Zebra Tattoo & Body Piercing

So whenever I'm back in my hometown area.. I have to take a trip to Berkeley and visit the A. Hat store B. Psychic and C. Zebra.... for a new piercing.
I stay coming back to this place cause the staff is so knowledgeable and the piercers are the greatest at getting everything done with a minimum amount of pain. I love how adamant they are about after-care which is really important to suggest when dealing with so many different piercings. The shop is REALLY CLEAN, which is also something important.
Im not a big fan of piercing guns, and they don't use them.
I know when I went to get my nose pierced here, he re-dotted it for me 3 times before I was happy with the location, but he definitely made sure I was going to be happy with the final product. (wish I remember their name).

The only thing that I wasn't a big fan of, is the cost. But you get what you pay for, sometimes you just have to pay a little more to know you have a safe piercing that will last.
Any oh yeah, be prepared to wait. I've had to wait for 30 minutes before, this place gets busy.

The staff here is definitely friendly. I went in recently because my ear piercings were closing and I could'nt get any of my earrings through. So I decided to make a little stop at Zebra's. Ear piercings here are definitely not cheap. $17 per piercing meaning $34 for both sides. Yikes.

Anyways, they were able to use some tapered instrument and get earrings placed back in. Because it wasn't a real piercing, they refunded me $$$. $10/ear. AWESOME! It's still pricey but at least I know I can trust Zebra's being clean and sterile!

PS. I got a free soda! I didn't drink it, I just used it to numb my ears w/ the cold beforehand! Works like a charm!

I received a gracious note from the owner of Zebra. He was apologetic, spoke with the sales guy (me betting his reply was, "Not me?), shared my comments with the staff. Fair enough.  We've been customers in the past and look forward to shopping there again. Give my kid credit for giving "dick" a hall pass.

Now, reconsidering getting my "KAMA'AINA" tat. Thanks, Moe!
