Exterior
Amber T.

Third time here but this time to have my last dermal removed. My first visit was just over a year ago when I had two dermal piercings installed in my chest. The same guy has assisted me on each visit but as I'm writing this I realize I have no clue what his name is. Anywho- he was very thorough in explaining the process and aftercare. This is a cash only spot but they do have an ATM on site. Prices are reasonable. Service was fast. The parking situation is horrible. If you are lucky enough for there not to be anyone in the driveway already, you still have to back out of this horrible driveway onto this busy 5 lane road. If you're not lucky enough to get to park in the driveway maybe one of the nearby businesses will let you park there and walk down or there's a large parking lot across the street. Just be ready to run across the road. My bottom piercing started rejecting a couple of months ago the guy said I must have snagged it. I did not. So I had to go have it removed. Then the top one started rejecting but I had snagged it. The removal process was quick and easy and definitely less painful than installing. The dermals were cute while they lasted. I'm not really experienced in piercings but I think they were done correctly. But it sucks that they both rejected.

Came for a walk in and was able to be seen right away! Great prices and super helpful!

"Navel" piercing
Kyndall M.

Came here two weeks ago to get a navel piercing done and after it was over I realized he pierced the wrong spot! It looks more like a surface piercing on my stomach rather than a navel. If you're looking to get a navel please look somewhere else and do not make the same mistake I did. The piercer did not communicate at all about what he was doing and now I think my piercing is rejecting. Definitely never coming here again.

Very knowledgeable & reasonable priced place. I went to this business after another piercer (in Germany) did my piercing and my ring was sinking. He was able to get me in and out in 5 and provide me with information moving forward so I knew what was done wrong.

nostril piercing
Lauren B.

I wanted to get my nose pierced, but i was pretty nervous because i've only ever gotten a few ear piercings so I had no idea what to expect. When i got there (yes the outside is a bit deceiving for the high quality care you receive inside but honestly i was blinded by my nerves to even worry about the barred windows) the guy (i think he was the owner?) was very friendly and showed me the jewelry options for a nostril piercing. He said they were all surgical stainless steel. There were $20 options of small colorful jewel studs (red, green, etc.) or $30 options of different sized diamond studs. I chose the smallest $30 diamond stud option. After I signed the paperwork i went back to the room to get the piercing. Let me tell you I was VERY nervous (like sweating profusely) because I don't like needles like at all. As soon as we got back to the room I sat down and he prepped all the stuff. The room was very clean, the needle and stud were packaged, and he cleaned the whole side of my nose and inside with iodine. He drew three dots on my nose for placement options (I think he did it with a toothpick and pressed a little hard which will explain my confusion later lol) and told me to pick one or he could do a different spot if i didn't like any of those. I asked for his opinion and he told me spot number two was the most common. I showed him pictures I had taken with a fake hoop of where I wanted the exact location and he looked and said okay so that spot would be in between spot 1 and 2. I was like yea okay so can you do one in between 1 and 2. He said yea no problem so i sat back down. Mind you im thinking oh he's about to draw the new dot in between the others and i'll check it in the mirror. I felt him stick something on my nostril so i'm like okay it's the toothpick again but dang it's a little hard. However, to my surprise look in the mirror behind him and see the long needle hanging through my nostril and was in shock. I was shocked because the pain was not at all what i was expecting. I have an extremely low pain tolerance and I fr thought he was just putting the toothpick dot on my nose for placement, but nope it was a whole long needle just chilling there through my nose. After that he quickly attached the jewelry and cleaned my nose up because it was bleeding a little then gave me some aftercare instructions and I was on my way out. He gave me a napkin for my tears just in case (even though my eyes didn't even water at all) and a q-tip in case there was any more blood later. The placement was perfect, the guy was super calm and just talked throughout so I wasn't as nervous. It was honestly the perfect case scenario because i wasn't expecting the needle right when he did it so there was no built up anticipation it was just like oh wow okay the needle is there and it was over. No clamp needed he was very professional and precise. If I ever get another piercing I will 10000% come here. I was in and out in max 10 mins from walking in, picking jewelry, signing paperwork, getting the piercing, and talking about the aftercare. The price was great and the process was quick. The parking is a little wild since the driveway is short and steep but considering how quick he is I don't foresee it ever getting too backed up. Even if I had to park somewhere across the street and walk i would still say it's most definitely worth it.

Poor piercing

The piercing location for the industrial was incorrectly placed. The piercing itself was imbedding into the ear after a few weeks of healing. I believe I didn't have the correct ear shape for the piercing but the piercer did not mention it. I did receive a nose piercing but there are no issues there so less complex piercings are ok.

My orbital piercing!

See all

The person who removed my cartilage piercing said my hole was perfect, no bumps. And in the past I've had issues with bumps and infections not only from my own lack of care but probably from the shop I used to go to too. Even though I was too lazy to take care of my cartilage piercing it was healing correctly and I'm glad that I had a good experience here with Christina . If I ever decide to be responsible enough to actually take care of my piercings I'll come back here but for right now I don't have the time to take care of any new piercings. Love this place though

When I finally had the chance to say why we were there she said it wasn't possible for us to look around because they are an appointment only shop. I get businesses have policies and she may have been overwhelmed with the load of the day but her delivery was very rude and off putting. It's unfortunate because we would have booked an appointment if we saw what we were looking for but I wouldn't trust someone so rude to pierce my skin.

I…read moreoriginally came in a few years ago to have a VCH piercing redone after receiving one with incorrect placement elsewhere. The piercer was quick, gentle, and precise -- the placement was perfect, and I've had no issues since. During that first visit, I also fell in love with their jewelry selection. I had been on the hunt for unique, exotic nose rings, and Kolo definitely delivered. Yes, their pieces are a bit on the pricey side, but the quality and variety are absolutely worth it -- 10/10 every time. The receptionist is one of my favorite parts of the experience. She has amazing energy, always gives thoughtful suggestions, and shares her personal experiences in a way that makes you feel heard and cared for. The bald guy that works there is also really cool -- calm, professional, and always pleasant on the phone. What I love most about Kolo is that they truly know their craft. They take anatomy seriously and won't pierce you unless it's the right placement for your body. That type of honesty and expertise is rare. I recently made the mistake of stepping out for a $10 belly ring special somewhere else... and it went south fast. I came back to Kolo, and they saved the day. This place is forever my home for piercings and jewelry. Can't recommend them enough -- true professionals who care about what they do.

Poncey-Highland, Virginia Highland, Old Fourth Ward

My husband and I came here on our last day of our trip with the hopes they accept walk-ins... And…read morethey do! We wanted to get fine line Star Wars themed tattoos -- we provided the image and they advised to make the image a little bigger so the lines won't look shriveled over time. We agreed with their recommendation and got to the table with not much of wait. Everyone was very inviting, the place itself looked really cool and eclectic. I immediately thought of coming back for a flash deal if we were ever in town again! Very clean, very sterile, and very friendly -- so why one less star?? Unfortunately both our fine line tattoos have faded by the end of the week. The pressure didn't feel deep enough for either of us and the line work is VERY light. We already want them touched up but since we're not from the area, we'd have to find another artist. BUT that shouldn't take away fully from the good experience! Maybe if we weren't leaving to the airport after this, we would've been able to speak up and say to go a smidge thicker. Or perhaps we should've visited in the beginning of our trip so we can return for touch ups at the end of our trip after the first couple of days of healing. Not sure. But still good vibes here!
