About us
Who we are
Opened in 1990, The Exotic Body is located in Sacramento, California and is Sacramento’s premiere body modification studio! We’ve worked very hard to provide Sacramento with a high quality, safe alternative to other shops in town. The Exotic Body has been featured in the Best of Sacramento Magazine and on KCRA’s Sacramento A-list! We are a LGBTQIA+ friendly establishment and we welcome clients of every experience level; whether it’s your first piercing or your 50th piercing, we’re thrilled to work with you!
Our appointment booking process is fast and simple and allows us to spend uninterrupted time with each client to ensure everyone has an amazing and safe experience! Our piercers are extensively trained to ensure proper understanding of sterilization, anatomy, technique, healing, jewelry, and every other aspect of the piercing process!
The Exotic Body is a proud member of the APP, or Association of Professional Piercers. The APP is an international health and safety organization. It is a nonprofit voluntary alliance dedicated to the dissemination of information about body piercing. Governed by a voluntarily elected Board of Directors, the APP is a united group of piercing professionals that freely shares information to help fellow members, piercers, health care professionals, legislators, health inspectors, and the general public get the best and most up-to-date information about body piercing. Studios that are members of the APP are held to higher standards than other piercing studios. We have requirements that must be met regarding technique (including CPR and First Aid), cleanliness, quality of tools and jewelry, and client relations. We believe in continued education! All of our piercers are actively learning and incorporating new techniques introduced to the piercing community, so that we can ensure we are up to date on all of the most current information out there.
The Exotic Body never uses piercing guns! We only use single use needles, that are individually sterilized and discarded immediately after use. Our tools are processed using a state of the art sterilization system daily and are individually packaged and monitored for re-processing if they aren’t used right away, so you can be sure that your piercing is performed in a clean, safe environment.
We offer a wide range of extremely high quality jewelry to choose from; from basics to show stopping designs, even custom orders are available! We believe in only offering our clients the best of the best, so all of the jewelry brands we purchase from are verified to be of the highest quality we can get!
The Exotic Body specializes in gold jewelry, so we have the most options available in either white, yellow, or rose gold. All of our gold jewelry used for initial piercings is solid gold, not plated and never recycled. All of our white gold jewelry is colored white using Palladium, not nickel, so those with nickel allergies won’t have to worry.
We also carry implant grade Titanium and (some) Steel jewelry. All of our implant grade Titanium is certified titanium (Ti6Al4V ELI) that is ASTM F-136 compliant, ASTM F1295, ISO 5832-3 compliant, or commercially pure titanium that is ASTM F-67 compliant. All of our steel jewelry is implant-grade surgical steel (316LVM or higher!). This is important! Using inferior quality jewelry can cause your piercing to ‘reject’ (the jewelry) and/or get infected!
We are thrilled to carry genuine diamonds, Swarovski CZ stones, and lab created diamonds! We also offer tons and tons of options in natural stones like Amethyst, Opal, Tigers Eye, Topaz and so many more; so no matter your preference we’ll have something just right for you!
Some of the Jewelry Brands we carry are:
Please see our Pricing or Appointments tab to see currently offered services. Each of our piercers have specific piercings that they do or do not perform, based on experience and/or personal preference, so if you have something specific in mind you’d like done by a certain piercer you can always reach out and find out if they offer that specific service. We do not offer any services outside of those listed and we will not make exceptions on these policies.
The Exotic Body offers tattooing services as well, with our amazing and kind artist, Steve’O! To book a tattoo appointment you’ll need to reach out to Steve’O directly. Please see our contact page for his direct contact info.
