Was looking for my 5yo daughters first piercing and went with Jingles due to having multiple…read morereviews in dealing with young kids. Called ahead the day before to check his availability and make sure he was ready for a kid and he was friendly and said he was available anytime so to roll in when we were ready. When we got there the next day he met us at the front and was super friendly and immediately made my daughter (and son who tagged along) feel comfortable. We did the quick paperwork thing but it was super streamlined and an easy process. My wife even decided to sneak in another piercing and he was super cool about it and didn't hesitate to do both of them. His patience and professionalism were both top notch for my wife he took the time to show her a couple different ways hers could be done and didn't rush her on a decision. My daughter went next and though it was just a traditional lobe he took his time marking the dot and even double checked the symmetry with calipers (he nailed it first shot) he was up front yet comforting at the same time walking her through the process and had everything ready to go and efficiently knocked out both earrings quick and painless. Jingles is definitely our go to guy for my wife's next piercings and my daughters next ones ( in 10 or so years) and also our go to recommendation from here forward. His prices were extremely fair so please trust me, spend the few extra dollars and ditch Claire's and go to a professional!! Side note all the artists at Paragon had some great work posted so I will be definitely checking them out for my next tattoo.

Please read this anyone considering going here: Upon meeting this guy he already had a poor…read moreattitude . Im very sure it has something to do with race. I came in based off the "Good" reviews only to come in and meet a guy with a tone and bad vibe. Mind you I also called before driving 30 minutes to this "reputable" piercer. He gave me a quote, stated he had multiple "styles" of jewelry I asked about and when I arrived there- the jewelry I asked for- he didnt even have.. Wtf! Then had an attitude about it, didnt apologize for wasting my time nor tried to offer anything else to help the fact I drove over for piercings he knew he couldn't provide.. He didnt care at all. All he had to say was well bring the jewelry yourself- which was pretty unprofessional. Although he stated he had what I needed on the phone. Either way, I definitely don't recommend this guy if you're a minority. He's only "nice" to the people who look like himself if you understand what I mean :) -3/10 surely He will try to change his behavior towards customers after someone leaves a review about it.

The shop is also beautiful by the way so it adds to the experience.

Came here on Friday the 13th and got my second piercing on my left ear and a conch piercing! It was…read morea very fast and easy process. When I went inside, the guy in the front told me to fill out a form and tell him what piercings I wanted. Since it was Friday the 13th, each piercing on the ears were $20, so it was a really good deal. Right after signing the paper and everything, I waited for about 15 minutes and got called in. The lady that did my piercing was amazing. Her name is Josie and she was the sweetest and such a caring person. She gave me a starburst and a ball to hold since I was nervous. When it was time to get my ears pierced, she told me to breathe in and breathe out. Easy process and within 3 seconds I got my ears pierced. I guess the only downside was her not explaining to me the procedure on what I should do during the healing process since I had to ask , but I understand that she had a long day since there were many clients! Overall, such a great experience and I would definitely come again for another piercing and possibly a tattoo in the future!

Steven Gonzalez of Artistryy Tattoos/ Mo Val Inked in Moreno Valley, CA is a liar and a thief…read more I came to Steven with a custom back design I drew myself. He praised the artwork, even called over another artist to admire it, and quoted me $800. I explained that I had hired a previous artist who had butchered my vision by swapping my original work with generic clip art, and I wanted someone who would honor what I had drawn. He seemed very excited to do the work, and said he loved my design. Steven assured me he would do it right. He promised to provide finished digital lineart two weeks before the appointment so I'd have time for revisions if needed. I booked two months in advance and paid a $100 deposit. Two weeks out--no lineart, so I messaged him to ask for it. One week out--he sent a tiny, half-assed sketch made of--you guessed it--more fn clip art! I waited. Another small fragment came in several days later. Sloppy, generic, and clearly nothing like my design. My original drawings, including two of my pets, were reduced to cookie-cutter garbage. I was losing sleep over the stress. I really wanted this piece to be done correctly. Still, I tried to trust him. His portfolio on Instagram was gorgeous, so I wanted to believe in him. The day before the appointment--still no full lineart. I asked to reschedule when he had time to do as he had promised: provide lineart I could approve of or request changes to before the appointment. He gaslit me and insisted that his other clients trusted him. I explained my concern and said I wasn't comfortable getting inked without seeing a complete draft, especially after my previous experience. Which he KNEW. He told me to come in anyway. He said I could at least try on a stencil. When I arrived, he was scrambling to slap something together on his iPad at the last moment. Not the whole thing, again, just one element of it. What he printed wasn't even close to my design. He took an elegant, feminine design and turned it into a back alley biker tattoo. It was thick, coarse, and ugly. When I politely told him this wasn't even close what I wanted, he said, "I'm not the artist for you," and then refused to refund my deposit. He immediately blocked me on Instagram and updated his bio to say deposits are non-refundable. Let's be clear: I didn't flake on the appointment--he did. He had two months to deliver on his promise. He lied, stalled, copied cheap clip art, and gaslit me to guilt me into coming in, wasting my time as I had to clear the entire day for nothing. He took my money, but did no real work. It felt like it might be his MO: take your deposit, string you along, ignore your design, and his own promises, and deliver garbage he knows you'll reject so he can pocket your money without lifting a finger. My husband said it seemed like a scam, and I agree. Steven Gonzalez is not a professional--he's a liar, and a thief. I now have serious doubts as to whether any of the art on his Instagram is even his. If he'll steal money, he'll steal credit too. Avoid this shop at all costs. Don't trust Steven with your time, your money, or your skin. Big mistake. Enjoy your $100 review, Steven!

Within days, I got a call saying it had arrived and I could come in! I made an appointment through their website for today, showed up a bit early, and was seen super quickly :) Itzell (I'm so sorry if I'm spelling her name wrong ) was sooo sweet and super informative! She made me feel so comfortable and talked me through the whole process so I knew what she was doing. She did an absolutely beautiful job with my helix and flat, and I'm already looking forward to coming back soon to get more piercings Plus it's a women's owned business!

I was really excited to take my daughter here because it's a woman-owned business, and I wanted to…read moresupport them. When we arrived, there was a sign saying they were out for lunch. We ended up walking around until they reopened. I do wish their lunch hours were posted on the website so customers could plan accordingly. My daughter was simply getting two of her earrings downsized. The charge was $10 per earring, plus an additional $15 for a new backing, bringing the total to $52 with tax. As I was checking out, the receptionist informed me that there would be an extra $5 charge for using my debit card, so I would recommend bringing cash. I asked whether this fee was mentioned on their website, and she said it was not. When they downsized my daughter's hidden helix piercing, the bar was still too long. The piercer explained that the ear was swollen and that she couldn't push the earring back any farther. While I understand that swelling can affect the fit, I was hoping for a better overall experience. I truly wanted to support this business, but between the unexpected closures, undisclosed card fee, and leaving with a bar that still seems too long, the experience fell short of my expectations.

She was raving about Alyssa and her work with nano brows, which she said is far better than microblading. Then I read all her highly rated reviews and followed her instagram for months before finally making the decision to do it. I cannot say enough good things about my experience. Alyssa is an absolute gem and amazing at what she does. She felt that I was nervous being its my first time and she immediately put my mind at ease. It never seemed like she was rushing through the appointment. She was very thorough in explaining each step in the process and answering all the questions I had. From the moment I walked in, I loved how clean and comfortable her place was. She makes you feel very relaxed by putting a wedge pillow under your legs and providing a warm blanket. She was so patient with me during the outlining in making sure I loved the shape and look. Alyssa is very skilled at her craft, she studies the shape of your brows, how it fits your face, works with you every step of the way to perfect the look, and then delivers the final result even better than you could've imagined. I am so pleased with how they came out I couldnt stop staring since they looked so natural. I've recommended all my girls to Alyssa and confident that she'll take care of them. The process was seamless and she walked me through the phases of recovery that I would go through as they heal so I knew exactly what to expect. Now makeup in the morning is a breeze and I have brows that slay all day. Thank you Alyssa xoxo

Environment: sterile and clean, duh Ambiance: mega chill, duh Vibes: immaculate, duh Service: amazing, duh 10/10 effortless artist, 10/10 tattoo-er, 10/10 business owner, I'm pretty sure a 10/10 husband/dad, & def 10/10 human being. Whatever you get, it will be the sickest work you'll EVER get on yourself. Anything you want or need - he'll nail it even better than you could ever imagine! Mike did my first tattoo back in 2022, and I've been going to him ever since. I will forever refer anyone to him who asks for recs . I was going through a very hard time in my life and basically embarrassingly spiraled in his shop during a consult for a back piece that I was unsure of. He is so patient, kind, considerate, humble, and such a safe space dude. There was NEVER any pressure, no negative energy/vibes, not EVER pushy or "sales"-y or do something other than you asked for because he "feels like it" or thinks "it would look better this way." He wants to make sure you're happy before proceeding with anything. Final boss of professionalism. All of my tattoos are from what my late Dad had, but I made each one my own in a traditional style and Mike has helped me bring the last pieces to life every time, every session. I'm truly grateful to have met him and greatly appreciate the person he is. May all tattoo artists take a page out of Mike's book and be like him. If you're hesitating on getting another one or if it's your first one- DO IT. GET IT DONE BY MIKE! K TYVM BYE!

All of Elizabeth St has good vibes, but this is about my experience with Darla specifically. Besides just being the absolute sweetest human, Darla was so accommodating for me.

Darla has gone above and beyond in my experience, she's truly such a professional, I cannot recommend her more!

One thing I especially appreciated was that all work was done in private stalls. I much prefer that level of privacy rather than having an audience. I came in with concerns about a piercing that was not healing properly after being done at another establishment. The staff took the time to listen carefully, answer my questions, and address my concerns without making me feel rushed. They also have a large selection of quality jewelry to choose from, and their prices were very reasonable. Once I selected my earring, the staff carefully sanitized everything and properly prepared the jewelry before insertion. The entire process was clean, professional, and efficient. I was in and out quickly, but I never felt rushed. The staff provided excellent customer service from start to finish. I highly recommend Mission Tattoo & Piercing to anyone looking for a safe, professional, and comfortable piercing experience.
