Many times I'll ask for his artistic impression because I think he is so talented that I'd rather him decide vs me! His overall process is fantastic, he's a hard worker, and most of all, he is REALLY good at what he does. No negatives here but if your looking for anything from an actual painting to him creating a mural on you, I wouldn't go anywhere else.

All sources say this spot should've been open, but once I walked there with a friend for a birthday tattoo I planned to gift her, there was not a SINGLE sign of this Place being open, nor any signs as to where we should go instead if there was a relocation. The phone number wasn't active either ‍ so either they were messed up this day (a Tuesday in the middle of the day); or something's going that I wasn't aware of, or that wasn't broadcasted. I'll give it two because I assume they do good enough work. But I never had the opportunity to find out

I knew that I'd found the right place as soon as I went to the website. Everything was explained in great detail. I followed up by emailing Brandon regarding pricing. He responded quickly and kept in touch. He even emailed me just to let me know that the shop was going to open later than usual so I wouldn't just arrive and have to wait. A little anxious, I brought along my friend for moral support. Brandon was really wonderful and put me at ease. He walked me through the entire process and answered all of my questions. I was really worried that it was going to hurt like hell but I'm happy to say that it was more uncomfortable than painful and it was over in no time. I am now pierced and I couldn't be happier with that decision and the decision to choose Encrypted and Brandon. I'd highly recommend this studio and its owner. Professional at every step, kind and knowledgeable. I'm already trying to decide what tattoo to get next so that I can go back to the shop. Thanks Brandon for making my piercing experience a great one! :)

My first time at Nine Moons Piercing and what an amazing experience with Elaine. I've been wanting…read moreto get a tragus piercing but after hearing some horror stories, I knew I had to do research before getting it done and Nine Moons Piercing kept coming up on my searches. After selecting the jewelry, I'm in the room with Elaine and everything was explained to me thoroughly. There was such a joyful warmth in how Elaine spoke that it completely relaxed me. A couple of deep breaths and I was expecting a pain level between 5-6 but believe it or not, it was like maybe a 1-2 and I think part of that is Elaine's experience with placement as well as her technique. I am so happy with the result and that I went through this with Elaine and Nine Moons Piercing.

EDIT: In their public response below, the owner claims they "recommended someone in your area to…read moreassist" and "tried to calm your nerves." This is completely false. As my email screenshots prove, they never gave me advice to calm my nerves, nor did they recommend a single local piercer. Their only solution was to tell me to book an appointment to come into their NYC studio, even though I live in San Francisco. What an incredibly disappointing response. Original review: I got second ear lobe piercings here on August 2026. On October 2026, two months after the piercing, I woke up with a very bloody ear and pus coming out of that piercing. That ear had swelled up and it was extremely painful to touch. Moreover, the stud was engulfed completely by my skin to where I could not see it anymore. Because it was so painful and bloody, I went to the ER. The ER physician determined that the jewelry had to be removed immediately due to the severity of the complication. When I reached out to Nine Moons to inform them of the medical emergency and complication, their response was dismissive. They downplayed an ER doctor's intervention as an 'easy thing to just put longer jewelry in' and stated they do not offer any resolution, simply telling me to reach out if I am ever in NYC again. This is so disappointing as I thought they held themselves to a higher standard. Given how much pain I was in, I don't think I would have been able to tolerate a longer post being jabbed back into the swollen piercing site. Dismissing medical emergencies and refusing accountability after a painful and traumatizing complication is unacceptable client care. Please beware.
