Decided to get a piercing last minute and they were able to accommodate me. Communicated and booked via text, which was very convenient. The person communicating with me was knowledgeable and patient enough to answer my questions/concerns. The place was a little chaotic with different tattoo artists in one place attending to their own customers/clients. There is, however, 2 people that would welcome and direct you where to go and that's very helpful. The person who did my piercing was very friendly and made sure to explain the process before, during and after (e.g. how to take care of my piercing so it heals properly). A couple of weeks later from the time I got my ear pierced, it got so swollen that my skin swallowed the stud and I had to pull it out last night. It might be a user error but that was so painful and I would not want to put myself through that pain again. LOL! read more

The owners are incredibly nice and talented as well as the rest of the team. Everytime I've walked in everybody is so cool and helpful, definitely a downtown staple! read more

Had a night out with my husband this past weekend and we decided to get a small tattoo each on a whim. My tattoo artist was Richy (apologies but did not get the artist name for my husband's tattoo). We were greeted immediately and signed paperwork. I love love my finger tattoos and Richy did an amazing job! Richy was extremely hilarious and made the whole experience 10/10. I definitely will be coming back in the future for more tattoos! And sidenote, every inch of this shop has something interesting to look at. Love all the wall decor! read more

been coming here for years, walked in for a piercing, nostril piercing which ive gotten multiple times before from different piecers. instagram says the price is $40 for nostril, i was charged $60 by the lady piercing that night and didn't even get to pick out the type of jewelry. idk just seems shady that theyre allowed to make up piercing prices on the spot. read more

Pat was very professional and delicate! He talked us through every step and made us very comfortable. I've had all of my piercings done at naked Al's and wouldn't go anywhere else! Can't wait to go back and get another one! Thank you Pat! read more

Came in and everyone in the shop had bad vibes, I don't recommend coming here, they're really rude. Edit for clarification: to be specific it was a redhead lady who was rude to me. I didn't get a tattoo so I'm not sure if they give good tattoos, it's the customer service I am concerned about. read more

Brandon gave me my first tattoo & it was the best experience I could've asked for my first time. Such a nice & chill guy! 10/10 recommendation. read more

Literally go get a piercing anywhere else but here! The blonde Chick that gave me a nose piercing was a bad vibe the whole time, bad attitude, don't work there if you hate your job girl. The diamond fell off my piercing within the 3 days of getting it, she didn't bother to mention anything about the care for the piercing until I asked myself when she was asking for the payment already, didn't even say more than 3 words.... terrible service. read more

I just needed to add something - I've gotten four tattoos here and last night, my fourth, I wanted the zip code of where I used to live. The artist was cool with the numbers and went to draw it up. I then thought about adding a mountain range behind it and told him I wanted it small enough so I could add a mountain range later. Not asking him because they were packing up for an expo. He asked if I wanted it now and did extra for me. And at the end of the tattoo, he seemed happy that I wanted the font he chose for my tattoo. I did NOT feel up charged in the slightest even with the very last moment add on! No matter if Morgue or Alex or another artist there is tattooing you, you WILL walk out happy. read more

Great place for walk-in piercings and tattoos. Their prices are cheap and great work is done. I got my daith pierced for around $50. The piercer is pretty blunt, but does a great job piercing & I definitely trusted him. My friends have gotten tattoos from here and they look great. The linework is clean and they made everyone feel comfortable here. Would definitely recommend! read more

I was doing my research for a tattoo shop in town since my tattoo artist wasn't available the day i was. I highly recommend this place! I came in without and appointment and was greeted by the artists in the shop right away. They asked me what i was in for and they quickly told me the next artist coming in would help me right away. I waited about 15 minutes. The artist was Daniel, he quickly got settled and ready to start, he asked what i wanted and did it right away. Since what i got was a tiny small tattoo it took about 10 minutes. He let me know he did free touch ups (i got a finger tattoo so they fade). Definitely a vibe in this place! read more

I went in to get a tattoo by Ricky Knows and he was polite and the tattoo is good. My issue was the amount of People stomping in and out of the parlor. It appeared one of them worked there but she just brought in a large group and they were all hanging around the tattoo stations. It was extremely unprofessional and made me uncomfortable. #livelaughlove Also, my friend got Her nose pierced and the piercer was rude and offered zero after care instructions. read more

went in as a walk in for a dermal piercing & Crystal made me feel very welcomed in her chair and was very patient with me since I kept changing my placing of piercing! She gave me excellent customer service! Get your piercings with Crystal !! read more

went there for a couple of ear piercings, as the day I went I saw they were having a small sale of a couple dollars off. I got a flat and a lower helix, however, the jewelry that they were pierced with was the incorrect jewelry and I was not offered the opportunity to choose my own jewelry either. instead of flat backs, which are the recommended jewelry for these kinds of piercings, eyebrow bars were used. the eyebrow bars are too long and move easily, which makes the healing process harder and more painful. this led to an infection and a horrible bump on my lower helix as well as a really tough healing process (got them pierced in June, still have a small bump that hasn't gone away), which was also pierced on the thickest part of my ear. I had to go to premier piercing (which I would recommend as they are the only apa certified shop in Bakersfield, a little more expensive but they know what they're doing) to get the bars replaced for the proper jewerly, costing me more money when all of this could've been avoided in the first place had the correct jewelry been used. this experience made me super sad as the guy who pierced my ears was super sweet and accommodating, and I wanted to return for more piercings. definitely don't get any piercings here if you want them to heal properly :( read more

We popped in on a random Friday afternoon for a matching tattoo for 4 of us. They had great artists on hand to get us all in and out for our quick commemorative tats so our celebrations could continue. They were super nice and fun, we had a blast. Not only were they quick but all of our tats look great!!! I'm totally going back for more ink soon! read more

I went in for a piercing on New Year's Eve, and while I was waiting, a lady with red hair claiming to be the owner of the shop came in with a group of people very clearly drunk. She was yelling at the piercer the F slur and then justified it by saying that it's okay because she's the owner and her boss. Then, when she was leaving to go back to what I assume was the bar, she slapped my butt thinking I was someone else. She then told the piercer to give me a $10 discount on my piercing because I was clearly uncomfortable with her touching me in that manner. I felt bad for the employees as my piercer was very apologetic for her boss's behavior and instead of giving me $10 off, she gave me free upgraded jewelry and didn't charge me for the piercing. I don't know how the owner of a business would think it's okay to show up to their business inebriated and cause such chaos. While I was very satisfied with the service my piercer provided, I'm not sure I'd come back. read more

I had a good experience with my piercer. They were nice and I felt comfortable. But the piercings they provide are so small & look like low quality. My piercing fell out because it was too small & when I let them know, they were going to charge me $10 extra to put it back in. I went to Bakersfield Tattoo & Piercing on wible & they did it for free.. on top of that my experience was better & the piercing was a WAY BETTER QUALITY. The place is nice for a tat but the piercing are better at Bakersfield Tattoo & Piercing read more

Horrible quality of the service tattoo is completely awful and they won't refund only do a touch from the same person who messed it up what a joke don't come here especially don't go to issac Montana awful experience awful tatto outcome bro needs to find a new profession read more

i used to come here all the time. came in today for a piercing, sat in the waiting area for 40 minutes & no one helped me. the people who worked there just looked at me & walked by. they weren't busy at all. ended up leaving & going to mad dog right down the street- would highly recommend them over naked als which is a shame because it used to be a bakersfield staple. read more

got my eyebrow piercing done here, pat did an amazing job! love the placement and it's healing really well.

Do not come here for piercings!! My friends and I got our piercings here and they are all infected and we came to mad dogs to get them out! Tiffany is not a body piercer and doesn't need to be doing them. She stabbed my friend in the back of the head with the needle and made his head bleed. DO NOT COME HERE. Go to mad dogs!!!! read more

Ed is an awesome artist! He copied a drawing that my son created, and it near identical! My son was pleased and impressed when he saw it. Everybody at Naked Al's is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend them for your next tat! I also left confident in my after-care instructions. read more

great piercings but the vibes are rancid. be warned artists have horrible attitudes and are not welcoming.

This is the only shop I go to for my piercings. Patrick is very professional & gentle during the process. They even carry cute jewelry!

I got a cartlidge ear piercing here on Sat July 30th 2022. It became infected probably immediately but I started showing symptoms of infection 2 days later. A long story short I ended up at urgent care 2 xs w a shot of antibiotics abs sent hm w oral antibiotics. The next day it was worse and so I went back to urgent care. The urgent care Dr sent me to the ER saying I needed IV antibiotics. Thankfully, the Er Dr. said I did not need IV antibiotics but gave me a very strong pain medication and said that the antibiotics I had already started are pretty much the strongest you can take for this sort of infection. Mind you, I was a surgery assistant for years so I know how to take care of myself and keep things clean. This was 100% the piercer at Naked Al's not using sterile tools and not maintaining a sterile field and after thinking back on it she did not wash her hands before putting on gloves. This little $70 dollar piercing has cost me well over a thousand dollars so far and I have not even received my medical and ER bills yet! Oh! And my husband gave the broad a $30 dollar tip. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT go to Naked Al's. They are very unprofessional and dirty! read more

Got my first tattoo here, I believe his name was Daniel made me feel not so nervous. Definitely recommend this place!

Huge shoutout to Tom Tom at Naked Al's. I Have several tattoos as it is from several different artists in different states, but hands-down this guy has been the best all around that I've ever gone to. I literally went bs k the next day to have a bigger piece done that's turning out better than I'd hoped. His work is clean asf, very fair pricing & solid ethic. He has accommodated all of my requests always making my vision come to life in the most efficient ways. When this guy busted out an old Bic pen to draw directly on my skin instead of straight to the computer to print some shit, i knew he was legit. True artist here y'all. The shop is clean and professional. All the staff there have really been great. I've never felt uncomfortable or uneasy there. They are actually a pretty f***** bad ass team together. Kudos to all y'all!! See you soon! read more

Professional, clean, bad ass and most importantly, they don't have a stick up their asses about tattoos. Most shop in the location treat getting a tattoo like buying a damn car. Naked Al's is down to earth and their artist are as good if not better than most shops in the area! read more
