The staff was awesome as always. Danny and Mic juggled the onslaught of customers just as I arrived, giving each person their complete focus and attention in answering a variety of questions about the plethora of piercing/jewelry options on hand. Mic informed each of us that there was a bit of a wait and said we were free to either hangout or come back in about 15-30min if we wanted to grab a coffee or check out a neighboring shop. Mic did the piercings while Danny ran the front desk. Mic explained the procedures showing demonstrated sterile technique and asked about comfort and concerns before and during the actual stretching. When asked questions such as: "Do you have anything subtle? Im not looking for anything extreme", or "Which of these is better?" Danny expertly reframed customers statements by asking customers for their definition of subtle since what may be subtle to one person could be extreme for another. Danny also reviewed comprehensive aftercare and cleaning guidelines with customers in a comprehensive yet succinct manner. This was my third trip to the store and I left yet again a very happy customer. Oh and their jewelry selection is rockin, I had to hold back on going overboard.

A Monroe piercing wiggled its way from my upper lip a week ago. I ventured to a tattoo and piercing parlor known as Cold Steel on Height St. in San Francisco, CA. There, I was told the stud and ball jewelry would cost $35.00 plus an insert fee shall I like to have them exercise their "expertise" upon my being. I was about to gift such outrageous cost to this establishment until... Fortunately, the women shop-keepers were so rude as they held tightly to their egos that my spirit told me to leave. These haughty women who emit an air of arrogance over their clients simply for the fact that they are within a profession are not aware of just how much I am aware of the intricacies of the profession they poorly represent. It could have been a jewel from the Nile, and I would not oblige myself to support humans who are so vile. I remedied the situation by purchasing equivalent jewelry for $3.00 online, which I inserted myself. I am all for supporting outrageous, if the heart is kind. If not, no thank you. I choose to let sleeping dogs lie. <3

I have always wanted a nose piercing! As, a nurse I was concerned if it was going to hurt, did I say I am a big chicken also. Another concern was with the sterility of the procedure and quality of jewelry. Cold Steel America Piercing and Tattoo was amazing. I went with my Sis . She had gotten a tattoo there previously. I was just along for the ride , she said that she would get my piercing as an early birthday present. The staff was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. I was introduced to Becky! She was freaking amazing. The procedure didnt even hurt. Her technique was off the chart. The area was pristine and sterile. And I was even able to sit in while my sis got her nose pierced by Becky and I watched Weston give her a exquisite tattoo. I am even thinking about my first tattoo!!! I will definitely be returning! Thank you guys so much for a wonderful experience.

Very friendly staff in a beautiful cozy studio. They are very approachable and will work with you to get the perfect piercing. There is a large variety of high-quality jewellery and I highly recommend getting pierced here. Becky is charming and will make you feel right at home.

Lovely staff with lots of valuable information. They seem very informed when picking out jewelry or when I got my septum pierced. Also friendly. There are lots of options for jewelry and prices. Its even good with a touchy budget

Came in 5 mins before theyre closing (fall down from a bike half an hour before and lost ball from a ring in a nipple), and they help even with putting a ball into. Awesome!

Got a piercing here not that long ago. Very friendly staff. Super clean and professional. Jewelry was a bit on the pricy side, but everything else was great!
