    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!

    My fiance and I went in for back to back appointments today. My fiance was getting his first…read morepiercing -- a septum piercing, and I was going in initially to get my tragus done. Dan was incredible through and through. He explained everything very thoroughly to my partner and what to expect with healing. He even explained what the best type of jewelry was to start with given my fiancé's line of work in having to keep piercings hidden. For me, Dan took into consideration my profession and how a tragus may not be the best choice given that I have a stethoscope in my ears a lot. He suggested a conch piercing instead and I went with it. It was SO quick and effortless. Dan was incredible and I will be booking all my future appointments with him. He was so kind and it shows that he's really invested in this line of work and very passionate about his craft.

    UPDATE: I've been coming to Enigma for years, and Evan is an excellent piercer. My review came from…read moregenuine disappointment at how much the overall experience has changed. That's why I genuinely taken aback by the length and tone of their response below. I'm not quite sure what they intended it to prove My review doesn't claim that they never replied. It explicitly says that I eventually received a response over a week later. I emailed them a few times during that time. By my third message, I'd explained the piercing was red, bleeding and producing green discharge, and that I was considering urgent care but understood it was better to consult the piercer first. I asked what I should do. I could have just come into the shop, but wanted to be respectful and ask first. A reply ten days after my first email isn't useful aftercare. In their public response below, Enigma claims that they first replied on May 26. After posting that response, they emailed me privately. They didn't repeat the May 26 claim in their email but did attach screenshots of their previous replies. Both screenshots are dated June 5, so 10 days after my original email. May 26 is the date I emailed them, not a reply from them. I've checked my inbox to make sure and there is no response from Enigma on May 26. They also admit that another more recent email "slipped through the cracks." When they finally replied on June 5, one email gave me Evan's working days and the other advised coming in to change the ring to a straight post. But by then, the problem had already healed up, so the advice was no longer useful. My complaint isn't about what they eventually said, it's that it took ten days and repeated messages to receive any help. Honestly, if the intention was to show that my review was unfair, sending me evidence of the very thing I complained about is an odd way to go about it. I stand by every word.

    This review is specifically for Heavy Metal Piercing inside of Ink Mindset!!!…read more I can't say enough great things about Gerard. He has done pretty much all of my ear piercings and I genuinely wouldn't trust anyone else. His bedside manner is incredible...he's patient, knowledgeable, reassuring, and always takes the time to make sure you're comfortable and completely happy with your piercing. Gerard also has such a great eye for placement and styling. He always gives thoughtful recommendations based on what will look best with my ear anatomy and existing piercings, and his jewelry selection is absolutely stunning, seriously some of the most beautiful and unique pieces I've ever seen. What really sets Gerard apart is how much he genuinely cares about his clients. He never rushes the experience, answers every question, and makes you feel like you're in the best hands from beginning to end. He's incredibly talented, professional, kind, and just an awesome person all around. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your piercings, go see Gerard to help you build a beautiful earscape, can't recommend him enough!

Great work! Now I am on to other projects with her. The shop has a very chill vibe. Again, Hazel has been great, she is sweet, kind and listens to what you want. My tolerance is about 3 hours in the chair, and she is ok with that. She doesn't try to pressure me or make me feel like a p@#sy! I would highly recommend her to anyone! I will continue coming back to her! Thanks Hazel!!

I've been wanting to get my industrial pierced for foreverrrr and after scouring the internet, I found Body Art Salon! As soon as I walked in, Wael was so welcoming and walked me through every part of the piercing process. I was a little nervous since I haven't gotten pierced in over two years, but the actual piercing was so quick and easy! He also noticed that my daith was infected (got that at another place) and was kind enough to clean it, along with my other piercings for me!! This is also the only place I've been to where you only pay for the jewelry and the service includes a cleaning kit and aftercare instructions!!! Overall, you can see how much love and care Wael puts into his work and into making his clients feel comfortable. I'm so appreciative of him and of the whole experience! Thank you so much again and can't wait to come back!

    When I started looking for somewhere to get my ears pierced, I specifically wanted a piercing…read morestudio rather than a tattoo shop. Rose Body Piercing was exactly what I was looking for. It's a nice space that focuses on piercing, and I felt comfortable as soon as I walked in. I called about two weeks ahead to schedule and was sent a link to book online. I was able to get the exact date and time I wanted and received both email and text confirmations/reminders before my appointment. I booked with Brielle! I went on a Saturday morning and there was plenty of metered street parking available. The building is gated, but they send you instructions ahead of time explaining how to get in, so it was easy to find my way. The studio itself is small but really cute, and both the studio and piercing room felt very clean. I came in to get a third piercing on both of my earlobes. Brielle showed me the jewelry options first, and there was a nice selection at different price points. After filling out a form, we went into the piercing room. She cleaned my ears, wore gloves, and I felt completely comfortable with the hygiene process. She took her time marking the placement of both piercings and let me look in the mirror and approve everything before she started. She also talked me through what she was doing before and during the piercing, which helped me feel relaxed. I wouldn't say it was painless , but it was very quick and simple! Afterward, she explained how to care for the piercings and gave me saline solution to take home, which also has the aftercare directions on the bottle. I'll need to come back in about 4-6 weeks to have the backs downsized. Brielle was friendly, professional and made the whole experience really easy. Most importantly, I was very happy with the placement and how my earrings looked when I left. I would definitely recommend Rose Body Piercing and would come back here for any future piercings!
