I got my first non-ear body piercing at Zebra, I was 17 and my mom had to come with me to sign the consent form (they're strict on that, so don't try to sneak by)...memories!
Zebra is a professional body art studio, offering piercing and tattoos. I can't speak of the tattooing personally, except to say that the equipment will ALWAYS be sterile and clean, as with the piercing. Both the store and the studio are clean and well lit, with electric dental chairs to sit in while you get the work done, which made me feel much more relaxed and secure than some other places I've gone. The staff is knowledgeable and professional, and you'll walk out with all the proper cleaning supplies and an instruction sheet on how to care for your new piercing or tattoo - and stop in or call with any additional questions.

Avoid the first couple weeks that school is in over at UC Berkeley, it's gets crowded with kids rebelling in permanent ink.
