one time in 2017 i went here to get a piercing change and the guy made fun of me for not owning a teaspoon. i promise im not lying xx edit: yes i do own a teaspoon now thank you for asking read more

Okay this place is everything I hoped for. They are clean, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. The most beautiful part is that they are not pushy to buy something. If you don't want a piercing and the pierced doesn't feel it will look good he/she will actually try and talk you out of it for your own benefit. But, they walk you through it and make sure their work reflects them as a piercer. I absolutely loved this. I would have gotten every single piercing here if I lived in AZ my whole life. I got my septum and I am super happy!!! read more

I had vertical nipple piercings done by Andy and it was painfull, yes., but only while it was being done. Aftercare was easy and pain free. Andy made sure that I was comfortable and it felt safe in the room. Very professional and clean. Atmosphere, welcoming. I did not have an appointment and they were accommodating and very warm. read more

If you are looking to get a piercing, and want a clean place with great staff, pop on in here and get it done! They were really busy the weekend we went in due to a sale that they were having, but the staff maintained everything flawlessly and kept the line orderly and moving. We got there early and waited outside in the third spot in the line. Once they opened up the shop and got the line inside, we were in and out withing 25 minutes. I got to the front counter, filled out my paperwork, handed over my ID and was whisked back by Jacob. He went through every detail of how the piercing would go and what to expect. The spots were lined up and marked, and I was given a chance to check it out before everything was finalized. Once everything was done, I was given a chance to take a look and Jacob then carefully cleaned me up and bandaged it all up. After care instructions were carefully given and paperwork was also handed over to re-state everything in case you forget any details later. During check out we were asked how everything went and despite all the chaos from the line and the sale - we felt like we were given individualized attention and that our needs were cared for, which is all you could ask! Overall: A+ Clean, friendly staff, and great aftercare advice! read more

HORRIBLE PLACE! Please go to RAD A TAT TATTOO instead. Staff is extremely rude. I get there at 4:28 (two min before my appointment) and the door is locked. I walk around and call to see if they are Open and no answer on the phone, I walk back and finally someone answers the door and they tell me I'm too late. I called the next day in regards to getting my five dollar "covid fee" back since I was never able to get my piercing, and they tell me I cannot get it back. Please do not go here. Also, they charge an insane amount of money for one piercing ($80) I went to rad a tat (amazing customer service) and the same piercing cost $25 there and it looked amazing. Rad a Tat all the way!! ** EDIT FOR RESPONSE TO OWNER** If you clearly read my post, you obviously would have saw I did find what I wanted. Sure wouldn't of at your business! read more

Very professional and clean. Marilyn and Andy are super cool and even if you have a dumb question, they don't look at you with that duh look on their face. I have been here so many untold times but every time I go, I feel like I'm at home because everyone is so laid back but not lazy and stupid laid back. My partner had misjudged his piercing placement and when we went back we were prepared and knew that we were going to pay for another piercing (duh, they ask you if it looks good) but Andy ended up not charging us. You definitely don't want to go cheap with your body, so leave those other discount, 2 for 1 body piercing places and go to HTC to get it done right. read more

Very professional workers. The place is clean. I value their honesty. I Highly recommend them.

HTC is the greatest piercing shop in the valley - hands down. I wouldn't trust anyone else. The people are awesome & the piercers are top notch. I have double nostrils, and have been really picky about the alignment since day one. They always guarantee their work & have been more than accommodating for me. If you guys read this, you're the best! I love you all. Special thanks to Kevin & Jacob! read more

This shop is ran by ignorance, be prepared to wait 2 hours to be seen. It doesn't matter if you're there to get pierced or just to buy an o-ring, the wait is real. The wait is mainly caused by the male staff who must chat it up with every female who enters their facility. In addition to poor wait times and creepy vibes the pricing is a joke. This shop survives off the impulse of college student spending. Here's some advise do some research and find a real shop with better price marks, Tempe and Mesa have loads to choose from. This shop tends to price the jewelry as if it was an ancient relic which was recovered from king tuts tomb. Yet its the same bunk jewelry sold at any other piercing shop and online store. Do some research and keep moving, this is not the piercing shop you are looking for. They removed my last review, I guess they will have to remove another. read more

Went in a couple weeks back to have some of my piercings checked out. The woman at the desk was very dismissive and rude especially after the fact I had told her where I had gotten my piercings from. The man who took me back was very kind. But having a person with an attitude as the face of your store definitely needs to change. read more

Josh did an incredible job piercing my ears. It was my first time getting a piercing and was worried since I didn't know what to expect. He was very patient the whole time and I appreciated his kindness in making sure I absolutely liked the placement of piercing before jumping into the piercing stage. He made the process as comfortable as possible and cracked many jokes to ease my nerves. Of course, I was so nervous and was more focused on what his hands were doing to listen, but it helped he was entertaining and confident that the piercing would turn out fine. When it came time to pierce my ears, he did it so seamlessly that I could barely feel it. I'm so grateful he disproved all my initial worries going into the piercing. I recommend coming here 100%. read more

Was scared to get my nose pierced but the employees at the shop made sure I had an amazing experience!

More than satisfied with my septum piercing. Kevin helped me out and explained everything that he would do and made sure I was comfortable with it. He was such a sweetheart and I will definitely come back for another piercing. read more

This shop has been my go to for the last 10+ years and every time I come it exceeds expectations. From cleanliness, amazing customer service, and having top quality jewelry. Tonight I came in to be taken care of by Jojo and Aubrilynn. My experience was nothing short of spectacular. They were professional, patient, thorough, and helped me pick out some cute high nostril jewelry. On top of that the protocols they've been following for COVID related social distancing and sanitation were amazing. Never enough good things to say about HTC. read more

Not enough front desk help to get clients in and out in a timely manner. Needs to do a better job communicating with clients pricing, reservations, and recharging for jewelry installation that was done in house is crazy to me. Wouldn't go anywhere but definitely feels like part of the HTC "magic" was lost over the years read more

This place is only after money. I got a faux snug piercing on Mother's Day and have had several issues now including paying $90 a piece for each earring because it is "rose gold". Hah, only the top is rose gold and the post is surgical steel. I warned the piercer that I can swell a lot during the healing process and requested he put in as a long post as he could. I requested this because I have one experience (which was enough) where the post sinks into my skin due to swelling. He disregarded what I said and know about my body and put in a standard length post. Guess what, sank into my ear. I called and explained my situation, was told I would not be charged. In fact the exact words were, "we won't charge, we will take care of you". Cue me arriving at HTC, fresh off a 12 hour shift & being told I would have to not only pay for a new post but that I have not been taking care of it properly. I have 23 piercings, pretty sure I know how to care for them. I am also a medical professional so again, I know how to care of piercings. I asked them to just take it out then and was told that would be a charge!!! NEVER AGAIN WILL I STRAY FROM MY USUAL PIERCER. This whole experience was awful. read more

Today, I needed to get some jewelry swapped out. I was shocked when the piercer said aloud, "this hole is so big, the taper just falls right through." How rude! You can't go around saying things like that lol. In all seriousness, I've been coming here for years and refuse to go anywhere else. Every individual I've come across has been wonderful, a joy to work with and they all have a great sense of humor (hence above comment). I only wish they weren't so far away but the drive is well worth it. I'd highly recommend Ben for anything- he's the best. read more

Poor customer service. Poor poor poor. Extremely rude people with overly ridgid rules because of the pandemic. Rules are fine, BUT YOU SHOULD PUT THEM ON YOUR WEBSITE SO PEOPLE COME PREPARED!! Don't bother going with a friend because only one person is allowed in the shop. And they ARE NOT ACCOMMODATING at all. They make you pay a $5 covid processing fee as well. What the hell?? The place is hard to find as well due to poor signage. But my biggest problem is how rude and entitled they are. I will never be back to this place. Ever! My friend and I booked appts online to get piercings together. The time slot we wanted got booked up while we were online. So I came with her to her appt and read more

I love HTC! I had to go in to them because my belly piercing fell out and I was worried I'd have to repierce it. The girls working the front are sweet and knowledgable. Jacob was my piercer and he was absolutely fantastic; he was kind and kept me talking so I wouldn't be focused on the pain (I also got my tragus pierced). He managed to get a new piece of jewelry in my belly with almost no pain. Definitely would return to these guys and recommend them to everyone. read more

came in to re-pierce my nose after a few years. The female apprentice up front was so knowledgeable and helpful. Blake was awesome and was able to squeeze me in as a walk-in. Pretty painless experience. Tons of beautiful jewelry options. I highly recommend checking them out!! read more

Did our research and decided to get double cartilage pierced here. I'm very happy I did! Other than the wait, around 30 minutes for a walk in (which really wasn't bad) , everything else was great. The knowledge, honesty, and care the piercer took was phenomenal. I appreciate his candid conversation and information. Overall a great experience! read more

Waited for an hour to get my friend's ears pierced. No apologies for the wait. I was about to grab the needle myself and do it. I really don't think it's that hard to pierce someone's ears. Oh, also, there were probably 3 people ahead of us who got piercings too. Should not take an hour. I'm pissed. read more

Ive had several piercing done here by Aubrilynn. She is outstanding. She guides you through the process, here area is super clean and hygienic, and she is an expert. She marks everything first and makes sure you are comfortable with where it will go. Every piercing that I've had by her has been wonderful. I love them all! Outstanding talent! read more

Absolutely incredible! They are all so nice and chill. We took our friend here for her first piercing and Tori sat with her the whole time since we couldn't go inside with her. Jojo gave us updates through the window and helped hype everyone up. And Josh is such a great piercer! So good at making you feel at ease. Excellent customer service, so impressed. Great jewelry selection as well. read more

I've gone to this piercing shop since I was 18 and I'll never go anywhere else. All of my piercings heal well, despite being prone to keloids and rejection when I've gone to other places. Super high quality and professional, and the piercers keep you at ease. Also, the people at the front desk that help you check in always have good piercing recommendations, I normally go with the plain stainless steel option, but today I went and she picked out a super boujee piece for me, that I wouldn't have normally caught with my own eye. If your in Arizona; I wouldn't even look at other places, as this is the best. read more

The best experience I've ever had with a piercing, I was in and out in 10 minutes. I didn't catch the girl behind the desks name, but her Blake were super friendly. He did a great job on my nostril, Ive never had such a painless, quick piercing. The shop was super clean, I was the only one in there and didn't have to touch anything the whole time which was comforting for COVID life. I'll absolutely be back! read more

Audrey is the most gentle piercer I've ever had! The healing process has been tricky, but I've gone back multiple times now and they are SO helpful everytime. It's lookin' great now! read more

This is a clean and efficient place to pierce. I have had three piercings done at two different HTC locations (Tempe and Phoenix). It's a five star experience in terms of atmosphere and client service, however I have to leave a 4 star review because I really believe they're overpriced compared to similar stores. They have a decent jewelry selection and they'll also special order if you want. I guess I keep going there for the consistently easy, clean, fun experience--and I just accept upfront that it's going to cost way too much. read more

The guys that pierced me was so professional he really busted up all my bad advice from other piercing places finically after 2 times as they say 3rd times a Cham I hope because a few days later " now" my ears have healed and feel better than they did in years of past. Also the man who pierced me made it look even who's is surprising for someone like me with lopsided ears. Thanks so much! And if your debating YOUR DEBATE IS OVER YOU ARE GOING HERE. thank you! read more

I LOVE this studio! Bobby stretched my septum back out & did a philtrum piercing on my upper lip. Bobby was really sweet and made me feel super comfortable read more

It has been six months and my second lobe piercings still aren't healed. I have been in four times since for them to be checked because they weren't healing. I was told not to use saline to clean them and repeatedly told them at the checks that I was only using water and was told to keep that up. I now have keloids and a different shop was shocked I was told not to use saline (understandably). I paid to replace bars twice and have paid at least $400 at this point for earrings that are not healed. read more

Let me start off by saying I've been a very loyal customer to HTC for over 2 years - that being said, I've had multiple piercings done here, had jewelry switched out, and recommended multiple close friends to try HTC. As promised by HTC, when you get pierced there, they will switch out jewelry or shorten posts on jewelry/piercings you've had done there for free (assuming you pay for any new jewelry). Got my nose pierced here, when I went back after recommended heal time to get post shortened, it was free. Got my conch pierced here as well, when I went back, free to switch to a shorter post. But today, I called ahead of time, drove 40 min from East Mesa, walk in to let them know I need posts shortened on my tragus and let them know I also want to get my naval pierced. The girl at the front desk was extremely rude and said it would be $40 to switch out the posts..... are you kidding me? I explained I've been here before and had it done for free before, I've been a loyal customer for years, this is how It's always been for me, etc... She didn't care, just said "Well this is the way it's been since I started working here". I walked out and won't be returning or recommending anyone here in the future. You just lost a very loyal customer. If your policies change, hire someone nice enough to explain it instead of someone who doesn't know what they're doing. read more

This is where I come for all my piercings and jewelry.. service is always top notch, body candies are all A+ quality, and there is little to no wait time when you make an appointment online. Aubrilynn is hands down my favorite piercer ever.. she is super gentle, knowledgeable, has an eye for detail and knows the right placement for your jewelry to look aesthetically pleasing. She definitely went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of from beginning to end. read more

HTC has done my conch, tragus, and septum. They've also done my two friends helixes and noses.
