Came in to get my nose re pierced and had a great experience! The owner is so friendly and sweet. They give excellent after care instructions and answer any questions you have. I would highly recommend them! read more

This place is absolutely amazing! I came here to get my nose pierced, then brought my mother here for another service! This shop reminds me of a female Tim Burton style, I'm obsessed with their aesthetic. We met the owners on our second visit, they were very kind with a spunky "rock n roll" style. I will be coming here again and be blessing my friends by taking them to the coolest place in the historic downtown McKinney! read more

I cannot day enough great things about my experience at this shop. First off, the shop is so cool and the atmosphere in there is awesome. The workers are very friendly and really treat you like family. The owner (Patty) of the shop is the one who does the piercings and let me tell you, she's the best you can get. She is extremely knowledgeable and so nice. I got a conch for one of my ears and I really expected it to hurt a lot more than it did. She is so fast and precise that it barely hurt at all. She took the time to go over the aftercare with me in depth and I really appreciated it. I've had a bad experience with the other piercers in the area that clearly did not know what they were doing. She goes ABOVE AND BEYOND in caring for her clients and really helping them to take proper care of the piercing. I highly, highly recommend this shop. I haven't had a single issue with the piercing and that's saying a lot since I have highly sensitive ears. They use surgical grade steel too! Don't waste your time or money on any other places in this area. I didn't know what I was missing until I went there. I will be back!! read more

giving this business a 1 star just for the fact that they are not COVID conscious at all. i got my doubles pierced in June of 2020 (right before the statewide mask mandate) and not a single employee was wearing a mask. the receptionist was rude, unhelpful, and condescending. when it came time to get the actual piercing, i was reluctant to take off my mask (because, ya know, were in a motherf'ing PANDEMIC), the owner and her assistant (who kept wiping her nose with her gloves on and touching the sterile piercing equipment) would not help me to keep my mask on at all and basically gave me no choice but to take it off. i understand it's difficult to pierce with a mask on, but i'm sure if they actually cared about their client having a decent, safe experience they would have tried a little harder. i wasn't going to write a review for this place until i came across another review from a month ago (Dec. 2020) stating that the owner does not enforce her employees to wear masks, even with the statewide mask mandate that's been in place for several months and the rapidly rising COVID numbers. with all of that being said, if you care about your health and safety, find another piercing studio that has the decency and cares enough about their clients' well-being to wear a damn mask. shame on you all. *update to respond to the owner: patty, i am not the one who is uneducated regarding COVID-19 and mask wearing. YOU are. look at the CDC website and take a microbiology course or two and get back to me. read more

Today was my 18th birthday so I decided to get my belly button pierced. It was honestly the best decision I ever made even though I was nervous. They were so nice and loving, and I would recommend anybody to come here! I definitely will be coming back. Thank y'all so much for making this birthday one of the best read more

Receptionist and lady who did piercing were nice and professional. The owner was rude and abrasive. Covid is here and the owner doesn't require employees to wear masks. The owner rants and raves while you are there about mask wearing. I requested that a person wear a mask while being so close to me during piercing and it was as if she had been asked to handover her first born. If you can't take safety precautions to protect your customers then you shouldn't be open. Mask mandate is in place in our area; this does not exclude you. read more

Patty pierced me at a previous shop and I just happened to stumble across her new one on Instagram! I had to go back and see her. Her story is incredibly as is her artistry, and she is one of the friendliest people I've ever met. She does a great job of being patient, making her clients feel comfortable, and in providing detailed aftercare. She pierced my cartilage and also handled a change out for me after my piercing. Both were quick and easy! I am going back for another piercing soon and will only have her change out my jewelry for me! Looooove Patty! You're missing out if you go anywhere else! read more

I love the owner Patty! It's obvious she's passionate and loves what she does! She is knowledgeable and has an eye for perfect placement of piercings. The store front also has an amazing and unique aesthetic! I'm looking forward to my next piercing with her! read more

I would give higher than 5 stars if I could! Patty is amazing! This is such a cute and fun shop. The staff is upbeat and welcoming, super sweet and extremely helpful with anything and everything you need! I love the atmosphere and would highly recommend getting pierced here!! read more

DO NOT go here, if i could give zero stars i would. i came in around the beginning of march to get my philtrum pierced. it was done at the completely wrong angle (the back of the piercing was literally visible from my lip when it should be tucked inside, meaning it was so crooked it was almost vertical) because of this angle issue the surface of the piercing was irritated the entire time i had it in. the constant tugging tore the surface of my cupids bow up. mind you this was at the beginning of march and i just now got fed up with the soreness and pain and decided to remove the jewelry after following the advice of a more reputable piercer (INSTANT relief btw.) not to mention when we were in the shop the owners husband was spouting off bullsh*t about how COVID is fake and no one who works in the shop is vaxxed. i have had other successfully healed piercings with the same aftercare routine so if you value your health find another piercing studio. read more

Had my nose pierced in december and it healed wonderfully. Going back to get more!

Patty is awesome! The shop is cute and very clean. I took my daughter in for a nose piercing and my daughter said Patty instantly put her at ease. For her to say that means a lot folks! We will definitely be back! Thanks Patty! read more

I would absolutely rate higher than five stars if I could, but I can't even begin to tell y'all how AMAZING the folks at the magic needle are. It's a bit of a long story, but hang in and let me tell y'all every reason why the magic needle is exactly where you should go for clean, friendly, and expert piercing experiences. About a year ago I got two piercings at a shop in my college town. Far away from Mckinney, very pay and leave, pretty sketchy environment. Originally I was given basically no aftercare information, and no recommendations on how to actually take care of a piercing. Fast forward to now and tragedy strikes. My dog snags a piercing on her claw while we're playing and I get a tear that quickly becomes violently infected and disgusting. I go to my doctor and she basically shrugs, prescribes antibiotics and suggests I see a piercer. I normally can count on the doctor for just about anything but now I'm lost, with a gnarly infection and completely at a loss for what to do. I frantically called around to several shops and was met but rude or completely uninterested employees until the MAGIC happened. Not even past the second ring, the magic needle picks up and greets me in a friendly and welcoming manner. While I'm panicking on the phone the front desk employee patiently calms me downs and tells me to come in so they can see how they can help. In a bit of a frenzy I do just that, absolutely panicking. Not only did they quickly find the time to help me in my hour of urgency, but everyone there made my day and my experience 100% better. The front desk chatted with me and cheered me up, telling me about her adorable pittie and helping me get my mind out of the panic bin. She was not only friendly, but astounded me with her pure patience, kindness, and words of encouragement. I was already awestruck at the difference between my past bad experience with piercers and the staff at the magic needle. The shop itself was smaller than I expected but had a safe, cozy, and CLEAN feel that most piercing shops lack. I watched the staff clean the piercing booth and prep new sterile equipment for each customer that entered the booth. Already, I knew I would be coming back. Then I meet the magic woman herself, Patty absolutely is a fairy godmother hiding among us with a complete boss lady aesthetic to match. When I walked back to the booth I got hit with anxiety left over from my previous experience at the bad piercer, but Patty talked to me kindly and warmly, instantly helping me realize that this was someone I could trust. Working gently, but effectively she patiently checked my piercings, walked through me with what had happened, what had been going wrong with my piercings, cleaned up the mess that was there, and taught me about actual aftercare and helping fix up the mess that was the past piercings. For the first time in my life I felt like my botched piercings could actually be corrected, and that I could actually feel beautiful with them like I had originally hoped when I got them. Beyond just helping me set things on the right path, Patty prepared me better than I could have ever expected and proved to be one of the most generous and amazing people I've met in life. While I was absolutely 100% a panicking mess walking in to the shop, I was able to leave feeling confident, cared for, and having experienced some of the best customer service of my life. I will always recommend the magic needle to anyone whos considering piercings in the Mckinney area ( and if you're a little farther, I assure you it is worth the travel). My two week follow up is still a ways off but I'm already feeling loads better and starting to see a difference in how quality care can actually make such a difference. read more

My sister visited The Magic Needle after getting a tragus piercing at another shop that had become infected. Patty took extra care to look at the piercing, explain what was going on, and suggest a recommendation for what to do next. Then, she switched out the jewelry with ease, and provided extensive after care instructions. Patty was incredibly thorough and it quickly became clear that piercing is her passion and expertise. Plus, the shop itself is clean and stylish. We will definitely return in the future and would highly recommend this shop. Thank you so much, Patty! read more

Patty was amazing and did such a great job on my nose piercing!! I had no pain and it healed so fast! She was a fast responder when I had questions! I would for sure recommend and go back again! read more

My 10 year old got her lobes pierced here today and we were very happy with the experience. The piercer is extremely knowledgeable and has high standards for her shop. They have plans to add more jewelry selections soon. They were super friendly and want to make this a great place to get your piercings. I'm sure we will be back! read more

Patty is amazing at what she does! Amazing experience, very easy-going, and I will definitely be back. I got my cartilage and Tragus pierced. I'm excited to have a local place to go to! I was thinking about getting my ear pierced for a while and had the Pin Cushion as my go-to for some time after reading great reviews. Of course, I finally decided to get this done New Year's Eve, and the Pin Cushion was closed. Yelp recommended this place and I'm so thankful I found it! Patty was thorough about the aftercare instructions and even though she was in a rush she still took the time with you. She is genuine! read more

Patty is awesome! I've had a lot of piercings & she definitely is my favorite place! Highly recommend.

This place deserves ZERO stars! Do not go here unless you want to pay $300 in doctor visits, treatment and medication!!! I saw Patty about 2 months ago for an infected conch piercing I had done 8 months prior (piercing was not done by them) and I just wanted the earring out because I couldn't take it out on my own. She had to replace the hoop with a long bar to contain the infection for 2 weeks before I could remove it for good. I paid $60 for that and a metal earring ball that was left in my freaking ear! As she was changing the jewelry and screwing the little metal ball on the bar earring she lost the ball! She said it must've fell on the floor and asked her assistant for a new one. I thought it was weird but thought SURELY she would tell me if that went in my ear. 6 weeks later I wake up to ear pain and some loss of hearing. Freaked out, I saw my PCP that day and you know what she saw.... A LITTLE METAL BALL ON MY EAR DRUM. After an hour of irrigation she couldn't get it. I was then referred to an ENT who tried to get it out but was worried she would rupture my ear drum as she couldn't tell if skin on my ear drum had grown over the earring so I had to see another ENT the following morning because my ear was so irritated. I was prescribed an antibiotic-steroid ear drop. I was so angry and upset I couldn't even call The Magic Needle that day to tell them what they did because I couldn't even talk about it without crying because of Patty's straight up carelessness! Thank god the next morning the ENT said it must've fell out in my sleep because all he saw was a blood blister and it didn't look like the pictures that was taken the day before. Today (2 weeks later) was my follow up and I still have a scab on my ear drum. NEVER GO TO THESE PEOPLE!!! THEY ARE HORRIBLE!! This place sure is magic..... now you see it, now you DON'T! read more
