Super super sweet piercer! Husband and wife own the shop and she is the piercer. I asked for the conch piercing and I knew that it helped with migraines but it also looks cute. My only thing is that I believe they allow people to choose piercings they want to be pierced with. I've never heard of a shop doing that before. I've had many piercings all in my ears, and my nose, and I've always just been pierced with the surgical stainless steel. I don't think I would let someone piece me with something other than that. I guess if someone is insistent, but it only takes a few months to heal and you can change it to something pretty. I also am a little annoyed they measured my earring length wrong and it really irritated me tragus piercings so I can't wear the jewelry I bought from them which was 30 dollars. And two separate drives there. Otherwise great place. Update: I went to Luckys in NoHo to get my piercings changed. And she noticed the daith piercing I had done here was very angry and migrated down and she said it could tear my cartilage if it moves further. She was nice enough to take a picture for me and said I could try to heal it but I would have to really really take care of it like 5-6 times a day. I work way too much for that, so I had her remove it. I have to now wait 2 months to get it repierced. She said it looked like it was pierced just a little too low for my anatomy.

Piercing and tattoos, friendly. Clean, prices are reasonable. Must have ID no exceptions. They also have jewelry, art and pipes.

Worst experience ever. My friend and I went to get double cartilage piercings that we were extremely excited about. The piercer was nice, but the owner Melissa had a terrible attitude while greeting us. We did not feel welcomed at all. After we got our piercings, mine got infected to the point where my ear doubled in size. I went back and Melissa refused to take my earrings out even after I had asked several times. A doctors visit was then made and medication was prescribed because it was so bad. I went elsewhere to get both removed and they agreed it should have been taken out the first time I asked instead of it only getting worse by the day. My friend is now having the exact same issue. This place is so unsanitary and not worth the money. The fact that we wasted $120+ on piercings and then a doctors visit is ridiculous. This has happened before with my piercings at this place too. It should honestly be shut down and maybe a call to the health department be made to do so. They need to make this right for us, but I will never recommend anyone to them. read more

Overall, a good experience. Melissa, who did the piercing, is so friendly and so nice. She made the experience as comfortable as possible. Definitely make an appointment and be sure to bring an ID. Cash only. If you are early for your appointment, there is a small waiting area. read more

So I went to Moonflower for my first tattoo of my son's name and Sage was the tattoo artist and she spelled it wrong. When she was doing the stencil she had asked how to spell it and she asked me twice and still managed to spell it wrong. My sons name is Michael not Micheal. I was very excited and anxious because I was finally getting my first tattoo and didn't notice it was spelled incorrectly when I looked at it in the mirror for 5 seconds. I went straight to work from there and didn't get home till 11 and I finally noticed it when I tried to take a picture of it. I was very calm and polite on the phone this morning and spoke with her and I was basically told that this isn't her mistake because I okay'd it and I can't get my money back. Now technically if I told you how to spell it two different times then it's your mistake. I don't recommend going here for tattoos, I felt as if I waited for almost an hour before being tattoo'd and then very rushed after it was finished, she almost forgot to put ointment on it and the plastic and like I said before I got to look at it for 5 seconds. I will no longer be coming here for tattoos or piercings. read more

Came in at 1:30pm with my son for a nose piercing and Melissa was very rude. When verifying identification I was very embarrassed because she made a big deal of my son and I not having the same last name in front of a line of people and not believing that he was actually my son. Then her "2 o'clock" appt was in line behind us and she took them in first. I will never go back there again, nor will I ever recommend anyone. Trash!!! read more

History

Established in 2001.

Opened in 2001 by Dana and Doug Tellier, the original business was a small gift shop. Over time, the merchandise was expanded to include smoking accessories. In 2003, after finishing a formal apprenticeship, Doug offered body piercing to the public. With a huge increase in popularity, in 2009, the business needed to expand. They opened a second floor where the piercing and tattooing is done today. In the beginning of 2014, Doug and Dana passed the business on to their oldest daughter, Melissa Bowman, who has been piercing and managing the day-to-day business since 2009.

Meet the Business Owner: Melissa B.

Melissa completed her formal apprenticeship for body piercing in 2009. She is also blood borne pathogen certified. Melissa lives in Coventry, with her husband Eli, and their 3 dogs, and 4 cats.

Stay True Body Piercing

I wanted to get a double helix done, but since this is my first time getting a piercing that's on…read morethe upper part of the ear, I was very nervous about finding a piercer. I've heard so many horror stories of people getting their cartilage pierced, so I was very particular in where I went. Safe to say, I am so so so glad I came to Stay True. When I come in, everyone is so welcoming. They were very kind and professional throughout the whole process. And there were so many piercing choices omg. I found one that perfectly fit my vision. My piercer was so incredibly knowledgeable of what he was doing that all of my anxiety went away. He also addressed my questions with a lot of care. I'm so incredibly happy my new piercings!! My new favorite place to talk about.

I really wanted to love this place based on its reputation, but unfortunately my experience has…read morebeen disappointing from start to finish. On April 10th, I spent $785.08 on three piercings: my second lobes and a conch. Before the appointment, I showed inspiration photos and explained my vision to the person at the front, including that my long-term goal was a double conch. However, there was clearly a breakdown in communication between the front desk and the piercer. It was not until after the conch had already been pierced that I was told double conches are normally planned and pierced together. Had that been explained beforehand, I would have made a different decision. I was also unhappy with the placement of my second lobe piercings. I was wearing larger diamond studs that day, so the spacing looked fine in the mirror. Once I got home and wore hoops, I realized the second holes were placed much farther away than I wanted. The photos also show an old, partially closed hole near that area, which makes me wonder whether the piercer may have thought I already had a second lobe and placed the new one more like a third. I cannot know that for certain, but because I explained everything and showed my photos to the front desk rather than directly to the piercer, it adds to my concern that the information was never properly communicated. For the amount I paid, I expected a much more thorough consultation, better communication, and more education about placement, jewelry, and aftercare. On June 8th, I returned because I had an MRI and needed my conch jewelry replaced with a retainer. I also told the front desk that I needed my lobe jewelry downsized. Once again, that information was not passed along. After the piercer finished changing the conch jewelry and began packing up, I had to remind him about the lobes. He sighed and said he had not been told. The appointment again felt rushed. I had to ask how the retainer worked, how to put my original jewelry back in, and whether it was threaded or threadless. I was not told what material the retainer was made from, how long it should stay in, whether it was appropriate to leave in a healing piercing, or what warning signs to watch for. Because no instructions were given, I assumed it was fine to leave it in. When I later went to clean the piercing, I realized the skin had grown over the O-ring and it had become embedded in the back of my ear. When I pushed the jewelry slightly, the area began bleeding heavily. My husband had to use a flashlight while I pushed the jewelry forward hard enough for the embedded O-ring to come back through the skin. We then removed the O-ring and took the retainer out completely. I have included photos showing the retainer immediately after it was placed, the skin covering the O-ring, the bleeding, the retainer after removal, and the condition of my ear after I had to force it out. I cannot say whether the retainer was meant to be left in long-term because that was never explained to me. That is exactly the problem. I should not have had to guess how to manage a healing cartilage piercing after paying a professional studio to change the jewelry. After spending nearly $900 between the original piercings, jewelry, downsizing, and the retainer, I expected professional guidance and confidence that my piercings were being handled correctly. Instead, the retainer became embedded, I had no choice but to remove the conch completely, and I now have to let the area heal before it can be repierced. I lost the piercing and the hundreds of dollars I spent on it. After everything that happened, I felt I had no choice but to write this review.

I already had two piercings with butterfly backs but no one mentioned there is a different kind of back now where you screw a microscopic post into a tiny hole. I had to take them out for an MRI and can't get them back in because I have paralysis in my thumbs and arthritis in my hands. I called to see if they could exchange them for the type I wanted because I can't use these and he got very defensive. He kept telling me he has a client with 4 fingers and only one hand so my disability shouldn't be a problem. If he can overcome his then surely I should overcome mine, he insisted. I felt like I was talking to a child. There was no apology for the miscommunication, no offer to try to reorder them or take them back or even issue some kind of credit. He just kept blaming me, saying I should have asked when I came in wearing butterflies and having no idea these others existed. The bottom line: They don't take an ounce of responsibility for anything and are incredibly rude to someone who spent hundreds of dollars on something she can't use. Telling me I am wrong about my disability and insisting I can pay them to teach me to do it was the icing on the cake. You don't tell a disabled person that their disability isn't real and they can do something they can't if they really wanted to. I would rather pierce my own ear with a rusty nail than set foot in this scam of a place again.

I can't compliment this store enough. I grew up on Main Street Manchester and have filtered in and out of Moonflower for years. In this time, I have never had so much as a slightly disappointing experience. Not once. The staff are all helpful and knowledgeable and always make you feel welcome without seeming too pushy. I have gotten every tattoo I have at this store (on my seventh at the time of this review) and "satisfied" isn't even the word for how much I love all of them, thanks to the talent and skill put forward by Sage, the Moonflower artist who did each one. Both of my piercings (one in each earlobe) were also done at Moonflower and both were done expertly and I was left without a hint of worry. You always feel like you're in good hands, because you are. They keep the store well-stocked and there is a variety to all the different types of items they sell. I feel absolutely no desire to visit similar shops, when I know that quality is a common theme in Moonflower. They are the people that I trust with my piercing, tattoo, jewelry etc. needs and I can't give them enough praise. The pricing has always been more than fair on everything and I consider myself lucky that I discovered this store as my go-to place for such things. Overall, I highly recommend this store and I can't imagine that anyone could walk away with anything but a positive experience. Keep it up!! read more

My friends and I stopped here about 20 minutes before they closed and got some piercings done. My friend had a nipple piercing redone, another friend got both nipples, and I got my septum pierced for the first time by Melissa. The shop has so much character, and they were extremely kind. Melissa talked me through the process, calmed my (very anxious!) nerves, and the piercing was over before I knew it. She was friendly, quick, calming, precise, and clean! She was very informative on the placement and accommodating to 5 excited 20-year-olds. She gave additional advice on each piercing as well. An absolutely amazing piercer who knows what she is talking about. Also, prices are EXTREMELY reasonable, and they only use surgical steel rings with no nickel. I am looking forward to my next piercing from her! The only downside is that they are a cash-only establishment, but they do have an ATM on site with a $2.50 fee per withdrawal. My friends and I could not be happier with our new piercings! read more

The Moon Flower is great! Only place I'll go for my piercings and tattoos! Melissa is by far the best piercer I've found in CT. Doug was great too, but he's no longer there. I'd have to disagree with Samara's review. I think the reason they don't charge ridiculous amounts for piercings is because they do so many. There's always a line of people waiting to get pierced whenever I go there. It's also great that they don't hit you up with an extra charge for the jewelry like some shops do. The price they tell you over the phone is the price you can expect to pay. Unlike other shops (black diamond I'm looking at you) where they tell you a price over the phone, and then when you get there they tell you the jewelry is extra. In conclusion, I'd highly recommend The Moon Flower. read more

Went to this place spontaneously one night with a couple of my girlfriends when we decided we wanted a piercing. I have a few already so I thought what the hell, let's do it! I expected to get a nose piercing and maybe some rushed aftercare info, but what I got was an amazing piercing and a warm and professional experience! The girl that did my piercing, Melissa, was so nice. Even though I have a few others (a cartilage and my belly button) she still took the time to talk me through it. It was so fast! They even let you choose between a hoop and a gem stud! I got the stud and it is tiny and adorable :) Overall, best piercing that I have ever gotten. I'm so glad a stumbled upon this little shop, I'll never go anywhere else! read more

I got three piercings done by Melissa and won't go anywhere else. She's very professional and knows her stuff. She also made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. I found the staff to be very friendly as well. The Moon Flower has always been a trusted place in Manchester to get a piercing. It's sad to read some of the negative reviews. I'm sure anyone who had a bad experience probably brought it on themselves. Don't blame the piercer, don't blame the price. And if you're not going to listen to the advice Melissa gives you on aftercare then you get what you deserve. Stupid is as stupid does. read more

I previously had my nosed pierced at another tattoo/piercing shop. It hurt horribly and I was in tremendous pain for days. My hole ended up closing up as I was told after a month I could take out the piercing. I was scared to get it done again but really wanted one. I went and saw Melissa. She was fantastic. Walked me through every step and told me that what happened in the past would not happen this time around. She was correct! Pinch when my nose was pierced but other than that no pain. Very satisfied!! read more

This is an absolutely wonderful shop. They not only do great tattoo's but they also do a wide variety of piercings. The workers there are very cordial and nice. They know what they're talking about with keeping the tattoo or piercing clean and keeping it from getting infected. Sage and Melissa are amazing and are great people for the job. They have a lot of experience and they definitely know what their doing with their jobs. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a tattoo or a piercing to go to this shop. read more

the only thing i would say is "BE OPEN ON SUNDAYS" i had a mishap and had to go to Visual expressions as a last resort because moon flower is closed on Sundays and i had the worst experience!! they even talked down moon flower in front of me!!! i wrote a hefty review on their page but will always stick to moon flower! Melissa is the best!!!! I just couldn't let my hole close and needed someone asap :( read more

I loved moonflower! I don't know why people are being so rude and giving mean comments. Melissa was a very good piercer and was very nice. As well as the receptionist. I've gotten my first piercing there and i will go there for my next ones. read more

I absolutely love Melissa, she is so friendly and by far the best piercer I have seen. Previously I would go to black Diamond but I won't be returning there for any future piercings. 10/10 you should book here. read more

I can't even begin to tell you how much I loved getting my tattoo at Rock City. Every step of the…read moreprocess, from my initial consultation to discuss design to the actual tattooing itself, was absolutely perfect. I even have a short follow-up scheduled three weeks after my appointment so they can take a look at my ink after it has healed and to go over areas that may need some touching up. I get a real kick out of talking with people who are passionate about what they do, so my hours in the chair with Kevin just flew by. I'm a relative noob (this was only my second tattoo), so I'm sure I must have been asking the most ridiculous questions, but everyone in the shop seemed eager to share their expertise. I don't know how many more tattoos I will be getting, but there is no doubt in my mind that I'll never go anywhere but here.

I was sincerely impressed by his use of technology to enhance the sketch and stencil. I got three small tattoos and it was a painless and enjoyable process.

I've had ornery tattoo artists in the past, but Matt is patient, a lot of fun, and also a real nice guy. The price was fantastic. I come from NYC where tattoos are $200 an hour, sometimes more. It was nearly half that here. One hell of bargain considering the quality of work, expertise, and relaxed environment. Also I was very happy to see a very clean and sanitary work space. Matt took great care and doing everything by the book. I highly recommend this place. Considering there's not a lot of tattoo shops in the vicinity of Storrs, it's great to know that the one that is, is really great.

And the price and quality of lashes are the cherry on top. Her prices are so reasonable!! I've had multiple people compliment me on my lashes when I go places. I can't recommend Simone enough!
