The owner is amazing, gentle & very knowledgeable. She carries the BEST jewelry Ive come across. Ive literally worn a rose gold nose hoop from Chief for 3 years and its still good as new. The shop is tranquil too, which is so inviting. Email her already! :)

Super clean, super sweet piercers/front desk. I went right before lock down and it was the best experience ever at a piercing shop and Ive been to about 8 or 9 different places. Worth the more expensive price for quality jewelry

How have I not reviewed Chief Piercing before this?! I’ve been getting pierced by the team here since 2016. I got my second lobes and septum pierced here.The vibe of the place is completely chill from the moment you walk in and everyone is so welcoming and knowledgeable. They also have a good sense of the body in that they expertly guide you into relaxing before they pierce you. Also no piercing guns is a major plus.If it wasn’t obvious enough, this is a lifetime spot for me 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hands down the best place to get pierced! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Lots of great jewelry to choose from. Amazingly talented piercing artists. You definitely get your moneys worth when you go to Chief Piercing! Overall great experience and would highly recommend. *Also for those questioning whether or not to get your daith pierced for migraines, DO IT! I had a migraine when I went in for my piercing and as SOON as the needle pierced my ear, so much pressure was relieved and I went from a migraine to mild headache. As time progressed even my headache went away.

So professional and knowledgeable. The most painless piercing I ever got. I got a conch piercing by Mel. I will forever come here only. Huge selection on jewelry and they are very patient while you decide.

Theres no other option... If youre getting piercings this is where you should be.Update: Ive been going to CP to see the lovely Kat for 9 months, and today my mom finally got her nose pierced!!Ive had so many new sparkly additions to my body and Im pleased to report most were custom ordered jewelry pieces I will appreciate forever. Every experience is enjoyable from checking in, jewelry gazing, and even the actual piercing moments. I know Kat is going to help me pick the correct location for each new sparkle and be there for the healing process. I cant say enough about this kind shop in downtown Sacramento but if youre in the area .. pop in and see for yourself.Not an end to this journey just an end to this year. I cant wait to come back in 2017!

Loved it...the energy there is so soothing, and Doug greets you and makes you feel relaxed. It was my first time getting a body piercing besides ears, and Katrina is awesome: peaceful, patient, professional, calming, and kind. Not only do I recommend her, but I will be only going to her for all of my piercing needs!

Great atmosphere! Everyone is really positive and the place is chill and relaxed. The girl at the counter (I think her name was Sarah) and even the other piercer that was there were really attentive. I watched as they both worked together answering anyone’s questions that came in. Melody did my septum piercing. She was so sweet and caring, walked through everything she did/was going to do. I’m telling everyone about this shop!

Review №15

Katrina was so kind! She talks you through the process and is willing to answer all your questions.The wait time felt like nothing, but the waiting room itself was so nice!The actual room to get pierced was super sanitized but it didnt feel impersonal like you were in a doctors office like some other places are like. I liked that because it made it easier to relax so Katrina could do the piercing. She was professional and knowledgeable but also so sweet and I trust her to do any future work!

Review №16

I loved this place! I got a double nostril piercing and the people who work here are so kind and freaking cool! The lady who pierced my nose was so chill that she walked me through the process and the breathing and it only felt like a pinch. She was freaking sweet!

Review №17

Beautiful shop, amazing customer service, knowledgeable piercing professionals. For my birthday, I got a daith and helix piercing (I had originally wanted a industrial, but was told they could not/would not do that to my ear, as it would case issues. They gave me safer, new ideas instead that I loved.). Sufficed to say, five stars, two thumbs up. Will be using again in the future!

Review №18

Had a set of simple lobe piercings done here. A little pricey ($120 including tip) but so incredibly worth it. I was a walk in. Parking was easy. All staff were very professional, skilled, and knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable and safe. Jewelry options were extensive. Im already dying to get my nose pierced and even try my hand at becoming a piercer! Thanks Chief! This was a remarkably easy first piercing.

Great facility, in a convenient area of town. Every single member of this team is beyond helpful, and incredibly talented. Just completed my second visit to the shop, and it was a positive experience beginning to end.The expertise of the artists here is so impressive. Its easy to think that there isnt much depth to knowledge required, but thats only because most have little experience to the art. Being guided through the process by such qualified and skilled people makes the end result so much more appealing, and the healing process quick (and as painless as possible).If youre considering having ANY piercing done, visit Chief first!

I had an amazing experience here. I got my cartilage pierced and they did an amazing job walking me through the process and making sure it was just what I wanted. The facility was clean and pleasant to be in, and all the staff were super helpful and friendly. Any and all questions they were able to answer. A littlepricy, but with the price you get free follow ups and after care. Definitely recommend!

I dont think Ill ever go to another place for piercings or my body jewelry. The staff is kind, attentive, calming, and knowledgeable. My nose ring fell out and I decided to get a hoop instead and they fitted it for me and gave me a new back to my ring that popped out - all in 30 minutes! Grateful for this place.

Review №26

I havent gotten my ears pierced in 24 years, I hate pain and the thought of needles, but the staff here, has made this experiences so wonderful, that I would not mind getting more and more piercing here, yes it takes a while for them to acknowledge, prior to getting you check in, but that it all due to the fact, that it is so busy, that they could not get you. I appreciate the free after care and instruction they give you. The staff is very professional and kind! Plus proper sanitation is also a plus, since they wipe down all bed after each piercing.

Friendly, professional, and clean! I drove in from out of town to get a new piece of jewelry for an existing piercing and I was very pleased. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the shop is clean and has a pleasant atmosphere. I found just what I was looking for and I couldnt be happier. I will definitely be coming back.

Ive gotten 8 piercings from here so far. I got my first 4 (2 draith and 2 tragus, one on each side) here and they healed wonderfully. A month later I got my latest 4 (2 helix and a lobe on one side and 1 lobe on the other). Its been 2-3 months since then and Ive had zero issues and all 8 are doing well. I will come back here when I have time to finish!

Review №35

December 2019: super nice and welcoming staff but told me ALL the wrong aftercare steps. they recommended their soap bar and coconut oil for my piercings but i just learned (5 months later) from another piercer that a premixed saline spray is so much better. soap bars get bacteria and oils aren’t good for piercings. really upset at the aftercare that Chief Piercing told me. it resulted in me having to take out my piercingupdate:august 2020: i have to take out the second piercing now for the same reason. still very upset

The shop is very clean and the jewelry is displayed beautifully. They have a pretty wide variety of jewelry for reasonable prices. The owner is wonderful. She cares about her work and is very gentle with placing in the piercings. Its hard to find nice jewelry for piercings, this is definitely the place to go.

Amazing experience each and every time I go here, I refuse to go anywhere else for my piercings! Ive gotten four piercings here (Double lobes, Helix and septum) and one time to get my helix ring switched out. Each time Ive come in its very relaxed and you feel comfortable talking to whoever is there! Everyone working is so kind and will always reassure you. Good pricing too which is a plus! Cute and well decorated, while list staying clean and professional. I dont see myself going to a different shop anytime soon!

My first visit was last November and the most recent several days ago, and each time has been marked by excellent customer service and attention received. The environment is very clean and the atmosphere is very chill. Each staff member I’ve come in contact with has been extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I now have a double nostril piercing and I’m absolutely thrilled, will not go anywhere else for my piercings and after-care visits because for me they’ve set the standard.

Review №42

Wow... what can I say besides AMAZING! I went in and the front desk guy was friendly. The wait was a bit longer than expected but once I went back to get pierced, I realized why. The owner really spent her time explaining everything to me in detail and customized this piercing to me specifically. I am so in love with Chief Piercing. There is no point in getting piercings done anywhere else. This is quality work, and quality products. I am officially an endorser of Chief piercing.

I was referred here by my boss and words are hard to express (other than using profane expressions lol) how wonderful this place is and the piercers are amazing!! The establishment is warm and inviting and Katrina (i believe is correct spelling) is so supportive, caring and genuine! You can absolutely tell they love what the do, by the way they support your ideals on decorative body jewelry! I am fully confident and satisfied with the prices and jewelry! Chief piercing has my full support and I look forward to my other piercings as well!!

Review №45

Katrina is as good as people say. Her presence and her voice is incredibly friendly and calming. She took the time to show me each of the tools she was using and explained why for each of them and she preferred to avoid the tools when possible. She offered affordable and attractive jewelry options when the ring I brought in was causing trouble but she didnt pressure me to buy anything. Best of all when she got down to jewelry removal and insersion, she was gentle and steady. Stellar service!

Ive actually never come here for a piercing [yet] but Ive come to browse their jewelry and get a gift card for a friend and employees treat me like a human being. I always leave smiling and so stoked to come back again. Ill definitely edit my review the next time I come here for a piercing.

Review №48

Everything was great from presentation, customer service, selection and quality of jewelry, sanitation, even the piercing process was nearly painless and I attribute that to a qualified piercer (thanks Katrina) but the wait time was ridiculous. I waited for at least 2 hours and I went on a ordinary Sunday afternoon maybe around 3pm. Although my experience was all around great and I recommend Chief Piercing, they move very slowly and you may be there for a while. Just a warning.

By far the best studio I’ve been to for sure, after a few bad incidents I made sure I was very careful first place my piercing didn’t even a month, second place I went for a deal they had end up off centered, and this place they are more pricey but they have better jewelry selection looks like better quality also ! I finally have a healed beautiful piercing. Glad I decided to tag along with my friend if it wasn’t for her I probably wouldn’t have known about this place

The only bad reviews I have read about this place are people who have never had to be patient and wait for anything in their life. You know what takes less time? A a bad unclean job at your house or an unclean shop. The people here are incredibly kind and professional and the place is very clean. I definitely will come back and I will highly recommend it.

Review №67

Read the reviews here and it looked promising. I came in around 1:52 on a Wednesday and by the end of everything I was walking out at 2:40. I wanted to get a VCH piercing, and I was a little hesitant because it is an intimate piercing and if it gets messed up, it could be really bad. However, that was not the case, Damon explained what would happen and what he was doing so I wasnt wondering what was going on down there. I was hoping for a female piercer, but it didnt really matter in the end since Damon is experienced. All in all, it was short, only as painful as a piercing is, and it was decently priced! Im definitely recommending any of my friends who are looking for any new piercings.

Super late post, but I came here back in February to see for myself the friendliness and professionalism of the staff, the vibe of the place, and all the wonderful things I had read in the reviews.Chief Piercing is walk- in only on a first- come- first- serve basis, which is great if youre terrified and unsure about getting a certain piercing like I was.Once you are there, you can take a number to hold your place and walk around the old classy building, wait in some antique chairs, or go grab food around the corner and come back after the people ahead of you have been seen.The staff are all unique and friendly, patient and informative. I had a bazillion questions and they calmly answered all of them and eased my nerves. I had one impression on my piercing when I went in, and after speaking with the staff for a few minutes, had a better, corrected impression of what I really wanted and why.I decided to take my number and wait.My piercer was Daman. I was super pleased to get called back into one of the private rooms and watch him set up everything in a very sterile manner. He explained what each pierce of equipment was, different techniques used for piercing vs what techniques he uses and why, confirmed with me that I indeed wanted to still get my piercing... Since I was visibly trembling... Then began to reassure me and speak so calm and confidently, it actually made me feel way better. I did all my research for months before I decided to go get pierced, but even still, Daman was teaching me all kinds of things based off his knowledge and experience. That is someone who truly loves what he does.It takes someone to be comfortable with their skill as well as themselves in order to joke around and soothe an anxious customer, while in the act of, well.. Piercing them in a very private area.I couldnt imagine going anywhere else to get my nipples pierced. The aftercare instructions were great, the piercing itself, was painful but quick and professional.If I had to do it all over again, I would go back in a heartbeat. Any other future piercings I get will be at Chief Piercing.Thank you guys, keep up the awesome!
