  About Zebra
  
  Zebra opened twenty years ago in the Bay Area and quickly became known for its highly skilled artists, its strict adherence to sterilization guidelines and use of non-allergenic dyes.
  Thanks to the support of our wonderful customers, we’ve been voted the Best of the Bay Area for tattooing and body piercing 14 years in a row by East Bay Express, The Daily Californian, and we’ve received the Reader’s Choice award from The San Francisco Chronicle!
  Tattooing
  There is magic in tattoo – the interesting combination of pain and pleasure that results in the permanence of your body as art. At Zebra, we use only the highest quality non-allergenic dyes and sterile equipment. You feel good in the hands of the highest skilled tattoo artists who have rigorously trained at Zebra for years to give you a magical and secure tattooing experience. Many of our first-time customers not only come back for more tattoos, they bring their friends and family! Imagine the possibilities.
  We can custom tattoo any design you give us or you can browse Zebra catalogues to get ideas and talk with our artists to create your vision for who you can be and what you want to express.
  Body Piercing
  Mention piercing to some people, and they may squeal. But at Zebra, our professional piercing experts will make sure your first piercing experience is comfortable and safe. All piercing is done with a gentle touch made possible with a hollow point needle and immediately followed through with the highest grade stainless steel, niobium, or gold jewelry. At Zebra, we have pierced almost any body part you can imagine.
  Come in and review the pictures to see what is possible for your body.
  For all our customers we provide pre-sterilized and hospital sterilized equipment and comfortable professional reclining chairs to ensure your experience is a relaxing one.

  Keepsakes
  The owners, piercing and tattoo artists, and staff of Zebra Tattoo & Body Piercing are like family. They are the nicest people! Also, they are all cool and smart. But, that’s not why they are so phenomenally successful. They have cultural intelligence. Any one moment in time they know what is hot – what people want and must have. Why? Because piercing and tattooing are based upon intimate communication.
  People tell the Zebra family members what their deepest desires are. Also, the family is hooked into what’s happening in high schools, what kids are doing, what they are wearing. They are also connected to several national and hot local bands who pass on new concepts of cultural intelligence. Hot clubs and bars keep the family informed. And, finally the artists at Zebra use this intelligence to create the Zebra experience for their clients and customers.
  Come see the Zebra collection of cutting edge – must have items that enhance how the world sees you with piercings and tattoos.
