I had been tossing around the idea of getting my nose pierced (reg. Nostril piercing) ... I did a little googlin and came across some pretty good reviews about evolve and their piercer John. I called in to the shop, got some general pricing info... and made my way down their Saturday. I ended up recognizing John, once I got there (further conformation I was in good hands) ... they were every thorough and detailed in cleaning and healing expectations prior to the piercing. Very helpful. Piercing went nice and smooth, easiest one of my least painful piercings. read more

So happy I found this place. John & Cory went above and beyond in comparison to any other shops I've visited in the past. Thanks guys!

I was interested in a second lobe piercing and found Evolve on Yelp. Everyone at Evolve was friendly and VERY patient with me (I tend to be indecisive). I felt confident in the cleanliness of the shop and they had a nice selection of gold earrings for reasonable prices. I bought an 18k/black opal stud, it looks very cute/appropriate for work. Randall did my piercing and I am happy with the result. It was quick and easy, felt like a short pinch. If you are new to piercing or (like me) had your ears done as a baby and want a new look, I would recommend Evolve. read more

The Venezuelan guy from NY? I sadly forgot his name. He reopened my septum. He was great, and great conversation.

My girlfriend and I both got piercings here. I had the back of my neck done and she got her upper lip. The staff was friendly and professional. They had a big selection of natural gems. Two thumbs up! read more

I just got some new earrings for myself and Chris inserted them. He was friendly and professional. Really had a nice experience.

Just had my tragus pierced and the experience was amazing! The girl at the counter was extra extra detailed and helpful, unlike other places where you feel like you're bothering them with a question. Travis did my piercing and I was very happy on how clean and patient, super nice AND most of all professional he was. I would for sure come back for another one :D read more

Been waffling a couple years about getting a nose piercing. Finally made up my mind to do it and knew I had to get it done in Capitol Hill because...well you know! I picked Evolve based on Yelp reviews and you guys did not disappoint. Travis was easy going and made me feel comfortable. He explained every bit of the process and encouraged questions. And since I was the only one there I had no wait time. If I get any more piercings I'm going back. read more

Nice and clean. Big jewelry selection, but expensive. Got a double forward helix and I love it!

Came in for first facial piercing ever (nose) they were very clean but they my piercing ended up being so low that I'm gonna have to get a second one on the same nostril so it looks right. He also pierced me soooo slow I can take pain but compared to my other piercer who was fast and efficient my piercing at Evolve was quite slow and painful. On top of that they pierced me w a hoop which immediately I got a bump. I recently got another nose piercing at a different place and they put a stud in and I've had no troubles at all. They should of told me that hoops in fresh piercings can cause bumps Bc the bacteria and friction. read more

Everyone at this place was very knowledgeable and willing to explain anything I needed to know about specific jewelry, metal, and healing. Thanks! read more

My girlfriend and I came in for her to get a simple nose stud to replace her older one. John the owner was there and took time to review all of her options. They were exceptionally helpful and friendly, clearly very knowledgeable. He even changed the stud himself, sterile technique, and explained good care. We'll definitely be back. read more

Whenever I want a new piercing, or have a question about jewelry, or (more likely) need new hardware, this is where I go. I've known John a few years now, and he's never been anything BUT straight with me. And Jessica is, of course, the queen of customer service. Much love for Chris, who although I didn't know before Evolve opened this shop, I already get along with like gangbusters. If you're going to get holes put in your body, or resized, or just want to go stare at the covers from classic comics, this is where you should go. read more

I scoured the internet for raw faced (or rough faced) Amethyst plugs for a few months before having Evolve custom make me a pair. "Custom made" plugs seemed daunting and expensive at a glance, but it truly wasn't and I'm glad I finally had it done! I was offered a chance to pick the stone, but I preferred to leave it up to the cutter to choose the best rock for the job. The turn around was just a few days, and my gorgeous custom made 1" tear drop plugs were ready! They were made to my specifications for width and what style of wearing surface I'd like. The double flare Jason used makes them sturdy to wear, not loose and falling out like a lot of other heavy stone jewelry. The wearable surface is smooth as can be, unlike some other stone plugs I have that are cracked or chipped even when brand new. These are the crown jewel of my collection. I will be buried in them. Not only did I get to be so picky with my plugs, but even custom made the full retail price was LESS than any same sized pair I'd seen online in the past. I get compliments on them everywhere I go, they just have quality you can see. The entire staff here is genuine and knowledgeable about stones, body modification, and jewelry. You can tell when speaking to them that *this* is their industry, not their day job. I will definitely be back for more. read more

I got my septum Pierced today and It was by far one of the nicest piercing shops I've been too, lots of options and I was really clearly informed what to do and expect. very impressed with how they showed me how sterile the tools were. Great jewelry at a great price! read more

Love the place! Came here after work and they were super helpful. Extremely knowledgeable staff that answered all my questions which helped calm my nerves. I lost my tragus piercing a few years ago and they were able to find the same hole which was awesome! My ear doesn't feel sore and is already healed after a few days. I also purchased a replacement hoop for my cartilage piercing. I definitely will be back! read more

Efficient and professional. From the few times I've been there for (ears and nose) piercings, I've never experienced any irritation afterwards. They're also patient about letting you look through jewelry. read more

I think this dude messed up my nipple piercing. So I went in not too long ago and not only did I feel less than welcome by the staff (I'm used to a very nice staff at my usual place but I chose to go here for the first time for my nipples), my piercing was a lot more painful than expected and I bled profusely. I've never, ever bled after getting a piercing done. The next day I took a closer look at my piercings to find that one of my nipples was deeper than the other, and that one of my piercings was lopsided- one side of the barbell is higher on my nipple than the other. Beyond just the aesthetic value, a messed up nipple piercing can lead to severe infection that affects the entire breast and my entire left boob has been in pain since getting the piercing. He didn't even ask me to look at the marks he had made before doing the piercing. I'm not happy and I'm going to go in soon to get them looked at and possibly taken out. read more

Extremely knowledgeable staff with one of the most respected piercers in the industry. The prices are absolutely deplorable, however, and an overpriced piece of septum jewelry I bought from them was tarnished within a month. Can't make up for that, unfortunately. Word of advice: don't agree to anything without double-checking the price. Been there twice and both times was quoted a different price before being checked out. Cory was an absolutely awesome piercer, though, and separate from all of that nonsense. read more

I stopped in to get a few lobe piercings at the new location and the whole staff was so welcoming and informative. It was a great experience. Corey did my piercings and was super precise. They are perfectly spaced, straight, and look fly as hell. They also have the best pricing in Seattle by a landslide. Thanks so much, guys! read more

I got my nostril pierced here by John, and the whole experience was great. This was my first facial piercing besides my ears, and I felt totally comfortable. Both John and the other person working behind the counter (I unfortunately can't remember his name) were very professional, and the room where the piercing was actually done was super clean. Not to mention their selection of jewelry is extensive and unique. Would definitely recommend this place. *thumbs up* read more

John was amazing! I took my teenage daughter their for her second set of ear piercings and they did such a fantastic job, were so kind and knowledgeable and it was painless! Best experience ever - wish we had gone here for the first set instead of to one of those places in the mall. These guys take this so seriously, it is an art form for them and they are definitely experts. Seriously terrfic! read more

Easily run by the most knowledgeable piercer I've ever met. The prices are extremely reasonable and the service is friendly. Excellent jewelry selection (they supply shops all over he country) and a strong community atmosphere. I've seen these people decline to sell a piece of jewelry because the piercing had not been done to accommodate the style. I respect someone who values service over making a buck. I'll never get pierced anywhere else. read more

Walked in for a piercing yesterday, staff is very friendly and professional! Had such a great experience and I would recommend this spot to anyone. read more

Huge selection of jewelry and very accommodating when I wasn't sure what size ring I wanted. It was pretty quiet so their piercer was able to help me put in my CBR pretty much immediately. Very clean piercing area. Enjoyed it and I'll come back for my next jewelry or piercing need. read more

The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, competent, and the place was really clean! I got my nose done and it was quick and done, I highly recommend Evolve to anyone looking into piercing read more

John did an amazing job on my forward helix stud piercing. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful. I am definitely going to recommend this place to friends! read more

Was in the market for a new piercing so I looked up a few places and decided to come to Evolve based on a couple reviews. I was trying to figure out to spend the money on the new piercing or just a new piece of jewelry, but decided not to get the piercing based on my experience. This place has a fairly decent selection on jewelry, but mostly for gauges based on what I saw. The pricing was okay, but the thing that got me was the guy who worked there. Didn't catch the name but he seemed to be very experienced and knowledgeable about piercings (as he should be) but a little pretentious, a little arrogant in the way he presented his knowledge. As a customer, I don't appreciate that- I went in looking to get a new piercing but only bought the new piece of jewelry just because I didn't feel comfortable getting pierced by the person there. I'd rather go somewhere where the piercer is friendly and makes me feel like they are interested in helping me and what I want in my body. The other guy there was super friendly but was helping another customer. I don't think I'll go here again. read more
