The piercer was okay at first then she kept on using the n slur in almost every sentence while having a conversation. I've heard in the past from her other clients at orbit how she was very unprofessional and was using foul language and being very touchy and aggressive once told to stop. read more

Came here to bring my friends to get their nose pierced. They have a koi pond in the front waiting area! How relaxing. Their prices seem really affordable (I shared a photo of one of the price lists, check it out in my photos). I can't remember that chicks name that did the piercings but she was hella cool. I wasn't getting anything but I still wanted to watch the nose piercings go down and she let me. She was very informational as I had a lot of questions watching her. The nose piercings (2 people, 2 piercings) went by super fast. It didn't take long at all. No blood either. I was surprised. My friends love their piercings! read more

We went there 4 months ago to get nose piercing and my boyfriend got the TRAGUS piercing and this lady was new ,she was struggling to put it and my boyfriend's ear wouldn't stop bleeding . We paid 170$ . I do not recommend this place ....! Go to (the plug tattoo and piercing) much better read more

Juan or JR is one of the best I know. To this date - I have 3 large tats done by him. He is patient and creative! My favorite part is sharing my thoughts and vision and allowing him to take it from there. As we talk...he will get to know you and that inspires him to add a little here and there to bring out what you want. Due to my great work - my wife has since gotten a tattoo...and he took her thoughts and created something she loves!!! read more

I've been to this place a couple of times to get my monroe and nose piercings. The place is clean the koi pond inside was a sign of good luck and abundance but the best part is that my lpiercings didn't hurt at all. The staff are always great read more

So some years ago... my 15 year old decided to jump in the back seat of a friends car and pierce her nose!!! Every parents nightmare right? Lucky for tattoo'd mom I was telling my story to Juan the owner and lucky for me and my Daughter Zolima was starting! The agreement was my daughter can have piercings, but only done in a clean professional environment. Zolima has been piercing my daughter for about 3 years and I wouldn't take her anywhere else. Zolima is patient and calm, she is funny, but professional and always cares about hygiene first! If you're looking to get tattoo'd go to Juan! If you need a piercing... Go to Zolima! Trust me!!!! read more

Went in about a month ago to get 3 helix piercings and my second lobe piercing. come to find out, after the swelling went down, my helix piercings aren't spaced correctly. When I was there the lady was struggling to put the top of the ball on the piercings, causing me to sit there a little lightheaded and in pain while she dropped the ball (literally, and figuratively) multiple times. My partner came with me and got his tongue pierced the same day... and guess what! His piercing is crooked!!! What the actual f***! We paid about $170 for our piercings to come out all messed up. I'm just saying... there's places down the road that have WAY better jewelry (they have like none at Nunez) and do bundle deals for people who get a few piercings. All in all, this place is a rip off. Don't go here if you want the job done right. read more

First of all I've been coming to this shop for YEARS. Z is one of the best when it comes to communication, making you comfortable and giving you exactly what you came for as a piercer. She's so kind & patient, especially when you're back and forth in what to get & pain level (ie taking myself out of shit lol). She's all around so sweet and has made me more comfortable than any other piercer to date. All of my piercings (and friends/family's piercing from her) have looked amazing and healed great. She also is GREAT for follow up. If you are nervous to change something yourself, have a question or need a suggestion, she is SUPER available and helpful long after your piercing is done. I refer all of my friends and family members to her because I know for a fact she will make the process as comfortable as possible & do the best job! read more

Been going to Nunez since I turned 18.... Which means I been a long time customer lol! Clean. Never had any issues getting holes or ink. Very Professional. I always work with Juan but I'm sure his staff is pretty knowledgeable as well. Call and make an appt. Oh yeah and even if it is on San Pablo ave, parking is pretty easy to deal with. read more

If it was a lower rating I would rate it -0. Today, my friends and I went to this Tatt & Piercing spot, my 1 friend got her nose and tragus pierced. I'm going to make this short n str8 to the point, the young lady didn't know what she was doing for 1. She did my friend tragus first, she end up messing up and rip some of her skin off her tragus, her ears kept on bleeding for an hour smh, it would not stop bleeding, it was literally gushing out (pouring). She still charged her, which she should've have gave it to her for FREE. She gave her solution which had soap in it, it's 2018 you suppose to use sea salt. My other friend and I was telling her, "Let's Go" . We went to another piercing spot where I got my tragus done and they even said, they jacked her ears up. This situation was a whole mess, unprofessional n shady. They lady didn't even apologize. BE AWARE!!!!! read more

Got my earlobes pierced here and it was a fun experience cause I'm very Squeamish lol which is funny cause I have a lot of piercings the piercer made me feel comfortable and we had a bunch of laughs definitely do recommend read more

Juan is AMAZING!!! I had a rib piece done by him and he made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. He took his time and allowed me to take as many breaks as I needed, which made me feel at ease. The tattoo was beautiful and just what I had envisioned. I had my sister's cartilage pierced and he did an excellent job with her as well. Wide range of jewelry on display as well, I was glad to find the flat back nose hoop I was looking for. I would definitely recommend Nunez tattoo for both tattoos and piercings! read more

Been going to him for years for your piercings and beautiful tattoos . Will continue to go there . Professional service and clean

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT get peircing at Nunez!!!!!!! I got an upper ear lobe peircing and regret it. First of all, the jewerly was not autoclaved. Secondly, the lady placed the earring on the same surface that I was sitting on. Thirdly she used a permanent marker to mark the location of the piercing, and I'm pretty sure she uses that marker on everyone. The only sterilization she did was spray disinfectant on my ear than wipe it off with an unsterile paper towel. That's not even the worse part! She used a freaking GUN!!!!! Because she used a gun instead of a needle she accidently pierced part of my cartilage. A lobe piercing shouldnt hurt and this one hurts worse than my helix! Bottom line: Pay extra for a professional that uses needles and is concerned about sterilization. She's an amatuer. read more

Will not recommend this place for piercings!!!! ugh! so the positives first what little there were. it was cheap. like $25 for everything. And it didn't hurt. Now ok so standard lip piercing is a 16g..... NOT mine! The ring i have in now im not sure what it is but it's smaller than 16g and BIGGER yes bigger than what i was pierced with!!!! Took me an hour to get it in and that was a full 3 weeks after i got my lip pierced. And i took really good care of my lip. Friends were amazed at the lack of swelling and how well and fast it healed. And still 3 weeks later i had to FORCE this little ring through my lip! PAINFUL! and Now about 2 months later i still cant even force the 16g through =/ ! The girl that pierced my lip didn't tell me what she used and well i guess shame on me for assuming it was a 16g needle! I had to ask about after care and healing time or i'm pretty sure she never would've opened her mouth. I was super excited at first cuz i'd been waiting a long time to get my lip done and finally did it but once that excitement wore off I looked back and realized wow she was impersonal... then tried to put a new piercing in and thats when i was just really annoyed. NEVER AGAIN AT NUNEZ! read more

It is a rite of passage in our family to have our daughter's ears pierced at 1. It was my youngest daughters time and we wanted some place clean and professional. Joann was wonderful and so sweet with our princess. Thank you so much for making this a wonderful experience. read more

I love going here for my piercings, is a very clean place and friendly. I even got a tattoo there which am very picky about who can tattoo me. Juan the owner did mine I love the way it came out. I love the rsults. read more

I went in and inquired about a tattoo. The owner was very friendly & knowledgeable. I will be making an appointment in the near future.

Went to Nunez to get a coverup of a silly tattoo I got when I was younger. Juan had put together a good looking tattoo. I didnt think the tat could be covered up, but he accomplish to cover the tat and did a fantasic job at that!!! Juan is the BOMB!!!! I would recommend him to anyone interested in getting a tattoo or coverup. read more

Never again will I go there. They deserve 0 stars period read more

Will NEVER go back! At least for a piercing! Horrible experience! The guy who usually does my dermals moved to sac so I was told about Nunez and their forever going "piercing promo sale". I usually pay around $80 but at nunez it was $40. This seemed like I hit the jackpot at the time because I wanted 3 done: in the middle of my chest & two in my back. I must admit the girl who pierced me was hella koo but she did a horrible job on my dermals. She used a dermal punch ( which you're never suppose to use ) and the hole for my dermal ended up wayyy too big for da piercing! All three piercings FELL out by the time I drove home to Vallejo!! Yes FELL out! If you know anything about dermals.. They're suppose to sit snug close to your skin even when you first get them pierced! My hole was wayy visible and I could understand why the jewelry fell out. I called them back told them what happened and they gave me an attitude because they were about to close. They did wait for me though, but the guy lectured me saying not to touch them and I must have hit them because they're not suppose to fall out! I'm looking at the guy like he's crazy because I already had 3 properly done dermals prior to that and those experiences definitely didn't end up like this! To wrap up the story , all 3 ended up rejecting and one of the jewels even fell out of the anchor SMH! Note I haven't had ANY problems with my other 3. DO NOT GET PIERCED HERE! read more

Joann, you rock.Thanks for the nice piercings.

got my first piercing at this place its a really great clean and nice small place to get a piercing or tattoo :) read more

I would never get a piercing there.i had got my dimples pierced there and it was the worst experience of my life!they put jewelry that was ways to small so when my cheeks swelled up the piercing was embedding in my cheeks..I had to go to Berkeley to get longer bars and the solution they gave me to clean with was nooo good! read more

I've been here twice now. Once for an industrial piercing and again recently for an inverse labret piercing (Ashley). The environment is peaceful the staff is amazing but they aren't very great with answering the phones. The first time I was pierced there I had called for days left voicemails and requested a call back and after no follow thru I just made the trip back to the store only to find out nothing I didn't already know. I went back because again the work environment is amazing. I just got the Ashley piercing Friday and I noticed that the swelling was causing the Jewelry to cut into my lip. I called again to ask if it was normal and they never answered the phone. I left a voicemail with panic in my voice I understand I called on a day that they weren't open so I patiently waited on a response because I assumed they would check the voicemail on the first day back from being closed for two days and nothing. I have called already twice today and still no one is there to answer the phone. Great customer service shouldn't stop after a tattoo or piercing is finished. Especially if you want to keep getting repeat clientele. I need a response from someone because I truly believe that the piercing is cutting me and I refuse to take my piercing out after all the pain I went thru. If I have to see another piercer to fix something a phone call could answer I'll never return. read more
