Juan or JR is one of the best I know.  To this date - I have 3 large tats done by him.  He is patient and creative!  My favorite part is sharing my thoughts and vision and allowing him to take it from there. As we talk...he will get to know you and that inspires him to add a little here and there to bring out what you want.Due to my great work - my wife has since gotten a tattoo...and he took her thoughts and created something she loves!!!

I love going here for my piercings,  is a very clean place and friendly.  I even got a tattoo there which am very picky about who can tattoo me. Juan the owner did mine I love the way it came out. I  love the rsults. Read Less

Came here to bring my friends to get their nose pierced.They have a koi pond in the front waiting area! How relaxing. Their prices seem really affordable (I shared a photo of one of the price lists, check it out in my photos). I can't remember that chicks name that did the piercings but she was hella cool. I wasn't getting anything but I still wanted to watch the nose piercings go down and she let me.She was very informational as I had a lot of questions watching her. The nose piercings (2 people, 2 piercings) went by super fast. It didn't take long at all. No blood either. I was surprised. My friends love their piercings! Read Less

Juan is AMAZING!!! I had a rib piece done by him and he made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. He took his time and allowed me to take as many breaks as I needed, which made me feel at ease. The tattoo was beautiful and just what I had envisioned. I had my sister's cartilage pierced and he did an excellent job with her as well. Wide range of jewelry on display as well, I was glad to find the flat back nose hoop I was looking for. I would definitely recommend Nunez tattoo for both tattoos and piercings! Read Less

Low quality piercing jobs and jewelry. I've had over 20 piercings and the only ones that have ever gotten infected have been done here. I'd recommend going to Industrial in Berkeley instead - save your money in the long run. Read Less

It is a rite of passage in our family to have our daughter's ears pierced at 1. It was my youngest daughters time and we wanted some place clean and professional. Joann was wonderful and so sweet with our princess. Thank you so much for making this a wonderful experience. Read Less

Been going to Nunez since I turned 18.... Which means I been a long time customer lol! Clean. Never had any issues getting holes or ink. Very Professional. I always work with Juan but I'm sure his staff is pretty knowledgeable as well. Call and make an appt. Oh yeah and even if it is on San Pablo ave, parking is pretty easy to deal with. Read Less

Will NEVER go back! At least for a piercing! Horrible experience! The guy who usually does my dermals moved to sac so I was told about Nunez and their forever going "piercing promo sale". I usually pay around $80 but at nunez it was $40. This seemed like I hit the jackpot at the time because I wanted 3 done: in the middle of my chest & two in my back. I must admit the girl who pierced me was hella koo but she did a horrible job on my dermals. She used a dermal punch ( which you're never suppose to use ) and the hole for my dermal ended up wayyy too big for da piercing! All three piercings FELL out by the time I drove home to Vallejo!! Yes FELL out! If you know anything about dermals.. They're suppose to sit snug close to your skin even when you first get them pierced! My hole was wayy visible and I could understand why the jewelry fell out. I called them back told them what happened and they gave me an attitude because they were about to close. They did wait for me though, but the guy lectured me saying not to touch them and I must have hit them because they're not suppose to fall out! I'm looking at the guy like he's crazy because I already had 3 properly done dermals prior to that and those experiences definitely didn't end up like this! To wrap up the story , all 3 ended up rejecting and one of the jewels even fell out of the anchor SMH! Note I haven't had ANY problems with my other 3. DO NOT GET PIERCED HERE! Read Less

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT get peircing at Nunez!!!!!!! I got an upper ear lobe peircing and regret it. First of all, the jewerly was not autoclaved. Secondly, the lady placed the earring on the same surface that I was sitting on. Thirdly she used a permanent marker to mark the location of the piercing, and I'm pretty sure she uses that marker on everyone. The only sterilization she did was spray disinfectant  on my ear than wipe it off with an unsterile paper towel. That's not even the worse part! She used a freaking GUN!!!!! Because she used a gun instead of a needle she accidently pierced part of my cartilage. A lobe piercing shouldnt hurt and this one hurts worse than my helix!   Bottom line: Pay extra for a professional that uses needles and is concerned about sterilization. She's an amatuer. Read Less

Juan is the BEST!! I live in Oregon and i ONLY go to Juan to do all of my work.  Juan is very professional and he always treats me like i am family.  He tells me when it will hurt a little and will always make sure that before he starts it is what i want.All the people in Juans shop are super professional!I highly reccomend Juan or any of the guys at Juans shop to do any work!THANKS JUANNNNN!!

Will not recommend this place for piercings!!!!ugh! so the positives first what little there were. it was cheap. like $25 for everything. And it didn't hurt.Now ok so standard lip piercing is a 16g..... NOT mine! The ring i have in now im not sure what it is but it's smaller than 16g and BIGGER yes bigger than what i was pierced with!!!! Took me an hour to get it in and that was a full 3 weeks after i got my lip pierced. And i took really good care of my lip. Friends were amazed at the lack of swelling and how well and fast it healed. And still 3 weeks later i had to FORCE this little ring through my lip! PAINFUL! and Now about 2 months later i still cant even force the 16g through =/ !The girl that pierced my lip didn't tell me what she used and well i guess shame on me for assuming it was a 16g needle! I had to ask about after care and healing time or i'm pretty sure she never would've opened her mouth. I was super excited at first cuz i'd been waiting a long time to get my lip  done and finally did it but once that excitement wore off I looked back and realized wow she was impersonal... then tried to put a new piercing in and thats when i was just really annoyed. NEVER AGAIN AT NUNEZ! Read Less

I'm reviewing their shop from a tattoo stand point because that's what i got done here.. So, I come to Nunez after a previous Tatoo shop I went to  (@Hilltop Mall) tells me my skin tone was "too dark" to get the tat I wanted.. I talk to a couple employee's explain the tat I wanted (a pink & purple sparrow w/music notes) & asked them if that color combo was possible.. after being assured that it was I think it over & come back a few weeks later to schedule an appointment..It was $20 as a deposit fee (& the fee to sketch the tat), & I give the guy who did my tat, Miguel,  2 picsof sparrows because both had certain aspects & features I wanted  the finished outcome to look like, & ask him if he can "blend" both the birds & add in music notes, in the shape of a heart coming out the birds beak.. He says he'll work on it & a couple days later i come back & he shows me a sketch of the bird.. It was absolutely perfect & he made the music notes EXACTLY  how I wanted, even though it was hard to explain @ first or give an example of what I wanted it to look like.. Anyways I get my tat done that day & it came out Amazing.. It was my first tat & I didn't really knw what to expect but he was friendly & chill the whole hour & a half it took to get done, which took some of my attention away from the pain, plus he was pretty cute so that kinda  helped, lol.. extra stars for answering all of my questions & giving great after CARE TIPS..Oh yeah & Extra, extra stars for when I totally f*d up my tat (its a long story..) I came back later & he was able to make it look good as the first day I got it.. So all in all, I'd say that this shop is totally bomb & i'll becoming back for the next tat Read Less

Went to Nunez to get a coverup of a silly tattoo I got when I was younger. Juan had put together a good looking tattoo. I didnt think the tat could be covered up, but he accomplish to cover the tat and did a fantasic job at that!!! Juan is the BOMB!!!! I would recommend him to anyone interested in getting a tattoo or coverup. Read Less
