i went there to get an industrial and my second lobe piercings done around a month ago.. my loves have healed perfectly fine but my industrial on the other hand not so much. i think the lady that was doing it was new or something but 1- they didn't check to see if i had the right anatomy until i asked them to check, no walk through of the process and they didn't tell me how to actually clean it so make sure you have done ur research. the prices are very good but for $15 more you could go to a piercer that you can trust. my industrial is super inflamed even though i have been cleaning it and not sleeping on it. also the ball fell out around 2 weeks after. i dont think they used titanium bc my bar is tarnishing a bit... if you go here please be cautious.

Well.. The prices are unbeatable. But definitely not recommended if you're new to piercings. I came in to get a snake eyes piercing two weeks ago and he insisted on not doing it until he got more practice, two weeks later I come in ready to get my piercing , no reassurance but just cold gestures and attitude the entire process. He told me to clean my mouth and everything seemed sterile, but you can sense the attitude and no walk-through of any procedure. Yet, gets mad when I'm not sure what to do with my mouth & gets angry with me. Everyone else in the parlor are friendly and reassuring , just the piercer himself should learn about manners. Also , this was my second piercing and definitely worth going because of the price but don't expect any nice experience

I have an update on the double tragus piercing I got for $30. He basically put in nose ring hooks in my ear so they were constantly catching on one another. I did some research and my ear was supposed to have to have to straight bars in it. I went to get them changed and the woman told me THEY WOULD NEVER HEAL and my ear would start to grow over the gem ends which was already happening. So that's something. She ended up changing the bottom to a longer bar with a ball end and had to leave the top out because my ear was too swollen to fit it in. One less piercing and a ball end because I had the wrong jewelry. Make sure you get the right jewelry put in if you want it

I could not have been more pleased with my piercings at Hectors. The business is clean, offers privacy, follows safety protocols a.nd is very keen on after care. Hector was always available to answer my questions about piercings. He gave guidance and honest feedback each time I called or texted. Bori and Freddy, the piercers, were courteous and professional and listened to my ideas. Bori did my ear piercings and was spot on with the placement and recommendations. Came for a Helix piercing but felt comfortable enough with Bori's recommendations to do the Tragus as well. Loved the piercings so much I came back the next day for a nose piercing which was done by Freddy. He recommended an even better placement for the piercing than I had in mind. Sure you can go to high end places downtown and spend way too much for piercings and get upsold on their jewelry. However, Hector's is the real deal and they get the job well done. Kumma

I got my bridge piercing, vertical labret, and tongue piercing here. My bridge piercing was swollen for quite a bit but it did get better. The tongue piercing is amazing as well.

Great place given the location. Hector is honest and fair with his piercings

Hector is the best. He's friendly and his prices are unbeatable. He gives the best advice on if you should get the piercing or not. He stopped me from getting a smiley until my previous piercing healed. His area is clean and sanitary. Always uses new tools. Given the location, this place is great. If you want a tattoo Luca is great with words and spider is great with graphics.

I been going to hectors for about 4 years now & every time i go it's a great experience. They are so nice and always fast with everything! Clean & organized as well. I love coming here & will continue to come here to get my piercings

I got my nose pierced here at around December 2018 and my nose piercing consistently gets infected I was later told that their jewelry is fake which it is why I kept getting keloid.

I came here and I was pleasantly surprised. The service was amazing very organized and very nice. I had my nose pierced and I was very nervous but he was really patient and pleasant. I recommend this place fully. Such a wonderful experience; I would definitely be back if I get another piercing. He was very clean and gave me instructions for following up on the piercing. read more

At Hectors Piercings I had a very nice experience. The place was clean and sanitized. There was no long wait and before I knew it the piercings were in. I asked questions about the jewelry and aftercare and they were very knowledgeable and advised me on what to do. Also I was advised if I needed assistance changing the jewelry to just stop by and they would assist me free of charge ! This family has been blessing the Bronx with piercings for over 20 years so you can't go wrong here. read more

i usually love this place, it's cheap and generally reliable but my most recent experience was bad. they said they didn't have proper jewelry which should've been my sign to leave. i got my lip pierced and they gave me the wrong jewelry, one with a ball on the inside rather than a flat back and it's curved rather than a stud. i asked about it too and she waved me off and i was like ok ur the professional. my gums have been bothering me a bit after getting it done so i decided to call a different shop and they confirmed my suspicions that they gave me improper jewelry. they also pierced my friends with butterfly backs instead flat backs which they don't normally do. if you don't have proper jewelry don't give ppl piercing like wtf. oh and they didn't id me which seems to be a common theme in reviews but every other time i've gone i've been asked to show id. read more

My experience at Hector's was incredibly disgusting. I was going in to get my belly ring changed and a rude, nasty woman told my friends to leave. Then, when i was speaking with her to change my ring, they told me I have to wait; instead of a month, I have to wait 9 months to a year. Never going back because they don't keep their word and don't have customer service. Would give this place 0 if I could. read more

Went to get my rook pierced here, extremely painful experience. Piercing got extremely swollen to the point I was unable to clean the pus that was coming out of the bottom hole. The bar was too short which just put more pressure on the swelling. I was unable to lie down or sleep due to the extreme shooting pain coming out from my ear. I went back to the shop only to be waved off as dramatic and was told that it wasn't an infection. They traded it for a longer bar which was also extremely painful as it was a fresh piercing that was already swollen. I ended up taking it out because the pain was too much to deal with even on the max amount of Advil. I plan to go to the urgent care to get antibiotics for a piercing that was obviously clearly infected, but was even further irritated when a longer bar was shoved into it at this shop. This was not the only time I got an infection after getting pierced from this place because I also got my navel piercing done here as well and it got infected as well. Do not recommend, just put down the money for the expensive shops in Soho. ***** Quick update ***** Piercing ended up being infected even though the piercer at this location told me it was nothing to worry about. Definitely will never be returning to this location. read more

Hey so today I can came in to get a nose piercing. So the piercers was extremely annoyed due to the past clients .. saying how one of them walked out without paying and he needed to take money out his pockets etc .. which I understand pretty messed then the clients he had right before me pissed him off due to moving around so much while getting a piercing. So when it had me it was over he was real pissed and he did my nose piercing so rough. This isn't the first time meeting this guy the first time I did he was so cool but this time he wasn't obviously he wasn't his day but honestly I don't care don't take it out on your clients! I didn't have anything to do with anything before me! then he told me to step to the side so his next clients can come in so while I am getting the money out my bag and also moving to the side he said " where where you going sweetheart " I said I'm moving to the side he's like no no you pay in here which is the piercing room obviously! Obviously I'm going to pay you please don't try me & make it seem like I'm leaving not going to pay playing me like I'm broke I'm not! If I came for a piercing I obviously have money! The first time I came here the owner I believe hector did my helix! Love him he so cool! But Freddy was pretty moody & kinda rude I don't like when people think ima steal like how can I steal a piercing ? At that with so much people in the location doesn't make sense. read more

Hector was a nice person, but he didn't pierce me well. I went to him for a nose piercing and he put in a corkscrew nose stud, which is fine and all. But he didn't sanitize me. He put aloe Vera on me and then pierced my nose. He then proceeded to tell me to just use soap and water on my piercing site. And I proceeded to have very very very bad infection on my nose. I also went to him for my second ear piercing and he did it with a gun even though I asked him to do it with a needle. Dumb on my part for still getting it done, but I won't ever be going back to him. read more

Talk about great customer service, from his wife that picks up the phone and talks to you with such a positive attitude love it. And hector well words can't express, he's patient, informative in whatever piercing you inquire about, and best yet he pierces like the pro he is. I was comfortable with getting my snake eyes piercing the instant I saw how professional he is. My pain level from one to ten was a 2. I will definitely be going back to him for more, and I don't plan on changing him at all. Best piercer in the BRONX. IN MY OPINION NYS. So go with confidence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. read more

I went in to get my girls pierce and developed an infection...my boob got so swollen and red so so painful....I honestly thought I would lose my boob so I rush to the ER and they had to put me on two different antibiotics and do me an ultrasound and told me I had to remove my piercings as soon as possible and told me to call the place I got them done at and ask them how to take care of them when I remove the piercings so I called and I asked for hector's cousin he was the one that did them for me so I try to explain what happened and what the doctors told me and this guy started going off and wouldn't let me explain... the doctor actually told me that he pierced it wrong he went to far down and actually hit my milk glands and that the discharge I had coming out was actually milk....

I made an appointment here to get my navel re-pierced and chose this place due to their high ratings and reviews on Google. I can say with confidence that the accolades are well deserved! I had the pleasure of working with George to do my piercing. Upon walking into my appointment I was greeted by another employee who checked my ID and walked me through the process while George was getting ready for me. He was so friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and welcoming! He warned ahead of time that navel is an anatomy- based piercing so there's a chance I won't be able to get it done after my consultation, in addition to aftercare and resources so that I'm well-armed with everything I need to know to take care of my new piercing. In the last I've had my navel done unprofessionally, and then again professionally about a few years ago so I was hesitant about the scarring. George did my consult and assured me that it was safe for me to get it done again. He walked me through the process and talked through exactly what he was doing for prepping and piercing so I didn't get anxiety in anticipation. My navel looks beautiful and it's healing so nicely!! I felt safe, assured that I was getting it done so professionally, and I love how all the info is displayed on the website. All piercers have IGs if you have follow up questions and they respond so fast! Highly recommend!!

She really calmed my nerves and helped me pick out and style a few pieces and also picked similar options with different price ranges. I really enjoyed my experience with Naomi because was so welcoming, professional, and really took the time to go over options. After picking the jewelry, Starr was ready for me. The room is very clean and private- and the bed you lay down on is large and comfy :). She mapped out a few locations for the forward helix and conch based on the placement and anatomy and she took pictures on her phone since I had a hard time seeing it in the mirror. If Naomi didn't calm me down already, Starr is really the most gentle and friendly piercer I've met. Incredibly patient. And I would like to believe that her swift skills in piercing made the experience pain-free. I also did my downsizing with Starr and it was a breeze. All in all, I wish I got all my piercings done at Nine Moon- this place is a gem. Their collection is exquisite and if I plan on getting more piercings, I will revisit this studio and recommend it to others. Thank you Starr and Naomi.

I came here for some help on an irritated piercing and was pretty nervous about not being able to do much about it after looking through the price ranges very briefly. You make a reservation and if you're tardy by some time they charge you their deposit fee $40+ dollars. Luckily, we came in early and were greeted very warmly by the staff here and after explaining the situation, were asked to wait. I loved the atmosphere of the shop: spotless, classy, sophisticated, and with a large selection of high-end jewelry for you to ooh, ahh, and oggle as you please. Shortly after, I then picked out some jewelry, and then was promptly taken to the back by a staff member. They tried finagling the hole for some time to save my 8 year old piercing, all while trying to ease my anxiety and talk me through the pain of the irritated piercing. After no avail, we decided to give up and let the piercing retire so the spot can heal again. With all that said and done, I was not charged because they understood the trauma of retiring and letting go of an irritated piercing. I was recommended to return 2 months after if I wanted to get it redone again. If I do decide to reinvigorate the spot I'll definitely be back. They are so bubbly and relatable here that I know I'll be well taken care of. Amazing place for new holes if you have a pretty penny and a hankering for change in your near future.

As a Yelp Elite who takes their body art very seriously, I can confidently say that Deja is in a…read moreleague of her own. I've trusted her with over FIVE of my piercings... nose and 4 placements on my ears as a curation from Deja herself. and at this point, I wouldn't even consider going to anyone else. Her precision is unmatched, her bedside manner is calming (which matters when you're nervous!), and her attention to hygiene and placement is exactly what you want when you're putting permanent trust in someone's hands. Every appointment feels intentional she takes the time to explain placement, anatomy, healing expectations, and aftercare so thoroughly that you leave feeling confident, not confused. And let's talk about the results... every single piercing she's done for me healed beautifully and looks perfectly balanced with my features. That kind of eye for detail is rare. Beyond her technical skill, her energy is what keeps clients loyal. She's warm, professional, and genuinely cares about how your piercing fits you, not just what's trendy. That level of personalization is why her work stands out and why I'll always go back. If you're even thinking about getting pierced, stop searching. Book with Deja. Period. You won't just get a piercing...you'll get an expert experience, flawless placement, and a piercer you'll want to keep for life. Curated ears are a vibe. Nobody else will have what you have in a world where everybody gets their piercings done.

Took my 4 month old here to get her ears pierced by Tiara the Saturday before Christmas…read more The location is small so be warned if you have a stroller and or and entourage. There were few seats in the waiting area and all were full. Its recommended to make an appointment especially on the weekend. Tiara was very professional, polite, and clean. She wore gloves and washed her hands every time she touched someone. My appt was at 345pm and I opted to get numbing cream for my little one. The numbing cream has to be applied 30 mins before the piercing so get here early if you want numbing. My little one doesnt like her personal space invaded so the experience was interesting- she hollered like crazy while Tiara drew dots on her ears. My husband held the baby still while Tiara used the piercing gun. The baby didnt even flinch! The price was a little high but so worth it! Highly recommended!

He explained the process throughout and gave clear aftercare instructions. Piercing is healed with no complications. Would return for future piercings.

Angel was gentle and patient while doing her tattoos...he was considerate and put so much love into his work...Zeus was ultra professional and engaging...Hector was a complete gentleman...funny and compassionate...and Freddy who did all her piercings was fast and precise! Great conversation...hospitable and engaging. We felt like family. I couldn't thank them enough for the experience. We LOVE these guys and will ONLY be getting bodywork done by them. #1 read more

I just got my nose pierced today by Freddy and I love it. It was very fast simple and painless, Freddy also gave me instructions on how to keep the nose piercing clean. I definitely recommend people to go there and get there piercings done because I was definitely nervous but that was all put aside once Freddy made me feel comfortable. I definitely will be returning and sending potential customers. read more

I recently got a microdermal and the nose piercing from Hector's piercings. I also like the fact that he was clean very professional and gives out free nose rings so many of his clients. I would highly recommend this place because Hector has been piercing generations of people on for them for many many years you are not from the Bronx if you've never got pierced by Fordham and I quote. read more
