Third Energy Tattoo & Piercing

I will not ever use a piercer who isn’t Shawn! He is the only person I trust with my face. He did my nostril piercing and my septum, more than once (I had to remove them for a job I had). Shawn is always very thorough in his instructions for care after you leave the shop and is kind, welcoming, and funny while you’re there. I have recommended Shawn to many of my friends and they’ve all had wonderful experiences as well.

JUSTIN JAMES Tattoo Artist! Justin James is hands down the best tattoo artist in Bakersfield. My husband and I had him ink us in 2014 when we were just dating. Now married, we both knew we wanted quality work and he was the only choice for our new ink. He is punctual, professional, accommodating, hilarious, and has AMAZING art skills. If you are looking for quality work and great experience, he is your artist!

Great Place! Went to see Shawn for a piercing & he is the Best in town hands down! The tattoo artists are all excellent. Aaron is 1 of the Best you can get anywhere. They sterilized every surface between clients & take the time to talk to you to make sure they know what you want & explain what you need to know & how to care for it. The shop itself is a neat place being in part of the old icehouse. You will get top notch, professional, quality service here! Highly Recommend Shawn for piercing & Aaron for tattoos!

This is a very nice and very clean shop. The peircing artist Shawn is also great. However, I had an unpleasant experience with one of the tattoo artists here, which made it disappointing altogether. Now I have an unfinished peice that I paid for in full. I can understand someone cancelling appointments for emergencies or just not replying due to various important reasons. But scheduling appointments and not showing up is bad business. And I was cancelled at least 4 times and the 5th time was a full no show. don't care how good someone is at what they do. If they can't value you and your time as a paying customer then they don't need your business. Chris came highly recommended but being as that may be, having my time played around with wasn't worth it . I normally don't leave bad reviews, but I hope this person gets their act together .

I recently brought my daughter to Third Energy to get her nose pierced by Shawn, as he is the Only one I'd trust! Shawn continues to provide the highest quality of work, constant professionalism, and unparalleled customer service. If you are seeking the best Piercer in Bakersfield, there is no doubt Shawn @ Third Energy is the Man!

Shawn has done all of my piercings. I am a huge baby about needles but he has a way for being super calm and confident in a way that it’s calming to the client. He is super clean and does not mess around about the sterility of his stuff. He autoclaves all of his tools and cleans everything in front of you and waits to prep until you are in the chair so you know everything is still sterile. I broke my nose when I was a kid and had some major self confidence issues with my nose, I would not take photos at certain angles because of it. Shawn pierced my nose and really helped make me confident about taking photos with my nose still in the photo! He is very prompt and courteous about answering any questions I had and he even helped me change out my piercing when I was scared of doing it myself. Shawn is a great guy and I would not trust any one else to stab me with needles.

Shawn pierced my 11 year old daughters ears. She had them pierced about 4 years or so ago at the mall. They became infected so she was scared this would happen again. Shawn was professional and very knowledgeable. He gave her a sense of comfort, especially since she isn’t very keen on needles and with her prior ear piercing experience. He talked her through the process which was something he didn’t have to do but he did because he saw she was nervous. The shop and environment is very clean and all piercing tools used were brand new. I recommend to everyone that if you’re going to get your ears pierced do it with a needle, not a gun. And now I recommend this man to anyone who wants a piercing. My daughter is already ready for her second hole... thanks Shawn again.

About 4 months ago I got a navel piercing done by Shawn it was very professional and a very sterile clean environment he was very nice and made me feel comfortable. I've had a couple bad experiences in the past with different piercing places and this one was great I've had no issues with my piercing since the start! He went over all of the information and made sure I understood his cleaning process. I highly recommend him and will be going to him with any future piercings. This is the only photo I have of the piercing right now it's not the best quality but it's with the basic jewelry I chose for the piercing.

I went in here yesterday wanting to get an industrial piercing on my ear done. I walked in and not only was Third Energy very clean but the vibe was amazing and everyone seemed very friendly/funny. I’ve never felt so welcomed at a tattoo/piercing shop! I had been communicating with Shawn a couple days prior about coming in and pricing and he was quick to get back to me every single time. He was so nice when I met him in person and he has a personality that makes you feel comfortable getting things like this done. He will have you laughing, smiling to get through that pain lol. Shawn is very thorough, precise and organized! When doing my piercing, he was the only artist I’ve ever been to that’s actually cared about telling me different positions of the piercing so it will be more flattering for my ear for the same piercing I want. Others at different shops I’ve been to I tell them what I want, they ask if I like it when marking and they just pierce it. I will definitely always come back to Shawn for any piercing I get done and will always recommend him to everyone! He is an incredible artist and you won’t regret going to Third Energy!

Went to see Shawn at Third Energy Tattoo to get my Daith piercing done. Clean establishment. Friendly staff.
