This location is the first for Union City, and theyve been open for barely a month, but they have tons of experienced individuals working here. My significant other saw they were opening up the shop here, and we checked out their socials and asked for a consultation. They have appointments that can be booked online, or you can contact the artist for availability. I met up with Diego, one of the tattoo artists, and he was super nice and professional. Hes highly concentrated when hes working, but he was able to make me feel comfortable throughout the five hour session. He was able to make adjustments for me the morning of my appointment, and everything turned out great. His line work is amazing, and I would definitely recommend checking out their social media account to see all the artist.The location is very clean, which feels reassuring for getting piercings or tattoos.The piercer, Sin, is super friendly and chill to talk to. Even though I wasnt getting any work done by him, he saw me in and assisted me in any way that he could. My significant other ended up buying a few pieces of jewelry from him, and hes very knowledgeable of his craft.Overall, the people who work here really care for not only their work but also for the people that come into their establishment. I highly recommend checking them out if youre interested in a tattoo or piercings.

I had two tattoos done by Damian today and I am completely in love with them. He’s extremely talented, and made me feel super comfortable throughout the process. He was super thorough with explaining aftercare and ensured me I could reach out to him with any questions or concerns. The studio was extremely clean and had a great vibe. I would highly recommend Damian!!

Sacred Soul has been amazing at taking care of my tattoo and piercing needs.Sin is a very talented piercer and has done a few of my piercings. I went in for jewelry change for my septum and he had many choices for the new jewelry. While I was there I also got my helix pierced. Sin was able to answer my questions and he was very thorough on explaining the aftercare. Prior to my visit I had accidentally bumped my nostril piercing and developed a piercing bump. Sin took a look at it and was able to explain to me the treatment I needed to do to have the bump heal. My piercing bump is all gone now and has healed beautifully following Sin’s advice.Damian is an amazing tattoo artist. I walked in with a design in mind, Damian provided a consultation we scheduled an appointment. The tattoo process was great and he would check in with me to see if I needed any breaks. Damian was great at explaining the aftercare instructions. My tattoo looks fantastic, Damian has great tattooing skills and fun to talk to.

I’ve been going to Sin for my piercings for several years & am so happy for him to be working in his own new (shared) shop. He has pierced me a few times, several of my friends, and my 10 year old daughter’s ears.A piercing with him is different than any other shop - he truly cares about your experience & will coach you through breathing and being brave. He is also honest about healing time/what to expect and his sanitary practices are top notch... I went in yesterday for a double piercing and left feeling empowered. I’m so excited to see this shop grow- 10/10 recommend. & If you’re on the fence about getting a piercing- make a consultation with Sin. He will be honest with you and help you find clarity about what you’re looking for and the best timing to get your service.

If you need a tattoo, look no further! I had an awesome experience. The shop has a great vibe and it’s clean. Damian was my artist and he was great! He was quick to respond and listened to what I wanted. I couldn’t be happier with the tattoo that honors my grandfather. I will definitely be back for more!

Getting pierced by Sin has been an amazing experience every time! Ive trusted him with multiple piercings, including my lip, belly button, ear, and just today, my tragus. Every experience has been flawless and professional. My sister has also had a few piercings done by Sin, and she’s equally thrilled with the results.One of the standout aspects of getting pierced by Sin is his use of great breathing techniques. These techniques have made the experience far more comfortable and less stressful. The environment at his piercing and tattoo place is amazing—clean, welcoming, and full of creative energy. He also has a lot of beautiful jewelry pieces to choose from, which adds a personal touch to every piercing.With over 15 years of piercing experience, Sin is not only highly skilled but also incredibly friendly and welcoming. He truly provides the best customer service, making sure you feel comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Sin to anyone looking for a professional and pleasant piercing experience. He’s the best in the business!Thanks again Sin I’m in love with my new piercings!

Chino exhibits exceptional speed, kindness, and talent. He is the most skilled and detail-oriented artist I have ever encountered, and I am confident he is the most exceptional tattoo artist ever. This sentiment is based on my personal experience. The ambiance is delightful, fostering an amicable environment, and the quality of the artwork is exceptional. Chinos work is awe-inspiring, and he made extraordinary efforts to ensure my complete satisfaction with my tattoo. I was afforded ample opportunities to seek clarifications and consistently received comprehensive, detailed responses. He presented my concept at the studio and transformed it into a masterpiece. Notably, he skillfully incorporated my burn mark into the tattoo, resulting in a unique outcome.

Ive been seeing Sin for my piercings for 4+ years. Hes the best in the business. His gentle and calm energy helps me feel so peaceful and calms any nerves I have about my piercing. Hes so professional and efficient. So happy to support his new shop!•I just got a fine line tattoo with Damian. He had very grounded and peaceful energy which helped me feel comfortable & relax into the experience. He was very kind and adjusted my design & replaced my stencil multiple times. 10/10 will be coming back!•Great conversation & great genuine souls

Sin is the absolute best piercer that I know. He has done all of my cartilage piercings since 2019. Today, he did a double helix piercing to bring my total to 5 piercings from him and I trust him unconditionally.He is gentle, patient, thorough in his explanations, and extremely skilled. If you are looking for the best, you will absolutely find it in him.

Getting pierced by Sin was a great experience! You can really tell he cares about his work and his clients, making everything a really comforting time. Theres a wide variety of jewelry to choose from, everything is super clean, and the environment of the shop is really welcoming. Definitely will be coming back in the future.Overall, I would highly recommend coming here for any piercing or tattoo needs!

I was so happy to discover that Sin, my go-to piercer, has helped open his new studio in Union City. Sin has been my piercer for all previous work and his expertise and passion are truly impressive. In his new studio, he has already helped me with two lobe piercings and assisted in stretching my septum, making each step comfortable and secure. Sin takes the time to ensure every detail is perfect, and weve even discussed getting an industrial piercing soon. He carefully explained the care needed, especially since I wear glasses and often hats or beanies.Additionally, I had a great conversation with Diego, a tattoo artist at the studio, about a potential matching tattoo with four friends. Diego was incredibly welcoming about the idea and Im excited to see our ideas come to life once we finalize our plans. For anyone looking for professional piercing or tattoo services, visiting Sin’s new studio is a must. Hes absolutely the real deal!

Sacred Souls is so cool! The inside is very clean and they have awesome decorations. We was greeted instantly and without an appt (but definitely recommend one just in case!). Super awesome staff. I was pierced by Sin for my septum and he was super professional and nice. He showed me the clean tools and piercing and understood I needed it to be flipped up so he let me take a photo before getting it flipped up by him. Its awesome having a studio right next door and Im definitely going back for more piercings!

I met Sin about 10 years ago to get one of my first piercings. Since then, Ive visited him about a dozen more times for piercings. I got my lip re-pierced last week and as always, Sin delivers the absolute BEST customer service. He is patient, explains the process in detail, makes sure you feel comfortable during the entire process, and delivers in the best work. Sin is one of the only people I trust, and his work and hospitality show exactly why! Thank you brother!

My friend had recommended me this shop, loved the studio and atmosphere the shop owner and his wife bring!Got angel bites and from the beginning to end the experience was wonderful, I felt super comfortable and confident with ever step of the piercings! The studio space from tattoo to piercing stations were all super clean, organized and well put together. If I could give this shop a higher rating I would. Best shop in the Bay area and highly recommend to everyone and anyone looking to have a well taken care of experience. Thank you all at sacred souls, will come back again in the future!

I came to the studio for piercings and ended up coming back for tattoos as well.Sin is amazing and very thorough. He definitely knows his craft and will make you feel at ease. I ended up getting additional piercing cause he was so good and gentle. Will definitely return to get more piercings.After my piercing, I got a tattoo consult with Damian. He is an amazing artist for sure. I provided him with a sketch and he ran with it. He was also willing to make changes to the sketches when I wanted something updated. Getting the tattoo itself was so quick and painless. He has a very gentle hand and is incredibly efficient. I love my tattoo and it is healing nicely so far.The studio itself is so nice and clean. Really loved coming here.

Sin is hands down the best in the game! The shop is very clean and has an inviting atmosphere. Scheduling was super easy with their online portal as well. Once we arrived for our appointment time, Sin showed us all of their jewelry options and really spent time making sure we chose exactly the piece we wanted. Sin goes above and beyond to help you eliminate the anxiety that tends to come along with getting a piercing and turns the process into a spiritual experience. If I could give the shop more stars, I would!

I stumbled upon this place on google. I was looking for a place local to get a small/my first tattoo. I contacted this business through instagram before business hours and got a fast response. I was able to set up an appointment with an artist the next day.When I came in, I was nervous because I didn’t know what to expect. I was greeted by Damian (Ian) who also did my tattoo. He made me feel so comfortable. The place is cozy, the staff were all very friendly, it’s a very welcoming atmosphere and I’m looking forward to returning for more work in the future.Thank you again for a wonderful experience!

I would never go to anyone else! I had the pleasure of visiting Sin when he was working at inkies studio in Fremont. Sin employs a unique breathing technique that truly revolutionizes the piercing experience and making it very comfortable. I was impressed by the level of cleanliness and sanitation he had. He meticulously explained his sterilization process, ensuring every instrument was pristine and safe.During the piercing procedure itself, I was amazed by the effectiveness of his breathing technique. His skillful hands and attention to detail further enhanced the process, leaving me feeling confident and relaxed throughout.Overall, I highly recommend Sin to anyone seeking a professional and pain-free piercing experience. His commitment to cleanliness, combined with his innovative breathing technique, sets him apart as a true gem in the industry.

Found this place through a shoe page I follow on IG. All the artists here are phenomenal but I had to the pleasure of working with Damian. Talked about some designs/options and got me scheduled the same day. This shop is very clean and organized, something you would hope to see especially it being your first time there. Damian made the whole process smooth and comforting. He takes initiative to getting to know his clients and making it an experience rather than business transaction. I would recommend anyone to check it out.

Sin is definitely the best piercer in the bay!! I’ve gotten my medusa, septum, and brow piercing done by sin over the years and they’ve all healed sooo beautifully. I had gotten other piercings done by so many different people before him and either it wasn’t quality jewelry, piercing got infected or bad customer service. With sin I do not have to worry about any of that! I am also very scared of needles but he helps me stay really calm and balanced to make it go by very fast and easy. Over all an amazing experience with quality service. I will not be going to any other piercer as long as sin is still working!! 😂 Highly recommend him if you want an experienced and knowledgeable piercer.

Big thanks to Sin for replacing my septum after the folks at Dogfather rejected me. According to them, my nose didnt have the correct anatomy for a septum, which is interesting since Ive had the piercing for 2 years now with no issue and another piercer at Dogfather had been the one to put in the piece. Whatever, I was in pain from the taper and didnt want to argue but I wanted a second opinion. I visited Inkies but was informed they no longer do piercings since their guy, Sin, had opened up shop in Union City. I was able to book a same day appointment and Sin replaced my septum with a lot less pain and in record time. Their prices are transparent and Sin wears a surgical mask during the appointment which is nice since no one likes to be breathed on.The studio is bright and spacious with a small but beautiful selection of jewelry. Sin is able to place an order if there is anything specific you prefer.Im so glad to have my piercing back!! Thank you Sin and Sacred Soul.$10 deposit towards the $20 replacement cost + $20 titanium jewelry.

Sin has been my piercer for all of time and when my daughter was old enough to want piercings I knew exactly who was going to pierce her. Sin is professional, patient, and what I appreciate the most about Sin is the advice he gives you when discussing the piercing you want. So happy Sin is piercing again and even closer, I’m running out of room on my ears - might have to revisit dermal again? 😂😂

Congrats to their new shop!Last year I needed a midsize cover-up on my upper arm and I do want something in completely different style. I have researched for more than six months and finally landed on Japanese style and Adrian!Adrian is a great tattoo artist. I had my 2nd session with him and I am very happy on what I got so far! It’s like having a piece of art attached on myself and it’s so fascinating!Next session will be coloring, I am super excited to see what it will come out afterwards! 👺🐉🐢

The tattoo artist, Diego, demonstrated exceptional skill and artistry in creating a stunning mandala/eye piece just below my neck. I appreciate the opportunity to select pre-drawn artwork, and Diegos workstation showcased a diverse collection of stencil work. Among these, I was drawn to a unique mandala/third eye piece. While I had chosen this piece, Diego respectfully suggested subtle modifications to enhance its beauty. His line work is precise and crisp, and his color work is truly remarkable. I highly recommend Diegos work and professionalism to anyone seeking a skilled and dedicated tattoo artist.
