wow. I had a consultation appointment for an earlobe piercing that i seen was closed in the back. I had Sasha and again ... WOW. She was extremely welcoming, super easy to talk to, and even finished before i noticed ! She told me we could just reopen it and we did it right then and there. Consultations are free but i did buy a pair of titanium flat back studs for about $100 but worth it for my sensitive skin :) I would HIGHLY recommend her for your piercing necessities. I will definitely be coming back in the future ! Thanks Sasha! read more

To preface, I never write reviews, but this place deserves all the stars. Since moving to the Bay a couple years ago, I exclusively come here to get pierced and always by Sasha. I know her whole team is excellent, but I just love talking with her and how easy she makes it to get holes poked in your face. The studio itself is rad and so fun to be in and look around, but Sasha herself is what keeps me coming back. Her advice is sincere and I know she knows her shit. If you're someone who gets nervous about piercings or just like spooky things and/or good conversation (or silence, if that's your thing), look no further. These people know what they're doing, never talk down to you, and are always helpful and accommodating. read more

Two thumbs up! Sasha was really great and I love that she was so patient with the whole process, listened to what I wanted, and even recommended really cute jewelry to me! Her jewelery recommendations were also spot-on, she just somehow knew what I was looking for. I made an appointment online and everything was seamless. I highly recommend! read more

Best piercer. I have had many ear piercings (tragus, flat, rook) from the fabulous Sasha Blue. This lady is LEGENDARY. Definitely hit her up for your next piercing. read more

Amazing service and awesome staff! I called in randomly to ask if they had glass gauge earrings in stock, and was able to drop in. I was in a rush and was able to even stretch my current size and get two new earrings with extra backings. Price was also very fair! Definitely recommend if you need any piercing and or tattoos in the future read more

I came in to get my upper lobes pierced as well as a third piercing. The prices are very reasonable in my opinion. If anything, it was less expensive than the piercer I go to in SoCal, so I was surprised that I was paying less for piercings when I'm in SF where prices for everything seem to be substantially marked up compared to what I'm used to in SoCal. Anyways, before coming in, I messaged Sasha on Yelp and she was very quick to respond! If you want to message her for a quote on prices, it is very easy and I encourage you to do so (but I doubt you would find another place that charges less than Sasha). FYI you are not allowed to bring in your jewelry, so you have to choose from the array of jewelry that is offered in the store which is perfectly fine since the least expensive jewelry (the hoops) start at $20. Sasha is very easy to talk to and conversation flowed very easily. The process is also very quick! I was probably in and out of there within 10 minutes. Just bring your ID and cash (because this is a cash only place). Sasha is also very good and quick with the piercings, which I find is a big plus when finding a good piercer. The faster the better because it hurts less that way!! The place itself was really nice. It may look narrow from outside of the store but it's actually quite spacious inside. The art and decorations are all very aesthetic. I especially liked the Japanese styled paper parasols on the ceilings which helped to shade the natural light that was coming in from the ceiling. Each tattoo artist and piercer seems to have their own work space and Sasha's space is colorfully decorated and wasn't intimidating at all. Overall, the entire store is very well lit and welcoming so it's not your typical grungy and dimly lit tattoo parlor! I would definitely recommend going to Sasha to get your piercings done. I'm definitely gonna go to her again in probably another year or two to get some of my other piercings done. read more

I just had the pleasure of having Sasha pierce my Tragus. I was so nervous walking up to my appointment, I almost backed out! But once I seen Sasha I immediately felt comfortable! She has a wonderful selection of gold jewelry, which was a huge plus for me because I'm allergic to everything else. She was fast which was great! And we had such a lovely conversation the whole time she was piercing me. I would highly recommend Sasha she is truly a doll. Thank you honey. Jessie read more

I love Sasha. She is so damn cool. I got two lobe piercings and a helix, and it was quick and easy. The jewelry selection is very cute as well with many good options which she will walk you through. Even in the time of COVID, this was a great experience. Everything was clean, and social distancing was in place. The guy at the front who checked me in was nice and I think he was Australian...for some reason I found that cool. I will definitely be back for more helixes once this one heals!!! read more

Got my industrial pierced here! Sasha was so helpful and kind throughout the process. I was so nervous I was sweating, thought I'd pass out .... It was so quick and efficient I didn't even notice the second hole was pierced. Quick and easy, and got a goodie bag at the end :) will definitely be back. read more

I waited 55 years to pierce my ear. Sasha totally understood and made it a welcoming experience. No toughness and no attitude. She's a lovely being and a great artist. Also the vibe at 13 Bats is spot on quirky gothcore. I love it. read more

Fantastic experience getting my nose pierced at Mission Ink. She did a wonderful job making me feel comfortable and talking through the whole experience, as well as the after care. It's been about a week and the piercing is healing really well. Would definitely recommend. Things to remember before going: - Cash only! They have an ATM inside. - Arrive early in the day for less of a wait time. - Know what kind of jewelry you want. Kitten not included read more

They seem cool. But there pricing for jewelry is OUTRAGEOUS!!! The price of their cheapest "neo metal" I can get real gold for. The real gold is at a decent price but the stones are fake. And you can pay the same to actually get a diamond with the gold!!! So.... Yea. No. read more

I'm a little nervous when it comes to piercings, but Sasha made the whole process go super smooth! I previously had my ears pierced at a Claire's as a teen (I know, I know), and Sasha helped by re-piercing one lobe that had closed up, and repositioning the other lobe that was a bit off center. Very professional, and communicative, and friendly. I'm glad I waited a while to post my review, because the experience with healing & aftercare has been leaps and bounds better than my prior experience. The jewelry options were cute, and comfortable! I barely feel them, especially going to sleep at night. She suggested some other fun future ear piercing placements, and at the time I was thinking, "No way!" but now I can't help but admit I'm tempted :) read more

Went in to get new jewelry put in existing piercings and Sasha is super helpful and friendly! She had the most beautiful array of choices and I had a lot of fun picking my forward helix, conch, belly, and lobe jewelry with her. I will definitely be back when I look to get my next piercing!! read more

I got my upper lobe/bottom of cartliage pierced yesterday and Sasha did a great job. As this is not my first piercing, she reminded me how to take care of it and I felt really comfortable in her chair. She is super friendly, she has a great selection of jewerly, and it's all VERY clean (hella big plus). I'll be back! ;-) (NOTE: Its cash only! There is an ATM machine in the establishment, and a Chase down the street... so if you don't have Chase and don't want to spend an extra $3 for the ATM inside the shop...BRING CASH!) read more

I came in last year for a stacked lobe and forward helix piercing. Another piercer had told me I didn't have enough space for a forward helix but Sasha said it would be no problem. She was so friendly and I loved how they turned out! Considering coming back for a new piercing soon! read more

I usually don't write reviews but I had to this time. I came here to get my earlobe pierced. I was so scared of the pain since my pain tolerance is very low and the skin on my earlobes is thick. But Sasha was so, so sweet and made that experience much easier for me. I felt very comfortable with her and enjoyed talking to her. She was professional and kind. Sasha knows what she's doing for sure. Highly recommend!! read more

My anxious, needle-phobic teenage daughter wanted a cartilage piercing for her 16th birthday and after a bunch of research, we drove to SF just for Sashablue. She lives up to all of the positive reviews! We arrived in the early evening, and after a short wait, we were finished up almost as quickly without feeling rushed. Sashablue was professional, gentle, and fun, putting my daughter at ease. My daughter is thrilled. We highly recommend Sashablue! read more

Sasha was amazing with my daughter who just turned 7. We loved all the sparkly choices, the clean & sterile environment & the fairy dust that made it go smoothly & without pain read more

Cannot say enough good things about Sasha and 13 bats. I went to get my ears double pierced for the first time a month ago. Sasha walked me through jewelry options and was very patient explaining the different materials and pieces. She made me feel super comfortable, let me review and adjust the placement before the piercing, and answered all my questions. Honestly, it felt like going through the process with a friend. Sasha is absolutely lovely. If you're looking for a warm, welcoming place to get pierced, 13 bats is IT! read more

Sasha is absolutely fabulous. Took my daughter in for a nose piercing and ending up getting one for myself too (who would of thought :o.) That's how welcoming and relaxed Sasha makes you feel. Beautiful jewelry to choose from. Sasha is simply amazing- you won't be disappointed:) read more

Okay post might be a tad long ! Sasha Sasha! If I could give her more than 5 starts I would! Sooo long story short, I was calling tattoo and piercings places like crazy this week, trying to figure out stuff and see if anyone would be down to help me remove piercings. Obvi places (bc of Covid) were like nope, sorry, hang up. Or good luck, nope. Or didn't even pick up to my call ! I was getting super anxious and almost gave up. I found 13 bats on here, called to see if same story would happen BUT INSTEAD SASHAAAA WAS AMAZING ! I asked her the simple questions, are you open blah blah.. and she said no. But It was like a no with some rainbow colors and all that!!. Not only did she ask for what I was looking for BUT without me asking she gave me some advice, what she would do, how she would do it, some healing practices and some options if it got complicated ! I was soooo relieved that I found her. (It's true when they say -good things come when you aren't looking!! - or you know what I mean). So I was able to solve my problem and did exactly what she recommend, was super successful! (Might you, my dumbass was over here overthinking the whole scenario ‍ and it was super easy) I called the next day and shes probably thinking damn this girl is needy! But I just wanted to make sure of other things and without hesitation, she answered all my questions and was a rockstar! I am sooo looking forward to meeting her and getting some piercings (and tattoos!) I been contemplating for looooong, once all this nonsense opens up! Also her shop looks super cute and homey, she's already the homey!! Def recommend her! She knows her stuff and was so friendly and amazing. Feels like she's my new best friend ! Check her out ! Support small business !! Support female owners!! Thank you thank you!! Def call her up and visit, you won't be disappointed. You are incredible Sasha! read more

I'm extremely picky about who I go to for things like piercings, and tattoos. And when I find the right person, I don't switch easily. I've been going back and forth to San Rafael to go to my usual piercer but it's become too much to handle. So, I did my research, and found SashaBlue and she was a DREAM. I got my conch pierced, and despite having 9 piercings already, 5 being facial, I was SO nervous but Sasha was calm and collected and super kind and patient! She walked me through the process and was very thorough and clean! She even checked my other piercings for me (per request) and measured them so I'd know. She's a dream and I can't wait to go back to her! read more

Sasha did it again! I had a stubborn septum hole that was in desperate need of getting new jewelry and Sasha worked her magic and managed to get a horseshoe in!! Thank u so much! I love it :)) read more

She is awesome! Such a good jewelry selection and Sasha was so helpful in picking out the right piece. She was so gentle and got my most stubborn earring out with ease. Would absolutely recommend going here! Great conversation and service read more

Sasha is amazing! I went to her for my nose piercing and she was amazing from start to finish. She was so kind and funny throughout the piercing process and made sure that I had the information needed to care for my piercing afterwards. I absolutely recommend Sasha to anyone looking for a clean, professional experience for a new piercing. read more

She's AMAZING! Got my nose pierced and she made the process fun, relaxed, and hilarious. Absolutely recommend Sasha for any/all piercing

Amazing amazing !!! Sasha is the most professional, kind , gentle and skilled piercer ive met ive gotten alot of piercings from her.. sterile , friendly shop . i highly recommend her to everyone !!! read more

I dropped in on a whim to get my nose pierced, and I was super nervous, but Sasha did an AMAZING job. She let me take as much time as I needed to decide on the type of stud, and when it came to the actual piercing, it hardly hurt at all! I've heard some horror stories of nose piercings gone wrong, but it was just a slight pinch and then it was over. She's an amazing piercer, I'll definitely be back for more! read more
