Mission Tattoo & Piercing

I came here last night at about 7:30pm with my friend and they were getting ready to close so no one was there but they took me right away! Even though I was their last customer of the day they didn’t treat me like an annoyance anything. They were super nice. I was a walk-​in too! They gave me exactly what I asked for (a cartilage ring on one ear (which I have had other places not allow me to do. something about a ring healing slower or something, but it’s what I wanted!) and a rook on my other ear). The price was fair and my piercer Sasha was super nice and also really fast! I was a bit nervous about the pain but she was so efficient it really wasn’t too bad and I didn’t have any time to sit around and worry. She was also very friendly and had good bedside manner, and of course she did an amazing job piercing me, it looks amazing! I was extremely happy with my experience here and would definitely come back and recommend this place to anyone looking to get pierced in the city :)

Awesome! The front desk was very welcoming and professional. The artist Sam did such an amazing job on our tattoos. I would recommend him for anyone. His line work is ON POINT! I will definitely come back to get more work done. This is the best experience I’ve had with any of my tattoos.

Very professional. Thank you Javier. I look forward to referring him to friends and family.

Came back to riverside after living Arizona
Came across mike one of the artist at mission tattoo
And told him I was looking to have a half sleeve
And he drew it up with what I was looking for
And explained all the meanings and outlines and shades it all in one sitting, since there he has done all my ink when it comes to having ink done in riverside these guys get down, shout out to Mike, Elvis, Johnny Ray, Tino, Javier and the rest of the crew at mission tattoo. Love all you guy .
Loyal customer.

I have been coming here for a couple years now and continually recomend them to everyone I know. I only see Javier now for piercings; not only do I never have to worry about infections or the quality of the piercings, but he is great at helping me pick out jewelry and eternally forgiving when I have a piercing fall out (my own fault) or am unable to switch out the jewelry. He is also one of the sweetest and most genuine guys you will ever meet. I also have a couple tattoos from Elvis and could not be happier with them. I’ve followed his work for a while now and if I bring him an idea I trust his recommendations 100%. I would also trust any other person in that shop, tattoo artist or piercer, because if Elvis supports their work, I know it’s quality stuff. This is a family run shop with genuine people who support and love this community, and I could not recomend them enough.

Javie is the best piercer I’ve ever experienced. He’s laid back and legit to talk to. Does awesome work and has taken care of my piercings. Honestly the raddest man ever. Thank you Javie.

Even though I live in Corona I decided to drive all the way to riverside because the customer service over the phone was the best out of all the places i called. I was getting my septum pierced and had a lot of questions. Nick answered the phone and also did my piercing, and he was great! Very friendly and very patient with me. He had a very gentle hand, and it hardly hurt! Thank you Nick! Definitely recommend this place, and will definitely get all my future piercings here!!!

I just went in today for a nose piercing. I was extremely anxious and terrified, but the friendly atmosphere helped me a bit. The receptionist was so kind and reassured me everything would be okay. I believe Zeita was my artist and she was PHENOMENAL! She was so sweet and very caring. She did a fantastic job and I will be going back!

Wouldn’t go anywhere else for a piercing, Javie is the man. Highly recommended for dermals, he knows what he is doing and what he’s talking about. Brought a few of my friends to him and recommended him to the others. Years later and he helped me take off the diamond for an interview for free

This place was a really great place to go. I love the atmosphere and Jackie was such a sweetheart. I was getting my nipples pierced and she helped me relax a bit more. Javie was the one who did the piercings and he did amazing he made me feel safe and he told me pretty much the truth he was confident in his work so that made me feel good. All in all I had a good experience here and will definitely be back for more piercings.

I got my tragus pierced a month ago at this spot with my friend. The guy who pierced us knew what he was doing and made sure we were happy with the location of the piercing before he did it. My friend went first and was freaking out, lol, but I’m good with needles in my body so the process went very smoothly for me.
After the piercing, he made sure to tell us the aftercare and cleaning process. Now a month later, my piercing is kind of acting up, but he lets you text him so I texted him a picture and a description of my problem and he got back to me right away. He alleviated my concerns and told me further instructions of how to take care of it properly.
Now that I’ve gotten my tragus pierced here, and it didn’t hurt at all, I’m definitely going to be coming back to this place again to get more ear piercings. Pricing is reasonable too.

My friends and I came in to get different piercings done. I got my helix redone by Javie, my other friend got her belly button pierced, and my other friend got her double on her lobes done. He was very kind with all of us and knew what he was doing. With 10 years of experience you can expect to get the right sort of attention.

Mike Johnson and Elvis gave us exactly what we were looking for! Beautiful work, friendly, and accommodating!

I came in with my friend to get my tragus and her nipples pierced by javie! The initial entrance was very welcoming and professional. Javie instantly explained the whole process step-​by-​step for my friend, because she was very nervous. He used humor as well and professionalism to help her feel more comfortable, which helped. As well for me, I jokingly told him I might be the one to pass out when he pierces my tragus, he replied with, «if you do, we have markers» LOL
All in all, the process for me was quick and painless! My friend experienced slight pain, because of the piercing, but javie offered comfort and was up front with her. He offered us his business card with his personal number and told us that if we had any questions, to feel free to text him! I will happily return to get another piercing; I trust javie’s work! I’m looking to get my belly button pierced soon!

I love mission tattoo! a friend of mine recommended i go to Johnny Ray and he didn’t disappoint at all! He was really chill and is an amazing artist! I did my first big piece with him and he made me very comfortable.
I recommended mission tattoo to my coworker when he was telling me he wanted to get more work/​piercings done. He went to get his ears pierced by Nick and said he would go back to Mission ¹⁰⁄₁₀.
The girl that runs the front desk/​paperwork/​etc. is the sweetest! It’s always nice to see her when I go in. (I accidentally called her a receptionist once and I don’t think she liked it very much ._​. but she was still so adorable!)
I’m stoked to go back this weekend to meet with Jeff! I haven’t gotten any work from him yet, but I’ve seen some of his work and –along with everyone else at mission– they’re all super talented: D
whether you’re local or not, go to mission!

So I went to take my cousin to get his lip pierced. And we got attended by Nick. Now the experience was great. By after was amazing. After the pierceing I got a call from my girlfriend. Crying on the phone out loud. My daughter needed a blood transfusion. She is AB-​. Luckily nick calmed me down. Turns out he was a match and donated blood (God bless his soul.) after wards, while in a weak state, I offered a ride home. He refused saying that he was only helping out. While waiting for the bus. Nick managed to save a cat from getting hit from a speeding vehicle. Shit was so boss.
Added note he wouldn’t accept my tip the first time saying «Just doing my job»
What an American hero.
*UPDATE*
So We went back on Tuesday because my aunt wanted to get a piercing. After Nick pierced her, he gave us a free turkey. Fucking free. I told him he was welcomed to come spend thanksgiving with us. He Replied «I’d love to, but I’m gonna be helping out and giving out food for the veterans of this country.» It amazes me how much this man is so kind. Makes me believe in humanity.

Beautiful shop lobby, unfortunately that’s as far as I got.
$ 15 to swap my septum jewelry. Other shops do it for free. I was even going to purchase my new ring from there. Not worth $ 15 plus a tip plus the ring purchase.

I came here to get my nose pierced and I am really happy with it. The lady was nice and it looks really good, the reason I don’t give 5 stars is because the woman who pierced my nose didn’t tell me anything about how to clean it or when it should be healed, but she said she didn’t speak good English so I understand that. But I wish there was better communication about the piercing but over all I really liked it and the employees were friendly.

I found mission tattoo along with my boyfriend today at the Pomona tattoo expo. What first drew us to their booth was the amazing star wars paintings all along their walls. My bf is a total star wars nerd so we had to stop. Then we saw some of the work the 2 artists did and we were sold. They were completely professional and both of us got work done. They were sterile and organized and it was about as painless as you can make a tattoo. The whole staff made us feel comfortable and their receptionist was so entertaining while we waited. Awesome prices for great work. I will definitely be visiting them again!

Started Unilocaling just to give this place a good review. Javi is the absolute best. I’ve had 9 piercings (6 dermals, 2 nipples, and a navel) done by him that were perfect with very short healing time. Super professional and friendly to make the process as painless and comfortable as possible. Will definitely be coming back.
I’ve heard a few people say that it is a bit expensive, but I can assure you that it is MUCH less expensive and the service is MUCH better than other places.
Before discovering Mission Tattoo about a year ago, I went to the very-​well rated Body Electric Tattoo in Los Angeles and was pierced by the owner Brian. The wait was over two hours longand it set me back $ 160 for 3 piercings (2 nipples and a navel) with standard jewelry. The price was different from what he initially quoted me on too. Despite following all directions and using the proper cleansing products, all had to be removed because they didn’t fully heal and kept getting infected. You won’t get any of these issues with Javi. He’s amazing with his work, won’t keep you waiting, and is honest with his prices. You will heal beautifully if you follow his instructions.
The best place to get pierced ^_​_​_​_​_​^
