Sub Q Body Piercing

I am so happy I found this place again! I heard they closed down but they just relocated. I wanted to get a piercing for the longest but was debating where to get it done so I started searching for places & came across a recent Yelp review. When I found the new address I knew it was destined. Scott the owner was very informative about the process & I could tell he knew what he was doing. He was quick & talked me through each step. Needless to say it was an awesome experience & I love my added jewels. Best piercing spot hands down in Sacramento!

I went here to get my nipples pierced, and, as you can imagine.. I was pretty damn nervous. Like, freaking-out-nervous-laughter-and-smiling-for-no-­reason nervous. Scott was so professional and did an excellent job of making me feel comfortable with the situation. He reminds me of the Dude from the Big Lebowski.. so chill and laid back.

He was very informed on the proccess and educated me beforehand on what to expect with my new piercings. The actual piercing was close to painless, and he walked me through everything he was doing so there would be no surprises ("a little pinch here, now some pressure..") which was VERY helpful, and inevitably kept me from flinching. Before I knew it, they were done! I must have stood in front of the mirror for 5 minutes checking them out. They look SO AWESOME and I could not be more happy with both the placement and the jewelry he used.

I had read online that nipple piercings are very painful during the healing process, but it's been 5 days and I haven't had any pain or inflammation, except maybe a slight sting right after cleaning them (which I presume is from fiddling around with them). Every piercing at Sub Q comes with an aftercare brochure with detailed cleaning instructions, which has been very helpful.

In short, it was a great experience. I even got a $10 discount, because it was Valentine's day (I mean Thursday) and it must have been obvious that I was a little down in the dumps. I took a friend with me, and as soon as we left we were already contemplating our next piercings to get done by Scott at Sub Q. The man knows what he is doing, and I wouldn't go anywhere else!!

On a whim, I decided it was finally time to get the girls some jewels. I remember sub q from when I was a crazy k street mall teen and he was the first person I called. He was actually the only I called. Scot was unbelievably pleasant over the phone and made sure that I had any and all the info I needed. Originally I called just for pricing but $100 for both seems to be the standard. I told him I was shopping a bit and he showed concern for wanting to be "cheap" and gave me a handful of questions to ask any other shop I call. That was what made me decide to go here. He is extremely knowledgable and friendly and he was awaiting my arrival after we had spoken a few times.

Shop was extremely clean and well organized and the experience was not awkward at all. We joked and laughed a bit and it was time for business. I admit I was a bit nervous but the procedure was so fast! I barely had time to realize how bad it hurt. Which, it really did. It's a dang needle going into my nipple. But he did both so quickly and explained what he was doing as he was. Didn't make me feel vulnerable at all and provided great after care advice!

One thing to note is this address listed is incorrect. He's now at 905 23rd street in midtown suite #2.

All in all. I am SO happy with my new piercings (so is my hubby) and if I have any more piercings I want, he will be the first person I call.

Thank you Scot!! You are not the asshole everyone made you out to be :)
