Recently had both of my daughters' ears pierced here and I was happy with the experience…read more It's been approximately 2 weeks since we went for one of my daughters, and her ears are healing up very nicely with following the aftercare provided by the employee. This was her first time having her ears pierced. She is 6 years old. They were quick about it and she did not even cry. She was also really happy that they gave her a sucker afterwards. My other daughter is 10 and we just got hers done today. She has had her ears pierced in the past, but they did not properly heal, we had to remove them, and they closed up. Seeing how well my 6 year olds piercings are healing, we decided to give hers another try. Again, no tears with the piercing. They are both very happy, and we will be back to shop for more earrings once they are fully healed.

This place was the go-to spot for all of my wife's piercing accessories UNTIL our last shopping…read moreexperience there. Well after being helped by the usual blonde haired young lady that usually helps us... And after assuring my wife that the septum ring or "segment" that the young lady called it being purchased was in fact the same sized that was already in my wife's nose. Well after finishing up a shoe purchase for the kids we took a trip to the car to match up the sizes of the newly purchased ring... To only find out that the ring or "segment" sold to us was oversized. After making a quick call from the malls parking lot to the Piercing Pagoda the girl that helped us certainty for the size wall suddenly gone, and fault and blame was immediately placed on us, and NOTHING COULD BE DONE.!? I understand that this is a cosmetic item but come on now! Seems like you can do something for a long time customer, but apparently I was wrong. An explanation of well "I showed it to you" is not acceptable as Good Customer Service or product knowledge. Guess it's back to specialty shops. At least they can guarantee their products are American made jewelry, and the workers will know proper sizing of the products. I guess giving us a break on the right size jewelry was too much, and may break the bank. But after doing a little research I can see why ! The freight on knock-off Chinese made, grade 2 or lower jewelry is outrageous!!!

I'd been to the space plenty of times as they share a space with my favorite tattoo shop. I'd heard…read moreexcellent reviews about the work of both piercers, Crimson and her apprentice Robb. Everything I'd heard was true. They are both phenomenal. They take their time explaining the jewelry options and what's available. They really pay attention to your body structure and make sure that the look that you're trying to achieve is indeed achievable for you. I had the pleasure of Robb choosing jewelry with me and explaining all of the steps that would go into my septum piercing. I had debated on the piercing for quite a while and it took a chance one day and they were available to do it. I am thankful that I went in and I'm forever grateful for Robb and his care.

Wow is all I can or could ever say. This place is unbelievable with, alone, the exceptional level…read moreof customer service from literally every employee that works there. Long story short about me: I love the idea of tattoos and always have, I want many, and I have a very low tolerance for pain. So it's like wanting something that will always hurt you but ends up being beautiful and good in the end. Back to No Name and, to a greater extent, Roxy the tattoo artist there. Flawless? Amazing? Intelligent? Understanding? Calming? Funny? Clever? Inspirational? A GREAT TATTOO ARTIST??? I mean yea true but all of these don't even get me started on how this awesome woman, who always has a fun color or style to her hair (yesterday it was a nice pink!), has made getting tattoos for me... something I could handle. Especially after having a HORRIBLE tattoo artist ruin my arm and first tattoo for me for almost 1.5 years. I went to Hawaii (thanks Dad!) in April 2019 and got a small sea turtle on my right wrist as my first tattoo. I added to it May 2019 at Marked Marvels (no..... comment........) and that was a complete disaster. I got 2 more turtles and they weren't anything like I wanted. I ended up never going back there and hated my arm for 1.5 years. August 2020. Missed one appointment and was late I'm sure to another. But Roxy got me in and added my 4th turtle and added waves and then redesigned the previous 3 turtles to match. It became a stunning and elegant tattoo and I could finally look at my arm again and not cringe or be sad!! This was good customer service! She listen to the issues I had with the previous tattoo guy in the past. She understood my low pain tolerance and did all she could to make it as easy as can be. She's funny and lighthearted and it feels like more then some hair stylist who wants to know drama. She wants to know how one of her clients are doing. She's also wildly and insanely interesting and I love that she and I both enjoy a good and long vacation/trip away to other places! She is endlessly dynamic. But so is the place she works for/at and everyone who works there too. I've been there maybe 5-6 times in total for my 2 tattoo sessions and then a few other visits for consults and for upcoming stuff. This place is great. I never used the bathroom there till yesterday (3/03/2021) and... um.... SPOTLESS???? It actually smelled good...? Like a bathroom at someone's private home!!! Also HILARIOUS???? The wall art and home decor is wild. The way they present themselves. The knowledge they all know. The kindness and calmness. The attention to detail and an idea that ANYONE and EVERYONE they work with deserves a good service. Roxy is flawless. No Name Tattoo is a cute and small shop in the middle of downtown Utica and it fits right in. I love each and every session with her. Even the worst session I could ever experience with her wouldn't even ever compare to the issues I had at MM. That's information for a more negative review on their artist and place though. But for Roxy & No Name, the bar is set so high you'd think it reached a new galaxy. Imagine you're a tattoo artist and you've only done 2 sessions on/for someone but they tell you they want you to do their tattoos for the rest of your career or their life, whatever comes first. That's me with Roxy and I'm not joking at all. I told her that. The look in her eyes made my heart soar cause I truly found someone whose given me some of THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER RECEIVED. Better then doctors or other tattoo shops or food places. Better then them all. I truly can't wait to visit in 3 weeks for my newest tattoo's follow up. And to be there in June for a friend tattoo with my online BFF from Minnesota. #3 with Roxy on a list that just keeps on growing cause I know I have a tattoo artist who cares. In this day and age, someone who truly cares but doesn't charge "an arm and a leg" for that care is unbelievable and undeniable!!! GO TO NO NAME TATTOO AND GO SEE ROXY!!!!!

I really hate leaving bad reviews, but after my experience I feel like I need to warn other people,…read moreespecially anyone coming here for a piercing. I got my conch pierced here and it ended up becoming embedded in my ear. When I came back because I was worried about it, they tried to push the jewelry back through my swollen ear to get it out. They were extremely aggressive with it, and it was honestly one of the most painful experiences I've had. My ear was bleeding and extremely swollen afterward, and they still weren't able to get it out. I ended up having to go to urgent care right after. Even the doctor who treated me commented on how much trauma had been done to my ear from them trying to force the piercing out. I was already scared about what was happening, and the way it was handled at the shop made the situation so much worse. What really threw me off was that afterward they called and offered me a free piercing. After everything that happened, getting another piercing there is the last thing I would want.I understand that complications can happen with any piercing, and I'm not leaving this review just because mine had a problem. I'm leaving it because of how the problem was handled once I came back for help. I wish they would have recognized when it was beyond what they could safely handle instead of continuing to force it and causing even more trauma to my ear. Unfortunately, I would not come back here for another piercing after this experience.

The girl that helped me was wonderfully knowledgeable in the products (I had gotten my nose pierced several months ago and wanted to switch out from the stud to a very fine gauge ring). We talked for quite awhile and she took the time to make sure I was going to be happy with my purchase. We talked and compared tattoos as well... so just my personal view, because I have lovely tattoos done by an impressive artist and the girl that helped me had some beautiful tats too, but we also both had awful ones done by hacks. If you've got tats, you know what I'm talking about, you form a bond talking about them with complete strangers. The prices are great and the jewelry is quality. I wouldn't hesitate to stop again to pick up something new.
