He was extremely professional, calm, and reassuring throughout the entire process. He explained everything he was doing in a way that kept my niece happy, comfortable, and relaxed. I was especially impressed by how knowledgeable Mike was about the anatomy of the ear. It was very obvious that he truly loves his profession and takes great pride in his work. He knew exactly what he was doing, carefully considered placement and anatomy, and his level of knowledge and confidence made us feel completely comfortable trusting him. I was also incredibly impressed with how clean and sterile everything was. The piercing room was spotless, aseptic technique was used perfectly, and every tool used for the piercing was individually wrapped and sterilized prior to use. As someone who really pays attention to cleanliness and proper technique, this made me feel completely at ease. The woman at the front desk was also wonderful--organized, professional, patient, and so sweet to work with. She helped my very indecisive daughter choose her jewelry and never made her feel rushed. We had such a positive experience from beginning to end. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone considering a piercing. Between Mike's knowledge, professionalism, attention to detail, and the incredibly clean environment, we couldn't have been happier with our experience!

I feel so late finding out that Sin opened up a shop in Stockton. I don't even know how long it's…read morebeen open for. If I knew I would've came sooner or even for the grand opening. I love to support small businesses, especially knowing it's an Oakland native business owner who I've supported since her earlier days. I'm talking 10+ years ago when I got my first piercing (belly) done by her before she blew up big! Again, being an Oakland native, I only moved to Stockton about 3 years ago. So it's good knowing she has a shop out here for future reference. I came in sometime a week in a half ago. After scrolling through my Yelp looking for a piercing place. To my surprise I found this location and it said Stockton, ca and I couldn't believe it.. I got lucky and I guess it was a promo day when I came in? I wouldn't know because I don't have social media, but I know Sin always has the best deals on piercings period. It was $10 any piercing + free standard jewelry. When I arrived to this cute ass little pink gated, pink building. There were quite a few cars outside. The piercer who pierced me was clean, her work area was clean, she sanitized every thing in front of me, walked me through the process yada yada yada. I personally just feel that as much money as the owner makes. The seating area in the middle is cute though, with the little tea tables and the cherry blossoms hanging, then her neon light sign. That was a vibe. She has a toy/play area for the kiddos which is greatly appreciated so they aren't bored waiting. So many photo opportunities with cute backgrounds. I did a walk around to see the jewelry selection in the display cases, It's been updated and she has a large selection of options. Overall glad she has a shop here in the valley for my personal convenience, staff was nice, I recommend if you're in the area and looking to get pierced

Will definitely come back to Lucy if I decide on more piercings.

3/24/25 at about 5pm (so they can remember me) me and my family came in for a nose and ear…read morepiercings. We were told there was no person there to pierce and i should of left after that was said but a young guy walked up and said he could. Went through the paper work process and something told me to ask his age and experience. To my surprise he was 17 years old with 1 year experience. Now yes as a full adult with kids I had my own reservations about allowing this kid yo pierce me but i was like its a needle how bad could this be. Had it been a stomach or other parts that needed more care I would of said no. This is in my opinion. Once set we went to the back and he had his table set up. I looked over at his table and felt like he was missing something. I asked him about the "tongs" (i don't know the proper term they use) but he said he doesn't use it as it gets in the way. He prefers to just stick the needle in and pull it out. After finding the spot i wanted, he told me to tell him to start. Needle went through no problem however after about a minute of him playing with my nose he figured he wasn't going to be able yo detach the needle from the earring. MY LUCK! Side eye. He proceeds to pull and twist my nose to get this needle again and still no success. He then asks can he pull everything out and just place the earring in. Unfortunately i say yes. He pushes the earring and guess what HE CANT PUSH IT THROUGH! I am sitting here trying to save face due yo my son being scared of getting his ears pierced. This is going horribly wrong and I blame myself. They also price all over the place! I was told $30 from someone on instagram and he said $50 in person. We ask for a manager they said no one was present. I told him i would leave a review and he should definitely go back to school for this. If u need any piercing please continue to JUST A POKE around a couple of corners. The place is soley focused on it.

At Uptown Ink, Cesar anxiously asks me again if I didn't want to split up the session…read more "I'm afraid you're going to make this into a bad experience." I hold firm and arrive on time for my appointment. "You didn't bring anybody with you?" "No... Was I supposed to?" "Well, girls usually bring somebody with them." He recounts the customers who bring 10 people with them and how he makes them rotate through the room. One tatt is a quote on my side and another is of two doves. I told him I wanted "cute doves" and he drew them for me. My one of a kind doveys. My piercer has no piercings. I inquire about them suspiciously. "I took them out cause I was a bouncer for a while and I didn't want anybody to be grabbing anything." Legitimate reason enough. Each cartilage piercing hurt more than the proceeding one: by the third one, I no longer felt the tattoos; by the fifth one I was mentally blowing off plans to gym later; by the sixth ring, I had decided, overdose or not, I am going to go home and drug myself with painkillers. To sum up the experience, in 2 hours, I had gotten 6 piercings and 2 tattoos for $240. Cheers, my friends, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. That brought my piercings up to 19. The artist and the piercer both told me I was going down in their books. I guess it was kind of nuts. I trust them with my tattoos and piercings and you can too.

Bobby does an amazing job and really takes the time to make sure you are happy! Bobby and all staff are so friendly and welcoming! I usually am a bleeder and peel a lot after a tattoo. But both tattoos by Bobby healed BEAUTIFULLY and didn't peel at all which was amazing! I will definitely be back and definitely recommend Bobby. My ONLY complaint... is the shop is cash only... which isn't a huge deal... BUT their on site ATM only dispenses (I think) $300 at a time... and tattoos aren't often less than that price... so you have to do multiple transactions and pay multiple transaction fees to take cash out from their ATM. So, plan ahead and get cash out elsewhere if you can.

So last Saturday after a couple of appointments, I asked my daughter. Do you wanna go get tattoo. We ended up at Emerald in Manteca. We walked in we felt welcomed. Anona was the artist that they hooked us up with. I totally loved her ride from the moment we met her my daughter shoulder what she wanted I explained to her I wanted to show a little draft of the cross. She told us to give her about 25 to 30 minutes. She came back with the drawings. It was exactly how we envisioned them. They were beautiful. She started to work on us in the conversation with her was awesome. She understood what we were looking for. May feel really comfortable. As well as the rest of the team did as well there was another family and they're getting tattoos together also and I think we all bonded over our tattooing. The work here is phenomenal. The place is clean. There's a love great artist there. You definitely will find someone that meet your vibe and what you're looking for. I definitely will be back in the future for any work that I wanna have completed. She makes some sick work. It is awesome. I don't think I wanna get tattooed by anyone else.
