I've had a lobe piercing that closed up after a few weeks of not having an earring in and I've been…read morelooking for a solid place to have it re-pierced. Since it's a simple piercing, I didn't want to shell out big bucks to go to a specialized piercing parlor but I also didn't want an infection from somewhere inexperienced or uncertified. Thanks to Yelp I found the perfect middle ground at Just Pierce It. Located right at the Queens Boulevard entrance of Queens Center Mall, Just Pierce It is a kiosk that's bright, clean and easy to find. They also do some creative rearrangement of the display cases to have a small, semi-private piercing area. They take appointments on Yelp and when I did, I got a very pleasant worker who called me to confirm the time. It definitely didn't seem necessary to make an appointment but it does get busy. My piercing was done by a female piercer who took a great deal of time to examine my ear and explain the process. She was gentle, patient and knowledgable and even noticed that my original piercing had split some cartilage because it was far up my lobe, which is why the re-piercing was tougher than usual. After the piercing, she did a great job talking about aftercare and mentioned a follow up in 2 weeks if needed. Prices are very reasonable and I was in and out in less than 20 minutes. Another thing I really liked about Just Pierce It is how open they are to telling customers if a particular piercing they're asking for would require them to visit one of their other locations instead of the kiosk because of the extra set up and equipment needed for safety. I will definitely be recommending it to others.

My first time at Nine Moons Piercing and what an amazing experience with Elaine. I've been wanting…read moreto get a tragus piercing but after hearing some horror stories, I knew I had to do research before getting it done and Nine Moons Piercing kept coming up on my searches. After selecting the jewelry, I'm in the room with Elaine and everything was explained to me thoroughly. There was such a joyful warmth in how Elaine spoke that it completely relaxed me. A couple of deep breaths and I was expecting a pain level between 5-6 but believe it or not, it was like maybe a 1-2 and I think part of that is Elaine's experience with placement as well as her technique. I am so happy with the result and that I went through this with Elaine and Nine Moons Piercing.

EDIT: In their public response below, the owner claims they "recommended someone in your area to…read moreassist" and "tried to calm your nerves." This is completely false. As my email screenshots prove, they never gave me advice to calm my nerves, nor did they recommend a single local piercer. Their only solution was to tell me to book an appointment to come into their NYC studio, even though I live in San Francisco. What an incredibly disappointing response. Original review: I got second ear lobe piercings here on August 2026. On October 2026, two months after the piercing, I woke up with a very bloody ear and pus coming out of that piercing. That ear had swelled up and it was extremely painful to touch. Moreover, the stud was engulfed completely by my skin to where I could not see it anymore. Because it was so painful and bloody, I went to the ER. The ER physician determined that the jewelry had to be removed immediately due to the severity of the complication. When I reached out to Nine Moons to inform them of the medical emergency and complication, their response was dismissive. They downplayed an ER doctor's intervention as an 'easy thing to just put longer jewelry in' and stated they do not offer any resolution, simply telling me to reach out if I am ever in NYC again. This is so disappointing as I thought they held themselves to a higher standard. Given how much pain I was in, I don't think I would have been able to tolerate a longer post being jabbed back into the swollen piercing site. Dismissing medical emergencies and refusing accountability after a painful and traumatizing complication is unacceptable client care. Please beware.

He literally checked every single drawer to find it for me. After searching, he only found 1 and offered me a discount if I wanted to wait a few days for him to order it for me. Not only did he take his time to mark my daughter's ears, he double and tripled checked it before showing me. After my daughter was screaming, he told me to take my time to calm her and don't rush out. While I was calming her, we had a great conversation. I learned a lot about his background and love for piercing. He truly is the perfect person for this job. I would definitely recommend this spot.
