Chief Piercing

This place is beyond amazing. The atmosphere is great and Katrina made me feel extremely comfortable. the jewelry selection was also great. I recommend this place to everyone

I’m obsessed with this place! This is easily my new favorite piercing place in sac. I came here a few days ago to get my tongue pierced but was unsure if I should because I had a presentation coming up in one of my classes. Kat was totally honest and told me I should wait awhile just incase I had swelling. I decided I wanted to get my forward helix done instead and I love it! I can’t wait to come in to get more piercings and bring more of my friends in too! Also the shop is so cute and hipster I love the vibe so much!

Katrina was amazing! She was very friendly and patient over the phone as well as when I was getting the piercing. I would definately recommend this place for anyone in the area looking to get pierced. Keep up the great work Chief Piercing!!!

I got my septum done here, I was nervous because all I ever got pierced was my ears. I really had a great experience here, I’m really glad my friends chose this place for me to get my septum done. :) Katrina was so nice and patience with me. She even had lollipops which was a nice touch to the place. I love this place!!!

Went in for a tongue piercing today 1÷16÷16 and I couldn’t be happier, the piercer was very good told me everything she was doing and didn’t think any of my questions were dumb, great service and excellent prices, I would recommend this place to everyone! Only play I go.

I initially met katrina, the owner, at another shop she was working at a while ago and thought she was the absolute best! I recommended her previous place of employment to sooo many of my friends BECAUSE of her amazing customer service and patience. I visited katrina’s shop on a last minute trip with a few friends because of the amazing reviews and was so delighted to realize that our piercer was her and she had her own place now! The jewelry pieces are enough to inspire a visit or two to CHIEF but Katrina’s customer service and warm vibes have definitely made me a loyal customer. Keep up the goodwork!

I adore this shop. She has very good energy and super nice. So many different piercings! She always has new stuff coming in. I finally found a shop that has Tawapa! I can’t wait to start my collection.

I love this place! I came to Chief a few months ago to get my nose pierced and couldn’t have been more impressed. After, my roommates and I couldn’t stop talking about how good of an experience we had here.
This weekend I stopped back in to get my nose checked out and buy a new ring. Katrina was beyond helpful and kind. She switched out my rings for free, gave me advice on my piercings, and even gave me a small tutorial on how my different rings worked.
As long as I am in Sacramento I won’t go anywhere else for my piercings. I can’t recommend Chief Piercing enough!

Very welcoming atmosphere along with beautifully displayed, quality jewelry. Great care is given to every aspect of your experience, whether you are getting pierced or having a jewelry change. I am pleased t recommend Chief to my friends, because I know they are destined to have a superior interaction and subsequent results.

Took my 6 year old in to get her ears pierced yesterday! Katrina made her feel safe and at ease. Beautiful titanium jewelry and cheaper than the other highly reviewed places in town. Katrina was a true professional following all safety standards. I recommend this place to all ages!

Katrina is awesome! Very friendly and skillful. My girlfriend got a nose piercing and she took her time to make sure it was just right and she was happy. Great selection of jewelry at a good price too.

I cannot recommend coming to Chief Piercing enough!
I checked out a few piercing stores around Sacramento based on their Unilocal reviews and even some of the highly rated ones had pretty shitty customer service, if I’m being honest. If I’m going to spend money on something, I want to be sure that I 100% want it. I checked out some other shop around Sacramento and the guy didn’t seem very interested in helping me out when I said I was just browsing at the moment and I wanted to see their selection.
I was actually about to go back to ~store with shitty service~ to buy a piece, but I found Chief Piercing online. I recognized Katrina because she has pierced me a few times (before she opened up her own shop) and I really liked going to her because she’s excellent at what she does and is super friendly! I stopped by to check it out and fell in love with a piece from Tawapa. The jewelry they carry here really is something else in person – pictures don’t do them justice. I ended up buying it right there after Katrina helped pick a size – and I did NOT feel pressured at all into buying something (like some other stores).
Katrina was super patient while I was checking out other jewelry and helped answer tons of questions about some of her other pieces she had in the store. She even mentioned that I should really LOVE a piece before buying it, showing she really cares about the jewelry and she’s not just trying to make a sale – she also wants the customer to be happy about their purchase!
Even if you’re not trying to get a piercing, I would recommend stopping by if you happen to be around the area just to check out their jewelry selection. Katrina has fantastic taste! The jewelry there is of excellent quality! None of that cheap crap you’ll find online that’ll cause allergic reactions after a few days.
The shop is upstairs though, so it’s pretty easy to miss if you’re looking around. There is a sign on the curb though, pointing towards it. Check this place out! :)

Kat is awesome! Very friendly and welcoming. Great ambiance. Great jewelry selection. Highly recommended. Will definitely go back for more.Thanks.

Wow! This place is a gem (pardon my pun). Katrina (owner) is a lovely soul with such a kind disposition. CHIEF offers quality, gorgeous and very unique pieces. I went in not knowing what I wanted and Katrina gave me a full run down of neo metal and its benefits. I chose a simple small Swarovski crystal and I love it. I’ll be back (soon I hope) for more. So pleased to have found this place!

I found this place by destiny. This is a very cool/​clean spot for your piercings and jewelry. I would totally recommend this place to anyone. I just got my nose pierced and love it! Katrina is very professional and takes her time with each procedure as well as talks you through it and makes you feel comfortable. She also has you come in for a follow up to ensure proper healing.
The shop is beautiful and an art gallery itself; we enjoyed checking out all the custom furniture while we waited. I love this spot!

I just left here after getting my nipples pierced. I am more than satisfied with my piercings and the experience! The shop has the most calming and welcoming atmosphere and is squeaky clean! The jewelry is all hand picked and is so unique. Katrina, the owner and piercer has such a passion for what she does and puts her clients wants needs and safety first. I felt so comfortable and relaxed. And my piercings look beautiful. (I got Swarovski crystal bar bells) I highly recommend this place over any other shop (I went into about 5 different shops in the area and chickened out of all of them). You will not be disappointed!

I had my septum pierced here about one week ago. Although there are tons of places to get body piercings in the Sac area, I liked that Chief is strictly piercings unlike many tattoo/​piercing parlors. Katrina, whom has been piercing for 11yrs, was very friendly and thorough with explaining any procedure and after-​care details. As a licensed esthetician I am very observant about sanitation, but Katrina went above and beyond making me feel safe (washing hands, sterile needles, clean work space, changing gloves between steps, etc). The initial piercing was pretty painless, and under her recommendation, I went with a rose gold septum retainer to ensure my piercing doesn’t heal crooked.
Taking Katrina’s advice, I have been doing salt rinses in my nose twice a day. My septum is healing nicely and I’m anxious to return in 3 weeks to replace my septum retainer with a gold ring! Her jewelry collection is absolutely gorgeous! So even if you decide not to be pierced here, still stop in and treat yourself to a new quality-​crafted piece.

My husband and I were out in mid town killing time on a Sunday afternoon when I randomly said I was looking to get new gauges. Low and behold we had parked in front of chief piercing and decided to pop in and check it out. All the jewelry is hand selected by Katrina, high end pieces using gold or silver metals and quality jems and stones. Most gauges I see are too masculine for my taste and frame. These are delicate and feminine is every size.
I decided to finally get my conch’s pierced. Katrina took her time marking the placement and talked me through the whole process and with a slight pinch and the funky little pop is was done. Smooth and fairly painless. I now have little opals in my ears. I’m happy.

I came in on 9÷10÷15 to get my nipples pierced. I was warmly welcomed by Katrina. Her studio is beautiful, it’s easy to see that she has a lot of passion about what she does. None of the jewelry was purchased in bulk, everything hand selected, which is great because it shows off so much of her personality=)
I never felt rushed, she is very patient. She took the time to answer all of my questions and even made some wonderful recommendations. Katrina walked me through every step of the process and gave me insight on what I may experience. The breathing techniques were a huge help=)
I have extremely high standards, especially when it comes to body modification studios. I have all the faith in the world with Katrina and Chief Piercing and look forward to coming back for all of my piercing needs.
Go to Chief Piercing, you won’t be disappointed. And even if you decide not to get pierced your day will be much brighter for having gotten to speak with Katrina=)

I just got my nose pierced by Katrina & she is amazing! She immediately makes you feel at ease & is so quick & efficient to make it as painless as possible. Super thorough too… you can tell she takes pride in every single piercing. The selection of jewelry is phenomenal too! Everything is great quality, so she can pierce you with almost anything in the shop! And for those of us who don’t have stretched ears or any crazy piercings, she even has earrings for those of us who aren’t stretched anymore! I’ll definitely be back for another piercing or at least to snatch up some rad jewelry! LOVE CHIEF!!!
