Huge shout out to Kayla who was juggling multiple clients including myself, making sure she herself was fed (please take more than two bites next time!) and was super fast with my piercing! I got my septum done and I hat needles so 10/10 job to her for not only being swift - but also not waving the needling around my peripheral and leaving it in my blind spot LOL Super clean, super chill vibes, very well organized and I really prefer parlors with a kind of open concept like this one does! Definitely wanna get my next piercing and tattoo here! Thanks Obsidian, and thank you Kayla!!! read more

Andy was recommended to me, by a friend of my wife. When I arrived, the staff was very friendly and helped me get set for my ear lopes to be pierced. The place was very clean and inviting. Andy explained all that needed to be done and prepared me for the process. You can tell Andy and the staff enjoyed what they do there and were easy to talk with. I would recommend this place to a friend. read more

Andy, the head piercer, who did the piercing was cool but i feel like he could've done a better job with how he performed the piercing. only used corks and no tongs although he had the tongs out. he gave a botched tongue piercing. had to remove it the next day, not even 24 hours later. will not be returning. he is a self taught piercer and unfortunately, it shows. even with the 30 years of experience, he should learn more and better ways to pierce and not the older techniques if that's even how they used to do them. he also shouldn't do piercings that he's not experienced with. but he still did it. stick to getting nose and ear piercings from him if you consider going here; not that i got nose or ear piercings from him but he has them posted on his page and has a portfolio of them. the place itself was a vibe tho, very queer friendly. read more

Clean and knowledgeable staff. My piercing went in easy and has been a breeze to take care of. 10/10 would recommend.

I scheduled a consult with Pat Hawk at the Emmaus location. I had a lot that I wanted to do, and I never met him before. From the get go, I was greeted politely and Pat was very professional. We talked ALOT and he answered all my questions. He is very knowledgeable. He was very considerate of what I wanted done, I wanted his professional reccomendations based on my anatomy etc. We did a great job of meeting in the middle. I am so happy with the result and I enjoyed my time chatting as well. Top notch, very clean and professional, I will definitely go back for any piercings I get in the future. read more

Came in for daughter's second ear piercing. Very professional and clean facility. Super friendly and very assuring when explaining procedures. I would highly recommend coming here for any and all Kinda of piercing. read more

My first time getting a piercing, had both my lobes done. Everyone was extremely nice, they had a nice selection of jewelry, and the shop was so clean! They explained their standards and process and made the whole experience very comfortable. Will definitely recommend to others. read more

Got a piercing here a few months ago and had a pretty good experience until I was having some issues and had a bump on my skin, came in to get the jewelry changed out just for the piercer to tell me "Whoever did this piercing did a horrible job, they placed it in the wrong spot and there's no fixing this so you need to take the jewelry out and let it heal." meanwhile I got it done in this shop, I am extremely frustrated to have paid for this piercing just for me to not be able to have it anymore and they told me I can probably never have a piercing in this spot again. I have never had any issues like this before with any of my other piercings that I have gotten done at other shops, would not recommend wasting your time with this place. read more

Great professional experience! Got the Monroe piercing, it was quick looks amazing. Thank you Dan

What a great place . My daughter decided to get her ears pierced - she is 8.5- we had heard this place is THE place to go and ANDY was the best. So we went. YUP- both were amazing ! Andy was gentle, patient and so so kind with my daughter . He explained everything , had her invloved with the process and really did things on her terms . I can't say enough about him! The place was extremely clean , welcoming and ready to help. Prices are worth it for this kind of experience - thanks ANDY! read more

Had a fantastic experience here! My teen daughter wanted a cartilage ear piercing and Andy was fabulous. He explained everything to her and was extremely helpful. The piercing looks awesome and my daughter is thrilled with it. read more

Due to COVID I have had a hard time finding places that are open and willing to do nose or lip piercings, but I was so happy to find Obsidian. My husband and I loved how clean & professional the parlor was and how accommodating they were as well. Getting my nose pierced was pretty nerve racking for me, but it was honestly the easiest piercing I've ever gotten, I can't wait to go back to get my cartilage repierced. The man who did my piercing made sure I had all the knowledge I needed and answered every question I had, he was awesome! Highly recommend this place! read more

Dan pierced 3 of my friends and myself and did an amazing job. He answered all of our questions and made the experience enjoyable.

I gave a previous 5-star review for my nose piercing (of which I still LOVE!). But, this week I went and got my first tattoos. Once again, I was blown away by the professionalism and quality of the work. From the artist who set up my app and explained the process (Joshua) to the artist who did the work. Savannah was so so patient with my 1) anxiety about the possible pain and 2) indecisiveness about tattoo look and placement. She re-drew and reconfigured to give me exactly what I want without any irritation about it. She was kind about my pain and enjoyable to chat with during the process. I highly recommend this place for piercings and tattoos, whether you're an older newbie like myself (40's getting first tattoos and piercing) who doesn't know the process and was a bit intimidated by it or a seasoned pro with many tattoos and piercings! read more

I got my second lobes replaced by Luna and she absolutely saved my ears. I originally got them done at a different shop that pierced me with brass earrings, but Luna was able to assess the swelling in my lobes and put in the perfect SAFE earrings for them to heal. Cannot recommend enough - worth every penny!!!! Also had a great selection of jewelry. read more

I got 2 piercing over the weekend by Andy and I am so pleased with them! The shop was spotless and comfortable, Andy was so helpful and knowledgable and the whole experience was awesome. I live about 75 miles from the shop and I will be back (the shop is about 10 miles from my parents house). Their jewelry selection is top top notch and very diverse. I have been pierced multiple times and this was 100% my best experience. read more

Obsidian Tattoo & Piercing Parlor - Right nostril piercing is approx 6 years old, left nostril was done by Andy- they line up perfectly! - Tattoo Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

The shop is immaculate, the artists are welcoming and friendly. I was able to schedule a tattoo appointment in a very reasonable time frame which was great, where as alot of studios are way overbooked and overwhelmed. I had the start of my chest piece done by Savannah, who was extremely personable and a delight to get worked on by. She understood exactly what I was hoping to get, in not only the font style I sent to her, but in the exact size without having to ask twice. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a professional, sanitary and not at all egotistical parlor to get future work done. read more

It was my first time here and it was the best treatment I've gotten at a Tattoo/Piercing shop. Called to make an appointment and they were able to take me in same day. Andy was super nice and very knowledgeable. Got my piercing done and I love it. Honestly, would recommend 100%! read more

Not only is Obsidian a beautiful shop, they are very professional and total life savers. After dropping my nose ring down the drain (not all that uncommon for me!) i was greeted with prompt and friendly responses! Also having worked next door to them for the past three years, i can honestly say that this is a 10/10 stand up establishment that i recommend highly! read more

My 7 year old daughter got her ears pierced by Andy today. Everything you read is true. He was wonderful every step of the way. He put us both at ease, giving her a sense of control over the whole process. She didn't even flinch when he put the needle in; he was quick and careful. Actual piercing was done in less than 2 minutes. And most importantly, he put safety #1. Everything was sanitary. Needles are single use and cause less trauma to the ear lobe. Within minutes she had no redness or pain whatsoever. I am a fan for life, Andy! read more

I started getting pierced in the 90's and when I moved to PA, I took them out because I didn't think I could get the same quality piercings as I did in the city. Then we found this parlor! I've gotten three new piercings in three months and will be back for more. The shop is immaculate, Andy is more than helpful and knowledgable and the jewelry is quality and very pretty. This is my absolute favorite shop! Adding I'm up to 11 piercings with Andy now. I can't say enough good things. Tasha's work is so pretty. She has beautiful line work in tattooing! read more

I wouldn't go anywhere else to get pierced. I have been going to Andy for years. I wouldn't trust anyone else to poke holes in me.

Fantastic experience at Obsidian!! My daughter wanted her ears pierced for her 9th birthday and we heard great things about having it done here, so we gave it a try. Andy was amazing with her, explained what he was going to do, and did everything he could to ease her nerves. He was super patient, especially afterwards as we waited for her wooziness to pass! Highly recommend, especially for kids' first piercing! read more

One of the nicest piercing shops I've ever been in. I would not go anywhere else. The jewelry selection is beautiful and both of the piercers are super knowledgeable and kind. read more

Kicks ass!!! Super clean, great work and reasonable prices for such great quality. The atmosphere is great too!!

I used to go to tasha for years. I ended up working for her and nannying her children. When I had put my three week notice in, she cut all my hours watching them and made it clear she no longer wanted to see me. So once I had quit I started looking for new artists. She did a piece on my arm, charged me over $100 an hour to do it and didn't even finish it. So by the time I had the money to finish it I was polite and asked for an appointment. She was short with me and didn't make it seem like she wanted me there. So I went to my new regular artist. When I did that she went all over social media and complained about me. I saw her last night at the mall while she was with her children and she straight up got nasty with me. And yelled at me over a tattoo that just got her hair filled in. Completely unprofessional. When I was working for her, all she did was complain about her customers. On top of that, I get keloids incredibly easily so my skin cannot handle a heavy hand. Everything I have from her, even from five years ago, is still raised and bumpy. Would not recommend. read more
