I have a variety of piercings and have been to a variety of high-end/professional piercing studios…read more(and, I'll be honest, I even have a couple piercings from back in the day - remember getting your first piercings from Claire's at the mall?! Or am I aging myself?). Dorje Adornments is BY FAR one of the best experiences I've ever had - if not THE best, honestly. From the time you make your appointment until the time you walk out the studio door after your appointment is complete, the level of service-mindedness, attentiveness, and overall care is top notch. The staff are ALL amazing (special shoutouts to Jack, who helped me pick out all my jewelry before my appointment began, and Lynda, who chatted with me about jewelry before my appointment and also helped me at the desk after the completion of my piercings). Due to a scheduling conflict with the piercer I previously selected on a whim, I ended up working with Nick (the owner) on my piercings themselves, and he just made me feel so cared for throughout my entire experience, kept me incredibly well informed throughout the process and in discussions about aftercare, and was just so lovely and relatable and delightful to talk to. I told him that the vibe in his shop was just *amazing* and I 100% meant it... and clearly, I'm not the only one. There's even a sparkly little sticker on the checkout table that says "the vibes are immaculate". They really are! I'm so in love with my new piercings (2 helix & 1 forward helix) and plan to return to Dorje in about 3 months to get the posts adjusted. I won't be surprised if I end up purchasing a new jewelry piece or two at the time of that next visit either... their jewelry selection is stunning. TL;DR The staff, the experience, the cleanliness/design of the studio itself. The vibes are truly immaculate. Definitely my go-to piercing studio from now on.

The service here is very efficient, professional, and friendly. You text when you are at the door…read morefor your scheduled appointment time. Someone lets you in and introduces you to your jewelry consultant, who shows you the pieces that will work for your piercing. They have you sit on a couch while they get your piece ready and then let you know when the piercer is ready for you. It's a pretty chill vibe. It is quite pricey, but I feel like my piercing came out well and was done by someone who knew what they were doing.

If I could give more stars I would!!! Our experiences with Andie over the years have been nothing…read moreshort of incredible. Back in 2024, when my middle daughter was about to turn 8, we went to Andie for her first ear piercing. As my daughter's nerves grew, Andie's patience somehow doubled. She coached her through one lobe, and when my daughter decided she wasn't ready for the second, Andie didn't push -- she supported her wholeheartedly and celebrated her choice to wait. Fast forward to last week: my other two daughters decided they wanted their ears pierced as well. We went back to Andie, and she guided my oldest through double piercings and gently worked with my youngest, who needed a little extra time and confidence. We returned the next day, and she did it! Then came my middle daughter -- the one who had only one lobe pierced since 2024. Seeing her sisters succeed gave her the courage to try again. After an hour and a half of pep talks during one visit, and then another 2 1/2 hours during our most recent appointment, she finally became a two‑earring girl! Andie was right there with us the entire journey -- patient, encouraging, emotionally invested, and truly cheering her on. She was nearly in tears with pride, just like I was. You can see that this isn't just a job for Andie. She pours her heart and soul into every single person she works with. She cares deeply, she loves what she does, and she strives for absolute excellence in every interaction. I would recommend Andie to ANYONE. You will not be disappointed -- she is one of a kind!

Wouldn't recommend. Unprofessional, untrustworthy, and operates with no integrity. There are plenty…read moreof piercers around here that actually take themselves seriously and care about their customers.

I have 47 piercings in counting and almost all but 5 of them were done at this shop. I absolutely…read morelove the service especially Courtney, Craig and Lexi. They're all sweethearts and I appreciate how they are honest on the reality of some piercings especially the ones that are more prone to rejection or anatomy dependent. I've been going here for about a year now and will definitely keep coming and would 100% recommend this shop to anyone wanting to get pierced. They also have gold jewelry which I greatly appreciate as I am a gold girly and it's hard finding gold jewelry at other shops. The vibes of the shop make the nerves of the piercing instantly wash away. Go get pierced here !!

I took my granddaughter to get a second ear piercing today. We got there a few minutes after it…read moreopened, and it was already very busy. I put her name on the list and sat down. It was a fairly lengthy wait, but hey, they were busy. They were busy for a reason. They called me up, took my i.d. had her look at the earrings they had available, and I signed the waiver? or permission to pierce paper. We were told they were sanitizing the, and we'd be called back. There was one person in front of us, which took hardly any time at all. I think the piercer's name was Christine (?). She was super nice, quick, and efficient. job getting my granddaughter's nerves calmed. She was at ease almost right away. I'd recommend Pink Armadillo and HAVE. I had my piercings done here, and even though it's about a 40-45 minute drive, it's the only place we'll go for piercing.
