This place is beautiful! Not what you would expect a typical tattoo shop to look like, so many different choices for GOOD quality jewelry. The piercer Valente is amazing. So thorough, so clean, and quick! Hardly felt a thing. Ive had several body piercings, and he has truly been the fastest and most respectful piercer I have ever been to.
I’ve had my nose pierced for about 3 months now and it is healing beautifully, thanks to Xochi!She really took her time and made sure she had everything clean/set up. I work in the medical field so-I have a different level of appreciation for that kind of thing🌞I will have to get back in to get the other side pierced❤️
Primal Decor is by far the best place for piercing any part of your body. The staff is professional and extremely well trained. The covid -19 precautions are far beyond the state mandates.The facilities are incredibly clean and very orderly. I can say with authority Primal Decor has the best selection of earrings in Humboldt county. Possibly Northern California! From inexpensive to exquisite the team has an amazing selection. They also do tattoos and the artists are very experienced ans in high demand.One of the best body decoration stores I’ve ever been in. So happy it’s here.
Friendly, knowledgeable and experienced staff. Stunning jewelry collection
The lady that did my piercings was super sweet and always made sure I was ready before each piercing but over all everyone who was there was super helpful and super nice
Got my first body piercing here. So comfortable and easy.
Great place, very clean and professional
All of my tattoos are from Luis at Primal Decor! Everyone is always friendly and helpful. They will take a lot of time making sure that you are satisfied, informed and comfortable. Very clean. I always recommend PD to everyone I know when they want a tattoo or piercing.
Louis did a excellent job. I love my tattoo. I will be going back. Primal décor is the best. You can get your jewellery there also. I am very happy.
Helpful, very friendly, and knowledgable
One of the only good places around from what Ive seen and read from local reviews. Can be very pricey compared to other piercing shops, but will not have the same guarantee of quality experience. I went during covid (even pricer, but worth it) to get two second lobe piercings plus the jewelry and had a great experience. Amazing piercer, friendly, precise (literally measured with a small ruler to make sure they were even), and walked me right through the process making sure I was prepared. Also VERY COVID SAFE.
Incredibly clean, professional, and informative. I was so comfortable with the piercers skill and ability. They were very respectful and the piercings happened with perfect precision and skill. Best shop Ive been to in a long time.
Very friendly, clean, knowledgeable. Had a great experience overall 😀🙌 will be coming back👍
The people are very kind have been several times. Never seem to disappoint. A tad pricey but for quality holes🤦🤗
I’ve been coming here for a couple years now because I absolutely love Dan’s work, he’s done 3 tattoos for me and even after moving 5 hours away I still make the drive up whenever I want a new one because I trust his work and love the environment at Primal
Very nice staff. Knowledgeable, safe, very clean.
They did my cartilage and nose piercing and I love them! They were very professional, clean and answered all of my questions (even the dumb ones!) If I get another piercing, I’m definitely going to them. ❤️
I absolutely ADORE my nose piercing! The style I chose is GORGEOUSLY CREATED. The staff here are PRECIOUS! I am so very Grateful. I feel beautiful and thank you Primal Decor. Im already thinking of a tat and next piercing
Very professional and helpfulClean atmosphere
Dan is the absolute best. My tattoo is beyond perfect. I love it. His colors are amazing. Would definitely go back and refer bhim to everyone
I love the professionalism at Primal as well as the talented people who work there.
Daniel was great to work with and is a talented artist. Our visions of the tattoo both aligned and I am super happy with the end result.
Crazy expensive
Today marks the 5th and final session to complete a sleeve Dan has been working on for months. First, lets cover the shop.This shop is top notch. Professional and elegant yet trendy and up beat. Primal has been a staple here for decades providing professional art. There is always a friendly smile to greet you and help you out.Dan is an amazing artist and an awesome guy. I was nervous in the beginning, trusting such a large piece in the hands of someone I dont know. But you have to build somewhere. I gave Dan several items of interest to through together and he compiled an amazing layout for the sleeve. Fantastic lines and coloring that flow beautifully. Appointments were on time each month giving ample time for healing.I recommend not only this shop, but Dan for tattoo work. I am speechless for how happy I am with this piece. Until next time Primal Decor.
Clean, friendly. And great service. Got my daith piercing here. The head piercer is very good at her job. If youre looking to get a piercing but low on funds, they offer an apprentice piercer for a fraction of the cost.
Gorgeous high end jewelry and great service! Very kind staff and lovely selections.
They offered professional help with my piercing and told me it was done wrong and I really appreciated it 😭😭. Once it is healed I will schedule an appointment to get it re-pierced there.The place was clean, welcoming, and in mint condition.
Came here for a Monroe piercing and the staff was super awesome and helpful!! Great prices, clean atmosphere. Also, kid friendly!!
If people are going to give this place one star they should really explain why. I have been going here since I was 15 and am now 20. I have gotten all of my piercings and tattoos done by the fabulous staff and recommend Primal to everyone I talk to about body modifications. Clean, educated, and wonderful energy and great personalities. No where else can compare!
Been getting tattooed and pierced here for over a decade. I love Jennifer and the staff. Super friendly all around just amazing people very helpful and are super sanitary.
The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. The best place to get a piercing in Humboldt hands down. Ive only had wonderful experiences here and recommend this place to all my friends.
The only place in the area to carry quality jewelry that is absolutely crucial for a healthy piercing.
Jennifer is a real pro. Everyone is ultra nice. Not too cool for school. Just the best piercing joint in Humboldt.
I havent gotten a piercing here, but their very informative and my friends have gotten piercings from them and theyve had no problems. A little pricey though
Only people I trust with my body for tattoos or piercings. Luis is amazing he has done all 7 of my tattoos. Just love my work on my body.
Professional and knowledgable staff, extremely clean and safe environment, and excellent selection of piercings.
Valente pierced my nose. I haven’t had a piercing since I was 9. He was the most calming wonderful guy! He was extremely nice and very professional. He was precise and made sure it was perfect. The pierceing was flawless! I honestly can’t say one bad thing except..it HURT! Haha!
My daughter had her ears pierced here. She was 7 and wanted them, so we took her to primal. The lady was very patient and explained everything to my daughter. At the end, my daughter was shocked how near painless it was.
Dan did a bee tattoo for me. I specifically told him I did not like one of the colors he wanted to use for the flower. The tat was going around my elbow so I could not watch what he was doing. Not only did he use rhe ugly color I told him not to use, he also put fat, sloppy green ink lines where it was supposed to be black fine lines. The bee disappears into the flower. Its the worst tatto I have ever seen. When I called to complain what a horrible job Dan did, I was told if I ever stepped foot on their property again they would call police. Dan has done some nice tats, just not great and in my case he did a lousy job. He acts like he should have artistic freedom. Hey Dan, if you want the say in what and how you do art, buy a canvas and have at itBut when you are using human skin, do what you are told. Arrogant to say the least.
Best place for piercings, can’t speak for the tattoo artists as I have not gotten one here. Friendly staff, knowledgeable and willing to answer questions.
Got a tattoo here and enjoyed my experience very much! Definelty plan on coming back for more
I scheduled a consultation with Luis for a tattoo. The consultation went fine and I was excited to get my tattoo fixed. He told me to research what I wanted and send him some pictures so he could draw it up for me. Well I sent him an email with a ton of ideas and didnt get a response. After waiting for 2 weeks I emailed him just to double check he received it and he confirmed he did. That was the last I heard from him. 4 emails later and 2 months with no response and I have gone elsewhere. I felt like he didnt feel like my tattoo was worth his time and just blew me off. Not very professional in my opinion
Best tattoo shop in Humboldt. Thanks Dan for all your amazing work.
I got my first tattoo here done by Dan Dozier. I cant imagine a better place to get one done. All of the staff members were very nice and informative. A few of them even came in during and after my session to see the tattoo. Dan did an amazing job turning the idea that I came to him with into a tattoo. It looks better than I ever could have hoped. My only small complaint is the lack of a chair in the room. Having to lay flat on my stomach with my arm out stretched for 2 hours got a little uncomfortable, but other than that my experience was perfect.
First tattoo exactly what I wanted! I love it! Luis is the best! Im hooked now! 😊
Dan is my go to in town now.
Very pleased with customer service, Jen is an amazing piercer and always makes me feel exceptionally treated… Her professionalism yet comfortable peer interaction is very impressive and overall I feel very comfortable returning
The best piercing experience I ever had!
Always the most professional, clean and friendliest! Will always go there for any piercings
Their artist and the whole staff was wonderful and I enjoyed their company
Great service people oriented great hygiene & technique!
Beautiful selection of jewelry, knowledgeable, friendly staff.. Great prices-what more can you ask for?
I get everything done here!!! Love Luis and Jen and Valente! I would never go anywhere else.
Love the environment and the personnel. They are super helpful and the artists are amazing.
If you want to make your mom cry, and get some great body adornment Primal Decor is the best place in Humboldt County
Fun and friendly artists wih high quality work.
Wide variety of body jewelry and a super helpful staff.
All around amazing shop. Cleanliness, professionalism and workmanship are all top notch.
Helpful, knowledgeable staff. Reasonable price.
Ive gotten multiple piercings at Primal Decore and aways had a great experience couldnt have had a better experience anywhere. Amazing staff as well.
Very nice people. Do good work
I love this place, the piercers are very nice and friendly, the shop is very clean And the proceedures are very sanitary
Staff gave Fantastic service
Every time I have gone in for a piercing I am treated with nothing short of professionalism and friendliness. You guys are awesome!
One would probably consider me well-seasoned at this point. I have visited 9+ different shops for more tattoos and piercings than can reasonably be counted, and none of them come close to the experience at Primal Decor.For one, it is private. They do not use screens or booths, or just have open space-- They actually have separate rooms. If your piece requires any amount of undress, this will likely be a comfort. Even if that is not the case for you, it is definitely nice to avoid the passers-by creeping up mid-session to comment and observe.Their equipment is also very professional, something I did not appreciate until I went to a different shop, and an artist stuck a paper towel and saran wrap over their finished work. Primal also uses designated chairs, if I remember correctly, and it will make a difference as far as comfort goes.Their selection of jewelry is pretty great, and they do in-house anodizing. My misgiving here is that I have run into the same quality of starter/standard/no-frills jewelry at a less expensive price, but that was in Portland. That aside, the head piercer will work with you on complex projects, and is a seasoned veteran, making the entire process pleasant and smooth.I have only been tattooed by Luis while here, but I can highly recommend his work. He is excellent at script, and also trees. I have also gone in for dotwork, and been pleasantly surprised by his technique and lack of hassle. The piece he has done with very delicate linework gets compliments nearly all the time. Luis is always quite speedy about things too (Id est: Does not feel the need to take a break to smoke, can go from line work to shading immediately, et cetera), and the rates are very reasonable for the excellent quality. Have a clear goal, and communicate it, and your tattooing experience will go as well as is possible.Shout out to the counter staff, who make an effort with names and pronouns.250+ miles away, and I still want to go back.
Very helpful staff, love my new tattoo!
Great job piercings and beautiful jewelry!
Best tattoo parlor around!
I went there to change my pieces for a long ones, they charge me 65 dollars for the exact same size !!Not really recommend it if you looking for somebody to help you
Awesome employees awesome tattoos!!
Status. Solid. Yes.
Was working on a 3/4 sleeve with Luis and told him I wouldnt be in town long so Id need to get it done kind of fast. He said no prob and Id get priority over first time customers once we get started. That ended up being not true because it took 6 weeks to get my second appointment. I usually only get one month notice at my job and, unbeknownst to me, is usually booked up to a month in advance. Tattoo was coming out ok, not my favorite but it still isnt even finished, and on my last appointment, after making several attempts at scheduling it with him after he swore he would work with me to get it done (Im driving in from SF to let him finish it) he ends up screwing up my appointment by scheduling it on the wrong day. I had already planned on driving back from the city to Eureka to get it so I booked a hotel. So now Ive got to find someone in the city to finish my tattoo (not happy about that) and got screwed out of the $80 for the hotel since he thinks thats my fault and not his. The people at the shop are nice, Ill give it that, but I would go somewhere else in the area for a tattoo because I know there are better shops around than this one. Also, the tattoo artists should use a timer or something because theyll charge you for the time it takes for them messing around talking to you and getting ready. Overall, Id avoid this place
Always very professional and fantastic atmosphere!
Ive seen some great stuff come from this place
Wonderful service and beautiful high quality jewelry
Awesome experience, very professional and friendly!
I cannot fathom how upset I am right now....I am an original customer of the owner & have had ALL of my piercings done at Primal Decor by Jason Whitcomb in the years he first opened . I moved away for almost 10 years, always stopping in when I came to town. Each time admiring how far the business had come, constantly expanding as well as all their amazing work, custom designs, custom jewelry etc. We moved back to Humboldt in November & have been very excited to start getting work done there again. Roughly 6-7 weeks ago my fiancé & I went in to the shop to find out if they would pierce my 17-year-old daughters Daith? After telling me they would with an original birth certificate and a California ID, I then informed them, the light skinned young woman (I dont know her name) that we wanted to have it done together for her birthday and that I would like to schedule an appointment for the both of us. So here we are... today its my daughters 17th birthday. My fiancé took the day off work, losing out on money to provide for our family. He stayed home to watch our 13-month-old while I took my daughter, mind you that it was a complete surprise & I was very excited about it, to get a piercing with me for her birthday present. When we showed up at 4:35 PM today for our appointment I was then told that I only made an appointment for one person. I then broke down in tears. In an attempt to compensate me for their mistake, but still putting it off on me, they offered us appointments w/free jewelry for Tuesday. But wait what about the half off piercing ??? Well Tuesday isnt her birthday, now it is no longer a surprise, I also dont have a babysitter for Tuesday. I am so angry & hurt. I did everything right, planned ahead, made an appt., confirmed the appt., showed up, brought the documents that were required for her to get pierced as a minor. I was even extra excited because piercings were half off today. BUT none of that made any difference for us because they couldnt squeeze me in to get pierced with my daughter for her birthday. I was still being told over and over again by the light skinned young woman that I only made an appointment for one person. Thinking I was crazy I even confirmed with my fiancé that I did indeed make appointments for both of us, Anna and Maddie. I am appalled at her lack of consideration for a customer, an original customer, especially a customer that was upset by something that she, an employee did/didnt do, her lack of paying attention to detail, nor giving correction information as well as her lack of accountability. Im pretty sure, in my own experiences that is, that customer service makes the world go round. As Paying customers, we help keep businesses open and operating. Not that they need me to pay for services there to stay open but the end goal is to build a consistent clientele and hope that their customer is be pleased with their service so they will return for more as well as refer them to family & friends. Am I wrong?
Excellent crew, clean and professional. A+
Great customer service awesome staff
I got an industrial from Jennifer. Its a bit expensive, but this is something worth paying for
Whats not to like. 100% satisfied and plan to return.
The only place to find premium service and products for all piercing and tattoos on the North Coast.
Kewl place
Clean, professional and friendly. It was my first experience getting a piercing. I will be back for more!
