I came in today to swap some piercings out to adhere with my new job's appearance. Rob was warm and…read morefriendly, and knew exactly what I needed. I asked for surgical steel (what I wear in my ears), and he suggested that titanium is a better choice and slightly safer than surgical steel (not that the latter is bad, just that titanium is a smidge better). I trusted him, since he has been doing this for longer than I've been alive! We went back, I laid in the chair for him to help me take out my (seamless) hoops from my nose, and insert the new jewelry. It was a very comfortable and quick experience! Thank you for helping me!

Got trolled so hard here…read more Called in to ask if they do walk ins and the price for ear piercings and gave the price $70 for piercings and studs and said walk ins are available so we agreed. Came in and I asked questions since I never got a piercing and didn't know the procedure but neither the receptionist nor piercer wasn't feeling it that day. Maybe I just caught them in a bad day but either way got my ears pierced quickly. However when I went to pay with my Apple Pay they said cash only AFTER I got my ears pierced and they never said anything on the phone. I asked if I can pay by credit card or Apple way and they pointed at an ATM that I couldn't withdraw money from (since I had no debit card). So since I only had a credit card and apply pay, I had to give up my drivers license and waste about an hour walking around to and back to a gas station that didn't do cash backs and Walgreens a mile away that I had to purchase twice and had a limit of $40 for cash. So after I walked all the way back in the Modesto summer in dress shoes (since I came from an interview) I asked them how should I pay the difference and showed me I can pay with... ...Venmo. ...and yeah, they just made me walk an hour in the blistering heat when I could've just venmoed them the whole time. It's a shame since the place was pretty cool and had a nice vibe to it. I debated on giving them like 2 or 3 stars cause they pierced my ears well but man walking in that Modesto heat for 1 hour in dress shoes to get cash I wasn't informed or needed was not the best experience. So yeah... TLDR: bring cash.

Only thing was you needed a parent guardian to sign some paperwork for consent or be over 17 I believe? Which I had no problem with. Great place would recommend it! :)

Received a piercing here that immediately got infected and was not what was paid for. Went to speak…read moreto the manager and she took no responsibility or accountability for the issue. Then when showed her the jewelry and images of the infection.. she tried to back track and say that wasn't from the piercing when it's very clear it was. She tried to claim that people don't have reactions from metal. The most Ignorant statement I've ever heard. Couldn't articulate the difference in surgical or implant grade titanium. Hilarious. I would NEVER have anyone get pierced here if they value their health or their money.

Update: Erin has been responding and then deleting his response. Please reffer to the pictures…read more Erin doesn't want to take accountability for his actions and rather blame everyone else. I strongly do not recommend this place especially when he's talking about you. He doesn't have a single nerve to respond to text messages but randomly will text a call logs no one asked for. End of the day Erin sold fake gold Amazon jewelry he refused to refund it I went to Erin for so many piercings, I would even recommend him to other people! However my recent experience was bad. The piercings he did was okay however the professionalism isn't there. He called to tell me about downgrading jewelry then went to talk to me and vent about my friend He sold my friend fake gold, he pierced her wrong and his co worker pierced my friend wrong. When we reached out about our piercings we were left on read. He lacked of communication, and accountability. He sells Amazon quality jewelry pierces with Amazon jewelry, doesn't sanitize the area pierced. I wouldn't recommend this place any longer

Showed them what i was interested in he went and talked to an artist named "Rafael." He drew up a design and it was really good. He took a little bit to make sure his work station was clean and safe. Right before he started the tattoo, he asked if I had any injuries so he could accommodate me so I would be comfortable through out the tattoo. Offered me a water. Rafael is very detailed and made sure that everything was done and didn't miss anything. He has a light touch. Rafael is very professional and I felt very comfortable. Other artists would go by and say Hi and stop and talk. I will be going back to Main Street Tattoo and Body Piercing in Merced from now on. Ask for "Rafael." I know I will be.

I received a navel piercing here about a year ago. It was marked while I was lying down, and I…read morenoticed immediately that it appeared crooked. Over the next three months, I experienced persistent pain and developed an irritation bump. I ultimately had to remove it, which left a visible scar. When I returned to discuss the issue, the piercer denied having done the piercing, despite my appointment being only a month prior. That response was very upsetting and made the situation feel even worse. I've since had other piercings done elsewhere that healed without issue, which leads me to believe the original placement may not have been correct. I'm sharing this so others can ensure their piercings are properly assessed and that their concerns are acknowledged.

Def recommend Mayor as a tattoo artist. He has beautiful shading and will work with your budget depending on the idea you have. Other than tats he's done my ear piercings and my boyfriends as well. My bf has had a conch done by him as well. Hoping to be guinea pig for Mayor when he starts practicing on nose piercings
