Reviews of The Piercing Parlor
Anna Miller
Ashley did a fantastic job on my 7 year old daughter's ears! She talked her through everything. She made her very comfortable. Great experience! 1000% recommend.
Abra Vicious
Took my 9 (almost 10) year old daughter to get her ears pierced. Extremely friendly staff! I cannot stress enough how nice they were, particularly Ana! She took extra time with my girls (even the 2 that weren't getting piercings), talked with them, showed them around, and gave lollipops! 😊 I consider that "above and beyond"
Very patient with my daughter, explained the entire process before doing anything, answered her (many) questions, and went at her pace. They offer tandem piercings which in my personal opinion is great for a child that may be a little nervous.
I was able to make an appointment, which was very convenient for us considering we live over an hour away, but they do take walk-ins as well. I highly recommend allowing them to handle your piercing needs! We'll definitely be back!
Kay Bowman
I came in yesterday with my friend and we both are so impressed! My friend got her septum pierced, and I got a double helix piercing. The piercer was super kind, made it quick and easy for us both, and both of our piercings were reasonably priced! The shop was very clean as well and the receptionist at the front desk was very friendly and made me feel welcomed. I highly recommend and I can’t wait to come back to finish my ear stack here!
Tori Jones
I got my trangus pierced by Ashley! It was my first time getting a needle piercing and she was so helpful through the process. The front desk lady helped pick out a piercing that matched my preexisting ones! I will definitely be returning for more!
Michelle Betts
This place is amazing! Took my daughter here to get her ears pierced and the staff was so professional and kid friendly! Ana was the piercer and she made my daughter feel so comfortable and walked us through every step of the way (kid friendly version). If you’re looking for a clean and highly trained, professional environment- then this is your place!
Jessica Mccartha
It's been a while since I got my piercing but healing was a breeze. I had Alex and they were great! The wait was the longest part. They were incredibly informative throughout the process explaining every motion and step. I realize it's personal experience, but relatively painless. This shop came highly recommended by my SIL and I will be doing the same. The desk was also great about answering questions after the fact when I'd call. I did a lot of research about it prior, bc I'm a nerd, and by all accounts Alex nailed it.
Erin Shafer
My son, husband, and I all received piercings from Ashley today! She was great! Very quick and efficient and personable. I has a nostril, and septum done, and ear lobes for my husband and son. She paid great attention to evenness and placement. 10/10!
Briana Reid
If I could rate 10 stars, I would! Best piercing experience I've ever had, the shop was clean and inviting and prices are best in town. Ashley is amazing and so great to talk with and Morgan really puts a smile on your face! I will be back
Frauke Frank
Great experience!
Went in to get another set of double nostrils and everything went super smoothly. Everybody was very nice, welcoming and professional. The place is well decorated and very clean! I don’t have a single bad thing to say. Would go back to see Ashley anytime!
Marie Baker
They’re amazingly honest with their work and communicate the whole process with you! I’ve gotten several piercings done by them and they all turned out flawless. If you’re looking for a good piercing spot, go to them!! 10/10!
Tori Green
Absolutely loved our experience with Daryonna and Lolita! They ensured that my daughter was well informed and comfortable! Environment was clean and professional! Customer service was great as well! Highly recommended. A great first time experience for my daughter and that was really important for me!
Johanna Poole
I got my nips pierced yesterday, they were very professional and nice. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. Even tho I was in for such a short time they didn’t make me feel rushed at all. Afterwards they offered me water and to sit down when I started to feel dizzy. I will definitely be going back
Brianna Blair
I went in today to get my nostril pierced and was kindly greeted as soon as I walked in. It was really cute and clean on the inside. Everything went very smoothly and I was in and out within 20 minutes. Would highly recommend.
Arielle Ashley
I recently got my VCH done here at the piercing parlor by Ms. Ashley. She was super nice, informative and FAST ! The establishment was clean, from the bathroom to the front door. This is not my first time having something done at the piercing parlor and it won’t be the last. Highly recommend!
Megan Ray
We had such a great experience for my daughters first ear piercing. The ladies were professional and considerate and made my daughter feel very comfortable while getting it done perfectly.
M&M Drayton
Great customer service! Such a wonderful place to come for piercings or to get new jewelry. Everyone is kind and patient. This is the only piercing spot I go to now.
Kathryn McBryde
When I say this place is the absolute best, I mean it! I just moved to Irmo from Miami, FL & I have been to my fair share of piercing places over the years. However, none of them match up to The Piercing Parlor! Everyone is extremely welcoming. The studio itself is fun and inviting & every time I walk in i'm englufed in beaming smiles and joyful laughter.
Every time I have been in (a total of 3 so far) I have had the honor of being pierced by Lita. I feel so blessed to have been matched with her. She is so lively and will excite you and put your mind at ease all at the same time.
The first time I went in I had a case of the "I want to get a piercing NOW and I don't even know what to get!" mood. I ended up getting a double forward helix on one ear, a surface tragus on the other side of my face AND my bellybutton pierced. Lita made the whole experience amazing. She talked through her process so you knew exactly what to expect. Pain levels were to a minimum! She's quick and accurate.
I loved my new piercings so much that I came back on a whim to see Lita 7 days later to get another cartilage piercing!
The third time I showed up was yesterday afternoon. I rushed in because I accidently unscrewed one of my surface piercing gems while I was cleaning it and it went straight down the drain. You can't make these things up LOL. I was stressing and rushed in before work and ran right into Lita. She took me in straight away and helped me out so quick I was in and out in less than 10 minutes.
She's seriously the best and has earned a forever customer with me. I recommend her to everyone!
katie parker
I had Lita do my septum, and she was absolutely AMAZING! She was the kindest person ever and walked me through everything. I was terrified but she made it so much easier, and it didn’t even hurt!
Paula Evans
The staff was incredible. Best piercing experience ever! The shop was clean and well ran. Our piercer was fabulous!
Katherine Carson
Went here today for my second piercing and Nicole was so informative and helpful! I always have a great experience here. I love my new piercing.
Jennifer Lomax
Got my daughter's second lobe piercing today! Was happy with how great they all were, and will be back soon. Thank you!
Olivia Mynhier
Highly recommend!!! Incredibly friendly family owned business. They (Kara the piercer and her brother Frank) were super nice to me, incredible service, quick and easy. She definitely knows what she’s doing! Definitely coming back for my next piercing! (industrial in pic is what she did)
Taren R
I'll never go anywhere else for piercings. They are always clean, quick, friendly, and have lots of cute goodies in the gift shop section :)
Melinda White
My kiddo and I went in and they were awesome!!!! Very clean, professional and the place looks like instagram aesthetic threw up. Loved them
Certainly Becky
This was my first professional piercing (I had my ears done at Claire's and yes, now I know better). Everyone here was both professional and personable and that put me right at ease. The shop is beautiful and clean, exactly what you want to see. When I'm fully healed and decide what piercing I want next, I will definitely be back.
Maggie Sweet
I went in with my best friend today and we were welcomed by Frank at the front desk who checked us in quickly and answered all of our questions. The store is the CUTEST but we absolutely loved the customer service. Despite being a bit busy, every worker we spoke with was extremely attentive and kind. We were able to get in and out without any problems. Ana did an AMAZING job. She calmed us both down and was able to help us decide exactly what we wanted to do with our piercings. Overall, we had a 5 star experience today and are excited to go back! We ❤️ the piercing parlor!!
Lyndsey Collins
I got my nostril pierced by Lolita! She was super nice and informative with a very welcoming smile! The place is very cute and well decorated! I thought it was funny that the tumblers/cups they were selling with the ”adult phrases” were covered by sticky notes for the kids. They are very kid friendly! All around great experience! If I ever get another piercing, I will definitely be coming back here!
Lisa Gray
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE. Got my nose pierced and Deedee(not sure I spelled correctly) was AMAZING. Did not even feel it and she explained everything thoroughly. Can't wait to go back for other piercings I want.
Mike Patterson
Just what Irmo needed! Kara & MacKenzie are both so knowledgeable and friendly. They answered all my questions, even about piercings they didnt do. Great jewelry choice too!
Z Mac
If I could give them 10 stars I would my 4 year old got her ears pierced and they did amazing. Don’t take your baby to Claire’s!
Cesiah Y. Aguilar
Took my 7yr old for her ears to get pierced! They were super professional & kid friendly🙏🏼💓 I ended up getting nose pierced for me! Thank you so much! …
Laila Siamoore

Great customer service experience on the phone and in person. Explain very well and listens. Fast lovely decorations
Megan K
Got my nostril pierced and my daughter's ears pierced. Our experience was AWESOME. Frank greeted us as soon as we walked in and was extremely nice. Lita and Ashley did my daughter's ears and were super patient with her. (She's 4 so she was pretty nervous.) Lita also did my nostril and she was so quick! Walked us through every single step and was so kind. Go see Lita! She is awesome. Great atmosphere and great experience!
Cheyenne Elliott
I can’t recommend this place enough. Very welcoming, clean environment, and very nice staff. I got my cartilage and navel pierced. This was my 3rd attempt at a navel piercing (first time coming to this shop) because they all rejected. Well the lady who pierced it for my third attempt did a great job, however, there was too much skin since she had to avoid going through the scar tissue. When I called back a couple weeks later because there was red around the piercing from not enough room, the lady told me to come on in and she would put a longer bar for free. I’ve had the piercing for a year now and it has healed perfectly and I’m so thankful!!!! This will be the only place my friends and I will go for piercings from now on!!!!
Bri Towner
I’ve always gone to black lotus for all of my piercings and tattoos and since opening the piercing parlor I have not been disappointed! I took my friend here yesterday to get piercings together and Anya was amazing! She helped me decide what I wanted to get pierced and was so nice and comforting! If you are wanting a new piercing they are 100% your people! <3
Lara Pugh
I went here to get my belly button pierced and I am so pleased with the experience. Everyone was so nice and made me feel so comfortable. Even when I got light headed from it, they offered me water and were very patient. If your new to piercings or scared to get them I highly recommend this place. It was very clean and just a pleasent environment overall. 10/10
Naomi White
Everyone at The Piercing Parlor was extremely friendly! It was such a warm and comfortable environment from Frank at the front door helping get everything set up, to the Lovely Lolita who was so professional, kind, and funny. This is now the third time I’ve had my nose pierced over the years and was by far the best experience of anywhere I’ve been. Again thank you to Lolita and Frank for the special experience❤️
Shakeyla Boulware
This is my second time coming and they cease to amaze me. From the atmosphere to the customer service they were on point! Lita was AWESOME and very informative. The whole staff was ready for questions and inquiries ! The decor is tooooooo cute ! For your piercing pleasure hit them up because they will not disappoint!
Quintessa Campbell
I went with my sister to get her piercing done and when I say the customer service was excellent! The staff is amazing!!!! I spoke with Lita, they give you all the info about your piercing,after care , and just in cases! I've never been to such a thorough piercing place and the ambiance is soooo fun and cute!!! I will definitely make the trip from GA to have them do my next piercing!
Breighann Taylor Rose Swearingen
considering I got there an hour earlier than my appointment. they got to me super quick. The lady who pierced my nose understood my concern for being nervous. she explained everything to me and explained what was being done. all the ladies I met today were very professional. The place of business was super clean.
Emily Lanxton
Lita was amazing. She did my nostril piercing and I’m obsessed. I was a little nervous going in but she made me feel relaxed and excited. Highly recommend!
Virginia w
Ana was fabulous. She was kind and patient. Very knowledgeable and we felt like family. She was amazing with my 9 yr old niece. So caring and compassionate. I wish I could give 10 stars.
Shannon Brennan
My daughter got her lobes double pierced by Ashley. I can’t say enough wonderful things about everyone there. Very professional, clean, calm and comfortable atmosphere. Ashley made sure the new piercings were perfect, and they are. Everyone was super friendly and made for a great experience. We will definitely be back soon! I highly recommend coming here!
Megan Boykin
Ok Listen!!! The energy in this place is unmatched. As soon as you walk in it’s seriously like a breath of fresh air. The guy at the counter was so sweet and the lady who did my piercing (Lolita?) was 100% amazing. I was of course very nervous but there was something about her that seriously calmed any and all nerves I had down. She talked me through the entire process and by the time we were done I was seriously debating getting my second nostril done 😂 I would recommend this place to anyone. So if you’re questioning this shop over others in the area.. this one is it! Best piercing shop in the entire city. I can’t wait to go back in 6 months and get a cute lil ring 😍
Bipin Koirala
Loved going in. It's such a different vibe than you'd expect from a regular piercing parlor and I absolutely loved it. Ashley was very pleasant and helpful. Will definitely go back again if I'm getting any new ones or just need servicing with my old ones. Would definitely recommend!
Ashleigh Taylor
Lita pierced my nostril last night. Appointment was at 6:30. I was on the way home by 6:40. Didn’t hurt a bit. She was awesome. I’ll be bringing my daughter back in a few months when she turns 15. See you soon!
Ashley Kirsch
I had a great experience at The Piercing Parlor! I was able to get in and out quickly, everyone was incredibly nice and friendly. The front desk staff welcomed me and was able to answer all my questions. The piercer was quick and my piercing was nearly painless compared to other piercings I’ve had in the past. 10/10 would recommend and will be back!

I have never been disappointed by The Piercing Parlor. I have been 3 times, twice for new piercings and once for a jewelry removal & replacement. All of the times I have been pleased with the service, the staff, and the cleanliness of the workspace. I went in today to get a stuck earring removed & replaced, and she quickly took me back to the room and helped me to get it out without any pain. I prefer The Piercing Parlor any day over Immaculate Piercing or any other studio, the prices are better, and they definitely know what they’re doing and the best way to do it. Thank you, PP!
Cheyenne Scott
I cannot express how comfortable and happy I am with their service! I used to go to this other piercing shop and every time I went there I felt uncomfortable. This was my first visit and I wasn’t nervous at all. They performed a tandem piercing ( Ashley and Dee) on me and they were very professional! ⭐️ Barely any pain or discomfort. Fast and Sanitary. 100% recommend ⭐️ Definitely hoping to come back again !
Taylor Hatcher
I took my 6 year old to get her ears pierced last night. She was scared and cried most of the time. Lita and Ashley were so helpful and patient with her. They were amazing. This is a very clean and professional business as well. 10/10 recommend and will go there again for any piercing needs!
Angela Cox
They are great! So wonderful with my kids, and always happy to answer questions! Even months later!
Jessica Murphy
Can't speak highly enough about this place and the people who work there! I took my daughter (9 y.o.) to get her lobes pierced and got a helix piercing myself. The place is immaculate and very nicely set up. The people were kind, patient with explaining everything, and thorough to make sure that everything was done perfectly. Highly, highly recommend them!
Brittany Boone
AMAZING! From start to finish. The staff was very efficient, clean and made my daughters first piercing easy as could be. Would never go anywhere else.
Just A Mom
Amazing service and best prices around. The owner/piercer is so nice and made me feel super comfortable. I've been to many studios around Columbia and The Piercing Parlor is the BEST by far. I cannot recommended them enough.
Her jewelry selection is amazing and well priced. You should definitely check her out for any and all of your piercing needs!
Megan Drake
I went into this very scared with this being my first real piercing. The atmosphere was very calming and Ashley was so kind and funny and put me at ease. It was such a fast, clean, and welcoming place. Such a great experience, would definitely recommend!
Allen Verner
Great experience, staff was very professional and friendly. The piercer, Ana was fantastic.
Cole Pratt
ASHLEY did AMAZING!! She’s very professional and made me and my daughters experience great! My daughter got her ears pierced and she didn’t even flinch Ashley did such a great job with her! And made her feel so special. She did my septum and I didn’t even feel it! I definitely 100% recommend her! I will be going back! Thanks Ashley!
Nicole xoxo ❤️
Michal Reed
I got my nose pierced here almost 2 months ago and they did a fantastic job! They were quick, professional and clean. My piercer placed my stud in the perfect spot and double checked all of her equipment before starting. Not to mention they have a wonderful selection of jewelry! I would definitely recommend this parlor.
Calvin Corn
Took my daughter for a piercing and we enjoyed a few good laughs with the whole crew on site. I have no piercing my self but my daughter has been very happy with them both times she has gone.
Rebekkah H
Lolita did a fantastic job of re-piercing my belly button. She was very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable! I’ve had several piercings here and I love them all.
Jasmine Williams
Ashley did an amazing job on my tongue and nostril piercing today. Super nice facility, staff are laid back and friendly but professional! It was so quick and I could tell she knew her stuff. This place is a little further from me but I would definitely go again. I recommend!!
Meagan Hobgood
Hands down the best piercing place in Town! We have been 3 separate times ( 2 nose piercings and 1 belly piercing ). We have always been welcomed with a smile and had fast, efficient and professional service! The establishment is decorated so beautifully and the service is above and beyond! If I could give it 10 stars I would! They were so gentle and the pain way way less than other piercing places. I would recommend this above any other! Thanks for always doing a fabulous job!!
Stephanie Hannah
Very professional. Lita was fabulous. She pierced my daughter and took excellent care of her.
TOFU GIRL
Always a great experience here. I've gotten two helixes last year, and a daith just last week. The piercers are super informative and just great at what they do!! Probably my favorite piercing shop in the Columbia area :D
Amy Etsy Shop
Ana was amazing! She did such a good job on my double helix and was able to reopen my second holes. She was very smooth and gentle with the piercings that I barely left it!
Skye Moon
My friend and I went today to get our septums pierced. Lita was so nice and knowledgeable. Everyone else there was great too and the place was very clean. If I decide to get more piercings, I won't go anywhere else. Thank you!
Srose G
My mom and I visited here a few days ago, and our experience was terrific! I've never been to an actual piercing store, so I was especially nervous, but the store was beautiful, cozy, everything was clean, and the staff was very welcoming towards us. Kara was awesome! She was very patient and was very good at explaining what she was doing. She made the experience much less nerve-racking. I recommend going here, especially if it is your first time. You will have a pleasant experience here. Thank you so much, Kara!
Jean Brklich
Ana was wonderful. It had been 32 years since my last ear piercing and I decided I wanted another. She was professional and did a fantastic job. If I need/want another, I'd definitely go back.
Lannet Hackler
Highly recommend! Great experience. I took my daughter here to have her nose pierced by Ashley. She/they were awesome. My daughter did a lot of research before selecting them, but I still had lots of questions. They were very patient and helpful, answering all of my questions. Additionally, afterwards my daughter felt a little woozy from not eating. They were very caring, offered her a fruit snack and stayed with her. They gave her time to recover instead of pushing her out to the waiting room even though they had other customers waiting. Again, I highly recommend.
Ella Stilwell
Amazing piercing shop! Super clean and the wait was really short. It has a nice feel to it and the waiting room is really pretty! The actual piercing was pretty painless the piercer talked me through it the whole time. I got my nose pierced and barley felt it. She even put my mom daith piercing back in for her!
Niq Francis
First of all! I'm so so happy about this business! Kara, the owner has been my piercer for almost five years! She is amazing knowledgeable and absolutely cool. My drive is longer than the appointment! You need help after you leave she's got you. Every and anytime shes pierced me I've had no rejections no bumps or anything.
Absolutely love this woman's work and personality. I would always recommend this place to anyone. It's literally a 1hr or 3hrs if I'm in my other state and ill happily drive there!
Elizabeth Fulford
I really love the energy of the ladies in the shop! They were so pleasant & professional. Kara was so sweet & fun to talk to. I felt very welcomed & with the pandemic we in they are very clean & thorough... & I love that they do appointments! Definitely check them out... I know I will be going back for my next piercing. ❤️❤️
Carolyn Harari
We came to here to have my daughter’s ears pierced after an unfortunate experience with poor healing with a prior piercing. Everyone here was so nice and very helpful. It turns out we couldn’t pierce through the scar tissue present, but they made the sadness my daughter felt at hearing that easier to digest. They were honest, friendly and were kind in their explanation. I felt they had her best interest in mind. Hopefully we can come back once we have a surgeon look at her earlobes.
Miranda Smith
Everyone there was friendly from the second we walked in the door. My friend & I both had appointments & have already been planning our next one! Thanks Ashley, you were great! We'll be booking again soon!
Alexandria Delgado
Omg!! Best expierence at a piercing place ive ever had. Super easy, in and out, and the pricing is so reasonable! Especially for the aftercare. Will be coming back for any of my piercings AND sending my friends here. They are also so friendly!! I usuallyhave anxiety in social places but they made me feel comfortable and actually cared about the service. Highly recommend! Also my piercer was daryonna if anyone wanted to know! Love herr and frank at the front was very welcoming (had to exit because i forgot to remember names and just had time to look it up)
Update: this healing process is so much more easier and less nerve wracking then when i went to a different place. Wish i could give this place 100 stars
Miranda Hood
Got my industrial done today! What great experience. Love the little boutique inside, I found this cute little cow bag! 😍 …
ALove4People
My first nose piercing and the experience was wonderful. Thanks
Sarah Doyle
Great experience! I went here for quality cartilage earrings and had wonderful front desk help and the girl that placed them in was so kind! Cannot recommend this place enough! So clean and adorable decor that's so empowering!
Tatiana Huffines
I was just there today for a Helix piercing on my left ear and it was a great experience. The level of cleanliness and sterilization is higher than any where else I’ve been to. Ashley did the piercing and she was super awesome. She took her time to find the right placement so my new piercing could line up with my other ear. I will definitely be back in the future!
Karis Bland
I got my nostril pierced here and Kara did an AMAZING job. She was super sweet, explained the process and after care thoroughly and made sure I felt completely comfortable. The whole experience was super quick, practically painless, and the parlor is beautifully decorated and very clean. I completely trust The Piercing Parlor and will be coming back in the future! I highly recommend getting pierced here!
Kristen Blair
I got my septum pierced a couple months ago and i love it! The employee was quick, super polite, and very thorough about after care. It healed up great and I'm excited to stop by for new jewelry 🙂 …
Melanie Amick
The Piercing Parlor is so great! Nice staff, great customer service, clean, cute decor. Do not hesitate to go here! Moms: Do not take your children to Claires! Bring them to the Piercing Parlor -- it's a way better experience all around.
taylor brazell
Great experience! The place was very clean and decorated nicely. The girls who pierced my daughter’s ears were kind, calm, and patient. They took time to make her feel comfortable and answered all our questions. Highly recommend!
Christine Robertson
I recently went to The Piercing Parlor with a friend of mine and her daughter to get piercings. The shop is very clean and nicely decorated. The owner, Kara, is wonderful and walks you through everything. We had a fabulous experience and even went back the same day and had more piercings done. I was very impressed with this place and I will be recommending it to anyone who wants a piercing. Northwest Columbia has needed something like this for a long time and the quality is top notch! Thank you so much for everything Kara - we will be back!!
Daniel Newbanks
My wife and daughter were so happy with their piercings that they went home and convinced my two sons they needed their ears pierced! 😁 Quick and fairly painless, clean and quaint environment!
It's so nice to have a place to go for this sort of thing that isn't your typical tat and piercing shop! The Piercing Parlor was recommended to me with a glowing review by several people, and now I see why! Before trusting anyone else, go see Kara or Ashley at The Piercing Parlor!
Ashley Saville
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Kara has been my piercer for years and there is no one else I trust to do everything right. Her new shop is the most inviting and beautiful shop I have ever gone into. You just feel like you are in a spa setting the second you walk in. Kara makes sure that everything is clean, and that everything is done professionally and with care. I have even trusted her with piercing my daughter's cartilage on multiple occasions (She has 2 cartilage piercings and soon wants 2nd holes in her lobes..she's a teen) and she will forever be the only one allowed to pierce my daughter's ears or any part of my body for that matter. I just can not recommend Kara and The Piercing Parlor to people enough. She isn't the type that sees you as a paycheck. She sees each customer as a person and treats them as such. She explains everything you need to know before and after a piercing and even makes sure you leave with the proper aftercare. She cares about her clients and makes each one feel as though they have known her forever. She truly is a diamond in the piercing world and if you haven't seen her shop. Please go check it out. It is gorgeous and unlike any others.
Madelin Ward
Me and my friend came today to get a few piercings, and I highly recommend the piercing parlor!! Staff is wonderful and and the lady that did our piercings was great she verbally explained every step and got us through the piercings. The shop is very inviting and comfortable. Very clean. 100% will be recommending friends and family here. Congratulations kara on your own business!!!
Sydni Wilson
Went today to get my septum pierced by Ashley. Both she and Frank, the concierge, were super friendly and answered all the questions I had. I'll definitely be coming back to get my next piercing done!
Savannah Murdock
I have had both my nose and industrial done at the piercing parlor and I had a great experience both times. Quick and easy and they do what they can to make you as comfortable as possible. I would definitely recommend!
Gabby Tefft
I followed Kara from her previous piercing studio and I was so excited that she opened up her own business!! It is beautiful in there, comfortable, her staff is friendly too. Kara is quick and makes you feel relaxed. I can’t say enough good things about her! I recommend her to everyoneee
Anne Claire Purcell
I went in for a nose piercing and my friend went in for her second ear piercings and Ashley was perfect and patient. She took multiple tries before piercing my nose to make sure the spot was right, and she did it almost effortlessly. I am new to Columbia and had no piercings other than just my ears but I will definitely be back. I would 100% recommend them!
itzmaddie
i got my nose pierced here a few months ago and it went wonderful , this was my first piercing ever so i was super nervous but they made me feel very safe and calm . Everything is healing nice :) i definitely plan to come back soon to get my belly pierced !
Korinne Collins
Very clean! Ashley did a great job piercing my daughter's ears. She was patient, and explained everything as she was going. My daughter said she didn't even feel the second ear! Highly reccomend anyone wanting a piercing go see these ladies.

I got 4 piercings done at one time. Industrial and conch on one ear and daith and a helix on the other. All piercings look amazing!!! I can’t thank her enough. I barely have any pain, I even slept on one side of my head the same day. Little bleeding and for as many as I got- the pain was not bad at all, but my pain tolerance is pretty high. I went to a shady tattoo shop to get my belly button pierced but it was still clean and sterilized. Everything here was cute and clean and sterile. Inviting atmosphere! I’m seriously in love with them and she did an amazing job. Very fair pricing, totally would recommend to friends!

Kara (the owner) has been piercing me for YEARS. She is the only person who I let pierce me and I recommend her to anyone looking for a new piercer. She is always professional and goes above and beyond to make her clients feel at ease and welcome. She is the sweetest person I know and her shop is beautiful! I highly recommend her for all your piercing needs!
Gregory Hornback
My wife and I just moved to the area from Colorado and were looking for a good place to get her ears pierced. We went here and got a double helix piercing done for her, as well as purchased a new earring for her tragus.
The waiting room was very clean and comfortable. The piercing room itself was also very clean and felt like the inside of a doctor's office. The staff were fantastic - personable and professional. We felt very comfortable getting her piercings done here and will absolutely return in the future for any new piercings.
Christy Bragdon
I just LOVE them all! What a great group of people who obviously love what they do! I instantly feel like a part of the team whenever I’m there - which is pretty often. I’d never go anywhere else!
william marshall
Kara was caring, knowledgeable and very professional throughout the entire visit and process. It was a pleasant experience, she was phenomenal at her craft with piercing me and my guest nostrils! I highly recommend her and her business for all piercing needs
Ginger Roland

Kara made me feel very relaxed, she was quick, clean, and very professional. She made the experience as pain free as possible and couldn't have asked for anyone better to do my piercing. I highly recommend Piercing Parlor
Alexandria Welch
I just got my nose pierced yesterday evening. It was such a great experience!

I would definitely recommend The Piercing Parlor to a friend!

Had my nose pierced here right after the covid restrictions were lifted and it was so perfect that I decided to get a faux snug and helix. All of the piercers here are great, even when I had problems with my piercing I was able to come in and they were more than willing to help. I will definitely be coming back for more!

Caroline Snyder
I got the industrial done and they were wonderful! They talked to me while I got it done and offered me water. They also changed my past jewelry I had in for my helix. I definitely recommend going here it felt like I was at home!

So clean and pretty inside ! My mom brought me for my nose piercing. They were so nice and helpful. We will definitely come back for more piercings.
Brian Dempsey
First of all it smelled of hand sanitizer when I walked in. The cleanest. All employees refused to take off the mask when I offered. Daith piercing migraine went away immediately. Some problems a couple hours later but near perfect. Probably perfect
Tara Sayles
They were super helpful, friendly, and thorough. I had to get a correction from piercings that were done poorly in FL. She was patient with me, and got the job done!! Painless too...a paper cut hurts worse than a lobe piercing lol. 😊 …
Jay Duh
Very clean and lovely Aesthetic! I felt very welcomed and I loved the variety of options they had for the piercings. Very satisfied with my nose and conch piercings and will be returning!

Jeff Crooks
Drove from New York and lost my ball to my labret piercing. The piercer fit me in and gave me a new a stud which won't catch on my braces. I had the original stud from when it was originally pierced which was too long. The reason for the 4 stars is the price. I got charged 30 dollars for 1 stud and 3 balls. I did not question it since I needed the product immediately.
