PIERCED. IS. MY. LIFE. SAVER. I got other ear piercings done here by both Kat and Carlos but never nose piercings so when I came here for help. Carlos literally took care of me!!! He explained everything from what caused it to the type of jewelry and metal. He replaced my nose jewelry for a flat back after seeing the disaster the other shop did. I'm so happy! Below is a background story of how I got here: This was done at a random spot in Fullerton. I had an L shaped put in ( I'm new to nose piercings & had no idea about flat backs or metal) and that it would cause irritation. So here's this UGLY IRRITATION BUMP that grew like the fairy godmother's birthday cake for Aurora in sleeping beauty towering over my piercing. ANYWAYS, I LOVE THIS PLACE & I'm sticking to this charming location. THANKS PIERCED! read more

My daughter is 17 and just got her ears pierced with Carlos 6 wks ago. I personally would never go here for piercing and not sure how she found this place. Carlos is not very welcoming but very straight forward It's Very clean in there but he was vaping in between guests. Also we weren't disclosed all the necessary pricing info- & totally felt nickel and dime and Everything was an "up charge " he told us to come back in 6 wks to resize her earrings. We weren't told there was a $20 service fee. He told us when we paid the total it's included in price. I also gave a very generous TIP without knowing another visit was going to cost $20 and he swap out the earrings which I was NOT told that was happening. So who knows what earrings he replaced my daughter with.... I'm not happy things weren't clear to begin with all Carlos said was "it's on our website" after I brought up these extra charges and why is he swapping out earrings. Anyway, just do your due diligence & read all the info ON the Website before you go in because they won't tell you in person There are a lot of up charges as well- he also said anytime they "touch" your body there is a "fee" bc sanitation and they are doing a service read more

My friend and I had a great experience at Pierced! We were walk-ins on a Wednesday night about an hour before their closing time, so we were taken care of quickly. The Circle parking nearby was a breeze and the shop itself was very clean, cute, and welcoming. Carlos resized our nostril studs and ended up repiercing my septum to lower it and relocate it properly after I'd dealt with a poorly placed piercing site for over eight years. He was very accommodating and funny throughout our visit. Next time we need a piercing, we know where to go! read more

Carlos is incredible! We brought our 9 year old daughter to get her first piercings, she was very scared and let me express this heavily Carlos was so gentle and so fantastic with her, she had no idea he had finished her first piercing! He talked with her and made this such a painless experience. He was a total professional but beyond that he handled her with genuine care and like a human being! I can't recommend Carlos more our daughters friends already want to come see him and get their first piercings as well! What a great dude and a beautiful shop, his jewelry selection is super high quality and all around top notch! Thank you again Carlos and we for sure will be back! read more

I've had 6 fresh piercings here, including 5 cartilage piercings and one lobe. The jewelry selection is fire and the service is tops. The staff is very knowledgeable and welcoming. The prices are totally reasonable and I find the overall value and experience to be a cut above other local shops. The first time I popped in, Carlos reopened several of my original piercings and helped me with some fresh jewelry after I waited a little too long to put them back myself after an MRI. Very cool and professional. Kat is absolutely amazing at her craft and has done the majority of my piercings. She pierced both my tragus and conch, two of the thickest parts of the ear, and I hardly felt a thing because she moves so fast and smooth. Always a good vibe and my official go to for all future piercings. read more

I came to Pierced with an embedded back dermal hoping I could walk out with my swag back and Carlos made sure I did! I had to get my post removed and replaced but he did it quickly and professionally. I am very happy I came here and got my issue fixed, will be my go to spot now :) read more

I went with a friend to get our double helix piercings, and unfortunately our experience was very mixed. The girl who initially helped us was incredibly kind and made us feel comfortable. However, she seemed to be in a rush to leave for the day, so she handed us off to another piercer. He was very friendly and had a great, laid-back personality, which made the appointment enjoyable. Unfortunately, the actual piercings were disappointing. After we left, my friend and I both realized our double helix piercings were noticeably uneven and didn't line up with the opposite side of our ears. We had to return to have them looked at, and even after that, we ultimately decided to remove all of our jewelry because we weren't happy with the placement. To make matters worse, one of the jewelry pieces I purchased was defective and kept coming loose. I ended up going to another piercing studio to have the jewelry tightened, cleaned, and checked. I truly appreciated how friendly both employees were, but I expected better quality control, more precise placement, and a final check to make sure everything was even before we left. Sadly, this experience left us disappointed. read more

Amazing experience. My piercer was so kind and sweet. Practically painless and amazing jewelry choices. read more

My daughter was having surgery and needed someplace to remove her daith piercing. We found this location on yelp and went by during the evening. The worker was very nice and was able to help her remove the piercing immediately. A couple of days later we went back and my daughter met Kat. She was super friendly and helped my daughter pick out some new jewelry and put them in for her. This is my daughter's new favorite piercing location and she will be back soon. read more

I've been debating on getting a nose piercing for SO long and finally decided to pull the plug! The shop was SUPER clean and there were so many cute options for jewelry. Carlos immediately took me in and from start to finish he was sure to walk me through the whole process and helped me with placement. As for the piercing itself - so quick and nothing but a pinch! Will definitely return to carlos for new nose jewelry and/or my next piercing!! read more

Came as a walk-in on a Sunday afternoon to get a tragus piercing for me and a third lobe for my friend. It was a super smooth and clean experience. I was nervous, but the pain was like a 2 out of a 10. Truly barely felt any pain. Staff was friendly and professional. I also bought their $10 unscented Castile soap for aftercare. Quick, professional, and would definitely recommend! read more

Carlos was so helpful and so amazing! He's super informative and made me feel so comfortable from start to finish. I went in for my tragus and a conch piercing, which i was super nervous for but it was so quick! 100/10 experience and will definitely be back. read more

Sanitation is definitely important for these guys. Overall it was a quick and painless piercing that was reasonably priced and Carlos even gave me after care tips. Will definitely be coming back. read more

I saw that Carlos from pierced had done tapered conch piercings on IG so I went in on impulse and he was able to take me as a walk in. The shop is so cute and felt very welcoming.

Thanks Carlos! read more

Cute new piercing location at the Orange Circle. Randomly decided to get one ear piercing, to match my opposite ear when in the area. The staff is friendly and informative! It was super quick as there was only one person before me. It is pricey, but the products that they use are not cheap and nickel free! You get what you pay for. I would recommend and if I ever decide to get another random piercing, I would come back! read more

Went with a group of friends - we were getting second and third ear holes and one nose piercing. Carlos was our piercer and walked us through everything from start to finish. He was very professional but also made space for our group to interact with one another and observe one another's piercings. Piercing was quick and painless. He was super friendly, kind, explained everything thoroughly, funny and personable - we were there for an hour and a half, choosing our jewelry, laughing, and having a good time, and never felt rushed. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back. read more

Great experience! I came in on Saturday and Kat assisted me with both my septum and helix! They came out so great and the process was easy. Jewelery is reasonably priced and the customer service is what would make me come back besides the smooth piercing process! read more

I came here because I was looking to get a piercing. I checked a few other shops In the area and came across this one. When I arrived there was a sign on the door that an inventory run was being made and that they would be back in an hour. I waited because I read some good reviews on this shop and I like supporting small biz. The piercer arrived and I was on the fence on getting my conch or a surface tragus.. The guy had a bit of a cold demeanor and I was feeling a bit rushed on choosing what I wanted so I decided on a surface tragus. A few of his friends showed up and were hanging out, which did not bother me in the least bit. The shop itself is pretty cool and cozy; I really liked the decor and the jewelry selection is pretty cool. When I asked how this particular piercing is done he replied in a way that made me feel dumb ( along the lines of "well the needle goes in and then jewelry"... like I haven't been getting piercings for the past 25 years, just not a surface piercing). The piercing itself was pretty smooth and didn't hurt much. At this time he actually talked me through it a bit and was kind. After we finished I got up to look and was trying to get a good side view in the mirror. I noticed a small hand held mirror on a table and I picked it up to get a good view ( I thought it was harmless) and was immediately told "don't touch my stuff" by the piercer to which I immediately apologized and when I went to put the mirror back he kind of snapped it out of my hand (I am a nurse and work at a hospital and it reminded me of how doctors are with sterile fields). While walking to the front of the shop for me to pay he started mansplaining saying "it's like you don't go to the bar and touch the bartenders stuff..." right in front of his friends, which was embarrassing for me. I payed and left like a dog with its tail between its legs. I was also told this piercing was $100 including the jewelry but I was charged $130. I didn't question it because I did not want further confrontations or embarrassment. I now want to have the jewelry checked to make sure it's screwed in tight enough because it feels a bit loose but I don't know if I want to come back to this shop. I don't like writing negative reviews but I just wanted to give my honest experience. read more

Everyone in search of getting pierced needs to visit Pierced. in Orange County. I was a walk-in client on Friday morning (09/19) a few minutes after they had opened, hoping to get my septum re-pierced. I was welcomed in and assisted by Kat, who was amazing and so cool. Despite being the only piercer in the morning, there was great attention to detail. Kat quickly went through the paperwork, piercing history, pricing, and jewelry choice. The piercing process was easy, quick, and not painful at all! Kat was so welcoming and their attitude is one of the many reasons I will return for future work! The while process was anywhere between 15-20 minutes overall! Pierced. will definitely be recommended to everyone I know ! read more

A friend recommended this place to me and I'm so glad she didThis was my first piercing besides getting my ears pierced as a kid, and it was so easy! Kat was very helpful in explaining all of the aftercare, including recommendations for clothing and timeframes for swimming. She was so quick with it, I barely felt it. read more

I went in just to get som jewelry thinking it would be a cool new shop to go to, but I was wrong. The guy that was working felt like he was just trying to rush us out and had a very condescending attitude. When I had asked a question, he talked to me as if I was stupid for not knowing. This shop is also very overpriced, I have gone to other shops that charge less for the same quality and better efficiency and attitude than Pierced. I definitely will not be coming back. read more

My husband and I had a great experience with Carlos. He was super meticulous with my bridge, I really appreciated that he did not rush the process and it made me feel really comfortable to trust him. It was my husband's first piercing ever and he had his eyebrow done. Again, Carlos was very detailed oriented and you could tell he takes pride in his work. We're both looking forward to returning for our jewelry swap in a few weeks. read more

Kat is the best, dead ass! She's always cool and always professional but I'm just biased tbh. The shop is always vibing and I love the jewelry selections they have on display. I will never go to another shop or piercer read more

Very rude and unwelcoming. I went to purchase an earring and while I was selecting one and then made the choice I had already told the gal I needed them to put it in for me. They didn't have a great selection but I selected and asked for them to put it on. It was just an earring change was probably what seemed to not be appealing for the piercer. So he skipped me and took the person who walked in behind me. When I mentioned it to the gal she said "I know, I'm sorry. " So I left. I was trying to support small biz here in my town since I also have a small biz. It's too bad. Hope he makes it with that salty vibe read more

Insane lowkey, so overpriced and sell starter jewelry that can snag so easily because I happened to pick a design they carried, they gave me too small of a bar TWICE (both times they did not own up to their mistake and I had to pay) so small that the gunk buildup irritated the piercing, when I finally went back to get them to swap out the snagging design and get ANOTHER bigger bar with just a flat disk decoration the guy working 3/15 around noon was so rude when I called to check their hours because their door was locked during the posted ones and when he was putting in my earrings ($20 service fee btw and I had to pay for despite bar given being wrong and design snagging) I thought it hurt way more than it should have but went on with my day, looked in the mirror through my phone camera later to see the state of the piercing he put the earrings in, nice dude, really nice. Genuinely tried to be extremely nice and chatty with him and this was the kinda service I got after lowkey being wronged by this place 3 times lmao. Avoid read more

I got my forward helix and my helix pierced, my piercer was Carlos. He was very nice and walked me through the process and helped me pick out what options would look good. There is a decent selection of jewelry but I wish there was more gold options, can't complain too much about that though, theres still a decent selection.There was this strange guy who I saw when walking in and came inside after my piercing was done just for the sake of it, didn't want anything. Unsure what that was about, made me a little bit uncomfy but it wasn't the studio's fault, just thought I'd mention it incase anyone wants to be a tiny bit cautious about that. Everyone who worked there (2 people that day as far as i could tell) was very nice and respectful and the process was very easy, quick, and most importantly clean. :) I will come back here. read more

She was also very informative, super funny, and made the process very easy. Can't wait to go back! read more
