I had a splendid experience at Piercology today. Although the wait was about an hour, it was fairly crowded and we had come for a walk-in, so no appointment was needed! The wait was well worth it, my piercer Dylan was extremely kind and fun to talk to! I was super nervous to get my navel pierced, and it literally turned out perfect. I couldn't recommend this establishment more. read more

Awesome staff. Was my first time there everything went great even after i was a-little late i got a vertical helix done! Everyone is super friendly ear is a bit swelled but thats expected. read more

Very nicely decorated and well lit. Greeted with a smile and plenty of helpful information at the front desk. Thoughtful recommendations and price breakdowns. I received two piercings that took less than 30 mins. The piercer was gentle, calming and very informing. Higher price but worth the experience! read more

Got two conches pierced, both in opposite ears. The desk staff were friendly and very knowledgeable, and seemed to genuinely care about helping me curate my ear stack. Piercer was very sweet and walked me through the piercing well. The atmosphere was light, friendly, and relaxed. My go-to piercing shop from now on! read more

It's been a year and a few more piercings later and I'm happy to share that this place still rocks. I had a rook earring fall out of my ear in my sleep and panicked that it would heal up. It had been a year so I rushed my butt over there to try and save it. Dylan was great and I'm so glad we were able to recover it. He also did the other two I randomly decided to get while I was there. It was nice to have the same person consistently. Oh, and I bought two new rose gold hoops for my cartilage piercings. They were $75 a piece but after purchasing their jewelry last year and it really holding up, I was happy to pay the extra cost. Their name doesn't lie. They have truly mastered the science and art of piercing. Five stars, no doubt. read more

I went to Pierceology to get my nose pierced. I was so pleased with the results. I was greeted when I walked in. Even though they were very busy my wait wasn't too long. The piercer was so kind and patient. He explained everything. Check out was easy. Over all a really great experience. Shop was very clean. I will definitely go back. read more

My friend since childhood got an ear lobe piercing. The left ear was recently re-pierced but the right ear hadn't been pierced since 7 years ago. The right ear got terribly infected 5 days later. Now, I know that the fact that it hadn't been pierced in a while probably played a part, but theres definitely more. The employee at the front desk told her she didn't need to twist them, the earring was barely big enough to fit through her ear lobe, tons of paper work, pierced with a needle, and the earring was crooked. A few hours later the left ear bled. She tried to take her right earring out, but it was insanely difficult and painful. When she took it out, the ear was infected, puss filled, brownish purple colored, dry, and painful. The atmosphere was fine, and you wouldn't assume anything, but her experience was terrible. read more

Visited for the second time today, arrived early for my scheduled appointment and they were able to see me right away! Lauren was fantastic, super helpful and knew exactly what she was doing. The folks here are so helpful and knowledgeable, I won't go anywhere else for piercings or jewelry! Parking on a Tuesday afternoon was super easy, the shop is very clean and prices are really reasonable. Will absolutely be visiting again! read more

Came in shortly after opening as a walk-in. They were BUSY but we didn't have to wait very long. During the wait, we filled out paperwork and picked the jewelry. My daughter and I both did earlobes. I was impressed that they treated her like her own person and helped her initial/sign her own papers (she's 6yo). Hazel helped us at the counter and was pleasant, helpful, and informative. Lauren was our piercer and she did an amazing job with my kiddo who was nervous. All equipment used was opened in front of us and everything was clean and professional. read more

Be ready to wait for an obscene amount of time. I've been waiting for an hour to have two pieces cleaned and put back in and one replaced. Absolutely insane. No updates, no one checking in to let you know the process or timeframe. Do not just walk in. Little to no jewelry options and no communication and what jewelry they have is overpriced. read more

Great piercing shop! Helpful staff and super clean. Sunday was very busy but they still got us in and out quickly. Love my new piercing read more

Everyone there was very kind and helpful. It was very clean and i would highly recommend it to others.

Update: I got more piercings (shock). Like always, they did great! I had Nick this time and he made sure I liked the placement before piercing me and was very easy to talk to. I even got my helix redone (in the original picture with my daith, my old helix was infected and I took it out months after this review. With masks, it wasn't healing correctly). If anybody cares, this is a timeline of how long I've been coming here (and this is the ONLY place I will go) 2017 (my freshman year): I got my lobes pierced here. I don't remember who did them, but they did a great job. Mid to late 2018: I went and got my seconds on my lobes done as well as my helix by Christine Late 2019 or early 2020: got my daith done, also by Christine Early 2020: got my rook & tragus done, by Christine Today, 1/18/22: Got my thirds on my lobes done as well as repiercing my helix. read more

Was referred to Piercology by a few people indicating that it was the best place for piercings. I had been wanting to get a nose piercing for many years but I heard horror stories. After doing my own research and read reviews about this place I gave them a try and I have no regrets. Four months later and I haven't had any problems. I followed their cleaning and care instructions and everything is on point. I highly recommend this place. Customer service and the techs were awesome. read more

I came in to get my nose piercing jewelry changed out (I just got it pierced 9 months ago and didnt want to attempt it myself.) and they were amazing! So quick and efficient. I went in, signed a waiver, paid for the jewelry and service, waited about 5 minutes and then they took me back! Would definitely recommend! read more

I went into this shop on a whim. I had hip dermals for 6 years and I decided it was time to get them out. Back when I got them I never wore any high waisted pants... but now that's all I wear & it would often irritate them! I woke up one morning and one of the tops fell out and I knew it was time. I'm writing this to help people know that hip dermals can last that long & also that the scarring hasn't been as bad as I thought! I did wait for quite some time, but they have appts! The guy who removed mine was very nice and it was only $5 to get all three removed-- super cheap and he did an awesome job. There's a photo of right before I went in, right after they were taken out, and a month later. read more

Went to get my nose re pierced. They were very quick and professional. Explained everything in detail and gave me many choices for my nose jewel. The prices are reasonable. There were a few parents with children who they had participate in their choices which i found charming. The rooms are clean and well appointed. They do every facet of piercing you need done. They gave me aftercare instructions and advised to come Back in 6-8 weeks to downsize my piercings shaft. My piercer was a female (i can't remember her name) who was great! The location is easy to find and although parking was street side, it was ample. Great place with great vibes from all the staff! read more

We had a girls day and decided on a whim that we all wanted piercings. We walked in around 4:30-5 and after paper work we were taken back almost immediately.

I went here to get a piece of jewelry replaced because I lost the last one I purchased. I looked up the directions on Google and the hours show closing at 9pm. I arrived at 8:00pm walk in and they say they are closed. 1. Why was the door still unlocked and I was able to walk in. 2. If you knew you were closed why Ask how can you help me. I told them I just wanted to buy a piece of jewelry. The guy kept saying no we are closed. I told him the hours show 9pm and someone else said I must have been looking at another location. The were rude and they knew it so I was given a $10 gift card but I don't think that I'll be using it or going back to this business. Update your hours on Google it's not a hard thing to do. read more

Piercology - new flat piercing - Piercing Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I got my nostril pierced yesterday by Danny. The woman at the front desk was super empathetic, took her time explaining everything to me, and was patient while I picked out my jewelry. Danny made me very comfortable and put on music that I liked (I didn't ask for it, he asked me right away!) it was quick and one of the least painful piercings I have (out of 13). I was having a semi emotional breakdown about something else and he talked to me about my frustrations through the whole process so I didn't even realize we were done. It was quick and easy despite there being quite a crowd for 1:30 on a Monday afternoon. I highly recommend Danny! read more

I could not be happier with my experience at Piercology today! I brought my 6-year-old with me to get her ears pierced while I had my nostril and rook done. Everyone at the desk was helpful and patient. I had my daughter's birth certificate but not a photo which they require, so the gentleman at the front desk let me email a picture ID sent from home and printed it for me which was extremely helpful. Our piercer, Kelsi, was the best! She put on my daughter's favorite music and helped her and me feel at ease. I went first and love my piercings! My daughter got her first ear done and then panicked. Kelsi was very professional and told my daughter that it was her body and her decision. She would not pierce the other ear without my daughter herself saying she wanted it. Ultimately my daughter decided not to go through with it. Kelsi was amazing and told us to come back any time to get the other ear done (later today or a year from now!). I was very impressed with everything. If you want a piercing, this is where you should go! read more

We had a really great experience today for a first-time piercing. Lauren was amazing with my kiddo - answered all of her questions and walked her through the process. Professional, clean/sterile, and extra care was taken with earring/piercing placement. Really, really pleased! read more

I've gotten multiple piercings from here and they always do the best job!! Will definitely be back if I ever need another one :)

My first encounter with Piercology was via email, when Katelyn quickly and helpfully answered some questions I had. On the day I went in, delightful counter person Camille helped with paperwork and choosing jewelry. My actual piercings were done by visiting piercer Johnny Velez, who could not have been better. He was friendly, calming, and thorough, making sure the piercings lined up correctly and dealing with scar tissue from a piercing I got 30 years ago with no issues whatever. All in all, it could not have a been a smoother experience. The shop is clean, all necessary safety precautions are followed, and the mood is relaxed and supportive while remaining professional. As someone who had to drive into the city for this, I also loved that the shop had lots of parking nearby and was close to restaurants for post-piercing noms. read more

5.0 Stars Overview Location: This cute little awesome shop is located on 2nd St between Hunter and Ewing. The decor in this place is pretty chill and my fav color purple. It is quite small but they hold it down when it gets crowded. Customer Service: The customer service here is most definitely on point. Fast food and banks need to take notes from the staff here on how customer service should be done. The way it is done you are in line to pay for your piercing and jewelry first, then you see a different person who will be doing the actual piercing. Ben was my piercer! Hes awesome!!! Pretty good system goin just takes up the front area when people are walking in. Quality/Quantity: The quality of this place really did have me at ease opposed to other piercing and even tattoo places I have walked into. This establishment is very clean, definitely not your basic whole in the wall place. While there is soo much aftercare, piercing prices, and different brands being thrown at you the quality of the jewelry is not cheap. THANK GOD! The quantity is waaaaaaay more than I expected... you pull a piercing, size, and style out of your butt.... they got it! Trust me! Side Notes: Recommended and not recommended for large parties. If you are okay with being up close and personal I would say go for it! NOT THE ESTABLISHMENT'S FAULT... BUT GOOD LUCK TRYING TO FIND PARKING....... read more

The owner was very rude to me when I asked whether I could bring my own jewelry. I do not recommend them if you are a first-time piercer & might need a more supportive environment. Rude, brusque. And classless. read more

Cheap jewelry that gets loose and falls out easily. Coupled with poor service. Not recommended definitely won't be back.

I received nipple piercings from this parlor by the piercer named Dillon, who chose the wrong jewelry size for one of my nipples, causing severe infection and irritation. I have emailed them about this and I have gotten no reply. The nipple piercing is now very delayed in healing because of the tight barbell. I do not recommend. read more

Booked 2 appointments for a helix piercing and two ear lobe piercings with Dylan. Jewelry variations are nice and high quality. I wanted a helix marquise but it was $300 so I asked Dylan if I can email the shop for me to pick inspiration jewelry i want and they said they will try to source it for me with vendors that are safe for your body. Its best they review the kind/type you want and consult what is recommended safe. Especially for the initial healing of the piercing. Kathy prepped me and dotted a few places for me to choose to pierce from. They do hand you a pamphlet so that you can remember aftercare and downsize information. Overall I definitely will come back again and enjoyed the experience. When people complain about the price of the jewelry people forget that this is high grade jewelry and your putting this onto your body and it needs to be able to last long for longtime wear. Piercology could improve on variations for at least the $30-50 price range with maybe more hoops, stud styles that are currently in trend and marquise clusters. (maybe add bigger picture closeups of the jewelry for ease of viewing or a slide of the different jewelry on their tv screens. read more

I had a nostril piercing done by Dylan after mulling over it for years, and I am so glad I finally took the leap! The staff that greet you as you walk in are all very kind and knowledgeable on aftercare, jewelry choices, etc. Everything was very clean, sanitary and I felt very safe in my decision to come here. Also, I am not sure if I just have only heard horror stories, but the piercing itself did not hurt at all- my eyes didn't even water! Dylan must just be a master in this craft. Of course everyone's pain tolerance will be different, but the experience definitely put my anxious self at ease. Highly recommend this place! read more

I finally caved in and allowed my 17 year old to get his ear pierced! We made an appointment and my disappointment started when I realized that the earring was $40 per ear and $20 per piercing. I was expecting to pay $30-$40 total. So when they tried to sale me normal saline that is $2-3 at drug stores it was a hard NO. I also did not like my driver license being copied. Verify the license and sign a form that you verified ... I don't need my info available like that! SO WHEN THE TECH MARKED HIS EAR SHE ASKED IF I LIKED THE LOCATION, when I replied the move it slightly lower she said "I have been doing this for 5 years" .... WHY ASK FOR MY OPION if you are going to challenge my response? That's when I knew her elevator did not go to the top floor. She moved it twice per my request then stated "that's where it was before" ..... how petty and unprofessional! My son is timid, I AM NOT ... but I can't respond to this goofy lady like I want to because she is about to pierce my son with a needle and he would get mad at me. In the end the place is clean and after she moved the dot his piercing looks nice. read more

I came here several years ago... ok, so it was 9 years ago... to get my nose pierced and my experience was so good I trusted them enough bring my teenager in for her nose piercing.

This tells me that there is consistency in their standard of quality of care. read more
