My husband and I were on vacation in Oakland and had been wanting matching tattoos so did some research on many shops and this one seemed pretty good so we called and made an apt to go in. We did finger tattoos and they were the worst tattoo I've ever had! The simplest I've ever done and seriously the worst. Blotchy in a couple spots and no line at all on other parts. I did bring this to the attention of the shop and they said that's how finger tattoos come out and they suggested to go back to another shop and pay to have it fixed! I also did a piercing. That came out fine. No complaints at all. Definitely WOULD NOT recommend a tattoo at this place.

Just got my left ear helix done by Nash. The whole experience was so fun and inviting! Nash made me feel very comfortable and had great conversations with my partner and I. Will definitely be returning for all future piercings 😍

Love this place, a very high quality tattoo and piercing shop. I've been here for both tattoos and piercings and all the artists, piercers, and counter folk I've interacted with have been nice and helpful.
Having more experience with piercings here, they have a great selection of jewelry at a variety of price points, all high quality stuff (cheapest stud may be ~$30, highest I've seen is ~$125). To my knowledge, all piercers here are APP accredited (they have the paperwork up in the walls of the piercing rooms as well), so you can trust everything is clean. They also don't use piercing guns which is a huge green flag. Everyone I've encountered has been knowledgeable and the tattoo artists and piercers I've had have taken the time to carefully explain care instructions.
Take note can get pretty busy after 4 (wait times for a piercing can go upwards of 30 minutes) and they only take walk-ins for piercings, so come with ample time or come earlier in the day. The only place I trust to get pierced!

My 10 Year old had a great experience getting her ears pierced here, and they've healed great. We came here because they pierce young people, with a guardian accompanying and birth certificate, for ears and they do not use piercings guns, which I support.

Exceptionally clean, very professional, and everyone working there was friendly. Marina pierced my daughter's ears and she was wonderful at working with her, explaining the process, and giving her full control over her decisions. I'll definitely be going back, but next time it'll be for my next tattoo!

Took my daughter to get her ears pierced, and doing it with a needle was so, so, so much better than doing it with a piercing gun at a mall store. Together with the earrings, it cost $150, but they are healing perfectly and the pain level seemed way better than with the piercing gun. Everyone was super cool and helpful, and she now has pierced ears!

A great place for piercings I'm sure for tattoos as well. My daughter had her ears pierced and the service was really excellent. I will definitely go back!!

Great! I just got my ears pierced which is a simple procedure. However it was my first piercing they were totally kind and careful and made sure I knew everything up front. Awesome staff. Would recommend.

I'm very impressed at the inclusivity and non-judgmental attitudes of this tattoo shop. I had been avoiding getting a piercing checked out for months because all my local places blame me for them not healing (soaked it too often, soaked it too little, didn't change the ring, did change the ring), but here they did what I needed and sympathised. Since they require ID, they also ask if you use a different name/gender than your ID would indicate. Walk-ins welcome; I waited about 25 minutes.
