Haven Body Arts Piercing & Tattoo 108 Main Street Second Floor Studio, Northampton, MA 01060

"Awesome experience tonight having Penelope pierce my daughter’s ear lobes for the first time. Penelope has done several of my piercings and she’s got years of experience, so it was an easy, obvious choice for me. She’s fantastic and was great with my daughter. She explained everything she was doing, repeatedly checked in with her to make sure it was okay to proceed to the next step. She also regularly gave my kiddo the chance to ask questions as well. Not only that, she took the time to get to know my daughter a bit first so my daughter felt comfortable from the start. Didn’t rush the process, went slowly and carefully, and my daughter was very happy with the result. Highly recommend! Thank you, Penelope!!"

"My daughter in law recommended Penelope for my first helix piercings. Great woman and experience overall! I had a third lobe piercing that seemed closed and needed to be stretched as well. This gave Penelope a challenge but she stuck with it. There was good conversational distraction and unless I just have a high tolerance for pain, the procedures were all less painful than some dental appointments I've had! 24 hrs out and i feel no real discomfort. I bought a donut pillow and slept relatively fine. Penelope is an expert! Once i heal, I already have plans to go back!"

"Once I arrived I started to feel sick out of fear of the pain I knew I was going to endure. My friend and I were going in for nipple piercings. We met Penelope our piercer and suddenly I felt so comfortable, and so safe. She jokes a lot which brought my spirits high! (All that I needed) She was very informative, and fun at the same time. The exact energy you’d want around you when doing something like I did. She handled my friend and I with such amazing care! The room was clean and sanitized. The whole shop was clean and sanitized! The staff was incredibly helpful, and friendly. It was my first time there, but I can say I will never go any place different! This place and Penelope are gems 10/10"

"I have visited Haven numerous times over more than a decade. The first time, I just felt that they were trustworthy, but had only my gut on which to rely. There's a reason I kept going back! Penelope has pierced and re-pierced (as a result of bad choices in international piercers) me! She is the warmest, kindest, most skilled person and piercer! Honestly, I can't imagine it could hurt less. And speaking of not hurting...I can't say enough about what a pleasant, relaxing, JOYFUL experience it is to be in that studio, time and again. And this time I also had the utterly delightful Celeste at the front desk, who served only to be the roses on the icing on the cake of Haven and Penelope. I wish I wanted more piercings, just to visit Penelope, again. If you're looking for a piercing--and an MRI-safe one, at that--RUN to Haven!"
