First time coming here ! Hali was so professional, thorough and gentle. She made my experience feel so easy and stress free. I Highly recommend her & looking forward to getting my future piercings with her. read more

Hi! Thanks for your response! I greatly appreciate it! Your employee Haley said the website didn't state any of what you just said and needed to be updated. She also stated she would inform you of this so you could fix it. I'm glad you finally updated your website so that future customers won't experience what my daughter did.  I'm never too busy or in a rush to read regarding my money and my daughter's safety. Anything that requires upfront payments or a deposit; I'm going to read so I know if I will be refunded in unforeseen situations like the one at your shop. Taking accountability for a mistake is much better than responding passive-aggressively, especially considering that you are the shop owner. Again, thanks for responding. Have an amazing day! read more

I visited TEIN for help with changing out a stubborn conch pushpin that just would not give, and took the plunge on getting my daith pierced as well (been wanting this done for years!). Yana was an absolute pleasure! The daith piercing didn't hurt at all, and I laughed at how quickly and easily the pushpin came out after days of me struggling with it lol. 100% recommend and will definitely return! read more

The End Is Near - New daith piercing and freshly-changed conch jewelry! - Piercing Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I would give this place 5 stars I've been going here for over 10yrs and have gotten most of my 15 piercings here. Everyone is really nice and helpful (Shoutout to Anthony & Chris). I'm leaving off one star bc i needed to get some of my jewelry taken out for a procedure and they charged me to both take out and put back in (separate times) then my nose ring fell out so i went back and they charged me again. I get it, rent is a lot etc. & honestly would rather just tip the person $10-15 bc to put a tip on top of that is a bit much. Id love if there was some kind of loyalty perk where this is a free service if you've gotten pierced there before (it would be a way to keep people coming back)... but to pay ANOTHER $15 to put my nose ring back in, using the jewelry I bought there isn't the most customer friendly practice. Something they should consider for the future I hope! read more

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. read more

I love The End is Near! I've gotten 3 very different piercings here, and each has healed wonderfully. I've gotten pierced twice by their apprentice, Jules, under Anthony's supervision, and both my conch & eyebrow piercing have healed with no hiccups. They occasionally run specials on specific placements so she can get more experience, so sign up for their emails so you can get notified! I've gotten both of the aforementioned piercings for $20 (50% off the piercing price, jewelry is separate) which definitely helps with the cost. I've also seen nipple, helix, nostril, septum, and belly button included in the deal before, so you might luck out and get something you've been wanting for less! I got my first piercing by Jeff, who moved on to a different spot, but that also went very well, and the shop has always been super clean. Everyone is very professional but also nice! I always felt at ease with the piercers as TEIN. If you're looking for quality piercings in NYC that won't bankrupt you, make the trip over to TEIN, you won't regret it! read more

I had a positive experience at The End Is Near. I did some more ear piercings and will be going back for more. The establishment was very clean, free from any hazard material, etc. The staff were very professional and caring I truly appreciate that touch. The jewelry selection is awesome very stylish and classy. It's displayed very nicely for the customer to view. read more

The piercer yanna was great, however the pricing was a bit ridiculous. The website states the piercing its self is $40 and the jewelry is separate. This place charged me $35 for the jewelry bar and an extra $25 for the ball. I ended up paying $100 for everything including a $20 deposit. The price is not what bothered me it just felt like they were hiding the real price. Paying 2 separate prices for one piece of jewelry is insane. The piercing is fine just look out for what they charge you for. read more

Rude, snobby piercer who refused to pierce my septum because he said my it was too deviated and that the piercing would heal badly and look crooked. Went to a shop recommended by a friend a few days later, and he had zero trouble piercing me. He just had to make some adjustments and my piece came out nice and straight. To the piercer at The End Is Near: Just say you don't know what you're doing and don't project your feelings about a deficit in your skills on the customer and their anatomy. I felt like I was in a Portlandia sketch with how passive aggressive and judgy you were. My nose wasn't the problem, you were. read more

I've been coming here for years! Since at least 2016 when I had my belly button ring replaced. I had my septum piercing done in 2017, and several ear piercings in the following years, concluding with my nostril piercing in October 2023 which was done by a very nice young woman, I think her name is Ellie? I did all my follow-ups with another nice young woman, whose name I can't remember, but within 6 months of getting my nose pierced I upgraded to a small silver hoop which ultimately got infected - which btw, I get that happens sometimes! The nice lady I saw, I think she had like red slick-backed hair? She's always made me feel at ease and switched me back to a stud from the hoop - explaining that the base of the stud is long, with a lot of space to allow for healing. She advised that I should return once the infection healed to have the base switched out for something less long, so that the nose ring wouldn't poke out and snag. I moved out of the neighborhood but decided to keep coming back because I have trusted this place for awhile. I'm traveling in the next week, and was told by the aforementioned professional that too much movement in the piercing can irritate it, so I wanted to come back and have it shortened. I made an appointment for today (Sunday the 23rd of June) and came in. There was a male professional there who just seemed like he was irritated by my presence in the shop. He barely greeted me and barely listened to my concerns (I wanted to have my hoop put back in as my piercing seems to have healed BUT I wanted a professional opinion, etc.) but he just ignored my questions, had me tilt my head back for measurements, etc. My biggest concern is that I do not know how well he sanitized the new piece that was placed. He didn't explain anything (as the other professionals I have seen here have done) and was generally pretty gruff. It looked like he took the new piece, put it on a paper towel, and squirted it with the antibacterial solution they use to sanitize jewelry. I'm concerned because in the past it always seemed like that was a longer process. Also, when I was seen, he had me standing in the lobby with my head tilted back, and when I came to the exam room, he had me sitting up with my head tilted back instead of laying down, which made it seem like he was in a rush and wanting to get the procedure over with as quickly as possible. He got to work on my nose, frustratingly trying to get the new piece to seal and not explaining anything, it was just not a nice experience - my husband was in the lobby and heard the clicking of his instruments and was nervous for me because he didn't know what was going on. I've had jewelry placed before, so I'm familiar - but if I hadn't been, it would have been very unsettling. I'm a little concerned about this experience and I'm unlikely to return, I feel a little bit like this establishment is running on their reputation alone. read more

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. read more

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! read more

The End Is Near - In love with my new Conch piercing by Anthony at The End Is Near! - Piercing Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My piercer Hali was so knowledgeable and very kind! She is a great communicator and made me feel very safe. The studio itself was very clean and organized. I never felt rushed picking jewelry, and I had a really good time. I will definitely go back! read more

I got my first cartilage piercing here and another just love. I wanted to spend time choosing an earring and was rushed and made to feel like I was taking up too much time. I followed the instructions carefully, but still the cartilage got infected off and on all year. The expensive tiny stud fell out of its socket, so I lost the earring. Also, the posts were cut too short. I have since gone to Claire's for three more piercings that were cheap, not infected, and long lasting. read more

To some degree, this review almost isn't fair because I just moved out to Long Island from living in the SF Bay Area for the past 15 years, and that is the mecca for all thing's body piercing and tattoos. Even though NY offers a much better quality of life than California, God forbid you find that your tragus piercing fell out and I can't go to Zebra in Berkeley like I have for all my piercings. I thought maybe I would have an easy time finding a replacement piercing even though I wasn't in Berkeley. Boy was I wrong. Shopping for body jewelry in NY is the equivalent of going through a drug deal (just to SEE the jewelry) and in the end your just shown garbage shake weed. I'm used to walking into Zebra, cases of all kinds of jewelry lining the store, peacefully being helped while I wait for my number to be called while I'm overwhelmed with the amazing selection. This place had zero selection, dude was super pushy and opinionated about every choice I wanted to make, which wasn't easy because there was nothing to choose from. After much hemming and hawing and even considering leaving without buying anything, I chose a piece of opal jewelry. I told him the purple opal, but either he didn't hear or had his own idea at that point what he wanted, because clearly this is for him, he chose the white opal instead. Took the guy a few minutes to even set up, keep in mind I was only getting a jewelry insertion and not a piercing. Even had to lay down which again was confusing, because my girl at Zebra could pierce and insert any jewelry with her eyes closed and do an amazing job. All in all not a great experience and would not recommend. I went here based on the reviews, and all of you who gave this place 5 stars have clearly never been anywhere else that takes piercing seriously and I highly suggest you should. I tipped that dude $5 so he can save up for a trip to the Bay Area and visit a real body piercing shop. read more

Very friendly staff, the piercer was very honest and told me that a previous piercing (which I had thought long closed up) was still open, and all he needed to do was put in the jewelry, which ended up being the only thing I had to pay for. The jewelry selection is a little $$$$, but undoubtedly that's how they make their money, so I can't fault them for that. read more

12 months into the pandemic I decided to get my first ever piercings (both nipples). I have to admit that I'm a bit of a baby, and get squeamish even just getting blood taken for my annual physical. Piercing was straightforward - first nipple was surprisingly easy, second one was more... interesting (piercer mentioned that's sometimes the case with adrenaline or whatever chemicals that get triggered from the first). Thought out the prep and the actual piercings I felt super comfortable, and all the steps were clearly explained so I knew exactly what was happening and what to expect. Follow up aftercare was also fine, and happy to say that they have healed perfectly without any complications. Because I've never had any piercings (or tattoo) before I don't have a lot to compare with, but I give TEIN 10/10 for my first-time piercing experience. read more

Very good experience there with all things piercing and care! Great experience with Jules. Also I liked the jewelry, even if a limited selection. read more

I'm gonna write a super honest review, with details that I would want to know. This is gonna be a long one, but stay with me. First, they're super strict about COVID19 protocols, which is a huge plus in my book. Kept masks on, asked for my vaccination card, told other people to put their masks on immediately. I had an appt on Friday for a septum piercing, and it ended up being with Jeff at the end is near location (not hand of glory). Super nice dude, we had some cool conversation while he was waiting for the previous person scheduled to me (I got there early). He also asked me my pronouns and was respectful of them. When the person didn't show up, he answered the many, many, many questions I had about the tools, the process, what to expect with pain, etc, and started getting me set up. It was very, very clean in the shop. He was super patient and explained everything. Including: he wasn't going to use the clamp, as I saw it being done on tiktok, he was going to use freehand, and he wasn't going to have me sit up--I was going to lie down, head upside down, so he could actually look into my nose. He explained the process-- was going to mark my nose, etc. We started the process, and I can't tell anyone else the pain meter, but from what I've read it's not supposed to hurt so much if it's in the sweet spot, and it honestly it didn't really. The pinching to get it in the spot hurt more. Jeff also showed me how to direct my breathing for pain management, and that probably helped a lot. Unfortunately the first time he pulled the jewelry through he studied it and told me that it wasn't as symmetrical as he'd thought, and that he didn't want me walking out of the shop with it looking as it did. He explained he could try and fix it now, or that I could come back in a couple weeks and it would be comped minus cost of jewelry, which sounded pretty fair. I don't live in Brooklyn, actually pretty far from it, so I wasn't gonna wait another 2 weeks. Plus, he has 12 years experience as a piercer, and I had seen his other work,so when he apologized for the mistake and offered to rectify it I decided to trust him. He pierced through a secpnd time, only through one side, ( same exit hole) and voila, it was fixed! Time to put the jewelry in. Unfortunately, despite him testing it beforehand, the threads on it were stripped, and he had to change it out. It all hurt, but not too bad, especially with the breathing technique that he helped me through the entire time. All this took awhile, but when it was finished it looked great, and even though he knew he had other people waiting, he didn't rush or become snippy or anything. Remained kind and informative the entire time. Some people will read this and wonder, why am I giving 5 stars when so much went wrong before it went right? Well... Body modification CAN go wrong, (I have many tattoos and other piercings) it's literally putting holes or marks in/ on your body. but what matters is what happens next, and how you're treated. Jeff not only fixed his mistake, but made me feel welcome and taken care of the whole time, and was completely honest about everything. 10/10 would come here again in the future, and if I have any questions about this piercing I have full confidence in the shop and will be calling or making an appointment. Though right now it's healing great! Thanks for reading, and thank you Jeff, and end is near! read more

Got a navel piercing from hailey, it was awesome! so respectful and comforting throughout the whole process, very receptive to all of my needs. read more

Literally best customer service ever! So considerate and honest...due to a previous piercing/scar tissue, I was advised that it would be best not to get a re-piercing in my navel area. They totally could have just taken my money and I wouldn't know any better later if the piercing didn't last, but told me beforehand and even gave my deposit back since I didn't end up going through with it...So kind! If I ever do decide I need a different area pierced I will totally be coming back to TEIN. read more

For my quarter-life crisis, I decided to FINALLY get my very first piercings ever. Yes, at 25, my earlobes gave away their virginity. I wasn't really dying for it to happen / never cared for earrings / didn't resent my mom for not piercing me when I was an infant (shoutout to her actually, for letting me have a choice in that) -- It was just that I had turned 25. And I thought, let's do something crazy. Perhaps a tattoo would've been crazier, but let's be real, we gotta save something for my mid-life crisis. After getting frustrated at all the exorbitant prices that piercing shops in the city were charging, I came up with the great idea of just looking in my own backyard - Park Slope, Brooklyn! (I'm also a little too old for the free piercing at Claire's, I think) When this place popped up in my search back in June, they were actually celebrating their 14-year anniversary that weekend which meant an amazing promotion of $14 piercings AND 14% off jewelry. So I got both my ears pierced for $28 total and then the ~high quality titanium~ earrings for $100. What a steal!! Chris was my piercer and did a pretty great job with everything. Apparently I do not have symmetrical ears (not uncommon, I embrace it) so I very much appreciated that he took the time and effort to carefully figure out/decide on the exact placement of both piercings. Good looking out bro. My only slight criticism is that I wish he did a better job walking me through the aftercare steps/process - I feel like he rushed through that at the end, and as a noob I had no idea what I was getting myself into, so I didn't have the right questions prepared either. When I got home, I was left wondering "How exactly do I clean these? Do I need gauze pads?" "When can I stop cleaning 2-3x a day?" and "Do I really have to leave these in for the next 6 months?" I kind of just figured it out as I went along and was never infected thank goodness! Still overall a great and painless experience, and again pretty dang affordable. I bought the $10 bottle of saline before I left, so my grand total including tax + tip came out to be just over $150. Not bad at all!! It's been just over 6 months now and I'm so excited to wear my first pair of hoops! read more

Got my tragus pierced after reading up that in fact NO it will not make you paralyzed Chris made me feel safe and confident in the placement and execution, and didnt haggle on jewelry choice - actually made me feel good about my "cheap" choice. **while their piercing prices are reasonable ($35 for the tragus), the jewelry can get up there but they did seem open to bringing in your own options. And always glad to support local businesses especially ones of beauty and self expression. Excited to start getting more piercings and utilizing their Friday BOGO stacked piercings exclusive while it lasts! read more

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.

I had such a good experience with my last piercings at The End Is Near that when I wanted to get a conch piercing I didn't even bother looking elsewhere. (It doesn't hurt that I live super close.) I got there a little early so I could scope out the jewelry as their in-store stock seems to differ from their online stock. Angie behind the counter humored me while I checked the prices on all the sparkly studs, and I ultimately settled on one of the pieces that was half-off. Lucky me! Once I had picked out my stud and signed the waiver, Chris took me into the piercing room. He confirmed what I was there to do, asked me how long I'd been thinking about getting this piercing (I guess to gauge how resolute I was?), and asked if I had any allergies to latex or iodine. He ran through the procedure with me and asked how I was feeling about it. He marked where he was going to place the conch and asked for me to confirm the placement. All in all, just really concerned with my comfort level and making sure I understood what he was doing and what I was doing, which I very much appreciated. When it was finally time to pierce my cartilage, I laid down on the table so Chris could get a better view of my ear from the back and front. He asked me to draw a deep breath in and then he pierced me when I breathed out. It hurt--I won't lie--but it didn't hurt as much as I expected. He put the jewelry in, cleaned up the iodine on my ear. We were both pretty pleased with the result! I recommend taking ibuprofen or naproxen BEFORE your appointment just to minimize pain and swelling immediately after. I forgot to do that and had to take it after I was already dealing with the discomfort. It's been three days since the appointment, and I haven't needed to take anything since. TL;DR: I recommend The End Is Near. read more

I am so happy I found TEIN (The End Is Near). I've been to other piercing shops in Brooklyn, but TEIN is by far my favorite. The customer service is beyond excellent. Everybody who works here is AMAZING. So welcoming, friendly, chill, and very very professional. 3 weeks ago I had a medusa piercing done by Anthony. He was super nice, made sure I was comfortable, answered all my questions, and made sure I was aware it was one of the more higher maintenance piercings. I loved and appreciated how much he cared about educating me about the piercing and aftercare. He did a fantastic job piercing me, and my Medusa came out beautifully. It's healing really great and I'm just obsessed with it. It's boosted my confidence and I feel like a bad bxxch! Hahaha. Also, big shoutout to Jeff!!! I went for a checkup yesterday and he was just the best. Really really nice, super chill, explained a lot to me about the piercing and why I wasn't ready to downsize yet. He was also nice enough to insert a new septum ring in for me that I last minute decided to purchase. Nicest dude ever that really knows his stuff. I honestly love this shop. I will continue to go here for piercings & jewelry. Everybody here is just fabulous. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND The End Is Near!!! read more

Guess who's back! I came back to The End Is Near because my first piercing healed with no issues and even when I went to buy a new stud in 2017 Alex change it for me no problem. Also because they're the only place that had the retainer that I wanted. I was early for my appointment. When I was checking in Anthony asked me when was the last time I ate (Answer: Over 4 hours ago). He told me since I was early to go eat something so my blood sugar wouldn't be low. This time, I got my septum done. Sad that Alex isn't there anymore, but Anthony did a great job as well. Took a few tries to mark for the piercing. I was old that I have a big sweet spot, lol. Once again the piercing took about 10 minutes or less, no blood, minimal pain. It's now a week later and I forget that I got my septum done. read more

I had two ear piercings (rook and anti-tragus) done with hoops at another trendy (and expensive) piercing over a year before visiting The End is Near and they never healed, no matter what I tried. Like, a big bump on each and constant irritation the entire year. A friend had finally suggested I find a piercer to change out the hoops for a barbell and I stumbled upon this shop since I live in the neighborhood. When I went in, the piercer was happy to do the jewelry change for the anti-tragus, but was honest and warned me that he didn't know if the rook piercing could be salvaged, so he was hesitant to let me spend my money on jewelry that might get wasted. This already was so refreshing, as I've had more than one piercer upsell me on things that were never going to have worked out. So, on my first visit I just had the antitragus changed and literally within three days, the bump that I had for 14 months was gone! I decided to go back and take the risk buying a new barbell for the rook, and same result! I can't explain how much of a relief this was after a year of pain and my ears looking gross and angry. A few months have gone by and both piercings look great. And both times the appointment was as quick, easy, and painless as a jewelry change in a VERY angry piercing could be. My only regret is that I didn't come here in the first place, as I would likely have a rook that was pierced better and have saved a lot of headache. I was hesitant to get any more piercings done after how awful the healing process was, and now I feel like I could confidently go to The End is Near and know I will have a great piercing done with proper jewelry. Highly recommend this piercing shop! read more

In an effort to finally get my dream Sternum piercing, I visited various shops before I landed at The End Is Near through recommendation! Both Angie (front-desk) and Matt (piercer) walked me through the options and process to put my mind at ease about my first surface piercing. Matt took careful consideration in making sure the piercing aligned properly, and the wait was worth it! The end result had me blown away and unsure of why I waited so long in the first place. If I ever get the craving to get a surface piercing again, this will probably be my go-to place. read more

I went to the End is Near for the second time last week. I returned because of an excellent experience a year ago. While I continue to be impressed by the shop's cleanliness, sterile technique, and high quality jewelry, my experience with Hali was less than stellar. She was abrupt to the point of being rude. I was there on a Monday afternoon with NO ONE in the shop. After allowing me to look for about 7-8 minutes and the jewelry I might want, she abruptly told me that I had to hurry up because the 15 minute window was almost up. I ended up with jewelry I liked, but to be honest, as I left I saw something I might have liked more in the front window. Had she taken the time to actually engage with me, I would have purchased a much more expensive piece of jewelry (good for the business) and something that I liked more in a more pleasant atmosphere (good for me). I don't know if I will return. read more

The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about piercings. They took the time to make me feel confortable and explain the whole process. I truly enjoyed my time getting my ear pierced. The jewelry is on the pricey side if you ask me but it is all real and beautiful. They only work by appointments only. read more

I've been sitting on this review for some time, because I felt at first that maybe my experience was an anomaly. Strap in because this will take a minute. I went in October to get my philtrum done. When I first came to the shop, the piercer (not sure of the name but he was a tall thin-ish guy) started to set up and began to check my lip area to see if the piercing would work for my anatomy. After a few minutes he decided that it would not be a good idea to get the piercing because of where my lip frenulum ends. I was disappointed but figured he was the expert and got a conch piercing (left ear) instead while I debated whether or not to get a jestrum piercing instead of the philtrum the next week. A week goes by and I go back to get my vertical labret done only to find the piercer also cannot do this piercing because he didn't have a small enough curved bar for my lip. He apologizes and I'm annoyed, but fine, I just ended up going to another shop (Live By The Sword) to get the vertical labret done. It goes perfectly fine, no issue with the bar size. Flash forward months later when I'm getting my other conch done, my piercer at a different shop (IRIS Piercing in Williamsburg ) notices that my left conch is not entirely in the right spot. She said there's a chance it migrated but more likely it was off when it was done. I was surprised since I do my research when getting piercings and don't just pick random piercing shops willy-nilly. The only reason I went to The End Is Near is because it had good reviews and IRIS isn't doing oral piercings right now (due to Covid). My ear has healed with few issues so I guess that's fine, but the whole experience, including being told I couldn't get either the philtrum or vertical labret done in the first place rubbed me the wrong way. It's 2023, no one has time for a piercer who's end result is off target, even slightly. If I wanted a piercing that was crooked, I could have done it myself. Also, I get sometimes your anatomy means you can't get a certain piercing but this doesn't seem like it was the actual issue. I don't know what the piercer's deal was about not doing the piercings I originally wanted, but I've since gotten both with no problems. I wanted to post this review, because based on some rumors I've heard, I'm not the only one who walked away with issues working with this shop. If that's the case, then the body mod community in Brooklyn should be aware of this so that changes can be made for the benefit of everyone. read more
