Absolutely one of the best piercers out there. I've gotten almost all my piercings from him and every experience has been clean, professional, and great. Recently my tragus piercing that I got a month ago fell out. I went back to him and not only did he fix the piercing (unlike the other places I went to), but he also didn't charge me. He genuinely cares about his customers and I couldn't recommend him enough!! read more

This place is so underrated! Best piercing experience ever! Sam is super nice and is an artist at piercing. I got my belly button and my left nipple for a total of 65 dollars which is a complete bargain. He gave me a run down on what and what not to do when it came to taking care of my piercing. I dont even live in NY but he even offered to stay in touch to make sure they were properly healing! Definitely making him my only piercing guy. The place is really small but hopefully one day he gets a bigger spot but i love it! read more

The needle is overpriced, recommend getting it at a tattoo place which cost less. The earring fell off a few days after I got the piercing, not sure if it's because they didn't twist it all the way. I did not touch the piercing besides with q-tip to disinfect. The ointment they gave was a few months expired. read more

Sam is amazing! My piercing was quick, painless and is healing perfectly. Would definitely recommend!

Love it! I was crazy trying to find a place for my baby's ear piercing. It was done a little too late due to COVID closures. Until finally decided to do it at 11months old. Everyone was very professional. my baby just cried because she was surrounded by strangers and not because of pain. I truly recommend this place for baby ear piercing and also was at a very reasonable price. read more

I strongly recommend Sam. I felt so nervous and this was my first time get ear piercing. Sam knows how to make me feel relax and did very well job. Not painful at all!!! Thanks Sam. Jessica. read more

This place gets the job done. You wanted a piercing and you can get them here at a competitive price without being the hassle of constantly being upsold. I came here on a Saturday night, around 8 minutes before they were supposed to close (I got lost and I never knew there were TWO busy malls until I called and the lady answering the phone told me.. so I spent 15 minutes circling the wrong Busy Mall thinking this place was closed... IT IS NOT!) and both Sam and the lady were very nice and patient in explaining to me the costs and the types of jewelry available. Even though they were about to close, Sam was willing to give help me with my two earlobe piercings and cartilage that I was looking for that day. I did not feel rushed or pressured at all. The booth is relatively small and I had absolutely no privacy at all getting the two earlobes and cartilage, not that it really mattered since the mall/booth was empty at the time but I might've felt a little shy had there been more people present. Sam started by dotting my ears to guide where my piercings should be and he allowed me to check and adjust the guides as needed. I got all three of my piercings done by gun and they were considerably less painful (or even painless) than I could've imagined. Sam finished off this walk-in with some quick aftercare procedures and let me know that I am welcome to come/call anytime should a problem arise! I highly recommend this shop for anyone looking for a piercing. read more

First of all I've been a loyal client of sams for the past 8 years now. I have had a total of 21 piercings in my life, a total of 6 from sam, and can vouch that he is very clean organized and sanitary. I've always appreciated his friendliness and when i wasnt too sure about something he was always open to educate me as long as the shop wasnt packed like it tends to get sometime. the shop is very small being that it's in a booth in "Busy mall" but there's room for all kinds of merch, varying from fine jewelery, body jewelery, dogtags, flasks, pendants, belt buckles and all kinds of stuff! I've referred friends here too many times as well and we always have a good time looking around and buying stuff! Sams apprentices i've met over the years have always been polite and well trained. The best thing about this shop that keeps me coming back is the competitive prices for piercings and body jewelery. Also for returning customers who like to get pierced, Sam offers a business card with discounts based on the number of piercings you get. Also sam has a funny sense of humor regarding competitive prices. i will post a funny pic with the prices for his belly rings i took and posted on facebook because it was just too funny gotta love sam! 5 stars! read more

If you live in Flushing you know Busy Mall. And if you know Busy Mall you know Sam. I use to go to Sam to get rings, dog tags, and bracelets engraved and he was alway my goto guy. Clean, neat, and fast. My high school friends 10yrs age would go to him for piercings and I would go for moral support. The outcome of my friend would be amazing, it's as if they went to a tattoo parlor. Fast, clean, friendly, and cheap. I decided I wanted to get my tongue pierced and my husband wanted his eye brow pierced too. He does it behind his counter and the area is clean and comfy. He sterilized everything. Gave super detailed instructions on aftercare. Tho I also suggest you do research yourself. The piercing was quick and painless. And so was my husband piercing. I would recommend anyone who needs any engraving, piercing, or even to shop for body jewelry to go to Sam. read more

Got second earlobe piercings today -- quick, sanitary, painless. He's engraved silly high school rings for groups of friends over a decade ago to bracelets now for my niece. Straight forward, clean work. read more

Came here a few weeks ago to get my nose pierced with friends - Sam was so great, and my nose is healing perfectly! Everything was clean and sterilized and it took less than 5 mins! Will definitely return for future piercings read more

See all

Today was my first visit to sam's shop. He was actually closed, but came in to do my daith piercing anyway. How awesome is that? He and his assistant were super nice, and sam explained everything prior to piercing, and also regarding the aftercare. Most importantly the piercing itself was completely painless. I'm not even exaggerating. I was very pleased, and will definitely come here again. I highly recommend him for those of you looking for a skilled piercer. Also, his prices are ridiculously reasonable. Give him a try, you will not be disappointed. read more

Silver Image - Daith piercing with heart jewelry - Piercing Near Me - Flushing, New York

Got my first piercing experience here and It was very smooth. The staff answered any questions I had including healing treatment.

Unprofessional and the receptionist was rude and uninterested. When I came in Sam wasn't there and by the time I decided on what I wanted, Sam came storming in cursing and complaining very loudly about another person to the receptionist and I just stood there as they ignored me. When he was done he took me to the back and he told me how to take care of my piercings after which I appreciated. I got a cartilage piercing as well as 2 lobes. The lobes were $10 each and the cartilage was $40 with the needle not the gun. Sam marked my ears and I commented on how close it was to the edge of my ear but he dismissed it and pierced it either way. I guess you get what you pay for. read more

Soo I used to go to Sam's a lot because they were cheap and only $5 a lobe piercing and $25 for cartilage. They recently upped the price to $45 for cartilage which is understandable for good piercings. I have piercings from other places and somehow all of my piercings from Sams always gets infected. When I told the owner, he kept blaming me saying how I wasn't taking care of my piercing. When he went to help me change he aggressively pulled on my ear when I knew he could have been more gentle. What was worse was that he didn't have his mask all the way up and was wearing it under his nose the entire time and during a pandemic...so he obviously didn't take the safety of his customers sersiouly read more

I got a piercing at cartilage yesterday and he was awesome! He gave me all the instructions of how to take care of it before opening it. The process was clean and quick with being a very careful skill. I would visit again to get another piercing too. Reasonable price, professional skills, and the best customer service. I would def recommend this place. read more

Silver Image - Hoop piercing at cartilage - Piercing Near Me - Flushing, New York

I came to get my belly redone because the person I went to messed it up (he pierced me twice and it never healed after a year). Sam already knew what was wrong without even touching it. He pierced me with such ease and it was great. He explained so much to me. My boyfriend also came for his first ear piercing. By the time he was done talking he already pierced both ears with ease. He's very good. I plan to come back for my second ear piercing in the future. read more

Super nice guy and great service. He always lets his Facebook friends know when he will be open and how late. People message him what they want and how much. He always replies and have great deals as well. I came here to get my belly button pierced years ago and never got an infection. I know lots of people who have come here to get piercing and all I have heard was good things. He also sells body jewelry, necklaces and other stuff. He has so many sales and deals here. Also on main street if you're in between waiting for your bus or train. Stop by and get something done or check out the jewelry. Awesome place. read more

I had originally came here early and the place was close. So I recommend calling before coming here. When the lady pierced my second ear hole it was quick! She was really nice and told me how to take care of it. She made sure that my holes were in a straight line for further piercings. I recommend going here, the place is quite small but it does the job. read more

Sam's (also known as Silver Image) offers the best piercing services and jewelry in New York! Okay, that's a bit of a broad statement as I've only been to two spots in the city, but I've been nothing but satisfied with his work. I was recommended by a friend and have been coming back ever since. I got two nipple piercings here and they have held up very well. I also got a nose piercing, which caused immeasurably intense pain when I got it and took a while to heal but is now in perfect condition. He does all types of piercings so you will be in good hands. What I really appreciate is Sam's followup care and attention to detail. I came in with a messed-up piercing which had bubbled up (which I now realize was from a different store entirely) and he made the effort to help me out by popping the bubble, cleaning it up with iodine and giving me advice to avoid it in the future. Almost as important, his jewelry is silver and does not tarnish or turn blue or green with age. It has held up remarkably well over the course of half a year. The selections of jewelry for purchase are of high quality and you will not find trashy bronze pieces. Highly satisfied with this place. I travel over an hour to get here just because I like it so much. read more

I got my nose pierced here and I couldn't have picked a better place to do so. The owner was extremely kind and thoroughly explained the cleaning/healing process to me. The piercing + stud was I believe $25 and I paid an extra $5 for the cleaning solution which is a really good deal. Around one month later my piercing fell out, I went back to him and he was able to put it back in place, free of charge. I definitely recommend Silver Image for any of your piercing needs. read more

Super convenient, and everything went so great. I got my first piercings here like 3 years ago and came back for my 2nds and 3rd. He's really nice, and he did such a good job. Like my ears are really even. read more

I love this place! I first got my belly pierced many many many years ago when i was 17 and now that i wanted my septum i needed to come back! They made it so not painful very quick and painless clean & everything ! I paid $40 for my septum definetly recommend read more

The perfect/best place for piercing two words to describle; painless and safe. I've got all of my cartilage piercings from them, they never cause any trouble!

Always biggest thanks to Sam for his kindness!! I'll see you guys soon! read more

Silver Image - Three of my cartilage piercings are from them. They are just perfect. - Piercing Near Me - Flushing, New York

Sam was so patient and gentle with every newcomer that was there along with me. He really takes into account your ear shape and lobe thickness and goes far to deliver the best type of pericing he can. He let's you decide if it's exactly on the spot you want or not. I got double lobe piercings while my friend got an industrial piercing, and he was able to joke around and make both of us feel extremely comfortable. He definitely knows what he's doing and what he's saying, so I wasn't afraid to go through with the piercings. Definitely coming back for any other pericing from him only! read more

Sam is very professional. I got an industrial piercing here and it did hurt. But it was also better than I expected because Sam did it really quick and clean. I really recommend this place because it's not expensive either. I got my other cartilage at another place and it was almost $100. Here it only cost $55 for industrial pierce. It's so worth it. I'll def come again if I want another piercing. He also gave a coupon card for future visits. read more

I'm sorry to say that Sam was kind of a jerk. Enticed by the glowing reviews, I went in to look for titanium captive bead rings (for existing piercings) and was prepared to get another piercing here if I liked the place. But I was met with nothing but 'tude. Me: Do you carry titanium jewelry? Sam: What, belly ring? Me: No, just a standard bead ring. Sam: What KIND. What's the PIERCING. I have to know what KIND! Me: For a regular piercing, like this. (I show him my cartilage piercing. Isn't it understood that a CBR is the default piercing jewelry?) Sam: (Rolls his eyes angrily and pulls out a piece of cardboard with baggies of CBR's pinned onto it) Me: Oh, are all those titanium? Sam, in a tone of voice like I'm a child who is sticking her hands in the cookie jar: No, they are not all titanium! Only this, this, and this! So, they have literally 3 kinds of titanium bead rings in the entire shop, none of which were the size I needed. Me, preparing to leave: OK, thanks. (They say something to try to get me to purchase, so I explain:) I was looking for titanium because I have a nickel allergy and can't wear steel. At this point, Sam says something about how he's such a great piercer that I wouldn't get an allergic reaction or infection, and makes a remark about how the piercers in the booth toward the front don't wash their hands. .....Most piercing places would advertise their cleanliness this way: 1. We use disposable needles! 2. We autoclave all the jewelry before it goes into your body! 3. We use latex gloves! ...Not "I wash my hands." Beyond that, I get a rash if I have steel on my skin. Period. I'm not interested in chancing an allergic reaction. It doesn't make sense why anyone, a "piercer" no less, would declare that someone WON'T have an allergic reaction when they've just told you that they BIOLOGICALLY WILL. ?!?!! Anyway. This is not a piercing studio. They sell body jewelry in the middle of a cramped mall (think Hong Kong). If you want something pierced, it kind of looks like you just lean over the counter while the guys behind the counter dab at you with an alcohol wipe and stick a needle in your face. I'm sure he checks ID and all, but this booth still has the vibe of a place that high school kids undergoing identity crises would go for a rebellious hole in the tongue or belly. I'm sure they have a private area for "intimate" piercings but I can't imagine anyone would come here for those, considering how nasty and opposite of "welcoming" Sam was. Despite being in Flushing, their pricing is the same as Whatever Tattoo on St. Mark's: $30 for most popular needle piercings, and $5 for piercings with a gun. (A cartilage piercing will run you $25 at Whatever Tattoo and $45-60 at fancier places.) I'm surprised someone who runs a piercing salon would use a gun on cartilage - this is NOT seen as good piercing practice. Google why. Even if I had found the jewelry I'd wanted, is it worth coming here to get a hole in your body by someone who is rude and condescending and has dubious ideas about how hygiene works? You can do better. read more

Since my first piercing 10 years ago, you'll still find me here several times a year gift-shopping. Why, when I was a wee bit high school student that defined coolness with the # of piercings on my body (ok, just the ears), I went on a rampage with 5 all on the left side (4 on the lobe, 1 on cartilage), and they're all still here~ Sam's piercing skills is quick, painless, clean, and need I mention cheap? Thru-out the course of these 10 years, my "rebellious" phase has subsided, which leaves me coming here many times a year to pick up personalized and unique birthday & holiday gifts. I've gotten chains & dog tags for the boys, bracelets & rings for the girls, (earrings for myself, heh heh) and my personal favorite has got to be the engravables! So there's your usual round or flat silver rings, which you can engrave the inner circle of (I believe purchase comes with 1 free name/word/date, and additional words costs so on). Then they have the outer circle engraving (think Lord of the Rings - the one ring to rule them all), then there's the "entire word chiseled onto the ring band" method which means if you punch someone in the face, they're gonna get an imprint of whatever's on your ring. I love gifting those as clique totems; and when my bunny passed away, I buried my name ring with it, and went to get a new one that sports my bunny's name which I wear in its memory. On a good day, you can place your order and pick up within hours. So go shop around Flushing, grab some Kung Fu Tea next door, then come back and get ready to smile at the sight of your blinging new goodie. Their silver also does not tarnish (or takes A LOT to tarnish), and if you want to restore its shine and smoothness, just bring it back for some dip & buffer. read more

This dude's really rude and impatient. He doesn't take kindly to basic questions, and makes you feel as if you're stupid for asking them in the first place.. I came here to get cartilage piercings, and had the nastiest, most painful infection of my life. Black pus spewed out when I finally took off the piercings due to the unbearable pain. AVOID HERE AT ALL COSTS! read more

BEWARE! I am absolutely fed up with Silver Image I've gotten a number of piercings done from Sam Recently I got my snake eyes done here. Snake eyes are not an easy piercing and I warned him beforehand that I had gotten it done before and it went terribly wrong because the piercer put a bar that was too small He confidently told me that if I listened to his instructions nothing would go wrong. He messed up the first time and I had to be pierced twice (ouch) The second time he was trying to put the ball on and was clearly having some difficulty. He yelled "shit" a few times (very professional) and then finally managed to get it on. The piercing was a bit crooked, but I couldn't deal with the pain of getting it redone a third time so I just decide to live with it. Right after, the piercing looked fine and everything. I sucked on ice just like he told me to. I followed all of his rules and avoided hard foods, processed foods, used listerine after eating anything, etc. The next day my tongue swelled up and the bar was feeling tight and uncomfortable. I assumed that it would get better if I just gave it some time. The day after that the area around the balls were red and looked extremely irritated. The area was bleeding and I could taste blood in my mouth. I could barely eat anything because of the pain, so I went back that day to ask him to replace my bar with a longer one. (I've done this at other piercing places before and the piercer would gladly change the jewelry for me free of charge). I came all the way from manhattan and all I got from Sam was a big attitude. He insisted that it was normal and part of the healing process. Actually, he yelled it at me. I explained to him that I had gotten a fair share of piercings before and this looked far from normal. He asked if I had been sucking on ice and very rudely said "imagine if you didn't?" I told him "this doesnt look normal" "everyone heals differently, WHAT are you from mars or something you're not human?" ..Rude. He told he that tongue piercings take a week or two to heal and that I should wait that long. I said "fine, i'll wait a week and if it still looks like this I'll come back" and furiously walked out. I was determined to keep it in there a week and then demand my money back. The same day at night, I woke up in pain and found my tongue profusely bleeding so I was forced to take it out. There are still two purple bumps on my tongue where the piercing was. It seems sam is just obsessed with his reputation and does not know when to admit that he is wrong and gets very angry and mean when you try to challenge that. Silver Image is okay for ear piercings and small stuff like that, but for difficult piercings STAY AWAY. His prices are not that great either. read more

Finally made it to Sam's today after several Emails and messages that started in the winter. Sam was very patient and knowledgeable, answering all our questions and putting my mind at ease! Very reasonably priced and experienced, one can't go wrong here! Highly recommended for all of Silver Image's services and products! read more

Sam was great and pierced my helix so quickly. It was almost painless. He gave good instruction on how to take care of it and my first cartilage piercing is healing so nicely! read more

Sam was super kind. He explained the aftercare process of my belly piercing and was super thorough. He uses new needles every time. He was very friendly. After the piercing, I almost fainted and had to sit down. He grabbed me a chair and got me a soda to help get some sugar into my system. He was super kind about everything. Also very good pricing and very trustworthy. Would recommend to anyone who wants a good piercing for a good price. read more

I was very happy with my experience here and beforehand. I had requested a quote before I came as I wanted to see how much piercings would cost and they're quite affordable. I truly appreciated how honest Sam was about prices. For those who are worried about the cleanliness and sanitation, there are many professional liquids and cleaning done before the piercing. I only felt the smallest pinch when the needle went through (earlobes) and was comfortable the whole time. He took the time to look at my other piercings too, showing how much he cares for his customers. read more

I was hesitant at first because it's my first face tattoo (nose piercing, and nipple piercing. I can say that he was thorough, informative, gentle, and straight to the point. Yes he gives after care item(s). I would go back and recommend others. There's no parking however so Uber or take the bus lol. read more
