I just got my septum pierced with Bruce over the weekend and it was a wonderful experience…read more The pricing was extremely transparent and reasonable. I was really nervous after having a horrible first time septum piercing where the piercer pierced my septum crooked, hit the cartilage and then blamed my nose shape. I've wanted a cartilage for quite some time so I decided to get a second opinion and I'm really glad I did. Bruce was extremely knowledgeable and re-assuring. He took a look and told me I could probably get one but he would verify once he was able to check my nose. He was able to immediately determine the septum spot was higher up. The pain was extremely minimal. I really appreciated that Bruce walked me through every step of the process. I'll definitely be back.

I got my first tattoo about 2 years ago. I specifically wanted fine line work done and I had been…read moresearching around for fine line artists that fit my style and would work with me. I was actually referred to THS by multiple people so I looked into them and found Endry. His work really impressed me and my boyfriend who was also a tattoo artist back in the day. So I booked an appt to have a very simple roman numeral tattoo done under my collarbone. The booking process was actually very easy and the shop worked with me. There's a $200 minimum and there's a $100 deposit that you Venmo before the appointment is made. I honestly found the booking process super smooth and easy. If you can find it, there's metered parking right in front of the shop which is super convenient. I honestly love the vibe of this place. Endry was so kind and welcoming and made my first tattoo the best experience it could've been (also want to note I have a needle phobia so this is a legit compliment). I have since seen Endry multiple times for more extensive work. Endry is truly an incredible artist who really puts care and consideration into each piece. You can tell he really cares about his craft and I have so much respect for that. Working with him has been a pleasure and I look forward to my next session with him. I actually recently got my forearm done with a beautiful fine line floral wrap and I am still in awe at the photorealistic detail in the flowers. I found my artist and my place and I would 100% recommend going here whether it's your first or you're looking to continue on in your tattoo journey.

Honestly, just not a great Tattoo. I sent them the original picture and told the guy it doesn't…read moreneed to be exactly like that, we can style it a little bit. Showed him a few AI examples and he had me send him one that he/we thought looked cool. I didn't really put a ton of thought into it just figured "sure. Do your thing with it." I probably should've noticed the AI flaw in the stencil, but, as my regular artist pointed out, he definitely should have noticed, especially since he had the original photo. A little miscommunication but oh well. On top of that it's really really light so I'm going to have to have my normal artist fix it and touch it up. I wasn't even going to leave a review because it's partly my fault, and I don't really care that much, but like my normal artist pointed out, he's supposed to notice these kind of things. Then I realized the only reason I don't really care is because it's somewhere not normally visible. If it was on my arm I would be horrified. Other than that, they were cool, the booking process was easy, and reasonably priced. Also the shop was super clean which is important to me so 3-stars

The piercing I got went super well and is healing up great. The shop is clean and is Association of Professional Piercers certified. Look them up if you're unfamiliar with the APP's standards.

My first two appointments with her (one for jewelry down size/replacement & the other for piercing/down size/jewelry removal) as she is kind, gentle, professional, but most of all funny and lovely as ever Ivy has down sized SO MANY piercings on this ear and my other ear (which looks kinda similar to this one *lots of piercings* but different). She also switched out a hoop for the leaf cuff Ivy is detailed, delicate with her work and really cares for her clients like a lot 10/10 recommend and will be going back, thank you, Ivy :)

I just had my 20th and 21st piercings done at Body Electric and I have to say, Brian is hands-down…read morethe best piercer I've ever gone to. He was warm, patient and incredibly professional. He walked me through everything in such a calm, confident way that the whole experience felt easy. His technique is outstanding. This is the first time after all my piercings that I woke up the next day with absolutely no pain. ZERO! Both placements are perfect and you can see the care he puts into every detail. I've been pierced all over LA. Yes, Brian is on the pricier side, but you truly get what you pay for. The quality, precision and overall experience make it more than worth it. I won't go anywhere else. He also did my teen's belly piercing and it came out flawless. She even said her ears hurt more than her belly. If you have a child who wants their ears, nose or belly pierced, I would take them to Brian without hesitation. He's a parent himself and has a natural, easy way with kids that makes them feel comfortable right away. I'd recommend him to anyone, whether it's your first piercing or your twentieth. The jewelry selection is on point, and he even offered for us to come back so he could clean our jewelry for us. That's real five-star service. We couldn't be happier with the whole experience.

I had such a great experience at Maria Tash, and I have to specifically shout out Reagan!…read more She was honestly amazing from start to finish. She was so patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful without ever being pushy. I came in a little unsure of what I wanted, and she took the time to walk me through different options, styling ideas, and what would actually suit me best. You can tell she really knows her stuff, but also has a great eye. Everything she suggested felt very thoughtful and elevated, not just trying to sell something. She made the whole experience feel really comfortable and fun, which I feel like makes such a difference, especially when you're deciding on jewelry or piercings. If you go, definitely ask for Reagan because she's the absolute best

I will first say that my tattoo came out very well despite the poor customer service and rudeness I…read morefaced. These guys know what they're doing, but the bedside manner needs a revamp. When looking into the tattoo I was considering getting I asked the artist for a price estimate. He gave me an incredibly vague answer and left me uneasy to ask further. As though I was bothering him. I then picked a tattoo option from one of their designs and he printed stencils. He proceeds to tell me because I "didn't ask about the price for this one" it will be $150 instead of $200. So keep that in mind if you brave this place. I then went to stand on a box for my tattoo to be stenciled and was rudely corrected on my posture. It wasn't "can you please put your hands to the side" it was pure annoyance that I wasn't perfectly positioned with minimal instruction. The tattoo is on my ankle and when I went to put my foot up on the table while wearing my shoe I was no joke SCREAMED AT. I asked previously about my shoe and thought the answer was it was ok, especially since the table was wrapped for sanitary purposes. Once I set up at the table he began to tattoo me. I was scolded for moving (I understand the frustration) but it was involuntary. Mind you as an ankle tattoo this one was going to be painful and I was aware. The other artist working even defended me because it wasn't intentional. I was repeatedly told I would "fuck up your tattoo" and "it's hard to make straight lines when you move." Like no shit, but also there was no communication on how long, what he was doing, etc. so I was just doing my best. I repeatedly I apologized and was deep breathing and doing everything in my power to stay still and make it easy. I swear he just wanted to torture me. It was almost pathetic. Anyways, all this to say the tattoo came out great but the experience was horrendous. Really upsetting and think this place could do a lot better if they were kinder to their customers. Update per Rocco's reply': Not asking to be coddled, just to be treated with human decency. Have had plenty of pleasant tattoo experiences elsewhere. Your response speaks for itself. Also he wasn't even in the room when I was snapped at...

You can do metered parking up front or find free residential parking. Just make sure to read the signs! I got my ears pierced here, and I brought a few friends and family here as well. Chontel is amazing and so incredibly helpful. You can follow her and ask her questions about aftercare. Make sure to get your piercings downsized if they recommend it! It's $10 for the post and $5 for the piercing disc. Whenever Chontel isn't there, Lara is there, and she is also just as amazing and insightful as Chontel! Usually, the piercers are there from opening time until 8 pm, but you can always ask or text them to see if they are in for that day!

I came in with an idea and she made it come to life. It was a painless tattoo. Felt like an animal scratch during the process. The other artist there seemed nice too. I believe he was the owner But he was very attentive to his artist AND the patrons. I was asked if I wanted anything to drink about 3 times while I was there which made it nice to have as well. The vibe of the studio was nice too. It was open and clean and I liked the fresh air I was able to breath Since the main door/gate stayed opening to the man street public. All in all for a tattoo that was simple/fine line and also on the transit route. This tattoo shop was the a great addition to my trip. I would definitely recommend.

She did my navel piercing three years ago, and I still remember how helpful she was with explaining aftercare. Anytime I had a question during the healing process and called, she was always so kind and happy to help. Fast forward to a few days ago -- I irritated that same piercing after switching to a short barbell when it fell out, and it got super swollen. I hadn't been to Through Your Skin in years, but I called anyway because I had no idea what to do... and Kristi immediately offered to help. She switched it back to the original barbell she pierced it with (for an amazing price), and as soon as she changed it, it already felt so much better. She explained exactly what to do to bring the swelling down -- and it totally worked. I was honestly so relieved I came in. It saved the day! While I was there, she also changed out a piercing I had just gotten a few days before at another shop (I didn't love how it looked), and helped me pick out a new piece of jewelry for it that I'm obsessed with. They have such a great selection of jewelry too -- so many cute and high-quality options to choose from! She even replaced a missing ball on my helix piercing -- seriously, she went above and beyond. This place has always been super fairly priced, and you can tell they really care about their clients. Kristi is so sweet, knowledgeable, and makes you feel safe and taken care of. I'll always come back here for piercings and would recommend this spot to literally everyone!
