    Went with my bestie randomly and we both got tattoos that we loved. And got matching nose piercings. Such a fun trip amazing people. Jimmy (Jim) did our tattoos and Anthony did our piercings 10-10 recommend and will be coming back very soon. Owners are also the kindest people ever !! Definitely one of the more cleaner tattoo and piercing places.

    A friend and I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon looking to get our cartilages pierced. I searched Yelp for piercing shops and came across The End is Near - they had a ton of 5 star reviews and accepted walk ins (according to this Yelp page) so me and my friend drove over to check it out. When we walked in, I realized they have a mask mandate so I began putting my mask on. I literally had my mask in my hand right about to put it on my face when someone stuck their head out of the back and told me I had to wear my mask...obviously you can see I'm putting it on. Then someone came out from the back and we told them we were looking to get our cartilages pierced to which he told us he was fully booked and we needed an appointment. I told him that their Yelp page (which they are very active on as I see the business owner frequently responds to reviews and makes updates) says "walk ins welcomed" and he asked me to show him, which I did (screenshot below). He then said "oh sorry about that" and told me he could only pierce one of us because he had one cancellation. That didn't work for us because we obviously both wanted a piercing. In my opinion, since their Yelp page has wrong information on it, we should have been accommodated for the inconvenience. We went out of our way to come here solely based on the information on their Yelp page, which again, they are frequently logging into so if walk ins aren't accepted, they should update their page. I could have looked at their website, but since they are so active on Yelp, I assumed all the information was up to date. We were annoyed and just left and went a few blocks away where we were able to be accommodated. The apology obviously meant nothing because as of the date and time of this review, Yelp still says walk ins welcome.

    Rook by Anthony, helix by Chris

    I got my rook and helix pierced by Anthony and Chris, respectively, and had wonderful experiences both times. Both piercers are friendly, professional and know how to make their clients feel at ease. They are always willing to discuss the best placements for your jewelry given your anatomy. At the end of the appointment, you are provided with an aftercare sheet as well as the option to purchase saline spray. The shop itself is super sanitary; they take covid precautions seriously. (Contactless release forms, strict adherence to mask rules, limited capacity) What I think makes TEIN special is that although they are a speciality piercing shop, they carry quality jewelry for all budgets. With the popularity of constellation piercings, I have been drawn to curated ears but didn't want to drop so much money on my initial pieces. I love that TEIN is unpretentious in that way. My piercings are healing well, and I will definitely be back for more!

    In love with my new Conch piercing by Anthony at The End Is Near!

    ...So a friend of mine spontaneously decided she want to get another piercing and asked me if I would like to accompany her and get a piercing too since I have and was talking about getting more...After a brief search on Maps we stumbled on TEIN...After looking at their website and seeing the ease to get pierced we called and made an appointment for each of us ...We made our way to the shop and as first impressions go it was very appealing and looked clean...We then told the person at the front desk (Anthony) what we were there for and then proceeded to choose the jewelry for each our piercings with his guidance..Once that was done and all the forms were filled we then each went in to get pierced..He was clean and thorough and overall patient with us and the end result is that we were absolutely pleased!...If you are ever in Brooklyn check them out!

    End result!

    I loved the experience so much that I went back and got my navel pierced. Trying to figure out what I'm going to pierce next.

    Ask the Community - The End Is Near

    Do you guys do PA's?

    Yes! We suggest calling the shop to discuss the procedure with a piercer, determine the best piercer for the task, and set up an appointment. (347) 335-0846

    What is the minimum age to get a nose piercing with parental consent? I am 15 and would love to get one with my parents present. Thanks :)

    Hi! Thanks for your inquiry. You must be at least 16 for nose piercings, and a government issued ID is required for both CHILD and PARENT / LEGAL GUARDIAN for all children… 

    Am i able to lay down for a nipple piercing or do i have to sit up?

    You lay down.

    How much It for a Helix piercing?

    Hi Aline, thanks for your interest in our shop! Please call during business hours, and we would be happy to answer that question and any others you have. Looking forward to speaking with you!

    Is it wise to use topical numbing agents prior to receiving a tattoo to reduce pain? If you can use it, when should you apply it? What products are best? Thanks!

    How much is it for a belly piercing?

    It depends on what jewelry you pick. When i got it done, the piercing fee was $35, the jewelry was 60... and plus tax, it came out to $102.. but it all depends on what jewelry you pick...

    Would a school ID be a sufficient form of ID for a minor looking to get a piercing?

    No, your parent will have to bring you in with their ID as well as ID for you which can be either a passport, drivers permit or birth certificate.

    How much is it for a septum piercing? How much does the jewelry for a septum piercing cost?

    $35 for the septum piercing. The jewelry is going to range different prices depending on what you choose!

    What's the price for cartilage piercing? Do I need to make an appointment? Thanks!

    Not sure but I do know they only go by appointments

    How much is it to get a nose piercing and is it done with a gun?

    Not sure about the price, but you can definitely give them a call. They're really friendly and helpful both over the phone and in person. It's definitely not done with a gun though. Professional piercers would never use a gun because it's unsafe and… 

    Hi! how do you pierce, gun or needle? thanks!

    Needle

    Hi How are you? I want to get my nose pierced. When can I get an appointment?…

    How much to go UP in gauges and for the proper plugs while healing in that new size? Thank you.

    How much for a nose piercing? I'm 17 do I need a parent to come also?

    How much for a daith plus jewelry?

    Hey, what's the rate for a set of nipple piercings? Also I saw it says appointment only, but on the website walk ins are welcome. Which is preferred?

    How old do you have to be to get a cartilage piercing?

    I'm extremely upset with the piercing side of this shop. I asked a person there with help opening…read moreup my 8 gauge septum ring, and the first thing i noticed was the look of uncertainty. The second thing was the lack of correct equipment. He used thick rusty pliers (which is incredibly risky because this piercing is STILL HEALING!!) and scissors instead of ring opening pliers of flat nose pliers. My brand new, expensive jewlery broke in his hands without compensation. He stated "this is the risk that you take". However, no risk was stated and there was no debriefing done. I've had rings of a similar gauge opened just fine. I'm very disappointed because My jewelry broke before I could wear it out and it was a waste of money because I cannot wear it anymore. He stated to me that "i've never seen a septum piercing this large before" which i could understand, but to me it shows that he should've declined the job if he knew he didn't have experience in it. This is my second weird experience with my septum piercing at this shop. The first time was when the piercer tried telling me what gauge i was at (assumed 16) and debated with me about with me knowing it was a 12. Then proceeded to say 20 gauge is thicker and 16 is thinner, which is opposite. The people on the piercing side here do not know what they are doing.

    I got a tattoo by Shamil which was around 2 inches and simple line work and it was not the best. We…read morehad discussed and printed out exactly what the tattoo would be before hand. It's basically a hand snapping with little stars and planets around it. The problem is that the hand wasn't done as neatly as I would've liked it to be. The stars were not either, they are VERY simple stars. What left a bad taste in my mouth was after the tattoo was done I'd also realized he left some little but major details out. When I left the shop I observed my tattoo more and more until I realized and had to go back to tell him what he forgot. He apologized and added what was missing. As I started to leave the shop I realized he forgot to bandage me again, so I reminded him. Apologized again. Apologies are great and all but if you are in the profession of putting PERMANENT tattoos on peoples bodies you should be taking this WAY more seriously! Just my opinion! I will not go back. Also, if you are staff and look at a customer come into your shop.. SAY HELLO.
