I’ve gotten two cartilage piercings from them now and I loved the service. They were very professional and made me feel super comfortable. I’m not one to normally write reviews but their overall service was just very nice and I would highly recommend them.

I took a friend of mine to get a piercing here and it was super fast. Their piercing didn’t get infected, it was super affordable given its The City, and the atmosphere is very cool. Not exactly a “hippie vibe” that’s associated with the Haight Adhbury District but it fits in really well here.I’m personally hoping to get some work done there in the future.

The person who did my piercing was amazing. The front desk though needed a lot of help. It took me an hour to get solution from the front. I waited in line and then they told me the machines were down to go get cash. When I came back I had to wait in a 35 minute line again. The purchase itself took 15 seconds. And one of the girls in the front with blue hair was just ignoring people while the guy was helping them. There was also a piercing emergency in line with me & the person was in tears also waited 30 min.

Sapo is the man, quality and professional. Price was average for the metal and service. 5 stars for that serviceTattoos on the other hand are outrageous, the prices that is. These guys are stealing from people. Couldnt tell you the quality of their work but Ive been to other places that actually do quality work for a lot less.Morally of this story is that it should cost 200 bucks for a tattoo the size of two quarters with no detail or color. Take you hard earned money elsewhere for a tattoo. Spend it there for piercings.

These guys are the homies. Quick, non-judgemental work, super friendly, very talented. Would go again.

Note- this is a review on the front desk, not the piercing or tattoo artists. This place is bustling, aka there are a ton of people walking in and out throughout the day. I was in need of some replacement gold jewelry and took the bustling to be a good sign of quality and service, so I walked over… but I was mistaken. Guy at the front desk was very rude and told me to “use my mind’s eye” among some other passive-aggressive comments when I asked to see the jewelry out of the display box. He then walked away. After waiting 10 minutes for his assistance as he stood idle chit chatting behind the counter, I just left and went down the street to Mom’s Body Shop, where I found just what I was looking for - better customer service, albeit slightly less vast jewelry selection.

Got tattooed by Tyler today, he’s just lovely. Kind and great work, he checked on me a bunch throughout, did a precise and beautiful job and I can’t wait to go back for more.

My daughter and I got matching ankle tattoos. Fun experience, sweet job .

Nice tattoo/piercing shop in Haight/Ashbury neighborhood, got my 2nd earlobe pierced for good price including jewelry, didnt need to wait long.

Super cool tattoo artists and staff 💕

Great place for piercings. Must check out their daily specials before you go!

It was quick and the cashier and person who pierced my ears were friendly including their manager Brittany. Brandon another staff member was very informative with facial jewelry which helped. Will visit next time I get another piercing.

Just popped in for a random tattoo and I was taken care of! Did a damn good job!

I only rated 3 stars, I didnt buy nothing didnt get no piercing, I only drop off my wife to get her ear piercing, so I gave it a 3 stars wifey said they did a good job piercing her ear, and plus it was quick!..

Amazing work, great vibe from the entire store. The staff are very professional and mad em feel right at home. The person who worked on my tattoo, David, did a stellar job!!! I am very excited to come back and have it colored in in two weeks!

Very patience very knowledgeable very friendly as one can be during times of Covid!

Got my lobe (last year) and double lobe (this year) pierced here, both probably by Sapo. No specials on those so come whenever it won’t be busy. The person at the register was very nice and helpful and Sapo himself was very friendly and easy to talk to and will guide you through everything. He’s very thorough and will make sure you get what you want. There was a 30-45 min wait each time I went so plan for that, but you can browse the shop or take a seat and chill until it’s time. Overall just a great, reasonably priced place and I plan to come again.

Very rude and not helpful, felt really bad vibes from the cashier. There are way better shops in the city to go to that make you feel welcome and appreciate your business.

Really nice. Got 3 piercings there. Went back after I got a keloid (happens) and they fave me treatment steps and instructed me to come back if it got any worse so they could look at it.

I love this place! Awesome tattoos and oddities!

Overall I really like the service here. Everyone is really nice and will answer whatever questions you have. When selecting your jewelry they do not make you feel rushed at all and they focus on one customer at a time which is extremely refreshing. Their work is great as well. Just know that when you get pierced if you want to change the piece that even though they say its free there is a $5 charge, which is not too bad. I got my nose pierced and it was super easy and for me I barely felt anything. I do not know his name but a white guy with a lot of tattoos did my piercing and it was phenomenal! love this place I plan on going back to get my belly button pierced again.

The prices are really fair for such high quality. Phil was my perforationist, and he clearly knew what he was doing. He was super personable and tried to get me out of my head when he could tell I was nervous. I love my helix piercing.

Mina was great. Spent more time here than I should but what a treat! Love it here will be .

I feel like two starts might be generous for my experience here but the front desk girl was amazing - super helpful and great service - so the stars are for her. However, the piercer didnt ask me details about what he was piercing, looked at the piece of paper and pierced the WRONG HOLE. This was a previously irritated cartilage piercing that I had to take out two years ago and my ear has been in pain and swollen for two days now. I have two new piercings in my ears Im happy with but is doused by how much throbbing pain my cartilage has been in. I spent close to $300 - went in for two new ear piercings and to just put an earring in another cartilage piercing I already had (this was the one he didnt confirm and proceeded to taper the wrong hole with a needle instead of just putting an earring in). I honestly cant believe this happened. Asking questions, making sure youre piecing the right area/hole is essential to getting something pierced. At this point I dont know what else I can do but write a review so people know to make sure their piercer is paying attention at Haight Ashbury Tattoo and Piercing.

Got my nostril pierced here back in December by Wes! He was super sweet and patient. My friend had huge nerves, but he talked her through it and pierced both of our noses! I was a walk-in on a Monday night, so there was a promotional price and they were still super quick with us! So in love with my piercing all these months later, thanks Wes 😍

My experience was awesome here. A gentleman by the name of Wes pierced my nose and he made me feel extremely relaxed. He also made us laugh a lot. The nice young woman that greeted us at the register and explained the process was very nice and helpful. I do not know here name but she has green hair. I will totally go back here and get something else done. Thank you so much for making my experience so comfortable & fun. One that I will never forget!!!D.Kelley, Orlando, FL

They did a wonderful job on my tattoo. The artist was skilled and knowledgeable and he was so nice during the whole thing. Thank you Machi. You did a great job. I will come again for a second tattoo

Nice place and sales people were nice. Long wait to get a piercing for no apparent reason as there was plenty of people working in that area. Extremely expensive jewelry. The 1st earring my daughter purchased fell apart when they were putting it in her ear and it was over $200! Of course they replaced it but Im sure the true quality of their stuff is no where near the prices they charge. Guess well find out as time goes on. It is a nice shop with some great products, just over priced.

By far the best tattoo shop Ive been to, all around. Im from Jacksonville, Fl, here visiting, when I randomly decided to get a second piercing for my nose. We walked in and the staff was super nice and helped me a lot with my nerves. The pricing was great (the reason we chose this place). Our piercer Wes was super calming and really nice, he made the whole process a bit less intimidating. And he pierced so fast, I barely felt it. And its perfect! Im so happy with my new piercing. Thank you guys (: see you next time Im in SF!!

Great relaxed atmosphere. I went in with the idea for a tattoo and Nicholas the tattoo artist ran with it and drew up a sketch of something I loved. Ducked out for an ice-cream to think about it, then went back and got it. I love it. This is my second tattoo and I found this one much more relaxing and the staff were very friendly.

I got two tattoos from this shop. (Ignore the diamond) especially the tattooist for that sun and moon he was awesome. Sadly he don’t work there anymore but still this place will be my future concern if I need a another one.

I had a great piecing experience yesterday! I’ve been wanting another outer rim cartilage piercing for awhile and I finally found a good spot to get it. The paperwork and checkout process were quick and easy; I paid $35 for the jewelry+piercing, and $12 for H2Ocean cleanser. They have daily piercing specials so that the prices for certain types of piercings are reduced day to day (call them about it), but I couldn’t wait until Thursday. The person who pierced me was quick, made sure I was okay with placement, and sanitary!! Definitely come here for affordable and high quality piercings. My only discrepancy is that the back of my stud is quite long, and the backing is a ball, not a flat back as I’ve gotten from a different place in the back.

Great shop. Friendly, patient staff and very efficient. Tyler Raring did thorough and excellent work. I’ll be back.

My boyfriend and I came in while we were on a weekend trip and decided to get matching tattoos. I got a simple little heart on my left wrist. One side of the heart is round and the other side is square. 🙄 Go figure #sloppy

I am only rating them based on piercings, NOT tattoos. I got my septum pierced here after stopping at 4 other shops. The price was the best price in the area for a piercing from a clean reputable business. Staff was respectful and friendly. The person whom pierced my septum was careful and did not rush, making sure it was as not offset. They tried to be as gentle as possible which is appreciated. The piercing area was well lit, clean and sanitized. Thank you for the lifelong memory!

Great shop ..! Thanks to Cris for his kindness and patience. I am very happy with the result.🤗😊 Thanks again next time I hope to speak a little better americain😉😄

Got a conch and double lobe piercing here and had a great experience. Bit of a wait to get back, but extremely reasonably priced jewelry and piercings, and a great piercer who clearly knows what hes doing!

The homey machy hook me up!!

This shop is awesome. I love the combination of store/tattoo shop. My gf and I went in knowing exactly what we wanted. The guys were really cool about making sure we got what we were looking for. Pricing seems pretty standard and since we both got 2 tattoos each they cut us a slight deal. Everyone was really professional and the shop is clean. My big tattoo took a couple hours but I felt very comfortable sitting while it was done. They know how to make a customer happy. I also got my second nose piercing there and the piercer, Wes, was really cool. He helped me calm my nerves and did a great job.

I forgot my piercings that I purchased from them at the shop and asked them to send them to me in Sacramento and they did! Very appreciated, and I love my jewelry. 10/ 10 would shop here again. I also bought CBD lotion from them for my mom to relive pain from her hernia surgery and she loves it.

This is the one to go too. Not only were they friendly, knowledgable, and professional, they also were very open about which costs how much. The shop we went in before (Cold Steel) on the other hand, only showed us the very expensive studs and only until I asked, did I get shown (or made aware of) lesser priced ones. Did not like that sales technique and was so happy when we got a much more open vibe at this shop. Good Job Haight Ashbury!!

6 months later & my piercing still looks great & it healed relatively fast. I still clean my nose piercing every 2 weeks but very professional work. Im satisfied & would recommend anyone I know who is looking for a nose piercing.

This match all if what I was looking for : cheap price, hygienic, professionalism, I strongly recommend,

I got a tattoo from Nicholas. He did an awesome job. I told him what I wanted to do and he was able to to picture exactly what I wanted done. All the staff there are supper friendly.

Got my first cartilage piercing here a while back. Im not a big fan of needles so I was nervous. The man who pierced my ear was super friendly and helped me choose the exact spot I wanted. He made a few jokes and helped me calm down. They went over aftercare and my piercing turned out perfect. The best part is the price. Its reasonable and each day of the week they have a piercing special where a certain piercing costs less. This is now my go to place!

As someone who gets faint at needles I was nervous about getting my lip pierced. The piercer was very reassuring and calmed me as well as anyone could, and the studio had a relaxed atmosphere. The procedure itself was quick and I got to lie down afterwards with a glass of water until I felt good to go. The piercing looks great.

Me and my girlfriend had a super experience getting tattoos at Haight Ashbury Tattoo and Piercing! We just walked in from the street and were greeted by very friendly staff and this great tattoo artist Tyler, who was both very nice and professional. Would totally go back there if I wanted another tattoo next time visiting SF.

Amazing place! Both me and my mother went for tattoos on drop in. The service was great and the staff where nice, calm and helpful! And the finished products both turned out great. Would recommend!Edit: Also shoutout to Machy for the support he had for us who had never gotten tattooed before. Great guy.

My favorite place to get a piercing, they are so nice here. I got my ears pieced here a couple of times and the guy that helped me were so cool and I didnt even feel a thing when they did my piercings. They are super clean and fast with the service. Time for a new piercing soon. :)

The people that work here are great and are willing to answer questions to make you feel at ease about your new piercing or tattoo. I got my tongue pierced here when they had a special for it on Saturday and it was just $35!It was a great deal and the piercer was very professional and made sure I understood how to clean and care for my piercing.

Ask for Kevin or Nick. Get a tattoo. Be happy. Everyone else there will also make you happy. Thank me later.

Tyler did such an amazing job every step of the way. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Good pricing, great peircer, thank you phil!

Very friendly right when you walk in! loved the atmosphere and the Lil shop! Got both my targus pierced by Wes, he was awesome and very down to earth !! Also very professional! Great place to go for piercings! : ]

I decided to pop in and inquire about the cost of two tattoo ideas I had. I end up leaving 45mins later with two new tattoos that I truly love. Alex is very precise and even though he gave me a hard time about one of my design choices he was able to recreate the look and did an excellent job of creating fine dark lines.I definitely plan on going back for more!

My experience at Haight Ashbury Tattoo and Piercing was great. I made an appointment 5 days in advance. Walked in and discussed with my artist. It took him about 20 minutes to draw up my tattoo (keep in mind it was all script) and 40 minutes to tatt me up. Overall, a great experience - short and sweet.

Me and my girlfriend had an awsome experience at Haight Ashbury Tattoo and Piercing. The staff was very friendly and our tattoo artist, Tyler, was so nice and professional. The outcome of our matching tattoos was great and i definetly recommend getting a tattoo here!

I was a walk in and I got a cat-too on my finger by Tyler. The service was excellent and I would recommend him! 🤩

They put a hole in my face, which is what I asked for. Nice.

I find it interesting the meme of going to H&A for a tatoo is backed up by what I can only describe as a clean and fast process parlor + shop that will sort you out guaranteed

My girlfriend and I went in as walk-ins yesterday and we couldnt be more satisfied! Our artists were Nick and Machy. Nick had great customer service, was extremely talented, and really knew his stuff. Machy was great at keeping a relaxing atmosphere and drew up an awesome little design for me.The store itself is very clean and all employees are professional. Definitely would go back again.

Service was alright, one of the cashiers were rude, and the only reason for the 2 star is because if the actual piercer. He was chill and cool

Good environment, different selection of things

Good little local piercing and tattoo shop. Had a friend of a friend pierce my nostril a few years ago. Still rocking it.They also sell random art stuff in the store. Jump inside to check out the work of the staff.

They have an absolutely amazing selection of candles and vintage stuff there, along with some very friendly and experienced piercers. I wasnt super impressed with their body jewelry inventory, but it was sufficient for what I was looking for, so fine by me.

Eclectic fun and just an array of cool shops, San Fran culture in the Hippie hill...lots of vintage shops, recycled clothing shops artistic and cultural same vibe as Sunset Blvd in LA but smaller lots of good spots for gabbing sum Grub...have fun

I thought he was nice but when I did not like his third touch up pen demo on my 24 yr old ankle butterfly I needed redone he said this was supposed to be a quick tattoo he also touched my upper thigh twice with his hand and I feel that all businesses should be professional so did not like that. A tattoo is forever so when I felt rushed I apologized and left he said what a waste of time I was there 10 maybe 15 mins max. It was that guys fault I did not like the first pen marks because he kept drawing a new butterfly that did not cover the old one. If u want to be sexually harassed and treated like dirt tattoo here. Skanky and rude.

Dave took care of us and gave us a simple, yet well done tattoo that we really appreciated.

This is a great place to get a tattoo the tattoo artists a very experienced and know what they’re talking about. it’s clean and then a great location but it is rather expensive so be prepared to spend more than you thought you would on your tattoo.

I love the Haight-Ashbury suppose they have a lot of stores and you can buy stuff and talk to you can get them in Pearsons everything I like the food the app and everything about the Haight is good I give it an A plus

Great people, piercings, and products

Love getting my piercings done by Wes. Prices are affordable for me. Thanks!

My first tattoo was done by david. Quick and everyone is nice.

The peircer is a really nice guy! And super chill as well as alk the other tattoo artist. Me and my friends made it a tradition to get all our first tats at haight and we all love it there! The service is great and the vibes are really good!! Would definately come back for my future tats

Reliably the best piercings Ive ever had: painless, fast, great prices!

We had an appointment, waited over an hour, then we were there on time, heard our name called, they took someone else instead and told us we couldnt even go next.

A group of us went in yesterday for small tats. Dave was our artist, he was cool af. We were in and out after 3 tattoos in less than an hour. This place was totally chill and we really enjoyed the experiance!! His work was good, painless and quick no bs

Did an on the spot ying-yang tramp stamp in 2009 while my fathers health in Michigan was failing. My first trip to SF after wanting to go since a teenager, I was 58 at the time. Been sober and clean since 1983, and needed to do SOMETHING to memorialize my trip to the Mecca. Seeing the dude at the corner of Haight and Ashbury smoking a doobie and joining in was out of the question, but while passing this shop it hit me. We had just seen people doing Tai Chi in the park and I had also been learning the form, so the symbol was speaking to me. Staff was incredible about fitting me in, and price was more than fair. Clean place, and great surroundings. Incredible flash book of some great ink art. Would seriously go back when in town again...PS..got back to Michigan and my father died 5 days later. The Ying-yang energy got me through. Thanks folks for being there.

Got my eyebrow and nose pierced here!The wait is usually an hour, so I would wait and go browse around the street before coming back to the store!

Got a little addition to my arm. Excellent service and really friendly guys.

Wanted to get a piercing walked in to ask if they can do it or how long the wait was never got greeted receptionist and another employee just kept talking to each other. Walked out after 10 minutes of waiting and went to another shop

If you ever go here for a tattoo make sure you goto David he has 12 years experience and is vary professional and chill AF

Extremely clean, polite and helpful

Cool shop

Good prices

Super original all over!
