My 14 year old daughter and I came in to get our second earlobe piercings, and we had a fantastic…read moreexperience with Caleb! This was our first time getting a piercing done professionally, rather than the usual childhood experience with piercing guns at mall stores, and Caleb was incredibly kind, patient, and professional throughout the whole process. Caleb took the time to explain everything clearly, including how the piercings would be done and what to expect. He was very precise with placement, even measuring carefully to make sure everything was symmetrical and that we were both happy with how it looked before starting. After the piercings, he went over the aftercare instructions in detail and made sure we understood how to care for them properly. I was honestly more nervous than my daughter, but Caleb's calm and friendly demeanor made the entire experience feel safe, comfortable, and positive. Highly recommend Caleb and this shop, especially for first-timers, teens, or anyone who might be a little anxious. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Finally a piercing shop that actually has earrings for your piercings, seems like a given, but it's…read morenot. I went to three different piercing shops on Long Island and not one of the shops had hoop earrings for my tragus or forward helix piercings. So I had to drive four and a half hour away to find a hoop. (Alright, I was in the area, but still.) So I'm strolling down Main Street in Oneonta and I see this place but they didn't open until noon so I walked into another piercing place down the street and they didn't have any hoops either. I really cant understand the concept of calling yourself a piercing shop if you don't have a variety of earrings to put in peoples' piercings. When this place opened at noon I walked in and voila, hoops for tragus piercings, amazing stuff, really. Side note: this place is airy bright and CLEAN. I was loving the exposed brick with the art on the walls, really nice place and made you feel like you were working in a sterile environment when necessary. The guy helping me was great and super knowledgable about all things piercing. He showed me a hoop and I didn't like the color of it, I wanted rose gold. He told me they could do some sort of magic back there to change the color of the hoop. Something with water light ions electrical activity, everything over my head basically. The hoop was $15 and since I hadn't had a piercing in my tragus for a few months, he wanted to do some kind of sterile insertion, which cost an additional $5. I have gone to piercing shops all over Western, NY have had my earrings sterilized and it didn't cost me anything but this place used a special machine to sterilize their equipment so paying the additional $5 just to be extra safe didn't bother me at all. The guy talked me through everything he was doing, which made me feel super confident in what he was talking about and also comfortable. I watched the sterilization process and also watched him change the color of the earring. It definitely didn't come out to be the rose gold color I wanted, it was very dark but it did have a gold tint so it was good enough for me. He put the earring in no problem and I was on my way. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking to buy body jewelry or have a piercing done. It is clear they know what they're doing and have a really clean environment, which is always a plus in my book.

My friend Nikki has been wanting her nose pierced for months now but couldn't find a legitimate place to get it done. Finally, I talked to my friend Tasha who recommended Inkorporated Tattoo Studio to me. She said she got her nose pierced there and it was a breeze. I called them up for my friend and they got us right in. Their piercer, Jeff, takes walk ins from 4-8pm everyday. When I called it was around 1pm and he wasn't in yet, but they called him up and he swung right over to do my friends piercing. No hassle. It was so easy. They are very accommodating. Jeff was awesome. My friend was a little nervous about the piercing but he walked her through step by step. He was so chill, friendly, and awesome! The vibes are so awesome at this place. They even have a dog Remy who is absolutely beauuutiiifullll! They also do some amazing tattoo work. Check out the pictures. I wouldn't go anywhere else in central new York for a piercing or tattoo. This place is legit. Check it out for yourself, you won't be disappointed!!!
