Experiencia fantástica: Danny did a wonderful job with our 7 year-old daughter’s ears. I was impressed with his professionalism and the cleanliness of his station and equipment. He took his time ensuring the piercings would be in the perfect place and when it came time to pierce her ears was very quick yet careful. They had a nice selection of surgical steel, high quality earrings for her to pick from.The earrings have flat backs, so they’ve been easy for her to sleep in, which is a huge bonus. We are now two weeks out and her ears already appear to be healed! We (and most importantly our daughter) are very pleased with the experience and would recommend SD Piercing Co to other first timers.

Experiencia fantástica: Danny is one of my favorite piercers of all time. He’s a great piercer, made me feel very comfortable and safe in an environment that historically gives me anxiety.

Experiencia fantástica: This was my first tattoo ever and I was getting it on my forearm. I told Sake what I wanted and he made it happen. I can’t lie, I was being super picky about everything I wanted, I asked him to tweak small things about the drawing to make it how I wanted, and Sake was amazing about it. He was super patient with me and understanding about how I wanted the tattoo, and he made everything happen perfectly. I’m in love with his artwork, and I couldn’t have asked for a better tattoo.

Experiencia fantástica: I was in town visiting and only had a few hours left before my flight took off back home. As I was driving, I happen to see a Amir sitting outside and I quickly pulled over and ask him about doing me a tattoo. I wasn’t sure of exactly what I wanted, but I quickly found a small heart with stylistic wings design thats symbolic of who I am. And he did an amazing job… Thank you ♥️

Experiencia fantástica: We had a great experience! My daughter has been wanting to get her ears pierced for years but was really nervous that it was going to hurt, so she almost backed out. Danny was very patient with her and explained the whole process as he went. He was meticulous in marking the spots on her ears and made sure my daughter and I were happy with the placement. As my daughter’s nerves and fears were getting to her, he reassured her that he wouldn’t do anything unless she was ready and gave her some time to calm down. Once she gave the go ahead, the process was quick. The piercings look great and my daughter is thrilled! We came here off of a friend’s recommendation and, based off our experience, I would definitely recommend it too!

Experiencia fantástica: Initially I was going to a nearby location for a piercing however the person doing piercings was not in. I was recommended to San Diego Tattoo Company and I met Daniel B. He was extremely professional, careful, and really nice. I love my conch piercing and it was painless. Overall, I’m really happy with my experience, will definitely come back for more piercings or tattoos. They had a lot of great designs. Most importantly what made me feel safe was Daniel’s professionalism when a group of mostly underage girls tried to get piercing. He respectfully declined, explained that there was an age requirements and legal guardians required for those underage, and the entire event was smooth. This place is great. 100% recommend.

Very professional and hygienic studio and overall great first time with a professional piercer. Will definitely be coming back in the future for more! I got my conch and my helix pierced and both are healing great.

Experiencia fantástica: My 5.5 daughter had been begging me to take her to get her ears pierced for the past 6 months. I did a lot of googling/research to find the right place. I am so glad I chose San Diego Tattoo Company! Danny was absolutely amazing! He was kind, gentle and precise! He explained everything he was doing to my daughter so she understood what to expect and took a lot of time ensuring the holes he was going to pierce were even. I really appreciate the level of cleanliness and sanitation they keep up as well. I felt completely at ease the entire time. I even had my ear lobes re-piereced after they closed up a couple of years ago! It was a fun mommy/daughter experience. Danny has checked in with us a couple of times since our piercings and we will go back in a few weeks for our check-in! I highly recommend San Diego Tattoo Company!

Experiencia fantástica: They were amazing. This tattoo means so much and they nailed it perfectly! I cannot thank y'all enough for the outstanding work ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: Amir was our tattoo artist, my friends and I all went later at night and they were all very patient very kind and very helpful when creating our tattoo ideas that we wanted. They are quick fast and very efficient with their work. Our tattoos turned out beautiful!

Experiencia fantástica: Took my 8½-year-old to get her ears pierced by Danny Barrera at San Diego Tattoo Company and it was honestly such a great experience. Danny was calm, kind, and really good with her. We had a great conversation beforehand about how he only pierces kids who actually want it…if a kid says no, even if the parents are saying yes, he won’t do it. I really respected that. He walked her through every step, did breathing exercises with her to keep her calm, and made the whole thing feel safe and empowering. Also, I don’t know who the guy was sitting out front with Danny when we showed up, but he couldn’t have been nicer. He heard us mention she was nervous and immediately welcomed her in and told her it was a safe place. That small moment set the tone. Everyone there was awesome. Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Loved getting my piercing done by Danny. He explained the whole piercing process as well as how to take care of it at home. I'll definitely come back if I ever decide to get another.

Experiencia fantástica: Sake was our tattoo artist! He was totally amazing! His work is absolutely flawless, but it was more than that. He made the experience unforgettable. His interaction and personal story was very interesting! I flew in from Atlanta,GA and would do it all over again! Sake is the man! Would recommend him and the shop to anyone needing a tattoo. Thank you San Diego Tattoo for your professionalism! See you soon!

Experiencia fantástica: Walked in one night and decided to get a tattoo with my children’s names. They were able to take me in last minute and I was so happy with my result. The piercer who helped me with my design was so friendly and helpful. Erick who did my tattoo did amazing work. The price was fair, their customer service was phenomenal and the shop was clean.

His work is fire, and the energy in the shop? Immaculate. And shoutout to Danny who did my piercings—quick, clean, and made the whole thing feel easy and fun.
