The Exotic Body opened its doors in 1990 with the vision of being Sacramento's first piercing studio. Michael Hare, the senior piercer and owner of The Exotic Body, had set new standards in the piercing industry by offering his clients only the highest quality and largest selection of body jewelry, and the extensive knowledge of unique and unusual body modifications. After sixteen years in the piercing industry, The Exotic Body's reputation as a safe, clean, professional studio has spread across the United States and into Europe and Japan, where Michael has taught numerous seminars on body piercing.The standard of quality at The Exotic Body is prevalent in the large selection of high end and out of the ordinary jewelry, and in the well educated staff who pride themselves on customer service. Everyone who works at The Exotic Body is fully trained in blood borne pathogens, cross contamination prevention, CPR, and First Aid. We have created an environment that makes our customers feel comfortable, we definitely have an attitude free shop Says Michael, who knows the importance of helping clients walk through the fear of a piercing or tattoo, be it their first or fiftieth time. Not only is Michael the owner and Senior piercer at The Exotic Body, he also teaches seminars on body piercing. With sixteen years of professional body piercing and body modification experience, his week long seminars are a great way to learn new techniques and gain valuable hands on experience.

I called initially to inquire ...

I called initially to inquire about two dermal piercings on my upper back, and the woman I spoke with on the phone was super friendly and cheerful. She immediately let me speak with Mike, the piercer. I only waited 10 - 15min. He explained the possible risks (cleaning my upper back dermals is so freaking difficult...) Plus, he was so kind, knowledgable, easygoing, and genuinely excited about his work. He was very careful in marking the two dots where I was to be pierced and was very conscientious of maintaining hygiene (changing gloves, multiple cleanings, etc). And, the actual piercings didn't even hurt! Just a slight pinch! I think Mike's is just good, haha. Plus, my friend who came in with me wanted to get something done on her ear, and he took care of her as well! She was tottering on the idea of an industrial, but Mike suggested a conch, and I whole heartedly approve. Soooo glad Mike could suggest a more unique piercing for my friend. :) To top it off, the woman at the desk gave me GREAT advice on piercing aftercare. Overall, this place is so incredibly. AND parking is super easy out front too! AND they have an awesome selection of jewelry. Okay, no more and's.



Yep. I will definitely be returning to The Exotic Body for all of my future piercing needs and bringing as many friends as I can.

Another Happy Customer

Not sure that they need my glowing review to throw on the pile, but I just want to let The Exotic Body know that their professionalism and their friendliness are both absolutely noticed. Mike put me at ease, while putting a needle through my tongue. I highly recommend them and I'll be using them exclusively for my piercing and tattoo indulgences.

The only place I will ever go...

I only recommend going to Samantha at the Exotic Body! Shes such an rad person and best of all a talented piercer. All the other piercers I have ever gone to seem so unknowledgeable about what they do its ridiculous. She broke everything down to me step by step and was a big help! I went in wanting to get a surface piercing on my arm but was really drawn to the dermal anchor that was on Samantha's chest. So I ended up getting a dermal anchor with a little rhinestone on my wrist. It healed up fast and i couldnt be happier. As for the rest of the shop everyone there was really nice and attitude free which is a big plus. If youre ever in Sacramento you need to see Samantha!
