I had a terrible experience getting my nose stud changed to a hoop at this shop. For context, the…read morepiercing is 2 years old and had been fully healed for a year. The piercer tried to remove my original jewelry without checking the gauge and mistaked my threadless stud for a screw-top. She had so much trouble removing it that she used two pliers, causing unnecessary trauma to my piercing. Then, she eyeballed the size and inserted a hoop that was clearly too small, causing my nose to bleed further. She then replaced it with a second hoop, again without confirming the proper gauge. My piercing ended up bleeding throughout the entire night. Because the piercer seemed to lack experince, I sought a second opinion who confirmed the gauge was too large and the material wasn't hypoallergenic. I returned to the shop where they refused responsibility, saying they didn't need to confirm my guage because they "know their guages" and dismissed my concerns by saying "all piercers talk sh*t." They've refused to issue a refund despite the clear mishandling. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for safe or professional piercing services.

I absolutely LOVE solid gold tattoo. Danielle has been doing my tattoos for YEARS. I refuse to let…read moreanyone else besides her, do my tattoos. Her vibe and personality is amazing, she's not heavy-handed on the needle, she takes her time and she's honestly very patient if you're needing a break or a moment to just get up and take a quick stretch. Needles are always sanitized, freshly opened. Target area is always cleaned and shaved before the session starts and Danielle always makes sure I'm super comfortable and ready before starting. Overall, everyone in the shop is very nice. Helpful and friendly but Danielle is just my personal go-too lady. I do believe the prices have increased since COVID but it is what it is. Quality over quantity. If you're ever in the Elmont area and looking for a great tattoo shop that you won't regret .. Stop by Solid Gold, they do accept walk-ins! Thank you S.G.T for years of amazing work

I cannot overstate how welcoming and professional the team at South Shore is. After reading some…read morestellar reviews and looking at online portfolios I was genuinely impressed with what I saw of Jesse's work. I had a vision of what I wanted done as a tribute to my sons and from my initial inquiry through the finishing touches they helped me bring it to life. Communication was spectacular every step of the way - I shared an overview of what I was looking for through those first texts which paved the way for a terrific consultation where Jesse took the time to go over everything, let me know what he needed from me, and provided some great resources for picking out the right font, even providing helpful pointers for what to look for in different fonts so that it would continue to look great for years to come. On arrival day of Jesse already had a mockup ready to go and was more than accommodating with some minor changes I wanted done. I can't say the process was painless for obvious reasons but it was as smooth as one could ever hope for. The work was clean, the price was extremely fair, and I left with a piece I'm super happy with that has already received a bunch of compliments even though it's still in the healing phase. South Shore has my highest recommendation and has definitely won a repeat customer with me. Can't wait to do it again.

He literally checked every single drawer to find it for me. After searching, he only found 1 and offered me a discount if I wanted to wait a few days for him to order it for me. Not only did he take his time to mark my daughter's ears, he double and tripled checked it before showing me. After my daughter was screaming, he told me to take my time to calm her and don't rush out. While I was calming her, we had a great conversation. I learned a lot about his background and love for piercing. He truly is the perfect person for this job. I would definitely recommend this spot. They're located in green acres mall, across from bath and body works on the main level.

As I walked in I was greeted by both a sales assistant and Rebeca the owner. Both were very friendly and accommodating, and within a few minutes, I had beautiful sparkly studs in my ears. I was very pleased with how meticulous Rebeca was on making sure the holes were even, she even pulled out a little ruler to measure. The piercing was pretty painless (it was my third hole so I'm kinda a pro.) I was really happy with my experience. It's a calm environment which I think would be good for kids. You are given a cleaning lotion and instructions how to keep them clean and infection free! I am pretty sure they do cartilage piercing on the ear also. Beside the ear piercing, they have a ton of cute accessories to browse. I ended up getting a necklace that have been searching for after seeing it on a girl at the Belmont Stakes. Thanks to Rebeca and Zaraz for a great ear piercing and a cute necklace to go with my summer wardrobe! Also love to keep my business in Lynbrook. I most def recommend Zaraz for ear piercing!

I've been wanting…read moreto get a tragus piercing but after hearing some horror stories, I knew I had to do research before getting it done and Nine Moons Piercing kept coming up on my searches. After selecting the jewelry, I'm in the room with Elaine and everything was explained to me thoroughly. There was such a joyful warmth in how Elaine spoke that it completely relaxed me. A couple of deep breaths and I was expecting a pain level between 5-6 but believe it or not, it was like maybe a 1-2 and I think part of that is Elaine's experience with placement as well as her technique. I am so happy with the result and that I went through this with Elaine and Nine Moons Piercing.
