I've gotten 6 of my 9 piercings (my 2nd lobes, 2 helix, nose, and conch) here over the past few years and have always had such a great experience! My lobes were done 4 years ago, both cartilage in the past two years, and nose and conch done today. After another shop was too busy to redo my nose (that had closed accidentally due to the gap in a hoop), I went straight here today. There were two other people ahead of me but they were very efficient without rushing!While I was waiting, I looked at the jewelry selection since I was on the fence about doing my conch and the front desk manager (I forget her name) convinced me that it would look great and I agree, so I decided to do it. Eric is great-- the piercings were damn near painless and he is super fast! He is also very thorough with aftercare instructions! The prices and cost of jewelry are very reasonable as well. Definitely will be back for future piercings! Read Less

I had my septum piercing done here a few years ago, and had a decent experience with their piercer. Nearly painless and he was sure to explain the procedures for caring for the wound afterwards thoroughly. My tattoo experience was horrible. Came in with two of my friends and the tattoo artist condescendingly talked down to us. We showed him what we wanted and he impatiently and rudely told us that it wasn't going to work because of size. Okay, that's fine. You can ask us to scale it up but his words more along the lines of "I'm not doing that. You'll thank me in 20 years. Uhh, can you make up your mind already? I know what's gonna look good when your skin is older, and I'm not doing any piece that's gonna look like a blob later." This is a permanent marking on our bodies so, yeah we're gonna take our sweet time choosing what we want. What a joke. Read Less

My daughter got her nose pierced today! I was so nervous for her but ERIC was incredible! So patient and thorough! I read a few reviews about Eric and I was so grateful he was there tonight. Another five stars for ERIC!!!!!! Read Less

I wanted to like this place bc Erik's attitude was so cool and laid back. But I went in to get my septum pierced and when he was putting the clamps on I could feel that something wasn't right on one side. So I told him it didn't feel right and he insisted that it was just the clamps. I took his word knowing he's supposed to be a professional and I honestly loved my piercing. But over the next couple days I noticed an intense pain on the right side (only the right side) that didn't feel right. I checked it out and it seemed to be pierced through cartilage on my right side. It was excruciating to move my nose or even breathe in and I went to another shop to get it checked out. The piercer at the shop said that it was done wrong and through cartilage. Which was what I expected. He told me that the healing process for septum should be nearly painless. So i was advised to remove the jewelry. I did so which was a whole other world of pain and when I went in to talk to Eric about it he would not admit his mess up at all and actually blamed me for taking the jewelry out. He would not do anything for me at all and said that I can just come in and pay to have it redone once it heals. Why the hell would I get pierced again by someone that screwed up and can't even admit his wrong doing let alone pay for it too. I didn't even get refunded or anything. Just blamed for it. I liked the energy and people here but honestly. That ruined it completely. I'll never go again Read Less

I've gotten three piercings and a jewelry change done here. Really friendly staff, really clean environment, pricing is very reasonable compared to other places. They offer $5 off if you get matching piercings done ( as in two lobes, etc ). I've gotten a rook and my third lobe piercings done here as well as a rook jewelry change by Big Eric and as always he never disappoints :^) Read Less

5/5 service and reasonable prices-1 star for long wait. The wait time can get up to 2 hours on weekends (especially in the afternoon).Awesome service! All the staff was super polite and friendly. I came in to get my tongue pierced ($35 + cost of jewelry for anyone wondering) and Big Eric made the process so easy! Any nervousness I had disappeared the second he started prepping me for the piercing, and he made sure to go over the aftercare with me. Everyone was very open to answering any questions I had as well. Read Less

My daughter and step-daughter had a terrible experience here today.  The front desk lady, Arlene, should not be working in customer service.  She was rude from the start.  My step-daughter, who is 14, came in to get her ears pierced and Arlene was so condescending.  She made my step-daughter feel terrible because she was trying to get her ears pierced and did not have a parent present.  We gave her a gift certificate for Christmas and were never told that a parent had to be present.  Arlene laughed at my daughters and made the whole process very difficult.  When they came back with a parent Arlene had a bad attitude and now demanded a birth certificate in a patronizing tone.  She then said that the girls' Mom was not their Mom and needed to see her ID.  The whole process took 3 1/2 hours.  At one point she raised her voice and said she did not have to do anything for us and "wasn't going to be nice." When some other customers came in she started talking about us and laughing in a very unprofessional way.  She should not be at the front desk interacting with customers.  Big Dave the piercer was awesome!  Thank goodness but at that point the girls were so upset it was hard to look on the bright side! Read Less

This place is amazing!!! Not only were the people super friendly but they got you in and out of there with no problems. The prices are good and they're very clean. I got 2 tragus piercing done there once and three days later one of my piercings game out because the bar was too small so I went back in and explained it to them and Eric got me in right away and put a bigger bar in this time and cleaned the area again for free! I'm definitely coming back for more piercings in the future!! Read Less

Walked in here spur of the moment to get my nipple pierced. I'd been wanting to do it and just said... fuck it! The person at the counter was sort of standoffish, not exactly rude but not exactly welcoming. The piercer himself was a little creepy. He made numerous sexual or suggestive jokes while my top was off. Including one about him getting to second base and when I said it hurt a little right when it happened but was over quickly he said "that's what all the ladies say!" I was very shocked by this and he even said it in front of two of my friends who were in the room with me. Thank god I didn't go in alone. The piercing was done well though so if you don't mind creeps or can get a different piercer I guess maybe go here, but I'll be taking my business elsewhere. Read Less

Pricing is very similar to any other place I've been too. I got two helix piercings done with Regina, she was very nice and it's a piercing, you're going to feel it regardless of anything. She marked the spots, and she was very willing to change the placement because they were too close together. Since my piercings tend to reject, she recommenced the bar first (instead of the hoop) and has been responded to all the messages I send her with updated through Instagram (not everyone would do that!!) Read Less

I got both a piercing and tattoo in 2013 and both were pretty bad.My experience consisted of the front desk worker (forgot her name, but big boned with black curly hair) trying to rush the tattoo artist Jordan so they could leave for lunch. She tried to play it off as a joke, but if i'm paying for a permanent picture on my skin, i expect a good quality tattoo. Turns out Jordan pressed too hard on my skin causing the ink to be raised. I went back for a refund but the front desk worker blamed me for "having skin that didn't react well to the ink, so it's not their fault."  Guy also kept talking about his ex and i saw a lil something in his pants rise as he was working on me. The lines were uneven and I had to get it redone somewhere else cause no way i was going back there for that. The cartilage piercing was improperly done and the employee (forgot her too) kept looking at me with disdain, so i don't know what her problem was, but she was unprofessional. I thought there wouldn't be any way they'd mess something that simple up, but they found a way to surprise me. Hopefully there are better staff members now. Read Less

Just had my nose pierced by Eric and it looks amazing. The piercing was $35 and the jewelry was $13. I was very very nervous for it, but it went very well. Eric explained everything before he was going to do it and that helped a lot. The pierce felt like a painful pinch but other than that it was okay. It felt hot for like 5-10 mins and it feels weird having something in your nose, but it looks great!! Really happy I went here for it. They also explained the aftercare for it and to go in at 2 months to see how it's healing for free. Highly recommend! Read Less

Regina did my smiley and I'm in love they made me feel so cute and they were so nice the front desk lady was so nice didn't get to catch her name :(, overall experience was a 10/10 recommend will be going back if I need anymore piercings (: Read Less

Did a piercing on both ear lobes. The lady pierced my ears manually, insisting that it is safer and cleaner than using a piercing gun. However, she lost track when piercing my left ear lobe and the repiercing hurt my ear lobe which ended up bleeding for a few days. I had my first piercings by a piercing gun before the holes closed and it was way faster and less painful than done by her hands, and I had never experienced any bleeding or pain or swelling. But now it's been four months since I was pierced at this shop and my ear lobes haven't recovered yet! Actually last week my left ear lobes got a fester and ran with pus. Both of my ears still get allergy and/or swells at times. I don't know when it can fully get recovered. Read Less

I loved my experience at Urban Body. I got a double helix piercing and it was almost painless. Big Eric was so kind and helpful. He was gentle with the ear and really comforting. Front desk was amazingly welcoming and friendly. I just walked in (no appointment) i had to wait 20-25 mins in line for the people in front of me to get pierced. It was easy and relatively quick. Read Less

I've had 4 piercings done here and just got my eyebrow done, they all heal nicely and never had a problem ; all done by Eric. Very professional and friendly. The receptionist is so nice and answers any questions you have. They have good prices for a great service. Highly recommend Read Less

I went in today for a nose piercing (my first piercing ever) and my piercer, Eric was very knowledgeable, professional, and kind. The dude took his time to make sure he had he piercing in the best spot possible. He told me exactly how I should take care of my piercing when I get home, and I felt confident in his instructions. Very genuine guy. I’d recommend this place to anyone! And if I get anything else, I’ll be sure to come here so OG Big Eric can help me out again Read Less

I walked in the place on wensday showed the guy what I wanted done asked for a price , good price so I said let's do it. He said l needed to make a appointment, so I did. He said I needed to make 40$ deposit, so I did.I drive 1 hour cause of holiday traffic I roll up 20 minutes early,  tattooist is a no show, theGirl behind the counter ask if I wanted to reschedule or refund, she gave me 40$ cash.Said it was best she could do. I walked.No phone call, no apology a total waste of my Time. I'm glad he flaked probably was hung over or drugged out. Read Less

Had a great experience at this shop picking out some new jewelry and getting my lobes stretched. The lady at the front was super friendly and answered all my questions. Big Eric brought me to the back and quickly, and near painlessly, got the job done. He's an amazing guy, and took a lot of time to answer my questions I had about other piercings I wanted. Read Less

I got my conch piercing done here by Eric a couple days ago, and it has been by far my easiest and least painful piercing. From walking in to getting my ear pierced, the process took 5 minutes. The room and all the tools were clean, and it didn't hurt any more than a pinch. It's been a couple days since I got my piercing, and it's not swollen and is only a little sore. I would definitely recommend getting piercings here instead of Death or Glory! Read Less

I came in for a piercing with some friends a few weeks ago. I've been here with friends before but that was my first time getting something done myself. The receptionist was really nice; she greeted us and answered all of the questions I had about getting a naval piercing. Eric did a great job. It was a quick and almost painless process. Compared to the other tattoo/piercing place in Davis, Urban Body is a little more affordable. The workers are professional and they made the overall process easy and smooth sailing. I'm glad I don't have to go out of Davis to get a piercing! Read Less

rude workers. they dont do friday the 13th specials and if u ask about it its a laugh in your face (which is unprofessional). the piercing part is fast which is good. Eric was the only worker who was nice which is the person who did the piercing. Read Less

I got my first tattoo and a majority of my ear piercings here. The shop is clean, the staff is professional, and the piercers and artist know what they're doing. I've been going here for a few years, so I've seen some staff change but I trust them! I suggest checking out the artist's stuff before going in for anything. Consultations are always great, but you'll see the actual outcomes with their work. Read Less

Hi guys . I decided to get my sexy on , and I stopped by Urban Body in Davis CA . Cynthia was a real gem . She explained so much about body piercing . I had my nose done and my friend had her belly button done . BIG ERIC was fabulous . No pain and all gain.see below . These people rock Read Less

All of the workers were very friendly and made all of my nerves subside with their humor. It was also a very sanitary shop and process; they were sure to sanitize the needles and change their gloves regularly. I would definitely go back for more piercings or tattoos. Read Less

I was worried about cost when going into this place based on it being located in Davis. But I pleasantly surprised that it was very affordable, and well managed. I got a septum piercing for 35$+ cost of jewelry. Very reasonable!!! I'm going back soon to get my Third Eye done and would recommend this place to anyone Read Less

The manager of the store is short tempered. I am a regular customer and am more than disappointed with this business; I have gotten over 15 piercings here and the tattoo artist working at 12:50 was passive aggressive. Disappointing to have someone with a managerial power so unprofessional. I will be contacting the owner by email and elaborating my negative experience here today. Over the past 10 years of me living in Davis, urban body is always my go to. Unfortunately this is now an overpriced, underrated shop, ran by a woman without patience. Read Less

I think place is 5/5 for piercings although my general experience here has been closer to a 4 or 4.5/5. I've been here three separate occasions for lobe, helix, and septum piercings. Getting the ear piercings were a breeze, everyone was helpful and kind and all my questions were answered. Their prices are pretty good as well. The only time I had a tough experience was a new piercer and I was getting my septum pierced. She misjudged the size of my septum and forced the smallest size jewelry which was painfully tight on top of the swelling from a new piercing. It was incredibly painful swapping out the jewelry as soon as she just put one in, and the second smallest size was also way too small. But at that point she asked me to try It out for two weeks and come back when the swelling was down before seeing if I needed to change the size of the jewelry again. It was definitely still way too small so I went back in two weeks later to learn that piercer was probably fired, and someone else helped me out but I had to pay for the new jewelry. HUGE bummer, but the fact that my past experiences here have been great plus how happy they are to help when I walk in needing help changing jewelry, I still have fond memories of this place. Moved to a new town now and still haven't found a shop that's as good as Urban Body. Read Less

Great service! Took care of getting my jewelry back in place after the hospital made me take my piercings out, and I only have one functional hand at the moment. Thanks again for the great friendly service in my time of need. Definitely have a new customer! Read Less

This review is long overdue. Got a piercing from them in November 2016 and a tattoo in January 2017 and have been a loyal customer ever since. I have been pierced by Chelsea, Eric and Regina....all are professional and have been great. Eric has even helped me with a few piercings I had done somewhere else. I have 7 tattoos..with another in progress...all done by Jason. I obviously am a fan of his work, but also his work ethic. He is professional, up front and honest...will give me his feedback when I'm asking about a design or placement. I totally trust him and his judgement. Definitely can't say that about alot of people these days!The shop has a great vibe, you're always greeted and acknowledged by either the manager or the front desk staff...favorite shop I've ever been to...no doubt! Read Less

Place was full when I got to the shop. BUT they still were very quick and friendly with getting me in for my nose piercing. Eric did my piercing and he was very sweet and answered all my questions. The piercing was quick and everything was super clean! The price was reasonable. If I get a another piercing I 100% will go back here. I felt very welcomed! Read Less

A few months ago I went to get my nose and daith pierced. My piercer was a woman with colorful hair, tattoos, and a lot of glitter (lol). She answered all the questions that I had, made sure I was comfortable, and got the piercings done quickly and safely. I've gone to other shops in Sacramento but haven't been nearly as satisfied as with this experience. Thanks Urban Body! See you soon. Read Less

I didn't want to have to write this review but I want to make sure others don't have the same experience in the future! I went to Urban Body 4 weeks ago to get my nose pierced. The woman at the desk was very nice and helped me in a quick and easy manner. It was the actual piercing and aftermath of it that brought me to write this review. While piercing my nose, the woman had messed up and actually blamed me for it. She told me that I had moved my head, and it was my fault that she had to re-pierce it. She spent a good two minutes trying to do it and get it all in and I was bleeding quite a lot at that point. Having been my first piercing on my face, I didn't really know what to expect or if there were any issues, other than the fact that SHE had messed up and tried to blame me. Fast forward 4 weeks to today, I had gone to Stylz in downtown Sacramento to switch from a stud to a hoop. As the woman was trying to help me out she found many issues with my piercing. 1. It was crooked, making it very difficult to replace the stud to the hoop. 2. It was too high, meaning I can't wear hoops that aren't continuous. 3. I had a clot of blood stuck in my nose!! The piercer had not had me stay there to check for clotting after the piercing. And this could have developed into something more serious if I had not come in when I did. Basically, the piercer messed up, tried to blame me, and did what was convenient to her at the end of the day and I really don't appreciate that! So just be aware of this before coming for any piercing. Two stars for quick and friendly service at the desk. Read Less

I've never had a bad experience here at Urban Body! I first heard about this place from a friend, so I had high expectations to begin with. Needless to say, my expectations were met! I got my forward helix done in 2012 and my septum done in 2015 and love them both.I recently tried to get a second forward helix done to compliment my original. It didn't work out but the staff was super understanding and patient with me while I tried to decide if I wanted to repierce it (which my piercer, Regina, offered to redo free of charge), and worked with me to figure out where I could place it. I ultimately decided to let it heal and stick with my single, and I got a full service refund.I will definately be returning if I can think of any other piercings I want! All of the staff have always been friendly with me, and patient with any questions or concerns I have. I refer all my friends here if they are thinking of a piercing. Read Less

I know a lot of people who love this shop and I've tried so hard to like this place, but my overall opinion is that it does not live up to SF (my hometown) piercing shop standards and I've been disappointed by them a few times. Let me explain...I've only been here for jewelry changes 3 times and I've only been satisfied once1. (2011) I had my tragus piercing in for a year and didn't take care of it, it had that ugly red bump on both sides. I mangled the CBR I was pierced with to an oval shape with pliers and they helped me get it out and put in a nice long labret with a ball top. Ugly, but not as ugly as my ear. I asked for titanium but they only had steel. Ok, fine. My ear eventually healed with seal salt soaks and I changed out that earring for a prettier titanium one is SF (Braindrops, highly recommend).2. (2012) I wanted to change my 2 year old helix barbell to a longer labret since I had a bump in the back from the barbell being too tight and wanted to be able to sleep on my side. They told me my hair would get caught in the labret (can't confirm either way) and talked me into a CBR after assuring me my hair brush wouldn't get caught in it. For a year, low and behold, every day and night my hair brush would get caught in it and yank my ear. I eventually retired the piercing, I never liked it anyways. *I told myself I wouldn't go back, ...but they have coupons and my pierce-happy friend raved about urban body and told me everything she had done was from here, how much loved them and their titanium jewelry. Ok fine, I'll reconsider...*3. (2017) My 6 year old tragus labret fell out so I went here out of desperation instead of waiting for the weekend to go to SF. I asked for a titanium post. They say they don't have any titanium, only stainless steel. Ok, whatever. The woman who changed my jewelry just dipped everything in alcohol for 1 sec (I'm used to others letting it soak for a bit, and as a microbiologist I'd feel more confident about the sterility if they let it sit a little longer) and asked me if I preferred a shorter bar and I said yeah. She grabbed a post out of the drawers, WITHOUT MEASURING IT to see if it would fit my fat ear and put it in. I immediately thought it was too short but hoped for the best. It was very snug and occasionally itched. Only 3 weeks later, my ear pushed the two pieces apart and my earring fell out. I looked in the mirror and the area where the top had been was very red, itchy, and irritated. As I thought, it was too short.I sighed and told myself I am never going here again... for real this time. Read Less

I got my first tattoo here with Jason, and it was a very good experience! It was a small tattoo and he gave me a decent price for it. Since it was on my ankle and lower leg, it was hard for me to deal with the pain on my foot, but Jason was patient and professional. Would definitely go back! Read Less

My friends and I had a horrible customer service experience here from one of the people working. We were unaware that taking pictures of the artwork wasn't allowed: there was not a sign or warning telling us this, and we didn't know because, well, we're a bunch of college students with no tattoo experiences. The tattoo artist (I'm not sure of his name) yelled at my friend for taking a picture of the art, and yelled at the rest of us as well (no one else had taken a picture). There were many other ways in which he could have politely asked us to delete the picture, but he was very condescending, not just then, but also when we inquired about tattoos. He said something along the lines of "I won't do it because you're gonna take your little selfies and then get over it". My friend and I went to get piercings, and we only stayed because we had already filled out the paperwork.The ONLY reason I gave Urban Body 2 stars is because the piercer was professional and nice, he got us both out for 2nd lobe piercings in no longer than 15 minutes.Won't be coming back due to the unprofessional service. Read Less

I just got a tattoo done by Jason this evening and it was a wonderful experience! I just walked in, told him my idea, and he drew up exactly what I had in mind. He was easy to work with. The tattoo didn't hurt that much (in terms of tattoos) and is like.... perfect. It's exactly what I wanted and more! He was super fun to talk to and extremely nice to me. I definitely recommend this place if you want a good tattoo. If I get another tattoo in Davis I'll be coming back!! Read Less

It's a good thing I have had fantastic experiences in the past at this shop both with tattoos and piercing or I would be leaving a 1 star review after last time I was in. Everyone at this shop is friendly and professional. Everyone except Jason. Jason is very rude and lacks social skills. He basically talked both of us out of ever getting a tattoo by him and we left disgusted. On the other hand, Chris is friendly, creative and extremely talented. Chelsea is an expert piercer and my whole family and several of my friends have had work done by her. So if you want an excellent tattoo experience, see Chris. If you want an excellent piercing experience, see Chelsea. If you want to be treated like crap, see Jason. Read Less

Chelsea is one of my favorite people! I have a fair number of piercings, but I'm still the type of person who gets more and more nervous the longer I have to spend lying on a table waiting for the piercing to happen. Chelsea's very friendly, but also quick and no-nonsense about the piercing process. She explains everything you need to know in detail, and makes sure you know what she's doing while she's doing it. Out of all the piercers I've been to, she makes me feel the most comfortable. I've only gotten a daith and a few lobe piercings done here, but I'm very happy with all of them! Read Less

I wish there was a way to review people instead of the overall experience of a shop. Every time I have been in this shop I have been met with friendly people and service. I have had several piercings done here by the owner and Chelsea. Also Chelsea is great with kids. She totally pro and so friendly and fast. The shop is clean and has good hours and a great jewelry selection. The artist Chris' work is EXCELLENT. The receptionist is very helpful. Recently my friend and I went in to see the walk in artist Jason for some simple script. He could not have been more rude. He was loud, aggressive, condescending and just a total jerk. He had no interest in working that day or working with a customer to get creative and figure out a great tattoo. It was unbelievable and we walked out without getting anything. I would never let a person with that type of energy or attitude do any permanent work on my body and I'm pretty shocked he even works there given the caliber of the rest of the staff. Read Less

I went and got my belly button pierced yesterday and it was such a great experience. Eric was super helpful and made me feel really comfortable, it came out really straight and just perfect! I couldn't be happier with it! I will DEFINITELY be returning for all my future piercings. Read Less

I went to this place to get a tattoo today and I had the worst experience ever! The lady at the front desk was very nice to me though. The guy who was drawing my tattoo was literally trying to rush me into the chair and giving me really terrible drawings that were nothing like what I wanted. I feel like they should be willing to help you find what you are looking for rather than throwing something you hate at you. It ended with a long lecture about how I didn't know what I wanted when I really didnt want anything he drew for me. I would stay far far away from this place if I were you.. Read Less

I've had great experiences getting pierced but I bought a septum clicker for 30 dollars from here. It was gold when I bought it and now its a silver color with bronze spots. It turned my nose green and irritated it. I could have bought the same one from amazon for 6 dollars... Read Less

I was recommended to Jason at Urban Body and he did an amazing job on my cover up tattoos. All of the artists were super nice. It was definitely worth the almost hour drive! I will be going back no doubt! Read Less

Chelsea was my piercer and she was amazing!! i got my helix pierced by her and she put the piercing in the exact spot that i wanted and was so professional and helpful the entire time. plus the facilities were very clean and my piercing has been healing very well so far. the person in the front that was checking ppl in and ringing people up was kind of rude but the piercer was super super nice. i will definitely be coming back for my next piercing Read Less

Got a double helix done here and it got infected a week later. Before getting it done I specifically mentioned I have sensitive ears so I would need the jewelry that my ear would be okay with. A week later it clearly looked infected so knowing I would need medication I went to my doctor who strongly advised getting them out so that's what I did. I went back to urban body to talk about the situation and the first thing the piercer said was "why did you go to the doctor?"  Like what?? Clearly I had an infection and needed medication! Ear infections are very serious so I wasn't going to wait around for it to get worse. Her tone was very condescending as she insinuated I was to blame. Obviously my first instinct was to see a doctor and not her because she could not give me a medical diagnosis nor medication, it's common sense. This is not my first piercing and I know how to take care of them and knew how it looked was not okay. They only offered to re-pierce it with the same jewelry and I would have to pay again. There's no way I would waste more money to do that again with them. I do not trust this place and would not recommend it to anyone. Read Less

I've been to urban body two times: the first time was for a tragus piercing and the second time for a forward helix piercing. Both of my piercings were done by different people, but I had a great experience with both of them. Everything was a smooth process, which helps so much when you're a bit anxious about piercing pains lolI love how the person at the front was honest with me about whether I could have an industrial or not. I appreciate that she considered my ear anatomy and what would have worked and not worked for me. I will definitely come back again for a new piercing if I have another one in mind :) Read Less

Lemme preface this by saying 20 mins earlier I walked into Death or Glory for a consultation for a future tattoo and had an amazing experience but wouldn't be able to do the tattoo till April, so I thought maybe to go to Urban Body to see what they can come up with. I walked in for a second, sort of nervous, explained to the guy what I wanted, exactly how I explained it at Death or Glory and the guy, who was extremely uninterested, with an "f" off attitude, told me my idea wouldn't work well as a tattoo.... without letting me explain what I wanted. The guys as Death or Glory took my idea, and found a way to make it into a tattoo. Never walking into Urban Body again, and would not recommend anyone looking for their first tattoo to do so. Read Less

I finally decided to get another lobe piercing on my left ear and my sis told me this place was good. I headed over Saturday evening and there were a couple of people ahead of my sis and I. Looking around it's a small joint but clean and well kept. The lady at the front gave us our forms to sign our lives away and then we chose our jewelry and waited. And waited. Which was fine there were three peeps in front of us. Even though Eric, the piercer, was busy, he took his time with each client and didn't rush. When it was finally our turn, we headed off to one of the back room. Eric was funny and put us at ease. He took his time to clean and place the marks on our ears. A deep breath later... boom. Ear pierced. Jewelry placed. Instructions given and  were were on our way. I'll be heading back here when I get the urge to get my next piercing. Yay. Read Less

Very welcoming staff - I felt very comfortable going in there twice, once for my friend and once for my second ear piercing. Chelsea talked me through the quick process and even encouraged me to come back if I had any concerns with aftercare. She was also very patient as I debated over the positioning of the piercing. It'd be nice if they would allow us to bring in our own earring (with a signed agreement so no one sues them) because I didn't want to spend an extra $16-18 when I already had my own. The smallest and cheapest stud that I chose ended up going through my earlobe multiple times so I had to switch it out less than a week later, which is not the recommended time especially because it wasn't healed yet. After switching, it healed within two weeks and doesn't hurt anymore. I would definitely come again because the price (less than $40) is still reasonable and everyone there is incredibly nice.

I went here yesterday with a few of my friends to get our cartilage/helix pierced. Parking was pretty easy, street parking right out front. We all payed various prices but overall the price for cartilage is 25 and then it depends what jewelry you choose; should come out anywhere from 35-45 (which is still really great). Eric pierced all three of us and made us all super comfortable, excited, and confident about our piercings both before and after the piercing process! Thank you urban body, for the laughs and piercings of course :) Read Less

We had a wonderful experience at Urban. My best friend and I went to get our ears pierced. In the past we both have had issues with our ears pierced. Big Eric was great. I barely felt the needle and have not had any pain these past 10 days. He also had so much info for us; for the care while the piercings healed and for the future after that. I would recommend Urban if you want a piercing without issues. Read Less

I've gotten piercings here as well as gone with friends to get piercings and have had nothing but great experiences. The piercer is awesome; she is quick, creates a comfortable and fun environment, and has fair prices. I don't know anything about their tattoos but 5/5 stars for their piercing services. Read Less

This review is a looong time coming, because Urban Body has been fantastic to me for months now. I've never been tattooed here, but I stand by their piercing services; they are fantastic and reasonably priced. They only take walk-ins for piercings but I've never waited more than 10 minutes to be seen. I want to especially shout out to Chelsea, because she is a fantastic piercer and a very sweet person. She has been responsible for piercing, re-sizing, and generally taking care of my philtrum and cheek piercings and I am so grateful for all of her help! I would highly recommend being pierced by her.

Got a tattoo here a few months ago with my brother. It was our first one and I researched the best shops in the Sacramento area and finally settled on one in Auburn until I saw some woman with some amazing art on her arm and had to ask where she got it. She told me about Chris and that he worked from Davis so I looked him up and got in contact with him. He charges enough to let me know he's not messing around and he went to school for his craft so I scheduled with him.I have never had a tattoo before so I am really unfamiliar with the process, but I do graphic design so I understand working with clients and their nebulous ideas. When we arrived for our appointment I had sent some ideas to him and he came out with some ideas, none of which were what we had expected. So he went back and came out again, still not what we wanted. This happened a few more times.We were getting a little impatient and losing confidence. My brother was trying to explain what he wanted and Chris was patiently explaining that that what he 'wanted' wasn't exactly what was best. We did a quick pivot and he came back and it was better than anything we had in mind. An hour later we were done.I absolutely love my tattoo. Chris is immensely professional, dedicated, but most important he's gifted. I'm sure I was not easy to work with but he came through in a big way. I definitely would and plan to use him again.

I was wandering thru Davis today and thought that it would be fun to do something impulsive. I entrusted Yelp for my impromptu search and up came Urban Body.  I looked thru a couple of reviews and into the shop I go! No regrets, no regrets!!!! Deep breaths, Deep breaths!!!! I was going to get a Monroe and a helix piercing but went the safe route with just a helix because I didn't know much about this place. I also wanted to balance my ears out (now I have a helix on both ears) and have something to compliment my Tragus. Everyone in the shop was super informative, knowledgable, friendly, and most importantly welcoming. All my questions about tattoos and piercings were answered and I had fun talking to everyone in the shop. Lots of laughs and jokes were being thrown around. My piercing was relatively painful XD ( thought it would hurt less if I tipped!!! LOL) Overall, I had a great experience here and would definitely recommend Urban Body for your piercing and tattoo needs. I will definitely be back... Maybe even tomorrow for a impromptu tattoo?Update on my piercing: it couldn't heal properly because the stud they gave me had a small ball backing. The piercing got pulled thru to the middle of my cartilage a couple of times which led to it being more and more irritated....I took it out and let it heal....Still in love with my tattoo tho.

Just came in to change the post of my helix piercing. I've been meaning to change it for a while but kept putting it off. Walked by Urban and thought, eh why not now. The lady in the front was very nice.   She took a look at my piercing and helped me decide which length I should get as well as changed my flat backing to a ball.  Apparently an edge of the flat backing I had was  pushing against my ear and that's what was making it uncomfortable for me to lay on that side. I also asked to see the tragus piercing jewelry selection they had. Not the greatest, just the normal stud fronts. I've been into other shops where the jewelry looks a little questionable but not this place. All the jewelry that I looked at in the shop seems to look of good quality though!  If you have sensitive ears(like me), this place seems to have safe jewelry for you! Haven't gotten a piercing here or tattoo so can't say much on that :( maybe next time.  If I were to get pierced or get a tattoo in Davis I would definitely look into this shop. Read Less

I love this shop! First off, the prices are amazing! I've been to other shops that charge $45-$55 for a lip piercing. At urban body, it's just $30 plus the cost of the ring. People think a shop's atmosphere or customer service doesn't mean much to your ultimate opinion of the place. But it does. And urban body proves this myth wrong! Thank you urban body for making me feel so comfortable when I was ready to change my mind! You're the best shop I have been to! Read Less

I got my nose pierced here a little over a month ago. Chelsea was wonderful! She talked me through the entire process, was very quick, and made me feel very at ease. She was also very patient with all my questions. She went over aftercare with me thoroughly, and I'm so happy with the finished product! Definitely will return, friendly and professional, great shop!

My daughter has been to Urban Body for two piercings. The service has been kind, considerate, informative and a great source of information for caring for her piercings. I was welcome to watch at my daughter's request, and being an RN, I was hyper-aware of cleanleness and technique. I must say, I was impressed. And my daughter is healing - healed beautifully. I'd recomend Urban Body. In fact I am considering a tattoo, we all have a bit of wild side!Linda Read Less

Never go to Urban Body. I just got home from getting my first piercing (nostril) there, and I will never go back. The guy who did my piercing was rude, inconsiderate, rushed, and smelled like tobacco when he breathed in my face. I have never dealt with somebody ruder, and the fact that he was in a position to stick people with needles who were most likely a bit nervous is astounding to me. I will never recommend this shop to anybody. Read Less
