The piercer was super knowledgeable and accommodating. He ensured we could make the piercing work even with my weird anatomy! I was super comfortable and great experience overall, I will definitely be getting more piercings here!

I recently got pierced for my birthday and it was a great experience! Daniel was patient and very careful and aware of everything when it came to the piercings. I had my mom cousin and aunt there with me and they also think the same thing!

Super nice owner & walks you through the whole process. Everything is clean & tools are sterilized. Hes also very gentle. Seriously the best ear piercing experience & post healing experience (do not go to places like Claires that use a piercing gun!!) I had taken my daughter here a few years ago & she had zero pain & zero post swelling so we knew we had to come back. Today my daughter & I had both him re-pierce a few ear piercings that were partially closed & we had the best experience. I highly recommend Body Exotic to get your piercings.

The folks at Body Exotic were helpful, service oriented and skilled. I don’t remember the employee’s name but the person was very helpful in suggesting jewelry and procedure. The store is small with glass cases filled with assorted jewelry. At the time of my visit (NOV 22) the store had about four guests and it was a bit tight inside. Church pew benches were available to sit upon. Parking sucks as there’s only three or so spots out front and shared with a tattoo parlour. Park along the near by cross street - a short walk away.

Had an amazing experience here! Daniel is super kind, friendly and detailed. He took his time answering my questions and made sure my nostril piercing was exactly where I wanted it, even using a vernier caliper for accuracy. The piercing process was clean, not too painful, and it looks great! Highly recommend this place for body piercings.

Great service. My visit was only to buy a piercing jewelry. Accidentally I lost my jewelry I had since about 10 years ago. I got it at Body exotic. I really recommend this place.

I was nervous to get my piercings due to past bad experiences/piercers but was pleasantly surprised. i got an immediate response so booking an appointment was easy and he was patient with any questions i had. the shop was super clean and the piercer was super nice. he did a great job and took his time marking my ears to make sure it was as symmetrical as possible. would definitely come back or recommend to a friend

Absolute best piercing shop in the city. Daniel is super knowledgeable and patient. Just got my septum piercing done there after having a really bad piercing experience at another shop a few years ago, the jewelry was in before I even knew it and it was effortless. He answered all the questions and worked around my scar tissue expertly. 10/10 will be going here for all my future piercings.

I had a great experience at this shop. It was extremely clean! I got a dermal piercing for $80, this price included the jewelry of my choice. The man who helped me was very professional and gave great advice. He was also really fast! Dermals hurt a lot but he got it done so quick it was well worth it. They also have a great and safe protocol drying this pandemic. Ill be coming back for the rest of my piercings. Thank you!!

Got my septum pierced here it was super easy and my piercer was kind enough to offer candy when i started to feel nervous and seeing stars before my piercing. Came back again to get it changed once healed and he answered my questions informatively :) Great place

I LOVE Body Exotic. It is in my opinion the best piercing place in the bay area. Daniel is kind, informative, professional, and super helpful. He had a tough one with me. I got a very poorly done piercing in a seedy piercing place in London and it was infected constantly. But Daniel saved the day and re-pierced my nose piercing and he provided me with the jewerly I needed for it to stay healthy. I didnt have to sacrifice a piercing I have always wanted to have! I am so grateful for his help and I truly believe you should look no further for your piercing needs. Thank you for running such a great establishment and I look forward to coming back to your business again

Ive gotten a septum and an industrial here. Great service. Very caring and patient. Both piercings placed perfectly. My septum healed perfectly. My industrial was giving me some trouble because I touch it too much so he helped me take it out and put in a smaller one. Its healing better now. Ive also gotten my septum changed here a few times. I would come back for any piercing and would highly recommend.

I took my sister to get her second piercing and cartilage here. The guy was so nice and answered all of our questions through Instagram and gave us a very reasonable quote.Once we were at the place, he noticed that my sisters first piercings were uneven and was skilled even to find the perfect placement to make that less noticeable. He takes his time to be precise and uses calipers to measure and make sure the placement is exactly what you want. Highly recommend!

10/10 place to go! It has a very relaxed atmosphere and the fact that they accept walk-ins makes it even better. Daniel was so nice and patient and obviously knew what he was doing. I came out with an awesome nose piercing and will definitely be back.

Daniel provides care that goes above and beyond the call of duty, even going as far as remembering procedures performed on me upwards of five years ago. Particularly if youre in the market for Dangerous Things installs, go to Daniel. Hes the guy.
