    2nd & 3rd piercings.
    Alexandra G.

    Elvis did my 2nd & 3rd ear piercing! He was so careful with the placements and he was patient with my indecisiveness. It wasn't an easy job because my ears are asymmetrical AND I had my second hole done poorly by a different shop. This shop was clean & spacious, everyone wore a mask and it was a comfortable. The other workers doing tattoos were kind to, it was a relaxed environment.

    I came here after being recommended by a friend to Rey. He did my entire sleeve over the period of 10 months or so. The entire staff is awesome. All of the artists are extremely talented. I actually got excited to go each time because I knew it was going to be fun to see everyone. Reys work is amazing. I recommended 3 of my friends, all whom ended up going to him for work as well. If you're looking for a comfy environment to get solid work done, this is the place. Plan on getting a lot more done in the future as well. Here are some pics of his work on me :)

    Upon arrival to shop, temperature is taken. Clients are asked to wear masks and use hand sanitizer. There is social distancing between clients. All artists are wearing masks and gloves. Eli performed two piercings for me. He was extremely sweet and kind. I was nervous and he walked me through the piercing process and provided thorough instructions for aftercare. An outstanding experience and true example of customer satisfaction. Thanks!

    Got my first tattoo done here with Rey. We talked about anime the whole time. Need I say more?! Jokes aside, I had a really great experience. Very clean, professional, and they played great music. 10 out of 10, would get tatted again.

    So it's been a year now since I've gotten this tattoo. The lines are still as clear and solid as the day I got it. I constantly get compliments on it, and it is 100% the favorite of all my tattoos. To top it all off, the guy was so gentle that I took a whole nap while he was working. Sadly cannot remember his name, but he has mad skills.

    I was looking to get a quote from my grandpa for a while. I looked all over the internet for an artist or a shop. Honestly it was exhausting, luckily enough my friend recommenced Not For Nothing Tattoos. I went into their Instagram and say the various artist. I also crossed reference with yelp and noticed that the artist I was interested in, Natasha, got many praises within the Yelp community. So it was easy, I dm her through Instagram and was able to set everything. @turbo.tash was friendly and made the booking process so simple. When I went for the appointment the shop made me feel at home. The crew was very personable and easy to talk to, honestly making the experience better. I ended up scheduling an appointment for the next day to get tattoos with my Mum and I am planning on coming back for More. Not for Nothing Tattoos is THE place to go!!!!

    Destiny is the best. I am thrilled that I got my first tatt from her. It was worth the trip. I may make another one later on.

    Rey and his team always take care of me! I now have 6 pieces by Rey- a 1/2 sleeve and the beginning of a full sleeve as well as a piece on my neck. Instagram: @mileena_fox

I made an appointment and paid the $100 reservation fee online. I was reminded several times of my appointment. There is a website and Ms. Smith has an Instagram account with many photos of her work. There are many 5-star reviews here on Yelp. I live in New Mexico, where piercings are done in tattoo parlors by rough-looking men. That wasn't the experience I wanted. Ms. Smith is thoroughly professional and competent. She spent time with me concerning my previous earlobe piercings, which had closed up over time. She went over the earrings choices with details about stones and white vs. yellow gold. I never felt rushed. I ended up purchasing two sets of lightning bolt earrings with tiny stones, one pair in each gold color. She was meticulous in positioning and marking my lobes. The actual piercing of both ears was quick and almost painless. I was given an instruction card detailing home care of the new piercings. Clinical Ear Piercing by Rachel Smith offers a very professional and comfortable client experience. I highly recommend this business.

Clean, quick and nice little selection of earrings. I wasn't sure my daughter was going to get the second ear pierced after the first one but after a lollipop was provided, she mustered the courage for ear #2. She walked out skipping and smiling and so excited to show everyone her pretty new earrings. Highly recommend!

The piercer helped me decide if the piercing would work with my ear anatomy and I really appreciate her taking the time to make sure the piercing would work before we began. I decided on the Daith piercing which can be a little spicy in the best of times. My piercer took her time, explained every step of the process, and the piercing went smoothly. After she was finished, she told me how to take care of my new piercing and answered all my questions-and there were a lot of questions. Overall, I am very pleased and will go back again.

My daughter received a total of 3 piercings and I received one piercing - paid north of $700. The first time one of my daughter's piercings fell out, they fixed it with no questions asked, no documentation needed. It fell out again this morning, the person who helped us EVERY SINGLE TIME, asked for an original receipt before they put the piercing back in. We didn't have the original receipt and they only had the signed waivers (seriously?!?!?). The person who rang us out each time said the person who rang us out (you) must have not sent you the original receipt and the waivers aren't enough. We showed him the receipt where they fixed it a couple weeks ago and we weren't asked for documentation then and he still refused to perform the service without payment. We paid him the $65 and he told us to take it up with corporate (we will be) and kept saying how nice he was and we shouldn't be angry. The piercer had the nerve to want a tip after this interaction. Good luck with that! Niceness + incompetence doesn't = great customer service. Stay far away from this place.

My first piercer (2024?) was a guy-- I didn't get his name-- but then Tetiana did my most recent piercing (March 2026). And I'd highly recommend either of them as piercers! The prices here are a bit high, in my opinion... the cheapest price for two basic, "starter" earlobe piercings was ~$110. But I feel like the price is worth it because they are super sterile, surgical-grade, extremely knowledgeable in any piercing placement, and seem like they have many years of experience, no matter which piercer you go to. They're super thorough and sterile with everything, which obviously matters most. I highly recommend and will continue to go back in the future!

The selection is rather vast, even amongst more affordable price ranges without being faulty on quality, which I found was pleasantly surprising. Staff here seemed knowledgable regarding my situation (conch jewelry from another shop fell out and wanted to replace it whatever tickled my fancy here). They recommended me a bunch of options and after I picked out my piece I was good to go. It was around $60 total for a little conch jewelry that was both threadless and just the right size. I would 1000% go back here if I needed jewelry in a pinch or wasn't looking for a specific piece in particular. It has both high-end quality pieces and many other somewhat affordable options as well. As they don't promote low quality jewelry, I don't expect to spend anything less than $30 a piece.
