Matt is a great guy, he did my cartlidge piercings and was super professional and very kind! The whole studio was very clean and had lots of options for different piercings and jewelry. I ended up going back to get new jewelry for my existing piercings. I felt very comfortable and I felt like the prices were reasonable. Overall, highly recommend!

Had an amazing experience here! I texted to make an appointment because the ball of my hoop ear piercing came out and I needed it replaced. They replied to me quick and I made an appointment time later that day. They got me in and out and they didn't even charge me for the replacement ball. Truly grateful! Couldn't ask for a better experience and the staff are super kind and professional. Totally recommend this place!

Always friendly, great service and very patient. The place is professional and clean, non judgemental. I've only used their piercing guys but both Ron and matt are very talented, and have never caused me an infection. Matt even gave his card and let me contact him when or if I had any questions. Highly recommend.

I got my second tattoo here, and everyone I met was incredibly friendly. The atmosphere is great, very neat and clean. Dylan was the artist that did that tattoo, and I am thoroughly impressed with his work. We worked on fine-tuning my idea for the design and he did an outstanding job. The tattoo turned out beautifully and the entire process was a very comfortable experience. He is an extremely skilled artist, and I highly recommend him!

Absolutely outstanding. I cannot rave about this place more, extremely helpful when booking a reservation, and amazing staff. Between my friends and I we got
a cartilage, lobe and nipple piercing done and it was painless and quick. It was extremely sanitary and professional. I’m in love with my piercing and Matt gave us his card if any follow up was needed and offered support throughout the healing process. Again this is a must go if you’re near the area.

I've gotten three different piercings here from Matt and have yet to be disappointed. He is very good at what he does. He knows exactly where piercing should be placed to maximize look and functionality. His care instructions are also very helpful and the piercing environment is very sterile. I have never had an issue with scars or infections. I would highly recommend Traditional for any of your piercing needs.

Amazing shop filled with professional and talented workers! If you want a piercing I definitely suggest Matt or bhava! They know how to make you feel very comfortable and can get the job done right. As for tattooing, I recommend Jeana! Line work and shadowing is amazing, her portfolio can just tell you everything. Friendly staff and just over all a great atmosphere.

Best tattoo and piercing shop on the Central Coast. Both of my experiences here have been amazing and my friends who have been feel the same way. Artists are professional, fun to chat with, and respectful. Matt made my piercing experience a breeze, which is saying something because I went in alone and as nervous as can be.

This place does excellent tattoos and piercings. I had to give it four stars because of the newest hire for the front desk. The new woman is condescending and rude and unfriendly. I wouldn't recommend keeping her around. I hope traditional sees this.
I especially recommend Matt southwood for piercings. Most every artist is very skilled and professional.
Once again, consider the impact of a rude front desk assistant, it really will drive off new customers.
