Body Manipulations

I got a nose piercing earlier today and was pierced by Jess. She was so sweet and truly made me feel like I was in good hands! I want to change from a stud to a ring later on so Jess took her time making sure it was placed in the correct spot for when I'm going to change it! The place looked very clean and minimalistic and all of their tools were sterilized, I am so happy I chose this place!

Will never go anywhere else Alex was awesome and I love my new piercings. He took his time, was very good at explaining things and answered all my questions (even not directly related to the service I was going to get that day). I have to mention that these are my first needle piercings and I understand now why people prefer them over gun piercings; they are healing great and I can even sleep on my side! Only con I would mention is there is a girl (has green hair) who works the jewelry counter and checks in customers who I didn’t enjoy working with as much. She repeats herself when explaining things and sounds like she is being short.

Eldo was just perfect. I got a septum piercing today - It was quick, pain-free, and even enjoyable! Eldo was extremely experienced, professional, and thoughtful. He even went out of his way to recommend and look for a ring that ended up fitting me better AND less expensive (!). I am going to recommend Body Manipulations & Eldo to all my friends in the Bay Area. Thank you.

My first ear lobe piercings went so well with the help of Jasmine and Ayana. Ayana is so attentive, patient with exuberant energy. I was nervous about symmetry and she absolutely nailed it. The parlor is super clean, the service friendly and warm, I am thrilled and have no doubt others will have a great experience, especially if it’s your first time. Fast forward 5 days: The NeilMed spray and Donner’s soap they endorse/sell is amazing. My ear lobe piercings are healing healthily, no discomfort or worries. Ayana’s precision is that good 🙏🏼💛

If you're seeking a reputable establishment for body piercings, then look no further. We were looking for a high quality place to get our kids'ears pierced, and we couldn't be more satisfied. This place has been around for decades, and I can see why. It's very clean, everyone is super courteous, nice and knowledgeable... And experienced. Tessa is the gal who helped us and she couldn't have been more accommodating, especially with being patient and understanding when dealing with excited.. And then scared... Little girls. Highly recommended.

This place was incredible!! I came in for a walk-in septum piercing; I'd only ever had my lobes pierced and I am terrified of pain (seriously, I had a panic attack and almost fainted when trying to donate blood once). My friends and I waited for a little while and then they had Tyler pierce my nose. He was so professional and friendly! Naturally he wore gloves and the tools all seemed new and clean. My friends were watching and I was just trying to swallow my nerves. Tyler just calmly explained the process step by step as he did it, and he was so chill about it all that it really made me feel reassured too just by his sheer experience and confidence. His instructions helped a lot. I have small nostrils so honestly I was a bit worried about getting it done and being able to flip my retainer inside. But during the process he adjusted multiple times to make sure it was positioned just right. Here is the kicker, my piercing was 100% PAINLESS! I mean completely! Others have told me their septum piercings stung and they were in tears, but all I felt was the needle sliding through my skin--bit of a creepy sensation but my eyes didn't even water! I made a noise because I was scared and right afterward I said, in disbelief, "That was almost painless," but thinking about it later on, there was actually no pain at all! Tyler also told me there was no need to buy products for cleaning or anything--just soak in warm water twice a day to remove any "crusties" that come up. I couldn't believe that at first but I did was I was told! It's been just over a month since I had it done, and the healing process went remarkably smoothly! At first it looked crooked, but since healing up more it's straightened out and matches the natural asymmetry of my face/nostrils. No pain to this date (unless of course I accidentally bumped it, especially during the first three weeks or so) and I didn't even really experience any crusty stuff or notable swelling at the site. Sometimes I thought, "Did he use anesthetic or something?! Is there even a piercing?!" but it's legit guys! Full healing is supposed to take two months, so I won't change it until then, but honestly my retainer moves around and flips up so easily that I feel like it's pretty much done! Now I'm confident that my grandma won't see it and get mad at me at the family Christmas party :) I think the fact that it was painless was partly just luck and anatomy on my part, but I definitely wouldn't discount the skill and care taken on Tyler's part. I'm very grateful and so glad I went here! I highly recommend it!
