I have sixteen piercings and Lisa did twelve of them. The other ones I got at Claire's LOL. She is super fast, professional, talented and funny. Never had any problems with any of my piercings. She's really great, I always text her to make an appointment when I'm feeling like another one. She takes walk ins all the time I just wouldn't want to bother when she's busy so I always make sure I make an appointment. I've taken so many of my friends and family to her. If you want a quick painless perfect piercing then Lisa is that girl !! read more

In truth, I don't have a lot of experience with piercing studios but I had to get a new hole, since my one from college days closed up. After 18 years my wife finally got me an earring to commemorate our wedding (I work around electricity too much to wear a ring). She commissioned an artist friend in Alaska to create it. We tried another studio, but they weren't wheelchair friendly. Studio 13 had a ramp out back, the folks were very considerate of her and we got to be together the ring was put in. Lisa and Lisa helped her be involved in the process and made sure I was well informed about the process and post-care. The Lisa that performed the piercing did an expert job with little discomfort and she took good care of my ear art. We will be back to get my wife's ears redone. read more

Studio 13 Tattooing & Piercing - Tattoo Near Me - Salinas, California

After doing a little bit of research, I decided upon this place to get my second lobe piercings done as it had good reviews but wasn't ridiculously expensive. (I paid $75 for the piercing and jewelry.) I was a little nervous as I don't remember getting my first piercings done since I was a kid at the time. Lisa (and the other gal who was there, wasn't able to catch her name) were both super nice and funny. Lisa guided me to breathe as she was doing the piercings and I really couldn't have asked for a better experience. She made sure to line them up in a way that would look good since my first piercings are the tiniest bit lopsided. She also made sure that I was aware of the best way to take care of them as they healed. I'm super happy with how they turned out and I'll definitely be back again. read more

Studio 13 Tattooing & Piercing - second lobe piercing done by lisa - Tattoo Near Me - Salinas, California

The piercer there is amazing, walked in and out in practically no time. The vibe was amazing and I got both of my nostrils pierced.

I got a piercing here on nov 1st I don't use my debit card other than to pay my credit cards & car note. On the 1st, I used my debit card to pay for my piercing. First official purchase after a year It's nov 3rd & I got a notification from my bank that someone was buying things using my debit card. Which leads me to have a big suspicion on this place. I could be wrong , but people be careful. This is the only place I've used my debit card & not a week later, I get all these charges.. read more

called in before coming and asked if there was time for a walk in & they said yes, only thing is there could be zero to a few people before your spot .. doesn't take long for a piercing and I probably waited about 20 minutes with my friend lisa is the piercer there and I ended up getting both of my daith pierced, and i love it ! it costs $45 for one daith & the jewelry I picked out was $20 (jewelry price varies) it is a little pricier here, but there are spots you can get done cheaper for two piercings including the jewelry & mine healed all perfect fine .. here, they charge by one piercing, don't get me wrong, just a heads up ! but lisa did a good job, my friend & i also tipped her (: I would recommend asking how to clean the piercings, how long it would take to heal, & solution if they don't bring it up because it is important if it is your first time getting any piercing .. for me, it wasn't a big deal because I know how to take care of my piercings p.s. its a small shop with small parking in the back read more

Studio 13 Tattooing & Piercing - Double Nose Pierced... - Tattoo Near Me - Salinas, California

Talked to a guy on the phone and asked if there were appointments available because the day before that I called and I was talking to a lady and said there will be openings at 3 for the next day. He was rude the second I asked about the availability and said "No! I'm all booked." Won't be coming here and wouldn't recommend it. Know your worth. Just wanted a small wrist tattoo in memory of my brother that passed away 6 months ago. read more

I can't say enough good things about Lisa here who has done all of my piercings. She's done my septum, nostril, two side by side tongue piercings, a dermal, a 12 piece corset piercing, conch, a surface piercing on my wrist, and my daughters lobes twice. The placement is always spot on and she's fast and painless. I've never healed incorrectly or had any issues at all. Will always come back and recommend. read more

Lisa was great! She was fast and kind and if I wasn't such a chicken, I'd get more piercings! I just had a 2nd lobe piercing in both ears and it was about $20, plus tip. She sat me down, marked my ears, asked me to check it out in the mirror so I could see the placement for myself and then she free-handily pushed the needle through (no pierce gun). She has you take a deep breath and doesn't go until she knows your breath is right. A couple tips: 1. Screw back earrings hurt going in because of the threading. 2. Be prepared with your own earrings because you'll want to make sure they stay in the new piercing for a couple months as the piercing heals. 3. Call ahead even though walk-ins are welcome so they can tell you if Lisa is currently there and available. They'll also tell you a good time to swing by. read more

I got my septum and nostril pierced here and had a great experience. Both have healed nicely with no issues. Would recommend.

Walked in for a consultation that I had already scheduled, and the person had double booked the same time with a piercing. I started to tell him about the idea I had and before I even finished a sentence he just said no I can't do it. I was only asking for script on my forearm. I also tried getting some other ideas on how I could do it since he's supposed to be a tattoo artist but he was all shoulders like it was an impossible task. I was out in less than 3 minutes. Don't waste your time with this place. read more

Absolutely ADORE Lisa! My boss and I went in for piercings and Lisa made the whole experience super comfortable! I went in for a single nipple piercing and she closed everything off so that no one would see and made me feel super relaxed even though I was half naked in front of a complete stranger. She talks to you throughout the entire process and you see her change her gloves and grab everything she needs with such grace. And the best part of it all is that she does NOT clamp you! Lisa is the sweetest and i will definitely be coming back to her for more piercings! read more

I got my first two tattoos there recently and they came out absolutely beautiful!!! Raul, the tattoo artist, killed it and gave me exactly what I wanted!! read more

Daughters came in for birthday piercings. Best experience ever. Lisa is great. Will be coming back myself for piercings soon. Attempted another shop before studio 13 but their customer service sucked!. Studio 13 is all about customer service making you feel welcomed and explain after care in great detail. I recommend Studio 13 (Lisa) for all your piercing needs. read more

Raul is bomb! He did an amazing job on my tattoos (2 so far, more to come). I brought the ideas in and he sketched them out and inked them. He drew the one on my leg and foot freehand! Beautiful clean lines! read more

came here to get a septum and smiley done, was a great experience!! im a scaredy cat with needles but Lisa made it enjoyable. loved the environment, would definitely come back for more read more

i came here a few months ago to get my septum pierced and decided on a whim to get my belly done as well. the piercer is so sweet and easy to talk to, and she is the FASTEST piercer ever! it's over before you know it. neither hurt, probably because she's so quick and precise, or maybe i have a high tolerance, i'm really not sure. both of the piercings healed quickly and well. i love this piercer so much that i went back yesterday and got my nose and daith pierced by her! just as quick and efficient as the first time, no pain, and she was still as easy to talk to as before. i will never recommend another piercer! she is it. she's the queen of piercing. read more

Thank you Lisa for all your hard work!! If I need anything else pierced I'm going to you!! I'm also bringing my niece and sister too!!! read more

Raul the artists has terrible costumer service, the piercers pierce your piercings not to your correct anatomy, and the whole studio is just not customer welcome or friendly. They never answer the phone and the artists never get back to you. I recommend the Salinas Tattoo Company ask for (David) he's the best!!!!!!!! read more

I had a great experience with Lisa very informative and professional I got 2 micro dermal done by her my first piercing and she made me feel comfortable I would highly recommend her. read more

Lisa was cool, she Pierced my little ones ears. I prefer coming to a shop over going to a jewelry store. I feel that they're more sanitary and know what they're doing. I brought my other daughter here over 6 years again and they are super good and clean. Only paid 30 for her ears. read more

Went in for my first ever tattoo... I was so undecisive, I knew what I wanted, and where I wanted it, but I didnt know the exact size, font ect. And I wasnt sure I could handle actually getting the tattoo... First impression-) Tattoo artist--she goes by the name Bonkers this is a tough lookin woman who may not know what shes in for or have the patience for me, after all Im the girl afraid of all needles. But as soon as I talked to her that all changed... She saw what I wanted and talk about top notch service, she drew it up right then and there, sat me down n let me see from start to finish what the process was... She knew I was nervous and had lots of patience with me, she talked me through every step, encouraged me, and in the end helped get me through it with her jokes... She has such a smooth and gentle hand yet got the job done... It looks amazing.... it came out better than I could have imagined! She gave me her cell number and made sure to keep in contact to make sure everything was going good with the tattoo its still healing but I know if something looks off I can ask and believe me I have lots of questions lol... Beyond excellent customer service! Now I'm thinking of the endless possibilities and the newfound addiction she has instilled on me lol read more

I got my nose re-pierced by Lisa in February and she did a fantastic job. She pierced farther away from the end of my nose so the hoop would fit more snug. I have received dozens of compliments on the jewelry and the placement itself. Lisa is a professional and knows what she's doing and how to take care of her clients. I highly recommend! read more
