Very clean and nice staff. James is very personable and was very kind to me. Highly recommend.

Walk-in welcome! Love that concept! Place was clean upon entry and was greeted by the James the piercing artist! We got straight to it and he walked me through the process! He was gentle and I barely b felt anything. Would recommend a quick under 5-10 minute process. read more

Very professional, clean and knowledgeable! I got 3 piercings done and James talked me through all of them which helped calm my nerves. The placement is absolutely perfect and the whole process was really great! They even do follow ups to make sure everything is healing correctly! Green flags all the way!! read more

James is excellent; he explained everything and made it all very clear, what to do, what not to do et cetera. Noted the difference between barbells and hoops when changing mine out. Piercing price waaayyyy too expensive for me, I should've just said no once I found out how much it was... but my piercer is in FL and this one had good reviews so I was like okay whatevs. BUT I have never, NEVER paid so much for an ear piercing, even at the priciest piercing place I've been to. 45$ are you F***ING KIDDING ME. "CoVID related," but still. Even high nostril piercings I got I only paid 35 each for. During CoVID. It's absolutely *astounding.* Not really happy with the placement of my piercing either. I mean I trust piercers to do what they do, but ik how I wanted mine; the result doesn't match my vision and I would just take it out, but ik I can get more to fix how it looks so it's fine whatever and also I'm not about to waste the 50$ I can't even believe I paid for this ear hole. Not in a decade of piercing shops have I ever EVER seen prices like that. The alternative jewelry I got was also too expensive for me - justified by CoVID, "of course," but it's literally JUST plain stainless steel. No gems, no extra snaz, just HQ metal *not* from China. K cool. NOTE: Don't justify the price with quality because a higher price does NOT *necessarily* guarantee better piercings/experience. My shop in Tampa is definitely superior (no offense) with MUCH better jewelry options, phenomenally educated piercers and not as pricey EVEN during CoVID. Forreal THE best I've experienced, only got a piercing today because I don't want to wait another x months for it; Tampa lead piercer is 30 years strong, I'd like to meet one that can say that. Just saying there's nothing special about this place, it's just expensive and not low quality, plain boring lame jewelry. Again no offense, but my thoughts. I've been ranting about how much this place sucked all day. Shooting stars, literally only came here cuz it was the closest to my house. Conclusion... will NOT be going back. read more

These guys were amazing! As soon as I walked in I was very friendly greeted by two workers. They got my info & got me all set. James went ahead and started prepping the room. He made sure to ask which side I wanted it on 2 different times to avoid piercing the wrong side of my nose. He explained everything and made sure I understood. He explained aftercare very detailed! I didn't catch the females name, but she was super friendly & helpful as well! If I was a local, this would be the only place I came to get my piercings!!! read more

James is the best, the prices are great, the place is clean! Can't wait to go back for my next piercing.

This is my second piercing with many more to go done by Ariana. Her level of professionalism is extraordinary and her pleasant personality is a plus plus. I have experienced piercers that were not as thorough with the after care procedures, so it is really telling that Ariana actually cares about her clients because she is very knowledgeable when it comes to answering any questions you may have. The facility always smells extremely clean and it looks very well sanitized. I enjoy coming here to get pierced by Ariana, and I will be coming back very soon once I can change my jewelry to something smaller and for a third piercing! read more

The actual person piercing (Katie) was professional and informative. The manager however, was NOT! Before the COVID-!9 shut down, I got my nose pierced. Due to the shut down, I could not attend my follow up appointment to get my piercing looked at, etc. My nose ended up getting an infection! I had no choice but to remove the piercing myself, which resulted in my piercing closing up. I called the manager, in hopes of getting my nose re-pierced (free of charge), once restrictions are lifted. HE OUT-RIGHT REFUSED and was completely non-sympathetic that I had waited YEARS, to get a piercing that cost me $101, only to get what looks like a permanent pimple! I have another welt-looking bump in addition, that I will have to see the doctor for, leading to me paying MORE in medical bills! He also refused a refund! I am in shock of the poor quality in customer service! It's just a no-brainer to take care of your customers! The likely-hood of me purchasing more jewelry, referring, possibly paying to get more piercings would have been more profitable than being greedy and risking a LAWSUIT! read more

Super clean area. They also had paperwork ready and it was just all professional. I got a nose piercing it was literally painless, i definitely recommend piercing perfection to anyone who wants to get pierced read more

Went by on Saturday 3/15 to get dermal piercing jewelry changed out. I had two I wanted to change the jewelry on, one on my wrist and one behind my ear. I'd intended to get my other wrist and other side of my neck done as well. After calling to confirm this could be done, when I arrive I'm told "Oops, sorry we're out" so he couldn't do the piercing. Gee buddy, don't ya think when I called you could have checked first?? I was not happy and as I was about to leave, he said he would at least swap out my jewelry for me, free of charge. Upon looking at the one behind my ear he said he wouldn't touch it. Said it was super infected! Freaked me out!! He did agree to change the jewelry on my wrist one. That was a nightmare. He couldn't get the jewelry off. He tried to twist off with his fingers. Then he tried with a tool. Then he tried yanking HARD two times before finally giving up. Here's the kicker. I headed straight to another dermal piercing shop, and the woman got it off EASY CHEESY!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to this idiot apparently turning it the wrong way, my wrist was swollen for two days (4 inch area) and BRUISED! Awful experience. Oh AND fyi, the woman who was able to get the jewelry off said the one behind my ear was a bit tender looking but certainly not infected. She replaced both of my dermal piercing jewelry AND was able to perform the new dermal piercings I was hoping to get. I will never return to Piercing Perfection and I hope others read this review and think twice. read more

I went two months ago and got my nose pierced and has a wonderful experience. This past weekend I came by there to get a ring since ample time had passed for my nose to heal. Went by FRIDAY the 13th during business hours. No one was there. No sign, no warning nothing. Found their Facebook page and asked if they would be open the next day. They said yes until 4pm. Went Saturday at 1PM and surprise NO ONE WAS FREAKING THERE. I called their number multiple times no answer. Afterwards I went to my original Facebook post and let hem know that I did come by and I got no reply. No apology nothing. There was no announcement on their page about being absent either. There's nothing I dislike more than having my time wasted. Want to get pierced? Call first. Or just hope they feel like operating a business that day. Gladly I was able to go to another business on Rivers Ave and they were more than willing to work and change my piercing out. read more

I used to use a different place in Charleston for all of my piercings. They weren't bad at all, but the difference is that James actually makes sure to take care of his work. He'll pierce you (for a great price) and then set up a follow up appointment 2 weeks later to check on the piercing and assess any issues (or any questions) you might have. I loved my regular shop, but after seeing James, I'm glad I took the chance by going to him. I would recommend him always and he will def be the only place I go for piercings from now on. read more

Very professional and friendly. The shop was clean and Jame is hygienic. We have been to several other shops locally and can NOT say the same for their shops or staff. This is the only place I will go or allow my children to go to. read more

Saved me today! I couldn't get my nose ring back in and they were so willing to help. Thank you.

James is a pleasure to work with. Professional, sincere and great at his craft are some words I would use to describe him. He has very thorough knowledge and lots of experience. I have three piercings by him and everything has always gone very smoothly. His shop is clean. He is great about reassuring you and discussing your concerns before proceeding. He's the only piercer I've been to in the Charleston area, but I don't see any reason to look any further. I've been to his shop about 6 times for various reasons and he has never been anything but courteous and attentive and everything has always been fine. Not sure what Zaida's problem was but hey, some people just have bad karma! read more

Amazing customer service, clean, fun atmosphere. Skilled piercing artists, & affordable prices! Got my rook done & James did it right! Its the best rook piercing I've seen. Going back to get 2 micros. read more

This is the only piercing shop I will use in Charleston. Well in South Carolina actually! I had my microdermabrasions done here and because I'm a nurse my scrubs constantly messed them up for life in the ER. Every time I messed them up the owner was more than willing to help in anyway he could. He's always there to answer questions. He goes above and beyond for his customers. I love this place and you will too! read more

I've been going to piercing perfection for 3 years now. I love the customer service and knowledge that the owner has in his job. Would never go anywhere else. I drove all the way from Alabama once to have my dermals removed because of a job.....The best! read more

Let me tell you about Piercing Perfection, this is the best of the best when it comes to piercing! James is one of a kind and will go out of his way just to make sure each and every customer gets the best service possible. I have read all of his reviews on all the social media outlets and anyone can see that the only negative review I could find was from a rival shop here in town. James is a class act and he is the only person I trust to pierce my daughters. He explains in detail exactly how things will be done, and what you need to do in order to take care of your piercing. He and his shop is a class act. Clean and well maintained. A+ in my book. That is why he has been voted number one by his actual clients so many times (unlike shops that spend all day voting for themselves in order to just get in City Paper).. read more

I got my tragus pierced by the local shop apprentice, who seemed shy and very nervous. The initial piercing went fine however after a couple weeks the piercing became irritated and the shop offered to change my earring. This seemed like a great idea until the apprentice placed an 18g earring into my tragus when it was originally was pierced with a 16g. When i noticed the mistake i tried to tell her that the earring was the wrong size, instead of listening to me she decided to argue and insist that what she put in my tragus was the "right" size. I ended up having to go to another shop a couple weeks later to have an actual 16g earring put in place for my piercing to heal. My point is, If you want a good piercing done at this shop request the owner or you'll end up having to spend more money in order to fix something that should have been corrected the first time. read more

Love this place!!!!! James is the ONLY person I will ever go to again!!!!!! Not only does he have great prices but he has quick hands. None of the piercings I have received have hurt!!!!!!!!!! You're awesome James!!!!! read more

Piercing perfection is by far the best shop I've ever been to. The owner James is great at what he does and was very welcoming when I visited his shop. He's done a few of my piercings and even helped with the after care. He is very compassionate about his work and its very obvious he knows what hes doing. I will never visit another shop again and will always recommend piercing perfection. read more
