They spent over 30 minutes just measuring the distance of the piercings to make sure it was perfect. To note, I had four other lobe piercings (2 on each ear) from a different tattoo/piercing store but they didn't measure at all while they were making the piercings, so it was great to finally experience that level of professionalism. They made me feel very comfortable and assured the entire time and made sure my piercings were all cleaned up before I left. In light of COVID, it was clear they are taking safety measures seriously, so that was great to see!

DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE FOR YOUR TATTOO. Did not want to do this but it's important that the next…read moreperson who is in town looking for a shop is warned. I was in town to visit and searched up local tattoo shops so I decided on this place. I was able to get a same day appointment and asked for a simple cross design on my finger. Tyler was my tattoo artist. I left the shop paying the $100 minimum for a simple tattoo- fair. However, when I left the tattoo was uneven, and when I texted them that night to fix it I did not get a response. I decided to show up the next morning where they fixed my tattoo (kind of) and went on my way. During the healing process I noticed a spot that was artificially tattooed- I thought it didn't look like it was penetrated into my skin enough as the rest of the tattoo. When I went in for them to fix it initially I already was made to feel like a bother so I figured, maybe it will heal right- they are the ones experienced in this right? I was in town visiting again this weekend so I had asked them for another retouch. I live 2 hours away and this is a 10 second fix. They did not answer my message and then I called them the next day where they finally answered. They could not accommodate to fix my tattoo until Monday. I shared that I leave town Sunday and would love if someone can just try and fix up my tattoo. It clearly is a botched tattoo and this is the second problem I've had with it. First the lines were uneven, and second there is a gap in the line (not to mention that it's crooked). They said they can get me in at 5pm Sunday as they had limited artists and shared how they warned me that a finger tattoo may often need touch ups. My tattoo isn't even a month old at this point and I was already in need of a touch up. I advised them that I actually already have a finger tattoo that is 6 years old at this point and has never needed a retouch. The pictures speak for themselves ‍ do not give this place business

I got a navel piercing at this studio about a month ago. A few days later, it started pinching and…read moregetting red and irritated. I went back in to see if swapping out for a longer bar would fix the issue. I especially wanted to check it because I was going to be traveling to another country soon. The piercer I met with assured me that it was fine. It was not fine. Later that week, the jewelry started embedding in my skin (yes, it's as gross and horrifying as it sounds). I had to last minute find another piercer while in another country to get it checked. The piercer I went to said I needed to switch out for a longer bar, which is exactly the problem I had gone back to the studio for (this meant I had to pay another couple hundred for new jewelry as well). When she took out the jewelry that I had gotten at Black Moon, she literally gasped and said that she had never seen a professional piercer use such a short bar while the piercing was healing. As soon as it was switched out, it started healing fine. When I got back, I reached out to Black Moon to see if they could do anything to compensate me for the extra cost I incurred from their ignoring the issue with the bar in the first place. They haven't bothered responding. I came to Black Moon because of the glowing reviews, but my experience really doesn't align with them. I guess most of the reviews are about the initial experience of getting pierced (which honestly for me was also uncomfortable and rushed and the male piercer I had kept calling me sweetheart), but the most important factor for a piercing studio to me is how they handle issues when they arise.The jewelry is also really expensive - which I would've considered worth it to have a knowledgeable and experienced piercer - but that was not the case.

I had four ear piercings before I came to Black Moon Piercing and now I have 11 and am thinking on what my 12th and 13th should be. The additional piercings were all done at Black Moon Piercing and my favorite piercer: Brie! Brie is so kind and patient. She has a great sense of style on jewelry and where a piecing should be placed. She's also very open to feedback. When I wanted something slightly to the left or right, she has no problem adjusting. I haven't gone to any other studio because of her. The ear photos after the appointment always come out great. She's been helping me create a celestial earscape and I can't wait to see how my ears will turn out this year! This location has a good selection of jewelry and is very clean. Plenty of parking. I'm a huge fan of this location and will be coming back in February.

Both will offer genuine suggestions as opposed to superficial advice. I recently worked with Denny on my 2nd tattoo. My pup crossed the rainbow bridge and I wanted his paw print tattooed. The only thing I had to work with was a foam imprint of his paw from the crematorium. Denny worked his magic to size and recreate my pup's paw print and designed it to look like an ink print. It was spot on! I am so happy with how it came out. I would highly recommend Heirloom Tattoo!

I originally called on a…read moreSunday to see if I could walk in, but just like the website says, they are busiest on weekends so appointments are recommended if you want to go in on a Saturday or Sunday. I made an appointment for Wednesday instead since that was the next time I was free. The guy who greeted me was very friendly. I let him know that I was interested in two helix piercings and he showed me the studs/rings that people typically get. I knew that I wanted rings (though beware: getting piercing with rings might make the healing process more annoying because the piercing can be irritated more easily) so I picked the surgical steel rings. (I don't remember if they were implant grade now though. I didn't react to the material anyway. For people looking to get pierced, you should double check that.) Chuck was both professional and very helpful. When he was marking the placement on my ears, he gave me a few choices and even suggested one combo over another. I was thankful for it because I have super tiny ears and I didn't want it to look too crowded. Nearly 5 months later, my piercings are perfectly fine. There was some irritation along the way (totally my fault, I'm fidgety...) and a little bump formed but I continued to do the suggested sea salt soaks and my piercings have healed beautifully. As for jewelry selections, I didn't take much time to browse, but it seemed like they had a good variety to choose from. Especially a great place for Rutgers students to get pierced since it's a brief walk from CAC to Easton Ave. I have a friend who's gone here twice -- once for a nose piercing and another for her own helix. Definitely recommend this place!
