    My tragus piercing!
    Jo M.

    The first time I tried to go in, they were really busy and I had to make an appointment. That's the reason it's 4 stars, they can't always fit in a walk in client. However, they did a great job with my tragus and even let my friend make a video! They were responsive to my concerns and were very professional.... Once it was time for my appointment.

    Shout out to Jen and the staff at Brilliance, they made me a happy camper! Thanks to one of the staff members diligently checking their DMs, I was able to secure a last-minute, next-day appointment. I was most appreciative! Jen at Brilliance epitomizes piercer professionalism. My experience was unmatched. I have a piercing, or two, or three...and I have never experienced this level of cleanliness, piercing/healing expertise, and stellar customer service. Jen is so informative and polite, not like most piercers you encounter. The facility itself is bright and inviting. I noticed the air upon entering was well ventilated and not stuffy or stinky...because, well, that matters to me. The young lady at the front desk was so nice and most helpful with assisting me with jewelry options. The jewelry presentation and selection was impressive and on-par with most places in the DMV for that quality of jewelry. I'll be going back for my birthday! Kudos to Jen, and the Brilliance staff, for their excellent service.

    Back after 3 months. Doesn't hurt.

    I love coming here, I learned about Brilliance from instagram and I am so happy with them. They're super professional, kind, and made the whole process of getting my ears pierced easy. They have also taught me that they way I got my ears pierced in the past was NOT good at all (I blame college) and Tobias who has been taking care of my current conch is super knowledgeable, friendly and I seriously feel like I could never go anywhere else now. Thanks so much guys! I cant fill my ears with piercings just yet for work reasons but as soon as I can I will

    My second piercing! Done by Tobias.

    I love this place! I hadn't had a piercing since before college and decided that I wanted to be able to wear both sets of diamond studs my parents gifted me at two different birthdays. I booked an appointment and am very pleased with the results of my second piercing. I would advise those looking to book that you may need to book pretty far in advance, but be patient because it's worth it! I highly recommend this place too because the staff take health and safety very seriously. I brought the diamond studs I wanted to put in the second piercing, and they kindly explained that due to insurance I would need to use their jewelry. So come prepared to choose and buy jewelry for your piercing, and also be prepared to wear what you choose for 4-5 months to let it heal. The staff also gave me both verbal and written aftercare instructions, so I feel good about the process. The total came to $200+ for piercing both lobes and the earrings I chose. I consider it worth it for the quality of service and expertise of the artist. Shout out to Tobias for doing a great job. Thank you!

    Oh my gosh where do I even start with how amazing this place is. I got my 14 & 15th piercing with Brilliance and I can't believe I trusted other UNPROFESSIONAL people to pierce me previously. Let's dive in to the good good: - First, you have to book an appointment. It can take 8-9 weeks to get an opening so the wait does suck but I cannot blame them at all for maintaining a safe practice for all this time. I felt super super safe being the only appointment in my hour time. - My biggest issue coming in was I felt like my previous jewelry wasn't cohesive. My ear had jewelry that was all over the place that didn't fit in the right places. Jen was AMAZING because I let her do her creative thing so she chose all my jewelry and the order they would go in to look GREAT!! Never had such a high end experience for someone to cater to my ear so wonderfully. I felt like this experience alone was 10/10. - Another amazing thing was Tobias, my piercer. He noticed my previous piercer messed up on my 2nd lobe piercing and did it too low.. but made it into an opportunity to pierce on top and I loooove it!! He took a mistake and turned it into something beautiful. ALSO. I ALWAYS ALWAYS HAD INFECTED EARS after going to places like a mall stand *cough* but tell me why both my piercings he did NEVER GOT INFECTED!! It's been 3 months, healing has been AMAZING. Is this the difference when you go to a professional who sanitizes jewelry prior (took about 20 mins), knows his craft & can do the more difficult piercings?! YES. Please guys, don't shortcut body mods like this EVER. I can no longer go to any place that doesn't service to this standard again. - All real jewelry!!! No fake stuff here. Yes, it's expensive. I am allergic to "fake" jewelry so this was actually what I needed. The backings they have are way more secure so you don't have to worry about your earrings falling out. This is the first time I've experienced such high end earring backing. I love it here so much... currently on waitlist for my next appointment for my next piercings! And yes.. totally worth the Maryland to VA drive.

    Awesome staff (Elizabeth & Jen were phenomenal!) and extremely clean and sterile environment. I plan on getting other piercings there.

    Does the piercer use a piercing gun or needle?

    She uses a sterilized needle. It's better than the gun, 100%. Jen is super professional and her work space is clean. She has SO MUCH variety in jewelry. Definitely recommend going to her... i'll be returning :)

She is super personable to talk to - that my session went by pretty quickly - and so skilled at what she does. I sent over two inspo pictures and she got the design just right with the font, spacing and even delicateness of the letters! I absolutely love it. I normally get skin hives from environmental stressors but my tattoo was only slightly red immediately after and not hiving at all in the recovery. It is healing really well, too. The business itself is also very welcoming and bright. I cannot recommend this business and Maddy enough!

I came to Wicked Goddess after my 9 year old daughter told me she was ready to get her ears pierced. alright, easy enough. I knew I wasn't going to take her to Claire's & I was worried about piercing her ears while they would still be growing. in comes Rachel, who came highly recommend on the Google and reddit. I booked the appointment for the end of November for Rachel since I figured this would give my daughter enough time to back out if she changed her mind. she did not. so the day after Thanksgiving, we went over to Mosaic to get her ears pierced. they let her pick out her earrings first and were so great. they let her hold the earrings up to her ear to give her a visual and gave her plenty of time to pick. Rachel sanitized everything and took her into the piercing room once she was ready. Rachel marked her ears a little higher up so when she grows, it'll be more centered as she got older. then came the first piercing, which my sensitive soul daughter took very personally. she refused to get her second ear pierced claiming she couldn't go through with it. with Rachel, my SIL, my husband and I trying to provide positive encouragement to continue on. Rachel ended up giving her the option to go grab some lunch to relax after the first piercing and to come back after. after our ramen lunch, we went back to get her second piercing. obviously it wasn't an easy task getting her to go through with it. I ended up having her sit down on my lap with Katseye playing just so Rachel could finish it. so to the amazing Rachel (who just came back from maternity leave!!), thank you! my daughter loves her piercings now and can't/won't stop looking at them. Rachel honestly has the patience of a saint even after my kid screamed bloody murder in her piercing room. if you're looking for a fantastic piercer for your child, I'd go to Rachel. she's a mother herself and understands children. she's soft spoken and really strives to make sure your child is comfortable and ready. not related, but there's free parking in the garage across the street. don't be an idiot like me who paid for parking in front.
