I cant thank him enough for the amazing experience! He has done 7 of my piercings and everytime its more n more enjoyable. Thank you again for being so professional. Ill never go to another piercer. Shawn is hands down the best person Ive ever had the pleasure of meeting. Thank you again for all my amazing work!

Such a great atmosphere in this shop! All of the artists were welcoming and nice. Church did my tattoo and he was extremely understanding of my situation. (Had to make some changes to the tattoo and time, since Im moving) he was very personable and fun to talk to. Plus my tattoo is beautiful and I love it. Definitely spend your $$$ here, youll be happy you did.

Never had such a kinda, caring and quick piercing with very good after care instructions that Shawn also gives you to take home! Top notch I shall return again thanks Shawn youre the best!

Got tattooed by Church and it’s the best tattoo I have by far. Very cool atmosphere, very mellow and clean. Church was as professional as they come. Highly recommended!

Quick, easy, and almost painless piercing. Shawn is great!

Awesome artist. Very clean shop

I been wanting to get a piercing for so long and finally got it here by Shawn. Definitely recommend going here. He’s very friendly and makes you feel comfortable. The people there are very welcoming and on time!

Great Place! Went to see Shawn for a piercing & he is the Best in town hands down! The tattoo artists are all excellent. Aaron is 1 of the Best you can get anywhere. They sterilized every surface between clients & take the time to talk to you to make sure they know what you want & explain what you need to know & how to care for it. The shop itself is a neat place being in part of the old icehouse. You will get top notch, professional, quality service here! Highly Recommend Shawn for piercing & Aaron for tattoos!

One of the best tattoo shops in Bakersfield.The artists are top notch. Very chill environment.

Amazing artists in a great atmosphere! Justin James is truly talented and professional!

Shawn did my inner flat ear piercings. He was down to earth and did an awesome job. The place was clean and he kept everything very sterile. I love my new piercings ❤❤❤

Enjoyed my visit very nice place. Everyone was friendly. Shawn did an amazing job! Very clean and professional. Was able to do a Daith piercing on my tiny ears. Other piercers said they couldn’t. Thanks again Shawn!😄🙌

Shawn pierced my 11 year old daughters ears. She had them pierced about 4 years or so ago at the mall. They became infected so she was scared this would happen again. Shawn was professional and very knowledgeable. He gave her a sense of comfort, especially since she isn’t very keen on needles and with her prior ear piercing experience. He talked her through the process which was something he didn’t have to do but he did because he saw she was nervous. The shop and environment is very clean and all piercing tools used were brand new. I recommend to everyone that if you’re going to get your ears pierced do it with a needle, not a gun. And now I recommend this man to anyone who wants a piercing. My daughter is already ready for her second hole... thanks Shawn again.

Went to see Shawn at Third Energy Tattoo to get my Daith piercing done. Clean establishment. Friendly staff.

SoOoOo in love with my higher nostril piercings! Shawn is hilarious and made the experience great for both my mom and I. (We got matching! ) Hes done almost all our jewelry and we will continue to come back for more! 11/10 would recommend :) *great prices *quality work *super clean (he even wiped down the seat after me so itd be fresh for my mom!) *comfortable experience

Great tattoo place emily does a great job

Justin is the best!

Took my daughter to have her nose pierced and Shawn was very informative and explained after care. He wasnt in a hurry to just get her out of the chair for his next client he had my daughter reiterate after care to make sure she was paying attention. Definitely recommend him.

About 4 months ago I got a navel piercing done by Shawn it was very professional and a very sterile clean environment he was very nice and made me feel comfortable. Ive had a couple bad experiences in the past with different piercing places and this one was great Ive had no issues with my piercing since the start! He went over all of the information and made sure I understood his cleaning process. I highly recommend him and will be going to him with any future piercings. This is the only photo I have of the piercing right now its not the best quality but its with the basic jewelry I chose for the piercing.

Probably the coolest shop in Bakersfield. Doesnt even feel like youre in Bakersfield when you walk in. Super clean shop. Church has tattooed me multiple times and working on a large back piece. I love going to this shop.

When my daughter asked to get her nose pierced Shawn was not only first choice but my only choice! She was nervous but Shawn was so polite, professional and put her right at ease. If you are looking to get piercings you gotta go see Shawn he is by far the best! Thanks Shawn for taking great care of my daughter.

I went in here yesterday wanting to get an industrial piercing on my ear done. I walked in and not only was Third Energy very clean but the vibe was amazing and everyone seemed very friendly/funny. I’ve never felt so welcomed at a tattoo/piercing shop! I had been communicating with Shawn a couple days prior about coming in and pricing and he was quick to get back to me every single time. He was so nice when I met him in person and he has a personality that makes you feel comfortable getting things like this done. He will have you laughing, smiling to get through that pain lol. Shawn is very thorough, precise and organized! When doing my piercing, he was the only artist I’ve ever been to that’s actually cared about telling me different positions of the piercing so it will be more flattering for my ear for the same piercing I want. Others at different shops I’ve been to I tell them what I want, they ask if I like it when marking and they just pierce it. I will definitely always come back to Shawn for any piercing I get done and will always recommend him to everyone! He is an incredible artist and you won’t regret going to Third Energy!

Great job first tatoo love it!

Shawn did an excellent job piercing my daughters tragus (both ears). He was very professional and friendly. Very friendly and clean environment. Will return for more piercings. Thank you Shawn!

Shawn has done all of my piercings. I am a huge baby about needles but he has a way for being super calm and confident in a way that it’s calming to the client. He is super clean and does not mess around about the sterility of his stuff. He autoclaves all of his tools and cleans everything in front of you and waits to prep until you are in the chair so you know everything is still sterile. I broke my nose when I was a kid and had some major self confidence issues with my nose, I would not take photos at certain angles because of it. Shawn pierced my nose and really helped make me confident about taking photos with my nose still in the photo! He is very prompt and courteous about answering any questions I had and he even helped me change out my piercing when I was scared of doing it myself. Shawn is a great guy and I would not trust any one else to stab me with needles.

I got 3 butterflies by Emily and I love them! She was so calm and so kind! The place is really cool! The waiting area isnt that big thou and a lot of people were waiting for piercings but it was a great place

My 11 year old daughter and I came in to get our ear lobes pierced and I was so impressed with the shop! The staff was very welcoming while we waited for Shawn to finish with the client before us. When it was our turn, Shawn walked us back to his station, checked our IDs and had me fill out the appropriate forms. When we were finished with that, he helped us pick out our jewelry, explaining all the choices we had with no pressure to upsell us on more expensive pieces. Then it was time to get down to business - every step of the way Shawn meticulously cleaned, then unwrapped the piercing tools and the jewelry we selected. He carefully marked our ears, I was very happily surprised to note that he used calipers to make sure his markings were centered. He explained every step to me and my very nervous daughter and was extremely professional. His aftercare instructions were very clear, printed, and he even went the extra step to explain HOW his method of cleaning would work.I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Shawn or return for future piercings. As a mom, it was a great experience to take my daughter to a clean, professional shop and know that she was in capable hands and in an extremely sanitary environment.

Went here for a piercing. Shawn has done a piercing for me before and he was wonderful, that was when he was over on Oak street. But unfortunately my experience this time around was less than satisfactory. The place did not smell clean. It reeked of pot. I had taken my daughter to go with me so when she wants to get her ears pierced she wont be scared but they dont allow children under 14. I guess Shawn was busy so a tattoo artist who was with a client yelled from across the room to ask what I needed. There is a reception desk but no receptionist. There was another woman waiting when I got there and there was a couple who came in after me who ended up waiting as well. I left because no one was there to help me or even just take a message if the person is busy.

Shawn is the absolute best! He has a way of making a nerve wrecking experience extremely calm. His customer service skills are top notch! I have extremely sensitive ears and his jewelry has never reacted negatively in way; never turned green or corroded at all. One of my piercings was giving me a hard time so I messaged Shawn and within minutes he told me exactly to do. Best piercing experience, hands down!

My tattoo wasnt exactly what I was expecting but better!! I love the way it was done and how great it is. The environment is definitely friendly and I enjoyed being around the people I was around. My tattoo artist definitely knew how to portray what I wanted onto my skin and at a great price too. I highly recommend Aaron at this location 😊

Ive gotten two piercings by shawn and my daughter (14) has as well. He has always been extremely professional. Makes everyone feel at home and comfortable. I always recommend Shawn to anyone needing a piercing done. Hands down the best in Bakersfield!

Theres a reason this shop is rated so high. Our family has been part of tattoo culture for over 8 decades both in Europe and the states and this shop really stands out. The atmosphere and the talent are all outstanding. Will be returning.

Amazing artists, professional and very clean shop. Highly recommend

I will not let anyone pierce me expect for Shawn. He deserves every ounce of popularity and success he has. I was lucky enough to have Shawn pierce me in college and now 8+ years later, I still go to him! I live on the East Coast now but just had him pierce me again last week! Ive referred countless friends to him and they all have nothing but positive things to say about their experiences. He is extremely professional, educated, and truly an expert in his field...and not bad on the eyes! haha. He goes by first come first serve so be sure to message him and give him a heads up. Be sure to follow his after care instructions he gives you!

Friendly staff and the girl who pierced my ears was VERY informative and answered all my questions. And they even give you a travel sized soap after your visit with them. Will definitely be returning for other piercings!

FOUND THE BEST !!!!!!Needed a tattoo artist to fix a tattoo. CERTIFIED professional artists, nice attitude good clean place. Affordable !!!!!$$$ if you want a place to get a tattoo well check them out.💪👊👊💪💪✌✌😎😎😎👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👀👂tell la friend. Keep it up guys.

I got septum done in 2017 and two helix piercings today all by Shawn and he is amazing! his technique and care make sure the process is minimal he is always very thorough and kind. my favorite piercer and would always highly recommend

Got my daith piercing from Shawn. He was professional and very knowledgeable. He was funny and eased my fears and the piercing was so fast! It immediately began to ease my two day migraine. I could not be more grateful. Plus it looks super cute! It was also very affordable. I was expecting to pay much more. He is providing an amazing service.

Shawn was phenomenal—clean, quick, painless, personable, and good prices. I got three piercings total: tragus and two lobe piercings. Highly recommend!

I had the Tragus piercing done on both ears from Shawn. He’s very kind and knowledgeable, knows what he’s doing and enjoys it. I’m glad I came here. My piercings look great and are healing very nicely, thanks Shawn!!!

The staff are very friendly and i felt comfortable in the shop. Each of the artists are very very good at what they do. I have gotten three tattoos from here from Kelly. Love them.

The piercer was really professional and knew exactly what he was doing. I definitely recommend Shawn as someone’s anyone goes to if they are looking to get work done. The atmosphere was nice and all together felt so comfortable and happy with the results.

This is a very nice and very clean shop. The peircing artist Shawn is also great. However, I had an unpleasant experience with one of the tattoo artists here, which made it disappointing altogether. Now I have an unfinished peice that I paid for in full. I can understand someone cancelling appointments for emergencies or just not replying due to various important reasons. But scheduling appointments and not showing up is bad business. And I was cancelled at least 4 times and the 5th time was a full no show. dont care how good someone is at what they do. If they cant value you and your time as a paying customer then they dont need your business. Chris came highly recommended but being as that may be, having my time played around with wasnt worth it . I normally dont leave bad reviews, but I hope this person gets their act together .

Ive gotten a tattoo from oz, and I recommended him to my cousin who also go one on her foot. Love my tattoo. I also had my husband go in. He got his done by Justin james and it came out great. Very nice guys. I definitely recommend this place. The atmosphere, the receptionist, and the artists are all amazing and friendly.

Shawn is the best piercer in Bako HANDS DOWN! If you want the job done right go to the best. Excellent tattoo artists here as well!

Clean comfortable atmosphere and great people all around. Aaron is an amazing artist and we would never go anywhere else!

Shawn did my daith piercing! The customer service was great! He explained everything very well. My sis in law did her first daith piercing with him and went for the second one so I decided to join her.Ill definitely be back!

So in love with the piercings I got from Shawn. He did an amazing job and made me feel so comfortable and made it less nerve racking than I thought it was gonna be ! 20/10 recommend him for ANY PIERCINGS

Shawn is the only one I trust to do any piercings on anyone. He recently pierced my oldest son’s ears and was very professional, hygienic and helpful. I really appreciate that Shawn will not pierce without ID and student ID and birth certificate of my son tying us all together. Shawn pierced my nose a few years ago and I loved it. This past Saturday I went to get both of my daiths pierced. Prior to going across town I had messaged Shawn to confirm hours and availability. Shawn is reliable and respects everyone’s time so if he says he’s going to be down there. He is. I was nervous but Shawn doesn’t waste time letting the hype get to a person and makes sure you know how to take care of your piercings before you leave. Saturday I went in with a headache that I’ve learned to live with having them more often than not. Between anxiety and fibromyalgia, I tend to get a lot of tension in my head, jaw, neck and shoulders. II couldn’t believe it, after one side was done I had immediate relief. So much so that I felt lighter. Like weights were lifted from my shoulders. It’s Tuesday and I still feel amazing. It is so worth it and I highly recommend Shawn. Again. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with a piercing especially a piercing I was hoping to get relief from. I’m still amazed at the results. And they look awesome. Thank you Shawn!!!

I went today during my lunch hour and met one of the coolest guys ever! Thank you Shawn ! You are a life saver! Ive had countless headaches for many years and was sceptical of getting a daith piercing. Shawn was highly recommended by friends and coworkers and they were right! The shop was clean and very friendly. Cant wait to get the other side done soon.

Quick and painless for peirceing, they know what they are doing.

MY DAUGHTER WILL BE CELEBRATING HER C-DAY IN TWO WEEKS SO TODAY WE WENT IN FOR HER FIRST PIERCING .BELLY BUTTON ..FROM THE FIRST TIME WE ENTER VERY SPEEDY SERVICES .SHAWN WAS ABSOLUTELY PROFESSIONAL THANX ..

Awesome 👌

Comfortable environment, some of the best artists in town. Staff really friendly, shop is super clean as well

The best tattoos and piercings in town! The shop was super clean and the artists are always happy and welcoming. Next tattoo or piercing call and make an appointment! You wont regret it...

Been getting my tats by justin and he does a great job!

I went into the shop looking to get a daith piercing with Shawn. From the moment I walked in I was greeted and treated like family. The shop was clean, just the right volume of music where you could still enjoy what was playing and have a conversation. Shawn introduced himself, we talked about what I wanted and he got to work. We were chatting and I was like ok, when we gonna start and then I realized he was done. I walked in there with a 8 (pain scale) headache and walked out basically pain free. Shawn was very courteous and explained after care and he gave me a business card with his # and said call anytime if you have any problems. Today I woke with no headache for the first time since April! Thank you Shawn your amazing.

Yogi did a great job first tattoo best experience probably gonna go again pretty soon would hella recommend this place everyone there was so nice

Shawns the best piercer in town if you want your piercings done right go see him hes an awesome dude very professional

Great work by Aaron.My husband and I both had work done.. awesome! Looking forward to more by Aaron.

Shawn is always amazing and professional, and I go back as often as I can because of his skill and great sense of humor! I wont ever go anywhere else. Thanks, Shawn!

I got my piercings by Shawn. Awesome dude, did a great job. Professional and friendly. I highly recommend going to 3rd Energy.

Daith Piercing Treatment: Third Energy Tattoo & Piercing (Shawn)After suffering with migrane headaches for about a year, I learned of a procedure called the Daith Piercing Treatment. I had tried medication, chiropractic, massage, and acupuncture help without success. When a hospital staff employee told me that Shawn at Third Energy Tattoo & Piercing could help me, I contacted him. After reading and hearing about other clients who who found relief from daith piercing performed by Shawn, I made the decision to drive over four hours to have the procedure. Shawn was so kind and caring that I trusted him immediately, and I liked his jewelry collection. When the piercing was completed, I was amazed that my headache was immediately gone. That night I slept with no pain. It was comforting, also, that Shawn messaged me to check on my well-being. The trip was worth my time, and I continue to be amazed at the awesome results.

Love these guys. All very talented, friendly and just damn good people.

Love the place. Went with Chris, had a portrait of my daughter, done on my arm, came out amazing, This 2nd portrait i have gotten from him. Chris is a great tattoo artist, makes u feel comfortable aNd relax. I cant wait for it to heal and go back for sum more portraits...thnk you chris

Great experience

I saw Shawn on the recommendation of a friend of mine who had a daith piercing done. I wish I would have done this sooner. I have suffered severe migraines for years and got to a point of having headaches daily. Its only been about a month now but I feel so much better. It was quick and I had options. I recommend this for anyone who suffers with headaches! Thanks Shawn!

Love this shop super clean and friendly. If your looking to get a piercing go see shawn. Hes the best in town. I got the migraine piercing it saved my life.

Great experience, Shawn was awesome. Couldnt have been better.

Chris DeShield did my tattoo and the scheduling was very flexible and he was awesome. Couldnt be more happy with my tattoo great overall experience for myself!

Very clean, Ive been tattooed by Church and Yogi, great guys and amazing artist, I wont go anywhere else!!

Amazing work and the artists there are amazing

I give them 5 stars cause they were fast, friendly great prices and fun conversation.I definitely recommend them.

How old do you need to be to get a nose piercing here?

Shawn is awsome! I had the migraine piercing done almost 2 years ago and havent had one since. he is very professional and made me feel at ease... I have recommended Shawn to a couple people and they had great results also... thank you much shawn!

Very helpful and I got what I wanted

Very professional shop. Decent prices for tattoos and piercings. Artists are very knowledgeable and top quality work

Third Engery Tattoo is the absolute best tattoo shop in Bakersfield. All of the tattoo artist are extremely talented!

Every time I get the opportunity to come into the shop Church has brought to life the ideas in my head and put the once a dream piece together and made it a reality. Everyone in the shop is friendly and caring and they work hard for their clients.

Received an industrial piercing by Shawn. He also pierced my 11-year-old nieces ear. He was very friendly, respectful and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend him!

Shawn did my piercing hes very professional highly recommended

Very clean and comfortable. Joy did two small tattoos on my Daughter and did an Amazing job!

I love the service here nice shop and good service highly satisfied with my piercing.

Piercing by Shawn, amazing, meticulous and professional, the Receptionist is abrasive and rude, get past her and you will love the place.

Perfect experience

Loved my tattoo! Blink 182!

Thanks so much for the beautiful belly button ring

Good work

Best tattoo shop in town, I recommend Justin James, he does absolutely amazing artwork, I am so pleased with my new tattoo. He might do more work for me, he gets full, so be sure to book in advance.

Took 3 people ahead of me while waiting for a piercing although I was there before everyone else. Bad customer service man

I made the appointment 2 months in advance and the guy didnt even show up. I waited around for bo for our 9 oclock appointment and the shop wasnt even open. Artists started tricklin in around 9:15am and still didnt even open shop. I called the shop just now (11:00), to see what happen and he just decided to take the day off. No call in advance or anything.

I had my tattoos done by Yogi. He is so professional and he does an amazing job, I walked out with a big smile on my face couldnt thank him enough.

So happy with my tattoo!

Over priced. Got a quarter sized tattoo for 120 and it still came out crooked. Only agreed to pay because I went with a first timer.
