Since moving to San Diego about 2 1/2 years ago I’ve gotten 7 ear piercings, and Brielle (Bri) at Rose Body Piercing has done 5 of them. I was introduced to Rose Body Piercing by a friend who told me that it was one of the best piercing experiences she’s had. My newest piercing is a conch piercing (inner ear) that I…

Evan is incredible. He was very patient while we selected jewelry that would compliment my ear shape and was so knowledgeable with all the questions I asked. Seriously such skilled piercer and hands down the easiest and quickest piercing experience ever.

Legit wish I had more ears so they could give me more perfection. The best of the best. Super gentle handed. So patient and informative. Stunning, high quality jewelry which makes all the difference with the healing process. Genuinely the best shop I’ve ever gone to and I’ve been getting pierced since I was 16 and I’m now 29.

The staff were PHENOMENAL!! So welcoming and transparent about pricing and what piercings would look the best. Took good care when it was time to pierce and walked me through aftercare and how to handle my new piercing. Amazing place, 10/10. Jesse was an amazing piercer :)

I love this place. I started my piercing journey in July 2024 with my first helix. Now I have 13 holes. Evan and his whole crew are terrific. They are patient but extremely knowledgeable. I am forever grateful for this discovering this shop. Please come here for all your needs.

I can’t thank Rose Piercing enough. My daughter had a difficult experience with piercing in the past, so we wanted a place we could trust. Evan and the team were so friendly and understanding. Evan carefully assessed her ear anatomy, explained the process, and made everything feel safe and comfortable. The studio…

I came to this piercing spot because my double helix I had gotten else where was extremely irritated and had a bunch of build up and was starting to embed. It wasn’t anything I could fix on my own. I worked with Evan and had the most amazing experience, I was so scared thinking it would hurt, but he removed the…

Evan was so accommodating to me and my friends. He gave me really sound suggestions for placement and he made us all feel safe, healthy and comfortable. If I lived in SD, I would for sure come back for all my piercings needs.

Great experience getting a third earlobe piercing. Gentle and clean. There was some change of plans due to initially wanting an eyebrow piercing though I understood that the right anatomy was needed. Evan was honest with me and very kind. Would come again! Thank you!!!

I’ve never been to a piercing studio that took so much time to make sure I was getting the right jewelry that fits my anatomy and The Rose has the best jewelry selection I’ve ever seen. Jesse and Carla are the best. This is the only studio I trust in SD. Highly recommend!!

Evan was great! I searched for piercing places near me but didn’t want to just go to the first place that came up, so after a little bit of digging I found rose. I liked that it was a piercing only studio. When I called to ask questions, Evan was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions, and was able to fit…

Evan is such a careful and professional piercer. He was really patient and helpful in picking out jewelry as well as giving advice about styling and placement. I love my new pieces, how they all flow together and am already planning what to add next! Overall a great experience, and lots of beautiful, hand picked pieces to look through.
