Dawson and Jacob are amazing! Dawson is very helpful and knowledgeable. Great customer service! Jacob is an absolute sweetheart! I came to him with some seriously messed up piercings and he removed them with SUCH care! Omg, I cant tell you how sweet he was! I went through a lot of pain there and he was so amazing through it all! I love the guys at Apogee! Highly recommend this place! The jewelry is gorgeous and so is the studio! No complaints at all! Ill be back for all my piercing and jewelry needs

I got my industrial pierced here a year or so ago and it was an incredible experience, so much so that I told myself Id only be going here for piercings any time I wanted one. However, when I wanted a spur of the moment piercing later in the night with a friend we went somewhere else, and that was a mistake. When I started having complications with my nostril piercings, I called Apogee right away because I knew I could actually trust them to really take care of me, and they did. We ended up having to swap out jewelry on two fresh piercings (obviously do NOT try at home), which I would NOT have trusted the other shop I went to to do. They were kind, understanding, and patient with me and helped me get set with proper jewelry that could actually allow my nose to heal properly. Every person Ive interacted with here has been incredibly knowledgeable and friendly as well.This entire experience has only further cemented in my mind that Apogee is the only place in San Diego that I want to go to get pierced. I cannot recommend them enough.

Walked in and was instantly greeted by the two friendliest guys. They showed me all my options, gave me space while i looked and considered, helped me make some choices when I asked, then brought my right to the back to change out my ring for me. Super clean, wicked chill, extremely kind, great quality, and really fast. 10/10 would recommend

Love Apogee; the guys are so friendly. The new shop is great and the shop is also super clean and they are always sanitizing everything. The guys are great at walking thru the jewelry choices with prices. I live out of state now and every time I go back to OB I have them change out my jewelry; I dont trust anyone else. These guys rock!!

They are so friendly here! I just got a quick jewelry change with Evan and was in and out in just a few minutes, but it was a really nice experience overall. I will definitely be back here and would recommend to anyone!

They have a nice selection of jewelry, for beginners and advanced piercings. I just needed replacements for existing piercings. They put them in to make sure it was a perfect fit. Service was excellent.

Love this place. Probably one of the best shops in town!

Absolutely love this body piercing shop. A big selection of jewelry. Use titanium and gold for their jewelry. Jacob was amazing. Went over aftercare even though I had several other piercings.

Super clean and welcoming shop. well lit, jewelry and adornments on display. all high quality jewelry and the staff is amazing! Dawson provided me tons of information, jokes, and was super personable. definitely my favorite shop to get pierced at and shop jewelry!

It was perfect! Thank you, Evan, for a great experience! Ill be back on my next trip out to San Diego, for sure

Chill studio.Evan is awesome.New location is across the street from previous location.Strongly recommend..L8

I went here for a Medusa piercing and a couple random changeouts on several existing piercings…I made an appointment as recommended and was so glad I did as this shop seems to get a lot of walkin traffic! Upon arrival, my first impression was a clean, organized piercing shop who clearly valued quality and cleanliness. All the jewelry available was gold or titanium (minus things like stone plugs which they have a HUGE variety of btw!) the desk and piercers were all friendly and informative, and very honest with me which I appreciate, especially when it comes to facial piercings! My piercer was super helpful when it came to choosing jewelry, and once chosen it only took him about 5 minutes to set up before calling me back. He talked me through the entire process andexplained what he was doing as he went along, and not only double but triple checking the placement. The whole process was maybe 30 minutes including my change outs. during just the casual conversation I found out he’s been doing this nearly 30 years!! It was reassuring to know that even doing it this long he is still very thorough and careful with his craft! The titanium jewelry has been a blessing! I chose this shop upon finding out they didn’t offer anything less quality related than implant grade titanium (no stainless steel) and this is the first piercing I have had that’s not had any infection or rejection issues. The price was average for what you’d expect to pay for good quality in this area but I would be willing to pay far more for the service and quality I received from apogee.

I went to change my vch piercing, they took time to show me and explain even it was busy, the piercer who change the jewel did it in very clean condition, fast. They have beautiful jewels, I recommend

I got my first piercing from this place and I had an amazing experience. The people were really cool the piercing came out great. Evan did my piercing and the whole time he was cool and he was cool to talk to and he really knew what he was doing. I’m Definitely going to be coming here for all my piercings I would recommend to place to all the people I know.

Spent $150+ on nipple piercings with Evan last november just for them to 1. give me too small of a bar and 2. pierced my nipples incorrectly as i just found out from another, amazing shop i went to. when i changed out the jewelry it was already too late and they were super infected, bloody and scabbing.

This is as legit as it gets. Beautiful jewelry. Clean and beautiful shop. Great people.

This is my favorite. The employees are amazing. I’ve didn’t time and services with peck and Luis over time. It’s where I take my kid and refer my friends. Very professional and clean. Supportive of those of us with nerves and shared education with clients very thoroughly.

Evan is amazing. He was very professional and very knowledgeable about piercings. I really appreciate his help and how friendly he was!

Looked like a cool and clean place but we didnt have an appointment so we didnt use their service.

Kind of expensive but excellent quality in body jewelry! I’ve had my belly button ring for 7 years, lost the head and they were able to replace it for me! It’s still in perfect condition even after all this time.

Really great first time experience. Dawson and Evan were amazing. They answered all my questions and were very understanding. Highly recommend Apogee and these guys.

My friend recommended I go here for my forward helix piercing after she had a piercing done here a few years ago. They did a fantastic job on it and answered all my questions about what they were doing throughout the whole process. They have a great selection of high quality jewelery for the piercing, the cost of the jewelry isnt cheap but youre paying for quality and the healthiness of the piercing so its more than worth it. Will definitely go again for my next one.

Came to get a new jewelry for my PA and possibly go a size up. Guys were professional and didnt try to upsell. Go online and set up for an appointment. Had them do the insert, change for the new jewelry.

This place is awesome! I thought all my piercings had closed up and I would have to pay to have them redone. Evan and team told me they were still open and I just had to pay for new jewelry. So happy! Definitely recommend.

They were super cool and very incredibly sweet. They reassured me I would be fine several times. My ear lobes feel just fine.

Great service, professional and fast.

My husband purchased some earings and they could not install as they did not have the proper tool. He was sent to another referred to another shop and they could not put them in either.After his wild goose chase he got fed up and purchased another pair from another shop and they delivered the earrings.First of all if they’re going to sell the earrings and say they can deliver them then that’s what they should do and they should communicate if they’re going to try to deliver them at a later date. No refund was offered due to their mistake.

Luis is amazing! Barely any pain and helped me decide on another piercing when he told me my ear wouldnt work for an industrial. The shop is clean the prices are affordable and then you go hang in OB

These guys are the best. Ive gotten two piercings there and my 16 year old son got his first piercing there, too. They are super kind and easy going. They really take care of you there. Great jewelry, too!

These are the nicest folks! I went in looking for a piece that would be work appropriate and they took lots of time to show me options, measure my piercing for a new piece and offered to help me with putting in the new one. I am so pleased with their friendliness, I am contemplating a new piercing just so I can go back and hang with them! They do have jewelry for sale and very knowledgeable staff. Also parking out front and totally walkable to the beach!

Evan was super awesome. So nice and the place was super clean. Not my first time being pierced but I highly recommend!

Great place, very clean and efficient. I was pierced by Luis for my septum, he was very knowledgeable about what he was doing. Always told me what was going on a why throughout the process. Super kind dude, would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

These guys are great!!! I came in today just wanting some new jewelry and the guys were so nice and welcoming I ended up getting my nose pierced! it was professional, quick and I felt so comfy. if your looking for a solid shop come here!!!

Peck is awesome! A super personable and genuine guy. Best quality jewellery and unique options to choose from..i wont go anywhere else. I moved to San Diego from Michigan and my piercer over there (at Kitten Flower boutique) referred me to Apogee because of how great they are!

HOLES UP GREAT GUYS & GIRLS

A-plus shop. Went in, Evan and Peck were amazing. They answered all of my questions, made me feel completely welcome. They carry only high quality jewelry from the top American body jewelry companies. When I San Diego this is the place to go.

Love these guys! Peck is awesome. Experienced and professional piercers. Great selection of body jewelry. Always happy to change out jewelry for me.

Recently moved into the area and this place came highly recommended from a friend based on my jewelry taste. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and made me feel super comfortable. They even knew my piercers from back home! Awesome jewelry selection and an amazing experience getting pierced there!

Great products and staff was super friends except for one, thats why the star off. Everyone was super friendly, professional, and the products are quality and if they dont have something in theyll order it for you. :)

Best piercing Ive ever had done. I got a second nose piercing and it was quick and painless. Super friendly & great prices. Id highly recommend.

I have had many piercings over the years. Recently, I was pierced by another establishment and after about a week, I was experiencing heightened pain and discomfort. I walked into Apogee and was greeted with a friendly smile and a bounty of professionalism. I consulted with the staff and received a lot of information and explanation that was unfortunately not presented to me by the original piercer. Apogee provide the proper instructions and supplies for after care. I am on my way to being fully healed and I could not be more pleased with my decision to stop in and ask for help. If I ever get any future piercings, it will only be here! I highly recommend this shop to anyone and thanks again for your help!

Left a few minutes ago. Love my Ashley piercing, very well centered. I really like that I wasnt left with a clamp on my lip for an eternity.

I moved to SD last year and had no idea where to go for my future piercings. I read all the great reviews online from this place and figured I’d call to check it out. The guy who answered the phone, Evan, was super nice and helpful in answering my questions. He even remembered me when I went in later that day. I got a conch piercing and could not be happier! The placement is perfect and barely painful. The shop is super clean and cozy and I had a great experience. I’d definitely recommend going here and I’ll be back.

It was easy and quick. The staff are very nice and helpful.

Was charged $198 for 3 pieces of body jewelry.... no actual piercing. They were cubic zirconia and for an ear lobe. I returned them. Clearly, a place to get ripped off. Cool.

Apogee Piercing came highly recommended from a girlfriend. I had my nose pierced by Peck and am thrilled with the result. I highly recommend Peck for any if your piercing needs.

I went in to see about a cartilage earring that I could remove easily. I have had my piercing for over 7 months and I took the piercing out myself for the first time. When I went into Apogee and explained what I wanted, they told me they didn’t have that but they could try some spacer thing. I agreed to see it, Luis Pingarron gave me a huge lecture about me needing to get my priorities straight and he talked to me as if I was stupid and didn’t know what I was asking for. He took me into the room and gave me more of a lecture about my priorities I asked a few questions and his answer was you do what you gotta do. I went to another piercing place and they said he had irritated my piercing more and even cut me. It was definitely not a friendly or professional environment I will be going back to. If you are looking for a professional and friendly environment go to SD Tattoo Shop. I went in and explained what happened Jay Voodoo and the rest of the staff took great care of me and what I wanted.

I just had my 4 month old daughters ears pierced here by Puck. He was super nice and very knowledgeable. I felt that he really took his time and made 100% sure that things were done right. He even posed for pictures at the end for her baby book! :-)

Let me start of by saying that I have done hundreds of piercings for both myself and friends and others... anything from ears to genital piercings to surface piercing.... my girlfriend and I walked in there today and were greeted by a guy who I believe was named Louis. Maybe something else ... not 100% sure... but regardless. ...I asked for a piercing needle and was told that they dont sell them there, I said thats fine... we will just take a look at the jewelry. He proceeded to try to get my Gfs attention and ask her name.. she was busy looking at the jewelry. .. he asked her what her name was several times, I responded .. her name is.. .. he ignored me.. he asked again and finally she turned around and acknowledged his question. He proceeded to say... while some like our friend over here have done hundreds, I myself have done thousands of piercings. We dont recommend in home piercings, if you buy the jewelry Ill do the piercings for free.. she told him I want my boyfriend to do it. He proceeded to put me down and basically call us stupid for wanting to pierce at home. He then told us that the jewelry was 60$. I have never paid that much for jewelry in my life.Basically I cant even put it all in words to completely describe the situation in its entire severity. You know the saying its not what you say but how you say it? Well he said the wrong things in the wrong way.... he was rude, unprofessional, condescending, sanctimonious, and all around unpleasant.I will make sure that no one I know ever goes near here.

I got my nose pierced here and it was AMAZING! If you want to get your nose pierced be sure to get Evan. He gave me all the needed information about how to take care of it and was very friendly. It was a aweosme experience!

I had my left nostril pierced here on a great recommendation from a friend. Peck pierced me and did a great job. I love it! 💗

Dont even bother with any other shops. Apogee is the best place to go. The service and quality are top notch.

I had a very nice experience love my piercing

Luis was so kind and accommodating. If you need a piercing, this is the place to go. I endorse the daith piercing for pain in your brain you can feel in your teeth.

Evan was awesome!! I have wanted to get a small diamond nose piercing for a long time but have been too nervous...Evans calm demeanor and expertise made the experience incredible!! Would definantly recommend this shop...very clean/sterile with knowledgable/professional employees...walked out a very satisfied customer...they even provide the salts necessary to clean my piercing and 3 days later now it looks and feels healthy and great!!

Staff were amazing!! Absolutely live my piercing and my next vacay Ill be there to get my last piercing... 100 thumbs up

Ive only been here two times, once to get my nose pierced and the 2nd time to get it retightened. I got my nose pierced on both sides bt Luis, hes so cool. He seems very wise and just worldly.. getting my nose pierced took a long time but during that I realized piercing is truly an art form. He was so meticulous on trying to plan for the piercings to look as perfect as they could specifically for my face. It was very endearing and admirable. I will never go anywhere else to get pierced, Im sure the other piercers are just as skillfull.Also, it was a walk-in and I waited only about 5 minutes, and when I went in the 2nd time to get my loose piercing tightened Luis did it for free (:

Great place. PECK helped me out with a peircing. Put me at ease as he walked me through the procedure. A real pro.

Cruised in for new septum jewelry and was greeted so warmly and treated 100% with respect. Great selection great pricing. Thank you!

Peck did a great job on my piercing and on my daughters ears. Highly recommended.

They way I was talked to was very patronizing. The people gave me a very unpleasant and weird vibe so I left. They should work on the way they talk to customers. Annoyed the hell outta me.

Friendly staff and not overly strict about things. Decent prices for switching jewelry.

The only place I will go in San Diego to get a piercing. The employees are 100% professional and always greet you with a smile ❤😁.

Im a minor and went to get my nose pierced and all the guys there are super chill and dont pressure you at all. def going back there again.

Amazing place. High qualified staff, who really know their job. Plus the salon is clean and all tools are sanitized. Thank you guys!!

Great looking place. Very knowledgeable, beautiful collection of jewelry.

Professional and knowledgeable piercers, only the highest quality jewelry, and aq esome customer service . Been getting pierced here for many years. Always a pleasant experience. Always leave satisfied!Best piercing shop in sd!

So I wanted to get a new piercing today. Unfortunately I am the only piercer at the shop right now. So I had to go outside my shop family to get the piercing that I wanted. As you know when ever you look for service in an industry that you work in, you are even more critical of where you go. So I looked at almost every shop around town and came across Apogee in OB. From the very first phone call, Mija answered the phone, she was super cool and took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel very comfortable before I even got there. Now working for another shop and going to get work done somewhere else can be sketchy at time to say the least. There are time when some people in this business are less than welcoming when they find out your from another shop. I walked in the door and Mija remembered me from our call. I thought that was way cool, BTW what a sexy name. Instantly she knew I was from another shop and made me feel even more welcome like I was part of their family. The shop looked so cool inside. They had all kinds of different piercing art and rituals hanging up from all over the world. Incredibly clean shop as well. We have all seen the places that make you a little nervous, but these guy have their act together and the place is pristine. I met Luis, who was to be my piercer. Right away he was all smiles and nice to meet ya. He took me back for the piercing. There were about three people waiting to get pierced but Luis was every bit as meticulous as I would have been. He did not rush just to get to the next customer. I was impressed with everything from how clean and sterile his setup was to his technique. It was really cool to watch another piercer work. He really went the extra mile to make sure everything about my piercing was perfect before he did it. With 13 years experience Im sure I could learn a few things from Luis. Overall great guy and piercer. Super calm and professional the whole time. The piercing came out absolutely PERFECT. At the risk of loosing business at my own shop I have to give these guys my highest recommendation and my up most respect. Shops like this really make me excited and proud to be apart of this industry. Ill definitely go back just to hang out if nothing else.Sincerely-Mason, Blue Tattoo Cafe
