Tommy T's is a great place to get your piercings. I love it there and just went for the second time with my cousin. Its clean and the workers answer all the questions you have and are friendly. Its very professional and the jewelry is good quality. The atmosphere is comforting and its a relaxing place. I highly recommend getting your piercings there.

5 Stars: Tommy T's Body Piercing is the absolute best place for piercings! (by Ashley E.)

Ashley E. — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 22:36:00 GMT

Tommy has done all of my piercings and they have all healed perfectly. He took his time to go over why the metal the jewelry is made of is important. I never knew that could affect the way my piercings healed. I recommend all of my friends to go to him. If you are considering getting pierced go to Tommy T's. You will no be dissappointed!

1 Stars: Tommy T's Body Piercing is HORRBILE (by saje b.)

saje b. — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 00:17:00 GMT

Please DO NOT even waste your time stepping foot into this store. Tommy has NO people skills what so ever. He was a complete jack ass & was extremely rude to every customer who walked in. I ended up walking out in the middle of my piercing because he did not what so ever make me feel at ease with what he was doing. For starters I don't think he knew what he was doing. The girl before me payed 6 extra dollars for numbing and he didn't do it and she came out in extreme pain. I asked him if he was going to numb me because i as well payed to have it done and he completely snapped. I've never been so offended by anybody. God only knows why the hell that store is still open. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THAT! He is more interested in getting the money than assuring you a sanitary piercing.

4 Stars: Nose piercing... love it! (by Sara F.)

Sara F. — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 23:47:00 GMT

I had an amazing experience here! The staff is so friendly and helpful. All of my questions were answered. Tommy did a great job... didn't hurt at all! I loved the fact that the piercing room is completely sterile.

5 Stars: Nose Piercing (by Sherry N.)

Sherry N. — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 16:52:00 GMT

I always wanted to get my nose done and heard about Tommy T's from my son. I was SUPER scared thinking it would be painful. The experience was nothing like I had anticipated it was pain free! It looks great! and I would do it all over again in a heart beat!

5 Stars: nipples and hood piercing (by wc t.)

wc t. — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 13:20:00 GMT

Came in at 12:00 and was done by 1:00! Jewelry was top notch. I went for the top of the line gold! I was thrilled with the selection of choices that I could later come back for when I want a variety of colored jewels to choose from. The parlor was superbly clean, and I had expert care. I was told what the procedure was and told over and over that the procedure will be done with 100% care. The piercer took care of me while making sure he expertly prepared and pierced professionaly. I was very impressed. I felt no pressure to do anything I didn't want to do. The piercing was fast and accurately done!!!

5 Stars: An Amazing Shop! (by Donna B.)

Donna B. — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 08:44:00 GMT

Tommy T's is an amazing shop. Tommy is great to work with, and always takes the time to answer your question (regardless of how silly/stupid they may be) without making you feel rushed. I have never seen such a large selection of jewelry in one store! The piercing room is amazing, and made me feel like I was walking into a doctors office.

I would highly recommend Tommy T's to anyone who wants to get pierced. This shop is truly a step above the rest!

5 Stars: I did it! (by Holly D.)

Holly D. — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:47:00 GMT

After 47 years and one year of totally contemplating getting it done. I asked so many people where to get it pierced and everyone told me to go to Tommy T's. I had people tell me they got pierced at other shops and then went to Tommy to have it fixed. I was going up to total strangers and asking "where did you get your nose done" My husband was getting embarrased. He was convinced I would never do it. But I did and it's been 3 days and he hasn't even noticed!!! It looks so natural. I thought it would hurt and it didn't. All that worrying for nothing!

5 Stars: Tommy T Rocks! (by Scott R.)

Scott R. — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 21:05:00 GMT

Tommy T you rock for kicking out that f-n HO for pulling her cell phone out in the middle of a piercing. That was hilarious man. She deserved it for being such an idiot! You're the best piercer in O.C. Love you man.

5 Stars: I recommend to everyone (by Kacie O.)

Kacie O. — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 18:02:00 GMT

One of the main reasons is that it is dedicated to body piercing and I noticed their employees have to go through a 3 year training. I had my marilyn pierced at a tattoo parlor on the Newport Peninsula and they are basically a tattoo place and they really didn't have a selection of jewelry. Tommy T's is extremely clean and it is really nice. I went in to have my lip pierced and they have the nicest selection of jewelry. It's wall to wall. I have already recommended lots of my friends to go there.

1 Stars: Rude, overpriced, go somewhere else (by Amber P.)

Amber P. — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 20:33:00 GMT

Besides the overpriced jewelery, rude, unhelpful staff, and bad times all around? Nope. nothing more to say. They way overcharge, all the "training" the piercer has is from a one week period. Look at the dates of the certificates online. Keep your distance not fall into this tourist trap if you really want it done right, in any fashion of friendly or helpful workers. I don't usually take the time to write stuff like this, but, really, it is that bad . . .

5 Stars: My mom and I only go to Tommy T's (by morgan o.)

morgan o. — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 20:00:00 GMT

Everything there is really clean. We had looked at other tattoo and body piercing parlors in Orange County and never got anything done anywhere else. Tommy T's is quality! They have so much selection and they are always quick about getting you pierced. They don't make you wait forever. We always get pierced with 18K gold jewelry and my mom always gets real diamonds. She even got me a real diamond for my nose piercing. I'm normally a little paranoid when it comes to getting pierced, but in the end I do just fine when I get pierced by Tommy. Thanks

3 Stars: Rook and Custom Ear Piercings (by T L.)

T L. — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 19:22:00 GMT

My first piercing from done at Tommy's was a rook piercing and it didn't hurt and it didn't swell after the piercing. Honestly I had absolutely no problems with it. My second piercing was a custom ear piercing and I'm excited about it since it's hard to find a piercing parlor that can do such a piercing.

**EDIT**
Originally I gave Tommy T's 5 starts but I'm going to have to dock off 2 stars because I really liked my custom piercing but it never healed properly and it still hurt after having it for four months. I went to different piercing places to ask as to what was wrong with my piercing and they all said the same thing, it wasn't pierced properly that's why it healed with bumps and extra skin tissue. I don't know whether that is true or not but I had to finally take out the piercing because it was painful and getting obviously unattractive. However, my rook piercing is still in good shape and I love it.

5 Stars: They had just what I wanted! (by Dani A.)

Dani A. — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 21:04:00 GMT

I have been searching for a nice piece of nose jewelry that is in the shape of a star. I live in New Mexico and could not find a shop that had one. I even asked one of the tattoo shops if they could order it and they said they had not seen one. I was sure it existed! I was on vacation in California and someone referrred me to Tommy T's. I was told if there was anywhere that might have it it would be there. Well, they had a couple different ones actually. There was a medical implant grade surgical steel one with a gem in the center (they had a bunch of different colors), and there was also 18K nickel free gold. I went for the one that was white gold and I had Tommy change it out for me. I couldn't be happier!

5 Stars: First Piercing (by Nick C.)

Nick C. — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 23:18:00 GMT

I recently decided to get a piercing. A friend of mine might have breast cancer so my buddies and I thought we would do something special to show our love and support for her. We thought we would get our left nipple pierced. At first it was supposed to be 4 of us, but 2 chickened out haha! My friend gets all her piercings at Tommy T's and she said if we wanted to get pierced for her that we should go have Tommy do it. There was a tattoo parlor my other friend got his tattoo at that also has a piercer, but she said that the jewelry they pierce with at Tommy T's is the best quality and she trusts their work. I was a little nervous, but the piercing was over in a couple seconds and it wasn't that bad. The jewelry selection is huge. We wanted our jewelry to have a Lucky meaning. I asked if they had jewelry with a Shamrock on it and they did! The other guy who got pierced got a ring with a Horshoe on it. Our friend was so happy that we got pierced to support her. If you want a shop that is professional and knows what they are doing go to Tommy T's. If I ever get the urge to get another piercing I'm going back to see Tommy. Thanks man!

5 Stars: Kewl Piercings (by Audrey A.)

Audrey A. — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 15:16:00 GMT

I have gotten 3 piercings there and I still want more. Living in Lakewood I haven't been able to find a good shop in the area and then I went to Tommy T's in Huntington Beach. They have a wide selection of jewelry to chose from and they are really good. The place is clean and the people there are very nice. They will help you make the right decision on what type of piercing and what type of jewelry is the best. I had a piercing done at another Tattoo shop in Orange and was not impressed and I haven't gone anywhere else since. I will return to Tommy if I get any more piercings. It does not matter how far you need to travel to get your piercing done right.

5 Stars: The only place to go in the Orange County! (by Jane C.)

Jane C. — Sun, 27 May 2007 22:55:00 GMT

Hi, I'm Jane (the one on the left), and I got my outer conch pierced. I got a barbell with Lavender gemstones. The piercing was fun!

Hi, I'm Grace (the one on the right), and I got my rook pierced. I got a curved barbell with teal gems. My piercing is stellar!

We drive from Cerritos to go out to Huntington Beach to go to Tommy T's. It's a clean, professional, and sterile place. It was really important for us to get jewelry that was really small and also good quality. The customer service is very good, and Tommy T is great. He was very patient and helpful. He showed us all different sizes of gemstones and also explained how the jewelry was bio-compatible so it heals quicker and is not irritating to our tissue. Very good to know! We plan on possibly getting more piercings, and bringing our friends along!

Thanks Tommy T!

5 Stars: My new plugs! (by andrew f.)

andrew f. — Fri, 18 May 2007 21:08:00 GMT

I like how they take their piercings very seriously. I've seen some pretty ridiculous piercing shops. Tommy T's always has a wide variety of jewelry. You can find body jewelry anywhere including at the mall, but Tommy carries medical quality jewelry as well as all the cheap stuff. He only pierces you with the medical quality. My ex-girlfriend got pierced at another shop with an industrial grade piece of jewelry and her nose was all messed up. I took her in to see Tommy to have it switched out. I trust the piercers there because they are good at what they do. I went in to get my ears pierced at a large gauge. I ended up getting pierced at a 4 gauge which is pretty big. I was a little concerned about the pain, and as the piercer said "it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be"! I think I am done getting pierced...for now.

5 Stars: The shop to go to for the best quality jewelry! (by Cliff & Chris A.)

Cliff & Chris A. — Sun, 29 Apr 2007 15:03:00 GMT

My wife and I have been going to Tommy T's for the last 3 years. Professionalism, cleanliness, and quality are the key things we like about Tommy's shop. We have no complaints! The only thing that could be better is how far we drive to get there. We live in Yucaipa, so it takes us about an hour, but it's well worth the trip. Nobody else carries medical implant steel. In our area there is no one who specializes in body piercing. There are some tattoo parlors, but the piercers were young and inexperienced. I've been asking a lot of people about where they got pierced and the grade of metal is low quality and I have seen a lot of people with keloids and infections from their jewelry. We send them in to see Tommy! The jewelry is very important and we find that Tommy T's has the best selection of jewelry and they have a lot more information about aftercare. No other place supplied aftercare or had any substantial information about healing our piercings. We love getting pierced by Tommy and would never go anywhere else

Well I've been to Tommy T's 3 times over a number of years and have only good thing to say about the Tommy T's crew. They rock, they know what they're doing and the place is clean and neat. Tommy T is very helpful and genuinely concerned about his clients. I have traveled the world from Switzerland to Thailand and I always get pierced by Tommy!
thanks,
Michel

5 Stars: It hurts so good! (by Ian H.)

Ian H. — Sun, 04 Feb 2007 21:41:00 GMT

Good prices and the shop is clean. Been going there since I moved from Germany to Orange County four years ago. All of the piercings that I have had done have all healed fine and considering that I've had 11 of them that's pretty good. Still have all my piercings and always go back for more...

5 Stars: Honest (by nicole s.)

nicole s. — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 21:12:00 GMT

i like that fact that they are very striaght forward and honest. one of the reasons i always go back is because the piercers know what they are talking about and i never have any problems with any of the work they have done. also they always have the best quality of jewelry at the best prices.

5 Stars: Great for old ladies! (by Niki C.)

Niki C. — Sat, 06 Jan 2007 19:36:00 GMT

I've been going to Tommy T's for 5 years for myself and my teenage children. They are immaculate and I trust their judgement and professionalism. I had some cartilage piercings and my navel pierced there. When I went in to have my navel pierced I was shocked when I saw that Tommy T would be doing my piercing. I didn't know whether I should bow or not! I mean having the owner do my piercing was amazing. He's been piercing for so long and he did a great job on my navel. My daughter had her navel and her industrial pierced and she loves them. I would never go anywhere else! I would recommend them to anyone!

5 Stars: In search of a good piercing shop? (by Cassandra S.)

Cassandra S. — Tue, 26 Dec 2006 17:47:00 GMT

If you're thinking about getting pierced at any other shop than Tommy T's- don't. I have been a regular customer of their shop and it's because they know what they're doing. Their jewelry selection is huge, the shop and piercing area are spotless, and all the piercers are knowledgeable and friendly.
I recently had my monroe swell and close up and I waited until I was back in California so I could have Tommy look at it.
So, if you're thinking about getting pierced, make sure you go down to Tommy T's.

5 Stars: ONLY TRUST TOMMY T'S WITH YOUR BODY!!! (by Brandon M.)

Brandon M. — Sat, 23 Dec 2006 19:21:00 GMT

After friends horrific piercing stories, I must insist that you always go to Tommy T's for all your body piercing needs. My piercer, Lucy is always available to answer any questions...trained by the infamous Tommy himself who's been piercing in Orange County for 16 years! They have the best selection of hard to find body jewelry, black chrome, diamond nostril jewelry, nipple shields, organic plugs...the works... Trust no other because they are the best. Some of my friends from down in San Diego only wait to visit so they can see Tommy and Lucy and update their body piercings. They're the best, don't trust the rest.

5 Stars: Nina loves Tommy T's (by Nina W.)

Nina W. — Sat, 23 Sep 2006 13:55:00 GMT

Highly professional. I am a cardiac surgical nurse and I am very impressed with Tommy T's impecable cleanliness. Each of their piercing stations has its own autoclave and each instrument has been sterilized. They even wash their hands more than I do. Their selection is the most I have ever seen. My husband and I drive 35 miles from where we live to enjoy their professional services.

5 Stars: I should have gone there the first time! (by Victoria L.)

Victoria L. — Fri, 22 Sep 2006 14:51:00 GMT

The first 2 times I had my navel pierced I had it pierced in a garage. I was young and naive. Both of those times it rejected. The 3rd time I actually went this place in Costa Mesa and they pierced me wth an externally threaded Industrial grade steel curved barbell. Well it rejected in three months. What a waste of money. I went back in to the other shop and all they suggested was to take it out. I just went to Tommy T's and they suggested that I get pierced with an Implant Grade piece of jewelry and that Medical Implant Grade Titanium would be the best option for me. They said that the jewelry I had been pierced with at the place in Costa mesa was a lower grade metal and externally threaded which I should not have been pierced with and that is why it rejected. Why are these shops piercing people with jewelry thats made of metal for Indutrial purposes? The fourth time around my experience with Tommy T's was excellent!

PROS: The shop is professionally set up. Go to them you won't be dissappointed!
CONS: None

PROS: Clean, professional, wide selection of pieces

5 Stars: Word UP...FA SHO (by Jovoni L.)

Jovoni L. — Sat, 09 Sep 2006 21:15:00 GMT

One year ago, I got my belly button pierced at another place in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The gentlemen neglected to provide me with all the information about the piercing, and what it entailed. He also, pierced me with a low grade belly button ring, and did not inform me. My friend recommended that i needed to go to Tommy T's and they informed me that i needed to have implant grade jewelery put in, and that the ring they put in was NOT the correct size. Tommy T's is proffessional, insighful, and knowledagble about their job, and they provide you with the proper procedures that are needed to take care of my piercing. Everyone there has a positve and curteous attitude.

PROS: Knoweldgable personnel, people oriented, customer friendly
CONS:

5 Stars: The best in the whole wide world (by Justina W.)

Justina W. — Sat, 09 Sep 2006 21:07:00 GMT

So, I have gone there three times, and if i liked random piercings everywhere i would come back a million times! They are extremely clean, customer friendly, and always ready to answer the most mundane question no matter what time of day or night! I really love Tommy T's and i recommend any one that is in the market for a piercing go there!

PROS: Cleanliness, jewelry selection, wonderful personnel
CONS:
