Lefty’s Tattoo and Body Piercing

Got all 5 of my tattoos here, and decided to come back again today for my sternum piercings. Johnny did a fantastic job, as always, and the price was great. Shop is clean, Johnny is cool af, and the work is always on point. What else could you want in a shop?

First tat. Had my first tat done its been 6 months in the making trying to figure out the right pieces. Its a tribal tatto with a black panther as the main piece.

Got my naval pierced, a week later it got very red, swollen, & irritated. I knew it was bc the barbell was to small (so I couldn’t clean it properly). I called, told him (Johnny I think?) the situation, went in & he switched me to a bigger size & gave me the smaller barbell all for free! He was quick & very nice both times I went in

Amazing. I had an Ankh and Cross done while here! The artist was patient and professional. I’m itching to come back for more and more!

Got my double helix done here in December! The piercer was AMAZING! I walked in just randomly and she was just finishing up with someone else. I have A LOT of piercings so I know what should be done and she was very professional and clean. PAINLESS!!! Drew the dots before hand and was totally sweet when I asked if they could be moved! For the two piercings it was only $ 30!!! Amazing price and great costumer service. Then I went right next door and asked about a tattoo and they quoted me $ 40 because it’s the minimum. Amazing prices there and everyone is so friendly and helpful! Love the piercer, haven’t gotten a tattoo done there — YET but I’ll let you know how that goes when I get there the piercings have healed up so nicely, haven’t had any problems!

got my cartilage & two other ear piercings for $ 40 all in one day, not bad! the place is super clean, knocked a star off because the location kinda sucks, cash only too!

I had gotten my tongue pierced a while back &’ was happy with the results, I recently came back to get it re-​pierced &’ the woman who did my tongue not only pierced it way too back, but she had to pierce it twice, I wasn’t happy about that because it was crooked the first time &’ she had realized she messed up so offered to fix it. I recommend to get piercings at 619 underground at Plaza

I got my lip pierced by Susie tonight and she is excellent! She is patient, very nice and easy to talk to. I highly recommend her!!!

Worst place to get tattooed or pierced!!! I came in November to get my lip pierced and the young lady totally fucked it up! My piercing was crooked and it was cutting lip causing me a lot of discomfort! I had came to show her my lip a week after she did it and she made me think it was me and my medusa was perfect even tho it was not! She told me to wait for it to completely heal then come back if it’s still crooked. When I came back to get a refund and the young lady name sue told me she would do it over for me but I had to wait a month for it to heal after taking it out. After a long time of thinking I was not comfortable with having her do again after she messed up the first time so I went to this amazing spot called EC tattoo and piercing in El Cajon, which I might add was amazing! The people at leftys was very rude the owner Jonny had oh well that’s not my fault attitude. And could not compensate me in any way other then give me another piercing which I definitely Was not doing that again!!! The lady who pierced me was sue but I’m not sure if that really was her name! I’m in the customer service business myself and I would never treat any of my clients the way they treated me. I guess that why this place has very little foot traffic and bad reviews! Stay away from this place they do not deserve anybodies Business! There service was horrible and they do mediocre work!!! This place is the worst and I hope they get shut down soon!!!

I’ve gotten about six tattoos from here and they’re all great. Nothing bad to say about the place. The prices and people are great as well as the tattoo work they do.

Came here to get a nose piercing a year ago despite bad reviews.
Wasn’t disappointed but not impressed, but it wasn’t an experience that needed to be life changing. The piercer was a great guy and they were playing great music (Blink 182 can’t be beat). The actual piercing portion was quick and clean. I left a happy customer and have not had any infection issues.

Always gotten my piercing here the girl is super nice. She makes you feel. comfortable in.her.homey little shop :) shes. not that expensive. There are cheaper out there yes but. not really in chula. I will continue on getting my piercings here.

I always come here w/​one of my close friends to get piercings. I got 4 skin divers w/​her done by Susana. She’s really patient & fun & she also really puts you at ease. Then I came back w/​my friend & got her a septum & belly ring. For the 4 skin divers it was $ 140. Septum & Belly it came out to $ 60 I believe.
Would’ve gotten tattoos here also, but they don’t do lip tattoos :(

Got my tragus piercing done here in 2011 or so, on a whim. Guy was nice BUT a few weeks later, my skin swelled up and the earring got embedded into my skin. I had been taking good care of it, doing the sea salt soaks and all. I went to apogee in Ob, the piercer there had to take it out and he told me the piercing was done super crooked and that was not the correct jewelry for that body part at all. The jewelry was earrings that go on your earlobes. Like the kind you get at Claire’s !

This place was awful. The owner was a complete d*** and the artists were so unwilling to do any version of the tattoo to make it how I wanted it. When showed him what I wanted and how I wanted it to look he dismissed it completely and told me how my tattoo was going to be done. So to recap: very poor customer service, very poor artistry. Will not step foot in this shop if I was paid to do so

Although I had heard negative reviews in the past, my friend wanted to get her nose pierced and I knew people had got them there before so I agreed to go with here here. I’m pretty experienced with piercings myself so I knew the process, but I was surprised by how fast it took to sign the paper and get my friend in the chair without any explaining. She cleaned the piercing but didn’t do the needle check that shows it’s sanitary which I was a little skeptical about, but she marked my friend and showed her and proceeded to (aggressively) shove the needle in my friends nose which looks extremely painful, I was in pain just watching. I personally have 3 nose piercings and I knew immediately the procedure was not supposed to go this way. My friend paid and left without any talk about piercing care, any papers, or any sea salt soak. I was pretty unimpressed with the whole piercing scenario and I would not recommend coming here unless you want a piercing in 5 minutes with no explaining or help.

They messed up my belly piercing it was crooked and really thin! It almost ripped out of my skin of how thin it was, i had to take it off.

Never been tattooed here but I definitely recommend the piercer, she is really good, always nice, clean and professional.

Got my tat done here about 4 months ago by a guy named (Paul) and yeah he can be very aggressive but he knows what he’s doing.
Service was great and tattoo came out pretty good.

I came to this place because it was not too far away from me and I had read the good reviews. I got a helix piercing (cartilage) here about 3 years ago and the experience was great. I remember going in a little scared because I hate needles but the woman who put the piercing was extremely nice.
After picking the earring that I wanted, she sat me down in a little room, asked me where I wanted my piercing, in a matter of minutes I had a new piercing! It honestly didn’t hurt much, it just felt like a little pinch and that’s it.
After getting my cartilage pierced, the woman was kind to explain to me how to take care of it and how to clean the piercing which was great for someone like me who knew nothing about the aftercare.
Overall if you’re looking for a good (& cheap) place to get a piercing this is a place worth checking out! I’d get more piercings from here but unfortunately my Mexican parents don’t like that idea too much.
