I'll definitely be coming to North Cove for any future piercings. Since this was essentially my first piercing as an adult, I really appreciated how comfortable and easy the experience felt. My belly button piercing was also more affordable than I expected. The process was painless for me, and Jake took the time to walk me through simple aftercare tips and instructions, which I found really helpful. The studio is no frills and simple. Walk in's and cash only! read more

Jake only does walk-ins so I went in for a nasal piercing that I had been contemplating for about 10 years. He was very professional and good at putting me at ease, and the process was over in about 10 minutes (good thing because any longer and I might have run :-)). His shop is very clean and he uses a sterile set-up, which also pleased me. Jake was very informative about after-care and I have since healed with no complications. Highly recommend! read more

Visiting from Austin. I have a week old nose piecing and somehow the screw came out of the stud. Can't say I wasn't a bit freaked out and worried the stud would follow. Using Yelp as I do for most everything, I found North Cove Piercing Studio, 157 5 star reviews. I messaged the studio and Jacob responded almost immediately, saying he could help me out. Jacob is so knowledgeable and gentle. He has a decade of experience. He explained everything as he went. Put in a shorter stud after cleaning well. We had a great conversation. He wanted just to charge 5 bucks! I wasn't having that. So if you are fortunate enough to live in the Tacoma area, Jacob is your man. I was extremely impressed. read more

Cash only! Excellent quality for a very reasonable price! I got a single piercing, it was my first piercing since my earlobes closed as a kid. I felt comfortable, and as a woman I felt safe. He's friendly, talkative but in a good way. I also got a free follow-up two weeks later, and I'm going back in two months to make sure everything is healed nicely. I've also heard good things about North Cove from coworkers and friends! And if you forget to bring cash, there's a Wells Fargo with an ATM within throwing distance. 11/10 read more

I've always hated my nose but I always loved nose piercings. In the spirit of loving myself I went ahead and decided to get my nose pierced- f the haters (turns out the biggest hater is usually me and I'm done with that mess). I picked the place using yelp reviews and Jake did not disappoint. Tucked in a tiny tiny strip mall I found his shop and walked in. I was the only customer at that point. Everything was clean and Jake himself was easy to talk to. I was a bit nervous but it was not a big deal. Aside from loving my piercing I also really enjoyed talking with Jake. He did great with all the COVID cleaning too. I wish I could say I would be back but I was on a solo road trip and had to head back to CA. I recommend anyone else in town to def get their piercings done here. read more

With a perfect five-star rating, I had high expectations for this shop. And man oh man did they deliver. I came here to get my ears pierced for the first time. When I first entered, I was greeted right away and told how long my approximate wait time was by Jake. I spent most of my time waiting (not too long) by looking over the many piercings he has to offer. My experience could not have gone better. I was very nervous at first, since I've never been pierced before. But Jake was really fun and easy to talk to, and really put me at ease. He did a great job, too! Very clean, thorough, and careful. Once he was finished, he gave me a run down on how I should clean my ears and how often I should do so, answered the questions I had, as well as provided me with a couple of cleaning solutions. Paid $60 (before tip) for a pair of earrings, which I believe is a great price. Highly recommended! read more

5 star rating well deserved. Decided to come back after accompanying my brother for his ear piercings and loved how professional Jake was with him. I came in on a Saturday evening and had to wait outside since there were already people in the lobby due to COVID restrictions. I didn't have to wait too long at all until talking with Jake with what I wanted and signed a form. His entire shop is very clean! Took me to the back, and believe me when I say Jake is such an easy guy to talk to. Super professional with what he does but makes the nervousness go away. I can come back for him to help me change my piercing what it's healed a bit more for no extra charge. I'll definitely be back for that, and some more piercings! read more

After reviewing the comments regarding the North Cove Piercing my fiancé, son and I decided to check it out. I went in to get my nose pierced. In summary, our overall experience surpassed the 5 star comments we researched on Yelp. Immediately there was a line at the door 5 minutes before the place opens. When it was my turn, Jack was welcoming and made you feel comfortable with the process. Kept an upbeat conversation with us and didn't mind my curious 2 yr old as he walked around the room. Jack is what makes this place great. He provides a detailed breakdown on how to care for your piercing after you leave, provides you with the soap and welcomes you to come back for any further questions. Once I figure out what my next piercing will be I'll be sure to return here. read more

Want to make sure I bring enough cash, how much is a nasal piercing?

$70 for a nostril piercing.

Hi, do you do tragus piercing?

Yes, I do those.

Hi Jake, I have a dermal anchor piercing above my eyebrow that is half rejected, half under the skin and I'd like it removed. Is that a service that you offer? Thanks!

Hello! No, I don’t provide or remove dermal anchors.

Do you do anti eyebrows?

No, I don’t do those.

Hi Jake, Do you sell double hoop nose rings? You pierced my nose a couple years ago and I want to change out my nose ring. And do you suggest a particular jewelry? I trust no one else with my piercing needs and hope you can help change this. Thanks!!

I don’t have any of those types of rings in stock currently. I’ll do some looking around and see if I can get some. I can definitely help change the jewelry for you when you’re ready.

Do you charge for downsizing jewelry after swelling goes down? if so how much would it cost?

I don’t charge my clients for shorter jewelry after swelling.

Hey Jake, do you do Medusa piercings? If so, what do you charge? Thanks!!

Yes, I do those. They cost $60.

Hello How much does a belly button piercing cost?

$60 for a navel piercing.

Hi! how much is a single lobe piercing on both ears?

A pair of earlobe piercings costs $60.

Hi, anyone know how to remove the flat back earrings?

The front bead will either pull straight off, or unscrew counter clockwise.

How young do you pierce ears?

13 and older, but no younger than 13.

No answers yet. Be the first to answer.

Hi there, do you sell solid gold earrings for piercings? My skin is sensitive to other metals. Thank you so much for your help!

Do you sell niobium seam rings for nostril piercings?

I do. I have some currently in stock in black, and in 18g and 16g in 5/16” and 3/8” diameter. If you want a different color or size I should be able to order them.

Do parents have to be present for just a consultation if I'm a minor?

No, not for the consultation. If you decide you want to get a piercing done you’ll have to have a parent or legal guardian with you and both of you will need to provide State or Federally issued I.D.

Do you do consultations for existing piercings?

I most definitely do.

Hi Jake! I got my piercings from you yesterday. is Dial Gold soap or Dove unscented sensitive soap ok to use on my nose and rook piercings?

Liquid Dial gold works pretty well, but some folks say it can dry out skin a bit. I’ve found that Dr. Bronner’s unscented baby soap works for just about everybody.

Is it possibly to get a double nostril (on the same side) piercings all at once or do I have to wait for one to heal before getting the other? also how many piercings are you okay with doing at one time?

Two nostril piercings in the same sitting is fine. I’m able to do as many piercings for you at once as you’d like. Keep in mind that more you get, the more painful the piercings get the more we do. Your body has a limited amount of endorphins to use… Read more

He was rigid, aggressive, and belittled both me and my teenage daughter during our piercing session today. There are a lot of rules at this place. I am sure he has his reasons for them but some seem odd. We were told to back in to a certain space in his lot and wait to be waved in. Ok, fine. Then when walking in we were told not once but twice to wipe our feet. Ok, fine. As soon as we walked into the lobby, we were told to sit in specific chairs, twice, ok fine. He then began spewing out a ton of information. We tried to take it all in. He then asked my daughter if she wanted posts or hoops for her double piercing. She said posts for now but would be wearing hoops later after sports season. I then gave him the gift certificate I had purchased for my daughter to use for this session. He immediately said in an irritated and condescending voice, "did I not tell you to let me know when making an appointment to tell me if you were using a gift certificate"? I told him he had not and he said, "well, now I have to change things!" I have no idea what that change would be but I have never been told by any business that I have to tell them ahead of time I am using a gift certificate. Ok, fine. We then get called back to the piercing area. He told my daughter that he was going to mark her ears where he would pierce them and she could tell him if she wanted them moved. He placed the marks higher than she liked and politely told them so. He immediately became outwardly irritated with her. She said she would like to wear hoops in the second hole (meaning eventually as stated in the lobby) and he aggressively said, "well, why didn't you tell me that in the lobby when I asked!?". My daughter is 15. He kept belittling her, for no reason, so I stepped in and said, "this is her first time getting double piercings" hoping this would make him realize he was being unkind in his communication with her. He then remarked her ears. At this point had I not already purchased a gift certificate for her for Christmas, we would have left the business. He then pierced her ears and placed them very well. He used great sanitary procedures and explained them all VERY extensively. When we thought he was done as he was wiping down the countertop, we stood up, very ready to leave. He then told my daughter to sit back down, twice, so she could watch him clean the countertop. He asked her if she had any questions but at this time, we were both so nervous to ask him anything, that we stayed silent. He then tried to make small talk with us but we were done. He knows his craft. He is sanitary but his customer service absolutely sucks. He may have pierced people 1000 times in his career but this was a new experience for my daughter. He acts as if everyone should know exactly what he is talking about instead of offering customer service. I don't need my ass kissed but basic pleasantries and not being talked down to would be nice.

The new location off 6th Ave is a definite up grade! Trendy area of Tacoma. Easy to find and simple…read moreenough to locate the glass doors leading to the shop on the 2nd floor. Large, open studio with plenty of windows and ample parking around. I immediately felt comfortable here, very clean and nicely decorated shop, feels like an art studio. Everyone was friendly and professional. I totally enjoyed my time with Erin. I love the tattoos she did for me! She is super friendly and a highly competent artist. I am so happy I finally found a female tattoo artist I will continue to go back to. I strongly recommend checking out Tsunami Tattoo for your tattoo needs.

So i feel as though its tradition that when you're visiting a new city, with best friends, you have…read moreto do something iconic. And what's better than a tattoo. After breakfast we were walking in and out of shops hoping they would have the time for some walk ins. And we had heard from some friends that Brass Monkey was the place to try. Luckily for us Joey was available to take all 3. And thank god the universe put us in his hands because wow. His line work is unmatched, i can't stop staring at this beautiful work! Not to mention pricing is also very appropriate. He's really dope, so much so i made another appointment before i hop on a plan back to Buffalo. Extremely impressed with their energy and cleanliness of the shop. Can't wait for Sunday!

I went to get a naval piercing about a week and a half ago and I just left a different shop to have…read moreit removed. I asked for a floating naval and was told it "wouldn't give me enough room for healing". The shop I had my piercing removed from let me know that a floating naval would have been appropriate for my anatomy- instead I received a piercing incorrect for my anatomy. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND- WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND IS NOT KNOWLEDGE IN ANATOMY. Unfortunately just another boy's club shop.

I have gotten three piercings from this shop before although I haven't returned in over a year none…read moreof the same people are still there that I trusted but assumed that the quality of the jewelry used would stay the same as I've never had a reaction before . i went to go back to get my septum piercing unfortunately the next day I had developed allergic reaction such as my face turning red in spots my face was extremely swollen and many more gross symptoms . I was not briefed on aftercare nor did she tell me what gauge was in my nose and what kind of metal she used . That's the least you can do as a piercer... and the energy in the shop was very off . I trusted this Shop for many years and after returning after a year I will never go back again and I hope customers along the line don't experience what i am going through . please ask questions before getting body modifications!
