I got a re-piercing here - I was in the area and thought...sure.
I cannot remember if it was josh or Ryan.....he was completely patient with my "pansy" moments - It was pre-Bahamas and I was insistent on having the one with the diamond detail vs. the boring steel - Since this would be the 2nd time i've gotten the same piercing he allowed me too with the promise i take extra good care of it. Super NICE, was spot on and sweet enough to explain every single step/precaution he was taking.
So I had 3 piercing done on my upper ear cartilage at a mall kiosk in January using a piercing gun. I loved how it looked but 2 months later my piercings were so infected and irritated, I took them out. Fast forward 6 months later, I decided to try it again, this time going to a professional shop. Â My friend and I went to EC Tattoo and Piercing 8:45 at night. Great that they are open so late. Â Inside it smelled like a hospital operating room which I found to be a huge plus. Â ERICA did my piercing and she was awesome. Very clear and concise about the process and aftercare. Â I must saying using a needle instead of a piercing gun hurt way worse... However after care and healing has been amazing. Â I had no idea that alcohol and antiseptics were bad for healing and that you're NOT supposed to twist them daily. Â Eric explained that its an old wives tale that the studs will fuse to your skin if you don't twist... All in all it has been a five star experience and I highly recommend Erica for your piercing.
Review Source:I went in today to get some piercings and being a nurse I'm extremely scared of needles, I even backed out before Erica was all set up. Erica made me so comfortable and at peace that I was able to get my piercings and I love it so much. She is the best and the place was clean and she even opened up everything in front of me showing me its brand new. Love this place. Gonna go back
Review Source:We were in the area on vacation and a friend wanted to get a tattoo. We stopped in without an appointment and were helped right away. It took us about an hour to get started, but that was because they had to help design what we wanted and get set up. Rob was funny and very personable. I highly recommend this place. If we lived in the area, we would definitely come more often!
Review Source:I came in here a couple days ago to get my clavicle pierced and I was extremely impressed with the results of it! I wish I remembered the name of the girl who did my piercing but we spent about 20 minutes to get the piercings to look symmetrical. She was patient with getting the piercings in the correct position and chatted with us the whole time about music. When she was piercing I barely even felt it it was a little pain and it was over. I definitely will come here again if I want another or recommend it to anyone.
Review Source:Today I had some work done by Josh (piercings) and I love them. He was so courteous and professional. Thank you so much. I would give E C Tattoo my business any day! Also Erica is awesome. She pierced my monroe and nose. This shop is uber clean and the jewelry selection is the best in San Diego!

This place is just the right choice for body mods in sd. Not to mention they provide the cheapest jewelry I've seen I'm Sd. I came here a a while ago to get dual anchors and one anchor was slightly out of sync with the other so I called Erica and she told me to come in to get it fixed. I came in and she took the offset deal out and put in another one right next to it for free and it was very quick easy. Not to mention she did my septum, and I came into thinking pain pain pain, but sure enough Erica was gentle and I didnt even know she had pierced my septum until she showed me the mirror.
Review Source:I brought my daughter in to get her piercing changed out.. was $6 bucks!!! Great deal! We walked in, handled business & were done in less than 10 minutes. But I stayed to check out the artists & get a quote for some work that I Â need done. Very clean place & professional talented artists. I would feel good about getting ink here.
Review Source:Had been pondering a new piece for years, and finally after searching around a bit, I found this shop, along with one of their tattoo artists, Isaac Aguila.
Let me start out by saying the shop is clean, well organized, with plenty of portfolios to look thru, as well as some tattoo flash work and photos on the wall. All in all, what you'd want our of a shop. The guys are friendly, helpful and answer questions, no matter how inane, professionally and courteously.
After contacting Isaac, I made arrangements for a consultation. We met, exchanged pleasantries and when over the ideas that I had. He jotted down some ideas and let me know he'd have something for me to look at in week or so. I had no idea what would await me when I returned. Not only did he have the original concept I envisioned prepared, but had a secondary, original piece that he was working on. Although I was more than pleased with the first, I opted for the original. We set up the appointment, and everything was set.
On the day of my appointment, everything was set up and ready. We went over the necessary paperwork, and got the line art stencil applied. Twice. I wasn't sure about the placement the first time, Isaac reapplied it without any hesitation to make sure it was where I wanted it, made sure I was comfortable before we started, and when over the color palette. I put on my headphones, relaxed and we got started. When it was all said and done, the piece came out amazing. The other artists had checked out the progress as we went along and commented on how good it looked. You've got to like a shop where the artists respect and appreciate each others' work. It was a great experience, and I'd recommend this shop to anyone looking for quality work and great artists.
So I woke up one morning from a dream in Heavy metal magazine format.. from what I rememebered I had nipple rings and they felt fucking fantastic. I had to get these pierced asap.
I called multiple piercing parlors to compare prices and as soon as I called EC tattoo &piercing, not only was I greeted with a warm welcome, but I was also greeted by an awesome student discount.
most places were charging $75 - $100 for both nips plus the jewelry
they charge $50 for both ta-tas, plus jewelry and $10 off with the student discount card. but I gave the $10 back for the awesome service.
Ericka was my piercer , the place looked real clean and it had that lovely sanitized hospital smell. She was professional, sweet, and walked me through the whole process. she was also very helpful when it came to aftercare.
I approve! get your shit pierced here dude !
DENNIS MILLER is by far the most talented artist you will ever find in the universe. What started out as just a touch up tattoo, turned into a beautiful back piece. He is super friendly, artistic, genuine, funny, and makes you feel really comfortable when you are nervous & scared sh**tless about getting tattooed. Can't wait to get inked up by him again. He is a true talent , and a stand up guy all around! He has my business indefinitely.
Review Source:my mother-in-law wanted a tattoo for her 50th bday. she has a very low tolerance for pain, and to be honest, i wasn't sure she'd even go through with it. we got to ec and the place was so clean. isaac, the artist who did her tattoo was super friendly, professional, and funny. he made her feel at ease and we had a blast. i would absolutely, positively refer friends here as well as stop in for some work of my own. thanks, guys!!!
Review Source:So i was sitting at dinner and said....I want to get some piercings. So i checked out my handy iPhone Yelp app. Saw that there were a few places near me. The closest was EC Tattoo and Body Piercing. I called a got a price for some ear piercings and they said they were open til 9pm.
Walked in the door and was greeted immediately! The place is clean and has all kinds of custom artwork. The girl showed me different options. I chose the 8 gauge horse shoes for my ears. She said $50 for everything. I said let's do it. She brought me back and it was quick and easy!
I am completely satisfied with everything about the experience! The entire thing took less than 13 mins! I will be back for some ink in the future!
