I used to get tatted by Casey and heard he quit so I thought heck why not give someone else a shot for a cover up. Was told everyone there had cover up experience. Bad decision. Cody had a stank attitude the entire time. Barely said three words to me and the work turned out subpar and the color dull. Communication was off and I just got a bad vibe the whole time. Also nobody there wearing masks anymore. Good thing I’m moving soon so I can find another shop.

Thank you so much to the two piercers who thoroughly went over piercing care and took the time to look at my navel piercing I got at another shop!! I was unsure if it was pierced correctly and they answered all my questions and concerns. I really appreciate it and will definitely be coming here instead.

Very professional and went thru the whole talk on how to take care of my piercing and how long it will heal. Would recommend to anybody who is looking for some piercings at there shop.

The dude working the front was very nice, and Cody did a great job on the tattoo me and my sister got.

First of all the shop manager John is awesome and super accommodating. Everyone in the shop is super friendly and puts off awesome vibes🙌. Secondly my tattoo Artist Anthony is a badass and I cant wait to go back and get more work. Thanks guys!❤

There was a time I would have left a five star review for this place. Ive recommended this shop to multiple friends. 5 of my 9 tattoos were done in this shop. Then our artist quit. Shop is refusing to refund the deposit, despite not having another artist I like. Apparently theyre doing this to all of that artists clients. Super shady and I regret the thousands Ive spent here if this is their level of integrity. Tattoos are too dependent on who is doing them to just expect someone to be OK with just anyone when they book a specific person.So, I mean, if you like paying to get whoever they happen to have on staff during your appointment (note: I am not talking about just walk-in time), even if it isnt who your appointment was supposed to be for, go for it. Also, go for it if you like just giving companies money and not getting anything in return.

Anthony did a beautiful job on my cherry blossom tattoo. Ive gotten a lot of compliments from customers at work and random strangers when I enter a store. Thank you Union Tattoo & Piercing!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Awesome experience my artist was Cody whos really funny nice clean lines cant wait to come back.

This is the only place I’ll get tattooed now - very professional, very clean, phenomenal work, and great artists. I especially recommend Alexa. Love this place!

BEWARE OF THIS PLACE: I booked an appointment back in March for a May session. The guy I chose was booked until then which was fine his work is outstanding. I paid my deposit to keep my spot. Then about 3 weeks later I started seeing posts on FB about the artist not working there anymore, that he quit. No courtesy call to let me know, no text no nothing. So I called to see what was going on. Was told my artist quit 2 weeks ago and that I could choose another one of their artists or go to their sister shop. I wasnt ok just going to anyone. I didnt get my refund back because it is non refundable . But this wasnt my fault. The artist quit and Im not just gonna go to anyone. I should have got it back. Now Im seeing more reviews about the same issue. Be careful here.

Awesome place.. took my daughter to get her nose pierced... Excellent customer service.. will be returning for my piercing 🤗

I don’t usually leave reviews but here’s one! To start off, I live in Stockton. I went to emerald tattoos in Lodi but the customer service guy was giving me an off vibe like rude ish attitude. I decided to not go there and did my search. I Found Union tattoo and I read their reviews. I gave it a try and went in and out. I was greeted with a smile and respect. Got my piercings done by Joseph and his co worker who was just getting started so he was learning(he did a great job.) they were pretty chill and cool. That whole place is very welcoming. Will definitely recommend Friends and family!

I first visited Union Tattoo and Piercing several months ago to get a couple ear piercings. The shop manager along with the piercer were very knowledgeable and answered all my questions and gave some solid recommendations about placement. During my visit, I started getting lightheaded and I communicated that with my piercer. He promptly took action giving me water and a sugar pill to bring my sugars back up. I was throughly impressed with the him. After getting pierced I learned that he has over 10+ years of experience and that shows with his quality of work. The entire experience was very pleasant that Ive recommended the place to several people and even brought my cousin in for piercings.Overall the shop is the cleanest Ive been to and I would recommend hands down.

I really cannot say what type of work they do because I could not get an appointment after work. They were not too eager to assist me.

I am really satisfied with my two piercings, the boy, well both boys attended me super well, even when I do not speak English at all, they tried to tell me everything, I will definitely return and recommend this place and the boy who attended me, excellent job 💗 🥰

Very professional. Anthony did a AWESOME job beyond my expectations. Will be going there again

Visited the website and sent a message b/c was interested in getting a tattoo. Received a text the next day and got my tattoo later that night :)Cody was chill, professional and attentive. Made it much easier for me its been awhile since I got a tattoo so my nerves were abit high. My tattoo came out great, it was something small but everything I wanted 😊

Anthony did a beautiful job with designing cherry blossoms and Ive gotten so many compliments at work from customers and random strangers every time I walk into a store

I got my nipples pierced by Joe and he was very informative and gentle. It was over in a flash, and very cheap price for the set ❤️

Absolutley love this shop, super clean, everyone is ver friendly and they do great work. Ive had 2 different pieces done here and will soon be getting a 3rd. Could not reccomend more!

I had a terrible experience with this shop. My original artist quit, the second artist had to reschedule, and the third artist I got stuck with did not make me feel welcome or comfortable during my appointment. For $100 my tattoo sucks and has zero to no detail. So disappointed.

I OFFICIALLY found my new piercing spot. Definitely love the atmosphere in the room. Everyone is welcoming with GREAT customer service. I highly recommend this place

Amazing!! The shop vibe is incredible! Everyone was so sweet and helpful! Joe did an amazing job at piercing my nose. Hes so chill and professional and he clearly knows what hes doing! I felt so comfortable and Im absolutely obsessed with it! The whole experience was beyond perfection!

I came in for a 4 hole in my ear and can I tell you that it was PAIN free. The needle is the only way to go!!!

All of the tattoo artists and the piercer are absolutely amazing. They are such nice people. I have only gotten piercing but the piercer Joe is absolutely amazing. He is a fantastic piercer. And he knows what he is doing. I trust him with my piercing. I definitely recommend going here for piercings and tattoos.

I recently got an ear piercing here and I will definitely come back for more! Everyone was very nice, everything was very clean, and it was nice and quick! I would definitely recommend coming here for a piercing.

Awesome place to go to get a good quality. Me and my wife goes there for all our tattoos

Was super cool they have a mystery gum ball machine and I pulled a top notch tattoo out of it

Amazing place! Its so clean there, I was definitely impressed! I went with the artist Cody and love his work. I would use him again for sure!!

Their piercer is awesome. Professional & knowledgeable.

Such a fun shop to get work done in

I had a quick and easy trip there to get my septum pierced. I was in and out of there within 10 mins. Over all the staff was super nice and they answered any of my concerns.

So googled this place for my son to get piercings. Was given a 12:15 time to arrive. We came at 12:15 and were told after waiting 30 minutes that the piercing guy was running late. We left number and were told to come back at 5:30 so we wouldnt have to wait. Got back at 5:30 and still had to wait. People came in after us and were seen before us. Paid the full price. No discount offered. No apology. If it wasnt covid and more places were open I would have taken my business elsewhere. My advice is to stay away.

They did 6 memorial tattoos. Friendly staff, did a great job!

Quick and easy..Love my nosie ring:)

Got me in on short notice. Did exactly what I was wanting.

They did an amazing job on my tattoo. I went to get my first tattoo done for a friend who passed away. The entire process didn’t take as long as I expected and it didn’t hurt!It was very clean and the people there a amazing!

I live in Stockton but I did my research and saw a lot of recommendations for this shop and I totally understand why. I got my septum pierced by Joe, and wow he’s amazing! I have really bad social and general anxiety and he made me feel a hundred percent comfortable. I can’t wait to get more piercings done by him. He also didn’t make me feel ashamed since my eyes watered. Highly recommend Joe!

I took my daughter to get an ear piercing here after reading many reviews, let me say the reviews do it no justice. It is so clean, and the staff are all so friendly. Irene did her piercing. She is AMAZING! She was so sweet and thoroughly explained everything. I highly recommend this place!

Went in for a consultation, shop is clean and everyone is friendly I wish I found this place sooner. Cant wait for my appointment

I first came to Union Tattoo after checking it out online. Initially I was impressed with how clean the shop is. When you come in you after greeted by the stunningly beautiful manager Gabby. After talking to her about my design she felt like Casey would be the best artist to help me and she was spot on.Casey had me send him about 5 or 6 pictures and he came up with a really nice design. After our first session I really wanted to add more and Casey was able to lay out a plan that would take about 5 sessions.I was so impressed with the way he was able to just pick up where he left off after about 2-3 weeks of healing. The final product is exactly what I had hoped for.Caseys line work is very good, no wobbly lines or blow outs and good solid color saturation. He told me I could return in 3 months for a free touch-up but I know Ill be getting some more ink in the future from Casey. Im proud to wear his art.

This place was freaking awesome. I came as a walk in and had my tattoo done. They are super friendly and social. They double and even triple checked to make sure it was what i wanted. Special shout out to mike, super awesome, great attitude really funny and super easy to talk too.

Just went here about 2 hours ago, clean, professional, friendly, the man was chill and he did it quick. He replaced his gloves, used soap instead of alcohol which is good. He was nice about it, this place is awesome. Serious, thinking of getting a tattoo here sometime in the future 🥰

I was in and out no wait just dont forget your id if your getting piercings lol

Went with my in-law staff was very friendly and service was fast

Cody was 45 minutes late too our appointment and then even though we were quoted one price he doubled it after finishing the tattoos and the work is sub par. Go to another shop if you want a professional quality artist

Went in for a nose piercing and as soon as you walk thru the door they made you feel very welcomed. Irene is the one who does the piercings she is very friendly, knowledgeable and she knows exactly what she is doing. She explained everything she was doing before doing it so there were no surprises. She is very gentle and caring and has a personality that is very compassionate. I inquired about tattoos and she was also very knowledgeable in that portion of the business as far as pricing and the tattoo artists. I highly recommend that if you are looking for a body piercing or tattoo this is the go to place!

Went to a piercing done. Went 20 min before closing. And was treated I. A professional manner.took there time in perfecting at there best work so I was satisfied with the results. Love the staff and see how close and enjoy the friendship with one another and what they do

Very friendly and professional.

One of the cleanest tattoo/ piercing shops Ive seen. The shop decor and professional people working make you feel comfortable. Irene, who does the piercing does a great job. They required birth certificate for my daughter who is a minor under eighteen without CA Id for an ear pierce. I highly recommend this place.

Guy at front desk was very unprofessional. Would rate it a zero if I could. Guy told me they’re not busy, came in to get a piercing and he told me to wait because the piercer was on his lunch, I asked how long and he rudely said be patient

This place is awesome! Got a tattoo by Casey and love it. Hes wonderful and does great work. Also got peircing done by Irene and couldnt be happier. Shes patient and sweet. Ill definitely be going back and recommend to anyone looking for some awesome work done by professionals!💓

There is an actual person helping on their website answering questions, not a robot, huge plus for me! The shop is cozy and clean, and the staff is always trying to make you feel at home. Will DEFINITELY recommend!(Oh! And ask for Sailor Mike!)

Irene was amazing and very informative! She makes the experience very comfortable and I would recommend her for everyone. I got my belly button pierced and my friends got their nipples pierced. This place is awesome and I will definitely be back for another piercing!

I took my five-year-old granddaughter to this place to get her ears pierced. The guy that pierced her ears was so good with her she actually didnt cry at all. She was actually smiling because she was so happy to have her ears pierced without it hurting her 😃😃

I love Squigs! I went in by myself to get a septum piercing. She was very sweet and very informative. She got nostril piercings too and she looks so cool! Everyone in the shop were awesome! I cant wait to get a tattoo done here, will definitely be back before the year ends.

Walked in yesterday and left extremely happy! After two horrible nose piercing experiences I found Union Tattoo- Jasmine greeted us as we walked in and got us back super fast. Squiggles listened to my horrible prior experiences and was so informative and made the process so easy and relaxing. Way more informative then the other two shops i have been at for sure! would highly recommend this place!

My teenage daughter got her nostril and navel pierced. Super clean shop, bright, and really neatly decorated (not scary). Her piercing artist was amazing. Super clean station, very informative, and kind. Shout out to the Noah who runs the front. He was professional and very kind. As a parent I would recommend this shop.

3 family members have gotten several tattoos here from the wonderful artist Casey and they love all the work hes done! Ive gotten pierced twice here by Squiggles and she killed it both times! The manager, the artists and the piercer are all wonderful, nice, and great at what they do. The building is clean (and super cool), not messy or dirty. 5/5 definitely!

Clean clean clean. Incredibly professional and down to earth place and staff. Quick and efficient. Good prices, amazing work. The piercer, Irene, is AMAZING! Sweet and patient, actually cares and listens. Only got 1 tattoo there so far and I freakin love it!! Definitely worth every penny and the ONLY shop Ill be going too.

Been getting my Hawaiian/Polynesian shield on my left arm and mike has made it better than I imaged even working around a previous tattoo very difficult but very happy, everyone in there is respectful and helpful with whatever it is you want done. Highly recommended for ink and piercings. Thanks mike!

I was dying to get my nose re-pierced but had been pretty disappointed by the initial impressions I got when inquiring at other shops. SO glad I decided to check out Union Tattoo. I went online and saw Irenes profile. I was impressed with what I saw so decided to drop by last weekend. The whole staff was very friendly and engaging. Irene was amazing! She was efficient without making me feel rushed. She has a great bed-side manner and I couldnt be more pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommend her for all your piercing needs!

From the phone call to actually being there in person, these people are the best all around. Irene (Squiggs) and Gabby both took such good care of me the whole trip. I got 3 piercings and could hardly feel them because I was having such a great time! Ill definitely be coming there for any other piercings and tattoos.

I got my nose pierced and Squiggles did amazing! It barely hurt and im so happy with how it turned out. I highly recommend going here everyone is so nice and and its so clean inside. Thank you great job!

Bad customer service all around, called the shop prior to coming down because I had to take an Uber down there . I wanted to make sure there was an artist available and there was, I asked what the shop minimum was and over the phone I was quoted 50 . I get down there and tell them what I want and the artist said 80 because of the location of the tattoo, I told him I have 75 and he still refused to do it . I then said I can go down the street and get it for 60 and another artist said “well then why are you here” . Extremely unprofessional way of talking to a customer, I then told the artist who was going to do my tattoo that I need to go to the ATM next door and pull more money out and he said sounds good I’ll draw the tattoo up . I go and take money out to only be told that he doesn’t feel comfortable doing the tattoo . If you can’t do a tattoo then you don’t need to be working at a tattoo shop, very unprofessional and definitely won’t be coming back .

The shop is clean, and sterile. The manager, Chris, is so sweet and knowledgeable and really genuinely cares about each piece that is done in the shop. If you arent sure what it is exactly youre looking for, they will do a consultation and they would help you choose the artist who will do the best work on the tattoo. I love Union Tattoo, and will continue to be a repeat client.

Their piercer is amazing! Shes knowledgeable, takes her time, pays very close attention to cleanliness, and is very sweet on top of all that.

This place is AWESOME! If you are looking to get your first tattoo or add to what you have these guys are the bomb! I have been to other tattoo artist and they are so stuck on the artist title that they forget their canvas is a human not paper. We have to live with what they permanently put on our bodies. At union they listen to what you want, give their experienced input then together decide on a plan. That’s the way it should be.

Irene, the piercer, was amazing! Got my conch pierced and she talked me through everything she did before doing so and was very very nice. Would definitely recommend!!

Today was my first time there, & I may say they are awesome! Since I walked in & out had such great customer service! I love my belly piercing, did a great job, & super quick!I really recommend this place!!! 👌🏼

Clean, friendly and professional. The artists do phenomenal work.

Irene ( Squiggles) Removed my facial dermal and pierced both my lovely ladies she did such an amazing job. Definitely coming to her for all my piercing needs & WANTS 💙

Called and left a voicemail and also went to their website to request a booking and its been almost two weeks and no return call to try and set up an appointment. I went to a more reputable shop who actually answered the phone when you call and was able to set up an appointment with themEdit: despite what the owner says, I called them before the quarantine and lockdown. They never returned my call or website request to this day.The fact that they took nearly two months to respond to this with the qurantine excuse says a lot about them as a buisness

Great tattoo place, really nice staff. They did a great job on my wifes tattoo! Highly recommend this place and tattoo artist Casy!

Best tattoo shop in Manteca. Great service. Mike is awesome to work with. Ive gotten so many compliments on my tattoo.

By far the best shop Ive ever had my ink done, Ill never go anywhere else (unless Casey, for some awful reason isnt there, lol) to get my tattoo fix on. The whole staff are some of the greatest people Ive had the pleasure of meeting. Very clean, totally friendly and an all around fun place to be. I highly recommend Union Tattoo and Piercing for any tattoo you can dream of, the artists are truly phenomenal 😊

Love this place

I highly recommend this place for piercings I went here to get my nose periced like a week ago and squiggles did an amazing job, so far I haven’t had any problems with it I love it So if you are looking for a piercing place union tattoo and piercing is the place to go. Thank you so much!

Really nice place, open and welcoming enough that I felt comfortable. My artist was Casey and he was amazing, even with all my uncontrollable twitching! Very impressed and will likely be back

Great place and the staff are so friendly and kind! Irene is a fabulous piercer and Casey is a great tattoo artist! My only spot now :)

Came in an hour before closing and the staff was still happy to fit me in for a walk in. Beautiful work, clean place, great staff. Felt comfortable to be there. Definitely will go back

Got piercings by Squiggles (Irene) & tattoos by Jarrod.....very pleased with both, as well the helpfulness of staff, Jasmine & Noah!! All around great place to take care of any of your tattoo or piecing needs! 😎

Casey was amazing! Good customer service

The people in the shop were very knowledgeable about everything an they are all very professional

Great place for tattoos the artists are great thanks Casey for my daughters first tattoo

First time getting a piercing and I went in for my belly. The lady was so nice and comforting, she was very fast and smooth with her work! It hardly hurt at all. She was great!!

Great place very relaxing casey did my tatoo he makes u feel very comfortable did great job

Love it at union tattoo. Amazing work. As well as the awesome people that work there. Always upbeat and fun to get work done.

Great staff. Easygoing and professional

Very good service

I love how they treat you here I have not yet gotten a tattoo here but got plenty of piercings the piercers are awesome.

Great staff!! Went to get a nose piercing last week sguiggles did such a great job! Just yesterday I had to go in again cause it accidentally fell out when I was drying my face. Sguiggles didn’t hesitate to take me back and fix it again. She’s amazing at her job! Everyone their is very friendly.

Took my 8 year old daughter to get her ears pierced for the first time, they were every nice and the piercer Irene was supper amazing with her

Mike B. and the new manager John were super professional and Mikes work was fantastic my sis and I went in and got tats and we left thrilled with the atmosphere and quality. Thanks Guys u made our sister moment amazing

Great prices, great artists and a good place to go if you want it done right.

Caught a toe infection from this place from them not using clean supplies/utensils.

Asked Mike to see how they cleaned the needles he was going to use on me. He stood there with a blank stare and told me all of the needles are clean. That along with the visible dry blood on his arm told me this wasnt the place for me. I told the manager who said her name was Gabby about the shop not being clean and she said well you dont have to come back.

Walked in on a whim and was completely blown away by their amazing customer service! Jasmine set me up with a guy that matched what i need. She also pulled up the computer and grabbed references so we could try to pull together some ideas. Got an immediate quote and appointment! Tomorrow is the big day and i have full confidence that casey is gunna give me a piece that i can treasure forever!

Great clean shop. Awesome artists

I went there a few months ago and got my nose pierced for the very first time. The piercer (I think its Squiggs? Im not sure, but she has pink hair now) was super sweet, very gentle, and talked me through it. It was a good experience, but what compelled me to write this review is the AMAZING service and after-care Ive experienced. When I got pierced, she told me I could come back when I got my first new nose ring so she could help switch them out. I ordered a gorgeous seamless loop ring from Etsy but I couldnt put it on because of my long nails. I struggled so hard until I remembered what shed said, so I called just to double-check that I still could drop by and headed straight there. I literally walked in, she helped close my loop, gave me a hug, put my old ring in a baggie, and that was it. I didnt have to pay for that (even though I felt like I should have) because it was part of how they help take care of their clients. I was baffled in a really really good way. I will always recommend this spot for anyone looking to get pierced or tattood because I know theyll get well taken care of. Thank you so much.
