Cold Steet America

I recommend this shop. Becky gave me an apadravya piercing and she was professional, clean, and safe. Yes it hurt but it is worth the pain.

Becky is a rock star! I ve been pierced here a few times and she is the best. Becky has amazing bedside manner and communicates everything she s doing. The shop is part of the APP which is a professional group for piercers. They are clearly passionate about what they do!

Great atmosphere. Great selection of body jewelery, no egos everybody is very friendly. Very knowledgeable. Have been coming here for tattoos and piercings for a couple years now.

Mic was fantastic & so professional. Very happy with my experience. Beautiful jewelry with reasonable prices

The staff was awesome as always. Danny and Mic juggled the onslaught of customers just as I arrived, giving each person their complete focus and attention in answering a variety of questions about the plethora of piercing/jewelry options on hand. Mic informed each of us that there was a bit of a wait and said we were free to either hangout or come back in about 15-30min if we wanted to grab a coffee or check out a neighboring shop. Mic did the piercings while Danny ran the front desk. Mic explained the procedures showing demonstrated sterile technique and asked about comfort and concerns before and during the actual stretching. When asked questions such as: "Do you have anything subtle? I'm not looking for anything extreme", or "Which of these is better?" Danny expertly reframed customers' statements by asking customers for their definition of subtle since what may be subtle to one person could be extreme for another. Danny also reviewed comprehensive aftercare and cleaning guidelines with customers in a comprehensive yet succinct manner. This was my third trip to the store and I left yet again a very happy customer.

Oh and their jewelry selection is rockin', I had to hold back on going overboard.

I ve gotten a few piercings here over the last couple years, including my nostril piercing, and I love this place. The staff are very experienced and kind and the place is clean and pleasant inside. Definitely will be returning!

Great selection of body jewelry and extremely kind and helpful staff.

Awesome, personable staff! Really know their craft. Clean, clean, clean! I cannot stress enough how safe, up-to-date and nice these people are! I was helped to pick out a new setting for my piercing - everything pre sterilized, staff super helpful!

Great place with a knowledgable and friendly staff!

Cold Steel America, the staff were very professional and knowledgeable. This place was spotless, just what you'd hope for.

Fantastic artists and a clean shop. Everyone was very helpful and welcoming. Rian did my first tattoo and it was very easy! I recommend him, he was very patient and did amazing work. Thanks y'all!!

Great work I'm in love with my tattoo and I'll post a pic when it's all healed

Very friendly staff in a beautiful cozy studio. They are very approachable and will work with you to get the perfect piercing. There is a large variety of high-quality jewellery and I highly recommend getting pierced here. Becky is charming and will make you feel right at home.

Becky is fantastic, she's nice and knowledgeable. Got antibrow surface piercing the day after Thanksgiving, and just got my snakebite piercing today. Couldn't be happier!

Great piercing artist. He was so patient and made the entire experience great. They also have a wide selection of unique jewelry.

The staff is very friendly n they go out all there way 2 make u feel comfortable n relaxed. I Would Highly recommend Cold Steel. 2 my neighbors n friends...Love it

Got my tragus re-pierced by Becky Dill! She's attentive, friendly, and honest! She took her time with the placement and aftercare instructions for my piercing and even gave me a sticker! The hospitality and expertise from Cold Steel can't be beat. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

They gave me great advice about when I d be able to change my jewelry out for my daith (inner ear) piercing. Christopher encouraged me to wait until it had more time to heal before buying a new ring for it. I appreciated that they prioritized my health over making a sale.

Very professional and made me very comfortable while getting a piercing in a weird spot of my body

Kevin hella Kool! He's werked on most of my ink and tbh wouldn't trust no other artist.

Professional place on an enchanted street with a delightful and varied history.

Got a septum piercing he sneezed and pierced the other side of my nose em soooo just want to say , appalled period

Got a piercing here not that long ago. Very friendly staff. Super clean and professional. Jewelry was a bit on the pricy side, but everything else was great!

Clean, professional, & high quality jewelry. The only place I trust for piercings/changing out my jewelry. Thank you!!!!

A Monroe piercing wiggled its way from my upper lip a week ago.

I ventured to a tattoo and piercing parlor known as Cold Steel on Height St. in San Francisco, CA.

There, I was told the stud and ball jewelry would cost $35.00 plus an insert fee shall I like to have them exercise their "expertise" upon my being.

I was about to gift such outrageous cost to this establishment until...
Fortunately, the women shop-keepers were so rude as they held tightly to their egos that my spirit told me to leave.

These haughty women who emit an air of arrogance over their clients simply for the fact that they are within a profession are not aware of just how much I am aware of the intricacies of the profession they poorly represent.

It could have been a jewel from the Nile, and I would not oblige myself to support humans who are so vile.

I remedied the situation by purchasing equivalent jewelry for $3.00 online, which I inserted myself.

I am all for supporting outrageous, if the heart is kind.

If not, no thank you. I choose to let sleeping dogs lie.

They were professional and explained what they were doing every step of the way.. my daughter and I both got piercings and we felt that it was done well and cleanly

Great Experience staff was incredible and very knowledgeable and willing to talk you through your piercing. Also gave advice on other possible future piercings and tattoos

Fantastic piercers. Reasonably priced service and jewelry. Don't forget to tip your piercer!

I wish I could post a picture of how bad it really is. My sister and I got tattoos, very simple easy small heart tattoos and it s been a week and they are completely faded. They were horribly drawn to begin with but we thought, ok we can get the lines fixed but now we re out a $100.00 each and have half a tattoo...guy was really nice and I hate to leave bad reviews but absolutely horrible tattoos. We have numerous other tattoos and have NEVER had them just disappear, not even fade, just disappear...

I love this place! Very friendly staff and quality jewelry. I plan on receiving the rest of my piercings from their shop :)

The personnel are friendly and informative. Mic is fantastic at piercing and very professional. H explains everything. The shop is meticulously clean

Punctual, professional, nice and great work for me and my son. Really good. Thank you Jody!

Great burgers and shakes! Quick service excellent food and run & worked by the owners. I love the condiment bar that offers a ton of options to try on your burger or fish or chicken.

Ashley T. was amazing. Her make up and hair skills are out of this world. She took her time, was a great listener and has an amazing personality. I loved our conversation just as much as the makeup and blow out. Haven't felt this pretty since my wedding.

Came in 5 mins before they're closing (fall down from a bike half an hour before and lost ball from a ring in a nipple), and they help even with putting a ball into.
Awesome!

This was a amazing experience. Terry in the front was super cool and helpful with setting me up for my piercing. And Mic was amazing. He was very thorough with his marking and answering any questions I had about the piercing and he had the most gentlest of hands

They were extremely helpful and answered my many questions. Mic did my piercing and thoroughly explained every step of the process and outlined my aftercare routine. Would highly recommend!

I have always wanted a nose piercing! As, a nurse I was concerned if it was going to hurt, did I say I am a big chicken also. Another concern was with the sterility of the procedure and quality of jewelry. Cold Steel America Piercing and Tattoo was amazing. I went with my Sis . She had gotten a tattoo there previously. I was just along for the ride , she said that she would get my piercing as an early birthday present. The staff was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. I was introduced to Becky! She was freaking amazing. The procedure didn't even hurt. Her technique was off the chart. The area was pristine and sterile. And I was even able to sit in while my sis got her nose pierced by Becky and I watched Weston give her a exquisite tattoo. I am even thinking about my first tattoo!!! I will definitely be returning! Thank you guys so much for a wonderful experience.

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Gorgeous jewelry on display (reminds me of a museum display).

Had a great experience here! Weston did a phenomenal job at answering all of my questions and was very vocal about what he was doing. I highly recommend this place!!

The service was amazing ! Best place to have a light and amazing tasteful breakfast ! If You are coming to SF you must stop by . This place is awesome .

Awesome unique jewelry. Great boutique flair and outstanding customer service!! You can also get piercings done, gently. Employees are very knowledgeable in the care that should be applied for each piercing. Very welcoming to novice and newcomers.

The staff were professional, helpful and knowledgeable. Had a great experience and love my piercing!

Great tasting food!!! Definitely would recommend to anyone who loves Jamaican food!

Highly reccomend this place for piercings. The staff are extremely knowledgeable. Any question you have they can answer. The selection of jewelry is vast and high quality. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and clean. When I went most recently the shop was packed with customers but I did not feel rushed at all, and the piercing artist was the perfect combination of friendly and professional even though I myself am quite annoying when I'm nervous.

They were super friendly, organized and professional with style! So glad I found this place!

Every time I go for a piercing or to get them adjusted they have been great! I would recommend anyone thinking of getting any piercing to check this place out!!

Good selection of piercings, but the artist portfolios of the tattoo artists were tradtional, and not very diverse.

Mic is amazing. He made piercing my ears fun and took pictures with me. He was quick and gentle. All the staff is friendly, helpful, professional and very informative. Would recommend it for ALL ages. (Written by my 7 year old).

people here are really nice, i had my lobes reopened by becky (i thought they were closed) and my friend had her septum pierced by her. it's very clean and even though the jewelry is pricey, it's good quality and there's a big selection. will definitely come here again for my next piercing

Lovely staff with lots of valuable information. They seem very informed when picking out jewelry or when I got my septum pierced. Also friendly. There are lots of options for jewelry and prices. It's even good with a touchy budget

Extremely professional and talented staff, and high quality jewelry. I always feel like I m in safe hands when I visit, and I ve never been disappointed. Great place for minor and major piercings alike.

Everyone here is super nice and super helpful. My nose ring, that I bought from here, came out (totally my own fault) and they helped put it back in, free of charge!

Now I must admit, I have never had Jamaican food prior to today but I know food and this was delicious!!! The service was super friendly, the portions were perfect, and the price was right. I had the curry goat and my fiance had the jerk chicken and both were so good!!!! Go there!!! Now!!

I go to Becky for all my piercings. The shop is clean, welcoming, and has a great selection of jewelry to choose from. From publicly-seen to the more private piercings- you'll leave excited about your new look and the great experience you had!

Very clean shop with experienced professionals working here. The jewelry selection is also really solid.

Mic Becky Devin Weston Shana and Kevin are great folks!

I m pretty surprised by the positive reviews this shop has. I ve been to many body modification shops over the years and this is amongst my worst experiences. Bad customer service, unfriendly and condescending employees, unrealistic wait times, and exaggerated prices. I went down a couple blocks to Braindrops and had a much better experience there.

I love this place and trust it 100%. It s expensive, but worth it because of the quality. I ve gotten piercings and tattoos here and have walked away extremely happy, and I get compliments on them all the time! The staff are fun and chill and make you feel super comfortable. Love the place, the people and the final product!!

I absolutely love this shop and the people who work here! Couldn t recommend them more highly. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable about piercing technique, care, and jewelry, and they re more than willing to share their knowledge or just chat about whatever. I ve purchased a few pieces from them and everyone I ve interacted with has been super friendly and helpful. Prices are very reasonable considering the high quality of service and their jewelry pieces. Shoutout to Dannielle for being amazing when I had a question about a mail order!!

Great customer service. Never had problems there and always maintained. I Recommend a visit. New gym locations are always fun to visit. Overall great gym.

Had my nostril pierced by Becky and she does a great job, I have had change out my jewelry and I can trust her to do the right thing and that's something you need in a piercer.

I got my nostril pierced here and they are very very professional. Not to mention clean! Their piercing rooms give you the privacy and sterility that you deserve. They also have quality products. Although they are a little on the pricey side
