Jayd'n was such a chill presence when I was initially anxious to get my first piercings as an adult. He walked me through the whole process and made sure the placement worked to balance the slightly lopsided holes I already had from childhood. He handed me a little cupcake plushie to squeeze during the piercing and that's the kind of customer service I love. I'm so happy with how my new piercings look and I'll most likely be back with a friend in the near future to get another!

DO NOT, REPEAT, NOT ever take your $ or time to Inkladore Tattoo / Piercing Studio in Springfield -…read moreNOT EVER! I wish 0 was a rating option, but I'll have to settle with a 1. Kinda like getting the 13th place participation ribbon; fitting for Inkladore. Long story short, Inkladore made appointments only after receiving our deposits; then agreed to see three of us for a group tattoo session. But, 2 weeks later, we show up - not enough tattoo artists and they seemed to forget their commitment to us for the $150 we deposited. After 45-minute wait (with other customers being serviced), we were told there was only 1 tattoo artist, for 2 (not 3) of us, and she was currently busy; so we asked for our $'s back. Poor guy at the desk called the manager, who on speaker phone (for everyone in the store to hear) say, "tell that Bxxxx to Shut the Fxxx Up" when my wife asked for our $150 back.... (it gets better....). The person shouting at everyone then stated, "you aren't getting your $'s back, get out of my store". Finally, I asked for the owner's contact info (as required by the BBB) and was refused that info, then told by the poor guy at the desk, "leave the store now or I'm calling the police". The only silver lining of this tragic story, I finally found THE WORST run business on the planet in over six decades! If you're looking for a case study on how NOT to run a business - your search is over: Inkladore! If you're even remotely considering Inkladore - DON'T! Sebastian

Marvin was fabulous. He used a tool and discovered that my ears were still open and he was able to insert earrings. He was very gentle, and concerned about my comfort. I would definitely recommend!

from the moment you call to the moment you step foot through the door of that shop, you'll feel…read morelike you're in good hands. I did so much research before booking an appointment with Jen because I specifically wanted to get my nipples pierced. I wanted to go to someone with experience and all the reviews online pointed to Jen! getting an appointment was not difficult, you can book online. paperwork must be completed prior to your appointment. when you first arrive, you need to text the number on the door before they let you in. once you are inside, they'll confirm your piercing of choice with you and then Jen pops out of nowhere and takes you into a room! she let me start off with any questions I had and boy, did I have a lot. I had gone down an internet rabbit hole and I knew I needed to speak to an actual professional before the piercing. Jen is a saint with the patience of an angel. she showed me a few photos and helped me figure out if I wanted a vertical or horizontal nipple piercing. she will make sure everything is consensual prior to doing it. I got to pick out my jewelry prior to the piercing and she sanitized the jewelry in the room. now, I knew I went with the right piercer when Jen took her sweet, sweet time marking my nipples. not only did she take her time, she made sure it was even and looked good. I was so impressed with her ability to eyeball a nipple and to get it centered. Jen will mark your nipples a few dozen times, but you want that because the last thing you want is a freaking lopsided piercing so trust the process! when we started the actual process of piercing, she went through how she was going to pierce it and had me take a deep breath to help with the nerves. a nipple piercing seriously hits a little differently than a piercing on your ear. the pain didn't last very long and Jen asked if I needed additional time before piercing my other nipple....which I declined because I really just wanted it done after the piercings, she had me lay there for a bit before sitting up. I know getting up too fast can make some people light headed especially after a piercing and she explained, it can happen especially when the blood flow is redirected after a procedure like so. she went over healing, what to do and what not to do after the piercing and cleaning with me. all in all, Brilliance Piercing is highly recommended. I truly can't thank Jen enough for dealing with my hundreds of questions, making sure my piercings would look good, making sure I was comfortable every step of the way and most of all for just being one of the best professional piercers I have ever encountered. if you're interested in piercing your body in anyway, I cannot recommend Jen enough. she only works two days a week now so for me to snag a 4:50 PM appointment on a Thursday with her was a blessing. also big shout out to Keightley and Elizabeth for their fantastic customer service. they answered all my questions and were super patient with me as well!

I initially came here to get my ears repierced after they closed up during my postpartum period. I…read moreswallowed the high price tag expecting premium service, but their customer service is completely rigid and lacking any basic empathy. Be prepared to spend hundreds of dollars once you factor in the premium jewelry they require you to purchase. Their piercing appointments are scheduled for an hour, yet the actual piercing only takes about 5-10 minutes. A significant portion of the appointment is spent discussing and selling jewelry. The real problem came with the follow-up downsizing appointment. After they emailed me to schedule it, the earliest availability was about a month out. As a new mom coordinating childcare for a baby and making a 40-minute drive through NoVA traffic is not easy. The downsizing appointment itself is only scheduled for 20 minutes, which made what happened next even more frustrating. Unfortunately, there was a lot of traffic on a Saturday and I arrived 12 minutes late. When I got there, a front desk lady met me at the door and refused to let me in. My appointment was canceled on the spot because I hadn't called or texted to say I was running late. I was driving and not checking my phone, which apparently didn't matter. There was no flexibility, no understanding, and no sympathy whatsoever for any circumstances. I was told another client was waiting in their car. So after waiting a month for an appointment, arranging my schedule around a baby, and driving 40 minutes, I left without receiving any service at all. Their policies may be their policies, but customer service matters too. The experience felt cold, inflexible, and completely dismissive. Given how much time is built into their appointments and how heavily they emphasize jewelry sales, I was surprised there was absolutely no flexibility for a customer who was a little late due to traffic. There are plenty of piercing studios out there, and after this experience, I would absolutely not waste time here. The prices are already high, and the lack of consideration for customers and new moms made me feel like a lesser person.

She is super personable to talk to - that my session went by pretty quickly - and so skilled at what she does. I sent over two inspo pictures and she got the design just right with the font, spacing and even delicateness of the letters! I absolutely love it. I normally get skin hives from environmental stressors but my tattoo was only slightly red immediately after and not hiving at all in the recovery. It is healing really well, too. The business itself is also very welcoming and bright. I cannot recommend this business and Maddy enough!

Lora is truly the best -- highly recommend. I used to have very low piercings and they looked terrible. I tried getting stacked piercings at Rowan, but the nurse (piercer) didn't really know what they were doing. My ears were poked multiple times, nothing was lined up, and it just looked off. Even though I paid a lot, I ended up taking them out. Then I went to Lora -- she immediately understood what I wanted, walked me through everything, and gave thoughtful recommendations. The result looks SO much better. I honestly wish I had found her earlier. Do not go to places that use piercing guns or devices -- they don't follow your markings properly. Go to Lora.
