Teen daughter wanted thirds k. Both ears and a double helix. Came here because was hoping she could use her old piercing studs to save some $. Turns out we couldn't but it's ok. Amar was so gentle and patient and informative. I think her calm and nurturing demeanor helped prepare my daughter mentally, which is huge given the upper ear is a whole different experience from the lines. Don't ever go get your piercings at the mall again! Come to zebra! We will back for several more upper ear in a few months. read more

Drove all the way up to get mt baby's ears pierced. The front door is gated off and theres an attendant to direct you through the process. Once at the counter, there was a friendly staff to walk us through the selection process and check my baby's ears for suitability. She let us choose a jewelery and backing, and there were so many options. Shebalso answered all our questions before we were directed ti the register to pay. From there, we waited to be called up for the piercing. The wait is a bit long but is ubder 30 minutes. While waiting, I looked around and notice the shop is very clean and well organized. They have a price list on the wall and their piercings are decently priced. The piercing went well and thwy were so attentive and will definitely come back for future piercings ans def would recommend them. read more

Came early so there was no line (note they open at 1130 not 10am). Our service was very quick but the process requires a little bit of extra time. We were in and out in about 30 mins. Easy parking in the morning too! We had gotten a piercing roughly six weeks ago. It is healing well. Today, we got our bars shortened (something you do after a month for $10/ear because bars are longer at time of piercing to allow for swelling), great experience our piercer was kind and patient and overall awesome. We also got a bottle of solution for free. Thanks Zebra! read more

Got ears pierced for both my baby girls here (one a few months ago and another 2 years ago). The eldest was about 13 months old while the other was 7 months. I totally recommend getting the ears pierced when they are younger and easier to hold down. Regardless, after a bit of crying, they were fine (especially if there's a lollipop). It can be a little pricey but totally worth it. Both girls had no issues with their ears afterwards. I bought the aftercare and used it once or twice... but didn't really need it. The piercer definitely knows what he's doing and tries to be ninja and quick. There was a little bit of bleeding with the second kid but it was fine. I got flatbacks for both kids, but I sorta wish I went with the butterfly back for one. If you do flatback, a slightly longer flatback (forgot what it was called) will be used.. and that's to accommodate the possible swelling of the earlobe. You're supposed to come back about a one month later to switch out the flatback for a shorter length (that should be about $10 for labor). Oh yeah, they have a selection of earrings you can choose from that are cute. Both times we went for their piercings, we went on the weekends and in the late afternoon to early evening. The wait wasn't long. We did go again NYE and was surprised it was a long wait. Anyways, highly recommend this place for baby piercing. Stay clear of Claire's or any place that uses a gun. I think it's worth paying a little bit more for ears not to be infected and for it to be done right. read more

As far as the service, the Accredited Piercer (Marina Muller) starts to disinfect the ear & mark the ear. There was a little confusion from Marina bc for the on-line sign up form it asks what service you want done & which ear. Marina forgot to ask & confirm w/my daughter which ear she wanted pierced. As soon as this was cleared up, the process went very smoothly. As far as the price, it was a birthday piercing special for $18 each service & my daughter decided on 2 piercings. The earrings were an additional fee. The store is well kept, neat & the customer service was good, just be attentive to the actual piercings when the credited piercer does the work.

The day I got my piercing it looks pretty nice and she did a great job. My objective was to go for 2Pac style kind of nose piercing.

You may have the perfect image for him, but he'll make it perfect on perfect, throwing in a shadow here, some blending there, and cool convos all-around. 13 years experience and an evil following to prove it. Thank you Mert!!!

Went in for an appointment and was nicely approached by a guy that said he was not the artist but…read morewould make sure she understood my asks. The tattoo was $800 for lettering that took two hours!!! (Pick shows only 1/4) Lady was nice, good English (she was Turkish), but the lettering was slanted and not where I wanted it so she redid the placement. She said that she would do little tweeks (i asked for) along the way, like pulling down one of the letters a tiny bit. Nope Some letter connect, some don't, thin lines, thick lines...im ok with it b/c I wanted it so bad. She was doing a tattoo before and one after and had someone waiting for her, because this first guy was the owner and hanging out with a buddy while she did all the work. I saw her take a 15 min dinner break standing up, before I was in her chair. She gets 20% commission folks. Don't do it. I felt bad for her and snuck her a tip, so he couldn't get it. I have friends in the business, and the people would take 60%max and that was for an apprenticeship. It's a f@#king shame.

After a somewhat disturbing medical procedure I needed urgent help putting jewelry back in - I had…read moretried another place and they were so brusque and outrageously expensive that I reached out to Primal Instincts based on Yelp reviews and I'm SO glad I did - 'La Cinistera' was so kind and professional - she was able to see me right away and her fees were exceedingly reasonable. She helped me recover from my unnerving day and I honestly can't recommend this studio or 'La Cinistera' more. My Yelp reviews tend to be more measured but in this case I truly feel my experience rates 5 stars. Thank you Primal Instincts and thank you 'Cinistera', I am deeply appreciative.

We arrived a bit early and it was fun to see how big the space actually is. So many tiny tattoo rooms. Vibrant yet dark. Cool but clean. Super cool vibe. Kristie was very professional and I felt like I was in great hands. She covered how the piercing would be done and what I needed to do for aftercare. I had NO issues with my piercing post visit. Healed up excellent! I highly recommend. I would go for tattoo's as well, but cannot cheat on my local artist. If he retires, I will definitely give them a try. They have so many artists that cover just about any tattoo you could want. Highly recommend!

I do not recommend anyone get tattooed by Maxx Slaughter. He is a person who does tattoos not a…read moretattoo artist. He botched my tattoo and even though it's only a year old it looks 10 years old. He tried to blame it on my skin saying different areas take ink differently when the real problem was he didn't stretch the skin enough which led to spotty and inconsistent linework and he did a horrible job with shading it in which was pointed out to me by everyone with eyes. I've since had it fixed by Courtney at Hot Honey Tattoo who is an ARTIST who understands that she is PERMANENTLY altering someone's body. I can finally wear tank tops again without feeling embarrassed.
