Came in with my friend to get pierced, and while the actual piercing itself was done well, the overall experience just wasn't comfortable. The piercer clearly knows what he's doing he's skilled and professional when it comes to the technical side. When we asked questions (just trying to understand the process or make small talk), we were met with responses that made us feel kind of dumb for even asking. It felt like our presence was an inconvenience more than anything, and that definitely took away from the experience. We weren't expecting over-the-top friendliness, but a little patience and kindness goes a long way especially when someone's trusting you with a needle. read more

Got my septum stretched by Betty here June 19th. She was cool but her things were lowkey unorganized. Took her a bit to make sure she was finding the right jewelry and stretching needle just for her to still be wrong lmfaoo. I was at 12g and had told her I was at a 12g and wanted to stretch to 10g. Well guess what! She ended up stretching me to an 8g :| It was super painful and literally could have blown my nose out but just judging from other reviews, the owner will probably not care and Betty will get no more than a slap on the wrist. So discretion is advised if you're thinking about coming here. I've heard Why Not Ink is pretty good and I personally love Nathan's Tattoos and Piercings (Super organized and they explain everything to you!). read more

Needle Pushers is the only shop you should be going to.. it's been the same owner for over 20 years and he cares about his customers. I used to come here as a teen (with parent permission of course) and get my piercings done and today I had a mid life crisis and walked in to get my tongue pierced. The shop is clean and the staff is friendly. I got helped right away. Daniel the piercer did a fantastic job! He hooked me up with the coolest piercing and he knows his stuff it didn't hurt one bit. He did a great job of explaining after care and I couldn't be happier! Thanks for being the most consistent part of the San Fernando Valley! read more

Took my 11-year-old daughter to get her nose pierced at Needle Pushers today. Daniel was the piercer who helped us out. She was extremely nervous. I was so impressed by his professionalism and cleanliness. He made my daughter feel safe and comfortable. I am an extremely happy customer and my daughter is an extremely happy preteen thanks to Daniel. He is fast and efficient. I highly recommend Danielle. He delivers 5 star service. read more

Leslie was super professional and reassuring when piercing my friend and me! She explained to us all the steps she was doing and made sure we were okay through it all. We would totally come back to her and recommend her to anyone!!! read more

Place is pretty weird. Ive had a few pieces put on me here in the last 10 years but the last time (2023) the dude seemed super sick and said it was allergies. He was more sick than I realized bc I tested Positive for the big C (for the first time) the next week and the tattoo was the last time I was out of the house. if you're sick, don't tattoo. The tattoo healed rough too-- it's not my favorite by far. Then recently, i had questions about making an appointment and was told to text a number. I did. Then my messages were left on read, and haven't been replied to for over 2 weeks. godam. Not goin back. read more

This place is a shit show and the people here are one of the rudest i've come across. I came in with my sister to pierce her belly and they pierced 3 inches above the belly button. I called in to get my money back for the HORRIBLE piercing I got and I got hung up on and given attitude by whoever picked up the phone. When I was on the line with the guy asking for my refund he continuously said " ask daniel for your money " as if they don't ALL work together at the same place. Bad customer service and bad everything overall. Everyone here are rude and disrespectful. No one is friendly and they don't know how to pierce for the live of them. DO NOT COME HERE !!! HORRIBLE RUDE AND OVERALL -10/10 EXPERIENCE read more

Came today to get my nose pierced for the 5th time. I've had both sides done and somehow it always seems to come out, then close the next day. Called after I had brunch and the movies today and they were open. I got there about 3:45 and only had one person ahead of me. Filled out my paperwork and Angie took me back. She literally did it so quick, jewelry and all, I didn't believe she was done! It hardly hurt. She was very sweet, and did it exactly where I wanted it. I've come here a few times over the years and always been happy with their piercers. Angie was super awesome! Highly recommend if you need a piercing. Parking lot was full, so you can always park at Ralph's across the street. FYI 3.50 extra to use your debit card. read more

I noticed Daniel was the only person who worked on my tattoos. No one else asked what I wanted. In fact, they kept telling me Daniel was on his way. Though I did ask anyone can do it. It was a nice tattoo but I would have liked to see if there was any thing else that could be done. read more

Been coming here since 2016, I've gotten all my piercings done here. Leslie is the most amazing and attentive piercer. Every time I come in, she's always checking on previous piercings making sure they're still doing good and reminds me that she's always available if I need help. Needle Pushers is always a vibe, amazing work and great prices! read more

I have been this shop multiple times to have existing piercings removed for MRI scans and put back in afterwards. Daniel was very kind and efficient, and i'm very happy with my service. This shop is clean and has a chill atmosphere. Definitely my first choice for my next piercing in the valley. read more

I've gotten my belly button piercing done here and the staff is very friendly, the shop is very comfortable, and the pricing is very affordable! I was helped with Rolando today and my past piercing was migrating but he was quick to make an appointment for me to get it re-pierced behind the scar tissue I had from my first rejection! I recommend this place to all of my friends that are interested in getting piercings and/or tattoos, best place in the valley!! read more

Daniel did THAT!!!! Mind you this is my best friend but I always look out for service. This place can take walk ins but appointments are probably always better. My friend made an appointment for 4 o clock and was a tad bit late but Daniel was very understanding and started as soon as we got there. He took his time to make sure the design was perfect for the spot and really put his mind to it. Overall, great service and great art work! read more

Needle Pushers is my go to piercing shop. I've come here for years & they never disappoint. The piercers & tattoo artists are always very welcoming & friendly. They have separate rooms to take you in so it's private & you can bring along a friend with you as well. They always make sure you're comfortable & like the placement & if not they'll remark it. They are also extremely well priced! 10/10 recommend for your next piercing or tattoo! read more

A group of us came in to get tattoos in honor of my mother-in-law's 90th birthday. Cat took care of all of use and she was terrific - collaborative, patient, friendly. MIL went first and the rest followed. We're all thrilled with the result. Clean lines and beautiful shading. I will definitely use Cat for my next tattoo! read more

my ears had closed up and I wanted them pierced again. I am not a member of this generation. I'm a baby boomer. It was my first experience, having my ears pierced with a needle as opposed to the piercing gun. the piercer was very patient explained everything to me and I couldn't be happier with the results it didn't hurt as much as old read more

My 8-year old was lucky to get her ears pierced by Leslie here. Not only did she do an amazing job, but she was patient, knowledgeable and kind. She did everything to make her feel comfortable Glad we got it done at Needle Pushers. Thanks Leslie read more

I was looking for a place to get a piercing with my friend and we ran across Needle pushers. We had such an amazing experience. Everyone was so nice and attentive.

I went for a spontaneous piercing. I was between a nostril and a septum. Betty helped me pick out which one would look best on me. It was a super easy process and she eased the anxiety of the whole process. read more

All of the people who work at the shop are very welcoming and kind! I was pierced by Leslie on the 16th of March and today. On the 16th I had eyebrow piercings done by her. Today I had dermals done by her. I got one on each side of my cheeks on my face. Both times, she explained the piercing process for those piercings and the aftercare really thoroughly. She also has a very comfortable personality to be around while getting a piercing. She did my eyebrow piercings and dermal piercings and both times they came out perfectly symmetrical. She is very precise about placement and you can tell that she cares about her work. I love my new piercings! I was also pierced by Daniel on the 15th. He pierced my philtrum/medusa. He's very nice and is also a great piercer. He was also very thorough at explaining the piercing process and the aftercare. I love the placement of my new piercing! Angie is also really great at piercing. She's very sweet. She did a daith piercing and a rook piercing for me a few weeks ago. They look so cute! I have always had a good experience with Needle Pushers and I recommend this place to any of my friends who are looking to get any piercings. I have been coming here for 5 years and I have never had a bad experience. Honestly, Leslie, Daniel and Angie are all great piercers! You can't go wrong with any of them! You can tell that they all care about their work. They also let you know to reach out to them if you have any questions about your piercings. They all do a really good job at placement when piercing. They all do a wonderful job at piercing overall! read more

I felt extremely comfortable here and will definitely be coming again for future piercings. My piercing was perfect I love it

I came here to get my first tattoo (along with my sister, who has plenty).

Came in on a Wednesday around 1pm as a walk-in and was helped right away by the best piercer, Betty! I was in and out in 15 minutes. She did a conch and helix for me. I was anxious about getting the conch but she did a great job at making me feel comfortable and relaxed and answered any questions I had. She also took the time to give me different options on where I wanted the helix and also took into consideration the placement of the conch with the intention of changing to a hoop later on. The actual piercing was a breeze as Betty is very skilled and quick. I called a few places around the SFV and Needle Pushers by far had the best prices, especially for titanium metal. Will definitely be coming back for future piercings and highly recommend 10/10 read more

Needle Pushers - Her reaction seeing her piercing - Piercing Near Me - Van Nuys, California

This shop is so cool! It's such a fun place to be in which is kind of ironic because it's kind of the 'house of pain,' being that it's a tattoo and piercing shop. I loved the music playing; Deftones! Once you walk inside, you can see that every study has their own small private room for clients. I think it's cool that they have privacy rooms just in case you're getting a tattoo in a spot where you might have to reveal more skin in front of people than you'd like to. We were treated by Marv. He was so much fun! Super professional, funny, and extremely skilled. NO PAIN!!! Wow! It's really cool that he has his clients return in a month for check ups just to monitor healing; that's how you know he really cares. Another cool thing is you're able to text him to set up appointments:) Thanks, Marv! read more

They pierced my 3 month old baby ear quickly and efficient. Highly recommend Daniel. It was sanitary!

Needle Pushers has been my go-to place for piercings and tattoos for years. Rantz and the crew have always been reasonable in their pricing, professional in the service that they provide, and the shop atmosphere is extremely welcoming. Even though I no longer live in the area, I will continue to patronize Needle Pushers whenever I get those itches for body modifications. Needle Pushers is family. read more

I have been coming to needle pushers for piercings and tattoos for years. They have some of the most quality artists and piercers in the valley. They are all professional and personable. Going to the tattoo shop can be a little nerve wrecking for some people and the welcome you get at the door from Daniel the piercer is always nice. He will get you sorted with paperwork and answer all of your questions regarding piercings or alert your artist you have arrived. I have had work from Mitz and Anthony and love both of my tattoos and get a ton of compliments. Go in and check them out! I'm already thinking up my next project! read more

Me and my friend came here to get a tongue and vertical labret lip piercing on a whim, it was $56 total and the piercer verifies the position of the piercing with you during the process (I was nervous so I thumbs upped a slightly off center position but that might also be due to the size of the barbell because it is new, my friends think I'm seeing things so I'm sure it's centered haha) . . . Also for clarification, I only got the vertical for $56 read more

Came here a little over a week ago with a few others and we all got our ears pierced (helix and lobes) by Betty. She did an awesome job. She was very patient, made sure we were comfortable throughout the whole process and carefully explained the after care procedure. All of our piercings are healing nicely. Definitely recommend this place and will be coming back. Edit: forgot to mention that she made sure that there would be no chance of cross contamination whatsoever. Very clean. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. Angie is the BEST, I was super scared of getting my septum pierced and she was so calming and sweet! I don't know if it was because of her personality or how good she is at piercing (honestly it was probably both) but it barely hurt and I'm so so happy with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!!!!! read more
