I came on a Friday afternoon as a walk-in (around1:30). I was seen by Jason immediately who spent about 20 minutes with a friend and I talking through our options. He was very informative and even provided feedback on best looks for certain types of piercings / jewelry, given the locations. I was very happy with the feedback and even changed the piercing I had in mind while discussing. I'm very happy with my results! The piercing itself took less than 5 minutes. Jason got everything sterilized, had me confirm the location, and then we were done! It was barely a prick of heat by the time the piercing was in. I'll be back! Parking is available around the side and back of the building. The jewelry is very nice quality with assortments of hypoallergenic metals to choose from. read more

Phenomenal experience. I showed up shortly after they opened and Jason was friendly and immediately provided a consultation. After providing my information and signing all consent forms he was able to pierce my naval within 5 minutes. The shop is clean, Jason was great, and I'm extremely happy with my piercing! This place has five stars for a reason. read more

Professional, experienced and talented group of people that seem to love what they do. They explained each step and any questions. Love my piercings. Will return again. Highly recommend to all of our family and friends read more

Omgeee I can't remember the last time I left a 5 star review. This place exceeded all my expectations! It's immaculate. So clean and organized. Service? I called before I came, I had random questions and their automated answering machine is what I received. Not a real person picking up the phone cause they are busy attending to their in house customers (which I understand and don't mind) BUT I do appreciated that the automated answering machine literally answered all the questions I had and the questions I didn't even think of before I asked it. A+++ I arrived with my friends and we all got different piercings (forward helix, dath and a piercing reopening + a conch jewelry refresh. We dropped around $1300-$1400 so not a small transaction in any means. Travis was our tech and he was the best tech I had ever received! I've received a lot of piercings in my past (including a double nipple piercing) and Travis not only gave his expert advise on what size of jewelry would look good in our piercings but also did not make me feel pressure to buy what cost more or what didn't look good. Ahhhmazing Travis thanks again for the great experience + aftercare instructions. My friends and I were saying how spoiled we were with Travis and the staff's awesome service that no one else we'd visit from here on out will compare. read more

PINEAPPLE IS EVERYTHING AND MORE! Heard rumors he was the best and after consulting with people decided to book a child lobe consult for my 8 year old daughter. She doesn't do well with shots but REALLY wanted to get her ears pierced. We did the virtual consult with Pineapple and a few other kids and finally my daughter said "LETS DO THIS". Found out which days Pineapple was working over email and he gave some tips and tricks to calm her nerves. We talked at home and made the drive to East Austin to see Pineapple for a lobe piercing. First and foremost, Pineapple talked to my daughter like she was a human not a kid and my daughter responded really well to that. She had no nerves and loved picking out her lobe "jewelry". He talked her through every step of the process and my daughter was ready and comfortable giving her consent! Everything was seamless and my daughter said it was nearly painless. A day later my daughter said she's so excited she got them done and THEY LOOK FANTASTIC! even and not like my messed up ears done at Claire's decades ago. Thank you Pineapple for everything! You have a stellar process and we will recommend all of our friends to yall! read more

I was told by two other piercers that my anatomy was too small for a septum. BUT I really wanted one! Finding a free hand piercer is what I was told to do, and Pineapple came highly recommended. He did NOT disappoint. He communicated through email with me for several days and patiently answered all my questions. When I came in he was so professional and sterile. I've got plenty of piercings and tattoos and found this experience to be next level. I won't anywhere else. Thanks so much, Pineapple! read more

I cannot express my gratitude enough for this piercing parlors employees, Mercedes and Kane (spellcheck?). Before coming in, I called twice. Once to confirm I could come in and with a few questions. I believe it was Kane that answered and they were so patient, kind, and welcoming. When they said "we hope you'll come in", I took it as my sign that I must get this Helix piercing! The establishment takes safety precautions very seriously. You don't have to wear a mask, but they're sure to wear them, along with gloves, plastic wrap, etc. Comparing to where my sisters went, this was already a huge step above. They were also very patient in answering my many pricing questions. The jewelry is a bit out of my budget, but the quality and service can't be beat. I could've decided on probably 15 different studs but chose the hammer disc to stay within budget. All in, my cost was $202 with the 20% tip included. Piercing and aftercare for the Helix starts at $76. I will say that the care and safety precautions make the price worthwhile. So, this is my second time piercing my cartilage. The first time was at Claire's and it got infected pretty badly. I got my other ear pierced this time and WOW! Immediately a difference. The education on the piercing and the professionalism from Mercedes is above par. Absolutely amazing. I wish I got more pierced, honestly. I haven't felt any pain whatsoever from the piercing and the piercing itself was so easy and almost painless, honestly. I recommend coming here again and again. I've also been very sure to NOT TOUCH IT! Key information! Now go get pierced. Quick backstory - went on a sister trip to Austin and we were trying to find something we could all do to commemorate the trip. My sisters got their ears pierced but I couldn't fit into the appt or really make up my mind. When they flew out the next morning, I regretted not being a part and wanted to go myself and surprise them with a picture when they landed. It worked out perfectly! read more

Highly recommend this place for all piercings needs. Very professional and clean establishment. The staff is very friendly, informative and informative (Shoutout to Travis who took care of us). read more

I wish I'd known about this piercing salon before getting my original piercings elsewhere! I needed to replace my metal jewelry with plastic for a medical scan, and Travis went above and beyond. He was incredibly kind and professional--explaining everything, fitting the plastic pieces perfectly, and making sure I was comfortable. When I came back the next day to swap back to metal, he didn't just reinstall the jewelry--he adjusted and upgraded it so it actually fit better than before. He even pointed out helpful tips for future care and sizing. If you ever need new body jewelry or are thinking about a piercing, ask for Travis. He's polite, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his craft. This salon is lucky to have him, and I'll definitely return for any future piercings. read more

I can't recommend this place enough! Amazing first time experience. Right when you walk in you're greeted, very friendly staff. The whole place is very clean and has a cool vibe. My piercer Jason was awesome! He was friendly, very informative, and patient. I will definitely be back in the future. read more

Shaman Modifications Body Piercing Studio - Nose piercing - Piercing Near Me - Austin, Texas

By far the best piercing experience I have ever had. Jason was my piercer, and he answered all my questions and easily walked me through the next year in keeping a healthy piercing. I was a walk-in on a Sunday afternoon around 2:30pm and waited only a few minutes. They were so thorough and listened to what I was looking for and made the best recommendations. I am extremely happy with my nose piercing and would 110% recommend to anyone. read more

I came here after hearing good things about the place from my friends and neighbors and was a little nervous going into it (was getting my earlobes done, never had a piercing before), but Jason walked me through everything and was very helpful and professional. Everything was extremely neat and clean. He has been piercing as long as I have been alive, and that experience really shows. The process was easy, and I am really happy with the results. Plus, he was really nice, the kind of person you know you can trust. Overall, I think he was really good and professional, the results were amazing, they had available a good selection of high-quality jewelry (they do not do outside jewelry, which I think is good), and the skill and cleanliness standards were very good, even impressing my mom, who has been a nurse for over 25 years doing injections and has all the experience that with sterile procedure that comes with it. She said he was very clean and very thorough. read more

The only place I'll get pierced in Austin (or maybe anywhere). They are extremely clean, professional, and friendly. All the piercers know their stuff and make sure you are well informed too because you poke a hole in your body. They really go above and beyond to equip you with how to care for your piercing best and avoid infection. They also have an awesome inventory of jewelry and it's where all of mine is from. I got my nose pierced last weekend by Jason and he was awesome. Super patient, super kind, and he did a super job. Safe and super spot to get pierced! read more

I drove from San Antonio totally based on their reviews and it did not disappoint! They were outstanding from start to finish. 1. Greeted by a kind, very friendly, masked man at the counter. (Everyone wears a mask - think Covid 19 mask, not Nacho Libre) 2. Attention to cleanliness is second to none. Ex: they treat every single piercing you have as a new one no matter how long you've had it. So, don't touch your piercings and if you do, you'll be presented with a squirt of hand sanitizer. 3. While you cannot try anything on, they will use extremely long tweezers to hold them up to where you'd like it placed. (Assuming this doesn't involve man berries or lady bits then I'm guessing that'll happen behind a door, not at the counter) 4. Travis was my piercer. I had 2 new piercings and he replaced a 3rd one for me. He was amazing. Very patient and answered all my questions (with zero judgement I may add!). He made very reasonable suggestions for placement and why he thought one place was better than another. I do not want someone to agree with me just because I hold the cash. I appreciated that he disagreed with where and what I thought I wanted and explained the why behind it in a very professional manner. When asking about future piercings he made sure to place the new piercings so I would be properly set up for the next round. Last but not least...Cost: - 2 new piercings = $90 - 3 studs (he changed out a diff one I had, so they'd all match) = $88 - 3 thread-less posts (YES you have to pay for the "back" of the stud they are all diff lengths. This isn't Claire's - everything is semi-customized for you) = $36 Grand total of $215. Plus I added tip, which was was totally optional, but well deserved. For the service I received, the attentions to detail and Travis' expertise, this was beyond reasonable! I'm already planning my next trip. read more

Clean and professional. My experience was one to remember. Apparently my 2 gauge septum was still open from back in 1998! It fell out in the retaining stage the same year and I gave up but my piercing artist had a hunch it was still open.It was!! Could not believe it I was like wow. Jewelry is very nice here but definitely expensive.However it has stood the test of time and it's been a great piece. My experience was excellent read more

I did a bunch of research before expanding my ear piercings and could not have found a better place. I saw Jade up north for three ear piercings (upper helix on both ears and tragus) and she is the best. So helpful and understanding, answered soooo many questions was patient while I picked out my jewelry and is a master at her craft. My three piercings took no time and are exactly what I wanted. I also went to the east location to look at jewelry later and Travis was extremely helpful with pricing, ideas and making sure I get exactly what I want. Will definitely be back! I already have my next two piercings picked out. read more

I got my helix piercing on a Sunday by Jade, she was very professional throughout and gave me some suggestions regarding all the aftercare.

After doing much research for my teenage daughter I came across this hidden gem. This place of business is not only welcoming but also very sterile. We arrived around 3:00 on a Tuesday during Spring Break. I had already known it was a first come and no appointment due to the info on Yelp and I also called. The business does ask you to mask up, which we had no issue doing. There were 3 clients ahead of us so we patiently waited as there was only on piercer working. We drove an hour so we didn't mind. Frank prepared us and acknowledge us upon entering the business. He also prepared us with the quick online information link using the QR code. It was my daughters turn after waiting roughly 20 minutes. Frank examined her naval to be sure it was going to able to be pierced. To say Frank was very thorough is an understatement. I loved that he was patient with my teenager as she was a bit nervous and had to get her breathing under control. He talked her through the entire process and made sure she wanted to go through with it 3 times. Frank this meant so much to me as a parent. You didn't make her feel uncomfortable what so ever. My teenager rated the pain a 4 out of 10 and loves her piercing. I paid and gave him a tip. Towards the end of paying my daughter stated she was feeling dizzy and he promptly went into action by asking her to have a seat and provided her with a candy and the ladies working gave her water. OH MY GOODNESS this was beyond customer service. 10/10 in my books. The drive, the short wait, the cost of piercing, and the customer service was worth every cent! Do yourself a favor and check this place out for your next body modification ... you won't be disappointed! read more

I have been here three now; both have been great experiences. The first time was when my nose piercing got bent up when I wiped sweat off my face with my handwraps and it got caught on my nose piercing. The second was when I needed to get a retainer for my piercing due to have an MRI. The third time was to get new jewelry. Overall, excellent customer service and helpful employees who work here. I also can recommend the north location too. read more

Had a wonderful piercing experience with Jade today! Can't wait to come back for more piercings.

Very professional and clean. Made my daughter feel very comfortable and explained everything thoroughly. Would go here again.

Decided to go here for my piercings because of all the great reviews and so glad I did! Travis was awesome, he took his time and made sure I was comfy the whole process and I could tell he cares! Facility is clean and organized and the staff is professional and they know their stuff! They also have an amazing selection of jewelry! Awesome business and awesome people! Worth every penny!!!! read more

So far I am extremely pleased with how well all my daughters questions were answered prior to her nose piercing. She picked a very dainty ring and was given completely different directions than she previous record from another shop that did her last piercing which ended up with a keloid scar. She is only on day two and it already looks better than a month out after the last piercing! She said it's sore but nothing like previously. I saw her pics of getting it done and I love that the pierced wore what looked like a gas mask and all the steps taken to prevent covid in their studio. We highly recommend this shop! read more

i came and had my first piercing done here this saturday on my navel and i could not have had a better experience!! everyone was SO kind and helpful and caring.

I initially came for an earring change and ended up getting an additional piercing. They are practicing social distancing and cleanliness. If the store is too packed they will have you text them when your outside and what service you want. Once they are ready for you, you get another text and come in. As soon as you walk in they ask you to wash your hands and then attend to your needs. Chris helped me out the two times I came and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. He was able to show me different rings and provided me with great suggestions and feedback on possible piercings. All their jewelry is very high end and beautiful. They have a lot of options and they all range in different prices. Once the piercing is ready to commence they had me watch a video on what to do and how to keep it clean. Everything they do they make sure to provide care and attention to their customers. The only sad part is they don't have one of these shops in Miami. :( read more

I got my first tattoo from Shaman Mods in North Austin. My artist was Jonathan Fiore. He was exceptionally professional and did an outstanding job. I'm probably good with only one tattoo, but if I ever get another one, I will use Shaman Mods and request Jonathan Fiore. #JonathanFiore https://www.jpftattoo.com/ read more

Shaman Modifications Body Piercing Studio - Piercing Near Me - Austin, Texas

Everything is great, but there should be more than $$ on this page for the price!! Maybe change that to $$$$? I just think that should be upfront, because I was in sticker shock! I went in to have some old holes reopened, just basic lobes. I needed a pair of earrings. Each earring was approximately $235 (and I needed 2). The cost of the work is $45. So, in total, with tip, I spent almost $600. That has rattled me a bit! The piercers are great, as is the location, the selection, but woah! I have never spent that on jewelry. I feel like I should have a diamond for that! I've let all my holes close, but I've had at least a dozen piercings in my life, and a few I've reopened once or twice, and this is above and beyond any amount I have ever spent by more than 10 times! Ok, now that that is out of the way - everything else is great! Great atmosphere, knowledgable and friendly piercers, great selection. I love that the staff is at least still masked, that is awesome in 2022. Everything is great, except I wish I could bring my own jewelry when I come back. read more

The price and customer service is worth it. I understand many question why it's expensive, but you are paying for the quality of the equipment, the jewelry, and the staff. They are knowledgeable for real! I love that they consult you BEFORE paying and service. I think that is very important. You don't want to get a piercing on a whim and regret it. The jewelry is real. Not gold plate, so you are paying for that too. So check them out, they are really nice. Frank is a doll! read more

The only place I go for my piercings. They are beyond professional, knowledgeable and helpful! They have beautiful high quality jewelry that is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for! I have been to all of their locations, and have never been disappointed. My 7 year old daughter even had her ears pierced at one of their locations with Cody and he was EXTREMELY patient and just overall great with her throughout the whole process. Highly recommend. read more

Shaman Modifications Body Piercing Studio - Beautiful new jewelry for my healer conch and forward helix! - Piercing Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been here twice for a nose ring change while I appreciate them looking before they change out, the problem is the same lady that has helped me both times practically yells loud enough for everyone in the shop to hear that my nose is swollen and she can not do it. While my piercing is a little under a year so I get it's still pretty fresh. I just don't like the rude condescending tone. It's fine if it's not ready to be changed, but do not have your volume so loud that everyone else is overhearing OUR conversation. It's very unprofessional to speak to clients in such a manner. I do not recommend. read more

Mercedes was very nice and very professional. Very clean and safe facilities. Thanks!

I've wanted a triangle piercing since the first time I learned about it almost 7 years ago. I initially wanted to go to Elayne Angel, but Hurricane Katrina killed those plans and going to Mexico for a piercing just wasn't going to happen (which was a GOOD thing, because there is no frickin' way I would have been okay with travel in the days after this piercing because it was way too intense). I asked around in Austin for a couple years and Pineapple's name is the one that consistently came up, so when I finally got the courage to do it I called him up and made an appointment for a consultation. After years of research I was pretty familiar with this particular piercing, but Pineapple did a great job of explaining what he was looking for during the consult, gave me a very good idea of what to expect during the piercing itself (I imagine he's had his head slammed in between more than one pair of knees during this one!), as well as aftercare. He was incredibly professional throughout the process, and did a great job of calming my nerves- I've had my share of piercings but never a genital piercing so I was of course nervous and it's always awkward to open your naughty bits to a stranger. Obligatory shop info: It wasn't too hard to find, clean, well lit, everybody inside was friendly, prices are more than reasonable, jewelry selection is fantastic. read more
