Everyone was nice and friendly. The place was clean and I felt comfortable there. Our gentleman had good hand hygiene and used new products for the piercing. Will be coming back for future piercings!
I brought my kids back for the second holes in their lobes. They had the first holes done at Uptown years ago and it was such a great experience we came back. Our piercer did an amazing job explaining what was happening and being quick and efficient so that the anxiety of the piercing wasn’t drawn out. The woman at the front desk was cordial and efficient, and patient while the kids picked their jewelry. Our appointment times were 1:00 and 1:30, for a 40 minute total (younger kid required a 30 min time slot, older only 10 mins). We walked out at 1:29, so yay!What I didn’t expect, and wasn’t prepared for, was the cost of said earlobe piercings. First, I had to pay to reserve an appointment. No biggie, I suppose. But then the two lobe piercings (incl. standard jewelry, no fancy stuff) was over $315!!! And then tip on top of that….If you’re charging that much of a premium for your work, you should at least credit the appointment deposit and have a price list available online.
I had a great experience but the thing that takes me down to three is truly the price point. I got surgically steel rings and my earlobes pierced an it ran me a little over $100 bucks. They say its because of the jewelry cost which I was fine paying since I went an am still healing from the piercing but in hindsight I regret spending so much when other I may have found the same quality for less.
HTC did an awesome job! First time getting piercings and the whole process was simple and seamless. I can see why so many people recommend getting piercings done here. The receptionist was so kind and helpful when it came to explaining how everything worked and Ricky was super personable and professional when it came down to the piercings themselves. Great service and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get something pierced! -Lin
HTC is my go to piercing spot in Phoenix. Been going to them for years. Yes, their prices are going to be higher than other shops but thats because they are of the highest quality. Their piercers are top notch and their jewelry is gorgeous. 10/10 recommend. (Got my septum done today)
Tori and Ricky were both so professional. Tori was very welcoming and helped me feel comfortable upon arriving. I had an appointment with Ricky to get my septum repierced, and Ricky told me the hole might not have closed (even after 6 years). The experience was painless and because Ricky is a nice and honest person, I saved $30 during my appointment. Highly recommend.
I got my tongue pierced here the piercer was nice and made sure I was comfortable I would recommend this place for sure
This isnt our normal HTC, Phoenix was booked and we wanted piercings today. So we made our appointments online paid the $3 covid fee which was fine.Downfall the lady upfront seemed a little rude. Even my friend made a comment about it. And lol I know its not why you go in there. But their lollipop bowl legit had bugs in it.......not one multiple.The guy that did the piercing was super funny. Friend was having an emotional day and I can say he for sure upped her mood.Location was clean, and bathroom was decent.
I needed my nose piercing put back in. Everyone was friendly, professional and made me feel welcomed and in good hands. They are being extremely careful and taking good measures with Covid precautions. I thank you all for helping me get a very special piercing back in and recommended you to all who need such assistance.
Honestly the worst experience I’ve ever had at a piercing shop. I had lost my jewelry in the shower and simply needed to buy something to replace it (no piercing necessary), I like to buy quality jewelry so that’s why I’m not going to Claire’s or something stupid. I was talked down to and sat in a chair for over an hour. I just wanted to buy something, easy. People came in after me without an appointment and they got priority. It should have been a 2 minute transaction. I left and I’ll never be coming back.
Clean, sanitary and professional! I got a cartilage piercing done by Ricky. Wow, fast and pain free. I had always gone to a mall store for previous piercings and had a gun used. This was way more sanitary and didnt hurt or sting like it did from the mall. Ricky was phenomenal! Definitely will go back for more.
I’ve been here for two different piercings now and absolutely love this place. The staff is amazing and very professional. The piercers are quick and super good at what they do. You can tell they know their stuff and will go out of their way to make you comfortable and explain every step of the piercing process. Will absolutely be back for all future piercings.
The best place to get piercings at! Customer service is awesome, quick service and great prices!
Just got my septum pierced today by Blake he was amazing quick and barley hurted at all! Thank you Blake! Totally recommend and will go there for future piercing
Absolutely incredible! They are all so nice and chill. We took our friend here for her first piercing and Tori sat with her the whole time since we couldn’t go inside with her. Jojo gave us updates through the window and helped hype everyone up. And Josh is such a great piercer! So good at making you feel at ease. Excellent customer service, so impressed. Great jewelry selection as well.
Came in to get a helix piercing. Had an awesome experience. I love my piercing. Thank you guys!
Great experience at HTC from start to finish. COVID 19 precautions followed, all wore masks. Blake did a great job explaining the process and aftercare for my daughters double helix. He was very professional and extremely courteous. Thank you! We will be back again.
My aunt and I went in for septum piercings today. I would definitely recommend this shop. We made appointments online. The shop was very clean, and they made sure they sanitized in between us. The staff was friendly. Blake was our piercer. He definitely has been doing this for years. I blinked, and it was it was over. Almost no pain. They even provided cleaning instructions for the piercings, a cleaning solution, and instructions on how to clean each different material of jewelry. We will definitely be back for future piercings.
Great place! Good prices and friendly staff!
My girlfriend just had her septum pierced and her nostril piercing changed out. Josh D. helped us out and made her feel extremely comfortable. He kept the mood light and was super professional the whole time still. Thank you for such an awesome experience!
I saw Josh for a septum and helix piercing and it was awesome!! The whole staff was super friendly and professional and Josh made the piercing process a breeze and kept me chuckling the whole time. He was so quick that my septum piercing barely hurt. Its perfectly straight and he chose the perfect size jewelry so it sits exactly how I wanted it. Highly recommend this place.
I was planning to get industrial or rook (depending on my ear structure) and get my nostril done.They were honest about my ear structure and state how my right ear that I wanted it in doesnt have the right form for the industrial. However they told me they could do a custom industrial (bent industrial) and they showed me a picture of one. But I didnt care for it.. so that was very helpful insight and didnt know a bent industrial was a thing (though each jewlary item would have to be custom) But they said I could get it on left ear if I wanted. So, future visit may be in the thought processes.Anyways....I my right ear was perfect for the rook, yay, processed with that and my right side nostril! Love it! I love the breathing techniques they do. I will not go anywhere else! My nose didnt exactly hurt persay but it did trigger my tear ducts to tear up a bit. I laughed, out of all the videos and such I watched and read, no one ever stated that. Piercer stated that its normal on anyone. Good to know!! Overall nostril didnt hurtafter the initial fresh piercing g sensation. But I never realized how much I flair my nostrils. LoL. Doesnt hurt but lets me know when I do do it.. Id rate this piercing same as a lobe maybe even less, its not too bad. The rook on other hand, being a thicker tissue hurt a lot more than getting my turagus done. I also wear glasses and the pressure behind my ear isnt exactly comfortable. But after few long soaks its feeling less throbbing.Edit: Ill have to come in and get my rook checked out. This throbbing is lasting longer than my past 6 ear piercings. Its swollen and annoying. Which Im sure us normal. But since its awkward and hard for me to look at and my fiancé doesnt understand what he looking at. Ill co.e in for second opinion from a pro!
It was great I will definitely come back to get my second piercing my mom didn’t like my piercing but I don’t care my dad loved it😂❤️
By far the best place to get a piecing in the valley. The friendly staff is skilled and very knowledgeable. Perfect technique and very helpful with care instructions. Your truly leave knowing that the you have received the best care available.
Josh and Erica are amazing! Thank you both for a great experience!
Ive been coming here for years, for all my piercings and jewelry needs. I have felt like the past few times Ive visited it felt like the crew wasnt sincere or friendly. I have felt rushed and uncomfortable when I want to browse new jewelry or new piercing options. They have a wonderful selection of jewelry. I will continue to come here for my piercings, but I think I will go somewhere else for jewelry.
I’m really happy with my piercing, but the employees and piercers are a bit short with you. I asked if they could take a look at my stuck nose piercing to give me an idea of the severity of the removal and they kind of just rolled their eyes and ignored my question. They never even looked. They also charged me for the Naked brand soap before I even said I wanted to buy it. Like I didn’t have a choice. It felt very rushed and not very personable. I’m not so sure that I will be coming back. I’m bummed because I love my piercing, but the staff isn’t very pleasant, unfortunately.
Very clean, classy and very understanding ... I was late to my appointment on top of rescheduling a hand full of times ... they were understanding and inviting .. the piercer J did a wonderful job with my daughters piercing and he was straight forward about time it would take to pierce me with a divested septum ... when he could’ve just did for the money leaving me now with a crooked septum pearcing since he had people in line I decided to come back . Thanks guys !!
Wonderful place. Always clean, super professional and amazing staff. Ive come here over the years and have always recommended it.
Super nice people. My daughter got her ears pierced. Huge selection of ear rings.
Great staff,clean environment. Will be recommending them to everyone!
They have nice pieces and are very accommodating!
I’ve come back to this place over and over- they’re wonderful. Their jewelry is beautiful and the staff is very nice. Thank you all so much, I’ll be back soon!
Tori was very rude on the phone cut me off didnt finish letting me ask my question said they were fully booked and not taking walk in but ended the call before I could ask how to schedule an appointment. They were my go to shop awhile ago havent been here in a few years and honestly I will find a new place to take my money not cool!
Ricky Minor is highly qualified and the whole staff is very nice and personable. Ill be going back for any other piercings.
HTC Tempe is clean, professional, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Ricky and his team took great care of me. I had my third hole lobe piercing done by Ricky. Ricky was very informative about the healing process and he was so patient with me while discussing the best placement of my piercing. The piercing process was quick and smooth! One thing I also really loved about this shop is that they have a huge selection of jewelry to choose from. I highly recommend choosing HTC Tempe as your go-to for your next piercing. Thank you again, Ricky and HTC Tempe team. Starting 2021 off right! ( :
Great shop! Extremely helpful staff.
I got this pretty thing here! I love it. It hurt bad but it is worth it. I mean what do you expect haha! There is a needle going through thick cartilage after all. The piercer was good and quick but was a little impatient with questions about the jewlery, but over all they were okay. We all have rough days and this one may have been for them. My experience was great, they have a nice selection for jewlery but I wish they had a pearl ball option. Even if its not genuine pearl because it can be super expensive. I also got my nose post replaced with a shorter post. It was quick and painless. I was able to just buy a new post and keep the original gem. I would recommend any of the HTC locations. They are clean and professional.
I highly recommend this shop, we took our friend there for her first piercings and they went absolutely above and beyond to make her comfortable since we could not go inside with her. I am so beyond impressed and happy with the level of service from the entire staff at this location. Jojo, Josh, Tori and Blake were so incredible! Thank you guys!
Great, clean place! Blake did my piercing and was very thorough and attentive to any questions. Highly recommend this place and Blake! Make sure to make an appt as they do not take walk-ins right now due to COVID.
My sister and neices went here for piercings, as did I. They were very professional and fast. Great service! I highly recommend.
Theyre a good company, left us waiting for about 40 minutes in between people. Worth the wait depending on what you get. Heads up on the wait.
Cant say anything bad, clean, sanitized, professional, very friendly all in all a great experience! Had my nose pierced, in and out in less than 20 minutes, I absolutely love it!
So nice and professional, I’m trans and they were able to pierce my nipple grafts!!
Josh was amazing! I came in to get to get pierced and he did such a good job. He was friendly, professional and made it a great experience! The rest of the staff was great too. Highly recommend!
Joshua did the piercing, both he and the rest of the staff were great. Due to COVID, by appt only. They were on time and efficient.
Finally, after 33 years of life, I decided to get my ears pierced. And I couldn’t have picked a better place to do get it done. Ricky was my piercer, and his patience and calm really surprised me. Immediately I was set at ease, we lined up the holes, I was comfortably laid on my back, and before I know it it was all over. Hardly felt a thing. Was given clear instructions for care, and that was that. Worth every penny to get pierced at the best studio ever.
Professional, kind, easy, and calming. Process took about 5 minutes total.
My daughter really wanted her ears pierced, but was hesitant about the whole process. They were so gentle and light-hearted. They didnt force anything and waited until she was ready. It turned out great and she loved her earrings.
I first brought my daughter in for a belly ring piercing, Blake, was very professional and empathetic when advising my daughter that she was not a good candidate for this piercing and doing so would leave bad scar tissue. I feel someone else would have just done it for the money, instead he was honest! We did return to get my kid a nose piercing as, Blake, had earn my trust and made this process easy for me as I was on the fence about piercings all together. I would definitely trust this establishment again and Thank you, Blake, my daughter loves her nose piercing!!
First time going there Dec 17th. Ricky did an AMAZING job on both mine and my sons piercings!! I have many but when I say he did amazing, I mean that I was ready to change my earrings but forgot I only got them done 2 weeks ago...THATS how great they’re healing!! I’ll waiting longer now that I remembered but I will ONLY go here from now on for all my piercings!!!! Thanks Ricky, you’ve made my son and me very happy!!!!!!!!The women up front were awesome and friendly too!!!!!!! I can’t wait to go back!
Went in last night to get my nipples pierced..was so nervous but josh was so professional and so nice to work with! He made me feel very welcome and very safe! If your thinking about getting a piercing done definitely go see him!!!!!!
Best piecing studio. I only trust this amazing crew!
Josh was amazing!!! I love my piercing!!!
Very nice Folks working there and very clean and attentive. Make an appointment and shop up on time super simple
Came to this shop based off of the reviews. They did not disappoint! Everyone is so friendly and fun, yet very professional. It’s also super clean and they respect your appointment.Ask for Bobby, he will not disappoint you!
Blake is amazing. Very nice, polite and makes you feel very comfortable. He explains the whole process.
I have been coming in here for many many years now. Even before Covid Everyone has Always given attention to the stories behind the piercing, needs, prices...will not go anywhere else but this Tempe studio of piercing art!
I appreciate the one on one service of this establishment, and the cleanliness rivals sterile surgical centers. I will not go anywhere else for piecing or body jewelry purchase.
Blake was amazing. Pierced my daughters ear so well she didnt even flinch. Front desk staff was warm and friendly. This was our 3rd time here and we will be back again. Thank you.
Fantastic work. Everyone loves my new earring!
PeirceVery pro and made me feel at ease with the professionalism because of all their experience they know what they are doing they do this with very little pain 😃
The staff was incredibly nice, and the studio was clean. They took me right at my appointment time. There was a nice selection of jewelry to choose from and pricing was reasonable.
Professional and super clean. A mix of very talented artists and piercers. Amazingly friendly and supportive staff. My go to studio for all things pierced!
I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a piercing of any kind. Me and my girlfriend both got our noses pierced here and just went back to downsize and both times had an awesome experience. They only do piercings at this shop so you know someone with experience will be helping you. Our piercer was Bobby Lane and hes a great guy. He was a professional through and through but also made the experience fun while making sure to give us all the info we needed on our piercings and for any questions we had. Everyone who helps run the counter has been friendly and conversational as well so we never felt awkward or out of place while waiting. They also have a good selection of jewelry, I bought a set of 1 wooden plugs here and theyre beautifully made, you get the quality that you pay for 100%. They even oiled them up for me after I purchased them. If you need a piercing done, go here. 👍
I went in to get 3 piercings & HTC did not disappoint! Ricky did an amazing job & made the experience seamless. I highly recommend HTC Body Piercing!
I went to aubreylynn and she was fantastic! Very informative and personable. The facility was pristine. I would def recommend!
Got my nosed pierced here and honestly had the best experience ever. I got pierced with a ring and I was nervous at first because I have a small nose and I didn’t want the hoop to be too large. I got pierced by Bobby and he did such an amazing job I love it! He picked a ring size perfect for my nose. Erika at the front desk was amazing as well :)
I went in to get my septum pierced and the guy was really nice and pierced it well and it didn’t hurt. But the jewelry fell out so I called and they said they would repierce it for free. The manager was rude when we came in and even though they said the jewelry that they used had been from a bad batch I still had to pay for it. They charged me more for the jewelry the second time compared the the first time. Just very unsatisfactory
Amazing as always. Employees were kind and atmosphere was calming and clean. Will always go here for every future piercing. Will trust no one else!
Very knowledgeable piercer. COVID prevention practices. Clean and friendly.
I was able to make a same day appointment for jewelry insertion for my lobes and forward helix. It was an easy process and I love how it looks.
Everyone is very nice and helpful. It is very clean. Great work
Always great service and friendly!
We are super happy with our choice to come down to this location for my daughters septum piercing. The lady that runs the front is super cool and helpful. Bobby really helped ease my daughters nerves about the getting pierced, and just made the overall experience downright awesome for her. He covered aftercare with her and expressed how he wants to hear back from her if she has any issues or questions. Thanks guys!! Youre awesome!
*****Highly recommend*****HTC is the ONLY place my family & I go, clients since 2009. Hands down, the best in the business for their focus on only body mod piercings. Highly recommend. Provided a pic of my recent Daith piercing. This one was done by the humble, wise, kind & highly skilled Kevin Jump, an artist extraordinaire who is also the HTC Tempe Manager. Youll not be disappointed. ALL of their artists are top notch, and the training, certifications & required CEUs they all keep current will surprise you. Its their jam. 🙌Pro-tips:*Be patient, especially on weekends & weekend evenings, when there can be higher demand & volume.*No appointment, clients walk in.*Be prepared with ID.*If under 18, a valid copy of minors Birth Certificate AND a parent/legal guardian with valid ID must be with the minor.Enjoy your time there! 💯
Short and sweet and to the point!
Went there to get my septum and ears pierced and I was very satisfied. At the moment only one person at a time can come in which is 100% understandable. They are very professional and friendly. Definitely reccomend!
Good service. Answered all my questions
I’m 14 i got a nose piercing ricky pierced fast and i barely felt a thing ( i have a very low pain tolerance)
Sucks only two people can go in at a time. This place is still the best. Since the 90s and still very professional. The staff is great and very friendly. The only place I would trust with my daughter.
Zoe is amazing and piercers are really nice and wonderful! Did a great job on my bridge ♡
Ive been in twice in the last couple months to get my septum (with Ricky) and industrial (with Blake) pierced. These were my first body piercings ever and I had an awesome experience!! Shop is super cool, the girl up front is super cool, piercers are super cool. I really dont think Ill ever go anywhere else! I feel secure and can tell that they know what theyre doing.
Ive been coming to HTC since a coworker (who is a body suspension artist) recommended them to me. Everyone here is super professional. Ive gotten both nose piercings here. Bobby was sure to make my new nose stud symmetrical to my ring. Ive also been stretching my ears and Nicole has always made each visit a breeze! They have a beautiful selection of jewelry. I cant wait to my ears large enough for some of their cool plugs and weights!
Professional. Cleanliness you typically expect from a physicians office.
I love that there is a place totally dedicated to piercing. Ive always found it a hassle to go to tat places that usually only have their piercers in one or two days a week and then you need to make an appointment, etc. At this place you show up and know you can get a professional piercing at a reasonable price. They have a good selection of jewelry too, not just the 1-3 items most places have. The people who work there are nice, professional, and as far as i can tell they do a good job (but Im not an expert in this stuff.) It is very easy to walk to from ASU.
Got a nose piercing. Location is clean. The guy who pierced my nose was professional and knowledgeable. I will definitely come back to get tattoo once I settle into the city more.I definitely recommend getting a piercing. They have feminine and beautiful jewelry to choose from. They sell only silver, gold and platinum jewelry for nose piercings.
Had a pitiful selection of reversible septum options and refused to use my jewelry I had purchased for the purpose of them not having something I liked.
The best piercing studio in the Valley! Everyone at this studio is so helpful and welcoming. Studio is clean and orderly.Bobby has been our piercer and we appreciate his patience and demeanor.
This place is so great! The staff was super helpful and nice. I was extremely nervous to get my piercing but Bobby was friendly and made me feel comfortable. I love the way it turned out and would highly recommend him.
They did an amazing job! I love it! They helped when I picked the wrong sized jewelry. They were very nice. They’re clean and sanitary. I overall am really happy. I would highly recommend to anyone, and can’t wait to go there for my next piercing!!!
Went here yesterday for a septum piercing! They were very quick and professional and made sure you were getting what you wanted. The piercing barely hurt at all and was quick. Definitely going back.
