She told me how amazing, professional, and clean her piercer was. She also told me that Make Me Holey uses hypoallergenic materials, which had been a concern for me because several of my older piercings had rejected during the healing process, and I attributed that to materials. Based on my wife's recommendation, I scheduled an appointment to get my septum pierced, on a whim basically. I showed up, got pierced, and left - super quick and clean. That was more than a year ago, and I still love my septum piercing! It miraculously seemed to heal instantaneously, and the size they recommended perfectly suits my nose shape (in my opinion). Love this place!

The back of my cartilage was starting to embed so I made an appointment with Nessa to see if…read moreanything could be done. I've had this one for over 3 years now and I was determined to keep it if possible. The staff here are super friendly and nonjudgmental, it truly felt like a safe space because I came in feeling a little embarrassed at how gross my piercing had gotten. Nessa was FANTASTIC, her level of care is above and beyond and she made sure I was comfortable while she pushed the earring back through my cartilage. Even afterwards, she spent a lot of time answering all my questions and giving me overall great advice on how to care for my cartilage piercing. They also have a stunning jewelry selection up front. I've seen some reviews about them being expensive, but these are handmade with premium materials and sourced from local jewelers, not mass produced. I'm in love with this little gold fan I found there. Overall I'm definitely going to come back when my ear is back to normal, hopefully I'll see Nessa for a new piercing next time. :)

They were both very courteous and helpful - answered all the questions I had about the different types of earrings, lobe piercing & cartilege piercings. One of the reasons I picked this place was because they had numbing cream available! They applied numbing cream on my daughter and as we waited, I was inspired to also get a cartilage piercing for myself. Selena was patient, showing us where the earring placement would be and the entire process was fast and easy. No tears were shed (for my daughter & myself) and they gave us a post piercing kit. We walked out super happy with our new piercings. Highly recommend anyone looking for piercings! They were sanitary, safe and experienced so I feel confident knowing my piercings will last long without infection with proper care.

After taking a look, Daniel explained that it was possible to re-pierce and that my original piercing had been done incorrectly, which likely caused my the piercing to reject. They also explained that my belly button is on the narrower side, so starting with smaller jewelry was important. While they mentioned there were pricier jewelry options with gems, they strongly recommended starting with a basic titanium bar to allow the piercing to fully heal properly. They were a bit busy and couldn't take walk-ins at the time (about a two-hour wait), so we scheduled for Thursday instead. This was honestly one of the best piercing experiences I've ever had--and I have many piercings. Daniel was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and made me feel comfortable the entire time. I went in a little nervous, but they walked me through the process and explained exactly why they chose the placement they did. This was the first time a piercer actually took the time to measure and ensure the placement was absolutely perfect, even making sure the jewelry balls weren't too large. The piercing itself hurt way less than I expected, especially compared to the first time I had it done. I'll definitely be coming back in the future for more piercings. Highly recommend coming here if you're looking for someone who truly knows what they're doing and takes the time to do it right.

Unfortunately, they used a piercing gun on my daughter, which was disappointing since that wasn't what I expected. By the time we realized it, everything was moving so quickly and we were already there, so we decided to go through with it. The staff was patient and professional throughout the appointment, and the piercing itself was completed efficiently. However, the overall experience didn't quite match the premium price point. We paid around $300, which I expected, but I'm not sure the experience justified the cost. One thing that stood out was the amount of information sent before the appointment and posted online. While I appreciate being informed, it felt overwhelming and difficult to navigate. The website and instructions could be simplified quite a bit. When we arrived, the owner came to our car wearing a large face shield mask, which honestly startled us. I think the appearance made everyone extra scared. Overall, the service was fine and the staff was patient, but I was expecting a warmer, more bubbly experience, especially for a business focused on babies and young children. The biggest disappointment was learning that a piercing gun was used. Because of that, I'm not sure we would return, but the experience wasn't bad enough to warrant a lower rating.

However, after my first appointment was canceled, I came in for my rescheduled visit and left feeling pretty discouraged. The staff explained the risks thoroughly, but it came across less like informed consent and more like they simply didn't want to perform the piercing. I was told things like they had already turned down several people for this type of piercing, that I only had about a 30% chance of success, that it's very hard to be eligible, and that I could be left with a large mark on my abdomen. For a navel piercing--which is very common--that felt excessive and discouraging. What added to the confusion was being told that I had "the perfect anatomy" for it, yet all the guidance seemed aimed at convincing me not to go forward the more and more the conversation went the scarier it got. I was also asked to find jewelry elsewhere and come back because their gauges were too large if I still wanted the piercing done. In the end, I went to another shop and had the piercing done without issue. I can't fully recommend this place, but I also can't completely dismiss them--the experience just left a sour taste. Hopefully, fewer people walk away feeling turned down or discouraged at a shop that offers piercings..
