Outer Limits Tattoo & Piercing 2981 Bristol Street, Costa Mesa, CA 92626

"I was so happy to find this shop but unfortunately after my last “appt” I won’t be returning! Got my philtrum done a month ago by Gregg and despite the appt going well, the follow up did not! Started having issues with the piercing about 25 days after! So made an appt to get it looked at by Gregg! He simply glanced at it and said it was fine! Well the next morning it wasn’t! It was embedding, luckily I went to another shop where the piercer put in a longer bar and explained everything to how and why that might have happened! Reason for my one star is because if a shop offers “check up appts” especially when the client is having discomfort, maybe the piercer should actually spend time looking at it instead of just a quick glance and send you off!"

"Awesome experience. Super easy to set up an appointment online to get pierced. Ended up seeing Gregg who was super knowledgeable and helpful in guiding me towards a piercing for my ear that would be best for my anatomy. He walked me through every step and I walked out with a helix and forward helix that look awesome. If you looking a place with exceptional experience and quality, this is the the place! I've been to both Outer Limits locations a few times and haven't had a bad experience yet. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a piercing and will definitely come back again in the future!"

"SHADY! DO NOT GO. Purchased over $300 dollars for 14k studs. A few weeks later I was very confused to notice my backing was not 14k, but an iridescent titanium!!! The woman on the phone said that it is not there standard procedure to use 14k backings, that they were trying to save me $$$ by using titanium backings. Are you kidding!? They not only did not disclose this upfront, they automatically gave me backing of a completely different color, and cheaper material. I said who has ever been to a store that sells jewelry, and doesn't not include the backings if you buy studs. You literally can't wear studs without the backing! It's half the jewelry. You would think that given the 7-8x the mark up you already pay, that you would at least get the other half in the same material, right?! Keep in mind, you have to buy their jewelry no matter what. You cannot bring in your own earrings. I told the woman on the phone that this should have been disclosed ahead of time. She said she would pass on my message to the piercer. This also did not make sense, because my piercer was not the same person who sold me the jewelry at the register. In the end, she would not pass along my request to the actual owner, only to the piercer which does no good. She would also not give me 14k backings for the 14k studs I purchased. I would have to purchase "the bottoms" in her words separately. (See picture below)"

"Have gotten tattooed by Russ most recently and Mario in the past. Outstanding work from both guys. Service has always been great and they’re always accommodating when I’m in. Absolutely my #1 shop."

"Had an amazing experience piercing my ear here. Gregg is awesome, very professional and informative. The jewelry he helped me pick looks so lovely, would definitely come back!"
