Industrial Tattoo is located not too far from UC Berkeley, so parking may be a bit hit or miss. The…read moreshop is tucked away from the main street, so they may be easily missed. I heard very good things about this spot, so I was excited to come here. A bit background, my tragus earrings fell out about 3 days prior to this visit. I lost one, so I decided to get a new set and wanted someone out the jewelry back in for me, as it is difficult for me to get the backing for these piercings, Anyway, I stopped in, was greeted, and informed to fill out a form on my phone. After filling it out, I was taken to the glass case where the earrings were and the ones I wanted only have one left, so I picked out a different pair (they sell the earrings individually). I was told to wait for the piercer to help me. After a short wait, someone came out for me and we went to the back. I got settled on the piercing / tattoo bed and was walked through the process. My piercer was nice and since we were just putting new ones in, it was a quick process. I went back to the front to get rung up for the jewelry and service (they do charge $10 for each piercing change). The reason why I gave them a 2 is because one of my tragus swelled up very badly. Not sure why it would had swelled up like that, as I did not get pierced, so I am not sure if they did not clean the jewelry properly or practice correct hand hygiene. I had to carefully clean it, as it was so inflamed and hurt so badly for days. Overall, it would had been a 1, but the experience up to afterwards was pleasant.

This review is for Eldo and Alex. I had my conch piercing…read moredone at a reputable place in LA (not body manipulation) before I moved to SF but during the last 4-5 months ran into a number of issues- swelling back of ear, etc. I went to body manipulation twice for consultation and to get my earring swapped out and both Eldo and Alex were so knowledgeable and so helpful. They took the time to walk me through what was happening and also recommended that if the swelling and fluid filled bump behind my ear didn't settle down, to go get it drained (which I did and it's been great since). I wish I had gotten my piercing done here originally. Their pricing is reasonable and knowledge far deeper than other places I'm aware of. The after care service is insane and I recommend this place 10/10!

I came by today again to get my upper helix pierced and I had a very pleasant experience. An Asian gentleman (I think his name is Eldo?) assisted me with deciding where exactly I wanted to get pierced, as I was deciding between lower helix and upper helix/flat. I brought my own jewelry and he was able to sterilize it for me at no extra charge! He was super nice! Kenny did my piercing and explained the entire process to me, even though it wasn't my first piercing. I think that shows they take their job very seriously to ensure customers know how to care for their new piercings. I paid $40 for the piercing and tipped in cash. Parking can be tricky but overall, I highly recommend BM.

Then he pierced it without a clamp and since my pain tolerance is VERY LOW he said "instead of counting down, I'm just gonna do it!" Worked like a charm because the paint was legit 3 out of 10 and I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Oh and most piercings are $25!!!!! I was expecting $150 since I paid $180 in a Berkeley for a double helix (upper ear piercing for those who aren't familiar with it).

Between the phone call and walking in I think I answered like 3 questions total, and the needle was in my nose within the first 2 minutes. He talked the whole time and moved so fast I didn't even realize he was done until a couple minutes later when he said, "you can get up now" lmao. My husband got one too and that was just as quick. When I tell you that we were there for a total of ten minutes, I mean that we got out of the car at 6:25 and it was 6:35 when we sat back down to leave. Dude was a character, but we like that.
