I had such an amazing experience with Olivia! I came in with the idea of getting a Jollibee inspired tattoo featuring their peach mango pie. She ate and left no crumbs. Olivia took my idea seriously and reached out in a timely manner to coordinate the tattoo appointment. She also added her own creative touch and even brought me a Jollibee peach mango pie to eat. š I absolutely love how she transformed such a simple concept into something so unique, adorable and full of Filipinx pride.
Throughout the appointment, Olivia was kind, professional, and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. She explained the process, checked in on me throughout the session, and gave me clear aftercare instructions. You can tell she genuinely cares about both her clients and the quality of her work.
Iām so happy with my tattoo, and every time I look at my little Jollibee mango pie tattoo, it makes me giddy. Thank you Olivia, for creating something so special and very me. I canāt wait to come back for my next tattoo.
I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an artist who is incredibly talented, caring and collaborative.

Diego made my first tattoo experience amazing!!! He took the time to consult with me and sketch out my vision beforehand, which made me feel even more confident in trusting him with my back piece. Diego spent over 7 hours tattooing each session and was incredibly patient and understanding about the pain during my first sessions, he also lightly stencil-outlined the more tender areas so my skin could heal while preserving the design and itās beauty. Iām honestly mind-blown after each tattoo session with Diego, I truly admire his artistic talent and dedication. Iām so happy I chose Sacred Soul. Thank you Diego!! āļøāļøāļøāļøāļøāļø

Sin does not play around when it comes to piercings, he is the only person I would trust! He is great! Eases you into the piercing, talking to you through the whole process with calm energy the whole way. He take sanitization very seriously, so please make sure to pay attention to the aftercare instructions!
His studio also has a beautiful collection of studs/rings/and cute dangly options to choose from.
Iāve gotten a nose piercing, and some ear & cartilage piercings done by Sin and they all healed beautifully!! I canāt wait to add more earring stacks onto my ear!

I went with my sister to get some ear piercings for my birthday. Sin was amazing! He was professional, affable, and extremely patient with my sister and I as we were deciding what jewelry we wanted. He has both titanium and gold jewelry, and there is a wide range of options and prices to fit any budget. My sister got one upper lobe piercing, and I got two lobe piercings, one on each ear. My favorite part of his shop is THE CLEANLINESS! Everything was done so hygienically, we were immediately put at ease. He has a very calming approach to piercings that help to distract you, and before we knew it, we were done! The pain was minimal, and now that I am more than a month out with healing, I can say that they were beautifully done. We will definitely be going back for any future piercings that we decide to get.

I got an ear piercing from Sin and it was such a calm and beautiful experience. He was super informative and calmly walked me through each step. Everything was sterile, the shop was super clean, and Sin really took his time with placement and he does his piercings all by hand.
My favorite part is that he sort of makes it a meditative experience. The calm and the breath and the verbal walk through was so helpful. I donāt think Iād trust anyone else to pierce me again haha

I've gotten a few different piercings from Sin and he is the best! I was really scared and nervous to get a new piercing and Sin created such a calm and comforting environment. He has a great energy about him and had me take a few breaths before and the actual process was so fast, easy, and painless! He is incredibly thorough with his instructions and I have had all my piercings heal so well. Sin takes his time ensuring all the tools he uses are sanitized and the whole studio maintains a very clean space.
The folks here are patient, they will take the time to answer your questions, and are incredibly knowledgeable professionals in all of their specialties. I will be coming back here many many more times!!

This review is long overdue and at some point I need to realize the ecstatic gratitude dialogue in my head every time I see my tattoo does not transfer telepathically to others. Olivia will forever be part of me from not only the fantastic and beautiful work she has done but she blessed me an experience I will never forget. She shared the love, care and intention in my vision from start to end. My 5 star review doesnāt end with her. All the artists were warm and welcoming. Hands down a place to go!

I got my first tattoo from Adrian and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, their customer service was exceptional. He took the time to listen to my ideas and offer thoughtful suggestions to enhance the design. Knowing this his my first tattoo and some part is located on my ankle, he helped me mentally prepare for the pain and super gentle when he tattoo on my ankle.
The quality of Adrianās s work is outstanding. The lines are crisp, the shading is smooth, and the colors are vibrant. The attention to detail really brings the tattoo to life. It's clear that he take pride in his craft.
What surprised me most was the reasonable pricing. Given the level of skill and the time spent on my piece, I found the cost to be very fair. It's refreshing to find an artist who delivers top-notch work without breaking the bank.
Overall, I highly recommend Adrian for anyone looking for a talented, professional, and affordable tattoo artist. They've gained a loyal customer, and I'm already telling my friends and family about him for the past 10+ years.

This location is the first for Union City, and they've been open for barely a month, but they have tons of experienced individuals working here. My significant other saw they were opening up the shop here, and we checked out their socials and asked for a consultation. They have appointments that can be booked online, or you can contact the artist for availability. I met up with Diego, one of the tattoo artists, and he was super nice and professional. He's highly concentrated when he's working, but he was able to make me feel comfortable throughout the five hour session. He was able to make adjustments for me the morning of my appointment, and everything turned out great. His line work is amazing, and I would definitely recommend checking out their social media account to see all the artist.
The location is very clean, which feels reassuring for getting piercings or tattoos.
The piercer, Sin, is super friendly and chill to talk to. Even though I wasn't getting any work done by him, he saw me in and assisted me in any way that he could. My significant other ended up buying a few pieces of jewelry from him, and he's very knowledgeable of his craft.
Overall, the people who work here really care for not only their work but also for the people that come into their establishment. I highly recommend checking them out if you're interested in a tattoo or piercings.

I started a large lower back piece years ago with Adrian and had to stop after completing the outline because I got pregnant. Well, seven years later I finally got around to finishing it and I was so happy to find Adrian again at their new spot, Sacred Soul Studio. After a few sessions my tattoo is finished and itās absolutely beautiful!! I already have plans for my next one because Adrian is the best! The studio itself is so clean and modern. I love that Adrian uses biodegradable materials which is great for our planet. He is knowledgeable about the science of tattooing and everything he uses to make it happen. He is a very talented artist and can work with you to make your tattoo dreams come true. Honestly, every artist at Sacred Soul Studio is super talented and friendly. This studio literally has it all!

Sin was so helpful with re piercing my ears! Iāve had pierced ears my whole life and had been taking care of them all wrong. Re piercing them myself over and over caused me to have a mild keloid on my ear and the repeated piercing I was doing and wearing cheap metal caused the keloid to get worse over the years and close up. I always wanted to have pierced ears again but was afraid of the keloid getting worse. Booked a consultation with Sin, so he could take a look at it to make sure it wasnāt too bad to do a piercing. He ended up piercing right above it and repiercing the other side as well slightly above my original piercing so the two would be even. He explained everything from the material to the process and the care process after. Dude is legit and knows what heās doing. 100% recommend!

I had the pleasure of getting a custom thigh piece by the amazing Adrian from Sacred Soul Studio. The piece took about 3-4 sessions, with the 4th one being a touch up session.
Adrian was super easy to work with. I presented a few things that I wanted to be part of the piece, along with a few references. Adrian knocked it out of the park with the design! Way exceeded my expectations, and I couldnāt wait to get the piece started when I first saw the draft of the design!
I have a few other pieces on me by different artists, Adrianās work healed the easiest out of all of them. Due to me requesting for a colored piece, I had to come back a few times in order for the color layers to heal. This was a good idea. The coloring and layers look extremely good because of that.
This studio is so close to my house, Iām already planning the next piece to fill out my leg. I will definitely be returning to Adrian for the rest of the work!
Environment wise, everybody in the shop were extremely professional and friendly. Almost giving me a barbershop vibe where everybody is chatting and having a great time. I look forward to coming back for my next tattoo! And maybe explore what the other artists have to offer as well! Sin the Piercer is super funny and friendly too! Great vibes allllll around!
Iām so happy to have found a new tattoo shop that is close by, fun, clean, and professional!

Sacred Soul has been amazing at taking care of my tattoo and piercing needs.
Sin is a very talented piercer and has done a few of my piercings. I went in for jewelry change for my septum and he had many choices for the new jewelry. While I was there I also got my helix pierced. Sin was able to answer my questions and he was very thorough on explaining the aftercare. Prior to my visit I had accidentally bumped my nostril piercing and developed a piercing bump. Sin took a look at it and was able to explain to me the treatment I needed to do to have the bump heal. My piercing bump is all gone now and has healed beautifully following Sinās advice.
Damian is an amazing tattoo artist. I walked in with a design in mind, Damian provided a consultation we scheduled an appointment. The tattoo process was great and he would check in with me to see if I needed any breaks. Damian was great at explaining the aftercare instructions. My tattoo looks fantastic, Damian has great tattooing skills and fun to talk to.

I came in on a whim today with a friend just to scout out some new jewelry. We are both new to the Bay Area and the piercer was beyond friendly! He had such an outgoing personality and so welcoming to us both. He really took his time allowing us to explore all jewelry options and show casing several before we decided what to get. This guy was incredible! His personality is priceless and he really cared about making sure we had exactly what we wanted and educating us on our piercing. He changed the jewelry in both piercings for us in under 5 mins. This shop is the real deal and Iām definitely keeping it in mind for future piercings/tattoos! As you can clearly see I needed a new nose ring, he said mine looked like a kidney stone. I enjoyed my visit!

Loved the breath work and squishy ball and the studio was warm and welcoming. The jewelry options were super extensive too. I ended up leaving with some beautiful moonstone earrings.

Great local tattoo shop with experienced artists. Came in, met Diego, very cool and friendly guy. Gave me some suggestions for my tattoo and helped me understand the right positioning and size to get. I would have been SCREWED if he didn't tell me the tattoo I was getting was going to look backwards at the angle I originally planned, and that make some believe this shop was the right place the universe lead me to.
Definitely going to get more work done by him, it's dope to finally have a tattoo shop with experienced artists in our city instead of traveling far out to get good quality work done. Highly highly recommend you hit up Diego to get some work done.šš

Getting pierced by Sin has been an amazing experience every time! I've trusted him with multiple piercings, including my lip, belly button, ear, and just today, my tragus. Every experience has been flawless and professional. My sister has also had a few piercings done by Sin, and sheās equally thrilled with the results.
One of the standout aspects of getting pierced by Sin is his use of great breathing techniques. These techniques have made the experience far more comfortable and less stressful. The environment at his piercing and tattoo place is amazingāclean, welcoming, and full of creative energy. He also has a lot of beautiful jewelry pieces to choose from, which adds a personal touch to every piercing.
With over 15 years of piercing experience, Sin is not only highly skilled but also incredibly friendly and welcoming. He truly provides the best customer service, making sure you feel comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Sin to anyone looking for a professional and pleasant piercing experience. Heās the best in the business!

I would never go to anyone else! I had the pleasure of visiting Sin when he was working at inkies studio in Fremont. Sin employs a unique breathing technique that truly revolutionizes the piercing experience and making it very comfortable. I was impressed by the level of cleanliness and sanitation he had. He meticulously explained his sterilization process, ensuring every instrument was pristine and safe.
During the piercing procedure itself, I was amazed by the effectiveness of his breathing technique. His skillful hands and attention to detail further enhanced the process, leaving me feeling confident and relaxed throughout.
Overall, I highly recommend Sin to anyone seeking a professional and pain-free piercing experience. His commitment to cleanliness, combined with his innovative breathing technique, sets him apart as a true gem in the industry.

I got my snakebites done by Sin a few months ago and I love them. Sin was super chill and very thorough with what he was doing and with the aftercare instructions. Originally, I had messed up the placement and Sin was super understanding and told me to take it out and come back later to get it re-done. When I came back he was very sweet and took extra care to make sure the placement was exactly what I wanted and offered his advice when I wasnāt sure. Iāve come back quite a few times since then for jewelry changes and every time heās been super chill and very gentle, canāt recommend him enough-especially if youāre a nervous person, he seriously knows how to lighten the mood.

I was so happy to discover that Sin, my go-to piercer, has helped open his new studio in Union City. Sin has been my piercer for all previous work and his expertise and passion are truly impressive. In his new studio, he has already helped me with two lobe piercings and assisted in stretching my septum, making each step comfortable and secure. Sin takes the time to ensure every detail is perfect, and we've even discussed getting an industrial piercing soon. He carefully explained the care needed, especially since I wear glasses and often hats or beanies.
Additionally, I had a great conversation with Diego, a tattoo artist at the studio, about a potential matching tattoo with four friends. Diego was incredibly welcoming about the idea and I'm excited to see our ideas come to life once we finalize our plans. For anyone looking for professional piercing or tattoo services, visiting Sinās new studio is a must. He's absolutely the real deal!

I recently got my philtrum (a.k.a Medusa) pierced by none other than Sin and I couldnāt be happier with the entire experience from start to finish. He was welcoming, warm and professional.
Iāve had two prior piercings also done by Sin and I was thrilled to find him at his new shop Sacred Soul Studio in Union City. I must admit it was serendipitous as I had been looking to book with him at his previous studio but could not locate him. In short, I felt such a relief to know that I was in great hands once again.
We started out by picking my jewelry, Sin showed me an array of pieces of different colors and prices.
He took the time to explain the process in great detail, ensuring I understood everything before we began. He was meticulous about relaxing and having me practice a breathing technique which gave me peace of mind. I was also allowed to have my friend with me in the room. Iād like to add that the breathing technique was the highlight of my experience, I was able to exhale through the pain which was quick and graceful. Iām super satisfied with how it turned out. I highly recommend Sin for any of your piercing needs, I promise he wonāt disappoint.

I came to the studio for piercings and ended up coming back for tattoos as well.
Sin is amazing and very thorough. He definitely knows his craft and will make you feel at ease. I ended up getting additional piercing cause he was so good and gentle. Will definitely return to get more piercings.
After my piercing, I got a tattoo consult with Damian. He is an amazing artist for sure. I provided him with a sketch and he ran with it. He was also willing to make changes to the sketches when I wanted something updated. Getting the tattoo itself was so quick and painless. He has a very gentle hand and is incredibly efficient. I love my tattoo and it is healing nicely so far.
The studio itself is so nice and clean. Really loved coming here.

My friend had recommended me this shop, loved the studio and atmosphere the shop owner and his wife bring!
Got angel bites and from the beginning to end the experience was wonderful, I felt super comfortable and confident with ever step of the piercings! The studio space from tattoo to piercing stations were all super clean, organized and well put together. If I could give this shop a higher rating I would. Best shop in the Bay area and highly recommend to everyone and anyone looking to have a well taken care of experience. Thank you all at sacred souls, will come back again in the future!

Sacred Souls is so cool! The inside is very clean and they have awesome decorations. We was greeted instantly and without an appt (but definitely recommend one just in case!). Super awesome staff. I was pierced by Sin for my septum and he was super professional and nice. He showed me the clean tools and piercing and understood I needed it to be flipped up so he let me take a photo before getting it flipped up by him. It's awesome having a studio right next door and I'm definitely going back for more piercings!

Sin is definitely the best piercer in the bay!! Iāve gotten my medusa, septum, and brow piercing done by sin over the years and theyāve all healed sooo beautifully. I had gotten other piercings done by so many different people before him and either it wasnāt quality jewelry, piercing got infected or bad customer service. With sin I do not have to worry about any of that! I am also very scared of needles but he helps me stay really calm and balanced to make it go by very fast and easy. Over all an amazing experience with quality service. I will not be going to any other piercer as long as sin is still working!! š Highly recommend him if you want an experienced and knowledgeable piercer.

I recently had the pleasure of getting a tattoo done by Damian and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly, the atmosphere was inviting and clean.
Damian is not only incredibly talented but also very professional and attentive. The tattooing process itself was smooth and comfortable, and the end result exceeded my expectations.
I'm absolutely thrilled with my new tattoo and have received numerous compliments on it already. I highly recommend Damian to anyone looking for a skilled and friendly tattoo artist. Thank you for the fantastic work!

Sin is the absolute best piercer that I know. He has done all of my cartilage piercings since 2019. Today, he did a double helix piercing to bring my total to 5 piercings from him and I trust him unconditionally.
He is gentle, patient, thorough in his explanations, and extremely skilled. If you are looking for the best, you will absolutely find it in him.

*Long review*
The design-
Iāve been dreaming about getting a trident tattoo for almost a decade- been reworking the design over the years.
This year, after being married for 2 years, I decided to incorporate a trident into my wedding monogram. It took multiple trials to get it right.
Sacred Soul-
I was super excited and decided to bite the bullet and get a tattoo on Sunday the 26th. I heard about a couple 5 star places in SF, but for almost 6-8 days, they were unresponsive. I wasnāt as excited to get my tattoo anymore.
I search up ātattoo Fremontā and Sacred Soul popped up. I sent them an email with my design requirements and when they opened, I gave them a call. They picked up immediately and were warm and friendly. I mentioned in my email that I would request Damian as my artist as he has done a trident tattoo before (saw on his insta). They mentioned that theyāll share my info and Damian will get back to me. Super friendly and responsive!
Connecting with the Artist- Damian
We connected on insta and I shared all my tattoo information. He was responsive and answered all my questions- approximate pricing, process, duration, prep, etc. I let him know my availability and luckily he had time on the same day. So I went in to Sacred Soul, was quickly checked in and waited while he prepped the station.
Actual Tattooing-
The whole process was new to me- Damian adjusted my reference picture to my new modification minutes before going to print. He brought out the sizes and then made them smaller when both seemed too big. He was extremely patient and didnāt get annoyed when I needed to move the placement a couple of times. He also reassured me that it wouldnāt hurt too badly, but itāll just sting (especially if you have a higher pain tolerance). The entire time he did my tattoo, he was focused, and then we started chatting once I felt comfortable with the tattoo sting. Very pleasant conversations and the time flew. He also did the piece pretty quickly.
Overall, I would recommend Damien, and even others (they were all so hospitable and friendly, making sure Iāve been helped).
Iām looking forward to getting more tattoos from here just from this experience and Iāve recommended this studio to my friends.
Excellent experience!

I had such an amazing experience with Olivia! I came in with the idea of getting a Jollibee inspired tattoo featuring their peach mango pie. She ate and left no crumbs. Olivia took my idea seriously and reached out in a timely manner to coordinate the tattoo appointment. She also added her own creative touch and even brought me a Jollibee peach mango pie to eat. š I absolutely love how she transformed such a simple concept into something so unique, adorable and full of Filipinx pride.
Throughout the appointment, Olivia was kind, professional, and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. She explained the process, checked in on me throughout the session, and gave me clear aftercare instructions. You can tell she genuinely cares about both her clients and the quality of her work.
Iām so happy with my tattoo, and every time I look at my little Jollibee mango pie tattoo, it makes me giddy. Thank you Olivia, for creating something so special and very me. I canāt wait to come back for my next tattoo.
I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an artist who is incredibly talented, caring and collaborative.

Diego made my first tattoo experience amazing!!! He took the time to consult with me and sketch out my vision beforehand, which made me feel even more confident in trusting him with my back piece. Diego spent over 7 hours tattooing each session and was incredibly patient and understanding about the pain during my first sessions, he also lightly stencil-outlined the more tender areas so my skin could heal while preserving the design and itās beauty. Iām honestly mind-blown after each tattoo session with Diego, I truly admire his artistic talent and dedication. Iām so happy I chose Sacred Soul. Thank you Diego!! āļøāļøāļøāļøāļøāļø

Sin does not play around when it comes to piercings, he is the only person I would trust! He is great! Eases you into the piercing, talking to you through the whole process with calm energy the whole way. He take sanitization very seriously, so please make sure to pay attention to the aftercare instructions!
His studio also has a beautiful collection of studs/rings/and cute dangly options to choose from.
Iāve gotten a nose piercing, and some ear & cartilage piercings done by Sin and they all healed beautifully!! I canāt wait to add more earring stacks onto my ear!

I went with my sister to get some ear piercings for my birthday. Sin was amazing! He was professional, affable, and extremely patient with my sister and I as we were deciding what jewelry we wanted. He has both titanium and gold jewelry, and there is a wide range of options and prices to fit any budget. My sister got one upper lobe piercing, and I got two lobe piercings, one on each ear. My favorite part of his shop is THE CLEANLINESS! Everything was done so hygienically, we were immediately put at ease. He has a very calming approach to piercings that help to distract you, and before we knew it, we were done! The pain was minimal, and now that I am more than a month out with healing, I can say that they were beautifully done. We will definitely be going back for any future piercings that we decide to get.

I got an ear piercing from Sin and it was such a calm and beautiful experience. He was super informative and calmly walked me through each step. Everything was sterile, the shop was super clean, and Sin really took his time with placement and he does his piercings all by hand.
My favorite part is that he sort of makes it a meditative experience. The calm and the breath and the verbal walk through was so helpful. I donāt think Iād trust anyone else to pierce me again haha

I've gotten a few different piercings from Sin and he is the best! I was really scared and nervous to get a new piercing and Sin created such a calm and comforting environment. He has a great energy about him and had me take a few breaths before and the actual process was so fast, easy, and painless! He is incredibly thorough with his instructions and I have had all my piercings heal so well. Sin takes his time ensuring all the tools he uses are sanitized and the whole studio maintains a very clean space.
The folks here are patient, they will take the time to answer your questions, and are incredibly knowledgeable professionals in all of their specialties. I will be coming back here many many more times!!

I got my first tattoo from Adrian and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, their customer service was exceptional. He took the time to listen to my ideas and offer thoughtful suggestions to enhance the design. Knowing this his my first tattoo and some part is located on my ankle, he helped me mentally prepare for the pain and super gentle when he tattoo on my ankle.
The quality of Adrianās s work is outstanding. The lines are crisp, the shading is smooth, and the colors are vibrant. The attention to detail really brings the tattoo to life. It's clear that he take pride in his craft.
What surprised me most was the reasonable pricing. Given the level of skill and the time spent on my piece, I found the cost to be very fair. It's refreshing to find an artist who delivers top-notch work without breaking the bank.
Overall, I highly recommend Adrian for anyone looking for a talented, professional, and affordable tattoo artist. They've gained a loyal customer, and I'm already telling my friends and family about him for the past 10+ years.

This location is the first for Union City, and they've been open for barely a month, but they have tons of experienced individuals working here. My significant other saw they were opening up the shop here, and we checked out their socials and asked for a consultation. They have appointments that can be booked online, or you can contact the artist for availability. I met up with Diego, one of the tattoo artists, and he was super nice and professional. He's highly concentrated when he's working, but he was able to make me feel comfortable throughout the five hour session. He was able to make adjustments for me the morning of my appointment, and everything turned out great. His line work is amazing, and I would definitely recommend checking out their social media account to see all the artist.
The location is very clean, which feels reassuring for getting piercings or tattoos.
The piercer, Sin, is super friendly and chill to talk to. Even though I wasn't getting any work done by him, he saw me in and assisted me in any way that he could. My significant other ended up buying a few pieces of jewelry from him, and he's very knowledgeable of his craft.
Overall, the people who work here really care for not only their work but also for the people that come into their establishment. I highly recommend checking them out if you're interested in a tattoo or piercings.

I started a large lower back piece years ago with Adrian and had to stop after completing the outline because I got pregnant. Well, seven years later I finally got around to finishing it and I was so happy to find Adrian again at their new spot, Sacred Soul Studio. After a few sessions my tattoo is finished and itās absolutely beautiful!! I already have plans for my next one because Adrian is the best! The studio itself is so clean and modern. I love that Adrian uses biodegradable materials which is great for our planet. He is knowledgeable about the science of tattooing and everything he uses to make it happen. He is a very talented artist and can work with you to make your tattoo dreams come true. Honestly, every artist at Sacred Soul Studio is super talented and friendly. This studio literally has it all!

Sin was so helpful with re piercing my ears! Iāve had pierced ears my whole life and had been taking care of them all wrong. Re piercing them myself over and over caused me to have a mild keloid on my ear and the repeated piercing I was doing and wearing cheap metal caused the keloid to get worse over the years and close up. I always wanted to have pierced ears again but was afraid of the keloid getting worse. Booked a consultation with Sin, so he could take a look at it to make sure it wasnāt too bad to do a piercing. He ended up piercing right above it and repiercing the other side as well slightly above my original piercing so the two would be even. He explained everything from the material to the process and the care process after. Dude is legit and knows what heās doing. 100% recommend!

I had the pleasure of getting a custom thigh piece by the amazing Adrian from Sacred Soul Studio. The piece took about 3-4 sessions, with the 4th one being a touch up session.
Adrian was super easy to work with. I presented a few things that I wanted to be part of the piece, along with a few references. Adrian knocked it out of the park with the design! Way exceeded my expectations, and I couldnāt wait to get the piece started when I first saw the draft of the design!
I have a few other pieces on me by different artists, Adrianās work healed the easiest out of all of them. Due to me requesting for a colored piece, I had to come back a few times in order for the color layers to heal. This was a good idea. The coloring and layers look extremely good because of that.
This studio is so close to my house, Iām already planning the next piece to fill out my leg. I will definitely be returning to Adrian for the rest of the work!
Environment wise, everybody in the shop were extremely professional and friendly. Almost giving me a barbershop vibe where everybody is chatting and having a great time. I look forward to coming back for my next tattoo! And maybe explore what the other artists have to offer as well! Sin the Piercer is super funny and friendly too! Great vibes allllll around!

Sacred Soul has been amazing at taking care of my tattoo and piercing needs.
Sin is a very talented piercer and has done a few of my piercings. I went in for jewelry change for my septum and he had many choices for the new jewelry. While I was there I also got my helix pierced. Sin was able to answer my questions and he was very thorough on explaining the aftercare. Prior to my visit I had accidentally bumped my nostril piercing and developed a piercing bump. Sin took a look at it and was able to explain to me the treatment I needed to do to have the bump heal. My piercing bump is all gone now and has healed beautifully following Sinās advice.
Damian is an amazing tattoo artist. I walked in with a design in mind, Damian provided a consultation we scheduled an appointment. The tattoo process was great and he would check in with me to see if I needed any breaks. Damian was great at explaining the aftercare instructions. My tattoo looks fantastic, Damian has great tattooing skills and fun to talk to.

I came in on a whim today with a friend just to scout out some new jewelry. We are both new to the Bay Area and the piercer was beyond friendly! He had such an outgoing personality and so welcoming to us both. He really took his time allowing us to explore all jewelry options and show casing several before we decided what to get. This guy was incredible! His personality is priceless and he really cared about making sure we had exactly what we wanted and educating us on our piercing. He changed the jewelry in both piercings for us in under 5 mins. This shop is the real deal and Iām definitely keeping it in mind for future piercings/tattoos! As you can clearly see I needed a new nose ring, he said mine looked like a kidney stone. I enjoyed my visit!

Loved the breath work and squishy ball and the studio was warm and welcoming. The jewelry options were super extensive too. I ended up leaving with some beautiful moonstone earrings.

Great local tattoo shop with experienced artists. Came in, met Diego, very cool and friendly guy. Gave me some suggestions for my tattoo and helped me understand the right positioning and size to get. I would have been SCREWED if he didn't tell me the tattoo I was getting was going to look backwards at the angle I originally planned, and that make some believe this shop was the right place the universe lead me to.
Definitely going to get more work done by him, it's dope to finally have a tattoo shop with experienced artists in our city instead of traveling far out to get good quality work done. Highly highly recommend you hit up Diego to get some work done.šš

Getting pierced by Sin has been an amazing experience every time! I've trusted him with multiple piercings, including my lip, belly button, ear, and just today, my tragus. Every experience has been flawless and professional. My sister has also had a few piercings done by Sin, and sheās equally thrilled with the results.
One of the standout aspects of getting pierced by Sin is his use of great breathing techniques. These techniques have made the experience far more comfortable and less stressful. The environment at his piercing and tattoo place is amazingāclean, welcoming, and full of creative energy. He also has a lot of beautiful jewelry pieces to choose from, which adds a personal touch to every piercing.
With over 15 years of piercing experience, Sin is not only highly skilled but also incredibly friendly and welcoming. He truly provides the best customer service, making sure you feel comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Sin to anyone looking for a professional and pleasant piercing experience. Heās the best in the business!

I met Sin about 10 years ago to get one of my first piercings. Since then, I've visited him about a dozen more times for piercings. I got my lip re-pierced last week and as always, Sin delivers the absolute BEST customer service. He is patient, explains the process in detail, makes sure you feel comfortable during the entire process, and delivers in the best work. Sin is one of the only people I trust, and his work and hospitality show exactly why! Thank you brother!

Got my navel pierced by sin and it was a very nice experience! I get nauseous and sometimes passout with needles very normal for me. He gave me a glucose gummy to help with it and had me sitting down for a bit to help me! Very quick and nice piercing. You can tell he loves his job and thats what makes him a great piercer!!!!!

Booked an appointment online to get my daughters ears pierced. The whole process was so easy, the place was clean and Sin's customer service was beyond amazing! His attention to detail and his ability to make someone feel comfortable was unmatched. I highly recommend Sin for piercings and will recommend him to all my friends and family.

I would never go to anyone else! I had the pleasure of visiting Sin when he was working at inkies studio in Fremont. Sin employs a unique breathing technique that truly revolutionizes the piercing experience and making it very comfortable. I was impressed by the level of cleanliness and sanitation he had. He meticulously explained his sterilization process, ensuring every instrument was pristine and safe.
During the piercing procedure itself, I was amazed by the effectiveness of his breathing technique. His skillful hands and attention to detail further enhanced the process, leaving me feeling confident and relaxed throughout.
Overall, I highly recommend Sin to anyone seeking a professional and pain-free piercing experience. His commitment to cleanliness, combined with his innovative breathing technique, sets him apart as a true gem in the industry.

Sin is so gentle and knowledgeable! I got my industrial bar, double tragus and lobed pierced today. He took the time to talk me through the process and help me with breathing while he was piercing. Would always return here for more piercings going forward . Super professional and clean, nice little plaza. Really relaxing environment and the prices are really fair. Cannot say enough good things . He takes care of his customers

I got my snakebites done by Sin a few months ago and I love them. Sin was super chill and very thorough with what he was doing and with the aftercare instructions. Originally, I had messed up the placement and Sin was super understanding and told me to take it out and come back later to get it re-done. When I came back he was very sweet and took extra care to make sure the placement was exactly what I wanted and offered his advice when I wasnāt sure. Iāve come back quite a few times since then for jewelry changes and every time heās been super chill and very gentle, canāt recommend him enough-especially if youāre a nervous person, he seriously knows how to lighten the mood.

I was so happy to discover that Sin, my go-to piercer, has helped open his new studio in Union City. Sin has been my piercer for all previous work and his expertise and passion are truly impressive. In his new studio, he has already helped me with two lobe piercings and assisted in stretching my septum, making each step comfortable and secure. Sin takes the time to ensure every detail is perfect, and we've even discussed getting an industrial piercing soon. He carefully explained the care needed, especially since I wear glasses and often hats or beanies.
Additionally, I had a great conversation with Diego, a tattoo artist at the studio, about a potential matching tattoo with four friends. Diego was incredibly welcoming about the idea and I'm excited to see our ideas come to life once we finalize our plans. For anyone looking for professional piercing or tattoo services, visiting Sinās new studio is a must. He's absolutely the real deal!

I recently got my philtrum (a.k.a Medusa) pierced by none other than Sin and I couldnāt be happier with the entire experience from start to finish. He was welcoming, warm and professional.
Iāve had two prior piercings also done by Sin and I was thrilled to find him at his new shop Sacred Soul Studio in Union City. I must admit it was serendipitous as I had been looking to book with him at his previous studio but could not locate him. In short, I felt such a relief to know that I was in great hands once again.
We started out by picking my jewelry, Sin showed me an array of pieces of different colors and prices.
He took the time to explain the process in great detail, ensuring I understood everything before we began. He was meticulous about relaxing and having me practice a breathing technique which gave me peace of mind. I was also allowed to have my friend with me in the room. Iād like to add that the breathing technique was the highlight of my experience, I was able to exhale through the pain which was quick and graceful. Iām super satisfied with how it turned out. I highly recommend Sin for any of your piercing needs, I promise he wonāt disappoint.

I came to the studio for piercings and ended up coming back for tattoos as well.
Sin is amazing and very thorough. He definitely knows his craft and will make you feel at ease. I ended up getting additional piercing cause he was so good and gentle. Will definitely return to get more piercings.
After my piercing, I got a tattoo consult with Damian. He is an amazing artist for sure. I provided him with a sketch and he ran with it. He was also willing to make changes to the sketches when I wanted something updated. Getting the tattoo itself was so quick and painless. He has a very gentle hand and is incredibly efficient. I love my tattoo and it is healing nicely so far.
The studio itself is so nice and clean. Really loved coming here.

My friend had recommended me this shop, loved the studio and atmosphere the shop owner and his wife bring!
Got angel bites and from the beginning to end the experience was wonderful, I felt super comfortable and confident with ever step of the piercings! The studio space from tattoo to piercing stations were all super clean, organized and well put together. If I could give this shop a higher rating I would. Best shop in the Bay area and highly recommend to everyone and anyone looking to have a well taken care of experience. Thank you all at sacred souls, will come back again in the future!

Sacred Souls is so cool! The inside is very clean and they have awesome decorations. We was greeted instantly and without an appt (but definitely recommend one just in case!). Super awesome staff. I was pierced by Sin for my septum and he was super professional and nice. He showed me the clean tools and piercing and understood I needed it to be flipped up so he let me take a photo before getting it flipped up by him. It's awesome having a studio right next door and I'm definitely going back for more piercings!

Sin is definitely the best piercer in the bay!! Iāve gotten my medusa, septum, and brow piercing done by sin over the years and theyāve all healed sooo beautifully. I had gotten other piercings done by so many different people before him and either it wasnāt quality jewelry, piercing got infected or bad customer service. With sin I do not have to worry about any of that! I am also very scared of needles but he helps me stay really calm and balanced to make it go by very fast and easy. Over all an amazing experience with quality service. I will not be going to any other piercer as long as sin is still working!! š Highly recommend him if you want an experienced and knowledgeable piercer.

I recently had the pleasure of getting a tattoo done by Damian and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly, the atmosphere was inviting and clean.
Damian is not only incredibly talented but also very professional and attentive. The tattooing process itself was smooth and comfortable, and the end result exceeded my expectations.
I'm absolutely thrilled with my new tattoo and have received numerous compliments on it already. I highly recommend Damian to anyone looking for a skilled and friendly tattoo artist. Thank you for the fantastic work!

Sin is the absolute best piercer that I know. He has done all of my cartilage piercings since 2019. Today, he did a double helix piercing to bring my total to 5 piercings from him and I trust him unconditionally.
He is gentle, patient, thorough in his explanations, and extremely skilled. If you are looking for the best, you will absolutely find it in him.

*Long review*
The design-
Iāve been dreaming about getting a trident tattoo for almost a decade- been reworking the design over the years.
This year, after being married for 2 years, I decided to incorporate a trident into my wedding monogram. It took multiple trials to get it right.
Sacred Soul-
I was super excited and decided to bite the bullet and get a tattoo on Sunday the 26th. I heard about a couple 5 star places in SF, but for almost 6-8 days, they were unresponsive. I wasnāt as excited to get my tattoo anymore.
I search up ātattoo Fremontā and Sacred Soul popped up. I sent them an email with my design requirements and when they opened, I gave them a call. They picked up immediately and were warm and friendly. I mentioned in my email that I would request Damian as my artist as he has done a trident tattoo before (saw on his insta). They mentioned that theyāll share my info and Damian will get back to me. Super friendly and responsive!
Connecting with the Artist- Damian
We connected on insta and I shared all my tattoo information. He was responsive and answered all my questions- approximate pricing, process, duration, prep, etc. I let him know my availability and luckily he had time on the same day. So I went in to Sacred Soul, was quickly checked in and waited while he prepped the station.
Actual Tattooing-
The whole process was new to me- Damian adjusted my reference picture to my new modification minutes before going to print. He brought out the sizes and then made them smaller when both seemed too big. He was extremely patient and didnāt get annoyed when I needed to move the placement a couple of times. He also reassured me that it wouldnāt hurt too badly, but itāll just sting (especially if you have a higher pain tolerance). The entire time he did my tattoo, he was focused, and then we started chatting once I felt comfortable with the tattoo sting. Very pleasant conversations and the time flew. He also did the piece pretty quickly.
Overall, I would recommend Damien, and even others (they were all so hospitable and friendly, making sure Iāve been helped).
Iām looking forward to getting more tattoos from here just from this experience and Iāve recommended this studio to my friends.
Excellent experience!
