Piercing near Long Island City

“I got a beautiful American traditional mermaid done by Chame! Both Roberto and Chame were wonderful artists and it was a great tattoo experience. I would recommend Xolotl Tattoo Gallery to anyone looking for a high quality tattoo in New York City.“

“This place is all about community and support. I absolutely love their events and vendor markets.
And of course you can get some 🔥tattoos.“

“Amazinggg got the left side of my nostril pierced and I love ittt ! Friendly chill environment. Soey did my piercing and was friendly & professional.“

“very friendly and comforting setting with the artist .. we sat together to make sure we were on the same briefly and everything came out exactly how i thought of it“

“I’ve been either recommending people to this shop or coming here myself since 2007, so the fact that I’m still supporting them all these years later says a lot. Since 2024, I’ve personally gotten three pieces done here, and I’ve had consistently positive experiences.
My most recent visit was especially great. Bana at the front desk was warm, helpful, and made the whole process feel easy from the moment I came in. My tattoo artist, Will, was amazing. He really listened to what I wanted, helped everything flow with the tattoos I already had, and paid attention to the little details that made the final piece feel cohesive instead of just looking like random additions.
I love how my newest work came together the linework is clean, the shading is beautiful, and the placement makes the whole space-themed section of my arm feel intentional and fun. Will was patient, professional, easy to talk to, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process.“

“I got my helix done here last summer. I remember him being professional and quick. I think it was 15-20 dollars, super worth it! I’ve gotten a bump a couple times but it is because of my hair getting stuck so don’t be afraid if you get one. Other than that it’s healed perfectly and im going back in a couple weeks for another piercing“

“KC was an absolute gem, she educated me and was very kind and gentle the entire time. She took the time to ensure I understood how to care for my piercings, even the ones that were not done by her. She is amazing!!!“

“Ernie is the best! I always come here for my piercings and I’m never disappointed! Super professional place, definitely recommend“

“Peter, was flexible in scheduling me as a walk in the day after reaching out to him to get my belly button re-pierced. When i got there he was friendly and very well informed. The space was clean and well organized. He examined my belly button’s anatomy and explained to me throughly about the type of piercing and the type of jewelry I should use for my re-piercing. The piercing process was seamless and I left the shop very pleased! A little pricey but totally worth it! I would definitely recommend him to anyone!“

“I cannot recommend Studio 28 enough. I had done multiple ear piercings while abroad and had been delaying getting them downsized/replaced for a couple of months (holidays, work, end of year, you name it). I had been looking at studios here in America. I asked coworkers about Studio 28 (easily accessible via public transportation for me) and they all had glowing recommendations. Life kept going on until mid January 2026 when I could no longer ignore an irritation flare up. Full of guilt for not coming in sooner and letting the irritation go on for so long, I was petrified but went to Studio 28 as a walk in.

Thankfully they were able to see me and listened to my story. Emily helped me pick out new piercings based on my style preferences. I appreciated they had a great selection based on budget. She was honest and assessed my ear and let me know if my choices made sense. Thank you, Emily, I get compliments for how beautiful my ears look. I never heard of Modern Mood and now the biggest fan.

I don't have enough words to say about George. He listened, sympathized, conferred with Emily and giving her a high five over the earrings selected. Not once did they chastise me or admonish me, but embraced me and disarmed my guilt. He took the time to remove and replace each of my piercings, changing the gauge and choosing the right post sizes. He explained everything he was doing and answered all my questions. I had no idea what to expect when I was walking in, but apparently with my luck, simply the best.

He gave me after instructions for after piercing care. His compassion and infectious smile had me leaving the studio with confidence that I did not ruin my piercing journey. I returned in March 2026 to get the still healing piercings downsized. He remembered all my piercing stories and the symbolism behind them. It made me feel valued and seen.

Thank you, Emily and George and Studio 28 for all your patience when I was a walk-in wreck. Healing takes time, and now I am scheduling a new piercing.

Not only does this Studio have an amazing selection, clean facilities, excellent piercing practices, but the piercers are top notch human beings.“

“I love Rebel Ink. This place is incredible and Victoria at the desk was super kind and patient with me. Chico the artist is incredible..... easy to work with, cool, extremely artistic individual and incredible, caring artist! Can't wait to back for my next tat with him. Place is beautiful, clean, and they really care! You don't walk in feeling uncomfortable to ask questions, no rushing, that means everything to me. I've been places that were uninterested, cold and the vibe was extremely off. This is my 2nd tattoo there. And even back in 2018 I believe it was, this spot had the same vibe.
I saw the other artists there doing some incredible work. You won't regret getting your work done there. Truly...“

“Patient staff, clean comfortable studio and rad artwork everywhere. I'm not quite sure what else you could want in a tattoo studio.

Update -
Got. Second tattoo from Jess that I absolutely love. Color is packed so well and she brought my slice idea to life.

10/10 experiences both times“

“Everyone working there was very nice and accommodating, i got my nose pierced by Harry and he was very kind and funny, he made sure i was comfortable with where the piercing was going to go and helped me calm my nerves down, He gave us a paper for aftercare and overall the whole experience was a 10/10 i would for sure go again“

“B took a design concept for a vine + Sanskrit addition to my owl tattoo and ran with it. Tons of attention to detail (even in making sure my body was comfortably positioned while setting up), friendly & professional, kindly tolerated every “can we move this up slightly, no wait it looked better where it was before…” bit of my obnoxious until the design was exactly what I wanted. And the price was super reasonable - surprisingly so for NYC. Will definitely be back!“

“Ivi pierced my conch, flat, and stacked lobes (a lot for one day but it was great!) It was a really comfortable experience with her as she took her time and explained everything she was doing. This was a total different experience from other piercers I’ve met before. She assured me to take my time and ask any questions along the way. She was so kind and welcoming and made me feel at ease. We talked about my piercing history and what kinda vibe I was going for and she was super helpful and had great input. 10/10 would recommend for piercings!“

“Had an awesome experience here! The tattoo turned out incredible, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. Highly recommend if you're looking for great work in NYC!“

“I got toothgems done by Elizabeth and they’re so cute! She was very thorough with the placement and made sure I approved before she cured them. The process was quick and painless. The gems are so fun for summer! Would highly recommend getting yours done with Elizabeth!“

“Everyone here is so welcoming, kind,
professional and informative! I felt good and secure about getting services done here, I would most definitely recommend this place to anybody. Shout out to Humo and Jeff!!!!!“

“Giana was great I went in with my two kids for piercings he explained the entire process thoroughly explaining everything from point a to point b.“

“Probably the most patient place you can go to. I got a full back tattoo here as my first tattoo and I was a shaky mess, lmfao. The guy who tattooed me, Kevin, was very kind to me despite my stupid decision. Made an absolutely gorgeous piece.“

“Thank you, Angelo, for tattooing my sister and me during Tuesday's 2 for $100 special! Our tattoos came out amazing, and we couldn't be happier with the results.
Angelo was incredibly friendly, professional, and easy to talk to, which made the whole experience even better. We'll definitely be coming back to him for our next tattoos.
I've been coming to Art N Soul for every tattoo I've gotten, and the customer service is always top-notch. You're always greeted as soon as you walk in, appointments are on time, and the entire team is welcoming and professional.
I highly recommend Art N Soul to anyone looking for quality work and a great experience. Be sure to check them out for your next tattoo!“

“I had such an amazing experience here for my very first tattoo. I walked in feeling really nervous, but from the moment I arrived, the entire atmosphere made me feel so comfortable and welcomed.

Emilio was incredible. He took his time to walk me through every step, answered all of my questions, and made sure I felt confident in my decision before we even started. His hands were so light that the process was honestly almost painless, which I never expected for my first tattoo.

I’m so grateful that they accepted me as a nervous first-time walk-in and turned what could have been an intimidating experience into something really special and meaningful.

The pricing was also very reasonable (minimum is $100), and truly worth it for the level of care, precision, and dedication Emilio put into his work.

Thank you so much to Emilio and the entire team for such a positive first experience. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Such a fun experience! Everyone was so nice and made me feel comfortable while I take getting tatted by Neez! I would recommend, pricing was also reasonable.“

“Couldn’t be happier with my experience with Morg. This was a full leg tattoo, and she absolutely killed it. I came in with ideas and inspiration, but she really brought her own vision and artistry into it too, which made the whole piece feel unique and personal.

The process felt super collaborative from start to finish. She listened, guided me when needed, and elevated the design in the best way possible. Beyond being insanely talented, she also made the entire experience comfortable and easy. Really grateful I trusted her with something this big.“

“We got at NO IDOLS for an appointment session with Gabe (Ig:@gabetattoos) and ended up spending the whole day there getting two tattoos. The vibe was super chill and welcoming, full of great talking and jokes.

The next day, Ermis (Ig: @ermisart) helped us with changing the second skins - really appreciated that.

The spot is on the best street in New York - Orchard ❤️ Thanks a lot, we’ll definitely be back!“

“Summer was so incredibly kind and considerate. I can confidently say I have a new favorite tattoo, and I am so grateful to have such a thoughtful artist's work on my skin. Definitely will be coming back next time I'm in NYC. ❤“

“Best first experience for a piercing, Cami pierced my eyebrow and was very patient with me the whole way through. When I contacted Cami through instragram she responded promptly to get me in her schedule to get the piercing taken care of when i got it infected. She kept checking in with me through the past 2 months, helping me get it all sorted and healed to get the piercing put back in. i will definitely be coming back to this location and to Cami for my next piercings in the future. Wonderful service, and the vibes overall in the place were great. and most importantly everything was done cleanly, everything was sanitary.“
