Laughing Buddha Body Piercing

Went in yesterday evening for some jewelry and ended getting my second lobes pierced by Vega who was an absolute sweetheart and made me feel safer and genuinely attended to compared to multiple other piercers Ive gone to before. I wish I wouldve remembered the name of the person behind the counter who was also so sweet and explained everything to me and gave advice. I highly suggest and recommend coming and seeking out Vega for sure!

First of all, let me just say this as a public service: minors getting pierced must have a photo i.d. and need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian with a valid photo i.d. Im not sure if it has to be a drivers license, but mine was. Also, I was shocked to learn that I also needed to provide the minors BIRTH CERTIFICATE.So I started the day a bit irritated because we drove across town for the piercing and did not have all the necessary documents. I guess its a good policy so kids dont show up with their older friends giving them permission; I just was not prepared for the visit.Once we took care of the logistics, Vega was so nice and understanding as well as professional and knowledgeable. They did a consult to make sure my guest was a good candidate for a belly button ring. Unfortunately, my guest was not because they are still growing. We took Vegas professional opinion and opted for a nose stud instead. Vega and Leslie were patient and walked us through the whole process ahead of time. Pricing was transparent and there were many cases full of beautiful jewelry, all medical grade with no allergens. All the prices were reasonable to me and we were not upsold on anything.All tools and jewelry were sterilized, and Vega opened up the seals in front of us and used fresh gloves for the consult and then again for the piercing. The piercing was reported to be painless, just a little bit of pressure.I recommend Laughing Buddha because they are exclusively a piercing studio. We chose this studio because we wanted someone reputable and safe, and we are satisfied with our experience.

Out of all the places Ive gone This place was the 10/10 place to be - professional, safe and most of all sterile ♡I brought my Girlfriend for Her first body piercings here and I cant wait to continue to use them! Everything was well explained and the prices were reasonable, overall I cant recommend this place enough ♡Thanks again to Alieen for everything ♡

Priced higher than other piercers Ive seen just to incorrectly pierce my daith that had to eventually be taken out at the advice of other piercers I consulted about the placement. Failed to pierce my eyebrow with correct bar length as well to give room for swelling which was a red flag for me...Id suggest going elsewhere.

I went in to get my nose ring changed, the young lady & the piercer, the piercer especially very knowledgeable! Before he changed it he asked me questions so he made sure he understood my concern so they he can provide me with the ideal outcome! I will be back for sure! So many jewelry options and prices.

I would like to say this place is probably one of the most respectful and welcoming places I’ve gone too to buy piercing and to even get my piercings done. Netiya was so kind and helpful in the front. Aileen who did me and my girlfriend’s piercings was so respectful and caring. She did a super great job on our piercings. Clean and fast. I would recommend getting my piercings done by her again.

Aileen is awesome and welcoming. I book all my piercing appointments with her. This shop also has adorable flats and other high-quality jewelry that Ive purchased during their frequent sales. Just check their Instagram.

Had a wonderful experience here today. Took my 15yr old in for a scheduled 5:30pm piercing. There were 3 people working and I didnt catch all their names, but they all were extremely helpful and professional. The gentleman explained the process so well and Hope provided the piercing service for my daughter. She further explained every single step and expectation of the process. It was absolutely amazing 👏 There was a gal later who assisted myself in the jewelry pricing and I walked out with 3 gauges for myself. So glad to have another Laughing Buddah in Riverside! Thank you all who worked today, you guys are awesome♡

Got my ears pierced for the first time here. Employees were friendly and patient with me being a big baby, and gave me plenty of information regarding care and when to come back in. 10/10

I’d say go to a different shop if you’re looking for professionalism cause it ain’t at laughing Buddha. My friend brought up multiple times that her piercing placement was crooked but they insisted it looked fine, but of course after the process the piercing is crooked and swelling bad. They gave my friend a coupon to come fix something they messed up on but overall gave her a hassle to even take it out. Bald guy working there wouldn’t let anyone else in the room which was sketchy. Trust me you’re better off at another place

I recently walked into this body piercing shop (The laughing buddha)in seek of professional advice about an existing piercing.About 5 mo ago my 10yr old had her earlobes pierced at a different piercing shop.My 10 yr old started to developed painful bumps near her neck close to her piercing site. I had reached out to the original piercer who pierced her earlobes regarding this concerning issue but had no response back from the original piercer.In desperate need of help, I decided to walk into the laughing Buddha in riverside for profesional help and its a decision I don’t regret at all! From the moment we stepped in from the moment we walked out we were 100 percent happy with the service this shop provided.Hope was amazing on informing me what might have caused the problem and the steps I needed to take. She also helped me decide what would be the best option for my 10 yr old in regards to having the correct jewelry.Hope attended to my 10 yr old with care and kindness. I love how Hope acknowledged my daughter from the beginning and was trying her best to make my daughters service be as gentle as possible. Even though my 10 yr old did not get pierced at this shop we did get profesional service here. 10 out of 10 we definetly recommend this shop for your piercing needs. We got the professional help we needed thanks to Hope.My daughters earlobes are noticably healing after getting Hopes profesional knowledge and service. We will definitely be returning to this shop for any of our future body piercings.Thanks aging to Hope and the other young lady who also greeted us upon arrival I didnt get your name but we are happy with your customer service.

Best service! I got my septum pierced here not that long ago and i was extremely afraid. However the piercer made me feel comfortable and it was quick and easy. I plan on coming here to get more piercings in the future when i have more money. I wish I was able to tip my piercer a lot more. I will be sure to tip them a lot more next time bc of their amazing service!

I decided to go and get my septum pierced yesterday morning and messaged Kalin during the afternoon. She was so friendly, helpful, and informative. I showed up later that afternoon and was helped immediately by Kalin. I was well educated and provided information about the process and the piercing. Joy pierced me. She was very knowledgeable and super nice. I would definitely recommend anyone to go here who’s considering getting a piercing. Clean and professional. One of the best in Riverside for sure.

I loved everything about my experience here! I got 4 piercings done and my friend got 3. The staff helped us select jewelry and piercings that would fit well with our existing piercings and anatomy. We took a while to decide and they were very patient.

If I could leave NO STARS I would. These young ladies lack the confidence in piercing and small business ownership. Who take advantage of the community. Do no go here to get pierce instead support a well established and experienced shop PARAGON TATTOO SHOP

Came in today in the middle of the day when a business like this would typically not be getting business and came to get permanent bracelets with my girlfriend. we would have spent 140$ on these bracelets but the woman working literally did not care and made us sit there for more than 30 minutes when i know for a fact it wouldve only taken less than 2 minutes to go get the freaking pieces of metal and weld them onto our wrists. your loss lol

I showed up to get my daith jewelry removed. Kailyn was so hopeful on giving me the information i needed and Hope was quick on removing my old jewlery and had everything sterilized for the new jewelry. Im glad I went here and I look forward to doing all my piercings here 😌

Love my nose piercing I got today, the piercer did an amazing job

Thanks to the kind and helpful staff this was my best piercing experience so far. I will be back!

Helped me out on short notice with no appointment, had a lovely variety of jewelry for sale

Beautiful jewelry and amazing service!
