I always get Lama and she has done both of my snake bite piercings on my helix and orbital regions of my ears. She is very soft handed, attentive and acknowledges your requests in terms of alignment and your feedback prior to getting the piercing. You pay for the earrings (upto $50 for the set of two earrings) and the piercing service itself is free. And yes they use the piercing gun- fortunately for myself I have not experienced any problems. Yes they use gloves and alcohol prep pads therefore I will be returning for a third time when I'm ready for more! Based on the reviews I'd be careful if you're getting your tragus pierced and advise you to do your research. Otherwise I have no complaints and only good things to say. Thank you lama!! read more

See all

Stay away from this place. They gave me an ear infection in both ears that wouldn't go away for 2.5 months! First of all, the guy who did it only wore ONE glove and didn't even sanitize his hands. Then he failed to pierce my ear lobe once and had an audacity to blame me for breaking an earring while he was the one who performed poor job and had to pierce my ear twice. In the end, he failed again and left me with one bent earring in one ear that ended up having a crooked hole which bleeds and keeps puffing up despite me cleaning it few times a day and using antibiotic ointment. On top of that the whole time he was acting like it was MY fault that he was not able to do that one job he had and tried to turn it into a joke. Not a pleasant experience. read more

I took my daughter here the other day to get her ears pierced. She is almost 5 months. The lady doing the piercing was very professional, patient and nice. She sterilized and used gloves and showed everything was sterile and new. I would recommend. She even gave my daughter a certificate of bravery lol. read more

My daughter got her piercing done today. The guy explained well how he is going to do piercing before the procedure and how clean it is to use their piercing tool. My daughter chose the pierces from a number of piercing (14k white gold, gold, 18k gold, 24k gold etc.) on the panel. Although he had to redo the piercing on her ears twice and it hurtled, everything went well. The guy had good customer services and he thanked us for coming to the store a few times. We could see he was very appreciative. The piercing was free and we just had to paid for the pierces. We paid for it after the piercing was done. Overall, we are satisfied with their products and services. read more

I was scared at first of taking my 5month for her piercing due to the reviews but it was a last minute decision. But our experience was great! The lady was very patient with my wiggly baby. She did cry but it only lasted for a minute. Ears are look great even 2 weeks after read more

DO NOT COME HERE especially for nose piercing they only use a gun and put an earring in my nose I had to go get it assessed at a professional piercing place and my nose is immensely swollen, it will not heal properly and I will have permanent scarring thanks to improper equipment and terrible service! read more

great customer service and over all amazing! Got my first piercing there today and couldn't have asked for a better person.

It honestly upsets me that I can not post a star lower than 1. A man named Neal pierced my tragus when I was 17 years old with out any parental consent. As a 17 year old this seemed amazing, little did I know this decision would leave me permanently deformed. My friend and I who at the time was also 17 years old went in to earrings world and signed a long paper. I'd like to mention that we did not lie to him nor were we deceptive about our age. After we signed the paper he put on a glove (which he did NOT change between my friend and I's piercings.) He pierced our ears with a gun which I later heard from a friend is completely unsanitary, but me being inexperienced I was unaware. Once he pierced my ear I felt pain but like any piercing that's expected. The pain continued for the rest of the day. Which again, I didn't think anything of it. The next morning I woke up and my skin completely swallowed the tiny earring he placed in my ear. I thought it was normal so I just applied my sanitary juices and pushed my earring out of the hole and twisted. My ear was in excruciating pain. The morning after that day ( 2 days since I got it pierced,) I woke up to find my ear and face three times larger. Not only was there pain in my ear but there was also pain in my neck. I could barely move my mouth so I told my mother and she rushed me to urgent care. I had to have surgery on my ear to remove the earring. The doctor told me the man basically pierced my face. I called my friend and she told me her earring ripped out because he pierced her too close to the edge. We eventually went back and the same man blamed us for going to the doctor before him. He claimed he could of fixed it, when it took the doctor and hour to remove it. He also put the blame me having a small tragus. He shouldn't of pierced my ear if he thought my tragus was too small. He never even mentioned to me before. Half of my face is now permanently larger than the other. I blame Neal from earrings world. I would not suggest the unsanitary store to anyone. read more

I only am giving them 1 star because that's the lowest rating available. Do NOT go to Earring's World. They will fuck you up. They illegally pierced my tragus and now it's ruined forever. I went there in March and asked whether they did tragus piercings. The employee working (unfortunately I do not know her name) assured me they did and proceeded to explain the process, offered their selection of piercing jewelry, and pierced my tragus. It hurt a lot, but I thought that was normal. A week ago my tragus piercing fell out and I didn't notice at first. When I did, I tried with multiple earrings, but couldn't get it back in. I went to the Body Gallery Piercing and Tattoo place and asked if they could stick it back in or repierce it. Jesse (who is awesome) looked at my tragus and asked where I'd gotten it done and whether they had used a gun. I told him and said yes, they'd used a gun. He informed me that using a gun on a tragus is illegal and that their piercing was close to the edge that it could easily have ripped out through the skin. He said that was lucky though, because had they pierced it where they were supposed to, it could've cracked my tragus and seriously ruined my ear irreparably. He suggested I report them to the state board, DPOR, and let it heal before getting it redone by an actual professional. I have reported them and hope they get shut down. read more

I had my daughter's ears pierced at Earring World and paid over 50.00 for the CZ studs. within two days both of the CZ gems fell out of the stud. When i went back to the store to complain, they said, "we don't guarantee piercings." Since they were obviously defective earrings, they should have either given me replacement earrings for my daughter or refunded part of all of the purchase price. they refused to do anything. I will never shop here again. It is pretty pathetic when a 9 year olds ear piercing (a gift from santa) is ruined because of defective merchandise and the refusal to stand by their products. read more

I took my 4 month old daughter here for ear piercing. It was a very quick process and the staff was very friendly knowledgeable and CLEAN!! I would recommend them to anyone looking for baby ear piercing :) Preety is the staff member who helped us she was very nice. read more

I am disappointed with this store's customer service. My daughter came to Earring's World at Potomac Mills Mall to get her ear pierced. She got really nervous and scared about having it done, and wanted to change her mind. The salesperson refused to give her a refund even though the piercing procedure had not even started. They make you pay up front before the procedure, and if you change your mind, well then they don't care even if you are a child. They just want your money. You don't get a refund. This is bad business, and we will never return. read more
