Sam is an incredibly attentive piercer who thoroughly explains the process and aftercare. I decided to get a piercing on a whim today, and I was nervous since it was on a sensitive area. But the process was relatively quick! It was my first time getting a piercing here, and everything went so smoothly. Highly recommend this place, and I will definitely come back for more piercings. read more

When I made the conscious decision to pierce my nose more than 4 years ago, I thought it would be a piece of cake to change my nose rings once my piercing healed. Here we are 4+ years later and taking out nose jewelry feels like an operation itself. I've been coming to Sam to get my occasional change for as long as I've had my nose pierced and he's always been very professional. Never had an issue with my piercing since coming here. By no means is he gentle but he is efficient and he knows what he's doing. I don't really know other places that will change your piercing for you but this has been my go-to because it's always easy and his prices are reasonable. I will say that the operating hours are tricky because I have stopped by on several occasions during their open hours where they're not opened yet or are on break, but it's not the biggest issue. He's either very busy or things are slow and there's no telling sometimes. read more

It was our first visit here. We came here because my 14 year old daughter wanted to have her nose pierced and she took her time to research the best places. Sam wins by 1000%. I must say I was very pleased with his experience and knowledge, you can tell he is passionate about his work. I ended up piercing mine too thank you so much Sam for an awesome experience. I was scared it was going to hurt but for my surprise it didn't. I will recommended him one hundred percent read more

Awful unprofessional straight up rude. Used to come here since 2009 when I was 16 for illegal piercings. Now that it's been over ten years I'm surprised that he hasn't had lawsuits ... Also I'm licensed to tattoo and Pierce in NYC. The front desk girl pierces people without a license and claims it's not needed. Materials are not always sanitized. This is what you get for a cheap price. Cheap service. Go get pierced in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Other professionals actually follow Association of Professional Piercing (APP) guidelines!! He follows maybe like 25% of the protocol. If you call him out on price change or BS in general he will say you're not a customer after spending money to get ripped off. Also the belly ring they upcharged me for rejected! read more

Thank you Sam!! Me and my mom decided to randomly get piercings and we chose this shop based on all the good reviews. This shop did not disappoint! Sam was very thorough and explained in detail the process for my mom, who was very scared for her helix. We were in and out in 20 minutes. Helix and rook done. We will be back!! read more

Silver Image - Piercing Near Me - Flushing, New York

I came to Sam a few times during my high school and college years. I recently went there and dragged my friend along on Black Friday to get my helix and third lobe pierced. He was running a Black Friday special and it was $29 for any needle piercing. My friend and I were lucky to get there when we did because the line was very long right after. The staff took down my name and number to keep track of the people. For my lobe piercing, I decided to use the piercing gun since there's no cartilage. It was quick and painless. What was originally supposed to be a single helix piercing became a double helix piercing. After all, why not hit two birds with one stone and let all the piercings heal at the same time. Sam was very knowledgeable and knew what he is doing. My friend ended up getting her helix pierced after seeing mine done. As there were too many people on the line to get their piercings done, everyone was directed to look on their Instagram for their aftercare instructions. The instructions were very self explanatory. I am very satisfied with my piercings and will be going back in the future when I want more piercings done. read more

This place is such a gem. I got all 5 of my piercings here for incredibly reasonable prices. Sam and the woman (I'm sorry, I don't know her name) are incredibly knowledgeable and always make sure to provide thorough after-care instructions. I believe there are options for the use of the needle or this disposable "stapler". But I've always opt for the disposable "stapler" tech instead of the needle because it's practically painless. read more

Sam is so nice, you can tell he really cares about his clients. I came here for my first lobe piercings ever, and today I got my triples. Later, I came back to fix a piercing and he was so kind about it. I've been here for almost all my piercings and would highly recommend this place to anyone. read more

The front desk girl has such a hostile energy- no thank you. Their jewelry is decades outdated and the space is too cramped. Sam is nice but his advice for healing the piercings is expired. Will sadly be going to a different shop in the future read more

Love this place, the most convenient and affordable place to get pierced. At first, I was hesitant because it's in the middle of a random little mall in flushing but I tried it out once and now trust sam to pierce whatever. You would think for the price, it's not the safest, but I have had a bunch of ear piercings and my nose pierced here and have never had a problem. Both sam and the woman working with him are helpful and knowledgeable and good people to be around while getting pierced. read more

Decided to get a nose piercing on a whim a few days ago. Owner seemed like a friendly guy. He thoroughly explained how to take care of my new piercing. The whole process was really quick and easy and relatively painless. It came out to be $45 with the jewelry. They even gave me a coupon for my next piercing which was a nice gesture. Would def come back if I were to get another random piercing! read more

As COVID cases rise, there should be an expectation of wearing masks especially while indoors. With two folks including Sam staffed in the back, the client and mask-less child, everyone had their respective mask not covering mouth and nose. At this point, these masks were chin-guards. We came on behalf of my sister, who decided she needed to get a piercing. We figured we'd wait by the front to distance until it was just Sam in the back (the other staff member leaving at this time presumably the end of their shift), and then ask him to put on his mask when working. When she eventually sat in the back and asked him, "Can you put your mask on properly?" I was a little taken aback to hear his response, "It's hard to talk... Make sure yours is on." Not only somewhat disrespectful, but concerning. My sister specifically came to get a helix piercing, and it was clear Sam knew exactly what he was doing. He is very skilled in his work and there is no doubt about that, piercing my sister's with a needle quickly while simultaneously walking my sister through the aftercare. As he talked however (his mask not properly on most of the time even after asking), there was constant fear I had throughout the process watching from the front. I'm not leaving this review to be menacing especially during a time where small businesses are going through trying times. This is just something I wish I knew prior to arriving. With NYC cases rising, we need to do our best to ensure our own safety as well as the ones around us. At the end of the day, we did move forward with the piercing. I hope moving forward it will be a business practice to exercise wearing masks properly, especially since you don't know where folks may be coming from as walk in clients. Stay safe. read more

Sam is the only guy I would go to/recommend to a friend for piercings. I wouldn't settle for anyone less than him despite how bad traffic can get to and back. Him and his assistant, Susanna, are both professional, friendly, and very knowledgable. I got my conch pierced by Sam. He's careful when it comes to disinfecting both the space and the area of the piercing. He's also very informative with after care instructions along with the time of healing. By following his instructions carefully, I never had any real issues with the piercing and it also healed fairly quickly. Pricing of the piercings are fair and what I also really love about his shop is the variety of jewelry options to choose from. My go to would be the 14k gold/white gold option. Not to mention, he also offers a stamp card in which you get a discount for every visit. Give Sam a shot if you haven't yet already. You won't be disappointed and will definitely get your monies worth. read more

Went there to get my daughter re-pierced her ear lobe. It was quick and easy. Friendly staff and helpful. Thank you.

I've been going to Sam for over 6 years now and now i don't trust anyone else to take a needle to my face or body anywhere else. Any time anyone ever asks me about where to get piercings, i always recommend Sam. The staff are so friendly and patient with me when im in the chair and always so comforting. Just know what you want before committing, commit to what you want, research about how to care after your piercings at home, and LISTEN to instructions from the staff. They're quick and get the job done with minimal pain. I've gotten my 2nd & 3rd lobe piercings(both ears), inner conch, septum, 2-3 cartilage piercings, and now a nose piercing done here at Silver Image and i'm satisfied every time. Good luck! read more

Sam is such an amazing piercer. This is my third time going to him and he is always professional and very thorough with his instructions on how to care for your new piercing. I always have a good experience here and he is always willing to help if you have any questions while your piercing is healing. Keep an eye out for his piercing sales! He has them once in a while and announces them on his FB page. read more

Such a great place! I've had 2 piercings done here and both times were good experiences! Sam is very friendly and provides a lot of information on how to care for your new piercing. The area is also very clean and is a safe place to get a piercing. read more

Silver Image - Rook piercing - Piercing Near Me - Flushing, New York

I discovered Sam's place upon a friend's referral, and am glad I did. Sam is very caring about his customer's needs and knows exactly what he is doing. He takes his job very seriously. I have visited him about 4 times in the last year, I got upper lobe, forward helix, and belly button -- my sister got helix done by him and all of our piercings healed quickly. His prices for piercings and jewelry are more than fair. I prefer to use 14K gold/white gold and can get pretty and simple designs for a fraction of the price of many online stores. My last visit to his shop was 1 week ago and he has taken all the necessary precautions for the reopening phase. Sam is the only person I will go to for piercings. read more

Very sweet guy, would recommend anyone and everyone to get their mental breakdown piercing here. But foreal, very professional and fast, as well as cheap. The price includes the initial piercing, but if you would like a hoop, it would be $10-15 dollars more for a silver or gold plated hoop. I got a Daith piercing with a gold plated hoop, so it was $50 dollars for me. Well worth it, will come back when I'm feeling impulsive again. read more

Honestly, I don't know. My friends always talked about the piercings they got from sam and I gave in to see the hype. My first piercing from him was a helix around november 2019. Everything was fine, I listened to his instructions and my helix had no issues. I don't remember how long he said it would take to heal, but I remember it being past the timeframe he told me so I assumed that it was healed. However, because of Covid, I could not go out to get it changed out. So I was stuck with the same bar I was pierced with for a very long time until recently in august I came with my two friends. He took a look at my helix and told me it shifted so badly... I didn't even know this was a thing because I was NOT informed anything about cartilage piercings migrating AT ALL. All I was told was how to take care of it, but I was never told what could happen. I did my own research and saw that many people suggested to downsize it. Like I said, I couldn't go out because of Covid but it would've been VERY helpful if I was informed about this in the first place. And I wasn't. Another thing was my friend was thinking about getting their navel pierced but Sam had them STAND up to get it pierced. This made my friend really nervous and it made me questioned his procedure. They decided to not get it. I've actually looked it up whether it's common or not to get a navel done pierced while standing but it seems rare to me. I don't know the reason behind getting it done while standing but regardless, my friend did not feel comfortable and I wanted them to feel safe. Don't get me wrong, sam is not a bad piercer. I've seen the piercings hes given my friends and they looked beautiful. But personally, I don't think I would go back. I really wished I was informed of more things instead of just being told what to do. read more

Sam was amazing. I got my first ever pair of piercings on my ear lobes and Sam and his assistant were patient and helpful. Bottom line: Sam is the man! read more

Always a good experience at Sam's store. Have gotten a lot of my piercings done here and it has always been a easygoing and friendly experience. Very professional guy. read more

Sam was super helpful and informative about the process including after care and the piercing process was super quick and near painless. I got two cartilage done on one ear and the whole process was super easy. Would definitely come here again for more piercings in the future! read more

The only place I've gotten my piercings! Sam is so iconic, professional, and tentative. His services are always a joy and the actual procedures are virtually pain less! Just got my septum piercing today after been very skeptical for years. I have a smaller size nose and I never liked the look of a bulky hoop piercing, but both Sam and lady in the front are extremely helpful in navigating what piercing and jewelry best suits you! I am also someone who fears pain, but this piercing and all the ones I've gotten previously I felt no pain, just a quick pinch and you're done. Pricing is great as well always call ahead to get a quote, or DM on Instagram. Overall I love Silver Image, and will be back for any other impulsive decisions! PS the space is always sterile, and hygiene is top notch! read more

Silver Image - Septum Piercing! Smaller hoop, beautiful fit! And painless‍ - Piercing Near Me - Flushing, New York

This place is AMAZING; although the booth may look a little seedy I can affirm this is one of the BEST places you could get your piercings done. Over the year I have gotten my years pierced about 3 separate occasions at different location and this place is honestly the BEST! Sam is AMAZING. Great personality and a awesome guy to keep the impending pain off your mind! ADVICE; enter the first BUSY MALL you see! There should be another piercing place near the front, DO NOT BE MISTAKEN THIS IS NOT SAM'S shop! When I was waiting/looking for Sam this guy tried multiple times to trick us! DO NOT BE TRICKED! Sam's shop is towards the center of the mall! Sam gives great after care advice and for sure knows what he's doing; of course it'll be considered pricey compared to a free piercing place like Claire's BUT! TOTALLY WORTH IT! YOU DO NOT WANT AN INFECTION UWU! read more

I strongly advise calling before you go there, The 1st time I went there after talking to the owner who said he would be there soon but the shop was still closed & he said he'll be there at 3 instead of 12. I couldn't wait as I had to go to work. The 2nd time I called to make sure the store was open & it was. I got my 2nd lobe piercing done for the 2nd time (I got it 10 years ago for the 1st time but closed it a few months later). It was super cheap, each piercing is only $5 ( for earlobe gun piercings only, cartilage needle piercings are $25), so I paid $10 for both earlobe piercings. I told him to make sure it was even on both ears & it was. It stung a lot for about 3-5mins but at least it wasn't painful. read more

Best piercing site I've been to so far after two visits from other piercing shops. Even though the shop is small and it's location has you second guessing, Sam demonstrates professional expertise (better than the huge and far more expensive shops I've been to), cleanliness with jewelry and the piercing process, and a good exploratory after-care process. It's also a lot more affordable. Overall this is a place that I positively recommend. read more

Someone told me about this place and of Sams amazing personality, so I had to come here. The price is literally amazing. I only paid $15 for this cartilage piercing. It's been healing so well and I was actually scared to get a cartilage before I did this one because a lot of people told me that it would not heal easily, but for some reason I don't know if Sams hands are magic, but my cartilage is completely healed after one month and I don't even clean it every day. I will definitely only be coming back to Sam for all my piercings from now on. read more

I was caught in between Silver Image and a piercing-specific studio for my first cartilage piercings, but I decided to go with this place because if you grew up in Queens, chances are you knew somebody who got pierced here. I'm glad I went with Sam! He was very thorough in explaining the aftercare instructions and gave my very professional results. Don't let the look and feel of the shop put you off! Sam knows what he is doing for sure~ read more

Clean place , Sam and his worker is really nice and informative , I got 3 piercings here and will be returning for more.

I finally got my cartilage piercing! After months of debating and being scared about the pain, I walked in here and did it!! Sam is a great piercer. He was patient and told me the aftercare, and even calmed my nerves about the pain tolerance. I was nervous about the pain and Sam and the girl behind the counter were both friendly. It was a quick and painless procedure. I highly recommend him for any piercings whatsoever!! read more

I came here twice in a month because my baby's ear had to get repierced after losing one side after a few weeks. First time I came I was in and out because it wasn't busy (Saturday near closing hour) but the second time I had to wait a while because I came during the middle of the day on a Saturday and it was busy. It's understandable -- first come first serve. They also issued a cute piercing certificate afterwards for my baby. read more

I messaged them on Yelp a couple of days ago asking for a quote on a nose piercing. It's 40$ including the piercing. I walked in on a Friday around 3:30pm and was quickly able to get my piercing done. There were 2 people ahead of me but the piercer is quick and managed to get me out of the shop before 4pm. He was quick and carefully instructed me with aftercare instructions and general information I should know about my nose piercing. Thank you so much for the nose piercing! read more

Sam was very patient with me and answered all my questions. I decided to do a piercing on my third lobe and get a industrial. I was really nervous about the placement and the pain but Sam did a amazing job and was quick and efficient. It was not nearly as bad as I thought and I trust him completely to do all my piercings in the future. My friend also got his first class earlobe piercing and he really likes them. He gave me aftercare info before proceeding with the industrial and even responded really fast when I messaged him the day after. I plan on taking my other friend here soon! Thank you so much Sam! read more

Silver Image - Rook, Orbital Piercings - Piercing Near Me - Flushing, New York

Responding to store owner's review - I'm a little taken aback at being called fake. I do have the receipts for my purchase and piercings to prove it, if need be. I like this place overall. If I need to clarify, it's that I don't know I'd want to do something like a nipple or tongue piercing here only due to my own comfort levels with the space. Some people are a little more concerned with how a space looks and how that affects the cleanliness. This could be the cleanest piercing shop on the planet. It's definitely got some of the best deals. I just personally wouldn't do it. YMMV. read more
