Piercing in New York

“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 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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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. ❤“

“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.“

“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.“

“;; soooo I thought my life was over and they were gonna amputate my ear(joke) but this place saved the day and my piercing!! The bar was too short and the back too small and it went completely through my hole(HAH). I’m glad they didn’t need to re-pierce or nothing, I was waiting for the “we have to pull it out the front and let it heal” but this lovely gentleman saved the day. Super friendly, gentle and patient. Since I’m adulting now I’ll be getting my piercings done by these lovely professionals. Totally going to be my go to spot. Lovely assortment of jewelry. Got my self a little snake. Totally coming back here. I would give ten stars for sure!!
EDIT: so I came back. Mainly because I left my AirPod and then I decided to get a tattoo. I got a tattoo from Joe and it’s amazing. He was very kind has a gentle hand, and his thin lines are beautiful. I’ll be back soon dw guys(:“

“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!“

“Took my daughter to Nine moons after having trouble with earlobe piercings she got at another place and they were very helpful and patient with her. Felt comfortable with them that I decided to get piercings myself, I had my conch and helix pierced by Roze. She’s great, always explains the process with patience .
Tips are optional and they let you know the price before going forward with the process.“

“Amazing staff and place! I got my first tattoo yesterday and was so nervous. As soon as I walked in the door, I was at ease. The staff was so patient, kind, ad professional during my experience. I will be back again.“

“Had a great experience today! Everything was done with attention to detail and care for what I asked for. Paila was amazing and worked well with us.“

“Olga and Chris were the best!!! They were so informative and accommodating to all my questions including reducing my anxiety to having my nose pierced for the very first time. They were so detailed from start to finish and made sure I understood the whole process. I dont regret getting my first piercing from them!! I was totally comfortable and I felt safe. Totally recommend:)) I now feel badass. Also shoutout to Chris for holding my hand before we started. bonus: I got chocolate in my aftercare bag! Lol tysm guys love u see u again soon <33“

“I tried this shop out and was very pleased! Sabrina did my tattoo and it came out amazing - though I don’t have a picture to share! She was absolutely wonderful and patient with me as I decided sizing and placement. She is just the sweetest! Everyone in the shop was kind and welcoming, so I can’t recommend this place enough. They are all so talented and excited to work with you. They are cash only, so make sure to either take cash out before or be prepared to use their ATM. Only thing is it takes a 3% surcharge :).“

“I was a walk-in. The vibe inside was calm, orderly, welcoming, and clean (very important!) Steven was warm, patient, gentle, and professional in every respect. It was like spending an hour with a friend while getting some ink done. He does amazing work and I will definitely return for more work down the road.“

“Every piercing I’ve got in NYC I’ve gotten here. Never had any bad experiences and the prices are unbeatable. Don’t get scammed by some shiny new yuppie piercing spot! Take a walk down in to the basement and you’ll come out better and shiny for it!“

“Came into this tattoo shop as a walk-in a few minutes after opening and was attended to right away. The shop itself was super clean and welcoming which immediately made me feel comfortable. I worked with Pablo and honestly could not be happier with the experience. I showed him my reference ideas and he somehow made the design even better than the original photo. I basically told him to do whatever he thought would look best because he’s the artist and I’m so glad I trusted him! The tattoo came out amazing, healing perfectly with no issues and I felt comfortable during the entire session. Pablo was professional, talented and really paid attention to detail. Definitely coming back for more tattoos in the future. Highly recommend!“

“Highly recommend Inkology and Caroline. I had an image in my mind’s eye of what I wanted for my sleeve and she brought that to life. She’s an incredible artist and person!“

“Arjun is literally the best!!! such a warm spirit and a light, gentle, talented hand that lended to my custom piece healing so quickly and beautifully. i’ve already gotten so many compliments which means a lot given the story behind the piece; he truly honored it. :’) high quality and reasonable pricing..and he works so efficiently! got my piece done in ~3 hours which is impressive for what it is! go book him!“

“Wanted to leave an awesome 5 star review for Emma and the rest of the team at the Shop Of Things event today. Super sweet, amazing customer service, and a super awesome tooth gem received. Looking forward to visiting the shop and coming in for a future tattoo and (maybe) a piercing as well! <3“

“I really recommend this place ?? I had this tattoo on August 2025 and I was so happy how it came out.“

“I got pierced by Jadynn and she was amazing! She was very knowledgeable about the different types of piercings and made me feel so comfortable!“

“I would highly recommend Magic Touch - I have been working with Surila for a few months now. Results have been great. She is so sweet and very flexible with scheduling. Would not hesitate to recommend her to others!“
