I went there for my Septum Piercing today. The service provided by Gloria was awesome. She really answered all my questions. She was really gentle and smooth and so fast I didn’t realized until she said it was done. She prepared everything so nicely. Definitely recommend her. I would give 100 thumbs up.

There is a great culture within the company. They are well rounded and organized. They keep their work areas extremely clean and organized. The piercer is well rounded with steady hands, and has a great deal of experience so she can handle different piercings and any questions you have highly recommend for first timers and anyone that just wants a piercing done easy and quick

Do NOT go here for piercings. I cannot speak to their tattoos, but last December I got my Industrial and Daith done by one of the piercers there. I forget who but they had apparently been doing piercings for over 6 years and yet they still pierced my ear wrong. I attached a picture, over the course of 9 months my daith almost completely rejected because it wasnt pierced in the right spot... I havent had this issue with any other piercings. My industrial is also not doing too well, the end of the barbell was pierced into the crease of my ear instead of the part where the cartilage actually sticks out. I should have expected this for a $30 piercing though. Anyways, I wouldnt recommend going here, just spend a few more bucks and get it done right.

I will recomend Alex, his lines are so professional and to be honest I dont think that the tattoos he posted are good enough to describe his talent, he does a very complex tattoos and my tattoos with him are always heal beautifully, I had almost the 2 arms tattooed by him and he is highly professional funny and just a cero judgmental person. Having a local tattoo artist is one of the best things because you can go when you ready in your heart no when you have time to travel far away or chase your artists calendar . This place is nice VERY CLEAN and people there are all so cool!!!

Went in to get a friend her ears pierced as a Christmas gift. Gloria was very kind and professional, even gave us a little discount because it was a gift. The piercings are very well placed, and my friend said they didn’t hurt at all going in. Overall a great place to get pierced, 100% reccomend.

Called in and the guy on the phone from Calaveras stated the piercer does not do kids piercing? I asked why he said their too young. Hmm very odd.... Its a bottom ear lobe piercing I requested for a 10yr old. BAD BUSINESS MOVE.

Review №14

Way overpriced! $60 for each piercing. Had to pay $120 + tip to get both of my earlobes pierced 😳 It was my first time so I thought the price was fair. Go to Orbit Skates, its only $35 per piercing.

I will always recommend this shop 7 days a week twice on a Sunday I got a skull and Crow tattoo done here and I am very close with the shop owner angel they do very good work and have been nominated and won awards across tattoo competitions very much worth note I will always come back and get tattoos from calaveras because of the quality of tattoo that they give

Great place! The atmosphere of the store is fabulous. Will Kavner worked on my tattoo and I LOVE it - it is now my favorite one. He did a perfect job and was extremely nice and fun to visit with.

Review №18

I just got my nipples pierced. The artist was gentle and considerate of privacy. I would have given 5 stars but it wasnt until I got home that I noticed my left breast piercing was crooked. Instead of pulling out my breasts over my bra, I wished I was asked to take off my bra entirely. The artist had several years of experience in the industry however youd think she would have known to insist my breasts were unobstructed before piercing. I tipped her well, not knowing one was crooked until I got home. It cost $30/pierced nipple. I then asked her to try to put jewelry in my tragus (ear) piercing that had possibly closed. I bought the jewelry ($10) and, although she was certain it closed, she was able to insert the jewelry without having to re-pierce. That was pretty cool. I will definitely go back for future piercings.

Called in the morning and they were able to fit me in that day. I cant remember the name of my artist, but he took my kids names and fit them together for me. It looks amazing! I will definitely be going back there in the future

Review №21

I come every Wednesday after my newest piercing has healed and come to get another. There is one piercer. Shes quick, precise, and doesnt mind a little chat.... At least enough while shes preping. Ive gotten a few piercings from her that have all done well. She has good placement and has plenty of answers to your piercing needs. She for sure is my one stop shop.

Review №24

Best piercing experience with Gloria. I had a helix and forward helix done with her that didnt hurt at all compared to a bad piercing I had gotten years previously. Her hands are gentle and blessed from the angels. Not only did she help change my previous slow-healing piercings gauge to its correct size, but she was also patient and attentive in explaining care. Cannot recommend enough! Gloria is glorious, thank you so much.

Angel is my artist. He does great work, they always have great music playing, great prices, and friendly staff. If you are looking for a new place to get a tattoo or even your first one, I highly recommend you stop by and see Angel.

Review №26

Piercing was 5/5. Didnt catch the name of my piercer. No pain, very fast, very clean. My tattoo on the other hand is the reason for this rating. I got a tattoo on my ring finger. YES I am aware these fade, but within the first day of having it, I could see empty spots. After a few days, when the ink has washed away, the tattoo was visible. And WHAT A DISSAPPOINTMENT it was. My tattoo, after 4 days of having it, was already faded, empty, and missing pieces. (I got a sun and the points are missing and the middle is empty.) The pain level was bearable, became flesh quickly, and healing process was, well, trashy.

I was visiting family a few weeks back and while out in the bay I decided I had the time & money(and friend to watch my toddler lol) to get my daughters name finally tatted. I called different places and none were even slightly interested in making money apparently.. Calaveras was the last shop I was gonna call and what do you know? The lovely girl working there, Silver, fit me right in! By the time I got to the shop she had everything set up and was ready to start.Even though this was my 6th tattoo I always get nervous but she was so sweet and friendly that I felt comfortable with her.The tattoo is just awesome!! The cursive letters are smooth and just perfect. Im so happy I ended up going here.THANK YOU Silver!!

Review №36

They totally screwed me out of a ear piercing. My son stud came out he had 3 done his 1st time. The lady totally cool but it was her day off and the jerk tattooer acted like he was the boss of the place by his window booth left of the door walking in. He didnt offer any solution and basically told us to bad and we had no choice but to leave as he was trying g to look coo in front of his victim. We went to Simms tattoo and they totally knew calaveras style and they said it nothing new. I had to pay more money but at least we were treated with respect. Like tattooing is a hobby not a profession. I dont like tattoo guys that think they own the world cause they ink!

The best place you can find to get tattooed and pierced, they do all tattoo styles, realism, just shadows, in color and even embroidery!! Affordable prices with excellent results! 👌 100% recommended! And as for the piercings, everything is very clean with needle procedures, not like other shops that use guns that mistreat the skin! 10/10 😊!
