    our third piercing
    Andrea M.

    Before my friend and I came to oracle tattoo studio to get our third piercing , i checked the reviews and heard that everyone was great and nice there and they were right! I never got his name but our piercer was so nice to us and friendly. We had a couple of conversations throughout the service and always made sure to ask us if we were ready before he pierced us. But overall he did a great job on my friend and I . If you want to go get a piercing come here! Overall Great staff and environment!

    Just went in to do a Dark Souls tattoo came out feeling very lucky I chose such amazing artists. I will be getting all future tattoos there and you should too.

    Karin is an exceptional artist and she will be the only artist that will be placing ink on my skin. Karin was referred to me by a friend several years ago and I have been back several times. I brought w/me a brief explanation of what I was thinking of getting and Karin provided an idea that was absolutely beautiful. If you are looking for a piece of art you will be proud to have on your skin you must call Karin and set up a consult.

    Karin Ackerman has been my artist since 2011. Shes worked at many shops rated the best in san diego. Of my eight tattoos, shes done seven to include the project we're currently working on. Her realistic and neo-traditional work is unparalleled! She is a straight shooter, great artist and wonderful person. I will be hard pressed to find the same quality I've found in her and I highly reccomend her to anyone looking for new art, from your first tattoo to your fiftieth.

    Karin has been my one and only artist since 2011! I love my new sleeve tat! A few more sessions to go! She is the only one I'd recommend going to! Her talent and skills are on the same if not higher than most artist in the Southern California area!

    Karen is simply amazing!!! If you are looking for somebody who cares about bringing creativity to life, she's your lady. She's done two tattoos for me and they are more than what I expected. My piece in honor of my daughter is by far the best, she brought the memory of her to life.

    A tribute to my mother and grandmother!

    I recently had Evan pierce my belly button and thirds on my earlobes, and I couldn't be happier…read morewith the experience. From start to finish, he was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive. He took the time to help me choose the perfect jewelry for my anatomy, and the shop itself has an impressive selection to browse from. As a nurse, cleanliness is extremely important to me, and Evan truly prioritizes it. He showed me that all the jewelry was sterilized and worked within a proper sterile field during the piercings, which immediately put me at ease. The actual piercings were quick and effortless--no fuss, no discomfort, just smooth, precise work. I definitely recommend Evan to anyone looking for high-quality piercings in a clean, welcoming environment. I'll be coming back for more piercings in the future! Thank you Evan for doing my piercings!

This was an important thing for myself to do and this place was recommended to me by a coworker who had piercings done there. Very simply...everyone was helpful with the process. it was a busy time where people were walking in and almost filling the place up. I brought my husband and my kids (older kids like adults) to join me. I was assigned to Mateo. From beginning to end, he was very kind and made me feel comfortable for what I was about to do. Place was very clean, organized and had sterile rooms for the piercings. I really appreciated the privacy too. Every step Mateo took, he educated me and informed me every step he was about to do before the nose piercing began. Then it was over....and was very happy how it turned out and how supportive he was moving forward. I realize everyone else experience has been or will be different, but I think it is worth mentioning the good experiences for first timers like myself. Going back for a follow up to make sure all is fine (which I think it has been) and going for a second piercings on my ears. :)

I also got my vertical labret done and was initially not 100% satisfied with the placement (to no fault of lexy, i was just unsure what i would like) and she graciously took me back in to have it redone at no charge.

I understand that everybodies anatomy is different and it could cause a slight tilt on the piercing but it's been weeks since I got the piercing and looking at it now with no more swelling or redness it is almost ridiculous how off the piercing is. It's very obvious and disappointing how crooked it is. I even went home to my home piercer and even he left a comment saying that it was done very poorly. Loved the service and friendliness but unfortunately Im going to take out the piecing let it heal and then get it redone somewhere else. I want to prefaced that I really hate leaving a bad review and I tried to convince myself that it was fine but honestly just the comments I get from my friends and even another piercer about how it looks just kind of made me feel like I needed to share my honest experience.

I came in to get my earlobe re-pierced since the previous person that did it pierced my right earlobe all crooked. They did it with a piercing gun which is already a red flag for me. It was more embarrassing for me because I got fat earlobes also known as Buddha ears so it didn't sit right with me. Anyways I called up this spot and they directed me to their master piercer "G". This dude is super knowledgeable and actually took the time to measure my ears to make sure they were gonna be pierced correctly and within alignment. Then he explained the process and even recommended a longer earring due to my earlobes being fat, to give it room to swell without being smothered. Then he used a real piercing needle and pierced my ear effortlessly. After that he gave me detailed instructions on care and to even come back within a couple weeks to do a checkup to see if everything is aligned correctly. This is the guy to go to if you ever want to get any piercing. I highly recommend him and will be definitely going back and telling all my friends about the go to spot to get piercings. 10/10!!

    I had a really great experience, was nervous as it was a first piercing. This place does charge…read moremore than many others, mostly due to the premium jewelry. Piercing for lobes was $80, I've seen many other places more in the $30-$50 range. That said, I felt super comfortable. The inside was very clean and I was helped quickly with friendly staff. Bradlee did my ears and was excellent at placement and very little pain at all. Healing was quick and noneventful. The jewelry selection is awesome and extensive, but it is all BVLA which is best in class and priced as such. No single stud was rly less than $180, so be prepared to spend at least around $200 for any one earring. Everything felt very sterile and clean, if you're willing to pay a little premium I do think you get that experience.

We love that she let our group into the private room and she gave our other child a lollipop - a cute touch and kept her busy. This was the highlight of our experience, working with her. We were a walk in so that experience was a little overwhelming at first; having 2-3 people greet us, sign waivers and verbally explain the pricing to us. There was one main person that was just running through everything so quickly that I just couldn't register everything they were saying. I think it would be nice to have a visual price list to look at for our own pace while we make a decision. It felt pressured and rushed. But once we were actually taken care of by Lily and one other person, it didn't feel as overwhelming. Overall aside from the first part of the experience, it was fantastic. Our teen felt comfortable with Lily and it went so smoothly!
