Piercing near Astoria

“I was looking for a place to get my septum pierced and I ended up calling this place to see if they accept walk ins. Javier, the owner of the place who happened to be the piecer welcomed me in and walked me through the process of the septum. I barely felt any pain and it was a quick and simple process.“

“I had my helix pierced by Zoey he was very respectful, and nice. I first came to his shop for an industrial but when he saw my ears he made sure to mention that my ears weren’t shaped for an industrial and gave me other piercing options. That’s very good to know when getting anything pierced, The place is very nice to look at there’s a lot of cool drawings inside the place and there was music playing I really like the vibe. The pain was not bad at all. The price was not bad it was 70$ to get a helix on both ears. The price he was going to charge me when I asked for industrial on my right was 50$ which was pretty cheap in my opinion. I’m thankful I came here I left happy and pierced!“

“Got my tongue pierced and my friend got her septum! Very professional and did it quickly. Healed great love it!! Def go here?????“

“Love the piercer here! Been coming for years now and always does a great job. 10/10 recommend.“

“We visited this shop for the first time on a whim, but with an idea in mind. We were warmly welcomed by Samuel, who gave us excellent advice. My girlfriend and I had Samuel tattoo a New York City skyline tattoo in fineline style. It looks great, and even after he finished his work, he was open to further questions and had tips to offer. Uplift Tattoo, especially Samuel, is highly recommended. The shop is stylish, clean, and all the staff made a friendly and professional impression. We'll definitely stop by again the next time we're in New York!“

“I went to HoG to get a tattoo from Will Hunter, so I can only speak to that experience. Will is amazing, both as an artist and as a kind and knowledgeable guide. Other than that, I can say the front desk staff was friendly and helpful, made the whole experience as easy as possible.“

“After 20 years it was time for a new tattoo. Nick is wonderful, funny and easy to talk to . My tattoo was better than expected and we were already discussing my next visit. The entire staff is warm and welcoming and the shop is very well organized“

“I got 14g double nostril piercings done by Joan and it was the BEST piercing experience ever!! I had so much fun!! the staff is so warm and friendly, makes the atmosphere very comfortable and welcoming! everyone is extremely educated as well and has honest answers to every question! absolutely coming back for my next piercings and projects!“

“took the family for an non-traditional sunday of fresh ink and can’t say enough good things about the team, the level of professionalism, and flawless art. thank you so much! we look forward to visiting again soon.“

“To my good friend Chaiko

I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for the incredible artistry and professionalism you put into my tattoo. From the first consultation to the final session, you made the experience feel not only comfortable but deeply meaningful.

What impressed me most was your ability to listen and translate my vision into something far greater than I had imagined. The level of detail, precision, and flow in the design speaks volumes about your dedication to the craft. It’s clear that every line, shade, and contour was done with both technical mastery and creative intention.

Beyond the art itself, I truly appreciated the atmosphere you created—calm, welcoming, and respectful. You walked me through each step, ensuring I felt confident and cared for throughout the process. That balance of skill and empathy is rare, and it’s what sets your work apart.

This tattoo is more than body art to me—it’s a lasting piece of personal expression that I’ll carry proudly for the rest of my life. I’m grateful not just for the outcome, but for the journey you guided me through.

To anyone considering a tattoo, I wholeheartedly recommend you to visitthis magical yet beautiful place. Chaiko, your work is living proof that tattoos are not only about ink on skin, but about storytelling, craftsmanship, and trust in the artist.

Thank you for giving me a piece of art that feels both timeless and personal.

With appreciation,
A.B“

“I got a tattoo on my neck in portuguese and they did an amazing job! The text is challenging and they took the time to make sure it looked as accurate as possible, especially with all the different accents and details. I also got a septum piercing there and it was great!“

“Such a delightful experience ! I was a walk in and got my piece done by Myles Karr ! He was so nice, efficient and his work is beautiful! Highly recommend taking the train over if you’re from NYC ! 10/10 will be coming back !“

“Angelo was absolutely amazing. He has done two of my tattoos now and each time I have been satisfied. Definitely my favorite artist and most trusted.“

“Our 4 year old begged for her ears pierced and I remember this shop from years ago when I had my nose pierced.
They asked us if it was her decision to get pierced and she even had to sign her own name on the form. And yes, we signed too. She picked out her earrings and Danny, our piercer, went over every detail, from cleaning, to upkeep, the process and the right earrings to choose.
Danny is a pro. Truly patient, extremely thorough, and no nonsense about safety and cleanliness.
He also switched out my nose rings for me.
Everyone there were super supportive of babygirl getting her ears pieced and cheering her on.
I loved the experience. If you have kids or you want some piercings yourself, you are in GREAT HANDS!“

“Just had an amazing tattoo experience at Sacred Tattoo with the artist Gabrielle.

I knew I wanted some kind of bird but I wasn’t quite sure about the design. Gabrielle (@stikbugg) was patient and helped me envision the details and color scheme that fit me perfectly. The tattoo was done with precision and was actually relaxing with the great music they had playing and her steady hand.

I was amazed that she could take a fragment of an idea and turn it into this beautiful piece of art that was customized just for me. I get so many compliments on the color and design.

Sacred Tattoo is an open and clean space, with a relaxed vibe. Can’t wait for my next tattoo with Gabrielle.“

“Just went here Carlos Ansias was my artist and he did an Excellent job !!! I got a sternum lotus tattoo and an Arabic tattoo & a touch up of an old tattoo and he did extremely well !!“

“Can't recommend Nine Moons enough. I've been getting piercings for years, but it's the first place I've gone that genuinely cares about the client, the art and ensuring your piercing heals successfully.

Starr and Naomi are the best. Starr is such a knowledgeable piercer and answers all your questions to put you at ease. Naomi has an amazing eye and is so detail-oriented and patient when styling your earscape. Everyone that works at Nine Moons is so kind and provides the best customer service.“

“My tattoo artist, Jinna, did an incredible job bringing my design to life. The whole experience was amazing from start to finish, and I’m definitely coming back for more in the future.“

“Got my first tattoo here. Jessie took care of me and did such an amazing job! A complete pro! I recommend this shop to everyone“

“I decided yesterday to get my first tattoo at 65 y.o. Rachel was able to give me an appointment earlier today. She was gentle and thorough and the tattoo was exactly what I requested (taken from a card given to me by my favorite actor/musician). She explained each step and provided detailed aftercare instructions for someone with an autoimmune system. The place was empty when l got there but I could see how it could get pretty busy. It was well lit and clean. If I get another one I will certainly go back to her.“

“I had such a great experience getting my septum piercing with Ericka Vinefog. She took the time to explain everything step by step, which really helped me feel calm and confident. She was extremely patient, kind, and professional, especially because my cousin and I were a bit indecisive, and she never made us feel rushed.

Ericka answered all of our questions, explained the aftercare clearly, and made sure we felt comfortable the entire time. You can truly tell she cares about her clients and wants them to have a positive experience. I’m very happy with my piercing and would absolutely recommend Ericka Vinefog to anyone thinking about getting a piercing!“

“First time here and first time with a tattoo as well. Employees are all wonderful and I love the place and vibe. Andrea did my tattoo and all honesty she was amazing. Me and her had such a great time while I was just getting my tattoo done. Literally made me forget I was getting it done lol. She was amazing in general, also really appreciate Taylor and everyone else there for making me feel comfortable and fine about getting it done. Thank you tons and I will definitely be coming back for more tattoes“

“Felt like getting my nose and ears pierced on a Sunday night at 9pm. I called this shop and the owner wasn't around but set up a time with me later that day and he drove over just for this one appointment. Great communication and friendly service. I'll definitely be coming back for any other work I need done.“

“I’ve since moved away from NYC but I got 12 piercing and a tattoo here and they’ve all turned out beautifully. Highly recommend.“

“xi just pierced my eyebrow to pair it with the one they did a couple of months ago and it’s perfect <3 they are genuinely the best piercer!!!“
