I have many piercings- and have experience piercing other people as well- but have waited over 25 years to get a meaningful tattoo. I have walked into countless tatt places and most all of them have been unwelcoming, conceited, and just plain "too cool" to even talk to me. I was finally ready with the perfect design idea and we called Zebra based on their great reviews. They fit us in right away same day and off we went. Upon entering we were greeted kindly and the whole atmosphere was awesome- smiling people, lively and happy, and HELPFUL kind staff. None of that holier-than-thou attitude. Nino, our tattoo artist, took the time to talk to us and look over the pic we brought in and discuss the meaning of the tatt. He quickly drew out a wonderful design and off we went. He was professional, easy-going and friendly, with great skills and personality and just quite lovely all around. He explained everything to us and when the tattoo was done, welcomed me to "the club" lol! I recommend Nino- and Zebra- highly. As for tatts- Im hooked.... Thanks Nino!

While their shop is appealing and they have ok customer service I was in this past weekend and got a tongue piercing (which was very painful), 4 days later I have the same unbearable pain, cant talk right or eat so I went to get a professional to take a look at it and as soon as I opened my mouth they told me that whoever did my piercing did it completely wrong 1) they use acrylic jewelry which should ever be used to pierce seeing as how its impossible to sterilize it 2) my piercing was beyond crooked 3) the size of tHe jewelry was way too small and digging into my tongue...I am just thankful Im not one of those ppl that ignores my better judgement and that I caught it before any type of infection took place...the place a went to for a second opinion offered to re pierce me once it heals but I refused I am truly traumatized!!! And this is coming from a person with over 10 tattoos and 6 piercings...I would not recommend getting a piercing from here at all!

I am so disappointed with my tattoo. I chose a cage with a bird coming out, but neither me or the artist realized that the bird would be better coming out in a different position than the picture because I chose the right side of my body to do it. Since the artist is used to deal with this I think he should have told me that. He should have asked me which direction I wanted the bird going. I felt like we have to decide quickly once we are there so I didnt realize the bird was coming out the wrong way. I just realized the mistake when I got home and looked at my tattoo in the mirror. Now I have a wrong tattoo in my body. Its not something that we can erase it and do it again, so I think the artists should be more careful and help people warning them about the best way for the tattoo to look better.

Everyone there is awesome! I went in first to get my monroe, went in a month later to get the bar shortened, and came back the next day and got my septum done! I passed out after getting it done, but everyone took very lovely care of me and were very warm and understanding. I didnt even feel emberassed. The whole place is very sterile and nicely decorated and all the workers are nice. I love that they are all pierced so I can ask them questions on their personal experiences with their own piercings. Chris did my monroe and a pretty woman with I want to say green hair, switched out my bar and pierced my septum!

Just moved to the area and had completely no idea where to go to get my nose pierced. Im very picky when it comes to piercings and tattoos. I read a few reviews on other places and finally decided to go to Zebra. Best decision hands down. Everyone was great, friendly, nice atmosphere. Very clean place. I was very nervous about the piercing but the lady who did it reassured me and she did an excellent job. I will now be going there for any future piercings and probably tattoos as well.

Went there today to get my eyebrow pierced. Im a 16 yr old dude and the process was quick and virtually painless. I forget who I had but he ran me through what he was going to do and he opened the needles right in front of me. One lady helped me understand how to properly clean and take care of it. The first thing that I realized when I walked in was that it smelled like disinfectant. The place is clean and sterile. My experience was good

Chris did an amazing job piercing my daughters ears, she is 4 and a drama llama. He did a great job trying to keep her calm and afterwards she was over the moon happy with her pretty earrings. The floor staff was awesome and very family friendly, they had a lolly pop stickers and a certificate all ready for her when she was done. The jewelry selection was great and they offer numbing cream which is great for littles.

I was greeted the moment I walked in, did not feel pressured to buy anything, and was in and out in half an hour. It was my first piercing and both the person up front and the piercer were super friendly and nice and overall just had a great vibe, which helped me relax. Look, I dont usually write reviews ok? Is this okay? Just wanted to make sure people knew this place was awesome.

Got a piece done yesterday by an artist named Nino. It was his first day there, but his artwork was phenomenal. We blasted out this big piece on my leg in just under 3 hours. He worked diligently and his artistic skills really showed throughout the entire tattoo. If I could post a picture I would. Im from Fresno and I can assure you I will be going back to zebra to see Nino again.

Aaron did an amazing job on my side tattoo! I was so impressed by the cleanliness and professionalism of everyone I interacted with! This was my first tattoo and he put up with my nervousness wonderfully and made me feel very comfortable with the entire process. I cant say enough good things about how it turned out! Will definitely be recommending this place!

I just got a tattoo done here by G... He managed to compose several images I gave him into a design that captured exactly what I wanted. He really listened to me and did a superb job in terms of clarity and precision...needless to say I am thrilled with the result. The price was reasonable for the quality of his work. Highest recommendations :)

Made an appointment for a friend to get a tattoo a couple days ago only to recieve a call 5 minutes before the appointment that the artist (Marcus) wouldnt perform the tattoo due to the location (upper butt). Would have been nice to know this before I made the appointment. Waste of time.

Love love love this location! I had a piece of jewelry from the Berkeley location, that was lost. I was able to visit WC, and find what I needed. The ladies were prompt, service was awesome. The space is great, and so are the employees! Ill be back!
