Body Piercing

An age-old tradition in many ancient cultures, a thriving new fashion in modern times.

Body Manipulations has been piercing since 1989. The first piercing studio in san francisco and oldest piercing shop in the nation. We never sold haircuts, bongs, clothing, incense, massage, psychic reading, records, statues, or toe-rings. Piercing is what we have focused on since our begining. Through the years we have strived to provide a professional healthy attitude executed with experience. You can expect to find a large selection of jewelry in steel, gold, and organics. We are known for our distinguished selection of fine gemstones and gold.

If you are considering coming in to get a new piercing, make sure you are prepared. You may want to eat something before coming in to help keep your blood sugar up. For optimal healing, get pierced when you are healthy and not healing anything else major in your body. If you are pregnant or even nursing, you should not get pierced or tattooed. Don't come drunk or under the influence of any recreational drugs, this only makes it hurt more and can make you more swollen than usual making placement innaccurate. Come in relatively clean, if you just got back into town from camping, you may want shower before letting us get up close and personal. Bring a few extra dollars to tip your piercer.
