Sure they may be cheaper than other places, but dont text them on a bad day because they love attitude and dislike acting professional. Second, my smiley piercing came out crooked. Will get it redone elsewhere.
This is the third time Ive been to this establishment. The staff is absolutely amazing. And very respectful, professional, and knowledgeable. My daughter has been pierced here (on said three occasions), and they do such an amazing job. They ALWAYS make sure to give her the proper care Instructions before she leaves as well. I highly recommend this place for any piercings youre looking to get.
This is the second time I’ve been to this establishment and all I can say is they’re awesome! My first time was to get a tattoo and the tattoo artist was super nice and he made me feel very comfortable. It was my first tattoo so he made conversation and helped me not feel so nervous. Today was the second time I went to get my belly re-pierced and the lady who pierced me was really sweet she even gave me free jewelry for when I could change my current jewelry! Thank y’all! :)
Love this place! The artist Nate is freakin amazing! Absolutely love my new addition! Stephanie is awesome and so gentle!❤ Thanks yall! I will definitely be coming back real soon.
It’s been a year since I got my double helix piercings here and I am so happy with it ❤️ Thank you guys I am definitely coming back for more future piercings. The service was great and the prices are fair. 👍🏼 Definitely recommend.
Ive had tattoos done at Hottie body and they are great. Each piece is a work of art. Im already planning on adding on and will definitely go here for each one.
I am so happy with my new piercing. I love it.Im definitely coming back for more. They were all so friendly and very professionalThe place was very clean.I highly recommend hottie body
This place is awesome. Got an ear piercing here and would recommend them to anyone. Service was fast and excellent. Had all my questions answered and was made to feel completely comfortable. Looking forward to my next experience here.
I love this place! I always get my piercings here, they are decently priced and give off a great vibe! After I got one of my piercings today I got to take a piercing home for free! Highly recommend!
I loved it here! Got my 1st tattoo of my dogs paw here witch came out amazing! I was very nervous and they calmed me down put nice music on and even held my hand. Let me know how to clean it and take care of it, & Healed fast (:
I just got my cheeks pierced and I’m a super anxious/ shaky person but like anyone I want my piercings to be even and she did them perfectly, highly recommend. They’re super nice and professional and really good atmosphere, I’m so happy with my piercings.
I love this place! Took my daughter here for the first time for a nose piercing and had an amazing experience. Quick and professional. 5 star service . Thx
I took my son and my daughter in for piercings as well as getting a tattoo for myself. I couldnt be happier! The entire place was very clean and the ladies working there were amazing. Furthermore, because my son has medical issues, the owner was in contact with me before, during and after my kids piercings. The shop has a very relaxed yet professional feel. I was more than comfortable here for myself and my children. I highly recommend Hottie Body to anyone looking for ink or piercings! I loved it and will be returning many more times!
Best tattoos in town! Very recommended ! Very knowledgeable friendly artists ! Both the Tattooist and Piercer are as friendly as they come. Professional service. Clean shop. Huge jewelry selection with really good prices .
Amazing Service and Very nice! I got my nose pierced and they did it really Good! Gave me instructions on how to take care of it including a paper. They also give you a mini packet for cleansing. Overall I love this place!
Great vibes fun people competitive prices. Go here for customer service we all expect, fast friendly service. Was a good experience for me hope youll have one too.
I havent been tattooed there. But the piercer Stephanie is phenomenal. Not only is she sweet she is gentle and makes you comfortable. Definitely recommend!
Went in on 6-23-18 to get new earrings for a daith piercing for my mom. We had the pleasure of meeting Stephanie. Thank you so much for your time, patience and the education on proper piercing and care. We went somewhere else and we were all but literally pushed out of the door. Ended up getting my nose pierced for the 3rd time and Im more confident now than ever that I will be able to keep it. We will be returning for any new jewelry for the piercings and Stephanies amazing customer service. Thank you!
This place is owned and staffed by female piercers and artists, by far the cleanest shop I have ever been in. Dont believe the hater reviews (no doubt the other shops who dont like that a woman owns this place), Hottie Body is the only place I am ever going to go for my piercings and tattoos. They are the best you will find and there is no attitude ever and they dont charge those b.s. shop minimums like the others try to do. Highly recommended!
So this was my first visit to a tattoo shop for myself. This 40 year, vanilla, mom of two girls decided to get her nose pierced.I was going to go to another shop that I know of, but once I found out this shop was owned by a woman, I knew I wasnt going anywhere else.I hadnt done any research so I was unnerved when I found out I was going to have a stake pounded into my beak (exaggeration). But Stephanie was quick and it was done with no complications. Two days later (Sunday) I had a question about the stud placement so I called the shop and found them closed. A number given allows text so despite the shop being closed I was able to have my questions answered and my fears put to rest. Technology meets Customer Service. I love it.Im happy with the knowledge, cleanliness and customer service and I would recommend Hottie Body!
So I had actually already gotten my belly pierced at Hottie Body sometime last summer but I was considering going in their, among other places for a tattoo. Since going in there I find some of the other reviews on this page to be sort of funny. One guy was talking about how he was sure the artist were not qualified and that they needed to have a certificate in blood diseases. To be honest it caught my attention so I was curious and wasnt about to get a tattoo from unqualified artists. But since curiosity always gets me, I ended up going in and talking to an artist and he gladly showed me both his blood borne pathogen certificate and his la county registration, which were both current. He actually then also showed me the other artists certificates also and the all of the shops permits. And then, (this might sound odd) I used the restroom and it was totally clean, which is more than I can say for a lot of shops down in the valley, I cant remember any of the shops here either being extremely clean or extremely dirty so I wont comment on them. I picked which artists I wanted and he gave me a very good quote on my tattoo idea and said he would have it drawn up by the next day. I went back in and he showed me, we made a couple minor changes and did it and I am sooooo happy with the result. It was absolutely worth the money and probably more. Go talk to the people at this place!!!!
I heard Hottie Body was female owned and staffed and that they didnt have a shop minimum. I found out that is true and have never been treated as well as they treated me. I have been into tattoo shops and was always turned off by the atmosphere but found this place to be clean, professional and caring. For my navel piercing they were about half what the other guys wanted and I highly recommend them.
I had a tattoo done here and was very impressed with everybody in the shop. The shop was clean and everybody professional. Stephanie is extremely nice always a smile on her face when you walk through the doors. If you want a awesome tattoo or piercing this is where you need to go prices are very good.
Very Nice people got my belly pierced and feeling amazing😍😍
Everyone I know recommended Hottie Body to me and my piercing came out perfect. Also they had the best prices and are the only shop that didnt make me wait or make an appointment. I highly recommend Hottie Body!
Highly recommended for your company. Is the best company in this City. I will come back again thank you
Great service! The staff was friendly and very informative. They have a clean and well maintained facility. I will be back again for another piercing.
The way they text you if you have a question is unprofessional and rude. Like they don’t have patience at all. But in person they have friendly service
As soon as I walked in I knew this was the place to get my piercing! They were super friendly and Stephanie, my piercer, was very gentle, professional, & nice. The piercing was also quick! She did a great job! I will be going in for a tattoo next week!
I love this place! Took my daughter here for the first time for a nose piercing and had an amazing experience and it was good price..Clean facility and very friendly staff
Great experience here! Clean and professional. Got my cartilage pierced. I asked a lot of questions about allergies I have to metals and she was so knowledgeable and nice.
NO this is NOT ANOTHER COMPANY OR PAID SLANDER. Just a PSA. I was reading your companys reviews and had it not been for how remarkably rude you are, I would have gone and gotten work done. I literally could not believe how you speak to customers. I understand people can be over the top as i work in customer service as well but to call people big and say you serve a better class of people is down right rude. Work on your people skills cause honestly all you did was make the bad reviews seem like true statements with how rude you answer people.
I got 2 piercings done here very happy both times
Best prices in the AV. No other shop was even close. Great staff and great work. Ill be back for another tat soon.
Best experience ever. Wanted a piercing for years and Stephanie did a great job. Staff was welcoming and super helpful. Now im all healed up and in love with my new piercings.
My piercing was quick and painless and the service was AMAZING. They provided free jewelry with my piercing and it was a very clean and friendly environment. Im definitely going back soon ❤️ And I highly recommend them
Was there to buy ink this time but they were out at the moment. But...ive been a tatt supply customer for several years and they usually have all i need.
Ive gotten a couple piercings from Stephanie of hottie body and was very impressed with both the professional and friendly atmosphere. Stephanie did a fantastic job and I am very satisfied by both jobs she did. Would definitely recommend!
They were nice and all but they left my belly piercing too much to the left and too high now Im stuck with the scar forever. She drew the dot right at first but its like she ignored it once she went to pierce it. I went to another shop and they agreed it wasnt placed right .. sad cause I was excited about this place
Very talented, very welcoming, respectful, customer service was amazing loved it . Wasn’t weird to go inside they helped out with everything first time getting a tattoo and this was a GREAT place to come to I will be coming back .
Clean shop, excellent customer service both piercer and tattooist are very experienced and knowledgeable. Great prices, amazing ink. Only shop I trust.
Hottie body is my go to tattoo/ piercing spot. Steph & Nate are nothing short of awesome and professional. I trust them with my body and thats hard to find in the AV! They keep it real an all their work is great.
Great I got my nose pierced. And the piercer was very nice and friendly. 👍👍👍
I went in to Hottie Body for the first time not long ago to get a tongue piercing and found myself pleasantly surprised. Compared to all the shops I had looked into before, they offered the piercing for the lowest price. On top of that, their selection of jewelry was top notch, for all kinds of piercings. I have already bought several new pieces of jewelry from them. Not to mention they even sell pretty high grade tattoo equipment as well, helping out new artists wanting to be in the similar field. But not only was I very happy with the piercing afterward, but the artists were easy to be around. They didnt act as though they were better then you and were easily approachable and friendly, unlike the way I was treated at all other shops. Their rooms were clean and sanitary, as well as the artists practicing safe piercing and tattooing techniques. In comparison to a lot of the other shops as well, it was on a much nicer side of town too. I would feel safe leaving the shop even after the sun goes down.Being they also do tattoo work, I asked about that and found there wasnt a shop minimum like every other shop I had been to. A few short weeks ago I had my chest done there, for an amazing price as well, and Im still astonished with the quality of the work. And just like before, work place as clean as ever with the artist being just as sanitary.Ive had tattoos done by other shops in the AV and I am very dissatisfied with them, not just the tattoos but the employees as well. They were rude, disconnected and did really poor work. I dont think Im going to go to any other shop but Hottie Body from now on for both piercings and tattoos. Not only that, but go there to fix tattoos the other shops messed up.So, in short, if you want the best prices, the best service and best results go to Hottie Body.
Would not recommend this place if youre wanting to get an industrial ear piercing.
Easy and fast. Clean, super friendly staff and knowledgeable. Great prices!!
The staff was friendly and helpful, the piercing technician was so quick and put my nerves at ease. 10/10 would return for more piercings.
Had my belly button pierced here. I was so nervous but the lady who pierced it was fast and I didnt even feel it. I loved how it turned out and would definitely recommend going to hottie body.
This is a great shop. Everyone is very nice. Came with my daughter for her first lip piercing. The girl who did the piercing was very professional. She awnsered all our questions. Everything was clean and sanitized. The aftercarr instructions were explained very well. Will do business here again
I love this shop when you walk in you smell bleach which i love that means they are clean all the staff are nice and cool. i got my septum done and its going great.......
The piercer is awesome. I love my Industrial.
Here are some screen shots of my conversation with whoever runs this place. This is not how you should treat anyone with a question about your buisiness. It was rude and seriously unprofessional. I didnt expect a response like this at all. Ive gotten my industrial piercing here before and was happy with the result. However, my one star review is due to how I was treated in this conversation. I asked a simple question and got hit with this, and how you treat your customers shows a great deal about how much you care about them and treat them. I would not want this person peircing my body.
Been going to this shop over the years for all my piercings even before when there was a different piercer and tattoo artist and i would say this place is really legit i always leave very happy ! Piercings always heal very nice as well !!! (:
So happy with my daith piercing. Got it 2 days ago. No headache sense I got it either. Well it has been 1 week now ear is sore but does not hurt anymore. AND STILL NO HEADACHE. Now that its few months later i have fewer headaches but still a few major migraines but ill take fewer any day i still recommend anyone suffereing to try getting it done.
Was recommended to Hottie Body by a friend and had my septum done perfectly and for a great price. Highly recommended!
Got my daith done by Stephanie on Friday and I love it so much! She’s so sweet and waited until I was ready to get it done
Very professional, shop was very clean and uncluttered. The piercing professional was very friendly and quick... she had very steady hands and caused minimal pain when piercing my labret and my boyfriends nipples... though he got a sucker and i didnt.
My experience was AMAZING I got 2 daith piercings and my tongue. Best customer service was so comfortable. Trying go back to more for more work. Hottie Body I HIGHLEY recomend! keep up the great work. 💞
Great place to get a tattoo and piercing they are so nice
Seriously Liarssssss One thing of having your inventury shipped and then tell me ill be over in a few hours, now another story oh yeaah not today but tomorrow.Thank you,Next
Service was quick and easy. My tongue piercing is healing nicely
Extremely professional. Kind and did a great job
Let me get this straight? i gotta pay a minumum of 20 bucks or more in order to buy tattoo supplies. No thank you thats false advertisement it said there are more inks and needles in store then what they are showing on their page. That was a lie, I didnt see enough inks and needles on here merchandise was over priced.
Check out home girl with that being belly ring haha this is the best piercing and tattoo shop in the av... I must stop if you need plugs also..
Very good experience getting a tattoo on my sternum today. Very professional and the art work turned out great!
Really upsetGot my dimples done here they didnt have a big enough bar but still choose to shove a little bar in my cheeks. Now my face cant heal because the jewelry is embedded in my checks. Rather made the money than caring how I would heal. Very disappointedNot all cheeks are the same size
Came here with my boyfriend to get his ears pierced, the peircer rushed us to get the store closed @6:30pm ($50 for both). You can say it was fast and easy. Except that when he was alone in the room with her, (Only one person is allowed to be in the room with the peircer.) she kept rubbing up against and getting way too close to him. It made him really uncomfortable. Rather than that, good priercings.
It was great they do a great job there! I would definitely go back!
I went in around the beginning of March. I got a piercing in my ear actually a Daith piercing. The lady who pierced my ear was very thorough in explaining everything she was going to be doing before she did it. And amazingly everything she said she was going to do and how gentile the piercing was was awesome! It didnt hurt at all! Well ok, initially but she did a really amazing job! I will definitely be going back for more piercings! Thank you Hottie Bodie for amazing work!
I had the worst experience ever at this jewelry store getting my belly button pierced, it was my first time & I love getting walked through when getting tattoos, piercings, etc. I got my piercing out of no where & my body went into shock, I almost threw up. The worst part was that they made me stand in a small cramped room during my piercing. Maybe a month or two after I received this piercing it fell off because the lady did it too short, the same thing happened with my friend who got it the SAME day, hers fell off a day after mine. Worst experience ever.
Very quick and they strive for perfection
Best piercings and tattoos at best prices anywhere!
Great people so friendly, cant wait to go back to get my next tattoo!! Awesome job Im so happy with my ink!!!
Great place for piercing an tattoos ask for nate or Stephanie they arecvery professional!
The workers were very friendly and professional, I got a great tattoo for a very good price.
The fact that they sell tattoo kits to anyone is horrible. They are aiding in the uprise of amateur tattoo artists! It is already bad enough without Hottie Body Jewelrys help. Also the fact that they do tattoos, it is doubtful the artists are licensed or the business even is. Someone really needs to report this place. This is a huge slap in the face to good clean shops and actual artists!
Was communicating via text and person responding was extremely rude and unprofessional all in response to a simple question I was asking. Reading the review responses from owner here I can see how unprofessional they really are.
Not impressed. ordered a kit advertised to do a VCH piercing. The order was smooth, and delivered quickly. (that part was good) Hot body shipped a cork instead of areceiving tube as ordered. We notified them and had a receiving tube shipped outto replace the cork. When we got the receiving tube we were shocked by the diameter.a 6mm dia tube for a VCH piercing. Why? Hot Body told me that was the receiving tube that they always supply with these kits. We were told by many and the piercer who was going to perform this procedure for us, that there is NO way that a tube that large should be used for this type of piercing. Hot body offered a refund if I shipped back the useless tube. not worth the effort. dont want to deal with a company that has no idea what they are doing. we will chalk this one up to experience and take our future business elsewhere.
Best place to learn body piercing.
Well, it has been brought to my attention you were calling me out in a review below, publicly stating lies about me and my business. I have tried to call your shop three times recently during your work hours, you guys dont answer your phone, and as you know, there is not even an answering machine?Well since you clearly bumped your head the morning you wrote the response including me, Ill take it easy on you. First and foremost, I did not write that review AND if it was confirmed myself or any other competitor wrote it Google would remove it. Me, you and anyone with a brain understands that, for goodness sakes the review is 5 years old!It IS a disgusting and horrible thing you are selling tattoo supplies to the public. When you first opened up the AV Press was going to write and article with me in regards to how much staph infections were in the emergency room, we also had a couple educators on board from local high schools in regards to minors on campus with viable tattoos. . They stated so many kids have tattoos now, they cannot enforce the no tattoos rule at school. This all happened with in a year or so of your opening and selling supplies to the public. I wish I could turn back time and work closer with them to get that article written. At the time work was so busy with my shop and tattooing, I let the project go. You can also buy methamphetamine and crack pipes online, should I sell them? NO, that is a terrible thing to do to my community. Any way you shake the stick, any wording you use, or any justification you make it is just wrong. As far as your supposed 30 years of medical experience, how does that help the people that are tattooing out of their house? Do they somehow have cross contamination knowledge because you say you do? Clearly if you had the supposed 30 years medical experience you say do, you would understand where myself and half the community is coming from.As far as me or any other Tattooer sending their girlfriend in to buy supplies? Your kidding me right? Does a mechanic send his shop help to get tools from the .99 cent store? You sell substandard Chinese garbage supplies. Any half witted, half legitimate tattooer wouldnt use the eBay products you sell. The companies myself and any other legitimate tattooer gets supplies from only sells to professionals. These are primarily American made, tried and true products. Not risky-at-best cheap Chinese supplies.Also you have stated I inherited my shop from my father? Well, I havent spoke to my father in over 20 years, I dont even know what he does for a living, and he was never a tattooer, so nope your also wrong there. I took out a loan and payed it back like most business owners in America. There however is another shop owner in this town that inherited his shop. That was not me though, just another lie from you to slander me possibly?Lastly, no I do not sell tattoo supplies, I make and sell hand made tattoo machines. I only sell them to liscenced professional tattooers that are working in legitimate tattoo shops. I have been doing this longer than your place has been in business in cunjunctuon with my tattoo shop.Over the years your shop has been in town, myself and my crew have fixed countless tattoos and piercings from hottie body. Please dont flatter your self by thinking you are a viable threat to me or my shop as you have stated. My shop is a worldly known, multiple award winning shop that has been published internationally over 100 times. I have many guest artists that travel from around the world to guest spot and tattoo here. I charge good money for my tattoos, and believe me when I tell you I have no interest in competing with you for your 50 dollar portraits you offer, or your 150 half sleeves.As you told me to do, I suggest you take a good hard look in the mirror. In every review you are replying how the reviewer is lying, its another shop, etc. Take some damn responsibility for yourself and your business!!!
Got my daughters ears pierced here. Quick and professional.
I was going to give 1 star but I decided to give 2 because my first experience here was good. I didnt have to wait long to be seen, they marked me to confirm where I wanted the piercing, the staff seemed friendly and my healing process was a breeze! Had no problem. Now, my second time I got my cartridge pierced, lets keep in mind I had my cartridge done 4 times (from a different company) and had no problem, though I did remove the previous piercings it was due to appearance reasons, but I never had any swelling or infection from them. The piercing done here was the most painful piercing I ever got, i felt as though a nerve was hit in the process. My whole ear was extremely swollen and my neck and ear was in an abundance amount of pain. My ear was swollen to the point where the earing sunk into my ear. I text the company (because they didnt answer when I called) and told them my problem. The earing was stuck in my ear and I needed to get this one out because it was to small due to swelling.Keep in mind everyone takes swelling differently and they should have multiple different sizes due to different size ears. But they told me as well as other customers that give a negative review on them they used the correct size equipment. Obviously they didnt because if they did I wouldnt have had this problem.My ear started to swell approx 2 days prior to contacting the company. Due to them being closed July 3rd and 4th I was told to come in on the 5th at 12pm when they open. I was expected to keep the earing in for 2 days even though it was stuck in my ear and causing me an extreme amount of pain. It got to a point where I couldnt take it anymore and had to take it out.I contacted the company telling them my situation and I was told their is nothing they can do because I shouldnt have took the earing out. Realistically, who would keep a piercing that is sinking inside their ear and causing an extreme amount of pain in for 2 almost 3 days?!The person I contacted seemed unprofessional and honestly like they didnt even care about the situation and how its all my fault. Im not sure why they are voted #1 in the AV. Definitely taking my business elsewhere.Also I was reading the owner responces to other customers and they seemed so rude! Like they are always right, and what they did was right, and how they handled everything right. Very disappointed. They are #1 in the AV to mess up your body and will not fix it nor do anything to fix it. Yes their prices are good but is it worth it for a bad piercing???? I rather spend a few dollars more and get it done right the first time.For future customers I advize to go elsewhere. Had I looked at these reviews befor e I went, I wouldnt have came here. NEVER going back and everyone should do the same.
Great just got a piercing they did they shizzz ...lool friendly ...too
Great And Fast Service Very Clean Shop Definitely Recommend For Anyone Looking For a Tattoo Or Piercings
Great place to get supplies, always friendly and helpful. With out them I would have to wait 7 - 10 business days for one or 2 things.
Got my Monroe piercing redone & i hardly felt it ... So Awesome!!!!
Very shady employees. I had called before walking in and no one had answered, I walked in a little later and the girl didnt seem to know much about the piercing I was asking about. They didnt call me back (since I called and they didnt answer), but they did text saying they missed my call... and then texted again.. and again... Very unprofessional.
Awesome!!!
I wouldnt say it was horrible, just very unprofessional i went in yesterday the 3rd of oct talked to the artist and he seems very nice and his pricing is very reasonable however i set my appointment for 1 pm the next day and i paid my deposit to ENSURE i get my appointment at 1. I show up at 12:49 for my appointment and no one is there i wait till it hits 1 still no one there i waited 30 mins and still no one (keepin mind their hours online and on their door say mon-sat noon to 8pm)So after calling and texting waiting maybe 15 more mins finally get a text back saying they are open at 3 today even though every thing says noon the artist said he had no idea that the hours for today were changed to open up at 3 just for today and that he didnt think to call his clients about the time change. Im from out of town and set my appointment accordingly to my day and now Im leaving tomorrow disappointed cause getting a tattoo was one of the things i wanted to do went i was out here in cali.
Paid 60 extra bucks for 12 gauge needles got pierced in 14 gauge ....its a little upsetting but other than that the piercings are great. I have no complaint except for a customer service miscommunication I guess
Nice place. Piercer is quick.
I love Stephanie ❤ shes the best at what she does !! I recommend her to anyone!!
Very proffesional and quick
Nice place
Best prices on piercings and tattoos around!
Regardless of the bad review, I will still be going to the shop on the 5th of June to get tattoos. Sounds pretty legit to me.
I loved it very friendly helpful and painless!! Gonna be my go to spot!
