Your new piercing wants to be left alone for the most part. Mindfulness is a great practice to get into when honoring your new body adornment. Mindfulness is simply raising your awareness of your piercing during the first two months. How you treat your piercing during this stage depicts the length of time it will take to fully heal, and we want to see you heal as soon as humanly possible.

Got my nostril pierced here back in 2019. This was the best service I've had at a piercing shop -- they were kind and transparent about the piercing process, cost, and aftercare. They were patient with me while I decided the location where I wanted the piercing. I also appreciate the safety measures they took during COVID outbreaks. I wanted another piercing in 2020/2021 but they were either closed or had limited appointments available. Even if it meant I couldn't get pierced, I think it really speaks to their integrity as a business that they had those measures in place.

I got pierced by Katrina! She helped me pick out where I would like my piercing and helped me pick out the most beautiful piece of jewelry for it. The whole process was great and I'm intending on visiting again soon!

The owner is amazing, gentle & very knowledgeable. She carries the BEST jewelry I've come across. I've literally worn a rose gold nose hoop from Chief for 3 years and it's still good as new. The shop is tranquil too, which is so inviting. Email her already! :)

The owner, Katrina is absolutely amazing! I have been getting my piercings changed out for the last 3 years and never disappointed. Beyond thrilled she remained in business throughout the pandemic. I will continue to support her as long as she is in Sacramento!!!

Super clean, super sweet piercers/front desk. I went right before lock down and it was the best experience ever at a piercing shop and I've been to about 8 or 9 different places. Worth the more expensive price for quality jewelry

Dude SCREW this place. I was with my friend getting our piercings stretched and the piercer verbally attacked my friend. DO NOT GO HERE. There are way better piercing places in Sacramento than here. DO NOT GO HERE

I had 3 piercings done here, and not only are they gorgeous, but Kat was so knowledgeable, friendly and inviting! She helped me choose the best piercings for my ear and was patient while I chose the jewelry that I couldn't leave without. The piercings themselves were quick and as painless as piercings can be, and she made sure I was happy with the placement before and after. She sent me home with everything I'll need for aftercare, including the instructions she had just explained in detail. The pricing was exactly what I went in thinking it would be, and overall, the experience was absolutely

Best piercing shop in sacramento!! Amazing selection of jewelry, with lots of options for basic jewelry as well as fancier options. The piercers are awesome and so helpful especially if you’re nervous!

So professional and knowledgeable. The most painless piercing I ever got. I got a conch piercing by Mel. I will forever come here only. Huge selection on jewelry and they are very patient while you decide.

I wish this place was back open because I probably would have gotten my other ear pierced already. The customer service is outstanding and the employees made me feel welcomed, and comfortable (my first piercing). I never felt rushed, and they answered all the questions I had, before, during, and after my walk-in appointment. They also had a great variety of earrings to purchase as well. The quality of my earring is well worth the price. No infection, no tarnishes.

Melody is seriously the best!
She puts you at ease, very professional.
I'm a baby when it comes to piercings and tattoos and when she did my conch piercing it was as painless as it could be.
An hour after the piercing I couldn't even tell I got it.
Thank you melody you have won me over.

Loved it...the energy there is so soothing, and Doug greets you and makes you feel relaxed. It was my first time getting a body piercing besides ears, and Katrina is awesome: peaceful, patient, professional, calming, and kind. Not only do I recommend her, but I will be only going to her for all of my piercing needs!

I was weary to get my helix stretched, told everyone I'd only had the last piece of jewlery in for two weeks and when the piercer went to stretch it it tore and had me punching and kicking on the table. The piercer asked me a second time, on an angry tone of voice, how long I had the last size in and I said two weeks. She LAUGHED and said the usual wait time is a month and a half and then accused me of LYING to the display woman, even though I told them both the same story and had them both inspect my ears. She didn't let me see the new jewlery, didn't give me ANY care instructions

This was by far the best piercing experience I've had.
All staff were highly professional and welcoming throughout the whole process.
It's a first come, first serve basis so we came in and it was a little crowded after opening at 1pm. We found ourselves to be 6th place and waited about 2 hours before being seen due to the groups before us having multiple people.
The piercing process itself was smooth and the piercer was extremely calm and talks you through the process. Extremely sterile and well sanitized process.
I got a double helix and my friend got a double helix plus a conch.

I came in here for a piercing.... I was referred by a regular of theirs (and a patient of mine) who knows Katrina. I walked in and asked questions to build my courage up. We wandered the block until I was ready to commit. We went in and did all the paperwork and they said about 20 minutes. What felt like an hour later, a couple walked in, got their service, checked out, then everyone disappeared. They close in about 45 minutes. We waited about 20 more minutes. It was like we were invisible.... my excitement and anticipation turned to great disappointment. Pretty devastating

Katrina was so kind! She talks you through the process and is willing to answer all your questions.
The wait time felt like nothing, but the waiting room itself was so nice!
The actual room to get pierced was super sanitized but it didnt feel impersonal like you were in a doctors office like some other places are like. I liked that because it made it easier to relax so Katrina could do the piercing. She was professional and knowledgeable but also so sweet and I trust her to do any future work!

Great atmosphere! Everyone is really positive and the place is chill and relaxed. The girl at the counter (I think her name was Sarah) and even the other piercer that was there were really attentive. I watched as they both worked together answering anyone’s questions that came in. Melody did my septum piercing. She was so sweet and caring, walked through everything she did/was going to do. I’m telling everyone about this shop!

Really kind staff, and very knowledgeable piercer. My last piercing experience at a different shop was miserable, and this was amazing in comparison. Very good prices and TONS of jewelry options.

There's no other option... If you're getting piercings this is where you should be.
Update: I've been going to CP to see the lovely Kat for 9 months, and today my mom finally got her nose pierced!!
I've had so many new sparkly additions to my body and I'm pleased to report most were custom ordered jewelry pieces I will appreciate forever. Every experience is enjoyable from checking in, jewelry gazing, and even the actual piercing moments. I know Kat is going to help me pick the correct location for each new sparkle and be there for the healing process. I can't say enough about this kind shop
