Simply excellent. Nine Moon's Piercing is a top notch piercing studio. Patient, painless and professional, Starr is masterful in placement and piercing. Naomi's guidance in jewelry selection is honest and invaluable. The studio is super comfortable and relaxing. An all around great experience. read more

I absolutely LOVED coming here! My son and I are both new to the area and had both been wanting piercings. The staff were SUPER friendly, incredibly competent, and genuinely talented. I went in for a nose piercing and Elaine did a FANTASTIC job! She ensured I was happy with the placement and was super gentle throughout the whole process. My son also had a great experience and left very happily with his new ear piercings. I'm so glad we went to Nine Moons Piercing for our piercings. I would recommend this shop to anyone interested in getting any piercings. Lovely place and lovely staff :) read more

I got my forward helix and conch pierced with Nine Moons last month in October. I came in 15 minutes early and was greeted by Naomi. She really calmed my nerves and helped me pick out and style a few pieces and also picked similar options with different price ranges. I really enjoyed my experience with Naomi because was so welcoming, professional, and really took the time to go over options. After picking the jewelry, Starr was ready for me. The room is very clean and private- and the bed you lay down on is large and comfy :). She mapped out a few locations for the forward helix and conch based on the placement and anatomy and she took pictures on her phone since I had a hard time seeing it in the mirror. If Naomi didn't calm me down already, Starr is really the most gentle and friendly piercer I've met. Incredibly patient. And I would like to believe that her swift skills in piercing made the experience pain-free. I also did my downsizing with Starr and it was a breeze. All in all, I wish I got all my piercings done at Nine Moon- this place is a gem. Their collection is exquisite and if I plan on getting more piercings, I will revisit this studio and recommend it to others. Thank you Starr and Naomi. read more

Nine Moons Piercing - Forward helix, conch - Starr - Piercing Near Me - New York, New York

Super, super, super amicable, warm, and approachable staff that know what they're talking about and put their hands to where their mouths are. I came here for some help on an irritated piercing and was pretty nervous about not being able to do much about it after looking through the price ranges very briefly. You make a reservation and if you're tardy by some time they charge you their deposit fee $40+ dollars. Luckily, we came in early and were greeted very warmly by the staff here and after explaining the situation, were asked to wait. I loved the atmosphere of the shop: spotless, classy, sophisticated, and with a large selection of high-end jewelry for you to ooh, ahh, and oggle as you please. Shortly after, I then picked out some jewelry, and then was promptly taken to the back by a staff member. They tried finagling the hole for some time to save my 8 year old piercing, all while trying to ease my anxiety and talk me through the pain of the irritated piercing. After no avail, we decided to give up and let the piercing retire so the spot can heal again. With all that said and done, I was not charged because they understood the trauma of retiring and letting go of an irritated piercing. I was recommended to return 2 months after if I wanted to get it redone again. If I do decide to reinvigorate the spot I'll definitely be back. They are so bubbly and relatable here that I know I'll be well taken care of. Amazing place for new holes if you have a pretty penny and a hankering for change in your near future. read more

This was a truly wonderful experience. The staff is so kind and you feel like they have been your friends for years. Starr did my nose piercing and she was incredibly thorough, quick and it was a painless procedure. This studio is absolutely gorgeous and incredibly tasteful! I would recommend them to everyone. Thank you ladies! read more

I received a philtrum piercing from Starr and will be going back for a vertical labret. Starr is lovely, sweet and excellent in her craft; and my philtrum is healing beautifully. read more

I had such a great experience at Nine Moons Piercing! I spoke with Starr before my appointment, and when I came in, she and the other ladies were all so sweet and personable!! I've had back dermals for over 10 years, and I thought I needed to have them removed for an upcoming MRI. I found Nine Moons after doing a lot of research, they seemed like the most educated, sanitary, and responsive studio- they ended up being all of that and more. Starr could have just removed my dermals, no questions asked, but instead, she took the time to listen to my concerns. She explained that dermals usually don't need to be removed for MRIs (I had no idea) and recommended I push for the tech to try a magnet wand first. Because of her honesty and care, I was able to keep my dermals and still get my MRI done! Thank you to Starr and the ladies at Nine Moons, you all made a stressful situation so much easier, and I really appreciate the compassion, professionalism, and knowledge. Highly, highly recommend!xx read more

Went with a friend to get a new piercing. We both found the staff very professional and knowledgeable and loved the collection of beautiful jewelry they have. It is on the pricier side, but you are getting quality. read more

This was my first time at Nine Moons and about 20 years since my last piercing. As my research showed, they are the best in the business. The experience exceeded my expectations. The entire team is professional, kind, patient and extremely knowledgable. I would recommend to a first timer as well as a seasoned piercing lover. Elaine worked with both my friend and myself. She was super calm, sweet and put us both at ease as we were a little nervous. Hygiene and proper technique are number one here. Both our helix piercings feel amazing this evening. We'll both definitely be back. Naomi was incredible as our stylists guru. She answered every question and guided both of us on the right jewelry selection as well as ear placement. She knows her stuff! We also had a chance to meet Starr who was equally as welcoming and knowledgable. I cannot recommend Nine Moons enough. read more

Nine Moons Piercing - Helix - Piercing Near Me - New York, New York

I made an appointment for piercing troubleshooting back in April with Johnny Pearce. After getting a piercing in St Marks (lol), I knew I needed to see a member of the Association of Professional Piercers. I initially went to the old/wrong address and ran around the block to the correct door. I was a few minutes late but the two people at the front desk were forgiving and understanding. Johnny was extremely kind, reassuring, and offered me options to address my piercing issue. I really appreciated the fact that Johnny sat down with me for teachable moments because I left that appointment with so much peace of mind. I ultimately returned at a later date to have my piercing (which wasn't even performed in studio) removed, which was done at no cost (still left a tip). I am not ready for a new piercing yet after my St Marks fiasco but when I AM ready, Nine Moons is def the place I'd go to in the future. read more

I love Sophie! I will only let Sophie work on my ears and design. Inside the location is beautiful, the staff friendly and inviting. I went in to have Sophie insert my daith jewelry. She was so helpful and nice. read more

Nine Moons Piercing - Sophie inserted my daith piercing. Completing my ear again - Piercing Near Me - New York, New York

The staff are great and offer excellent service. Starr is an amazing piercer. I'll definitely be going back.

Beautiful clean store. Very friendly accommodating staff. Was a great find. Would recommend for safe clean piercing.

Great. The people are lovely. The location great, albeit I was visiting NYC. Everything went as it should.

Reviews are usually too good to be true, however, in the case of Nine Moons they're accurate. The service was wonderful, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get pierced or buy jewelry. From the moment I walked in I was impressed by the cleanliness of the store and the friendliness of the staff. I worked with China to decide on what jewelry would fit best, and was pierced by Starr. Starr takes hygiene seriously - she's a member of the Association for Professional Piercers and has additional certification for blood borne pathogens which made me feel extra comfortable. Will definitely be back for more! read more

I took my eight-year-old to get her ears pierced by Sophie, and it was the easiest possible experience. Everyone who works there is so kind and made the whole experience feel easy and not scary at all. The actual ear piercing process was clean and quick and Sophie did a great job explaining everything to my daughter and making it all seem like it was going to be great -- which it was! My daughter says "5 stars! It barely hurt, and didn't hurt at all after!" One note -- the gold jewelry itself is pretty pricey -- I didn't expect it to be hugely different than the titanium, so I let her pick, but it definitely was. If you're concerned about pricing, go for the titanium first! (They did warn me! I just wasn't prepared!) read more

Nine Moons Piercing - Piercing Near Me - New York, New York

I was extremely nervous walking into my appointment to get my nipples done, even despite the glowing praise and reviews for Nine Moons I saw online, but I'm so happy to confirm those reviews are well-deserved. Everyone, from the folks working at the front desk to Starr Ellis, was exceptionally kind and professional. Starr explained each step of the process as we moved along, which was a good distraction for my anxious brain, and her work was quick and precise. It's clear, having gone through the process, that she knows her work inside and out and I can only imagine that goes for the other piercers at Nine Moons as well. I'm in love with how my piercings turned out and I truly don't think I could've chosen a better piercer. read more

The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable! Their options are not cheap but very good quality. We did not feel any pressure to buy or get pierced. It was a very lovely experience all around. read more

We came here the other day for a nose piercing for my husband. The salon is very impressive. Clean, knowledgeable staff, variety of gold jewelry. I was very impressed with them piercing their clients with gold jewelry, as no piercing salon does that in our hometown. Price wise, they are slightly more expensive than a typical tattoo/piercing salon. However, it's worth it if you're getting quality work done with quality jewelry. They scheduled my husband for a follow up, to monitor the healing of his piercing. Again, 10/10 professionalism. We will 100% be back and refer any friends/family to this location for work. read more

My nostril piercing was not happy a couple of days after a downsizing, so I returned to the studio to have it checked out. Sophie was so kind and helpful with tending to the piercing. And her after care tip to quickly reduce the swelling, worked like a charm! Thank you, Sophie! read more

Wonderful experience and the Staff couldn't have been more welcoming and knowledgeable. Naomi was excellent in helping me select my jewelry and Johnny took amazing care to make me comfortable and secure while he pierced. Absolutely recommend this location. read more

Nine Moons Piercing is a very clean establishment. The people who work there are very nice. They asked me if I wanted water when I got there. The person who did my ear piercing was great! He explained everything he was going to do. The new earrings that I was going to get were sterilized in the room I was in. I highly recommend Nine Moons Piercing! read more

I got my piercings done by Johnny Pearce. If you are looking for a professional piercing artist with lots of years of experience who is at the top of the game, I would recommend Johnny, especially if you are interested to do piercings that are particularly painful and in delicate areas. I was very nervous getting my piercings done but Johnny's expertise and calm and friendly attitude put me at ease and I felt safe and confident having my piercings done knowing that I'm getting them done by a professional in the field who has done this for many years. I got a total of 7 piercings done in 2 separate trips and I couldn't be more happier and pleased with the results! Go Johnny go, lol.. read more

Let me start off by saying this: my first visit to this business was about two years ago, when I received my nose piercing. I was a very pleasant experience however, today's visit left me feeling annoyed and upset. I booked an appointment in early June to get my nose ring changed - not re-pierced. There was no option on their website for me to input my COVID-19 status (vaccinated or reminder to have negative test results prior to the visit). I arrived early for my appointment as I drove all the way from NJ. I was then told that I wouldn't be seen unless I was vaccinated or had proof of a negative COVID-19 reading. I understand their protocol - which I accept but I was upset that no one bothered to look into my reservation ahead of time to inform me that their website had been updated to reflect this information. I wasted time, gas and toll money. My frustration is not with their work or services - but with their business and administrative practices. If you have a client a 2pm, look at your calendar ahead of time to see what your client needs to ensure you have the proper utensils or whatever you need to service the client. It's called customer service. Because of this experience, I will not be returning. read more

I came here Friday night, 20 mins late to my appointment bc of work... Waited around for a few bc I have been wanting to redo my piercings (had up to 10 ear piercings before but they were poorly done in college at St Mark's shops). They were able to accommodate me after around half an hr. I got three done. Total came out to about $400 pre tip? The service was A+++. Starr was so informative and nice. She made me feel at ease while getting them done. Will totally come back read more

Nine Moons Piercing - 2/3 Ear piercings - Piercing Near Me - New York, New York

Update: the nose piercing healed like a dream! I also got my conch pierced by Johnny yesterday. I originally came in for a rook piercing, but the stylists(Naomi and Marlena) warned me that it would be a rough healing process (and as long as I was fine with that, they would pierce me). I was like...hmm, maybe not. They were able to look at the shape of my ear and suggest a couple of piercings that would look good, so I went with the conch. I was TERRIFIED because it was my first cartilage piercing, but everybody was so nice and reassuring haha. Johnny is fantastic. He took so much care with piercing placement, making sure it would look good from all angles. And I barely felt a pinch during the actual process due to his fun inhale-exhale tactic :) highly highly recommend (FYI The only "con" is that I believe they mainly offer BVLA pieces - so the jewelry, while amazing quality, is on the pricier side.) read more

Nine Moons Piercing - Conch - Piercing Near Me - New York, New York

I booked an appointment to get my second lobe and helix done about a week ago and had a great experience! The jewelry selection here is so beautiful and Marlaena did an excellent job helping me pick each piece and was totally transparent with prices so there were no surprises. My piercings were done by Johnny Pearce and he was friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. He pays attention to detail, placed both piercings perfectly, and seemed just as excited as I was about the new bling! I couldn't be happier with the experience and will definitely be returning in the future! read more

Nine Moons Piercing - Second lobe with Tri Prong Cluster in yellow gold with diamonds by BVLA, helix with "Alana" (Oregon sunstone & CZ) by BVLA - Piercing Near Me - New York, New York

I came in to pierce my ear lobes (1st ever piercings!). And everything went so well! My appointment was with Sophie - she was so friendly and comforting. She also took great pains to explain what is going on and to make sure everything was clean. The rest of the staff was so nice, and were so helpful in helping me select an adorable set of heart shaped studs. The location itself had such a cool design. Will definitely visit again for my next piercing! read more

Covid safety measures in place and taken seriously but let's get to the good stuff... PROS: everything: * intake * friendly and inviting staff -- you literally get the feeling you can hang out with each one like friends * professional advisement. Johnny Pearce is the best. Again, he could be your buddy, but most importantly he knows what he is doing. (This is not the get your earrings done in a shopping mall experience, this is top notch stuff!) * good business. When you get the feeling that you want to come back, that's good business. I'm going to enjoy my diamond studs for a while but will come back for hoops. * jewelry selection CONS: absolutely none! read more

Nine Moons Piercing - Diamond stud in both ears by Johnny Pearce. - Piercing Near Me - New York, New York

These folks have a lovely racket going. Their website lists a $40 piercing fee. What is not mentioned is that the hardware they use (and they don't allow jewelry that hasn't been purchased onsite) rounds the total out to a tidy $200. Be warned. read more

This place was amazing! Everyone was super helpful, from the front desk people to Sophie who did my piercing. I had a few questions about other piercings I've gotten (at other places) and she gave me great advice. She also helped me replace my bellybutton piercing that needed to be changed asap. The place is super clean and very cute inside. Definitely recommend! read more

Can't recommend this place enough. Easy to make an appointment, very friendly staff and piercers, clean, and great jewelry designs (albeit expensive because it's all gold, etc). Plus the interior wallpaper gives major design goals. read more

Loved EVERYTHING about this experience :) I worked with Johnny for my first lobe piercing and he made me feel so comfortable + he and Starr were so kind.

Nine Moons Piercing - Left Lobe Piercing with 4mm Hammered Disk RG TL BVLA - Piercing Near Me - New York, New York

I got a PA piercing here a couple years ago. Johnny Pierce made it as easy as it could be. He was quick and I'm very pleased with it.

I have had my dermals for roughly three years (which is a lifetime for a "temporary" piercing). One of them finally began to reject (I knew the time would come eventually) and I was on the hunt for a place to go during my lunch hour to get it properly removed. I stumbled upon Nine Moons thanks to the trusty Yelp app and used the request an appointment feature. Starr got back to me within two hours and suggested I use the website to book an appointment with her. The website was easy to navigate and I was able to score an appointment for the following day with a $5 deposit. The shop is located within Sacred Tattoos on the second floor. It's a huge loft space overlooking Broadway and it's absolutely beautiful inside. Very industrial-looking but still awesome. The lady at the front desk was very nice and told me to have a seat since I was a little early. Naomi (who runs the front desk for Nine Moons) came over and checked out my piercing and gave me a quote for the removal. I LOVED that! It's better than lying down, having a piercing removed, then being told how much you'll wind up paying. The cost wasn't bad (might be considered expensive by others but you get what you paid for) and considering this meant a pro was taking it out with the proper tools? I was okay with that. Starr came over a few minutes later, introduced herself, took one look at my dermal and said, "yep, we need to remove that". I followed her to her room where piercings take place and she explained the aftercare then had my lay down and in two seconds and one pinch later the piercing was out. It pinched but I wouldn't say it actually hurt. She also offered to give me back the jewelry. I was literally in the shop for 20 mins tops from start to finish. Great service! I also asked Starr about a helix piercing with my tiny ears and she explained where she could do it. The original placement would most likely reject due to the limited real estate I have to offer. I love that she's honest, pleasant, and so so sweet. I can't wait to return after the summer for a piercing this time! No fun in letting a piercing heal when you want to swim and be out in the sun. read more

Had my nose pierced by Johnny Pearce. He was great! He explained the entire process and made me feel very comfortable. The place is very modern and clean. Definitely request Johnny to be pierced. read more

See all

Came back to this place for my second lobe piercing and Casey was amazing! She took the time to explain the procedure, what to expect, aftercare etc... and while I was nervous (don't do well with needles), Casey made me feel relax and comfortable, true professional! This is my go to spot for piercing and I've already recommended to a couple friends. The jewelry is expensive but you are paying for quality and given my ears are sensitive - I'd rather spend more to ensure my ears don't fall off lol Side note: i was the last appointment of the day before they close (6:30, I arrived at 6:25) and not once did I feel rushed. The lady at the front even told me "no rush, take your time" as I was completing the forms. Thank you Casey and the team at Nine Moons for making this a great experience! read more

The best piercing spot I've been to! I came in for an issue with a snug piercing I got a while ago at a different studio. You can make an appointment online so you don't have to wait upon arrival. The piercer was so kind and knowledgeable about what to do and the studio was super clean. I'm definitely coming back here for any future piercings. read more
