Area 51 Piercings

"Got my right nostril pierced and 2 in my right ear lobe. Forgot to get the piercer's name but she was super professional and kept her space clean and sanitized, cleaned it up between piercings. She used needles instead of a gun too so that made the experience even easier. Did this on Saturday 2/24 around 3pm, it was a little busy and there was a bit of a queue but got in and out in about 20 minutes. Definitely recommend."

"My wife and I came in 2-19-2024 to get new piercings and tattoos for our birthdays. We had a fabulous experience with the entire staff that was their the shop and staff were very welcoming and open to chat with us. Baby did a wonderful job on our tattoos, and start did a wonderful job on our piercings. Would definitely recommend this shop to anyone and everyone!!!"

"The piercings are okay if you’re already aware of the necessary aftercare and you’re just looking for a cheap place. The tattoos are not the best and a few staff members seem to be a little overconfident regarding their work. They don’t seem to recognize the quality of their tattoos or see any room for improvement which is a red flag in my opinion. They don’t do a great job as far as communication with the clients or even the actual tattoo quality. The lines can be pretty crooked and they go over the same area a noticeably unnecessary amount of times. I’ve seen this cause skin damage which they don’t apologize for or seem to notice.The place is decently clean for being busy, but their customer service leaves something to be desired. They definitely don’t provide the highest quality services. I wanted to like them more than I do but they definitely don’t live up to any grand expectations."

"That attached picture? that’s my rejected belly button piercing thanks to this place I will never write a review for a place I don’t think deserves it. I’ve had plenty of experiences with this place, all of which were awful but as an uneducated person I kept going back until I found my current piercer. Let’s start with my ears, I got my helix and my flat pierced at the same time here. This was done in March, I experienced nothing but pain from these piercings. I was not informed of anything that had to do with my piercings. It felt like they had just bought a needle off Amazon and decided to have a frenzy with it. I have passed out before and I always inform piercers of this before they begin. They completely disregarded the information I told them and when I passed out they just stared at me. It was a male artist and another man who was walking by and they quite literally just laughed while I put my water behind my neck because they had me get up before I was ready. I got my navel pierced here in August and after 6 excruciating months of pain I finally cut my losses as they had pierced it with too little skin gathered. Not to mention it was crooked and they MISSED the belly button entirely. The piercing was forcing itself above the skin because they couldn’t use a clamp due to what I can only assume is lack of care. They pierced it standing up as well and didn’t let me check what it looked like before stabbing a needle into my stomach with no warning. As expected I passed out, needle still in my stomach as the piercer let me fall. No one would have believed me if my two friends weren’t there to help me into the chair. Since then I’ve found a much more experienced piercer who thankfully is able to save my belly button piercing after letting it heal but honestly this place was an awful experience. If you want crooked, rejected, infected, messed up piercings that you know nothing about, this is a great place for you! be a cheapskate get a bacterial infection and have jewelry pushed through your skin, it’s great."

"I went to this place to get a piercing and they turned me away at the front desk for a medical condition. I’ve gotten tattoos and piercings before without any problems and could have just lied about my status but I was honest so the piercer could take appropriate precautions (which they should be doing anyways) and never got to talk to the piercer, the front desk just turned me away for “the piercers safety.” She was polite enough, but the policy definitely doesn’t make sense, outside of the ignorance displayed in the conversation I had with the front desk, since my disease is non transmittable. Suffice to say I’ll be going somewhere else to get my piercing done. I thought about asking to speak to a piercer, but honestly if your front desk isn’t educated appropriately to book appointments then I don’t really trust you guys to go poking holes in me!"
