    The slit caused by the crooked piercing that was too close to the edge.
    Diana D.

    Have been a repeat customer who was very happy with my previous experiences & piercer; however, I will not be returning. A month ago, I went in for a double helix & conch piercing. I was offered studs or hoops. I chose hoops, not realizing that hoops are NOT recommended by the Association of Professional Piercers. Since I am not a professional piercer, I rely on the professional doing the piercing to guide me appropriately. As a medical professional, if a patient asks me to perform a procedure with the wrong equipment, I don't just say "well, that's what you asked for" (As the owner has stated on another review mentioning hoops should not be used) My piercer this time was Tana. She was rushed and frustrated because it was very busy, which was understandable...however, she pierced my conch crooked and the hoop caused my hole to 'slit' into a buttonhole shape. 3 weeks after the piercing, I went to an APP recommended studio and the piercer was VERY thorough and recommended that I remove the conch piercing and allow it to heal, as the piercing was so crooked and way to close to the edge of my ear....it was more a snonch, but due to the crooked hoop, an appropriate labret would likely reject. I'm so disappointed that I spent the money, pain and time for a piercing that was done incorrectly from the start. ***RESEARCH YOUR PIERCING PRIOR TO GETTING IT HERE....make sure you have the knowledge to request the correct piercing jewelry, because apparently it is your responsibility, not the professional's*** Edited to add for owner- you are correct, I should have reviewed the positive experiences I had. Both were actually with you years ago for both my daith piercings and it was a wonderful experience. Unfortunately, I was not a 'Yelp' person or reviewer at the time. I will respectfully disagree with your opinion, as there are even multiple reviews here stating the issues with hoops and it is widely recommended worldwide not to pierce with hoops due to the extended healing time & higher risks. AND, the fact that the conch was incorrectly placed AND crooked was a separate issue from the hoop. Unfortunately, I am not in Texas, as I travel full-time & had to have immediate action for the issue, or I would have reached out to you. I'm happy to call later this week.

    Nose piercing for the birthday girl
    LaShundra W.

    Went in for my daughter's nose piercing. The front desk staff was very pleasant. The only down side was the wait. It got very busy, very quickly! We originally arrived at about 12:40 and there was no car in sight. Made it back about 1:05 and it was a full house!! It took a little bit over an hour for us to get to the back. Once there, the process was awesome! Our piercer Ally was kind, professional, and reassuring to my daughter. She explained everything that was going to happen and talked to her every step of the way! She didn't try to push products on us and gave us great follow up advice. I definitely would recommend!

    Inner Conch piercing w/Taylor

    I Hardly Ever leave reviews but am compelled to leave one for my great experience yesterday... fully believing that Taylor was a Godsend! It had been very many years since I got my last piercing, and yesterday was my first time at The Pin Cushion; though I didn't special request for Taylor, I'm so thankful it was her -- she 100% understood the assignment and knew Exactly what (and who) I was going for in terms of piercing placement... We even Netflix shows bonded over it. Thank you Taylor -- my "Nell" conch piercing is perfect!!! I just hope you see this review XX

    Nose Stud Piercing
    Cheryl D D.

    I decided that I wanted a nose stud Piercing at the age of 74. Well I was certainly nervous and the oldest person in there. They made me feel welcomed and at ease. It was somewhat painful but quick. I don't regret it. I followed the instructions for cleaning and used their products. It's been over a month and it's healing well. I now want s real diamond stud, so I'll purchase and let them change it for me. I highly recommend The Pin Cushion in Frisco, TX, you won't be disappointed. Cheryl D

    Nervously waiting while everything is explained. I love that she put a tattoo marker dot to approve the location.

    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Plan 3-4 hours between check-in and actually being seen, but stay close enough to check in in person about 1-1.5 hrs in--that's what's happened twice. Here's my second experience: I wanted to swap my nose piercing out and knowing how quickly they can closer freaked me out so I wanted to spend the $10 to have someone do it. My original stud ended up being tightly wound so I'm glad I did this. First off, quality-wise, this place is great. Customer service is pretty good. The staff is good about setting expectations "we're running behind" and "I'm going to do x, then y, then Z." It's the reason I keep coming back--I'll take a horrible wait to go somewhere with excellent hygiene and to avoid infections or worse. That said, this time I waited xxxx. I checked in at 3:50 and I was 17th on the online waitlist or e-list. I got a text at 5:17 to say it was my turn and the e-list showed I was 3rd. Went in and the staff member told me they were behind and I could wait in the car so she could text (the list still had 12 people even though the e-list said I was 3rd--I think when they text they move you from the e list to the written list. 10 mins later (5:26) I got another text saying it was almost my turn. I popped in but nothing had changed. My husband and kids were waiting in the car and on my last visit this part took an hour. So I asked the receptionist-type-gal how long I had as I live about 20 mins away and needed to take my husband home. She said I had plenty of time. At 6:29 I got a text saying it was my turn. I went in, happened to get Little Taylor who had pierced me. She's great, good at communicating. I also liked that she had done the tightly wound piercing. She had to pull pretty hard against the stud using two surgical pliers going opposite directions, but didn't hurt me. I paid and walked out at 6:40. The wait was horrendous, but I liked that I had SOME freedom. I recommend communicating expectations as much as possible. The service and quality and cleanliness is amazing. And yes, I would absolutely go back which is why I MUST give a high review despite the long wait that is miscommunicated by the current waitlist system. Thanks for coming to my show.

    Got my first ear lobe piercing here. Wait wasn't very long as I went on a weekday afternoon, but I heard from a friend who went here before that it does get pretty busy. Taylor H was my piercer. She was careful and diligent, making sure that my holes were even (my lobes are fat and shaped weird lol). I was nervous as this was my first piercing ever, but she made me feel comfortable :) Price of piercing includes the jewelry. They do sell soap and spray, but they don't force you to buy it and suggest alternatives. It's been about a month since I've gotten my ears pierced, and I don't have any problems!

    Navel piercing
    Blessy S.

    Found this women owned and operated piercing shop that is conveniently connected to a tattoo shop (steel paintbrush)! They do walk ins only. I unfortunately came right after they accepted walk-ins. The owner was nice enough to advice me to come 15-20 mins before they open the next day. Did that and was the second person in line. They got me in and helped me pick out my jewelry for my piercings. (I did my naval and daith). My lady was very professional and did a great job! I love my piercings!

    She signed to say she loves it!

    Such an awesome experience getting mother-daughter double high lobe piercings with Tex and Olive…read more They were professional and we love the way the piercings look. Love even more that this neighborhood business is female owned and operated!!

    DO NOT GO HERE. My…read moreexperience with this place was around a year ago, but I was reminded of the place today when I saw a tiktok of a girl showing her experience here and how bad it was. I just want to caution others to do your research before coming here. My boyfriend came in to see if he could get a replacement ball for his anti-eyebrow piercing because he was missing one. They did not have it but offered to change out the piercing bar instead. He ended up agreeing because he didn't have enough time to go anywhere else and figured it wouldn't be a big deal. The lady (i don't remember her name but she looked like a white girl with black hair and she also had an apprentice with her) said she was could do it and made it seem like she knew what she was doing. SHE DID NOT. For those who don't know, the bar is like a staple shape and this piercing can easily reject. he has had this piercing for YEARS and never had any issues- it was perfect till she touched it. It took her about 20 minutes and she was just tugging and pulling and digging around in the hole of his piercing trying to get the other jewelry in. I could tell she was getting frustrated and she basically ended up re-piercing the hole he had but not good at all- much closer to the surface, and tried to play it off like it was switched when she really just re-pierced it. He still has the piercing but it's not the same at all. The edges come out more and the middle between the balls always looks swollen because the bar is too close to the surface and the built up scar tissue. It's okay if someone is still learning piercings, but you have to be honest about your experience when it comes to easily rejected piercings like this. At the end of the day what's done is done, but they need to do better and I would not recommend this place to anyone (especially after seeing the recent tiktok that blew up) which is a shame because it seemed like it was a women owned shop which we wanted to support.
