I would recommend this shop to anyone interested in getting any piercings. Lovely place and lovely staff :)

My first time at Nine Moons Piercing and what an amazing experience with Elaine. 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.

I made an appointment and paid the $100 reservation fee online. I was reminded several times of my appointment. There is a website and Ms. Smith has an Instagram account with many photos of her work. There are many 5-star reviews here on Yelp. I live in New Mexico, where piercings are done in tattoo parlors by rough-looking men. That wasn't the experience I wanted. Ms. Smith is thoroughly professional and competent. She spent time with me concerning my previous earlobe piercings, which had closed up over time. She went over the earrings choices with details about stones and white vs. yellow gold. I never felt rushed. I ended up purchasing two sets of lightning bolt earrings with tiny stones, one pair in each gold color. She was meticulous in positioning and marking my lobes. The actual piercing of both ears was quick and almost painless. I was given an instruction card detailing home care of the new piercings. Clinical Ear Piercing by Rachel Smith offers a very professional and comfortable client experience. I highly recommend this business.

My almost 5 year old daughter decided she really wanted to get her ears pierced one day so I found…read morethis place - also recommended in local mom groups - and we loved it!

She walked out skipping and smiling and so excited to show everyone her pretty new earrings. Highly recommend!

The piercer helped me decide if the piercing would work with my ear anatomy and I really appreciate her taking the time to make sure the piercing would work before we began. I decided on the Daith piercing which can be a little spicy in the best of times. My piercer took her time, explained every step of the process, and the piercing went smoothly. After she was finished, she told me how to take care of my new piercing and answered all my questions-and there were a lot of questions. Overall, I am very pleased and will go back again.

My daughter received a total of 3 piercings and I received one piercing - paid north of $700. The first time one of my daughter's piercings fell out, they fixed it with no questions asked, no documentation needed. It fell out again this morning, the person who helped us EVERY SINGLE TIME, asked for an original receipt before they put the piercing back in. We didn't have the original receipt and they only had the signed waivers (seriously?!?!?). The person who rang us out each time said the person who rang us out (you) must have not sent you the original receipt and the waivers aren't enough. We showed him the receipt where they fixed it a couple weeks ago and we weren't asked for documentation then and he still refused to perform the service without payment. We paid him the $65 and he told us to take it up with corporate (we will be) and kept saying how nice he was and we shouldn't be angry. The piercer had the nerve to want a tip after this interaction. Good luck with that! Niceness + incompetence doesn't = great customer service. Stay far away from this place.

The…read moreplace was empty and the artists, including who I presume to be the owner, were quick to help me out. I requested a black tattoo consisting of 3 numbers, 2" wide on my arm and was quoted $100 flat which is their minimum. The owner made a copy of my ID and the tattoo artist (sorry I forgot your name) confirmed the font and size. I waited less than 10 mins and was done within 15 mins. The lines are clean and exactly what I wanted. I also left a 20% tip. They use saniderm which I'm also a fan of. Thank you so much for my tattoo, I love it! Wish I had come across this place sooner so I could get more.

The piercer: 5 stars. She's an actual RN, she was kind, explained everything, she was reassuring…read morethroughout and I really appreciated that. I told both the piercer and manager upfront that I'm allergic to stainless steel and titanium. I was specifically assured that the bar, the part that actually goes through the ear, was solid 14 karat gold. It wasn't. It was stainless steel. I was also told the back was a screw back, but it was just a pop back. Weeks later, when my piercing wasn't healing, I had it removed and that's when I discovered the truth. For someone with metal allergies, this is a serious and potentially harmful. As for the manager -- he was rude when we walked in, didn't say hello and just asked if I had an appointment, but that paled in comparison to how he treated a grandmother who had come in excited to wait for her daughter and granddaughter for the little girl's very first ear piercing. He was really rude to her, and that's not okay. That's a memory-making moment for a family, and she deserved so much better than that.

My first piercer (2024?) was a guy-- I didn't get his name-- but then Tetiana did my most recent piercing (March 2026). And I'd highly recommend either of them as piercers! The prices here are a bit high, in my opinion... the cheapest price for two basic, "starter" earlobe piercings was ~$110. But I feel like the price is worth it because they are super sterile, surgical-grade, extremely knowledgeable in any piercing placement, and seem like they have many years of experience, no matter which piercer you go to. They're super thorough and sterile with everything, which obviously matters most. I highly recommend and will continue to go back in the future!

The selection is rather vast, even amongst more affordable price ranges without being faulty on quality, which I found was pleasantly surprising. Staff here seemed knowledgable regarding my situation (conch jewelry from another shop fell out and wanted to replace it whatever tickled my fancy here). They recommended me a bunch of options and after I picked out my piece I was good to go. It was around $60 total for a little conch jewelry that was both threadless and just the right size. I would 1000% go back here if I needed jewelry in a pinch or wasn't looking for a specific piece in particular. It has both high-end quality pieces and many other somewhat affordable options as well. As they don't promote low quality jewelry, I don't expect to spend anything less than $30 a piece.
