Plug Tattoo and Piercing’s: Opiniones
Experiencia fantástica: Tattoo of my sister's name with the infinity and birds... Today is her 50th birthday and she passed away 7 years ago Thank you Sergio I love it
Experiencia negativa: Very rude and unprofessional they told me it was a hour wait we waited a hour just for us to ask when are we going to be seen then say it's going to be another 45 minutes. No updates no nothing
Experiencia fantástica: smash did my piercings he took his time makeing sure it was even
Experiencia fantástica: Took my teen for lip piercings. Smash took his time to make sure they were placed exactly where my teen wanted them and kindly explained every step as he did it. It was barely painful (with numbing cream). We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Experiencia fantástica: I’ve gotten my cartilage and lobe pierced here and each time it went quickly and smoothly. I’ve had no problems with the healing process. The staff are chill and accommodating. My piercer was Smash and he did a great job!
Experiencia negativa: don’t go here for piercings. Went with my friends and all of us had complications. My friend had to get it redone completely because the hole was almost lateral through the ear. My forward helix post backs are unable to be removed? and i had to correct my navel angle multiple times. really disappointed, never had issues like this w piercings.
Experiencia positiva: Great service. Came in for a piercing for baby.
Experiencia fantástica: Just got a double tragus & industrial piercing by smash. He was very quick & very kind. Would most definitely recommend!!
Experiencia fantástica: This place is the best Judy did my tattoo With my babies names and I love it. Also got my first piercing there and many more and was great they let me go get free deep cleanings on my piercings once a week and everyone there are very nice and chill.
Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely thrilled with my new tattoo! Bam is an incredible artist super talented, professional, and genuinely kind. The piece turned out even better than I expected, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work and a great experience. Can’t wait to come back and finish the rest of my leg!
Experiencia fantástica: My tattoo artist does it good job her name is Judy
Experiencia fantástica: I’ve gotten my all my tattoos and piercings here and I’ve loved it my piercings were great super fast didn’t feel a thing, all 6 of my tattoos have been done by Judy and I love them all she is very attentive to all the fine lines, very patient with choosing the placement, and very sweet with me asking to take a quick break. One of my tats I couldn’t find the right placement for and she helped until I did and it made me feel really good sharing my thoughts with her, hands done one of the best tattoo artists there! Go with Judy for sure!!!
Experiencia fantástica: Very reasonably priced, easy parking, excellent staff. Will definitely be returning!
Experiencia negativa: Short version: I had a less than favorable experience here. I went in to get a septum piercing on 7/22–my first piercing, not including ears. I didn’t feel taken care of. I didn’t feel the staff cared about my experience. The piercing ended up crooked, uneven, and misaligned. The company did nothing to console me or try to make amends. I don’t recommend this place, especially newcomers to the piercing world. Long version: I went in very excited to get my first piercing, a septum. I didn’t really know what I was doing, or what I should have been looking for, and what I did know was to make sure the establishment looked clean. For the record, it did look clean. They were prompt and ushered me into a side room. Of the two piercers listed online, my technician was Kim. I remember her face. She introduced herself in the moment, but i don’t recall her using that name. To be honest I don’t remember, too overwhelmed, and regardless, it’s irrelevant—I digress. I misstook her quiet demeanor for confidence. Looking back, it was more of an unforthcoming, apathetic disposition, and a reluctance to provide any sort of solace or care. After a brief marking with a pen of where the needle would go, with no pre-measuring of any kind, she asked if it looked okay. Being new to this sort of thing, I looked, but didn’t really know what I was looking at exactly. I asked for clarification, expecting at the very least some sort of explanation or guidance as to if it looked okay, what her process was, if in her professional opinion it looked okay, etc. I was met with a blank stare, no response. I stupidly confirmed, and she proceeded to pierce me. It hurt. Obviously. A lot. But we finished up after a couple seconds. She handed me the mirror and immediately it was noticeable. Off-center. Not symmetrical. Positioned too high in my septum. I expressed my concern that it wasn’t right and she dryly responded, with something along the lines of “we can redo it.” My husband was with me during the process. He tried to console me, saying something like, “maybe a bigger diameter ring would make it look more even.” Kim responded coldly, “we do have larger diameter rings.” No mention of maybe, I don’t know, something along the lines of, “when it heals it should be better” or, “this is normal.” I can only imagine she messed it up and knew it. And unremoresfully attempted to gloss over it. And hope I shut up and left it as a first timer. We left promptly after. I told my husband how I felt. He went in a few minutes later and talked to the front of house girl. He said he talked to her about what happened, and how I felt about all of this. Her response was equally apathetic as Kim’s. She informed him they could take the temporary septum out or we could at home. We decided to have them take it out, they’re the “professionals.” I bled quite a bit on the car ride home. I went home and looked it up online. From what I’ve gathered, Kim pierced through the harder part of my septum, not just the soft cartilage. Compared to the side she didn’t mess up, it’s been more painful than it normally should for a well positioned septum. The healing process is known to be considerably longer for this mistake. I’m not sure I’ll want to try again after it heals. It was a traumatising feeling, the needle going into the thicker part, and feeling Kim’s hesitation, followed by what I surmise to be stubborn pride egg her on to just finish the job at the expense of admitting a mistake and starting over. The only consolation that was offered was a free re-pierce should I choose to come back. I don’t think I’ll be taking them up on that. No refund was offered. If you’re new to this world like I am/was, I don’t recommend this as a first time shop. Maybe not even as a place for veterans to piercing. Perhaps consider Zebra or anywhere else as a first option. I didn’t feel cared for by the staff. I didn’t feel welcomed as a newcomer to the body-modification community here. I hope the quality and attention to customer care improves here.
Experiencia negativa: Paid my deposit for an appointment. Arrived at the location. Gate is closed, no one is answering the phone. Called multiple times. Anyways. Don’t let people schedule appointments if you’re not open.
Hello , we unfortunately had a plumbing issue which we had to close for 3 days . We anticipated to open sooner , on the day of your appointment one of the water lines still actively leaking, one of our team members have reached again to resolve this misunderstanding . We hope to hear from you soon :)
Experiencia fantástica: I absolutely love Plug Tattoo & Piercings. They have done all of my daughter's piercings and each one has been a great experience. Their staff is very professional, patient and thorough. I love their new location & I wish them continued success.
Experiencia negativa: Bad communication had me drive out for no reason all to tell me the person that was suppose to do my tattoos left .
Experiencia fantástica: Love this place. Great pricing and ✨amazing✨ piercer.
Experiencia fantástica: I really liked this place, very tidy and beautiful. Great service.
Experiencia fantástica: Favorite tattoo spot, Definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking to get a Anime tattoo
Experiencia fantástica: Jose tattooed me a few times, great experience. Proffesional and on time, 10 out of 10 experience.
Experiencia fantástica: Jose is the shit, straight up! Super professional and super talented. I got one of his designs. awesome tattoo shop certainly worth a stop if you’re cruising through the bay
Experiencia negativa: This is a piercing update about a year ago today I came here to get my nose pierced I tried changing my nose ring and it closed a year later service was amazing very nice and helpful just upset my nose hole close after a waiting a year to be able to change it I keep up proper care I basically had to force it back in and now it’s feel like I just got it I wouldn’t go back only because my nose piercing closed when trying to change it
Hello, nose piercing may close on most because your immune system is healthy which your body recovers fast that may have caused the piercing to close .
2) we can easily help you with any jewelry changes . Most times we don’t even charge for a jewelry changes.
3) also forcing a piercing through can also puncture another hole resulting into pain and feeling fresh .
We are here to help . Even for jewelry changes so it won’t close up as easy .
We hope to see you soon , enjoy your beautiful day .
Experiencia fantástica: Super friendly people! I gotten three piercings by river, super cool chill dude! He made sure I was prepared and comfortable love the guy!
We appreciate your kind words
Experiencia fantástica: 10/10 would recommend getting pierced by river he did my belly button and it was so quick and easy didn’t even know it happen
Experiencia fantástica: Come see River for all your piercing needs! 5 star experience.
Experiencia fantástica: Love this place! Great tattoo Artists! Judy did a great job on my tattoos! Definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking to get a piece done or a piercing for sure!
Experiencia fantástica: Amazing work done by Kes (ig @knightink_94) would totally recommend and go back, everyone is super friendly. It’s a clean establishment and I was completely comfortable the whole time. I’ve also gotten a few piercings done and I love them they’ve healed up so well and the piercers are also very kind!
Experiencia fantástica: Got a huge piece done by the apprentice, Judy! I absolutely love her work and the execution on my tat, it was exactly what I asked for. She was very open and communicative through the whole process. Shoutout to Smash and the rest of Plug for the good vibes in the shop as well!!! Definitely recommend this place!
Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to this shop since I was 14 now I'm 19, the piercers and tattoo artist are so great and friendly I always recommend them to friends, family and anybody that wants a great tat or piercing!
Experiencia fantástica: Have had my jewelry changed out several times here for my medusa piercing. So professional and kind and gentle. Great prices on piercings and jewelry. Great selection of gauges as well. All priced at only 10$ which is a steal.
We appreciate you !
Experiencia negativa: So I haven’t spoken out about this incident due to humiliation and confusion. I went to the plug back in May 2024. My experience at the plug was very devastating. I came in and did a walk in which should’ve been my first red flag. I was overwhelmed with excitement and didn’t think through about what I was getting myself into but being at a professional shop I didn’t expect anything less. My tattoo done by Bucketz and was done on my hip was done so horribly and gotten infected. After weeks in the emergency room and doctor visits they found that the tattoo wasn’t done properly and safely. I’m hurt by this and ready to speak out.
Hello , may you please reach out to [email protected] so I may resolve this for you !
Experiencia negativa: ROY, a guy who works here, made an ugly tattoo on me, and I didn't like it the way it came out, I went back to try and fix it, but this guy asked me for a $300 dollar deposit in order to make another design and do a cover up, but he never got me a good design, but he didn't return me back the deposit money neither, so i ended up spending $800 dollars with this guy, for something that I didn't even like it, his name is ROY
Hello , we fired roy . He is no longer with us . So may you please reach out to us so we may help you .
Experiencia fantástica: Jose is great and helps you choose what’s right for you. His work is amazing
We appreciate your kind words , Jose is delighted to have worked with you !
Experiencia fantástica: Great service knowledgeable staff! Went with the five for 100 piercing deal for my son‘s birthday. They all came out perfectly and healed nicely.
We appreciate all you kind words :)
Experiencia fantástica: This is my daughter and I favorite place to get pierced. They’re really friendly, personable and very gentle with you. I’ve been pierced numerous times there by 2 different people, both of which were experienced and knowledgeable about the piercing and placement. And the cherry on top is that they’re affordable! Love this shop and look forward to continuing getting pierced there in the future.
We appreciate your kind words :)
Experiencia negativa: Be careful how you get a tattoo from at this place, picture on the LH is what I ask for, picture on the RH was what I got and he charge me $800.00
We fired Roy because of this . We have had reached out numerous times to fix this by another artist that has this specialty .
Experiencia negativa: This place has really gone downhill since Covid unfortunately. I had this piece done January 2021 by Vanessa and tried to come in to schedule a touch up with her since she did the original piece. She was extremely hostile, was insisting she didn’t do it, and then told me the shop doesn’t do pieces that big. As an artist, I wanted to offer her a chance to touch up her original piece but she was rude and dead set on convincing me she did not do the piece. I have all of our messages from the original appointment. Even if she didn’t remember me or the piece, I’m not sure why she was turning down a session request. When I got the piece she offered free touch ups when needed, I was totally willing to pay for a session with her, but her attitude was so unwelcoming. I will have to go elsewhere because this piece has been faded since the day I got it.
We apologize, at the moment maybe the artist did not recall, we are still here for you regardless and I hope you didn’t feel like anyone was being rude she was honestly busy and a middle of a tattoo so it may have been a fast conversation. We apologize.
We were able to confirm your information and we are here for you to re touch the tattoo .
But tattoos do fade especially with fine line . Hope to hear from you soon :)

Experiencia fantástica: piercer was super sweet and gave me numbing cream !! placement looks good can't wait to see it healed (100 for snake bites which is REALLY good)
Experiencia fantástica: Smash is very professional and awesome. We will definitely be going back to him. Thank you smash!!!
We appreciate you kim and hope to see you around
Experiencia negativa: Got my nipples pierced here and Kim put one on too far apart to the point that I got an infection and had to take them out - it was very painful and most jewelry would not fit. I was very disappointed with their service and quality of work, it is close to home but now I will make sure to go out of my way to find a more qualified piercer.
Hello Audrey , we are very sorry to hear about your experience, please reach out to our manager to help remedy the situation.
Experiencia fantástica: Did a walk-in and was given service within 10-15 min. My sis and I got our piercings done. I love that the piercer took her time and the facility was clean. Got my upper lobe pierced and it was fast and painless. Also the price was very reasonable. Great service!
We appreciate you :)
Experiencia fantástica: I went to the plug and was greeted pleasantly by the front desk I asked her name because I loved her hair he name is kat and she helped me with everything and made me feel really taken care of before my appointment
Experiencia fantástica: Looks like a nice clean place, I only stopped to ask a quick question and was treated with respect and got the answer I was looking for, all can say is that there's a good ambient and that the customer service was great!
Experiencia fantástica: Got my ears pierced by Kim! She was extremely professional and friendly. Went over the healing process with me and what to do with cleaning and maintaining the piercings. Definitely would recommend her.
Experiencia negativa: I originally left a 5 star review for the services I was given in previous years, but my experience here has quickly soured. A few months ago, I communicated personally with one of the tattoo artists for a moderately large piece and paid the required security deposit and total of the tattoo. We had to end our session short due to the artist's personal reasons, which I understood. I then asked when we could continue the piece, and was given a date two weeks out. I waited until our appointment date, and once I arrived I was told it would be an additional cost to have the rest of my tattoo finished - this was not mentioned at all before. I was left to believe I had already paid for the entire tat. We had to cancel the second session because I could not afford making another payment, and I was told to reach out to reschedule whenever I had the funds. Well... that morning I messaged the artist asking how much it would be to have it finished, just to be ghosted. Now I have an unfinished tattoo on my arm and I have to find another artist to complete this unfinished work. Unfinished that was out of my control. Very unprofessional lack of communication and I will no longer be bringing my business here. I would not recommend The Plug to anyone. EDIT: The Plug has responded to this review saying they have "recently" spoke to this about me and that the artist I am writing about has not worked here ever since 2020. I got this tattoo in June of this year... Sounds like they’re either avoiding accountability, unaware of their employee’s work ethics, or both. Not a good look either way.
Hello Adrien , thank you for coming by to our location , we recently spoke to you , we explained those artist no longer work here and we are under new ownership, we apologize about your experience but we can not fix work for free because those artist and owners no longer have affiliation with us since 2020
Experiencia negativa: Okay… two stars because my artist was entertaining, the shop was very clean, and they got me in for same day session. Unfortunately, the tattoo is pretty rough on the eyes. IF you only see it from far enough away, it looks great! But the line work is REALLY bad… like hilariously bad. Even more hilarious because the artist told me these were the straightest lines they’ve ever done , and they were holding their breath to be sure the lines were straight. I won’t call out the artist, but please don’t accept a detailed micro tattoo if it’s not in your wheel house . All artists have their strengths, but good gawd… it’s okay to turn a job away when it’s not a style you are comfortable with.
Experiencia negativa: I got a Medusa piercing & it was pierced completely slanted healing process was terrible I’ve had it since Oct 21 & all of a sudden i walk up & my lip is completely swollen & painful so I take it out bc skin was growing over the piercing inside my mouth
Hello , usually lip piercing swell for the first week , if it tends to swell , it may be from drinking or smoking , but it’s okay our shop is here to remedy the situation
Experiencia positiva: Had a tattoo and few piercings done here. Prices reasonable service was great. Good street parking. Great selection of flash available and talented artists drawing all kinds of cool tattoos.
Experiencia fantástica: This is honestly my favorite and only place to get pierced at!! Smash is so nice and really cool! I was afraid of getting my nose pierced but he did it like nothing and it was so fast❤️
Experiencia fantástica: smash is the piercer ever . he never disappoints if you want to get a piercing you need to come to the plug ! been a loyal customer since 2017
Experiencia fantástica: shout out to the plug for being THE plug! big shoutout to Smash all my piercings have been done by him and all have healed perfectly.
Experiencia fantástica: I get all my piercings at the plug they always satisfy me & goood customer service they are quick with doing your piercings tooo.
Experiencia fantástica: Shout-out to the Plug Tattoo for amazing artist work and being multi optional with your choice of jewelry, piercings, and tattoos! Big shout out to Big Wes, dude is always on point with his tattoos, clean, and very respectable
Experiencia fantástica: This is my second time coming there for a piercing. The place is clean, and the staff are very welcoming and professional. Would highly recommend to go to this area for a piercing, or if you have a already a piercing, but it not healing well. Staff can help to clean and facilitate the healing process of the piercing(s).
Experiencia negativa: My friend and I came in during late October. When my friend and I walked in, the lady at the front counter was super sweet, piercing wavers and stuff situated. That day my nose ring also happened to fall out, so I needed help getting that back in. The piercer seemed nice at first, but as my friend and I were asking questions, making casual conversation for the time being, she seemed very short with us and like she very obviously wanted to get us out. The piercer blunt forced my nose ring back into my nose, which, could have been worse. I'm not so mad about that, if she didnt do it, I wouldn't have. What I am pretty bummed about is when i went to my regular piercer up in the state where I live (3 months later), he told me that the placement of the septum piercing she did on me went through my nose cartilage, which, is not supposed to happen. I've since taken it out, and there is a raised scar that almost sticks out of my nostril. I dont know if that scar will be in the way of getting one where it's supposed to go, doubt it will, but that would suck super hard. She gave us no aftercare instructions until i asked about it, told me what my jewelry was made of after i asked when it was already in my nose. Update; friend went to another piercer and her tragus was pierced at an angle. Maybe it's worth spending a little more for a piercing to be done correctly.
Experiencia fantástica: Got my first piercings here and it was a great experience. Took no time at all and the staff were so mellow and nice it made it super memorable. Thanks y'all <3
Experiencia fantástica: Five stars for the wonderful service afternoon. My daughter had a great experience with her first piercing. Staff were professional and patient with us. Thank you!
Experiencia negativa: Do not go here for piercings! My bellybutton piercing is crooked, which means I’ll have to take it out and wait for it to heal before paying for a better piercer to redo it. I watched the video back of her piercing my bellybutton, and she totally went in sideways, making it completely crooked. I was tempted by the 5 piercings for $100, which can be shared amongst friends. The woman piercer acted like she wanted us out as soon as possible. She didn’t take time with me and my friend, who were clearly getting our first real piercings. The only question she asked us was what piercings we wanted, then had us out in under 10 minutes. Some people may like minimal talking, but if you’re with a client who clearly doesn’t know much about piercings, you should be teaching and talking to them about it. She was very aggressive in the way she handles the needle, especially going through the nose. I know good piercers are supposed to know anatomy and what piercings will work, but my nostril piercing pushes on the inside of my nose because of my deviated septum, which is super annoying. She also never gave us aftercare instructions. Turns out the aftercare instructions were on a business card she handed to us after the fact. So, it’s no shock to me that all of the bad reviews on here are for the piercings. You would think they would have good piercers considering their tattoo artists are great, but sadly, no. Don’t be tempted by the cheap piercings, there’s a reason they’re cheap.
Experiencia fantástica: Bam(ig is slavetothegrave) is an amazing tattoo artist! I followed awhile on Instagram until I finally got a tattoo. He has great all day session deals!! I have been to the plug 3 times now. Once last year getting a tattoo in June, again in August to get piercings for my son and I(we did the 5 piercings for $100) and again yesterday getting another tattoo. Bam knows how to work with the ideas given and comes up with beautiful work! I love both my tattoos, I do have to finish up this session due to no time to finish but can't wait! I hope to plan more tattoos in future. The Plug is clean and love the attention all the artists have to making sure it stays clean and neat. Everyone is friendly and love seeing the work environment in between the artists and clients.
Experiencia fantástica: Smash is seriously the best piercer ever! He is constantly staying on top of the newest methods and techniques and does excellent work! He is super clean, takes pride in his work, and makes sure his customers are relaxed and happy! If you want to make sure your body modifications are done right, make sure you see Smash! Kim is also an excellent piercer!!! She is quick and precise! You really can't go wrong here guys. :)
Experiencia negativa: My friend and i got our belly buttons pierced almost a year ago (last summer). she got her top done and i got my bottom done (bc i already had a top belly button piercing). Her piercing ended up growing a ginormous bump (larger than a quarter) that looked like a hernia. she had to take her piercing out and almost had to get the numb surgically removed. my piercing never healed properly. it still hurts all the time and is crusting all the time…
Experiencia negativa: Little to no communication. I had no idea what jewelry was being used until it was in. No choice, not even just showing me what was going to be in my face for a month. The piercing is fine, but the experience was very meh
Experiencia fantástica: I got gold grillz for my bottom teeth from Kevin! They accepted walk-ins and got me fitted once I told them what I wanted and paid the deposit. I was on a little bit of a time crunch and they were able to get my grill made in a week. Alia and Kevin were so friendly and I am super happy with the final product. Thanks again!
Experiencia fantástica: I got 6 ear piercings and 1 septum piercing by Kim, I have been a loyal customer here since 2019. Even though I moved to Berkeley from Richmond, I’m still willing and more than happy to take a 1-hour-bus-trip to The Plug for my new piercings and tattoos (in the future). I love Kim, I can not handle pain really well and she made everything smooth, fast and charming by whispering while poking the needle through my ears/nose. Professional! Price is unbeatable compared to those in Berkeley such as Industrial and Zebra. Definitely recommend
Experiencia fantástica: This place is dope!! Love the vibe. Smash is a really easy going piercer. He pierced my tongue.
Experiencia fantástica: Smash did my septum piercing along with a few others and it was such a great experience! The fastest and most comfortable experience I've had.
Experiencia fantástica: I went with a couple friends and the line was long but aside from that, it was great. I got a piercing and a tattoo that day and boy did the piercing hurt. I'm pleased though. I forgot who it was who did my piercing but he was very good, thorough, and chill. Sharky was the one who did my stitch tattoo and all I'm going to say is he was fantastic. Not too heavy of a hand and I almost fell asleep sitting in the chair. Highly recommend him and most likely the others.
Experiencia fantástica: 2 days, I went to the place to get my first nose piercing. I heard that price was $25, and it was a worth a price. The one was over there at Berkeley called Industrial Tattoo cost $90, but I couldn’t afford that. So I went in there and greet the piercer only to pay $25 for this nose piercing. I loved this place.
Experiencia fantástica: Got a septum piercing, was very quick and easy. Getting the piercing itself took less than 2 minutes, maybe less than 1
Experiencia fantástica: My experience was amazing! I got all my piercings done by smash and it was a great experience every time. Fast, as painless as possible and very informative about the piercings. The pricing is also very reasonable and I’ll definitely keep coming back!! Definitely recommend!
Experiencia fantástica: The Plug is my go to place in the East Bay to get pierced, hands down. Compared to Industrial and Zebra in Berkeley, it's the best of both worlds. You can walk in on the weekend and wait less than an hour for an appointment. On weekdays it's even faster. You can also schedule an appointment in advance if that's your preference, online or on the phone. The best part in my opinion is that they have a piercing deal - 5 for $100 flat. So my partner and I have done that deal twice now. Yesterday I got a septum and eyebrow piercing and my partner got two helixes and two upper lobes... and fun fact: 2 lobe piercings are conveniently priced as one! Furthermore, the staff is so friendly! Every time that we've been there, the receptionists have been super informative and kind and the piercers have been highly skilled, professional, careful to listen to our preferences, and patient. It's always a fun time at The Plug. I definitely recommend.
Experiencia fantástica: Great service every time by Smash! If you need a piercer in the Bay he’s the person to go to.
Experiencia fantástica: By far the greatest experience I've had team members and employees we're very nice Attentive and assertive Great vibe and environment Clean and professional Highly recommended To new and existing Clients
Experiencia negativa: Smash has done all my piercings and hes done multiple more than once due to him NOT piercing correctly,i went back still and left tips.He pierced the tip of my ear so close to the edge of my ear that i have to let it close bc i refuse to allow a ring being torn out !very much overrated i wont goback hes too careless for me.even when i did say something he brushed it off.
Experiencia fantástica: This place is this best! I went here a few days ago for two nose piercings and had two friends with me, we all did the 5 piercings for 100 dollars and best part you can split it between three people!!! I got two nose piercings, one nostril and my septum. We booked under Smash, he has 12 years under his belt. I at first preferred a girl because I’m a girl myself but I’m very happy now we booked with him, he made me and my friends feel so comfortable and went around what we thought was best for us (even tho I made a wrong decision because my adrenaline ran out) he pierced my nostril beautifully. This is where I messed up i took like a five minute break and then got my septum done and totally freaked I didn’t move but my mouth did, he stayed so calm and got it through. My piercing look so straight and already healing very good!! I thank him so much and recommend everyone to go to Smash!!!!
Experiencia fantástica: I Love the Plug Tattoo Shop they literally treat you amazing from the welcoming to the wait time to the actual service.. I have gotten 3 piercings from here & bought lots of rings they have alot of cool options at low prices.
Experiencia fantástica: This place is truly the best wonderful customer service....... I have gotten literally all my piercing from the plug. I love all the staff but Smash is the best hands down and i hope he never stops what he doing . He truly is a vibe and i love his energy
Experiencia fantástica: I love this piercing place it’s the best shop in Richmond I got my dermals put back in they very friendly people and the guy did my piercing did an amazing job if you guys looking for a piercing and tattoo place this your place I love how they treat their customers they are very professional people
Experiencia positiva: I got my septum pierced and my mother did her nostril and belly button, everyone there is so friendly and Smash helped us out and was quick and calming, hope to come back for my first tattoo. Edit: came back for my first tattoo and would not recommend Sharky, he did a rushed and indecent job and failed to inform me of a sudden cancellation for a follow up and I had to find out on my own. (Also later came to find he did not satisfy a family friend some years back as well)
Experiencia fantástica: I had an appointment with Smash. He was great, on time, professional, very calm and gentle, it didn't even hurt. His station is clean and he took his time making sure it was perfect and I was comfortable. 10/10 recommend
Experiencia negativa: In my opinion this place went down hill. Now it has rude people working there and one person I dealt with is unprofessional and shouldn't be doing what he is doing. No I'm not to say what he did or who he is. I just know I will never get anything done there again. Sad it's really sad. No I'm not going to call. I'm just going to find another place. The guy was rude to me and unprofessional.
I’m sorry to hear about your experience, not sure who helped you but I can assure you our business takes no pride to bad service , we are for you . Please do not hesitate to call and ask for “smash” so we may help you through this situation.
Experiencia fantástica: I recommend going to AJ @ajpinkartistry IG she has done 12 of my tattoos and love every single one!!! Can’t wait for more!
Experiencia fantástica: Got my ears pierced it was fairly pain less and quick would recommend. A lil step in prices but worth the money
Experiencia negativa: Got my ear pierced and of course there was swelling but the piercer uses such small bars so there’s no room for the sweeping process and my piercing popped off. Contacted the shop and they told me there’s pretty much nothing they can do for me unless I want to come in and get pierced again including a fee. Which is not the best idea. Why would I want to Repierce my ear while it’s still open and swollen on top of using the same size bar. She told me to order a different size bar on Amazon. As a piercer you should have multi size bars. Makes no sense at all.
Experiencia fantástica: I went in a few weeks go to get a tattoo from Aliyha and it was such a wonderful experience. She made me feel really comfortable and answered any questions/concerns I had. If you are thinking of getting a tattoo/piercing here please don’t hesitate to do It. I will be getting more work done from here again soon
Experiencia negativa: I got 2 piercings last week by Kim and she used small bars for both new piercings and left no room for the healing process knowing piercing cause swellings. One piercing is super swollen and tight due the small bar not having enough room and the other piercings totally popped off. Very irritating a waste of time and money didn’t even last a week in my ear …
Experiencia fantástica: if you ever want to get a tattoo, i recommend asking for AJ. i’ve gone to her twice for both my tattoos and they have turned out so well!
Experiencia fantástica: Smash is my go to piercer been going for years dermal piercing cheek lip and recently just got septum love love it he is always knowledgeable and friendly thank you lol when you going to start tattooing see ya soon
Experiencia fantástica: They are all very sweet and welcoming! If you want a piercing, I suggest that you book with smash. He's the best :)
Experiencia fantástica: Amazing experience, professional, respectful, fun people. Got a piercing with Smash. Fast and Easy ! Great after care detail. Also got a few tattoos with different artist, ALL Great experience. Got one with, B, Ravy, Vanessa and Bam. Amazing work from each and every one ! Highly recommended place !.
Experiencia fantástica: My daughter and I both got nose piercings by Kim. It went really well. She’s friendly, fast and professional. We didn’t have an appointment but they squeezed us in. The wait wasn’t very long at all. We will definitely come back again.
Experiencia fantástica: I got my nose piercing done by Kim and it went well. Later happened that my nose started to swell too much for the 8mm stud so I went back and Smash swapped it out for a longer one like nothing. I was a bit worried it would hurt because of the swelling but I barley felt it. I Immediately got a third piercing afterwards with smash lol.
Experiencia fantástica: AJ is an amazing artist. Love my new Death Moth tattoo. Her detail is amazing. She has a very gentle touch that makes the experience what you want it to be, a little bit of pain but mostly all pleasure. She's truly a gem and incredibly talented. Pics will be added later.
Experiencia fantástica: Smash did a great job with my sister and I piercings. He was very nice and professional. Would go to him again!
Experiencia positiva: Kim rocked it and made me feel comfortable. The place is super sterile and spacious. They offer tons of jewelry for all types of body modifications. Big comfy couches sit in the lobby and they are wheelchair accessible. Best to set an appointment and you have to sign a waiver that can be found on their web site.
Experiencia fantástica: I went to The Plug yesterday to get a nose piercing and my very first tattoo. I was very pleased with how clean the shop was and how friendly & professional everyone is. I had an 11am nostril piercing with Smash and we were right on time. At first I was nervous about it but his calm presence, professionalism and kindness helped calm my nerves. If I ever decide to get another piercing done or have friends looking to get piercings, I strongly recommend Smash! He’s an excellent piercer & very patient. I also had a tattoo appointment for 12pm with Aliyha Perry. My appointment was moved to 1pm due to another client showing up late, which was no fault of her own, but she notified me immediately so that I wouldn’t be left sitting at the shop waiting. I appreciate her communication skills! Once she sat me down, we went over my artwork & she exceeded my expectations!!! Aliyha is also very professional, clean & a talented artist all around. I’m very happy with my tattoo and can’t wait to see it fully healed. I look forward to have another piece done by her in the next few months, she’s everything I looked for in an artist! Thank you Smash & Aliyha!
Experiencia negativa: The Plug STEALS art from artist who specifically do not allow third-parties to use their flashes, then claims harassment when customers call them out for it. Straight THIEVES. They can’t check for consent from artists or own their wrong doings — you DO NOT want these kind of LAZY, UNPROFESSIONAL people anywhere near your skin, much less with a needle in hand.
Experiencia fantástica: Great place for a tattoo! Friendly staff, clean, great artists, over all a nice "family" vibe going on here. I will definitely return for more ink! Thanks guys.
Thank you for your support!
Experiencia fantástica: I went here for the first time recently and I have no complaints at all. It was busy at the time they have a person at the front desk now I forgot her name but she has the bluest eyes she was very attentive and nice I bought some jewelry and the price was amazing this place is a whole vibe I will be back.
Thank you!
