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!

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 :)

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?…

So not only did I need two pairs to speak to me, I needed them to go with most, if not all, of my outfits. No joke, I've literally been on the hunt for over a year. So after walking by for months, I found time to go in. It is such a cute store and the lady behind the desk was so nice. I was the only one in and she welcomed me so sweetly. I told her about my hunt for earrings, and she understood and just let me browse. And lo and behold within minutes I found them. They were a beautiful asymmetrical gold lotus set. I got so excited, but I kept looking because, hey, maybe I can find another pair to go with them (because once you find one pair, you're kind of limiting yourself to style). And yea, I found them. The cutest diamond stud earrings. You guys, I had literally been on this search for a year and I found them in just a few minutes in this store. So, your style may not be as casual as mine, but don't worry, they have different styles in there too. The rings...I love rings. I love the idea of them (because again, lazy) and they had some really beautiful pieces in there as well. They also have a large price range, so you might just find the pieces you're looking for. They have many pieces, like mine, that are well under $100, as well as engagement-type rings over $10K. A few months after my purchase though, my beautiful lotus fell out. I went back into the store to tell her, and she remembered the style as well as the jeweler. She quickly found out that the jeweler still makes them! Thank god, because, I cannot be on that hunt again. It was really painless to do a special order (you have to put 50% down when you do those) and she was really thorough in explaining when they'd come in and will shoot me an email. Overall: cute store with unique pieces curated by lovely people.

I knew I had to wait until they opened to check things out in person, and luckily they are very punctual. A surprising amount of people came in at opening - I guess it's a very popular store/location! We were first window shopping around, and it was initially hard to get a staff to help answer a few questions about pieces we were interested in. Finally we got someone's attention and they actually pulled out the entire collection for us to see and ask to try on. It wasn't on display, but as part of the box of pieces that were for sale, I found an adorable ring and knew I had to get it. Unfortunately they had sold out of my size - at the time, my fingers must've been extremely swollen from the heat because my size was way bigger than I remembered it to be. The staff didn't mention anything like that to be wary of, but I felt like they would have known. I left the shop without buying anything but did note the ring I wanted and got on the waitlist online. Eventually they came back in stock, so I'm glad I did go to the storefront to see it in person!

I purchased two name rings late in 2025, I had been a customer at the original location since they opened in 2005 when I was in college! I've bought so many rings from them, many by Wwake but also very nice ones by their in house line. A lot of personalized ones over the years with sentimental value for me. I think quality and production must be way down and I'm worried maybe these rings I have from last year may not even be actual gold. Maybe it's a fault in the design? I put one on and almost cut myself- it had split!!! I was so shocked and reached out to them immediately since this hasn't happened in 20+ years as a loyal customer who recommended their brand, bought gifts for family, etc. I emailed customer service and they said it's under warranty and can be fixed. I felt like that would be okay until I looked at my other name ring, purchased on the same date. I can see a split forming but not complete in the same exact location as the other one!!!!! I don't want a "fix" or replacement anymore unless it's another brand. I'd like my money back, I've never ever had real jewelry break on its own like this and I take very good care of these treasured objects. I can see these will break again and again :( If they can actually give good customer service I'll return as a customer to still buy trusted brands like Wwake but would never buy from their line ever again and can see numerous recent Reddit posts describing Catbird line jewelry falling apart! Sticking to Kathryn Bentley and other cool designers who take more pride in their work. Buyer beware :/

I genuinely cannot say enough good things about my experience here! From the moment I walked in, Eric was welcoming and thorough. He took the time to inspect my necklace and explain what needed to be fixed. I was then brought downstairs, where I got to sit and watch Herman work on my necklace up close on a TV screen. I could see every little detail of the repair as it was happening, which was fascinating! While I was downstairs, Courtney came over and started explaining everything to me. At this point, I felt like I was on a little excursion tour and I was loving every minute of it! She shared how Herman got his start in jewelry repair when he was just 9 years old in Ecuador and how he's spent years perfecting his craft. Watching him work while hearing his story made me appreciate the craftsmanship that much more. My necklace was repaired, cleaned, and polished to absolute perfection. But here's where my experience got even better. While I was downstairs, Diana complimented me on my necklace and the diamond earrings I was wearing. What she didn't know was that those earrings had been driving me CRAZY for the longest time. Because of their size and weight, they would constantly tilt downward instead of sitting beautifully on my ears. It's such a small thing, but when you have beautiful earrings, you actually want people to SEE them! Diana asked what kind of backings I was using. I told her screwbacks, and she smiled and told me to come find her upstairs when I was finished. Well, I did, and she pulled out these jumbo-sized screwbacks and said, "Let's see if these work." She cleaned my earrings, had me try them on with the new backings, and I kid you not, I got emotional LOL. My diamonds were FINALLY sitting upright and looking the way they were supposed to! She jokingly called them the "magic bra" for earrings, which honestly couldn't have been a more accurate description. SOLD! I walked in for a necklace repair and somehow walked out with a problem solved that I hadn't even come in to address. All because Diana was observant enough to notice something and thoughtful enough to offer a solution. That to me is exceptional customer service. Before I left, Eric inspected my necklace one more time and even gave me some helpful advice on how to properly lay and store it to avoid future stretching or breaks. What really stood out to me was how genuinely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful everyone was. Nobody was trying to sell me something I didn't need. They were simply passionate about what they do and took the time to make sure I was happy. I left Gennaro Jewelers absolutely elated. Between Eric, Courtney, Herman, and Diana, what could have been a simple jewelry repair turned into such a memorable experience.

All the work was done right in front of me and never left my sight. The experience was absolutely 10/10 and I definitely HIGHLY recommend them for your rings!
