    Daith piercing
    Katherine P.

    Tobias did an amazing job with my new faith piercing! I had one on the other ear taken out from a different piercer, and had the other ear done here. It was a completely different experience! I was in the other shop for 5 minutes and this one took the whole hour! Everything was explained in depth, the tools/earring were sanitized while I was there, and care was taken with each step! I would highly recommend Tobias to anyone and will be going back if I decide to get the other side repierced in the future! They also have an amazing selection of jewelry!

    It was a bit hard to find bc if you have AT&T, your phone won't work in the vicinity. So I had to recall what the suite number was from my iPhone calendar. They don't have a bit sign but I posted a pic of their front door. Make sure you're not early or late bc you'll be greeted right on time. Text the number on their door to check in. The shop is very clean and organized. Very professional staff. I think my piercer was named Valerie. She was very precise, detail oriented with great bedside manners. She didn't rush me and was very patient while I picked out the jewelry for purchase. Valerie pierced my forward helix and then changed my tragus piercing for me. Their APP certificates are posted on the wall- it's absolutely crucial you go to a place that has APP certified piercers if you want to have your piercing safely done. I've had one too many bad experiences and learned my lesson. My total cost came out to approx $470 or so- two earrings and the piercing/changing costs. I screwed up the screen and ended up paying a 30 cent tip- I'm SO sorry for that. I'll be back and hopefully can redeem myself.

    The first time I tried to go in, they were really busy and I had to make an appointment. That's the reason it's 4 stars, they can't always fit in a walk in client. However, they did a great job with my tragus and even let my friend make a video! They were responsive to my concerns and were very professional.... Once it was time for my appointment.

    Shout out to Jen and the staff at Brilliance, they made me a happy camper! Thanks to one of the staff members diligently checking their DMs, I was able to secure a last-minute, next-day appointment. I was most appreciative! Jen at Brilliance epitomizes piercer professionalism. My experience was unmatched. I have a piercing, or two, or three...and I have never experienced this level of cleanliness, piercing/healing expertise, and stellar customer service. Jen is so informative and polite, not like most piercers you encounter. The facility itself is bright and inviting. I noticed the air upon entering was well ventilated and not stuffy or stinky...because, well, that matters to me. The young lady at the front desk was so nice and most helpful with assisting me with jewelry options. The jewelry presentation and selection was impressive and on-par with most places in the DMV for that quality of jewelry. I'll be going back for my birthday! Kudos to Jen, and the Brilliance staff, for their excellent service.

    Back after 3 months. Doesn't hurt.

    I love coming here, I learned about Brilliance from instagram and I am so happy with them. They're super professional, kind, and made the whole process of getting my ears pierced easy. They have also taught me that they way I got my ears pierced in the past was NOT good at all (I blame college) and Tobias who has been taking care of my current conch is super knowledgeable, friendly and I seriously feel like I could never go anywhere else now. Thanks so much guys! I cant fill my ears with piercings just yet for work reasons but as soon as I can I will

    Oh my gosh where do I even start with how amazing this place is. I got my 14 & 15th piercing with Brilliance and I can't believe I trusted other UNPROFESSIONAL people to pierce me previously. Let's dive in to the good good: - First, you have to book an appointment. It can take 8-9 weeks to get an opening so the wait does suck but I cannot blame them at all for maintaining a safe practice for all this time. I felt super super safe being the only appointment in my hour time. - My biggest issue coming in was I felt like my previous jewelry wasn't cohesive. My ear had jewelry that was all over the place that didn't fit in the right places. Jen was AMAZING because I let her do her creative thing so she chose all my jewelry and the order they would go in to look GREAT!! Never had such a high end experience for someone to cater to my ear so wonderfully. I felt like this experience alone was 10/10. - Another amazing thing was Tobias, my piercer. He noticed my previous piercer messed up on my 2nd lobe piercing and did it too low.. but made it into an opportunity to pierce on top and I loooove it!! He took a mistake and turned it into something beautiful. ALSO. I ALWAYS ALWAYS HAD INFECTED EARS after going to places like a mall stand *cough* but tell me why both my piercings he did NEVER GOT INFECTED!! It's been 3 months, healing has been AMAZING. Is this the difference when you go to a professional who sanitizes jewelry prior (took about 20 mins), knows his craft & can do the more difficult piercings?! YES. Please guys, don't shortcut body mods like this EVER. I can no longer go to any place that doesn't service to this standard again. - All real jewelry!!! No fake stuff here. Yes, it's expensive. I am allergic to "fake" jewelry so this was actually what I needed. The backings they have are way more secure so you don't have to worry about your earrings falling out. This is the first time I've experienced such high end earring backing. I love it here so much... currently on waitlist for my next appointment for my next piercings! And yes.. totally worth the Maryland to VA drive.

    Does the piercer use a piercing gun or needle?

    She uses a sterilized needle. It's better than the gun, 100%. Jen is super professional and her work space is clean. She has SO MUCH variety in jewelry. Definitely recommend going to her... i'll be returning :)

    The best piercer in Northern VA. Super clean, very knowledgeable, and extremely detail-oriented…read more Piercings are something you live with for life, so you really have to love them. Lora is truly the best -- highly recommend. I used to have very low piercings and they looked terrible. I tried getting stacked piercings at Rowan, but the nurse (piercer) didn't really know what they were doing. My ears were poked multiple times, nothing was lined up, and it just looked off. Even though I paid a lot, I ended up taking them out. Then I went to Lora -- she immediately understood what I wanted, walked me through everything, and gave thoughtful recommendations. The result looks SO much better. I honestly wish I had found her earlier. Do not go to places that use piercing guns or devices -- they don't follow your markings properly. Go to Lora.

    I've been going to Patriots for around 8 years now and they have never disappointed me. The…read moreservices i've received are; lobe piercings, nostril piercing, industrial piercing, shin tattoo, inner forearm tattoo, hip bone tattoo, and a front thigh tattoo. In addition, Patriots is my first to recommend when someone mentions seeking tattoos or piercings. I have numerous friends who also have tattoos from this shop. Following given care instructions, I've had great healing experiences with my tattoos and piercings. I've been to various tattoo artists and piercers here, my personal favorite has been Mauricio, tattoo artist. Curt is the shop manager and he's great, friendly and always welcoming. I'll continue to seek services at this studio in the future!
