Went with my bestie randomly and we both got tattoos that we loved. And got matching nose piercings. Such a fun trip amazing people. Jimmy (Jim) did our tattoos and Anthony did our piercings 10-10 recommend and will be coming back very soon. Owners are also the kindest people ever !! Definitely one of the more cleaner tattoo and piercing places.

A friend and I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon looking to get our cartilages pierced. I searched Yelp for piercing shops and came across The End is Near - they had a ton of 5 star reviews and accepted walk ins (according to this Yelp page) so me and my friend drove over to check it out. When we walked in, I realized they have a mask mandate so I began putting my mask on. I literally had my mask in my hand right about to put it on my face when someone stuck their head out of the back and told me I had to wear my mask...obviously you can see I'm putting it on. Then someone came out from the back and we told them we were looking to get our cartilages pierced to which he told us he was fully booked and we needed an appointment. I told him that their Yelp page (which they are very active on as I see the business owner frequently responds to reviews and makes updates) says "walk ins welcomed" and he asked me to show him, which I did (screenshot below). He then said "oh sorry about that" and told me he could only pierce one of us because he had one cancellation. That didn't work for us because we obviously both wanted a piercing. In my opinion, since their Yelp page has wrong information on it, we should have been accommodated for the inconvenience. We went out of our way to come here solely based on the information on their Yelp page, which again, they are frequently logging into so if walk ins aren't accepted, they should update their page. I could have looked at their website, but since they are so active on Yelp, I assumed all the information was up to date. We were annoyed and just left and went a few blocks away where we were able to be accommodated. The apology obviously meant nothing because as of the date and time of this review, Yelp still says walk ins welcome.

Rook by Anthony, helix by Chris

I got my rook and helix pierced by Anthony and Chris, respectively, and had wonderful experiences both times. Both piercers are friendly, professional and know how to make their clients feel at ease. They are always willing to discuss the best placements for your jewelry given your anatomy. At the end of the appointment, you are provided with an aftercare sheet as well as the option to purchase saline spray. The shop itself is super sanitary; they take covid precautions seriously. (Contactless release forms, strict adherence to mask rules, limited capacity) What I think makes TEIN special is that although they are a speciality piercing shop, they carry quality jewelry for all budgets. With the popularity of constellation piercings, I have been drawn to curated ears but didn't want to drop so much money on my initial pieces. I love that TEIN is unpretentious in that way. My piercings are healing well, and I will definitely be back for more!

In love with my new Conch piercing by Anthony at The End Is Near!
Angie C.

...So a friend of mine spontaneously decided she want to get another piercing and asked me if I would like to accompany her and get a piercing too since I have and was talking about getting more...After a brief search on Maps we stumbled on TEIN...After looking at their website and seeing the ease to get pierced we called and made an appointment for each of us ...We made our way to the shop and as first impressions go it was very appealing and looked clean...We then told the person at the front desk (Anthony) what we were there for and then proceeded to choose the jewelry for each our piercings with his guidance..Once that was done and all the forms were filled we then each went in to get pierced..He was clean and thorough and overall patient with us and the end result is that we were absolutely pleased!...If you are ever in Brooklyn check them out!

End result!

I loved the experience so much that I went back and got my navel pierced. Trying to figure out what I'm going to pierce next.

What is the minimum age to get a nose piercing with parental consent? I am 15 and would love to get one with my parents present. Thanks :)

Am i able to lay down for a nipple piercing or do i have to sit up?

How much is it to get a nose piercing and is it done with a gun?

Not sure about the price, but you can definitely give them a call. They're really friendly and helpful both over the phone and in person. It's definitely not done with a gun though. Professional piercers would never use a gun because it's unsafe and… 

Hi! how do you pierce, gun or needle? thanks!

Needle

Hi How are you? I want to get my nose pierced. When can I get an appointment?…

had an absolutely wonderful experience getting my ear pierced with my sister yesterday at Electric…read moreAnvil. upon entering, you're greeted with the sounds of buzzing tattoo guns, beautiful hardwood floors and black leather tattoo chairs with works by the tattoo artists all over the walls. Electric Anvil had an extensive selection of different types jewelry and the pieces themselves weren't insanely overpriced like some other shops in the area. our piercer named Jose had a calm, professional demeanor, yet was very easy to speak to and gladly answered all our questions even going so far as to give advise on and check our other piercings we hadn't even had done there and gave us detailed aftercare directions (we had a few random questions about jewelry size, checked if some of our piercings were still open, etc). each piercing Jose did was quick and painless, which was largely in part due to his competence and experience. he was extremely cautious when prepping and piercing us, repeatedly changing his gloves throughout and re-sanitizing everything he used, touched or even looked at. while i felt bad he had to go through so many pairs of gloves, it was very reassuring to see he took our safety and the sanitation process seriously--especially for a first time visit. we both had a 3rd hole pierced on one ear and all together it came out to be about $70 each ($40 for the piercing and $30 for the jewelry). there wasn't a single thing i didn't like about the experience we had at Electric Anvil and i would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get a piercing! 11/10

Let me start off by saying I love my tattoo courtesy of Big Mike. He did a great job and I hope to…read morebe back again. Now, I was a walk-in but I had emailed with them several times regarding price and availability. I appreciate that they told me to call before coming in (which I did) because I didn't want to go in vain. Big Mike is super nice, chill and very easy to talk to. I'm a teacher and he's a soon to be art teacher so we bonded over that. Really cool guy and very patient and understanding. Mike took the time to search for fonts that resembled what I wanted and then trying out different sizes, never once rushing the process which I appreciated. Once the tattoo outline was placed on my skin, he again asked me if the placement was what I wanted and size, again thanks for doing that. Overall, loved my experience here, have & will continue to recommend. Super clean, friendly artists, in & out in 30 mins. Thank you for making me feel comfortable the whole time and good luck with the edTPA mike! P.S.- I came here on a rainy day around 3pm so it was kind of empty and then picked up so piece of advice: email & call beforehand.

I'm extremely upset with the piercing side of this shop. I asked a person there with help opening…read moreup my 8 gauge septum ring, and the first thing i noticed was the look of uncertainty. The second thing was the lack of correct equipment. He used thick rusty pliers (which is incredibly risky because this piercing is STILL HEALING!!) and scissors instead of ring opening pliers of flat nose pliers. My brand new, expensive jewlery broke in his hands without compensation. He stated "this is the risk that you take". However, no risk was stated and there was no debriefing done. I've had rings of a similar gauge opened just fine. I'm very disappointed because My jewelry broke before I could wear it out and it was a waste of money because I cannot wear it anymore. He stated to me that "i've never seen a septum piercing this large before" which i could understand, but to me it shows that he should've declined the job if he knew he didn't have experience in it. This is my second weird experience with my septum piercing at this shop. The first time was when the piercer tried telling me what gauge i was at (assumed 16) and debated with me about with me knowing it was a 12. Then proceeded to say 20 gauge is thicker and 16 is thinner, which is opposite. The people on the piercing side here do not know what they are doing.

HoG has been 25 years in my neighborhood, so I walked in there on a whim. Banna at the front desk was warm and welcoming. We talked about what I wanted, She showed real interest in a raw design idea of mine. A small thing of straight lines, concentric circles and a Chinese character that, as a whole, represented deeper things only to me. She recommended Mike G. who she said makes the cleanest lines and showed me samples of his work along with a couple of other artists'. My appt with Mike was a few days later. I had emailed my sketches and a reference picture for the Chinese character. He had the design ready. It was true to my idea and needed no alteration. He had it mocked up in slightly different sizes and even produced an in between size when I asked. Just around two inches was prefect. I was completely at ease with Mike from hello. And despite warnings from a friend who has several tats that the inner upper arm is a tender area, I gotta say, the screaming baby on the subway going there cause me more discomfort than Mike's needle. His lines are indeed clean, crisp, straight or even in all the right ways. Here is the character a half inch high looking like it was applied with a brush. At four weeks everything's healed very nicely. I thought I couldn't be happier with it, then I learned something special. The character which means "not yet" is also the character representing the "earthly branch" connected to my zodiac animal, the goat. I love this tattoo! Thank you Mike. Thank you Banna. And HoG, I hope you're there for another 25. Jules
