    I didn't wait long and my ear piercing came out wonderful. It was such a wonderful atmosphere. Please come get your piercing here

    Lisa is amazing, have been coming to her for my piercings for 16 years! She's the only person I trust. 10/10.

    second lobe piercing done by lisa
    Jenna D.

    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.

    daith piercing done by lisa (all of mine were done elsewhere)

    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

    I came as a walk in for a septum piercing and they took me in basically right away I had a great time and they had a great atmosphere.

    Raul did a superb job on my two tattoos. He had me triple check the spelling on my Latin script and he took special care to make sure my tattoo for my kids was perfect. May not show well in the photo but the little blue bird has so much definition. Absolutely love it!!

    Are tattoos only by appointment or do you take walk ins?

    Appointment only and walk-ins for piercings

    How much for both ear lobe piercings?

    When I had gone in it was $20 a lobe

    Do they do smiley piercings for fully vaccinated clients?

    I'm fully vaccinated and they did mine, it healed amazing and was done quick and easy

    Do they pierce by needle or gun needle and how much is it to get pierced on a earlobe?

    Professional piercer's never use guns. This place only ever uses needles, if you go into a "professional" piercing studio and they pull out a piercing gun, run!

    Can you get a nose piercing as a minor? If so what kind of permission does the minor need?

    I got both of mine done here when I was 16, you just need the signature of a parent and for them to be present.

    How much would they charge for a daith piercing with jewelry?

    It depends on the Jewelry u want. But it's about the $60 range.

Fast forward almost six months later, and my tragus piercings still have not healed. While the swelling improved, they remained very irritated and would still bleed. I initially assumed it was from my hair getting caught or accidentally bumping them. Recently, I decided to have the jewelry changed and went to Studs in San Jose. The piercer there informed me that the jewelry that was used was not the correct one for the type of piercing. She mentioned most piercings should have straight posts, not curved ones like the ones that were used. I was also told the earrings were not hypoallergenic and that titanium or gold is typically recommended for new piercings. Learning this was extremely frustrating, especially after dealing with discomfort and slow healing for months. Unfortunately, due to this experience, I will not be returning and would not recommend this shop for piercings.

If you…read moreare reading this review I will assume you are a serious tattoo aficionado who respects/appreciates a true artist. Everyone has their personal opinion about tattoos. And if you are a person reading reviews of tattoo artists hoping to find a person to trust with putting art on your body that is permanent I can't recommend enough the value of coming to this studio to see Marlo. She is a true artist. Tattooing to me should represent a spiritual experience with the artist. Trust in them to put on your body a piece of art that fits you. Something that matches your unique life and personality. Well, Marlo does all that. No stencils. Just free drawing an extension of my heart onto my body to remind me of my strength and resilience. She told me more meanings and I was absolutely touched at the insight she had into me as a woman. She created a visual representation that is so beautiful. Does getting a tattoo hurt? Yes. Of course it does. But Marlo is an amazingly caring professional and will stop as needed to check in on you and take breaks if necessary. But don't go into it thinking it isn't going to hurt. That is just silly. Some parts hurt less than others of course and everyone has their pain tolerance. But be realistic peeps, come on now! Be safe and enjoy life! SYOY!

    I am beyond HAPPY and in LOVE with my tattoo!!…read more Marlo is welcoming, professional, and clearly extremely passionate about her art work. She genuinely took the time to make you feel comfortable and safe. She understood exactly what I wanted and what I wanted it to represent, and executed the design flawlessly! Her line work and shading are top-tier, and hygiene standards were excellent! Earthbound Tattoo brings on good and positive vibes, and is great with communication! If you're looking for a skilled, reliable tattoo artist, she is the one for you! Marlo - I am so honored to have the privilege to get this beautiful art piece from you! You and Le are genuinely great people! Keep doing what you both are excellent at! Aloha & Mahalo! 'til next time

I could not be happier with deciding to trust her with this piece. Her execution was amazing, and her process was thorough. Every step was well thought out; she even measured my arm during our consult to make sure her drawings would match my anatomy and be ready for our session. She was meticulous with her placement to ensure the flow of the whole piece was good and that it would be visually pleasing from any angle. Her shop is immaculate and is beautifully decorated with her drawings. Hygiene and cleanliness were handled very professionally. I love the 1 on 1 atmosphere of the shop. Made the experience feel more intimate and comfortable. After multiple 6-hour sessions, I can say she's really fun to hang out with, and time flies at her shop! She tattoos in multiple styles and has such an incredible ability to visualize art. I will definitely be returning for more work from her!

If I could give her 10 stars, I would!
