I think my mom was a little taken aback by the smoke shop vibe and she was nervous when she met Nick and all their tattoos and piercings. Nick was so open and friendly and age-appropriate with my daughter, my conservative mother relaxed into trust very quickly and it was a WONDERFUL experience. My daughter is so happy with her piercings and my mom couldn't stop raving about Nick's obvious deep knowledge and skill. So impressed.

I later discovered that the jewelry had turned black--it definitely wasn't implant-grade titanium as advertised. On top of that, all three piercings were done at the wrong angles. Even a year and a half later, they're still difficult to wear because of how crooked they are. Absolutely do not recommend. Stay far away.

It was a Tuesday and I'm not the best at making appointments but she took us all right in! The store is decorated super cute! The place is clean and had an easy feel inside.

Every single time I go to Pierced Out!, it's always an amazing experience…read more I've gone to PO several times and have gotten all of my beautiful earrings pierced there. Both Annie and Denae are absolutely wonderful--so professional, warm, and genuinely caring. Annie is incredibly knowledgeable and truly talented at what she does. Every time I visit, she takes the time to explain everything, makes sure I feel comfortable, and you can tell she really cares about her clients. I always leave feeling happy, confident, and well taken care of. In fact, I had previously gone to another place that didn't do a good job, and my earring ended up crooked. Thank goodness Annie was able to fix it--her precision and expertise made such a difference, and I felt so relieved knowing I was in the right hands. Today, Annie truly saved me. My earrings had become embedded (completely my fault for playing with and twisting them instead of letting them heal ), and I was honestly a bit panicked. Annie handled the situation with such calmness, expertise, and precision--it immediately put me at ease. You can tell she has so much experience and genuinely wants the best outcome for you. While Annie worked her magic, Denae was right there holding my hands, comforting me, and making sure I felt supported the entire time. The level of care and compassion from both of them was beyond anything I expected. Annie is not only amazing at what she does, but she also has such a kind, reassuring presence that makes even stressful situations feel manageable. I'm so grateful for her skill, patience, and heart. I can't recommend them enough--they are truly the best!

I really like this piercing and tattoo studio. I came a couple of weeks ago for an ear lobe…read morepiercing and was scheduled with Eoin. I wanted to get a third hole on both ears. My piercer was really friendly and answered my questions. I felt comfortable and the piercing actually didn't hurt that much at all. Came back today to downsize and scheduled with Eoin.

Mixed feelings about a service that ultimately wasn't provided. Communication leading up to the…read moreappointment was great--10/10 by text--and I appreciated the follow-ups from the team. 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..

The most important thing to know about this shop is that people have been coming here since the…read more80's, and bringing their children to get their lobes pierced here, specifically here. The history of Zebra is incredibly inspiring to me as someone who has recently entered the body modification industry and is learning how to manage a business with care myself. I am especially touched by the consideration towards families and children, as there is a play corner for small children in the waiting room. There is a pleasantly high staff to customer ratio, and it is evident that much consideration has been placed on all the different aspects of a body modification appointment. It's almost weird to me. I got my own first piercing (lobes) in Russia (where I grew up) by an uninformed nurse working in a cosmetic med spa, with a piercing gun. I performed my second lobe myself, with a sewing needle I ran through a lighter flame a couple times, tktktk

They will hold onto your order for 7 days and will be refunded if you don't pick it up. The reason why I chose to do pick-up is that delivery seemed too risky. I walked in Friday at opening, 10:15 AM, and was welcomed by the Mejuri staff. Picking up was quick and easy; I signed a pick-up sheet and was informed of the return policy and warranty. The worker who assisted me was very informative. Overall, I had a wonderful experience coming in here. My wife loved her gift so that's good.

I've been wanting to get pierced by Mejuri for years so I treated myself to a flat and a helix…read morepiercing as a birthday/graduation gift. With so many new piercing shops opening up (Studs and Rowan), Mejuri charged the least for their piercing service. $25 covering up to 4 piercings and the cost of jewelry. The Pearl and Star flat back were $98 each. Got pierced by Angelique on 6/17. Paid about $250 in total. You need an appointment every time so I went back Friday 6/19 (2 days later) because I had a concern that the bar wasn't long enough to accommodate my swelling. She looked at it and said it was healing okay. I felt rushed and my feelings were dismissed because she had other appointments waiting. But literally the next day, my ears became swollen. Her last day was on Sunday and they didn't have any piercers to take her spot as when I tried to make an appointment online it was showing none available for the rest of June and all of July. So I went to another piercing shop who said my ears look infected and tried saving the piercing by putting in a longer bar. Something I had informed her I needed a few days prior. Had she listened, my ears wouldn't be having all these problems. Now a week later, I'm on antibiotics trying to heal this infected piercing. I can't say for certain if it was the cleanliness, the piercer's mistake, angle it was pierced, or whatever else that might have caused it. It was done with a needle so that's good. And I do have other piercings that didn't give me any issues, they were just done at piercing/tattoo shops that I feel have higher and better standard of care and cleanliness. Definitely listen to your body when you think something is wrong. Definitely take your money elsewhere if you're looking to get a piercing.
