Mission Ink Tattoo & Piercing

Experiencia fantástica: My friend was in the city visiting and on a whim we popped in to see if they had time for a walk-in because she wanted her septum done. Jake welcomed us in, was super professional and obviously very good at his job. My friend had trouble with septum piercing before because of the shape of her nose and septum, and he was able to work with her anatomy to make a piercing that looked really straight and fit her face so well. Then we both got earlobes too. He was quick and smooth with it and the whole thing was practically pain free. Cute little shop right in the heart of the mission.

Experiencia fantástica: Extremely knowledgeable and helpful! One quick conversation made it clear these are good folks Would absolutely come back

Experiencia fantástica: Jake was great! Professional, friendly, courteous, informative. Quick and painless procedure. Very clean and sterile place. Walk-ins welcome . M-W. Thanks Jake!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Got a piercing here. Good experience. The piercer was very knowledgeable and I've had no issues

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely amazing experience. I got my tattoo done in July. My artist was Ariel, and they were very kind, patient, and listened to me ramble. This was my first ever tattoo and I was incredibly nervous but they listened to me yap away. Was willing to work on sizing, placement, and re-printing the stencil. barely hurt at all and took around 2 hours. Incredibly sanitary, quick, and painless. My tattoo was 200$ before tip (amazing price). Pics shown are fresh, and 6 months healed. I will be back for another tattoo soon!

Experiencia fantástica: This was my first time here and everyone had a really cool vibe. Guilherme was a great artist he was funny to talk to and had good technique. The tattoo also came out amazing, would definitely recommend!

Experiencia negativa: The man is incredibly rude. He pierced my tongue twice because the earring post fell off on the first try and he started cursing like crazy. You can't pierce your tongue more than once.

Experiencia fantástica: Great vibe. G was awesome, fun to work with. Did my daughter's first tattoo, and mine to match. Going back again soon.

Experiencia fantástica: Guillermo did my tattoo he was very good friendly and experienced did excellent work staff very friendly also I was happy and will return for my next tattoo

Experiencia fantástica: Came here to get a two week old, angled piercing fixed and Jake was so excellent and helpful. I wish I had just got it done here instead of the other shop.

Experiencia fantástica: Very professional 10/10 very satisfied with my tattoo. I’m coming in for all my tattoos in the future + piercing

Experiencia fantástica: Great work! Olex was patient friendly and very talented. I have been back 4 times!

Experiencia positiva: I had my conch pierced recently by Salomé, she was very professional and walked me through every step of how to care for my new piercing. She was very thorough and knew how to ease any anxiety I had; I felt comfortable to ask her all of my questions. She also helped me to choose the right jewelry for my conch and even anodized the jewelry to my color preference! The front desk person was also very friendly and approachable, and I felt super safe and welcomed. HOWEVER, I didn't have the greatest experience when I came back to Mission Ink a second time. I am still rather new to getting pierced and I felt that the person who downsized my jewelry (I didn't get their name as they didn't introduce themselves) during my second visit was slightly rude towards me and suggested that I was not taking care of my piercings as I should've been, despite carefully following the instructions from Salomé/the aftercare card I was given from her during my prior appointment. I totally understand giving customers feedback and tips on best practices, but you shouldn't be condescending to paying customers. I didn't feel 100% comfortable asking questions about how I should be treating my piercing because of this interaction. This person also suggested that Salomé didn't have as much experience or expertise as them, which made me feel even more uncomfortable. I am not sure I would go back to this specific piercer. **I would still choose to go to Mission Ink should I be interested in getting a new piercing or tattoo despite my recent experience Calling ahead is important because it can get quite busy! I would recommend Mission Ink to other people, weekends are best though. Highly recommended booking an appointment with Salomé!

Experiencia fantástica: Came in for a walk in labret piercing, Jake was super clean, professional, meticulous. He made sure to answer all of my questions beforehand to ease any unnecessary anxiety and the whole process was over super quickly! 10/10 would go again

Experiencia fantástica: Ariel is a great artist! She made me very comfortable and the price was good.

Experiencia negativa: I was having a hard time getting the door open to the shop today, there was a lady inside and I pointed to the door to ask if she could let me in and then in a very rude attitude she says the door is open. So I just left. I planned on getting a piercing here but I will not be coming back. It costs nothing to be nice.

Experiencia positiva: Updated review in 2025: I went back to Mission Ink for a new ear piercing since my last one wasn’t spaced the way I wanted. The piercer understood right away, and the new piercing was quick and turned out great. A few weeks in, the healing process is going smoothly, which I attribute to the piercer's skill. What made the experience less positive was the feedback I got. I was told my old piercing was done by a “low-quality piercer” with “low-quality earrings,” even though I had it done at Mission Ink. That made me uncomfortable. I was also told I needed to buy new earrings instead of reusing my old ones, since they were "low quality." When I asked how likely my old piercing was to close over time, the response I got came across as dismissive and made me feel dumb for asking. I understand it’s a hard question to answer, but I wish it had been explained more respectfully. Overall, I’m happy with the new piercing itself, but the way feedback and questions were handled left me with mixed feelings. Previous review from 2023: Salomé was super nice and made me feel comfortable for my ear piercing appointment. The piercings were done quickly and I like that Mission Ink sent care instructions to my email. I just wish they took credit cards as a form of payment but I understand it costs businesses more to do so. Would recommend this place to my friends.

Experiencia negativa: Jake did get the job done, but did not use the right equipment, made me bleed a lot on a piercing that should not have bled, had to redo two of the piercings, and went into the piercing not knowing what i had asked for. Beware

Experiencia fantástica: I just stopped in to have help putting a piece of jewelry back in. Although it was a small thing- these folks are just clearly good folks. It was friendly, professional, fun, good humored, and the artists are clearly talented and top of their game. I highly recommend you stop in!

Experiencia fantástica: Got my eyebrow pierced roughly 1 year and a half ago, (may 2024). Was one of the piercings I was most scared of since I've never had anything on my face beside my nose but my piercer was very quick and gentle! Took time in finding a ring that fit my eyebrow and matched all the gold piercings I had (septum, earrings, plugs) and in making sure I was satisfied with placement Overall very happy with my piercing and jewelry and would come back.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place my daughter got her nose pierced here after having a horrible experience at another place. The lady that did the job was so nice and made my daughter feel at ease. Special thanks to Simone.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was very sweet and kind. The tattoos came out excellent and it was a very comfortable experience :)

Experiencia fantástica: Jake was so nice and professional in helping me re-insert my ear piercing after it came out!! The whole team there was so friendly -- 10/10 experience!!

Experiencia fantástica: I had an incredible experience with this shop, and the artist Oleksandr! Very clean, gorgeous line work. This is my first tattoo and I could not have dreamed of a better experience. Fantastic job!

Experiencia fantástica: Went in looking for some saline because my lobes were in bad shape… piercer took the time to see me and look at the piercing and give me some great advice. Super grateful and will be back for whatever I get done next!

Experiencia fantástica: Couldn’t be more pleased with my experience getting my eyebrow pierced here. Jake did a great job. He made me feel safe and secure and he came across as experienced and professional. 10/10 recommend him for piercings.

Experiencia fantástica: We were lucky enough to meet Jake, one of the piercing specialists at the shop, and from the very beginning, he made us feel comfortable and well-informed. Jake has a calm, professional demeanor and is clearly very knowledgeable and skilled at what he does. My sister got her earlobes and a flat piercing, while I got my conch and flat done. Jake walked us through every step of the process, explained the aftercare clearly, and answered all of our questions with patience and detail. He made sure we understood how to care for our new piercings, and why it’s important to follow proper healing protocols to prevent infections and assist long-term healing. For anyone thinking about getting a piercing especially if it’s your first time or you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to ask questions. Jake will give you honest and thoughtful answers to help you feel more confident about your decision. That kind of care and attention really stood out to us. We left feeling reassured, and super happy with the results. Our piercings look amazing, and more importantly, we feel like we were in great hands the whole time. If you’re looking for a clean and professional place, Mission Ink is the place to go and Jake is your guy.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had multiple great experiences with Aeriel at Mission Ink. She’s a great artist, very thoughtful and creative and always ensures the finish product is A+. I will definitely be going back.

Experiencia fantástica: Ariel was wonderful and made me feel at ease for my first time getting a tattoo. The shop was also very patient and communicative with my back and forth emails.

Experiencia positiva: Initially I was going to give it 2 stars because I went in to get both of my ears pierced and my piercer, Salome, completely messed up my right ear. It was crooked and off. I called the shop and they said to come talk to Jake. When I went in to talk to him he looked at my right ear and said "yea that's completely wrong. The angle should be at 90 degrees and this is more like 45 degrees." He saw me immediately, sterilized my jewelery, did an angle adjustment and repierced my ear no extra charge. He was informative, efficient, caring and the main reason why I'm rating this a 4/5. If you go here I'd highly suggest getting a consultation from Jake.

Experiencia fantástica: G was awesome. I came in with an idea for 9 small tattoos and he came up with three different ideas that incorporated all 9 tattoos. He was great to listen to while I was being tattooed and had a lot of interesting stories. I am new to SF and came here based off reviews.. 10/10 will absolutely go back!

Experiencia fantástica: I had a wonderful experience getting my piercings with Salome she was very knowledgeable and professional. I would definitely go back and get her as my piercer.

Experiencia negativa: Honestly, I’m so upset I went to get my belly pierced after doing so many research and saw that this place had the highest rating I decided to go, I get there and I got greeted by a lady and I tell her I want to get my belly pierced and the guy comes and tell me to sign some stuff and he takes a look at my belly and tells me I have the perfect belly to pierce, so I go and get it pierced, I saw when he marked and it looked good but as soon as it’s done I look in the mirror and I see that something is not right, I go home and the next day I go to 2 different shops and they tell me that it was pierced it wrong. Jake gave me a floating navel piercing even though I didn’t need it, and he even said himself that I had the perfect anatomy. The total wasn’t cheap and I’m not really upset about the price it’s just that I waited for so long for this piercing just to be pierced it wrong

Experiencia fantástica: Ariel was so nice! We were referred to her from the main shop as walk-ins. She is very clean, her lines and artwork are on point, and she made our experience enjoyable and memorable. If we visit again anytime in the future we will definitely request her! Go see Ariel!

Experiencia fantástica: I get all of my tattoos and piercings here. Had a great experience with G and Salome this last weekend. 10/10 would recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Ariel did amazing work. We went in with and idea of a sunflower and she drew up two options very fast. This is the final product after the work was done. We would highly recommend her. We are already planning on coming back to see her even though we are from Sacramento.

Experiencia fantástica: Ariel was friendly, professional, and fairly priced. I had such a great time chatting with them while they drew one of their many eye-popping flashes on me!

Experiencia positiva: Piercing experience was great and everyone i worked with was amazing. Just with yall had a card reader and more clearly posted that you only take Zelle and Venmo.

Experiencia fantástica: yayyy, got my triple helix pierced (they recommended me getting 2 first, definitely going back for my 3rd!!-it was for swelling+pain) This was my first time in an actual piercing shop (i’m 15) they were really kind, greeted me when I walked in, told me how long I had to wait and told me pretty much everything I needed to know including all the questions I had. I paid $188!(-$8 tax) (jewelry-$80) (piercing-$100)

Experiencia fantástica: Got my septum pierced by Jake, and then stretched. I cannot more highly recommend Jake and the staff at Mission Ink! The front desk / check out staff and the apprentices are kind and show a genuine interest in how I am doing as a person. They are interested in fostering an environment where people want to connect with one another, beyond a simply transactional interaction. I have visited the shop several times now and each time I found myself having a conversation with a stranger (including fellow customers) that brightened my day. Jake is not only a skilled piercer but also professional (he is very diligent about hygiene and cleanliness, is focused on the task at hand, efficient and no-nonsense) and knows that a good experience and result is about more than just the piercing itself - he takes the time to anticipate customers' questions, give anticipatory guidance for first-timers who don't know what questions they should even be asking, and he provides useful aftercare instructions and is available to support throughout the entire process. Most importantly he is non-judgmental and made me feel heard & validated despite my many questions throughout the process (which he patiently entertained - thank you!). Getting pierced here is feels like a complete service - I knew that if I encountered any hiccups in healing along the way, I could message them anytime to ask for guidance, and if I had a vision for the way I wanted something to look, they would be there to advise me on how to achieve that look. There are countless piercers out there who are technically competent, but are missing that extra (and in my opinion, essential) piece of bedside manner and kindness. Thanks to all at Mission Ink Tattoo & Piercing for being so great at what you do!

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot stress how much I love this place! My husband and I were greeted by Tristan immediately and he was the coolest dude possible! He was welcoming and friendly and made everything feel like home! I went in looking for a septum piercing and worked with Salomé! She informed me that I didn't have the proper anatomy for the piercing and instead we did my ears. As much as people might have grumbled about it I actually appreciated her being honest instead of endangering my safety! She was super sweet and professional and had the most lovely bedside manner and I absolutely will be coming back to her again!! Update: went back to see the senior piercer, as Salomé recommended! Jake was professional, informative, funny and absolutely phenomenal! He knows what he's doing and I can't wait to work with him again!! I like how much he values efficiency and hard work! I can't wait to work with this shop again!!

Experiencia fantástica: Jake does an amazing job! I’ve had two piercings from him, second earlobe and septum piercing, and I’m very happy. He clearly takes a lot of pride in the quality and safety of his work. I was super nervous both times too, and he answered all my questions. I highly recommend working with Jake if you’re looking for your next piercing!

Experiencia fantástica: An absolutely wonderful experience. My friend came in for piercings and I came for a tattoo to honor my friends - Rigers and Salomé were exceptional. They first did a consultation with us and walked us both through the steps they'd do for our tattoo and piercings, and then the following week they saw us for the actual tattoos and piercings. Throughout the process, they were kind, thoughtful, hilarious, and did our piercings and tattoos with such care. If I ever get another tattoo I would go back to them and my friend would go to them for piercings. Thank you to both of them for such a great experience.

Experiencia fantástica: I got my ears pierced here last week and I'm super happy with the experience. The team was really helpful with my questions, and Jake did a great job making sure my piercings were symmetrical. A week later and they feel and look great!

Experiencia fantástica: Got a tattoo on Halloween and was beyond impressed with the great service all the way from the front desk to the tattoo. Wait time was practically nonexistent and the tattoo didn’t take any longer than 30-45 minutes. Definitely the place to go for a friendly experience and talented artists!

Experiencia fantástica: G is an incredible artist and is such a great person! I would recommend him for any work and will be traveling back to see him again! Thanks for the good vibes and amazing work while I was in town!

Experiencia fantástica: I've visited this shop twice and would visit many more - Staff is friendly, cool and professional. Rigers is the absolute best, he's highly skilled listens and creates exactly what you envision while caring for his customer throughout the whole process. If you're thinking about getting your first or your 20th tattoo this is the place.

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend Ariel and Mission Ink Tattoo! Thank you for guiding me through my first tattoo. It's a wonderful memory from my trip to San Francisco.

Experiencia fantástica: Very highly recommend this place! Fantastic crew, very clean, and overall great and comfortable place for repeat customers and first timers (me ‍♀️). Oleks did incredible work and put his artistic talents into creating a gorgeous tattoo. I ended up getting a conch and flat piercing too by Salome and she made it so comfortable, answered all of my questions, and was professional and passionate about her work. Everyone working there was friendly, helpful, and had great suggestions and advice. Great experience, comfort level, and I am so happy with the results! Will definitely be going back to get more work done.

Experiencia positiva: !!!UPDATES BELOW!!! first review: I was pierced (for a second time) by Salomé; she's excellent at what she does ! very easy and smooth process 2021 update : got a third piercing, this time on my left nostril. loving it! !!! 2024 update: this ones gonna be long.. i got pierced by Jake for the first time last week. day-of went pretty well! he misgendered me ( i dont take it too personally but my pronouns were included on the piercing form..), he was overall friendly and communicative throughout our session, i tipped accordingly. it was my 3rd time getting a vertical labret piercing—i did not like the placements the past 2 times but wanted to try again. After this recent 3rd piercing i went about my day, did a saline soak and showered+washed the piercing site per the given aftercare instructions, then went to sleep. Woke up around 4am with lots of swelling+blood drying around piercing site. did another soak and gently wiped off the blood and rinsed, then went back to sleep. Later in the morning I contacted Jake about my piercing and we arranged for me to come by same-day to upsize my jewelry. It was an unpleasant and very painful experience. When I came by, he didn't ask me anything and started off debunking "piercing myths" he assumed I was in belief of. Perhaps he was shifting any blame for a probable cause of the excessive bleeding being that the bar he used was much too short for the amount of swelling that occurred. Next he proceeded to saline spray + clean off the newer accumulated dried blood VERY ROUGHLY. I get needing to apply pressure to get everything off, but the quickness and roughness he was using was unnecessary and extremelyy painful to my already bleeding/swollen piercing. The difference in communication and kindness from the initial session to the day after was quite drastic; I have never experienced such lack of care from any piercer (let alone body worker). Felt like the piercing equivalent to if a tattoo artist were to continually dry-wipe your tattoo and then scrape their nails into the newly shaded portions to get any excess/dried ink off. Imagine..??? After he swapped out the jewelry for a longer bar he said i was good to go, but i was close to fainting and let him know. thankfully he brought me a glucose pack & water which helped, and then continued to debunk tattoo myths. he did not bother to ask how i was doing. i was feeling strong enough to leave soon after, said a quick thank you for the service and jewelry inclusion and was on my way. i removed the jewelry yesterday. the swelling had gone down but the placement was looking off-center, and is still seeming so even though the initial stencil markings had been visibly centered. it's possible bc my face b asymmetric as many faces are. regardless, i'm fine having the results of that recent unpleasant experience out. before upsize & after removal photos included- TW BLOOD. tl;dr !! my past experiences at Mission Ink have been 5/5 and wonderful , but will not be getting pierced by Jake again.

Experiencia fantástica: Ariel was so awesome she did my bf and I’s tattoos and she has one best tattoo style, artwork and a great ass personality! We also loved how she didn’t have a heavy hand and didn’t even make us bleed. Communication with everyone was super great def coming back for more!

Experiencia fantástica: I LOVE this studio! Such a cozy layout and nice and quiet. The artists and staff were so nice, down to earth, and amazing with accommodations and recommendations. I got tattoo’d by Rigers, and it was probably the best tattoo experience I’ve had. Professional, quick, and healing very nicely with no bruising. Will absolutely be coming back.

Experiencia fantástica: Really good experience as a walk in. (They are usually appt based) I got a navel piercing and it didn’t hurt at all. Salome was my piercer and she was amazing and also reassured me about almost everything.

Experiencia fantástica: Loved the shop aesthetic as a whole! Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Had Salome for the piercing I wanted. The first time around with a different shop and a different time wasn’t great so I was a bit nervous but I’m very happy that I was able to have Salome as my piercer, the yelp reviews about her had me convinced already and she is experienced. She was very sweet, friendly, thorough, and honest. Soft touch, quick and relatively painless which I appreciated. Would definitely go back to her for my next piercing !

Experiencia fantástica: Ariel created a friendly and engaging environment. She did an amazing job my tattoo as well. The Mission Ink Tattoo supporting staff was super friendly and helpful. Their second location is bright and beautiful. Loved it.

Experiencia fantástica: Got my first (3) tattoos by G. Absolutely love how they came out, he was very kind and I felt the space was clean and comfortable. I am content with my experience here, and would recommend it!! :)

Experiencia positiva: ***UPDATE***: I went in today for a correction. Jake was careful, methodical, and got me the exact results I was hoping for. Very happy I went in and thankful to Mission Ink for promptly correcting the mishap. I am deeply disappointed by the placement of my piercing. Everything else was fantastic: the conditions were sanitary, the piercer was nice enough, and it was about as painless of a piercing as possible. I came into the meeting prepared: I had a doctor measure my other piercing and mark where she should pierce. The piercer even had my other already pierced ear for reference. The piercing is very low and multiple people have commented that it’s clearly too low. It’s very confusing and surprising how this could’ve happened given clear instructions. I am shocked and would never come back here again.

Experiencia fantástica: Had a smooth, seamless experience piercing my 8-year-old daughter’s earlobes here. Salomé performed the piercing and she was patient and understanding with my daughter. Chachi was also comprehensive and excellent when we were settling up with the after-care instructions.

Experiencia fantástica: Mission ink is a Great tattoo and piercing shop. I showed up as a walk in and I was helped right away everyone was super friendly shop was clean my tattoo was done super fast. I highly recommend this shop! I have already booked another appointment in 2 weeks to get a cover up

Experiencia fantástica: Had a great experience with Mission Ink. Got my ears pierced as a walk in. Very friendly staff and quick and easy piercing. Love the tattoo Ariel designed for me. Was my first one and she made it easy and enjoyable. Neat studio, very clean.

Experiencia fantástica: Went to get a plus size naval piercing. Jake was my piercer. He was amazing 10/10 highly recommend he literally pierced my naval in 1.5 seconds I barely felt any pain nor after. Still no pain or issues the following day.

Experiencia fantástica: Guilherme was awesome. This was my first tattoo and he made me feel relaxed, safe, and let me know that if I needed a break I could take one. He did an amazing job and let me know what to expect. I want a bigger piece on my right arm and would def travel to sf to have him draw/tattoo it. Recommend him 100%. The rest of the staff was also 10/10. From the receptionist being super nice and helpful to the piercer helping me find the perfect jewelry for my nose and the other artists being welcoming and friendly. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Came in for a nostril piercing on their walk in day. I waited a few minutes and filled out the consent form online. I was then met with my piercer Jake who was professional in getting everything ready and walking me through the piercing. It was pierced in less than 5 minutes and was told the after care process. In general it was a great experience and the customer derive was excellent from the front desk and my piercer.

Experiencia fantástica: I had an amazing experience. I came from Sacramento and I went for a walk in. I got snake bites and received excellent service. It was a very short wait and the workers took a lot of care into making sure all equipment and the environment was very sanitary. The workers were supportive and kind and helped me mentally and physically prepare myself for the piercing and it greatly helped the process go smoothly and without fear. And the piercings were beautifully placed, I wouldn’t change a thing. Do be aware before going that they only take payment through Venmo and Zelle. 10 out of 10 would recommend lol

Experiencia fantástica: I found this place through an online friend who got a tattoo by one of the artists. I ended up liking the styling and reached out. Throughout the booking process they were both quick and considerate with my limitations of availability evening reaching out to the tattoo artist who stayed later to accommodate my time restrictions work. Arriving they were super nice in helping me through the process as it was my first tattoo and to say while both excited was also a little nervous. Guilherme came out and greeted me then showed me the design and we discussed the size and placement; I was beyond happy at what ended up coming out for the design. He explained the process did a test line and 2 hours later i have this amazing tattoo. He was super nice, the place was clean as they should be and was great to chat with through the process. What is also kind of funny is I'm already thinking about the next one i want to get. For holding off so long till i found that "right" one, I'm happy this place was able to fulfill that need. If I come back out here again, it will definitely the shop and person i want to tattoo me Guilherme was amazing with the idea / concept and bringing it to a piece of art I will enjoy showing off once healed up

Experiencia fantástica: I went in wanting to get my septum pierced but Salome told me that she wasn’t comfortable doing it because that part of my nose was a little too high up, I believe. That automatically made me comfortable(having someone who doesn’t want to either mess up/have it look crooked, what have you). We went over other piercings I could get and I settled on both nostrils. She was very calm, professional, and knowledgeable. I’m satisfied to say the least

Experiencia fantástica: Got my rook done by Jake and it was super smooth, he has a very steady hand! So happy with my piercing and definitely recommend mission ink to anyone wanting to get pierced!

Experiencia fantástica: Mission ink was very friendly and accommodating. There was a confusing mishap with my appointment time, even though I scheduled and checked in many times to confirm my appointment it wasn’t in the system when I got there. I was rescheduled for later the same day and compensated and the piercing itself went very quickly and smoothly. It didn't hurt much and Salomé did a great job of checking in with me during the whole process. Just a few hours later it doesn’t hurt at all, though it hasn’t swollen up yet so I’ll have to see. Overall, good experience

Experiencia positiva: My little sister came here for her first ear piercing appointment and she was assisted by Jake. He was informative but also very passive aggressive and short. Not to mention the pricing is ridiculous. She got the smallest size stud and they were $110 plus a $60 piercing fee, plus a $14 cleaner , plus tax, spending over $200 for her first basic piercing. Would not recommend anyone going here unless you want to pay a ridiculous price.

Experiencia negativa: had a horrible piercing experience in 2021. I had gotten a conch done at a different shop a couple months prior that was healing smoothly and decided to get a rook and helix at Mission Ink on same ear. The rook was extremely painful and the piercer (Salomé I believe) had SO MUCH trouble getting the jewelry in. With all the fuss it took to install the rook jewelry, she ended up pushing my conch piercing into my ear. I am not kidding. Skin was literally covering the front of my conch. She made a comment about how I should get that looked at because it looked like a serious injury and tried to blame the other piercing shop I had gone to for doing a bad job. This baffled me because I walked into Mission Ink with a beautiful conch piercing that up until that point had been healing great, she was clearly the one who injured me. I spend the next 1.5-2 years diligently taking care of my piercings (no touching, no sleeping on my side, no earbuds, saline spray 2x a day, etc etc) however these piercings NEVER HEALED. They looked so bad that another shop I had look at them questioned if I had autoimmune issues because they were healing so poorly. My rook ended up rejecting (pushed to the surface of my ear). I gave up on the helix as well at about the 2 year mark. I've had them out for at least 6 months (probably longer) and still have very noticeable scars. I have a helix in my other ear that I had no problem healing so I can't help but question the skill of the piercer who caused all this to happen. Would not recommend. Horrible. Edit: got pierced 12/18/21. As for not reaching out after it happened, I wanted absolutely nothing to do with a place that, in my personal experience, was unprofessional and caused damage to my ear. I instead went to a different shop to have the issues regarding my conch looked at. I am writing this review three years later because it tells a full story. I got piercings here that never healed properly and left scars after years of diligent aftercare. Judging by the horrible experience of getting the piercings themselves, it is not unreasonable to assume the lack of healing could have partially been due to the piercer (for example, incorrect placement-- fyi my bf got his lobes pierced also on 12/18/21 and they came out noticeably uneven). I would just like my experience to be known by the public!

Experiencia fantástica: I decided last minute I wanted a little tattoo while in the neighborhood. The team was friendly, efficient and Guillerme was so good and fun while I was getting my tattoo. I felt absolutely comfortable and calm and my tattoo is healing incredibly well and looks perfect. Very happy with my experience there.

Experiencia fantástica: Salome was great with my 15 year old daughter. Listened to her and answered her questions and told her step by step what she was doing. There was confusion about my appt time and was not told I needed her birth certificate but luckily I had it in my phone and it all worked out. Thank you Salome! She's very happy with her piercing.

Experiencia fantástica: I came as a walk in first thing at 12. They were very kind and told me to wait for the piercer to come so I did. Once she got here, she was very kind and answered all my questions. I got a nose piercing and was feeling a little nervous since it was my first time. She made me feel very calm and reassured. Once she began the procedure she was very careful and thorough . It was quick and didn’t really hurt. Once I knew it was all done and I had my nose piercing. Thank you Salome!

Experiencia fantástica: Went in to see about getting my ears redone. Was told it would be close to $300. Said I had to think about it. We started talking and Jake wanted to look at my ears after he said that they were not closed all the way so got them done for $119. Recommend to anyone. Super friendly, super clear very professional. Only thing they don't take plastic or phone payments.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience getting tattooed by Guilherme. It was my first time and he was so warm and welcoming! Love the way my tattoo turned out. I'll definitely be recommending this place to people!

Experiencia fantástica: Great atmosphere! Ariel was very kind and easy to talk to. I felt comfortable throughout the tattoo process. I will definitely be coming back!

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience planning the appointment and getting the tattoo done by Ariel. Turned out looking awesome!

Experiencia fantástica: This spot is my go-to for piercings. Great selection of surgical/titanium metal piercings. You will engage with your piercer prior to undergoing your procedure as she wants to be sure that you step out of the shop with a quality addition to your body. It stands to reason that I wouldn't waste my time anywhere else.

Experiencia fantástica: G made the experience very comfortable! It was a quick and easy process and his artwork for my book and moon tattoo is amazing! Would definitely recommend to book here again!

Experiencia fantástica: Jake was helpful, professional and super quick. Even tinted my new green studs gold to match in with my other jewelry!

Experiencia fantástica: My friend and I spontaneously decided to get a piercing. Consequently, we had no time to inform ourselves about the whole procedure upfront. Jake was incredibly patient with us and informed us thoroughly. We are both more than satisfied with the experience and the result.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had a helix piercing done by Jake and several flash tattoos by Ariel…so far. Will be back! Jake was so patient, kind, and knowledgeable during our appointment. From picking the jewelry, curating my piercing, and getting it done — Jake was a complete professional who made me feel comfortable and well cared of. He was also helpful with the after care info. Ariel is a badass at her craft. It was nearly impossible to narrow my favorites to even just TEN of her flash designs and we somehow got it down to four for my session with her. (With more to come in the future.) Scheduling time with her is easy since she’s quick to respond and I had such a great time chatting with her, the time flew! Highly recommend checking her stuff out and booking with her! Especially if you like butts.

Experiencia negativa: Two stars because they were kind and refunded our money - But the actual experience was not OK. I took my 18-year-old daughter to get a septum piercing. She came out and it was noticeably crooked - the girl at the front counter tried to downplay the severity of it, and told us to come back when it was healed if it was still crooked. I explained that we did not live in the area. The piercer came out and recognized how crooked it was, offered to redo it. I couldn’t believe that my daughter was willing to go through that pain again, but she agreed. It was still crooked on the second piercing. :( We ended up finding a piercer closer to our house who redid it, and it is straight and perfect. I am thankful they refunded our money, but it was not a great experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Ariel did an excellent job on my new tattoo! I called ahead of time, reserved a time for a walk-in, and chose a cool design from her flash. Very reasonable price. Will definitely come again the next time I'm in town!

Experiencia fantástica: I got a rook and conch piercing in the same ear. Jake was great! I walked in with no appointment and he was able to get me in that moment. Very reassuring and knowledgeable; he made sure the piercings would work on my ear and told me how they would look before we proceeded. Both piercings were super easy and didn’t hurt. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Had to get my helix piercing redone after it was pierced wrong by a different person in Nevada. Salomé pierced me and they were very kind/ good suggestions, came out very well. Would come again (The blue jewelry is the one done at Mission Ink).

Experiencia fantástica: I got my eyebrow piercing yesterday! The staff were very friendly & understanding. Salomé was the one that did my piercing, they were super gentle & friendly. Salomé also made sure my piercing was positioned perfectly which I really appreciated that they took the time & effort to do so. I really liked my experience there, will definitely come back for another piercing!

Experiencia fantástica: Guilherme was my tattoo artist and I loved his work! I had my image to tattoo and we stepped through what it would look like in our first appointment to position everything and then got 2 leg tattoos in my next visit.

Experiencia fantástica: Lovely experience! Took my valentine on a date here to get our ears pierced together, super cool location and they were super nice! A bit pricey but definitely worth it if you’re looking for a comfortable safe spot ✨

Experiencia fantástica: I got my nose piercing here as a walk-in. I came earlier in the day on a Saturday and to save me the wait, they scheduled me in for a few hours later. The process was quick and easy and the staff were super helpful. I’ve been following the cleaning instructions they gave me and so far no infections. I’d definitely come back for more piercings if I ever decide to get more.

Experiencia fantástica: Really cute shop. Front desk person with the curly hair was so sweet and helpful, made me feel right at home! Salomé, my piercer, was also great, a total pro. I'm glad they do piercings here! not all tattoo shops do.

Experiencia fantástica: Truly an easy breezy beautiful piercing experience. Jake did and excellent job and stuck to his word that he’s super fast!! Love love love my new piercings and hope to come back to Mission Ink:)

Experiencia fantástica: While on a work trip a friend and I decided to get small pieces while out here. From time i walked in everyone at shop was super nice and professional made you feel welcomed to be there. My artist Olex was great and made my on the fly piece better then i planned.

Experiencia fantástica: (Review is for help with an irritated piercing) I accidentally snagged one of my ear piercings and Mission Ink got me in right away on a Sunday evening and quickly figured out how to treat what felt like a pretty dire situation (I thought it was infected and needed to be removed). With Sasha's advice, my piercing is doing fine only a few days later, and I'll be happy to go back again soon for either a new piercing or new jewelry!

Experiencia fantástica: I have gotten 3 tattoos from G at this place. He does a fantastic job. His artwork is beautiful and detailed but quick as well. I have included a photo of my owl tattoo he did that he got done in about an hour! The whole place is very professional and well-ran. I would highly recommend Mission Ink and especially G.

Experiencia positiva: Got a ear piercing and it was quick and easy. However, a ear piercing was more pricey than I expected (inflation?) and actually waited 45mins for a walk-in (not sure if thats normal for a weekday). Also, I wish the front desk was more detailed during check-in and check-out process. Overall good experience.

Experiencia fantástica: My girlfriend and I came in just in a whim pretty late and we were given a very warm welcome. Everyone working was so nice and our tattoo artist Diego was awesome, friendly, and made the whole process smooth. Thanks so much!

Experiencia fantástica: I stopped by to get my belly button repierced and the entire experience was wonderful. I was greeted upon entering the tech that actually did the repiercing was very gentle and professional. She really eased my nervousness. Highly recommend with such great care and service.

Experiencia fantástica: I got my conch piercing done by Jake , he is a complete expert and he made sure to let me know everything about the piecing before going into it , that really put me at ease. The piercing itself was smooth, quick and clean. Guess what, now I am here about to book a second appointment with him to get my other ear's conch pierced.

Experiencia negativa: I enjoyed the studio’s atmosphere and everyone working there was nice. They took me and my friends pretty last minute so I appreciate their flexibility. However, our tattoos were far too expensive for how poor the quality was. I have many tattoos, but the pain I experienced during this session was far worse than any of the tattoos I’ve gotten at other studios. I noticed shortly after the session that I had some really noticeable blowout in most of the line work. My friends also had really bad blowout. Our artist, Oleksandr, was late to our appointments and was way too heavy handed. It was very disappointing.
