they take cleanliness super seriously, the staff is super nice and professional, I was able to get great guidance of what piercing type I wanted, and there were tons of earring options read more

Madison is very kind, informative, and professional! Whenever I have an appointment, I always feel like I'm in good hands :))

High level customer service, personable & professional - the owner was very knowledgeable and helpful. It was also a fraction of the price to get my daith done here than other piercers who overcharge like crazy. Support your small business owners - you will $ave and get a much more quality experience!! read more

Took my 5 year old here after hearing for weeks she wanted her ears pierced. Picked this place because of Madison's training and sterilization procedures. It was such a great experience. Madison was so precise in selecting the spot for the earrings and she was patient with my daughter when she got a little scared after the first piercing. The studio is really cute with pink decorations. What a wonderful place! read more

I was fed up with my nose screw which was too long and kept stabbing me, so I looked for a local piercing place where I could have it adjusted or get a new one (I had my nose pierced in Seattle). Most places were downtown but Rubi's was nearby in Watertown. I went to the very accessible and adorably designed shop and met Madison, who is super nice and incredibly helpful. I had never heard of flat-back piercings but she explained how they worked and showed me her options for jewelry. I picked one and she put it in my nose quickly and painlessly. She also put in a couple tiny hoop earrings that I am too fumble-fingered to put in myself without getting frustrated and resorting to throwing things My whole experience at Rubi's was overwhelmingly positive, and I resolved to go to Madison for all my future piercing-related needs. Plus, I LOVE the flat-back piercing! It's so much more comfortable than the nose screw; I generally don't feel it at all. I wish it had been an option when I got my nose pierced. I learned about why it may not have been from Madison (has to do with the company's patent which recently expired) when I asked her for help buying alternate jewelry for my flat-back setup. I was confused by conflicting terminology on various sites and not sure about measurements asked for, so I asked Madison what she thought about a few listings and also some questions about threadless ends, posts, gauge, length, etc. She replied right away with an extensive amount of info and recommendations; I now feel confident to buy jewelry that I can bring to Madison to insert while I remain calm and relaxed, no need to throw anything. Thanks Madison! read more

Both my girls got their ears pierced by Madison. She was very patient, and explained what was happening every step of the way. There were several check ins to make sure my girls were comfortable and happy with where the piercings would be. Madison showed them how to clean their ears, and my girls practiced cleaning on model ears. We all had a very positive experience, and my girls got to pick a prize and a lollipop at the end. read more

Talked me through the process and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way! Keith greeted me and Madison did the piercings. Got a double helix and Madison made sure I liked the placement before getting started and did great at keeping me calm throughout. Would suggest this place to anyone! read more

Great experience. Very professional and knowledgable. Sarah was fantastic calming my nervous teen's nerves. Easy to book with close free parking and transparent pricing. Love the fun chill atmosphere--highly recommend! read more

I am fully endorsing Rubi's Piercing! My daughter (and by extension me) had a great experience here. Madison was super sweet and chill. She was extremely patient with my daughter and made her feel very comfortable. Madison was not only knowledgeable but thorough as she walked me through her sterilization process all the while answering my daughter's (and my) questions. Go see Madison! End the ear gun trauma! read more

Rubi's Piercing - Piercing Near Me - Watertown, Massachusetts

This is going to be long :) The shop is inside what it looks like a hair salon only to discover it's not! Pristine clean and cute little place with a sweet lovely vibe! My 15 year old wanted her 2nd set of lobes pierced and I wanted a helix one. Keith was our guy! Super calm, patient, friendly and knowledgeable! He walked us through the whole process, gave us suggestions, made sure we were prepared and happy with the placements before going ahead and did an outstanding job! I got to watch him do it to my daughter and couldn't believe how he does it without a gun! Super well done! We are both extremely happy with the results and it was not very painful! They have nice earrings to choose from which of course are not included in the piercing price. It ended up being a bit pricey ( mea culpa for choosing an expensive model myself :) but totally worth it for a service that's first class! We will be back! read more

Rubi's piercing is an amazing place to go for a piercing!! I went on the day they opened (today) and got my lobes done. Madison, the piercer, is professional, fun to talk to and loves pink! Watertowns first piercing studio and it's so lucky it's Rubis. LGBTQ friendly! See the photos of my piercings below! I choose miss matched jewelry so much fun! read more

Amazing experience with Madison! I was pretty nervous as I only had my ears pierced as a kid. She was super helpful and patient helping plan my next piercings. We went with a second ear lobe and one flat helix. It was shockingly not very painful! I absolutely love the placement. She is clearly skilled and knows what she is doing. I will be back for more! read more

My 5yo wanted her ears pierced. She was scared and our pierced was awesome. She talked her through what works happen, made sure she knew she could stop at anytime. Have her a choice of items (she chose a crown) and she made it my daughters crown of bravery. It was perfect. She was patient and understanding. Thank you! read more

Madison did a great job when I was there in July for ear piercings! Plus she is very sweet. read more

Rubi's Piercing - Piercing Near Me - Watertown, Massachusetts

I can't rave about Rubi's enough. I've been to many piercing parlors across a few states and this was hands down my most favorite experience. Madison is knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and incredibly helpful. She took me in as a walk-in and was patient as I worked through the few items I needed to address. The jewelry options were cute and I was able to walk away with three replacement pieces that required updating. I fully intend on returning to Rubi's to fulfill all my piercing plans. read more

Madison was very professional. She explained all the possible consequences, advised how it would look good, disinfected everything before the procedure. The piercing was inserted very quickly and painlessly. Very satisfied with the result. I would definitely recommend her to anyone considering getting a piercing. The place was super clean and nice. read more

Had a great experience with Madison! I got my snake bite piercings here and was super nervous but Madison was so patient and helped me feel comfortable during my time there. She helped me with the placement of them and walked me through the steps of what was going to happen, answering any questions and concerns I had. Her studio is also really cute and she even had stress balls for people to use! Definitely recommend coming here! I love my snakebites and will be coming back again for more piercings :) read more

Rubi's Piercing - Daith Piercing - Piercing Near Me - Watertown, Massachusetts

Such a fantastic experience! I got a double helix (my first cartilage piercing), and Madison was very kind and made a point of explaining everything along the way and getting my consent. Her studio is super cute and very clean. Highly recommend! read more

Madison is by far the most knowledgeable about piercings. This was my teen's third attempt at ear piercing due to issues with infection and keloids the first two times (not done by Madison). She listened to our concerns and what had happened previously and made suggestions on the best course of aftercare to succeed. The cleanliness of the shop is wonderful and her equipment and sterilization methods are state of the art. The third time was indeed a charm, and I wholeheartedly credit Madison with the successful piercing. read more

This is a great place for anyone, first timers, piercing afiscionados, everyone. The attention to detail is great and the profesionalism shows. read more

Madison was outstanding. She made us feel welcome, was very professional, courteous and friendly. She knew exactly what she was doing. Placement was perfect on each ear. She outlined all the instructions for proper aftercare. Madison is the person to go to if you want your piercing done right. She's an expert at this! Overall a great experience read more

Our 5 year old has been wanting her ears p to match her older sisters and we got a recommendation to go to Rubies! When we arrived the suite was clean and everything was put together nicely, she made sure to clean and sterilize all equipment and worth gloves. Madison was beyond patient and made sure our little one was ready on her own terms. I love that she got her consent because as a mom of 3 girls that's so IMPORTANT!! Definitely worth the drive we took. read more

Had a wonderful experience there. My daughter got her second set of ear piercings, nothing but good things to say. Professional and caring.

Went here for a quick jewelry change. My anti tragus jewelry fell out so I went to her to get a new curved barbell. It was quick and easy, and Madison was very kind. Will be going here again for all my piercing needs! read more

Can't say enough great things about Rubi's Piercing! We took our daughter to get her ears pierced a few weeks ago and Madison was amazing. The studio is clean and so cute! I picked this studio because Madison details all of the steps she takes to make this a safe and overall great experience (and asks for consent from anyone getting a piercing, which we were happy to see!!). From walking us through every sterilization process to making my daughter feel brave and excited, we had an awesome experience. If you or your child need a piercing, definitely go to Rubi's Piercing! read more

Thank you so much! The studio was very cute and clean. Would definitely return for more piercings in the future!

Madison is the best! We found Rubi's Piercing after I completely screwed up changing my nine-year-old's piercing for the first time. She was super kind, very patient, and went the extra mile in explaining what to do the next time and helping us through the process. She is great with kids! read more

Amazing experience!! Extremely sanitary and Madison was so nice and knowledgeable. I got my septum pierced and was nervous but it was quick, calm, and almost painless. Will definitely be going back for any future piercing endeavors :) read more

I had a fantastic experience at Rubi's. She was very knowledgeable and generous! I was worried about an existing piercing I had and needed a professional opinion. She was more than informative on what I needed and what was going on. She further assessed me and corrected what was wrong with my piercing and offered her service for no charge. I insisted on paying something for her service and am more than happy to recommend her to anyone needing a piercing! Only going to her from now on! read more

This is such a great place! I had a nose piercing done at Rubi's and it was wonderful. It's adorable, super clean, and everything was carefully and thoughtfully explained. Free parking, a great selection of jewelry to choose from. I highly recommend if you are considering a new piercing! read more

Madison was so accommodating. I was on the fence about getting my piercing before hand, but I was sold after I called Madison and she sent me pictures of the jewelry options she had. I don't know if I've had a piercer be so kind through the whole process. At one point I had to cancel because of travel delays on my end and she was very understanding. When I finally arrived the salon space was really pleasant to be in; she was really easy to talk to and answered every question I had. She was also super helpful and flexible with the jewelry colors. I didn't quite like my color the first time around so she customized a whole other piece for me. HIGHLY recommend Rubi's Piercing. read more

So glad I found Rubi's! Madison was fantastic, and while what we were doing wasn't complicated (2nd ear piercing for my 15 year old) Madison took it very seriously, and took a ton of time to make sure that the jewelry was right, the placement was right and we were happy- a true artist! The salon was super cute and super clean/safe- could not recommend Rubi's and Madison any higher- would give her 10 stars if I could! read more

How did it take me so long to find this hidden gem? Took my 9-year old daughter to get her ears pierced and it was such a wonderful experience! This little piercing studio is tucked away in My Salon Suites in Watertown. Our piercer, Madison, was amazing with my daughter, carefully explaining every step of the process to her, and as well as all the after care on a fake ear, then had my daughter show her to make sure she understood. The studio is a private 1 chair studio, so it was quiet, perfect for the kids that might have anxieties triggered by noise or other distractions. To wrap up the whole experience, Madison offers a little gift to her junior customers to make the day a little extra special. To join the fun, I got my ears pierced too, adding to my total of 15 ear piercings (so my ears have really been "around the block" ). I couldn't imagine bringing my daughter anywhere else and am so happy we ended up at Rubi's. read more

So happy with my nose piercing!! Rubi's has such a cute and welcoming environment unlike most piercing studios. Highly recommend, Madison was super professional and made the experience so nice! read more
