I had an absolutely fantastic experience at The Body Bar! From the moment we walked in, the…read morecustomer service was top-notch. My daughter, a minor, was getting her first lobe piercings, and the staff made us both feel incredibly comfortable. They gave us all the info we needed on what earrings to get, cleaning instructions, etc. I appreciated the thoroughness of the paperwork and the requirement for both her government-issued ID and my driver's license. Clinton, our piercing specialist, was exceptional. He took the time to ask my daughter if she had any questions and answered them with confidence and clarity, immediately putting her at ease. His professionalism and gentle approach were exactly what we needed. He carefully marked her ears and proceeded with the needling. My daughter felt a little lightheaded afterward, and Clinton was incredibly patient and supportive in helping her manage that. Beyond the excellent service, the studio's cleanliness and attention to sterilization were truly impressive. It's clear they take hygiene very seriously, which was very reassuring. I cannot recommend The Body Bar highly enough. They provided a wonderful, safe, and positive piercing experience for my daughter. If you're looking for a professional and caring piercing studio, this is the place to go! It's located inside the mall. Park by JC Penney and enter through the main mall doors to the left and it's just a short walk from that entrance.

Gone are the days of getting your ears pierced at a kiosk in the mall…read more If you are looking for a place to get a piercing, go to The Collective. After deciding what type of pricing I wanted, I was able to make an appointment online and pay a nominal fee for a second piercing in my ears. At the front desk, Kelso (sp?) answered the questions I had and showed me the array of piercings available. After I selected my piericing, I had a short wait. The process was quick and I received reminders regarding how to care for my newly priced ears. The Collective has high ratings for a reason. Professionalism Relaxing atmosphere Good prices If I decide to get more piercings or a tattoo, I will go back. No hesitation.

Rayne pierced my septum last week. She was friendly, clear about what was happening, and honestly…read moreit was relatively painless (nostrils definitely hurt me more). Rayne gave super clear aftercare directions and was just overall amazing. She also did my daughter's second lobe piercing the same day. Again. Super clear, incredibly friendly, piercings are healing well. Almost no wait time-- but I think it's because we went on a Wednesday afternoon and the shop was slow. I booked a tattoo with Monty for Saturday. I already had the design of what I wanted and gave it to them. When I got to Anarvin a few minutes early on Saturday he was pretty much ready to go! Tattoo is done- Monty was great. Aftercare instructions were clear. I really like this shop. I'll be back for more. It's clean, fun, well lit, and the folks are nice. Thanks y'all

I was in town for a conference and did some digging and research before deciding on King, an artist…read moreat this shop. Their work is displayed on social media and I reached out via text to schedule an appointment. King has an assistant who handles his booking, but it was pretty straightforward. $100 deposit that goes towards your total, $150 per hour, 2-hour minimum. It's been a while since I've had an ink session but was pretty sure I would only need 2 hours for what I was getting. Once deposit was paid, I received a booking text that confirmed my time. The artist had something come up during my originally scheduled time, but gladly checked the schedule to get me in while I was still in town. There are two sections upstairs, and myself and two others were getting tattooed in one area at the same time- but it wasn't crowded and we weren't on top of each other. They guys had a good vibe and energy between them and the air was light and filled with stories and laughter. I would think this would relax a nervous person, to see the artists comfortable in their spaces and happy to work. I had a small touch up on one tat and two new ones, which spanned the full 2 hours. He initially sketched out the tattoo based on my photos, but once I saw them in print and didn't like the font, he let me go through the database to find one that I did like. The tattoo behind my ear went quick and was quite painless. The one on my forearm went well too. King has a good hand and great line work. I generally go to the same artist when I like them, and if I ever get another tattoo while in Norfolk, I would book with King again.
