I have quite a few piercings and I have to say Ryan at Chronic Tattoo is AMAZING.
Compared to any of the shops in PB on Garnet (both low and high end) as well as San Diego in general this is the best value and quality you can get.

Ryan did a double nostril on me and he's professional, clean, and my piercings turned out perfect! Plus, I didn't get any of the elitist attitude that many piercers have.

Highly recommended.

Accompanied my brother here. I must say I'm impressed. The place was VERY clean and looked great compared to any other place that does tattoos or piercings. They are very careful with what they use for tools and sterilize everything right away. I would come back for a piercing or a tattoo.

So far this is my favorite tattoo/piercing shop to get piercings! They have a great selection of jewelry, from surgical steel to white gold, all at decent prices, then they have great piercers who are friendly and make you feel very comfortable. I got my tragus pierced here and I loved how the piercer made me feel relaxed and talked me through the process. She made it almost painless! I don't know if this has anything to do with the piercer, but this is my only piercing that I have had no problems with at all. Also, she even gave me a little bit of this gel thing to soothe my nose piercing, which she didn't have to do. The only gripe I have is that it is on the expensive side, although very worth the price.

My friend and I came here to get a tattoo and piercing. Everyone is very friendly and the tattoos you get here rocks. The colors are very vibrant when getting colored tattoos. The artists make you feel super welcomed here. And the prices aren't bad at all. Just make sure you book ahead for tattoos because they can be really busy. It's because they are that awesome! As for piercings, the piercer talks you through the process and explains what each instrument being used and makes sure you are completely comfortable before they are about to pierce you. Coming here was a great experience and I loved everyone that was there.

My friend and I decided to try a new place in PB and went here. The artist exceeded her needs and the piercer was great at talking me through the process. I recommend this place to anyone interested in getting a small-medium size tat or a piercing.
