think you're gonna get right in. We got Nino (@zappyzip on Instagram) and he was really great at being straight with us about what will and won't look good on a finger. We both have tattoos but these were our first finger tattoos so we didn't really know what was realistic. My husband wanted to get the entire date in Roman numerals and Nino very gentle told him that would not be a good idea cause it's just too much writing and that we should keep it simple. He was totally right and we were so happy with how they turned out. Shop was very clean, friendly and professional. I read reviews before coming and could kinda tell the general attitude of the negative reviewers and I'm sure if you come in here and act like a tool or are rude they might get a little spicy with you but honestly everyone here was so nice and talented. Next time we are in the area we are definitely gonna try and book in advance with Nino!
