This was my first time going to this shop and definitely wont be my last. I took my daughter for her first nose piercing and it was an incredible experience for her. Daniel is AMAZING!!! He was so patient, so friendly and explained everything step by step. Excellent service!!! We cant wait to go back again!!
Ive been getting TATTOOS from Marty for approximately 21yrs. Millisa has done most of my piercings almost as long. They have been my friends and also my Artists. Everyone works under exsteamly strict cleanly guidelines. I have never seen any shortcuts. I would Strongly recommend both of them for your artistic needs.Lisa Hodges-Gretsinger
Took my son to get his ears pierced and Daniel was top notch. Our first time here and was very happy with the experience. Daniel had time after to give my daughter a new piercing while we were there.
Came to get a nose piercing by Melissa, she was so amazing, so knowledgeable, so gentle, by far the best place to get a piercing
Been going for years Sam is my tattooist, great environment, great atmosphere , very clean and sanitary. Best tattoo and piercing establishment Ive ever been too!
The piercer was so nice! I got a tongue piercing and was scared , she reassured me it wasn’t going to be that bad, and it wasn’t ! overall 10/10, and affordable definitely will be coming back.
Went to go get my naval pierced last night and could not have had a better experience.I’ve only had my ears pierced once when I was little, so this was pretty new to me and I was a little anxious. The process of the piercing was explained ahead of time to me, as well as aftercare in great detail.The pain of the piercing itself was not bad at all! Very quick and not much fussing around. In addition, the piercing was perfectly centered and I appreciate that the artist took the time to get it so perfect.I’ll definitely be coming back for more work in the future!
Great 2nd-floor studio above GVA Café thats been in business in Morgan Hill for more than 14 years. Always clean and well lit. Its owned by an artist named Marty with 2 other resident tattoo artists, Sam and Mosa. All 3 artists only work on custom pieces with Marty specializing in traditional/script/pets, Sam in fandoms/geometrics/Flora, and Mosa in Pacific Island/tribal. Ive gotten all 3 of my beautiful tattoos there, specifically by Sam. They also offer piercing services headed by Martys wife Melissa, who has an apprentice named Daniel. Daniel pierced both my ears in order to gauge them and theyve turned out wonderfully. Occasionally they will have guest artists and body modifiers come in for custom work. Give the studio a call for availability, pricing, and payment methods.
Amazing! They are so nice, kind, and wonderfully thorough. I got a couple easy ear piercings and it didnt really hurt at all. They had everything completely sterile and double-checked all the placements. They were so professional and fun so it made it feel like such a chill and easy experience. Also, my piercings have been doing great since. 10/10 experience
I made an appointment over phone and when I arrived they were welcoming.When it came to the piercing 10/10. The guy who gave me the piercing was so amazing, he was understanding, patient, calm, aware of our needs overall so good, definitely would come again.
Very nice, very accommodating. Got an anklet, very good with communication, good price too.
I called on Memorial Day weekend to see if I was able to take a walk-in appointment. Daniel was able to answer all my questions and gave me pricing details before heading into the shop. When I walked in to get my ear pierced Daniel was super friendly and talked me through the entire process and he always gave me pricing before any decision. Daniel was extremely professional throughout the entire process and had good bedside manners. Overall I had a great experience. It was quick, painless, and sanitary!
Very clean very professional i would not go anywhere else staff is very competent and knowledgeable explaining each step of the process as well as follow up or care after piercing. Took my 17 year old daughter for a nose piercing service was impeccable
I came to El Toro to get my ears pierced. They were my 2nd & 3rd piercing, after getting my nose pierced like 6 years ago. Daniel with the piercing team was very polite and informative. He helped me set up an appointment for the soonest weekend after leaving a voicemail with the shop. I showed up and was greeted with good vibes from Daniel and after filling out some paper work we were off to get the piercings done. I was little nervous, but Daniel really helped me be more in the moment with all the info he provided to me. He was extremely thorough in marking the piercing locations and ensuring that they were symmetrically in the same spot on both lobes. He helped me make the decision for placement based on my plans for future piercings. My dude has been there and done that, meaning he knew what he was talking about. He was extremely considerate making sure i was good with everything before taking any step in the prep and piercing process. I sincerely appreciate the professionalism and experience that Daniel has, as i was super comfortable during the entire process. I will definitely come here again for future piercings. Total time to pierce my ears start to finish (including Daniels review of the after care requirements) 30 mins. In and out. Total price for piercing both ears: $65 combined. Jewelry was a 18g 1/2-inch surgical steel rings and they were $14/ring. I am very satisfied with my piercing i love them. Thanks El Toro.
Melissa is the best. I have gotten pierced by since I was 18. 16 years later she is still the only one I let do any of my body piercings. Knowledgeable and great customer service. Great after care support. Clean and very transparent in her technique.
I went to Marty on the recommendation of some friends and he was amazing. He took a simple picture and made it into exactly what was in my head. Im already planning my next tattoo! El Toro also has Sam Rusk who does great work (check out her book!) and they do piercing.The thing that struck me the first time I went was the cleanliness and lighting, not at all what I was expecting from a tattoo shop (I know better now).Thanks, Marty!
My husband got an amazing tattoo from Sam and she was amazing! It was his first and she was so calm and attentive to his level of pain. He did Great! I can wait until I get my new ink from her soon!
I got my first ever piercings on my ear lobes, eyelets to be exact, it was more than just a job well done, very professional. Daniel is a badass and truly communicates with his patients. Totally clean and ample environment. I will definitely will go back to get more gauges and maybe a few tattoos.
I had a really great experience here today! The staff are incredibly friendly, and go above and beyond. Highly recommended!
Havent been there in yes, but Marty and Melissa are beautiful! Congrats to Sam, you did it girl!
Ive been going to EL TORO PIERCING AND TATTOOS for approximately 15yrs, Marty has been doing 99.5% of my Sleeves & he is going to do my full back piece and my legs. I absolutely love all of them down there. They are the kindest people you could meet.
