I took my partner here to get additional ear piercings. She had an appointment with Thor…read more After he took a look, he advised her that her ears were not suitable for another piercing due to the location of the existing piercing and the shape of her lobe. He took the time to explain the details to her and reasons why. He also said while he can do the piercing, it would not look the way she intended. He basically took the entire appointment time and ended up with nothing in return. He did not push any sales, and was very genuine and honest about it. She offered to purchase some earrings to compensate for his time and he refused. This is a business with high standards and strong integrity, and they have my full respect. Highly recommend them for this alone. There is metered street parking. Location is in chinatown, so you will see the usual sketchy drug addicts and homeless around - beware. But the staff here keep a lookout for you too and definitely have everyone's safety in mind.

I've been wanting to re-pierce my second lobe since 2 years ago when it did not heal properly. I…read moreresearched a lot of places before coming here, a lot of places, even the tattoo parlor use single use guns, but this place is different in which they used single use needle. During the pandemic, there is no walk-in and everyone has to book online even for jewelry viewing. I was trying to book for the earliest appointment for two people back to back, but it was not available on the website, so I called ahead and Thor managed to find a spot which is one hour apart which I ended up taking. Once we arrived, we confirmed our booking and went straight to jewelry selection. I talked a bit to Thor, that I wanted to re-pierce my second lobe, and if possible I would like to get the third one. He looked at my lobe, and felt around it, and said that second lobe is possible, but not the third one due to the cartilage being to close. I had hard time choosing the jewelry, all of it are gold, and pretty pricy, but I managed to narrow it down to a few. One of the staff offered to hold the jewelry ageist my ear, so I could see how it looks on me on the mirror. After deciding, Thor took the jewelry and sterilised it, then he brought me to the room at the back. He cleaned my ear, and while doing that he asked me if I have any concern or question. He answered all my question, and pierced my ear without much pain. I was really satisfied with the service here, would recommend!

My ear-piercing experience with Adrenaline seemed fine, meaning staff were friendly and helpful,…read moreand didn't treat me like I was in the wrong place simply because I'm a senior citizen. My granddaughter also felt her experience there was fine. We both had earlobe piercings but at different times. Well, all WAS fine until we tried to remove the studs. We were both told to leave them in for 6 or 8 weeks (can't recall) but I waited another couple of weeks just to be safe. One stud came out fine but the other one seemed to be caught somehow. It was really painful and my ear bled when I tried to remove the stud. I left it in but felt alarmed that even though I'd left it for two extra weeks it was still raw and bloody. Every time I tried to remove it the pain was intense and there was still blood. Weirdly enough, my granddaughter had a very similar experience with hers. One came out fine, but one "caught", hurt, and bled. We left them in longer and kept hoping they would heal and be fine. I finally got mine out without it bleeding, but it was very difficult to put in an earring. It just felt blocked or not completely pierced. It was painful and uncomfortable. Same experience for my gdaughter. She also couldn't put in earrings without feeling blocked and hurting in one earlobe. I gave up trying to use that piercing because it hurt too much and still bled a little. I went back to Adrenaline and told the female at the front counter about our unsatisfactory and painful experience. There was no sympathy or apology or any apparent interest. She just told me we could have them redone for $75 each, which was 50% MORE than we'd paid in the first place! I would think a reputable, established shop (which I thought Adrenaline was) would offer a redo, at least on the affected ears, but she barely looked at me, just offered to book us in, again, for more money than we'd already paid! No doubt they would just try to blame us, say we did something wrong, took the studs out too soon... or I don't know what. They certainly showed no interest in finding out what had gone wrong or how it happened that two clients had the same painful experience and were unable to wear their pierced earrings after paying to have their ears pierced! I don't get it. Maybe they just don't care about the service they provide and their customers. Too bad. Adrenaline is very conveniently located for us but now we are looking for ANOTHER piercing place to get our earlobes pierced yet again, spending more money, when we should be happy with our Adrenaline piercings and experience. I cannot recommend Adrenaline, based on our unhappy outcomes.

I actually went to Adrenaline after visiting another place that told me that there's a risk of migration/rejection due to the shape of my belly button. I went to adrenaline looking to get a second opinion and they said that migration or rejection is due to the piercing itself more so than the person's anatomy. I thought that was interesting and found both places to have a reasonable backing to their explanation (but then again, I don't know that much to begin with). Overall, the experience at Adrenaline was pleasant and there was minimal pain. I give this place a 4 as I think they can be more thorough with explaining their equipment prep procedure and the aftercare for piercing. This picture is 2 weeks after piercing and the cost was ~$80 (jewellery included).

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. I'm incredibly disappointed with my experience at Studio 4 by Body…read moreMods at Willowbrook. I've had my nose pierced since I was 14 and have never had an issue -- until I came here. I had a new stud put in, and within an hour of leaving the shop, it completely fell out. I followed aftercare instructions and did nothing to dislodge it. When I called to explain what happened, I expected a little understanding or accountability, especially since it had just been done. Instead, I was offered a discounted rate to have it re-pierced -- not a full waiver, even though this was clearly not a fault on my end. But the manager showed zero remorse, offered no solution that reflected any genuine customer service, and left me feeling dismissed and frustrated. Now I'm left without a piercing and can't afford to get it re-done because they wouldn't take accountability. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this felt like a complete lack of care for their clients. Do better. PS. the person who put in my stud was very lovely and seems experienced. I don't want this to reflect on them but instead on how the situation was handled.

I came in to resolve an…read moreissue with my Helix account, and instead of receiving support, I was met with unnecessary hostility and a completely unprofessional attitude from an employee named Amanda A. From the moment I explained the issue, Amanda A was rude, dismissive, and acted as if I was bothering her. She immediately took an accusatory tone, spoke over me, and made assumptions without even listening to the full situation. At no point did she attempt to be helpful -- instead, she made it clear she had no interest in resolving the problem and treated me as if I had done something wrong. This kind of behavior is unacceptable from anyone representing a customer-facing business. I've had positive experiences at other locations, but this interaction left a very negative impression. I strongly hope management addresses this, as no customer should be treated this way.

I'm very disappointed in my service today especially since I trusted Staci. The good reviews and…read moreher experience was something I trusted and was even confident in. This piercer had a lot of red flags and in hindsight I should've not even gotten it done there as soon as I saw the equipment, and even before I got there because Staci was just brushing me and my concerns/questions off before the actual session. The first red flag was she had her apprentice pierce me and she wasn't even there to supervise. 2nd red flag was them using bioflex (which is made out of plastic and should never be used for initial piercings and titanium is the only appropriate piercing to be used, they were touting it like it was the best thing to use though) I should've walked out as soon as I saw that because never in my life have I been pierced with bioflex, it's always titanium flatbacks. They used 18g needles and said my piercing will heal as 20g too which is not a good gauge for cartilage piercings, they told me to just stretch it which is counterintuitive, CARTILAGE IS MORE RIGID AND WILL CAUSE ME A LOT MORE PAIN TO STRETCH!!!. I went to an APP store and they said while the piercing was straight, it's just the jewelry was highly inappropriate bc it's a corkscrew for nose piercings. Anyways I came back and Staci just exploded at me saying it was an insult I got a second opinion and just very passive aggressively telling me to sit down and she'll put metal in my ear if I wanted that so bad. It made me highly uncomfortable and I didn't even mean to insult her, besides she can't even be mad because it was her apprentice and NOT HER who pierced me. I spent 50 bucks to be berated and I will not be going back again. I felt very blindsided especially since she's been saying she uses surgical steel, even that's better than bioflex. I feel SCAMMED. Avoid this piercer. She was very defensive and mean, I have the RIGHT to get a second opinion because it's my body, no reason for her to be so unprofessional and raise her voice at a customer like that. I asked her to educate me on bioflex and she got even madder and defensive. Traumatic experience.
