If youre looking for a professional, quality experience, look no further. The staff here are amazing, and the quality of work is phenomenal. The jewlery selection is great too. Staff will give you great treatment and ensure you know how to care for your new piercing or tattoo. Hands down, best piercing studio in the city. Marc has been piercing me for over a decade and I fly from out of state so he can. Rhett we 2 we 333333333 e5 3 e5 34pl

Love all of my piercings and everyone was so friendly! Also a super clean environment where I am completely confident in their abilities! (I also went back because one was swollen--my fault 100%-- and they were super helpful and nice!

Always a pleasure going here! This place is sooooo clean, and filled with polite, knowledgeable individuals. You will not just receive a piercing. You will get aftercare instructions, be given a saline solution to take home, emails and support for if you have any piercing trouble. I wouldnt trust anyone else to pierce me. I have moved to Florida, and i STILL WAIT till i visit Mass just to go to them for any jewelry changes or piercings. Awesome place!

Very professional experience! The front staff was well informed and friendly and so was the piercer. The way the shop is organized is so much nicer than many shops Ive been to. My piercer was wonderful as well. I cant wait to get healed up and go back. I had my daith pierced.

I came here with a friend of mine so that she could get a naval piercing and it was a great experience. They let us know the risks and everything that could happen and made us feel secure. The workers were nice too and very professional. They’ll basically pierce anything so they’re the ones to go to :)

This was an amazing experience! I was seen fairly quickly and my piercer was Ismael. while getting both earlobes and nose pierced, Ismael created a comfortable, relaxing environment. I was told by friends that this place is the go-to for good piercings and warm/welcoming/kind piercers. I highly recommend the Piercing Emporium.

Great selection of jewelry, knowledgeable staff. The person that did the piercing, Emrys, was friendly and did a fantastic job. I am so happy with how my nose turned out. Thanks!

Review №10

Prior to the piercing they made sure I knew exactly what I was getting into, and made sure I knew the risks instead of just doing it for the money. During the piercing I was allowed to take the time to decide exactly where I wanted and the piercer allowed me to change my mind several times before my final decision. Directly after, the piercer made sure I was okay (not pale, able to stand and walk) and allowed me to take some time to get my bearings after getting 3 piercings. Overall the staff was very attentive and polite.

Amazing place to get piercings done! I got my second lobe piercings and cartilage piercing done here. I absolutely love them! The staff are so friendly and the jewelry is high quality. I went somewhere else for my nose piercing and hated it so much I cried. I went to piercing emporium and they switched out the jewelry in the piercing for me! Incredible place! I plan on getting all my future piercings here.

I haven’t gotten pierced here but will in the near future. I emailed and called so many shops over the past two weeks and kept getting no’s to my question. Finally called Piercing Emporium and they explained per guidelines they couldn’t help me at this time. The level of professionalism is beyond words. They went into detail both over the phone and in a email.

Review №21

I called ahead to have a nose ring changed with my own jewelry as soon as I walked in they couldn’t use my own jewelry I had to buy there jewelry. 205.00 dollars later I walked outta there so upset and disgusted by them telling me one thing then not doing it so I’ll have to buy their jewelry that wasn’t even pretty for that amount of money I walked out. I only wanted my nose ring changed I didn’t want to spend two hundred dollars doing it ...

Every staff person was exceptional! My daughter finally consented to allow my granddaughter to get her ears pierced! She was so excited!! Staff spoke to Emma, not us. It was great. They made sure SHE wanted to be there. I loved it! Yes there was a very long wait but it was worth it. Now that I have experienced it there I wouldnt go anywhere else. 100% satisfied.

I got my daughters ears pierced here. The process was very easy, quick pain free. Staff were nice. The woman who pierced her ears was very careful and got the hole done on spot. But price is very high, for small earings and the piercing is $118. Its just the one not-so -good thing about here.

Review №39

Amazing for piercing my daughters ears! Mark was a PLEASURE to work with. Professional, wonderfully explaining the process to my child and myself. Extremely knowledgeable about piercing. The Piercing Emporium is EXTREMELY clean, and the piercing and tattoo rooms have sterile sections (a process they take seriously). I had an issue where my daughters earring topper came off, I called and was able to be seen the same day by Mark. I highly recommend the Piercing Emporium, without reservation.

I dont normally write reviews but I was so impressed by this place! Both my daughters (ages 6 and 11) got their ears pierced and Marc walked me and my daughters through the process so carefully and professionally. My daughters were at such ease because he obviously knows his stuff and did a great job. Seriously do not look elsewhere....this place is unbeatable.

I’ve been coming to Piercing Emporium for 18 years. I recommend it to everyone who is interested. You won’t find a better establishment for your piercing needs than Piercing Emporium, and Marc is just as amazing. Marc and his staff are highly educated and trained and explain each step they take while in the process. You won’t want to go anywhere else after you’ve experienced a piercing here!

I have known Marc for years and he is the best of the best. Super friendly but when it comes to the business he is a text book of knowledge and has such a calming demeanor.... can’t praise this shop enough. This staff is obviously deeply passionate about their work and go to great lengths go ensure an safe, healthy and all around greatest experience for the customer and it shows. I also love the jewelry they sell in their display cases. Would recommend to all family And friends.

Review №51

Without a doubt the best place to go for any piercing or tattoo. Me and all my kids go here. Marc is the most knowledgeable and professional person I know when it comes to any piercing or tattoo needs. You would never leave with any questions unanswered and comfortable knowing the answer you received is the correct one. Ive been going to him since he first started and wouldnt trust going anywhere else for myself or childrens piercings or tattoos.

For my daughter to have her 2nd lobe done..we had a loooong wait (little over 2 hours)..however the staff was SUPER friendly and very knowledgeable.

I’ve been a client for over a decade and the staff and owner strive to go above and beyond for each customer. Everyone gets the same amount of attention and care; the staff are kind and courteous.The establishment is extremely clean and hygenic. I can not speak highly enough of this establishment and it’s owner, Marc is hands down one of the greatest,friendliest, most professional people I’ve ever met. I would never go to any other establishment. If I could give ten stars I would!!

Review №63

One stop for any tattoo design. If youre going go get your first tattoo then I strongly suggest that Piercing Emotion is your only destination.The most important thing as per my understanding is capturing the expectation of the person who wants to get the tattoo and the design has to match those expectations. Piercing Emporium nailed it. I walked into the studio with an open mind and explained the design I am expecting. The final design was amazing and I am happy that I chose this place. A professional place with a friendly touch. They will clarify all the doubts a first timer might have regarding tattooing. Best tattoo place.

Recently I went in to get my septum pierced, which is now my seventh piercing from the Piercing Emporium. It is the only place I will go to get pierced. They are clean, professional, organized, and personable. I have always left satisfied and in love with my new piercing. They use medical grade titanium for piercings, which I love. I cannot recommend them enough. Sometimes there is a bit of a wait, but it is understandable and completely worth it for the excellent service. I highly recommend giving the Piercing Emporium a try.

For me it’s no contest, hands down you go to the Piercing Emporium!

Review №76

I had my conch, took, & nostril jewelry changed out with my own existing jewelry on 2/15/20. The chance included a LeRoi 3 stone cluster in my conch piercing which I previously wore for 9 months with no issues. Today (2/22/20), the threaded cluster fell out of the labret stud because it wasnt properly screwed into the post. Im now out the cost of the $10 change fee at Piercing Emporium, plus the $50 cost of the cluster that was lost, plus the $8 cost of having the conch piercing changed out to the stone I wanted to change last week.

The wait took a while most likely due to patriots day being a day before but it was most definitely worth the wait! They do a phenomenal job and the workers there are so nice and calming.

The piercing emporium in Worcester is the only place I will ever consider getting pierced ever again! The staff at the front desk are very well educated and will NEVER steer you in the wrong direction when it comes to choosing the proper jewelry for your new or current piercings. I’ve had the most interaction with Kelly, she is truly an asset to the piercing emporium. The atmosphere of the piercing emporium is very welcoming. It is well lit, extremely clean and family friendly. I’ve had the absolute pleasure of having piercers Mark and Ed do their magic. They are both exceptionally kind, patient, professional, talented, relaxed.. absolutely amazing! The waits can sometimes be long on the weekends but it is because the piercers take pride in their work. They want to give everyone their undivided attention, the proper care and experience. I promise it is well worth the wait!

I really like how they display their jewelry by piercing types. They hooked me up with new earring for an old piercing that finally feels great after several years of wrong sizes. I will definitely go here for all my future piercings. Try to make an appointment ahead of time because they are super busy. Didnt have to wait too long though even as a walk in.
