All I have to say is you pay for what you get. Worth every penny! Wish I was able to actually spend more. I know the piercings I received will heal excellently (Flat and Daith piercing). For me personally, it was painless. Depends on your pain tolerance.As for my 1st time visit, Mike is a business man, knowledgeable and most definitely experienced-31 years baby!I absolutely LOVE and APPRECIATE how clean the whole place is. Amazing selection for jewelry. Thank you Mike you are awesome. Going to come back.P.S. Forever Giants and Niners!!!!! :-)

I took my little girl here to get her ears pierced shes 4 months old. Michael took great care to make sure she was safe and the procedure was quick. It was more pricey than I expected but for me it was worth it knowing her piercing was done by a professional.

I got my septum pierced with Samantha Kodani and she was incredible! Very quick, thorough, clean, and kind. This was easily the most professional place Ive ever been to and intend on returning in the future.

Samantha was awesome, she was knowledgeable and super friendly. Great first experience with Exotic Body for both my daughter and myself.

I love my new earring piece.

Just tried going in to simply buy a piercing not get it pierced bc mine fell out yesterday... no one staffed and they turned me away... very disappointed

Love this place staff is amazing will be going for alot of stuff I am sure highly recommend

I was impressed not only with my piercing experience, but also with the care Mike took in making the environment sanitized and safe. I personally have been cautious about visiting in-house businesses since the pandemic hit, but I felt very comfortable there. Great experience and Ill definitely be back.

Pierced by Samantha who was very friendly and professional! She pierced me in a vulnerable location, but made me feel completely comfortable throughout the whole process. Good covid precautions as well!

Such an amazing place!! Michael is funny and an extreme expert!! I would recommend to his place 100%

Came here for a nostril piercing and had a great experience. Michael was nice, informative, and comforting.

I did piercing with Mike. He absolutely did not take into account the features of my body that were known to him and made the piercing in such a way that limited the ability to wear a ring of a smaller and more convenient diameter. And this is very strange given the vast experience of his work.

This is my 3rd visit here. Last time was for my teens nostril. This time is was for her belly button. Everyone Ive ever come across here is so nice. And they carry unique beautiful jewelry. Id totally get stretched just to be able to wear some of the things Ive seen here.

Got a double eyebrow by Samantha and she was great!so nice, professional, and friendly! And it turned out just perfect. Definitely coming back next time!

I went for my 16th birthday a couple years ago and they charged me $200 for a nose piercing and jewelry piece that rusted within a few months of having it. Definitely feel like I was robbed. I really don’t recommend.

Excellent service, Micheal was very professional I would definitely go back for more piercings

Very clean, private and professional but be prepared to pay cash.

The staff isnt especially friendly or helpful in answering questions, including the piercer I had. Example: No info was given regarding aftercare except use soap and water.But the healing process has been smooth sailing in comparison to other experiences so thats worth something.

Samantha did my piercings. She was super chill and the process was fast and easy. I got 3 total from her in 1 day.

The shop is very clean and well put together. Mike was absolutely phenomenal with our 4 month old baby girl and very informative. Once she was prepped and swaddled the procedure only took a few short minutes. There was only a brief spurt of tears (as each side is done seperately)until I was able to BF and comfort her; then it was nothing but smiles. She hasnt fussed or cried another tear since. We will definitely be returning for our teens helix piercing. Thanks again Mike!

Nice and clean , great safety precautions, thank for that. Awesome quality jewelry,just a lil on the expensive side. Mike pierced my infant daughters ears, Im a returning customer for more than 14 years several piercings and tattoos later, slightly upset at the guy working the counter insisting that I leave my purse out front saying i wasnt able to take with me.(even after seeing other customers with their purses in the 1st room)He was slightly rude. Couldve given me a replacement ball to my barbell free, but was still charged... all is well tho.

Had SteveO tattoo me and my girlfriend. This is her 4th and my 1st. We had to reschedule a few times due to work and he was completely understanding. He was super nice, very professional and did excellent work. Hers took about 2 hours with all the color and mine took i believe under an hour. I would recommend anyone interested to take a look at his bio on the website, this is how we found him and why we decided to go here. Before we left he went over care instructions with me and was very helpful.

Very epic and cool 😎

Took my teenager to get her ear pierced today and had a wonderful experience. The shop was clean and felt very safe. Michael is amazing. If either of us ever get another piercing we will book with Michael again. Truly a great experience.

I have spent hundreds of dollars here In Piercings and jewelry alone, I went today to replace a lip ring I lost and they wouldn’t even sell me one without an appointment. I am verry dissatisfied and will be taking my business elsewhere from now on.

Really nice people, but they wanted me to pay over 150 bucks just to get my ears pierced. No freakin thank you. Ridiculous

I took my 4 month old daughter in for her ears and Michael was absolutely amazing! He took time to show me what we were going to do before as well as what i need to do for aftercare and the best ways to comfort my baby, Michael was quick and steady handed! I would definitely recommend The Exotic Body to everyone.

They have a very clean area and stuff but I would not go there again, they make you pay ten dollars beforehand and they don’t tell you how much everything costed at first but when your going to check out, they tell you what everything costs. Almost paid $200!

My husband and I took our 4 month old daughter to get her ears pierced. Michael helped us and talked us through the process and was very gentle with our baby. We are glad we found a great place!

Impressed with how clean the place was. Temp check at the door with mask made us feel safe the entire time. Best part was how GREAT Michael was with my little girl. When she got nervous he calmed her down and walked her through the whole thing. Will never go anywhere else, great job!!!! Thank you so much

I took my 17 year old daughter in for a bellybutton piercing with Micheal and he was AMAZING!! He made my daughter not so nervous with his jokes and cool, calm manner. Definitely recommend Micheal to anyone!!!

Took my daughter here to get her ears pierced. Profesional and friendly staff, clean and safe environment as well as quality titanium jewelery. Highly recommended. Samantha Kodani made my 12 year old feel relaxed and comfortable and is also highly recommended.

My best friend got her piercing from Michael here. He was so enjoyable and educational. Excited to do future piercing there!

They pierced Lil Sammy and boy did they do a good job of it. Simple, painless, and full of wholesome memories. Good people.

I recently went in to Michael and got my nipples done. It was quick, and did not hurt as much as thought it would. Would absolutely recommend it to anyone who is looking at getting any piercings done. They were clean, sanitized, and helpful with any questions I had. If your thinking about going to a different piecer because of price. Remember that quality jewelry is better in the long run. If you cheap out on jewelry you are opening your self up to issues later on. I willBe going back for my next piercings.

I have used this shop for all of my piercings. I have never once felt talked down to or patronized. If you think its rude for the piercer to ask you not to touch your piercings in the shop, then you just dont realize how sterile they have to keep it. Michael Samantha and Pablo have always been sweet to me and mine, so I cant picture anyone mistreating anyone.

Walked in and the place was super clean. The receptionist was SUPER awesome and really nice. Max did my industrial piercing. He is awesome and really walks you through everything. Super impressed with the whole shop. Love my new piercing!

This place used to be good when Lisa worked here. She was kind and she was on top of educating us about aftercare. Ive come here for [three septum piercings, two with Lisa and one with a shorter white girl who was also so nice that I bought her donuts afterward] and then I came back for a consultation once after I got my philtrum pierced in Humboldt a year ago to ask if it was healing right. I come in and Michael Hare is there and as soon as I open my mouth with questions, he fired back condescending answers. I chalked it up to him being cranky and quirky and never mentioned it to anyone. I came back two days ago with some friends and wow thats his actual personality. Not only was his attitude patronizing and he made some fatphobic remarks to my friend... he pierces her belly button SO CROOKED. I mean... you cant brag about doing this for 12 years and do work like this. Pictures shown below. She paid $120 for this.

Everyone is so sweet and helpful but Max is always rude... This is the only place Ive gotten earrings that I havent had problems with but when he did it he did it so fast n ruff. 1 fell out a few days later and they have been irritated for a week

Fantastic place to get pierced. Professional, fast and committed to safety and hygiene. Max was my piercer and was wonderful. Funny, kept me distracted, and got the job done quickly. Will definitely be back when I figure out what else I want done.This was my first time there, I chose the place because of the reviews.....so glad I did.

I have never had a piercing. I was nervous, but my friend highly recommended this shop. I couldn’t have been happier. Samantha was amazing! Made me feel at ease and I was super impressed with the cleanliness of the place. It felt so sterile as if being in a doctors office. Definitely a 5 Star!!!

Over priced paid $200 to have my daughters ears pierced.

Paid for jewelry but didnt fit now stuck with jewelry i cant use and out money

I loved my experience at The Exotic Body!! I went in to get my second ear lobe piercing that I had been wanting for the past year. I was a bit nervous in getting the piercing just because ears pierced I got a huge infection and the overall experience was not a good one. I was nervous going to The Exotic Body because I was afraid that something bad would happen and I would get another infection. However, my whole experience was absolutely AMAZING!! When I got there, the front desk lady Bailey, was so nice and made me feel so welcomed. And then when I got called into the back, I was a bit nervous, but the woman that pierced my ears, Sam, was absolutely flawless. She made me feel so comfortable and went through the whole process with me step by step. I have had the piercings for about a week and a half now and I love them so much! I would recommend to anyone The Exotic Body and to ask for Sam because she is so great!! :-) :-)

I really like the professionalism here. I really like the cleanliness here. I really like the quality of jewelry they possess. Be prepared to pay for that too. Great staff. Great parking in front. Easy freeway access for downtown too.

Very friendly staff, I got my septum pierced here and they even custom tinted my jewelry to be the shade of gold I wanted. :’) A big selection of gauges and other piercing jewelry too! Definitely going back :)

Walked through the door to a perfectly clean parlor with lovely receptionist, Marissa. Jewelry was beautiful and the piercer, Samantha, was very efficient and skilled, but when my friend started to have second thoughts she began to behave unprofessionally and pressure her to still get the piercing. Samantha bullied my friend by ordering her to get on the table multiple times and saying in an annoyed tone that she “wasted her tools” if she were to back out. Would have given 5 stars if she hadn’t acted so childish and unprofessional.

Mike is AMAZING!!!! He was so enjoyable to be around, and made suggestions that worked out so much better than what we originally wanted. I would HIGHLY recommend coming to see Mike for a piercing.

Took baby girl to get her ears pierced. Very knowledgeable about their products and very professional. These guys are fantastic and very skilled. It was hard watching baby girl getting her ears pierced (My wife and I cried more than my baby girl) and it’s very hard to find someone to trust with your baby but they did a great job, had fantastic sterile technique, and I highly recommend them. Priced very well considering they give surgical-grade titanium with Swarovski diamond product. Especially for your little girl, you always want the best and I’m glad I found this spot.

Ive always had a great experience here. Ive had a few piercings done and I brought in my little sister to get her ears pierced, they were very patient with her when she was choosing her jewelery. Overall its a very clean, comfortable and professional environment.

Front staff and overall environment was awesome. Marissa was super helpful, the jewelry was beautiful and everything was really clean. But the piercer samantha, while technically skilled, was really aggressive and rude when my friend was having second thoughts about getting her piercing

I have been pierced by three different piercers here. All do an amazing job! I would absolutely recommend this shop for all your piercings! Absolutely recommend for children’s ear piercings too.

The environment is calming and clean. Marissa at the front greeted me with a smile and was so kind. Met with Sam to chexk.out other nose jewelry and she even put it in for meGreat shop and people.

Very nice and clean experience:) all the staff there are very welcoming. Max and Sam are very professional piercers. I will definitely be back. Very sweet receptionist Bailey was very helpful

Extremely helpful, friendly, and experienced staff! ...from picking out just the right jewellery to all my follow up/che k ups. Hands down best place in town and HUGE selection of high quality jewellery!

This place is amazing! I got my nose pierced here today and my piercer was Samantha. She did an incredible job! Such a nice caring person and was very gentle and made me feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend this place! Very clean and fantastic environment and employees!

They need to tell people when they walk in the door that if they use a debit card or credit card that they will be charged a $5.00 convenience fee. This is such a rip off!! Most people aren’t walking around with cash in their pockets on a regular basis, so most people are forced to pay their ridiculous $5.00 convenience fee. They are just too cheap to pay the merchant fee charged to their business for taking debit and credit cards. If your a business that is the cost of doing business and with the prices you charge especially with the prices you charge for your jewelry it is really sad that you feel that you are entitled to charge your customers even more money in the form of a convenience fee. You should re-exam your business practice in this area.

Steve-o has been working on my arm for years! 💜 his talent! He’s an amazing asset to your team :)

I got my ears pierced here and it did not even hurt. This place is amazing with great workers. Everyone there is as dedicate with whatever piercing you get. Highly recommend going here.

Samantha is the best piercer Ive ever been to. She is very skilled and comforting and helped me to relax during my navel piercing. Even though I had scar tissue from previous piercing, I didnt feel the needle at all! She is so talented and such a sweetheart; will definitely be coming back again to see her!

Absolutely LOVE Pablo! He has helped me pick jewelry several times and pierced me recently. Gentle, professional, informative, and made me feel totally comfortable. He quickly picked up on my taste which made me trust his opinion and guidance! The shop carries high end jewelry including Swarovski gems! Keeps its display case sparkle unlike other jewelry. Finally body jewelry that doesnt look like it was bought at the mall

Just got a piercing today and I couldn’t be happier!! Michael was so nice and made the whole experience calming and relaxing. I went with a friend who also got one and although we waited for a while, it was just fine because we knew we were getting quality care and attention and not just a rushed, sloppy job.

Mike is the best!! Very knowledgeable, fast, and knows how to take your mind off the pain!! Definietly the best price for services provided. My now one and only piercing shop!!!

Awesome job. They are the perfect place to go.!! They are professional, clean an friendly. Samantha was the BEST!! AWESOME JOB LADIES!!!

Love me some Gary. Hes a very skilled artist. Takes the time to discuss with your concerns and interest. Very accessible location and staff is friendly. Warm place.

Good place

Clean and courteous. Truly a experienced piercer. Mike was the best. Made me feel so comfortable, all my nervousness went away. It happened so fast I actually had no time to be nervous. Would recommend this place, highly. ⭐️

This is possibly the worst piercing/tattoo shop I have ever been in customer service wise. Every visit Ive had the employees have never really been pleasant. But during my last visit their employee with the butterfly tattoo on her cheek had asked if we needed help and I let her know that we were just browsing. She offered to show us more jewelry in the back so we followed her to the back room where she had asked to check my tunnel size. So I had taken my tunnel out to give her so she could check. She rudely advised that they dont want you to touch your ears and touch their doors. If she would have politely told me prior that she would remove my tunnel with gloves on her hands I would not have removed it myself. After she had removed my plug she then told me to wash my hands in a rude tone as well. I apologized and washed my hands. Then after she had pulled a few plug options from the back to show me I had decided I wanted to wait a little longer to buy my next size. She at that point mumbled under her breathe seriously...? Confused I said yes? because I had told her I was just browsing in the main room. Then she stated that she pulled all these options out for me and was very rude just because I didnt want to buy something right that second. She gave my tunnel back to me in the baggy she was holding it in. She then went straight to helping my girlfriend look for a new septum ring. She had not offered to put my tunnel back in. After sitting for a second, waiting, I finally decided Im going to put my tunnel in myself so I grabbed a glove from the box on the wall to use since they dont want you to touch your ears. She then rudely said Oh. You want your plug back? I didnt know they didnt want customers touching their ears. Again if they would have stated that I would have gladly let her put my tunnel in my ear. But when she did put my tunnel back in my ear she was very rough with my ear and seemed angry as she put it in my ear and surprisingly made my ear hurt. Which isnt something that happens when I take my plugs in and out of my ears when cleaning them.Then she told me I could wait for my girlfriend out in the front.My girlfriend had let me know that she was super nice to her throughout helping her. But thinks that she was extremely rude to me and that it was unwarranted.I will never go back to The Exotic Body, nor will I recommend this shop to anyone ever again.Try Chief Piercing located downtown. Theyre just as clean and have a great jewelry selection except the customer service is 100% better than here.

I went to The Exotic Body today to have my nipple pierced for the second time. The entire shop is clean and safe. Samantha was my piercer and she was absolutely amazing. Extremely thoughtful, kind, and talented. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you! I will be back for future piercings.

Got my first tattoo there and definitely not my last! I got a matching beautiful rose piece that looks so clean! Great people and even better tattoo artists, I would definitely recommend!

Got my nose pierced here and I love this place! Awesome staff that are genuinely knowledgeable and very nice people. I would recommend them to anyone!

I got a nose piercing done here and Samantha was so kind and patient with me. She really listened to me during my consultation and answered all my questions and made sure that my anatomy would be correct for the piercing I chose. I love my piercing and would definitely come here again.

Hubby and I took our 17 year old in for a nose ring re-piercing (3rd time) and were going to get our 5 month old her ears pierced because I saw a review on here from 8 months ago saying they pierced their infants ears. Figured weve been here a few times and they were nice. This time the lady behind the counter seemed aggravated we brought our infant in and immediately said NOPE! That baby cannot be in here! The sign on the door says nobody under 14!!Im curious to know if the rules have changed in the past 8 months but either way...she was so rude, we wont be back.

Decided to get my tongue pierced here after a recommendation from a friend that got his done at this location. Pablo was super friendly, knew what he was talking about, and got the job done with quality jewelry for a really solid price. I do recommend that you BRING CASH as they have a fee for using a card and their ATM doesn’t allow you to withdraw the appropriate amount of money (my piercing was around $62 after tax and it only let me pull out $60-80). I’ve never bothered to leave a review before either, so hopefully that shows you how pleased I was with this shop. I don’t see any reason to look into any other shops if you’re looking for a quick and easy piercing at a good price. A+

Previous to Exotic Body, I had gone to Claires for ear piercings and the experience is not forgotten, comparisons I dont really draw because its apples and oranges.Anyway, this review is meant for the staff not for customers. If you are looking for some reason to come here, scratch that and just come to check it out and build your own opinion of the place.I like the people: they are authentic, know where the professional boundary lies and treated me with dignity. I felt that the whole process of getting my spider bite was an autonomous one; I didnt feel like a commission sale, or a child (P.S. you cannot feel inferior without self consent). So what I am saying is, I had a good experience: I followed after care instructions and any time I had questions about getting my jewelry put back in, they did it for free. It was awesome. I felt well-taken care of and all along the way, the staff were a team. I couldnt have asked for a better batch of human beings to help me with my first facial piercing. :)

Client of Exotic Body for piercings and tattoos. I recommend this shop due to its friendly staff, customer-focused experience, and overall cleanliness. The woman named Samantha who does majority of the piercings is awesome! She makes you feel comfortable and I trusted her abilities since she has been piercing for over 15 years.

Really professional. The staff was just as excited as my daughter.

Went there with my wife. She had nipples pierced Samantha performed the piercing She was super sweet and very relaxed. The studio was very clean and everyone was very friendly.

This place is very professional, I used them for an industrial piercing 6 years ago and they were the first people I thought of for my nose piercing. I had done it myself with a safety pin when I was younger but had let it heal, so there was some scar tissue but Mike did a really great job. It was quick and the pain was minimal, and it was exactly how I wanted it. They explained aftercare for me and asked if I had any questions, and the healing is going well. The only thing I dislike about this shop is that every time Ive been here theyve tried to up-sell me on the jewelry, and they push pretty hard even after youve said no once. If you can stand your ground though, this is definitely the shop to use!

Beautiful place, clean, and friendly. Very personable. Helped my friend put her conch piercing back in. VERY VERY expensive, but the pieces are so beautiful and unique, its worth it for most to spend the extra (think $200-$700 for the jewelry alone) money. I believe its justified because of the quality of the pieces and the security knowing theyre warrantied against defects. Beautiful lobby. They have a nest thermostat which to me showed theyre tech savvy, had an ATM right in the store, and what looked like a garden out back. Really chill environment.

The best shop Ive ever been to. Know their stuff. From the receptionist to the owner to PABLO I had the most welcoming experience of any shop Ive been to. Pablo was so gentle and sweet as he helped me change out my jewlery. Will be back and I highly recommend.

Up to date with sanitary precautions, has a hefty selection of lovely high quality jewelry, and such lovely people!Definitely will recommend.

I got my first piercing by Max, and be made me feel so comfortable about the experience!

I went to another local, well known tattoo/piercing shop in Roseville this past spring to get some old & closed-up earlobe holes repierced. After a horrible experience with an unskilled and unsanitary piercer, and after allowing my ear several months to heal, I came to Exotic Body on a recommendation for another repiercing. Max was amazing. Super friendly & SUPER clean. I absolutely recommend him. This shop is on the pricier side, but you get what you pay for & its totally worth it. Thank you Max!!!

They do a wonderful job piercing. I first got my ears pierced at Claires and they kept on getting infected. I went to exotic body. And they guaged them and they healed up nicely.

Super friendly staff. Our walk-in appointment was smooth and quick. I got my first two tattoos here, and it has only gotten better.

Great for getting my little girls ears pieced. Got it done at 6 months old. Shes 2 now. Still wearing the same earrings. No problems whatsoever.

Really great experience! Super clean and sanitary! Everyone there was extremely friendly. (^o^)

Got my naval piercing today, it was less painful then I expected. Samantha did a really good job. Place is really nice and clean. Great customer service.

First time in, got a pair of cartilage piercings. Nice selection of jewelry. The piercing room was full of sunlight and very comfortable, and my piercer, Samantha, was funny and chill. That and her 13 years experience made for a nice visit. Ill be back.There is a $5 fee for paying with a card. They said cash was the other option so I guess Ill have to remember to bring some next time.Update 2/2020: Went back to get help with a troubled piercing and the young guy said I needed to keep it cleaner and it would heal. It had already been a year. Came back two weeks later and he said I needed a longer post and I shouldnt have waited so long to get help. Annoying.

The only place Ill get a piercing.

I give this shop 5 stars. i got my belly pierced. the ladys name is samantha, she was very professional, and very polite. she pierced my navel very quick, and didnt hurt at all.

Septum piercing for my kiddo. Super clean, friendly, nice people, did not rush anything. Definitely worth the price!

This place has awesome jewelry. I kept driving by until one day I finally went in. Im so glad I did. I like my new nose ring. I dont have to worry about it falling out or being pulled out by accident.

Clean place,nice staff but unfortunately the dimples on my face piercing are serverly uneven and I will now have to go to another place to fix it

I love this place!! The vibe is great and so relaxing! It is Immaculately clean!! They are the only place in Sacramento that is part of the PPA which is so important when you are getting pierced. The staff is so friendly and reassuring!!! I just got my verticle hood piercing, and Sam was awesome!! Super knowledgeable, she explained everything to me perfectly!! I could not be happier!! Highly recomend her!

Love love love this place. Wont go anywhere else!!! Highly recommend...❤❤

Max was a champ and handled a today or clients during mothers day. Was super efficient and polite to my gf who was getting pierced. She was so happy with her philtrum piece by the end. Worth every penny.

Awesome staff and very helpful. Answered all my questions fully and completely. Also very patient when showing jewelry. Great experience.

They were so nice! They did awesome! I definitely recommend this place!
