Absolutely phenomenal customer service. Respectful, informative, doesnt make you feel rushed, cleanliness is astronomical compared to most places Ive been during pandemic. This was my first time getting piercings done here (forward helix and tragus) and it will be the only place I get pierced, here on out. I had such a wonderful experience, I really felt comfortable here.

Shane was great! I got my lobes done after years of them being closed. Piercing was basically painless and no blood at all. Gave me the correct care sheet and a bottle of cleaner for buying the opal studs. Place was very clean with one person at a time allowed in. He also helped me remove the studs so I could wear whichever earrings I wanted. Will probably come back for other ear piercings. THIS is how ears are ment to be done instead of a gun at claires!!

I would recommend Shane at Mastodon for sure. The place was nice and clean, health precautions being taken and he was very professional an cool to chat with.Im really happy with the way my pearcings look and fit. I had them done over the previous holes and through the scar tissue. It was quick and painless.Shane also hooked me up on the price for my birthday. Ill be getting more work done here in th future.

Wow, fantastic experience with Shane today. I had a fairly unique ear piercing issue and he got everything taken care of with an ideal outcome. So happy I chose to come here. It was well worth it and I would definitely recommend. Shane is a MASTER of his craft and it shows. Thanks Shane!

Ive never been here for a tattoo but, the piercer, Shane, is AMAZING! incredibly professional and informative. Ive been pierced by many people, even trained to be a piercer myself (many years ago), and I will never go anywhere else again.

The best piercing experience you can get in the east valley. Shane is gentle, thoroughly explains what to expect and how to properly care for your piercing. If your anatomy does not support the piercing you wanted he will advise against it, not just take the money. My piercings are looking and feeling great one year later. I highly recommend Mastadon for any piercing or even if you are just curious about it.

Shane is the best. Youd be hard pressed to find a more knowledgeable and professional piercer.

Very professional and down to earth. Shane pierced my nose and Id definitely go back to him in the future for any other piercings.

Ive gone to Shane to get my ears tapered years before but I had such a great experience that I wanted to go back. I not only got my eyebrow pierced this time around, but I also got my ears tapered again since they were closed up. Shane is by far one of the best piercers that ive encountered. He is super thorough, guides you throughout the entire process, and makes you feel comfortable. He takes pride in his work and it shows. I couldnt be happier. I will definitely be going back. Thank you, Shane!

I have known Shane for at least 15 years and would not go anywhere else for a piercing. I dont care how good they say thet are. Shane is the best, a true master at his craft. He is extremely gentle and thorough. And somewhat of a perfectionist which I can appreciate being that I am altering my bodys appearance. I have no doubt that had I gone anywhere else I would have had a very different experience. I barely felt nervous and I owe that 100% to Shane. Mastadon is also incredibly sanitary. I will recommend Shane any time, hands down. See you next time buddy!

I love my nose piercing 😊

I got my second tattoo here a few weeks ago. very friendly staff. extremely knowledgeable and talented. it was very clean and sanitary, so i felt very safe.

You can have Home Depot, but for me... Ace is the place to go. Staff knows what theyre doing and are eager to help.

I went here a few weeks ago to get my nose pierced and it has healed great. It was very clean, and appointments were one person at a time. He was professional and provided thorough education on how to clean and maintain the piercing as well. Would highly recommend this place!

I picked this place out based on the reviews and when they werent open I almost chose to go to another shop but Im so glad I waited! Shane met every expectation and more. My daughter and I both got piercings and Shane took the time to go over everything with us so that we felt comfortable with our choices. He is more concerned with customer satisfaction than the bottom dollar. I appreciate that the shop follows all of the recommended steps for safety, for them and their customers, with requiring masks, booking by appointment only and precautions in cleaning. I will be referring friends and will definitely be back!

Their amazing! @tattoovinnie has the most cleanest line work in the state! And his color is poppin!

I got my ears double pierced for my birthday May of 2020 and they healed perfectly. The piercer (Shaun or Shane) did an amazing job. He made sure to mark my ear, made sure my partner and I both liked where it would end up, and took his time. He was also extremely honest with my partners piercing since there was too much muscle. Instead of just doing he said he didnt feel comfortable and made sure we didnt waste the money on it. I was extremely impressed by his honesty and his upfront approach with us. I highly recommend them!

Absolutely LOVE my piece from Darin Priest. This man is amazing. His eye for detail is incredible & exactly what you want your artist to have.. Everyone I talked to that day was REAL and super friendly. Its your skin, look at all the artist & piercer(s) here 😊

July 3 I had an appointment at 2:45 to get my nose pierced. Shane was very nice and calming during the whole thing. The stories were great and we talked as if I’d known him and he was catching up. I’d recommend his shop to anyone I know and I’d go back for more but just don’t know what yet. Thank you Shane 🙏

I called ahead and got in there quick. Super up front about what to expect and very professional about just a daith piercing. Would recommend this place to anyone wishing for a piercing and is new to getting a piercing done! Will be going back for more.We did have one person ahead of us and due to that they gave me 15% off.

Shane is always very professional and knowledgeable.

The experience was awesome, we looked up local places on yelp, and my husband and I decided on Mastodon. Shane was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He did an awesome job

Shane is an amazing piercer and did a great job for my first piercing. I was really nervous but he was able to put me at ease, he did an amazing quick (almost) painless job, and spent a lot of time with aftercare instructions. The piercing is healing great because of the amazing job he did, I cant recommend Mastodon enough!

My first tattoo and the experience was very pleasant.

Very professional establishment. They were very educated while helping pick out the perfect piercing for both my sister and I, so informative and precise through the entire piercing process (which might I add our artist was so gentle and you could tell he was very experienced), and gave an extensive personalized care regiment for each persons individual lifestyle after piercing to ensure swift and comfortable healing. This piercing parlor is super legit and I would recommend to anyone looking to get a piercing done the right way. If I plan on getting any more piercings I’ll make it a point to fly back down to Arizona and come back to this shop! Most enjoyable piercing experience I’ve had to date.

Friendly staff and very very knowledgeable, dealt with Sean for my first set of new earrings since I got pierced and he was patient and helped me decide what I want to do.

Shane is amazing!! Did my nostril and industrial painlessly :)

Not a very welcoming place. The owner was condescending and didnt really seem to want, my business, at least. I was ready to spend 1000s there. Not after going in and talking to him.

Highly recommend. Staff was awesome and Shane I could tell right away cares more about his customer than a dollar. Over the top awesome service and clean! Definitely going back for more!

Shane was amazing and made me feel so comfortable. Super friendly and professional. Highly recommend to everyone.

Shane is awesome! He is so nice and informative

I love this place so much that I have decided to make it my one & only tat shop. This is where I will be getting my back piece, quarter sleeve, & all my piercings done. So far I have been here twice for piercings. The guys who do the piercings are amazing. I looked at the artists work & am looking forward to getting started on my tattoos. This shop has great prices, friendly artists who do amazing work, convenient hours, & its clean. I highly recommend it!

Got more ink work from Pam here. Her art and tattoo work is absolutely amazing! She does such an amazing job.

Absolutely amazing! I had Shaun and he was extremely sweet and professional. My piercing is doing beautifully and healing perfectly. Extremely professional and comfortable place, especially considering I got a more intimate piercing. I HIGHLY recommend this gem in the rough! Will be going back for more piercing.

I can’t speak highly enough of Shane and his piercing mastery. He was extremely patient and flexible with me switching my appointment a few times, and was very accommodating at every point in the process. Even though I got the appointment time wrong, he was on the way to the shop and moved around his schedule for us, which we really appreciated. He cares about all the finite details of the craft and is very professional, experienced and informed. My friend and I got VCH piercings and we felt very comfortable and confident in our decision; he explained everything in detail and encouraged questions if we had concerns. This piercing experience was the best I’ve ever had, and we had a great time talking with Shane while he worked. I definitely recommend Mastodon for anyone looking for literally any kind of piercing. I will definitely be back for more! Thanks again Shane 🤘🏻

Amazing place! The boo and I got our tragi pierced by Sean. He fit us in the same day I called and made it a great experience for us. Super quick, painless and the prices are beyond fair and affordable. Sean knows what hes doing, hes very knowledgeable and calm. Couldnt have asked for more, we wont be going anywhere else ever again 😃P.S.- I dont write reviews.. so me writing this means the place is the bomb! Thank u!

Shawn is an amazing piercer. He recently did a dermal anchor near my temple, it was placed perfectly. A couple months ago he did my snakebites as well. He was able to stretch one of them back open, but I had him repierce the other. All of them have healed up lovely! My husband also had his nose and snakebites done by Shawn. Hes very knowledgeable, and takes his time to explain everything to you. Will definitely be going back for my other piercings!

Awsome place! The atmosphere is really nice and chill. They have really dope and classic jewellery. Shawn is a great piercer, very informative and talented. All 6 of my Helixes look great thanks to him. I gotta say that H20 Ocean helps so much!

Best shop around. Good conversation, no pressure environment. 5 bags of popcorn without a doubt

I got the daith piercing done by Shane back in November 2019 due to migraines. Ive gotta say, it worked. Im so happy I found this place and went to Shane to get it done. I have not experience a bad migraine ever since. Im truly thankful.

This shop is awesome!! Everyone is so nice and Shane definitely knows what hes doing. I was so nervous about getting my tongue pierced but he made me feel so comfortable and explained everything to me. Shane is very knowledgeable and hes good at what he does. My friends told me to choose a shop by word of mouth but I chose this shop based on reviews and Im SO GLAD I did! I will be going back for any future piercings or tattoos!

Knowledgeable and helpful staff. Fantastic artwork. Good prices. Only downside is lack of parking spaces.

To start I highly reccomend this place. If you need piercing I suggest going here. They are so incredibly professional, they ask questions to insure that you for sure want it, and to make sure of where you want it. If I get more piercings I will be going here from now on.

Laney and Sean(?) are amazing! She does great tattoo work and he does great body piercings. Ive gone back to the shop several times and will continue to go for all my work.

Shane did my tongue piercing and he was awesome! he was very informative, and he laid out perfect expectations of not only what was to come but exactly what he wanted me to do while he was piercing. the shop is very clean and definitely worth the visit! I bought tongue rings in bulk off Amazon and I brought them with me and Shane even measured those for me so I knew they were the right size!definitely recommend going here, and I know I will be back!

I went to this place yesterday to get a nose piercing. I was very nervous as this being my first piercing since I got my ears pierced as a baby. When I walked in the shop, Shane immediately made me feel welcome. He was patient and talked me through everything. Was very knowledgeable about how to pierce correctly so that the piercing would heal, how to care for the piercing, etc. I would definitely recommend this place especially Shane!

Great service, great prices, and very friendly staff! Sean pierced my ears and did an awesome job. He was professional and had a lot of attention to detail. Very clean shop and I will be going back !

I recently got my nose pierced here by Shane. The shop was clean and the atmosphere was great. The staff was knowledgable and answered any questions I had. I enjoyed that Shane would go over the entire piercing process before it happened. The prices were reasonable as well. I will recommend this place to friends and family and I will be returning soon.

Very friendly staff that takes time to make sure that the entire experience is perfect

Sean was amazing really helped me out making a previous piercing I had! Can tell he loves what he does & truly cares about his customers! Will definitely be coming back for future piercings

Nice staff and very informative

I had a great experience getting my nose piercing. This place is clean and they are so professional, patient, and thorough at Mastodon. Very good place!

Theyre amazing!! I love going to them. Shane is a amazing piercer. All the people there are fantastic at what they do.

The people and experience here is what makes this place awesome. Youre in good hands!

Great place, clean, friendly staff. Shane runs a very professional studio. Great jewelry selection, too!! I went there after seeing someone whod had a piercing done there and I made the right choice!!

Great place, cool people and excellent work. Laney did an amazing job on my tattoo. Can not wait to have her do my next one. Definitely the place to go if youre interested in getting a tattoo here in mesa.

Shane and Sean are awesome! They clearly love what they do and pride themselves on high quality service and expertise. I recommend Mastodon over any other piercing shop.

Professional, talented, and honest. Had my tongue pierced for almost a decade, but left it out a few weeks and thought it had closed for good. Usually I could restretch it myself with a sharp taper, but had no luck after repeated attempts and thought it was gone for good this time. Was ready to hand over money and even suffer a new piercing/leftover scar. BUT Sean skillfully stretched the piecing (didnt even hurt!) and restored the ring to its rightful place. Communication was great from start to finish. Not to mention this was extremely affordable and the cost was conveyed to me upfront. So greatful for the quality experience—this sort of work is not something I want to take risks on and am glad to find a local, dependable place. Thanks again Sean!

Very professional and clean. Very informative and expert in his art.

Always thorough. Always professional & kind. Only place Ive had my piercings done for the last 17 years. Shaun is Gregs best protégé. Love Mastodon!

El is the best. Exactly what we wanted. Best day ever! Goin back for more.

Got my tattoo done here a few years ago and i love it! Brandon was amazing and I highly recommend them if youre thinking about getting a tattoo. Great prices and incredible work

Great service! Shane took his time properly explaining the process and the aftercare, he is very considerate and makes sure the piercing is exactly what you want.

Thank you guys! Shane did an awesome job! I love the look! No need for make up with these two eyebrows done yay! I recommend this place-very clean and great hospitality!

Mary smells of alcohol, not reliable.

Shane has excellent bed-side manner. Very caring/compassionate. Highly recommend for piercings

Travis was awesome. Fast. And amazing

Had alot to offer and alot og options. Very nice

Shane did a great job with my dermal piercing on my hip. Hes extremely professional and maintains a high level of sanitary protocol. Im going back in the fall for another dermal.

Got my lip pierced by Shane and he was completely professional. I would not got to anyone else after a few mishaps with other shops. If there were more stars to give I would.

Have had 13 piercings done here and will continue to go back. Seriously professional and knowledgeable piercers.

Misleading from the outside but a very pleasant shop. The piercer/owner? Was very informative and nice, even when I tried to put in my new jewelery inside the shop. I was reffered here and will definitely be coming back.

I went in just to talk about reviving an old tattoo. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. Thanks to Sam for bringing old ink back to new life! Id definitely recommend him!!

Tom the guest artist created a perfect vision through his creative mind thank you for the great work

Mastodon Piercing and Tattoo was a wonderful experience. I mainly go here for Mary, she does my tattoos (shes freaking GREAT btw) but I went to get my nose repierced and Shane did an amazing job. He was very friendly, professional and made me feel like I was at home. Very impressed with the service, prices and all around quality of this business!

Vinnie Rodriguez (@tattoovinnie on Instagram), a newer tattoo artist at Mastodon, yelled at and threatened my sister after she complained about an incredibly poor quality tattoo he had just done on her back. The owner of Mastodon, Shane Ocell, is covering the costs of a different artist fixing the tattoo. I recommend Mastodon, but not Vinnie Rodriguez.

Great place, great people. Got referred by a friend and by seeing the professionalism first hand, I couldnt go elsewhere.They do stuff the right way, stop by and find out yourself.

I always feel very comfortable here and loved the outcome every time, be it tattoo or piercing.

Shane is amazing. Very noligable and professional, but also very friendly and kind! Theyve always had amazing service wherever I go there.

Shane OCell is an amazing body piercer. I love the selection of jewelry as well as the professionalism.

Amazing service, great prices! Very clean place. 👍

Shane was amazing! Instead of charging me full price for 3 piercings he saved me almost half the price by just re-stretching my existing holes!!! I would highly recommend them, very professional.

Laney does excellent work. One of my family members has several pieces and they are amazing.

Had the best experience here very professional good serves over all 5 star 😊

Their piercer Shawn is absolutely amazing, I highly recommend him!

Great place to go get a piercing ask for Sean very professional and friendly staff

They really know what they are doing there and are friendly

Got my belly button pierced here. Quick & easy, it looks great, and I got all the info I need. Thanks!

Great place and service good people

Awesome staff, super friendly and knowledgeable. Made me feel completely comfortable and my piercing looks great :)

Got a cover up tattoo from Vinnie today and man I would highly recommend him the work he did was out standing the color the detail everything about it is bad azz work if ever needing work ask for him the price also was really good I will be going back to him again really soon

Very knowledgeable staff and extremely humorous and happy. Love it!!

Very informative, super clean, extremely precise, and SOO welcoming. I got my nipples pierced by Shane and it was the best experience at a shop to date!

Such great service when getting my nose pierced!

I was pleased with the professionalism at this shop compared to other people I spoke with in the search for a piercing shop. I plan to return for more work.

Got my cover up done there VINNE IS THE MAN...Rcomend for sure great people

Eek 😱

Friendly, down to earth, knowledgeable, and professional piercers. Definitely recommend.

I received a small tattoo here and my artist wasgreat to work with. Its a shame I cant remember his name.

My GF swears by this place, and the piercers are pretty friendly and knowledgeable.
