Good Words. Good People.
Had our baby’s ears pierced by the owner himself, Michael. He was so kind, professional, and highly experienced. They hold a very clean and sanitary environment. We were incredibly content with our visit. Would recommend!

I love this place. The people there are great. If you ever need a piercing, jewelry, tattoos, etc this is the place to come to. I made an appointment with Steve-O who did a memorial tattoo for my friend Gina who passed away. I'm so blown away at the piece of art that will forever be on my arm. Thank you Steve-O for making such a beautiful tribute of my friend. Her favorite color is blue and you nailed everything perfectly. I literally have tears streaming down my face as I type this. Her family was so surprised when I showed them and love that the Blue Phoenix represents her life after death and being reborn in the spirit 🙏🏾🕊️🤍💙

We took our daughters here to get their ears pierced for the first time. The entire staff was friendly, professional, and very helpful during the entire process. The girls got their ears done by Samantha and she was incredible! Save time, skip Claire's and come to The Exotic Body.

We had our 7 month old baby’s ears pierced by the owner Michael and it was such a great experience! I was searching online for a place to have her ears pierced by a professional who also has experience with infants and I’m so glad I chose Exotic Body! Very clean, professional environment with a big selection of quality jewelry to choose from. Bring your baby here (:

I’ve seen Kayla a few times now and each time she is the best! Always takes her time when I’m choosing jewelry and is so quick to help with any questions on my piercings. Couldn’t be happier going there!! 🩷

This is one of the best piercing and tattoo places in downtown Sacramento. They've also been around since the 90s. I went there to get a piercing. I got a "UFO piercing AKA an orbital piercing to commemorate my 18 years, sobriety from alcohol. Customer service was top-notch... I highly recommend going there for any of your piercing and tattoo needs. You must call or make an appointment online for all services there, by appointments only. When I got pierced, I saw Samantha. She's normally there on Tuesdays and Fridays. Amazing piercer she was calm and walked me through everything, how to recommend her but honestly everybody in that shop it good.

My teen daughter got her ears pierced today and the experience was so lovely! Incredibly tidy, lots of beautiful jewelry to choose from, and everyone who works there is incredibly kind and helpful. My daughter is super happy and felt heard, she was very nervous during the appt but was raving about her experience when we got in the car! Absolutely will be recommending them to everyone! Thanks for making her first piercing special. 🙂

Michael's and Samantha's expertise is present in all that they do. I have gotten a nipple, philtrum (twice), a second lobe, and septum piercing here.A septum ring through a local brand pupil had a chain on it that broke and they were able to work back with the designer of Pupil Hall to get it replaced/repaired.

This is my 3rd visit here. Last time was for my teen's nostril. This time is was for her belly button. Everyone I've ever come across here is so nice. And they carry unique beautiful jewelry. I'd totally get stretched just to be able to wear some of the things I've seen here.Edit to add: Samantha is my fave piercer. I came again, this time with my mom and we got our septums pierced. NO PAIN, SHES THAT GOOD, Y'ALL! She also did my nippies about 2 yrs ago.

Michael is hilarious, Samantha has the touch of an angel, and Kayla is the sweetest. All the piercings I got here (nostril, tragus, rook) were painless and never got infected. Only Michael and Samantha have pierced me, but I prefer to have Kayla downsize or switch out my jewelry because she’s fast and gentle. Booking online is a breeze, too. Their services and prices are all laid out so there are no surprises.

Michael was super informative and helpful for my first piercing in a very "delicate" place. Everything was super clean, very professional, and done with care and precision!! Thanks so much!!!Update: Everything has healed amazingly well, and 3.5 months post piercing I've been able to gauge up one size without any pain or complications!

I took my daughter (15) to get her first piercing. She decided to go with a septum piercing. Samantha was so amazing. Answered all our questions and explained the aftercare. The whole appointment was a wonderful experience.

Samantha was amazing, kind, patient, and very skilled! Went in for a nostril piercing... The process was so smooth, and it looks great! I'm from Chicago, but I would wait until my next trip to Sac if I decided to get another piercing. I had a great experience! Highly recommend!

5 stars across the board! Booked an appointment for a tongue piercing with Samantha and she did not disappoint! I experienced no pain (I have a low pain tolerance) and Samantha walked me through each step along the way. She has a positive attitude and gets you in and out!

Clean. Professional. Unbeatable jewelry selection.Look no further! I promise you’ll keep coming back!It is clear the second you walk in that Michael holds this shop with the highest of regards. The beautiful display cases speak for themselves. It takes a very reputable shop to hold such a large selection of high quality jewelry. Even if you’re not looking for any new piercings, this is the perfect place for the perfect jewelry curation. You won’t find a larger selection of prestige- or affordable pieces of the highest quality anywhere else, and it gives me peace of mind knowing my investment in BVLA and Buddha Jewelry is backed by a warranty so any quality issues that arise is covered as long as the piece is not lost.For the piercers themselves, i trust them with my life. Kayla is so warm and friendly, Samantha is the placement expert and make piercings so fast and relatively painless and Michael is such a character with so many years of expertise I would be confident in him with even the most difficult of piercings. Each piercer is a different vibe but they’re all amazing. I now come here exclusively, as you should too. I especially recommend this shop for parents looking to get their little one’s lobes pierced (getting pierced with a needle hurts far less than a gun and heals faster!) Anytime i’ve gotten pierced outside of exotic body, things seem to go wrong and i always come running back to EB for a second option (and they’re always right). They’re always so accommodating and helpful.The piercing fee isn’t just to get poked or to cover the PPE but it’s the whole entire experience from the moment you walk in to the second you walk out the door. You’re paying for their knowledge, their unbeatable jewlery selection that has something for everyone in any budget, and their expertise (and APP certification). Since it’s appointment only, most times you have the entire shop to yourself for those 30 minutes which pretty much guarantees you prime parking. There’s lots to loveI’m always looking forward to my next piercing with you ❤️

Professional, clean and friendly. I would definitely recommend Kayla. She was nice and professional. The nose piercing was quick and easy, even though it did hurt a little, as expected. Thank you.

Definitely coming back for all my piercings! First impression upon entering the facility, my brain went, "CLEAN". The place was spotless, the display cases glowed and their jewelry selection was beautiful. The person at the front desk was so polite, and their makeup was on fleek as the cool kids say. Me and three friends all came in for piercings on appointment and they took care of us rapidly and practiced amazing aseptic technique.

Great piercing shop. Samantha did my nipple piercings today and I had a lot of anxiety pre-piercing, but it was a calming and reassuring environment, she was also very sweet and professional and it went well. Very very clean environment. Only downside might be for some people that it’s expensive, but the jewelry is great quality and the service very professional.

I got my Snake Bites (double labrets, lower lip) pierced here on January 6th of this year, and I had a lovely time here during my consultation and piercing with Samantha!The building itself is very clean, and the facilities are well-organized. I felt safe and secure while being pierced, and Samantha was lovely to speak to during the process.It slipped my mind to write a review until now, but I figured I should! I will be returning someday in the future to hopefully get more piercings.

Samantha was awesome! She took the time to review the pieces of jewelry with me first and discuss style too before we even pierced. I didn't know that you could get pierced with other jewelery so it was so cool to see the gold pieces available.I picked out a cute CZ clicker for my septum and we got down to business. We were in and out in about 25 mins.Thank you! I love it!!

My daughter and I both got our ear lobes pierced by Kayla at The Exotic Body. It was a great experience, Kayla was patient and explained the process carefully and we are both healing up nicely. Definitely recommend and will be back when my younger daughter is ready.

I always have such a wonderful experience being pierced by Samantha. I Can tell how experienced and knowledgeable she is. I trust her advice and am so happy to have found a piercer who is dedicated to quality jewelry and great advice! Going to exotic body is worth every cent. It’s the only place I’ve ever been that my body agreed with 💚💚

10/10 experience!! I had six ear piercings done by Samantha and they are SO gorgeous. She even helped me pick out my jewelry which matched my aesthetic perfectly.Plus she’s so amazing at what she does, we literally had a wholesome conversation the entire time. No pain, no drama at all! Can’t wait to go back already!

The staff here are highly professional, helpful and friendly. You have to book an appointment before going to this shop. The business strictly follows Covid-19 protocols so make sure you bring a mask! The collection of jewelry is amazing and they always properly sterilize things before piercing. Cash is preferred when paying but if you don’t have that on hand there is a small fee for processing cards.

I’ve gone to Exotic Body twice now for piercings. The first was with my Mom, we went to get her nose pierced, which is one she's wanted for a while—the second with my best friend to get her lip. I got one nostril at each appointment. Both of them were very nervous, but Michael did a stellar job putting them at ease with some jokes & quick pokes lol I’m going back with my mom for some jewelry insertion later today, which is what reminded me to finally leave the review I’ve been meaning to for months now! The front desk service is also excellent. Exotic is all around a solid shop🤙🏼

My friend and I had Samantha as a piercer and she was absolutely amazing! She pierced quickly and was pinpoint accurate. The front desk person (we didn't get their name) was super welcoming and helpful. We drove all the way from Fresno, CA for them and it was so SO worth it!! We WILL be coming back 🙂

I took my 9yo daughter at the recommendation of my 21yo daughter although she has never been there.If you watched Friends you would know what I mean when I say Monica clean! This place was 150% cleaner than Monica clean. My doctor’s or dentist’s office is not as clean as The Exotic Body place. Squeaky clean everywhere!My daughter was seen by Michael. It was her first piercing ever and she was very nervous! I was very nervous too. We had to postpone the visit couple of times because she would change her mind because of how afraid she was to have her ears pierced. Once in that chair in front of Michael, my daughter forgot about pain. Michael has a way with dealing with young customers. He started talking to her about her job and her favorite color and other very effective small talk. When my daughter turned to me I thought she wanted me to see her before the piercing started but she looked at me because her piercing was done. I did not even notice when and how that happened. When we left, I looked at her ears to make sure they are pierced. That is how fast it happened. I believe it is all because of how professional and kind and fun and nice Michael was.One more thing. If Michael ever decides to change jobs, he should become an elementary school teacher. His students would do homework without knowing they are doing homework!Thank you, Michael and all your very nice staff!

I've been coming to Exotic Body for my piercings for many years now. The staff here are super friendly and take the time to assist. The facility is very clean and sterile. They always have the latest jewelry pieces in stock as well. Shout-out to Samantha and Kayla!

I got my conch and a lobe piercing done 2 weeks ago by Michael. It was a great experience and really showed me how much the quality of your piercer and jewelry makes a difference. Aftercare has been a breeze. Way less swelling, bruising, and pain than my previous piercings, which I attribute to Michael's expertise 😉

All I have to say is you pay for what you get. Worth every penny! Wish I was able to actually spend more. I know the piercings I received will heal excellently (Flat and Daith piercing). For me personally, it was painless. Depends on your pain tolerance.As for my 1st time visit, Mike is a business man, knowledgeable and most definitely experienced-31 years baby!I absolutely LOVE and APPRECIATE how clean the whole place is. Amazing selection for jewelry. Thank you Mike you are awesome. Going to come back.P.S. Forever Giants and Niners!!!!! 🙂
