Reviews of Adorn East
Jade
billy did an amazing job! took his time lining everything up so it was as perfect as humanly possible, gave clear and helpful aftercare instructions and made me feel comfortable throughout the experience. great personality and excellent service. every staff member i interacted with was very nice and knowledgeable. it is expensive but they’re very good at what they do and super covid safe and clean. would definitely recommend and i will be back for the rest of my piercings for sure!
Sondra Blair
Yesterday was my third time visiting Adorn. I haven't been pierced there, but I've taken my two teens and the experience has been exceptional. I appreciate the level of care and cleanliness of the shop, but I especially appreciate the professionalism and skill of their piercers. Shayna was the piercer this last time and was just wonderful with my teen got a nostril piercing and an eyebrow piercing. She took the time to really understand what they were looking for with their piercings, how they wanted to wear them, and carefully but interestingly explained how to care for them, when they would be ready for new jewelry etc. All of our piercers have been skilled and caring but I definitely recommend Shayna for anyone feeling nervous, or people new to professional piercings. (I myself have many piercings, but appreciate the care provided for my kiddo, who is newer to the experience)
Brina Schoo
I went in to get my jewelry changed and it was a great experience. the shop itself is gorgeous, exceptionally clean, and comfortable. very welcoming indeed! the piercer that helped me was very kind, personable, and they checked in on me throughout the process. i felt totally taken care of! absolutely going to be back to Adorn for more services, and i would highly recommend them!
Alexa Young
SUCH AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! The shop was so clean and professional and the staff were very friendly and gave me great suggestions on jewelry according to my personal style. This was my first piercing besides my ears and I’m so glad I got my nostril piercing at Adorn. Brit pierced me and they were great and made me feel comfortable and at ease. 10/10 would recommend!!
Kit Cox
First off, I can't thank you guys enough for keeping one of your locations mask-required. I live with several immunocompromised folks, and as covid strains are starting to show more breakthroughs, I really appreciate my piercing place of choice not being a source of stress on the covid front.
As far as the piercings themselves go: Seth has done an amazing job helping me curate + piercing my ear from start to finish. He's always super respectful, took the time to make sure each piercing was lined up + placed the way we wanted, always checks in to make sure I'm comfortable with everything, asks permission before touching, and beyond that he's just super knowledgeable as a piercer. Seth, if you see this, thank you again for helping me put together my "princess ear!" Please never retire or move (at least until my other ear is all poked up)!
Tish F
Fabulous experience! Dana pierced my 11 year old daughter's ears and was amazing at calming her nerves. He thoroughly explained the whole process to her and made sure she was comfortable every step of the way. The shop itself is beautiful and clean and they have a fantastic selection of jewelry. Everyone we dealt with were professional and friendly. Highly recommended!!
Julie Colton
Such a great atmosphere. Stunning jewelery that is high quality. Lia was absolutely amazing. She took the time to make the placement of my nostril piercing perfect. I was nervous, but she explained everything as she did it and it was a great experience! Clean and eclectic vibes!
Stephanie Peregrin
Had the privilege of getting pierced by Alexander - he was wonderful to work with from start to finish.
Every member of the staff I interacted with was kind, welcoming and professional. I will be going back for my next piercing & wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Adorn to anyone looking.
Alexis Burrmann
I got my septum pierced at Adorn and had a wonderful experience. Big shoutout to Shayna for helping me feel super comfortable, informing me of all possible risks, and listening to my questions and desires. Everyone at Adorn was so helpful and welcoming — it’s really clear that they all want you to feel safe and heard! My piercing turned out so lovely and I can’t wait to go back and pick out new jewelry once it’s healed. Thank you Shayna!
Maria Pitari
Had an amazing experience at Adorn today! Alexander was my piercer and he was super gentle, professional, and kind. He explained everything he was about to do and made me feel really at ease. Also, their jewelry selection is stunning and the rest of the staff is super sweet as well. Highly recommend Adorn and Alexander, especially if you don't have a ton of piercings and are looking for a place that's informative and not intimidating :)
kate mitchel
I had a great piercing appointment here to get my second lobes pierced. They are very professional and knowledgeable. My piercer was very caring and understanding. She also helped my sister with her cartilage piercing that came loose.
Arden
Absolutely the best piercing experience! everyone I met was phenomenal, super kind, careful, and helpful. Beautiful quality jewelry as well. Truly could not be happier!
Vanessa Berg
I have been going here for the last few years for my piercings as well as for friends being pierced. Everyone I have met working here has been knowledgeable and not snobby. Brit always makes me feel comfortable when getting pierced and they also have the best jewelry!
Joseph Conchelos
We had an appointment for my 8 year old to get her second ear piercing on New Year’s Eve. From the moment we entered the shop, it was amazing. Everybody who wasn’t busy could tell my kid was nervous and made the effort to come say hello, talk with us, show the jewelry and just hang out for a minute.
Then, Lia called for us to come back. My kiddo was still a bit nervous and the way Lia interacted with her was phenomenal. Lia talked her through the process and took their time to make sure she was comfortable with what was about to happen. All the while, reassuring her that if she changed her mind and didn’t want to go through with the piercings, it was okay.
I can’t say enough about this shop and all of the people with whom we interacted. If you’re looking to get a new hole put in yourself or your kid, I highly recommend going to Adorn.
To everyone we interacted with yesterday, thank youse for everything!
Happy New Year from
Isabella, Nicole and Joe.
Dylan Thomas
These folks are awesome! I had a great experience. I was a walk-in and even though they encourage appointments, they fit me in within minutes. I was able to get a gauge piercing and upsized my nipple piercing too in one go. Alex was the piercer and was thorough, calm collected and very respectful of my body. Things are healing well so I think it's a very sanitary environment as well. You guys rock.
Claire
Brit gave me expert, safe, and personable service - she really is a pro at what she does. I would highly recommend her for whatever piercing needs you may want. Adorn East runs a very responsible and trustworthy practice!
Kayla Uyeno
Been here 6+ times over the past several years and it’s always a great experience! They didn’t always have appointment only, but it’s so nice now that it’s by appointment. Scheduling online is super easy, the counter staff is great and always willing to help if you’re indecisive like me, lol. The piercers are professional and keep you informed the whole time on what they’re doing so it’s super stress-free. They are APP certified too, which is why I initially chose to come here. Best choice ever!
Brit is super fun, Seth is awesome as always, and I had an absolute blast chatting with Shayna while she did my paired nostrils today. Tbh I wish I could go back in time and get all my piercings done here instead of my parents taking me to Claire’s when I was a kid, haha. Healing is SO much easier when you go to an actual trained professional and you’ll have a better experience overall. Anyways, 10/10 recommend adding some sparkle to your bod while meeting cool, beautifully stylish people and having them hype you up about how great you look with your new jewelry. Happy healing :)
Alice Stickel
I've had 6 piercings (3 in each ear) at Adorn and the actual piercing process was great (a bit of paperwork tho), very symmetrical and looks amazing! They gave me lots of saline to care for the piercings and they are all healthy now.
The problem I have with them is how often the threadless jewelry falls out, I've had at least 3 piercers install the same jewelry there and every time I have a few fall out, so far I have only actually lost one piece, but have had several hunts for fallen pieces. I've researched and threadless jewelry should not be so loose as to fall out this easily so I don't know what's going on.
Samantha Houston
Kind, warm, friendly, thoughtful, encouraging! Alex was great, he put a lot of care into my appointment. I highly recommend seeing Alex if you’re nervous, need help picking out the right jewelry, or just want a sweet human to guide you through the process.
Nicole
I just wanted to say I adored the staff.
I didn't feel like I was being pressured or sold anything. I also felt like they were just so kind and sociable. They really wanted to make sure I got what I wanted and needed.
I really appreciated them!!! Totally get your piercing or jewelry here!
Morgan Holman-Wilkens
I had a lovely piercing experience with Alex. Alex was polite & professional in his interactions with me and the piercing itself was very quick and looks great. I appreciated that Alex asked for consent on closing the door and before touching my face - it really shows the environment that Adorn creates & maintains for its clients.
Matthew Hadd
Every time I've gone here so far they've done an amazing job, they always make sure that you're comfortable and relaxed throughout the process. They have a great selection of jewelry and I would highly recommend this place to anyone else. 😊 …
M Gee
Initially, I got pierced at their shop in Vancouver and had a good experience there. I've now been to the Adorn East location three times for swapping out jewelry and downsizing. Def had a bit of sticker shock initially but I believe it's more than worth it when you consider: a) the selection of jewelry; b) friendly environment; and c) quality of the pieces. I always feel super welcome walking through the door, and I appreciate that (as someone with severe anxiety who's immunocompromised) they're by appointment only. The folks up front helped narrow down my jewelry selection based on the location of my piercing, desired metal & shape, and budget.
Cherish (they/them) handled my last two appointments and is such a delightful human to cross paths with. They're super friendly and made me feel at ease. They're also super professional and quick too. They also recommended some cool, nearby spots for a fellow queer to check out & feel comfy. I've had many piercings in my day but Adorn is superior. All my piercings have healed quickly with minimal swelling & pain, and I always get compliments on my jewelry, which never fails to make me feel like a Real Housewife of PDX. Might've-definitely started a trend at my work.
I would absolutely recommend the Adorn team for any and all of your piercing dreams. If you're reading this, you deserve the good stuff. Treat yo'self.
Cameron McCosh
The most beautiful jewelry, welcoming and helpful staff, and the best piercing experience I’ve ever had.
Hunter Thomas
Friendly staff, resolved problems with grace and ease, the only place I go in PDX for piercings. On the pricier side, but you get what you pay for!
Sam Wiegand
I had trouble with my septum piercing (done elsewhere) partially closing and they were able to get my jewelry in quickly and with no problems. They sterilized the ring I brought and I was in and out very fast. Cute location and friendly staff.
Lauren La Riva
I got my daith pierced yesterday, I love how it looks. Adorn has a great selection of quality jewelry. Brit was awesome, she explained everything and told me what she was doing as she did it.
Susan Gundlach
Seth and the front of house staff were really great. I appreciated their commitment to COVID safety right now as well. They had lots of great jewelry options and I learned some details about jewelry I never knew before. I was pleased with the experience and results.
I Stamos
I've gotten two tattoos here with Karla. She's an amazing artist and was super easy to work with. My first tattoo turned out gorgeous and she was very patient when I needed breaks. Total time was about 2.5 hours for each session for my back piece, which was what I expected. My second tattoo was also a great experience. My mom and I got "matching" tattoos. Karla got the color exactly how I imagined it should be. I will definitely be coming back for more work in the future!
Oriana Irvin
This place is the best place to get tattoos and piercings. The staff and artist are always warm and welcoming. When you are looking at the jewelry they help you pick the best piece for you. I have never left disappointed in the year that I have been a customer. All piercers are professional and make the process of getting your piercing easy and relatively painless. The tatto artist are at the top of their game all the time putting attention into every line. I personally have had tattoos done by Wes and Andrew. The pin-up and bike was done by Andrew, I broke it up into two sessions to decide the color so I have the line work photo as well as the color. The turtle and framing, as well as the raven half sleeve was done by Wes. Definitely would give this place a try for your next piercing or tattoo.
Brieanna Britton
I actually had a kind of negative experience here but I went back. There was some confusion on both sides and the people I worked with today helped me out to make things right. I understand why this place is known around the globe for what they do. There's no other place, in my mind, to go to for my piercing needs.
Sarah Dyckman
Absolutely amazing experience everytime I go. Very knowledgeable and skilled staff. I drive up from Salem to adorn for all my piercing needs, that's how much I love them
Daniel Read IV
Adorn East is probably Portland Oregon’s most authentic tattoo, body jewelry, and body piercing shop. They also have lots of free parking, in back. Also, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.
Sophia Fuller
Cherish is amazing!! They made me feel so at ease throughout my experience and were very informative about what to expect. They helped me breathe through the pain and were so quick and thorough. Definitely would recommend Cherish to anyone who’s considering getting any kind of piercing :)
Dianne V
Wow. I have nothing but positive things to say. My friend and I got our nostrils pierced while visiting from Canada (we had been wanting it for a while but due to Covid had not been able to so made a spontaneous vacation decision). I’m so happy we chose adorn. We are both pretty piercing naive but Ben was very helpful and patient while we were checking in a choosing jewelry. Seth was so calming and professional while doing our piercings. He explained everything he was doing and made the whole experience very enjoyable.
Breanna Gutierrez
I went in because I made the mistake of taking out my nose stud and I couldn’t put it back in because of 1.) I’m wearing acrylic nails and 2.) the original place I got my piercing done pierced it all wonky. Adorn was so kind to help me out and put in a new bar that is s more convenient and comfortable. Thanks very much it’s very much appreciated!
Willow Suits
First time customer. Got my philtrum pierced today and my experience was outstanding! First, both people operating the counter were knowledgeable and kind. They also asked me for my pronouns, which made me feel wonderful and welcome. Next, I met my piercer for this visit, Seth. Seth was very professional and personable the entire time. He made sure I got all my questions answered, and explained every step before starting the piercing process. Both Seth and the employees at the front made sure I was feeling completely alright before leaving the shop, which shows they care- there are plenty of shops that just churn out piercings and are done with you the second the jewelry is in.
Bonus points for having a parking lot and lots of air purifying machines.
Bronwyn Akimseu-Arnold
I've had many piercings done at Adorn East and the staff is always extremely warm, professional and knowledgeable, but today I had an experience I was especially happy with! I had my nipples repierced by Cherish after healing up old piercings done at a different shop and had the BEST experience with them! My first set of piercings had to be removed a couple years ago after they started to migrate forward. I went back in to finally get them redone and explained to Cherish that I was feeling nervous and the first time I had had them done at a shop in another state, it wasn't the best experience in the world. They were completely sympathetic to this and did a great job putting me at ease! They explained everything they were doing and were extremely professional, but also just generally friendly and kind. My piercing ended up being less painful than the first time I'd had them done, and they look placed better as well. Overall I'm very happy with my piercings and my experience and am very glad I decided to see Cherish for this service!
Nick Dickens
Have gotten two piercings here from two different artist and they were both so smooth. Plus they give you a free bottle of saline spray for cleaning which is super nice! Totally worth the money!!
Heather Goble
The staff are amazing. Got my septum pierced last night and it was the smoothest process 😌 everyone was kind and friendly and before I knew it I had a new septum ring in! Very clean studio with high quality jewelry as well. …
Delia Barber
I had a really good experience with Brit! I’m sure she would love to never see my face again (I was a pain)! I originally went in for a septum piercing, which I had done. It ended up being a little crooked, and she worked with me through indecision, completely changing what I wanted done, and difficulty scheduling appointments. She is so sweet, understanding, and just a joy!
I would give five stars, buuuut…. I really like knowing exactly how much money I am going to owe beforehand. I didn’t because I didn’t come in before my appointment to pick out my jewelry. Also, I feel the jewelry is slightly overpriced. But what do I know? I know little to nothing about jewelry quality.
Overall a great experience! And it’s in a cool location!
Kim Holland
The staff were so helpful and answered all my questions. They made sure I was ready and educated before my piercing. Really great quality care that you'll receive at Adorn East.
Julia Parker
New septum piercing by Brit. Kind staff, incredible welcoming environment! Brit made it easy to absorb knowledge about the service, and provided me the skills I needed to maintain my piercing. They explained every step of the process, and all of the tools and jewelry had been sanitized and individually packaged. I was concerned about pain but Brit was honest and reassuring. I think that was the most pleasant needle stabbing ever. Thank you!
Katrina Mainetti
This shop went above and beyond to provide education and comfort during my appointment. Shayna was kind, professional, and took the time to ensure I felt assured each step of the way. I would highly recommend!
Sorren Kerr
This place was so welcoming, clean, and professional. I felt so well taken care of. It was a great experience, and I will absolutely be getting all my piercings here from now on.
Jordan M
I had my nipple and my 2nd and 3rd earlobe piercings done by Brit and their apprentice Alex about a week ago. They were both super professional and kind, and put my worries at ease. I just about passed out afterward and they made sure I had a juice box and some ice to chill out with for a bit. Nobody rushed me and everyone was extremely kind and helpful. Placement is fantastic and I will definitely go back to Brit for more piercings in the future.
Sarah Joblin
My boyfriend Nathan and my sister Liz both got their noses pierced here. Amazing little building, and very friendly staff! The “adorner” Seth was very detailed about the process and aftercare, plus he was just a stellar dude. Next time we’re in Portland we’ll definitely be visiting again.
Cecilia Smith
They were so kind to me, as it was my first actual piercing besides my ears forever ago, and my nose piercing looked great! Forever a loyal customer!
Youngblood Fine
My goto spot for all things piercing related. They always do an excellent job with customer service and have the best selection of gold jewelry in Portland.
Lori Ellertson
Britt made our visit to Adorn most awesome! My granddaughter loves her ear piercing! Thank you Britt!
Isabella B
Highly recommend Adorn! I had a dermal removed from my face that I had for about 7 years and it was a very easy and quick process. Brit was very nice and welcoming. She did a great job of easing my anxiety and keeping me comfortable. I will be back for new piercings in the future!
Melissa Appelson
Outstanding shop! Friendly staff and broad selection of jewelry. We will be back for more!
Miranda Whalley
Seth was very professional and thorough. I will be going back for follow ups and any future piercings. The building is beautiful and the entire staff was kind and proficient. Thanks to all of them!! I love my piercings.
Maggie Baird
Can I just say WOW! Getting piercings can be intimidating for a whole multitude of reasons and the team at Adorn goes above and beyond to make the experience friendly and enjoyable. I left feeling great about my piercings but just spirits lifted by the amazing staff and experience end to end. Cherish and Roberto we’re both absolute stars. Highly recommend!
Shannon Champagne
Cozy space, high quality jewelry, safe piercing practices, and the staff were very personable!
Update on 2/19/17: Today I went to Adorn to have my septum piercing switched out with a smaller hoop. I had my original piercing on 1/13 and was told (see photo) that I could have my hoop downsized 4-6 weeks after my original piercing. It has been over five weeks.
So I went to the shop and told the person behind the counter that I wanted to switch out my hoop for one with a smaller diameter and gauge. He told me that I could only have a smaller hoop, but not gauge, since my piercing needs to heal more. I said ok, but really wished that that information would have been shared with me ahead of time. I talked to one of the piercers and he said that he would attempt to change the hoop if my piercing was healed enough. Sounded good to me and I waited in the waiting room.
A few minutes later, a different piercer called my name to come back to change my hoop. She immediately asked how old my piercing was. I told her five weeks. She responded that she would not change my hoop to one without a ball as early as five weeks. She was a bit rude about it and I explained that two other people in the shop told me that it was possible to do so and she passed me onto the original piercer that I spoke to.
In the end, I wasn't able to have my hoop changed out because my piercing wasn't healed enough. This is fair and I appreciate my piercer for testing out my piercing before denying me my request.
HOWEVER- It has come to my attention that different information has been given to me from different people within the company. PLEASE communicate internally before sharing information with your clients! It's not fair to tell me that I can get my hoop downsized between 4-6 weeks and then get upset with me when I show up to have it downsized after 5 weeks. Also- please define the meaning of "downsize" with your clients so that their expectations are on par. I did not realize that I had to wait 6 months for total healing before changing the diameter AND gauge of my jewelry (PS I was told full healing takes 2-3 months...see photo). So I either have to wait longer or spend more money to get two different pieces of jewelry. Lame. =(
It is my understanding that Adorn is one of the best piercing studios in Portland. And I can tell that they offer top notch service and quality in piercings and jewelry BUT PLEASE communicate more clearly with each other and your clients! I am paying a lot of money for piercings and jewelry and wish to be treated kindly as a client of your business. It is not my fault if information is not being communicated clearly internally and therefore to the clients. Thanks for hearing me out! ;)
VT
So professional, so careful with practices and cleanliness! I’ve gotten multiple piercings here and want more
Stephanie Luckie
I’ve always had a great experience here. I came for the third time for a curation, and the night before my dog decided my head was a jungle gym and did some damage to my industrial. Brit swapped out the bar for a longer one to accommodate for swelling, and the cost of three piercings, three pieces of jewelry, and the bar charge was still less than quoted.
Anya Franzen
Incredibly professional staff, reasonable service prices, jewelry itself can be a bit on the high side but they're incredibly good at what they do
Breanna Simpson
i was recommended to go to adorn east from a friend! and i’m so glad i went! seth was amazing! calmed my nerves, explained everything, and overall did such an amazing job!! will definitely be coming back for more piercings in the future!
Jesse Shelby
ADORN EAST is the ONLY place that I'll refer to anyone. My 17 year old got a nose piercing and the process was so smooth and professional! They really put the client at ease and create an environment that is warm and welcoming to anyone who comes in. Thanks again for the great work. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 …
Faye Fulton
I went there on a friends suggestion. I had my daith pierced by Seth. I had my daughter's done a great ago at a different location. The difference was uncanny. Seth explained what he was doing and why he was doing it. I am only 3 days out from piercing and have had almost no pain or discomfort. My daughter on the other hand had pain and discomfort for the initial two weeks and then it tapered off. If I decide to pierce any other body part of have a child wanting a piercing, I willl travel and wait for Seth.
Kellie O'Rourke
Seth did an amazing job with my lobe piercing. I got my first piercing in my 30s and Seth was kind, thoughtful and patient. The person at the counter made thoughtful recommendations about what earrings would look good based on my skin tone, glasses and wardrobe. My ears look beautiful and I can't recommend Adorn highly enough.
Willa richardson
Had a nostril piercing, only my second piercing ever after me ears, by Billy. I’m no expert on piercers by any means, but this place is phenomenal.
The counter staff are super friendly and helpful, and helped me pick out an amazing piece of jewelry! They have a pretty great selection, at least from what I saw, from grand wooden swirls to dainty gold studs.
Overall, amazing experience with super professional and talented people! Would highly recommend!
Thank you so much, Adorn!
Dragon Star (PdxDragonBoi)
Friendliest, most accommodating staff, beautiful well lit and decorated space, and professionalism and cleanliness like crazy. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Really vibe with the piercer Brit! They're AMAZING!!! 😤😤😤🌿🎶 …
haley andersen
Didn't originally get pierced by her, but Brit really took care of me. I came in after getting my philtrum pierced at Paramount, and the previous piercer didn't give me a long enough bar for swelling. I was swole up super bad. Brit tried to make taking my previous labret out as painless as possible. She hooked me up with a super long bar for extra swelling.
Thanks gur yousa a real one. 🤙🏻
B4 and after pix of the swelling.
JarJar Inks
I had such a great experience, for my first face/surface piercing. I was super late getting there, but they honored my appointment, which was dope. Brit was super friendly and informative throughout the appointment. When I noticed an issue, they had really quick customer service response time. Would definitely go back.
Bunnie Pollock
From entering the door, working with Alex on choosing jewelry, getting the actual piercing done with Luke and checking out with Ben, The whole experience was FANTASTIC. I was a little nervous, the whole staff made the visit enjoyable.Alex was patient and very informative on picking out the jewelry taking his time with us while still managing a busy day for the studio. Luke was fantastic at making it light hearted and fun for both my niece and I. He made sure we were clear on the aftercare as well. The procedure itself was quick and I LOVE my piercing! He was great with my niece changing out her piercing with a prettier piece of Jewelry. Before actually doing our procedure he took the time to slow things down and make sure she was happy with her choice. Ben was great in answering any questions before we left making sure we had our aftercare instructions as well. Great Staff! Thank-you for helping me create a moment with my niece and for the beautiful Piercing!
Natasha Park
Everyone was so nice, we felt so welcomed and safe. They are following safety measures amazingly. My daughter couldn't get her eyebrow done because her face wasn't made for it. So we went with her 2nd choice septum and its perfect. Cherish was amazing so sweet and great music taste. We will be back!!
Johnathan Krug
Came in for a double nose piercing and I was greeted right away by the staff. The establishment was very clean and brightly lit. They had me sign in and choose from a beautiful selection of high quality BVLA pieces. They let me take my time and figure out a combination that I liked. When it was time for my appointment Brit took me to the room and discussed placement of my piercing and the pros and cons of where it would go. She let me take my time and showed me different placement options until we figured out what would be best. She was very thorough in her explanations and helped me choose the best one. I don’t know what her technique is but so far this is the best nose piercing I’ve ever had! I don’t know what type of magic she used but I had no swelling or bleeding and a week later no keloid bump (that I usually get)! I will keep coming back to this place for my jewelry and my piercings! Already signed up to get my septum done! I highly recommend this place!
Jon Thomas
I cannot recommend Adorn East & my piercer, Billy Wood Jr. highly enough.
Extremely professional staff who make sure all of your questions get answered ahead of time, explain things to you in detail, and the piercing process is exactly what you'd want and more. They asked my pronouns and preferred name ahead of time. Their selection of jewelry is phenomenal and they provide aftercare tools and instructions with every visit.
Billy does breathing exercises with you to make sure you're relaxed and your piercing hurts as little as possible.
Very friendly, professional, and accomplished.
Even if I move away from portland I'll come back to Adorn East to get all of my future piercings done with Billy.
Brea B
I could not have had a better experience! Everyone I spoke with was super friendly and informative. Billy was my piercer and he really took the time to ask about my preferences in wearing jewelry and talk about what would work for my ears and why. I had an idea in my head about what I was going to get done. It didn’t end up working with my particular ear shape, but I’m even happier with what I walked away with because it’s unique and I know I’ll be much happier with it.
Roberta Frease
Seth made my daughter feel comfortable and let her know it was ok to speak up about the placement of her piercings . She had a great experience for her birthday weekend !... we will return .
Chelsea Gipson
I got 3 piercings here today and my experience was phenomenal. Every person that I talked with was extremely kind and knowledgeable. Plus they had a great jewelry selection with a price range for any budget. Jameson was my piercer and he was funny and patient, even while I was nervous. They really walk you through after care too, which was much appreciated. Can't recommend him/this shop enough!

Loved my experience here! Highly recommend requesting Billy to be your piercer! He does his work so fast and makes sure that his costumers and comfortable, and manages to damaging everything. Super happy with my most recent piercing (right nostril piercing) and I look forward to getting more from here!

I’ve been to Adorn at least four or five times for piercings and jewelry changes over the last four years. The jewelry quality is unmatched and your piercer will be phenomenal! They do everything they can to make the piercing experience a calm and informed one. There is most often a wait but if you come prepared to wait it will be no issue. Sometimes when you first come in, the person you interface with will be condescending and impatient but I imagine after long days of dealing with people who know little to nothing about this industry that’s understandable. I would recommend if you are willing to pay extra $$ for the best quality and are patient and willing to wait.

I had a wonderful first visit to this shop! Everyone was super helpful, and Seth did an incredible job with my consult and piercing. I really respect his experience level. He allowed me to consider his professional opinion while not pressuring me to decide either way on a very complex piercing. His recommendation on the jewelry placement and setup was invaluable. I can already tell it is more comfortable than my previous piercing only one day into the healing process. Highly recommend Seth for any piercings, but particularly genital piercings.
Dusty Mink
I love Adorn East! The staff are friendly, attentive and always have made me feel welcome. Lia has been my peircer twice now and she does such a great job! She has a great aesthetic and is fast! And fun! I am always in search of the highest quality in both product and service and Adorn can't be beat IMO. Their jewelry selection is fantastic. If you are looking for a top notch experience and jewelry that makes all your girlfriends jealous, do yourself a favor and go with Adorn.
Steve Moore
Brit was very professional and very good at her job piercing my youngest daughter nose. Highly recommended Brit, she was very reassuring to my daughter and explaining every step.
Ash Ginsberg
Really professional and surprisingly fast! I got my septum done and the whole process took less than 15 minutes. Also very affordable for a piercing but definitely not low quality! I’ll definitely be coming back.
Moonlight Coffeehouse
Great experience! High end jewelry with incredible cleanliness. The staff was attentive and created a calm and personal piercing experience! They took the time to explain absolutely everything and answer even the tiniest of questions. It's definitely not the least expensive, but you absolutely get what you pay for! Highly recommend Adorn!
Chloe Greenia
so smitten with my piercings today :) the staff makes it easy by being so personable and cool and Cherish was even able to lend their knowledge to me about some closed up piercings i had been wondering about. i left smarter and adorned in some sweet new jewelry ;)

I’ve been wanting to get my daith pierced for forever now and I finally set the appointment to do so. So happy with Adorn. Zandr was AMAZING! Didn’t even feel the piercing. It was such a great experience! Zandr also switched out my smiley jewelry and did it with such care! The Who experience from beginning to end was just exceptional! Can’t wait to get more work done here!
Painted & Pierced
Update: Came in again a few days ago to turn a single lip piercing into a snakebite. Once again I had a phenomenal experience. I was pierced by Jameson. He really took care to find the perfect placement for the second hole and did a fantastic job. I brought another friend in as well for her septum and she was raving all night about what a good experience she had with him as well. I highly recommend this shop; I’ll never be going anywhere else.
My friend and myself both came in for Septum piercings and had excellent experiences. The staff were all friendly and professional. My friend has a deviated septum, which is apparently much more difficult to work with but his piercer (Ben, if I’m not mistaken) did an excellent job and it looks fantastic. We both could not be more pleased!
Kayla Uyeno
Had a wonderful experience here! This was my second piercing with Brit and I’m super happy with it. The team is very organized and make sure to guide you through all their COVID procedures. Super easy to book online and come in for your appointment.
Can’t wait to come back again! :)
Benedict Cahill
I got my first piercing ever here, and I'm so glad I did it here! My piercer was Ben and he was really nice and patient with me when I asked every question I could possibly think of. The actual piercing went extremely well, and they were very thorough about how to go at the healing process to have the best experience. I would highly recommend them to anybody who wants a piercing!
Megan Springman
Loved the whole experience. Scheduling was easy, aftercare info easily accessible, and everything moved really smoothly when I entered. Brit was fantastic to work with and helped make my first piercing a fun and fulfilling time. I was so nervous but didn't have any reason to be. Just remember this location is cash only, but there's an ATM on site in case you forget.
cecelia lamebull
Loved my experience with Billy. My septum looks great and healed up perfect. I will be back for my jewelry or body modification needs. The staff was kind & professional. Amazing environment!
Maya Cruikshank
I went in to switch my jewelry, made an appointment. The first jewelry they offered me was $550. I stated what I was willing to pay and they worked with me which I appreciated luckily I was saving up to get nice jewelry which I thought costed around $200. I guess my point is the average wage per hour for a Portland resident is $16. It's great that they have high quality jewelry. I won't deny that. Though, I'm sure there are plenty of people like me who don't know how much body jewelry costs. I think one thing that might make people more greatful would be to add more of the jewelry that one would buy when in Adorn to the website. It would definitely feel more transparent with pricing. Then people would be more understanding of what one might end up paying when they go in to switch jewelry. Also, it might help business because those who can't afford jewelry at that moment can save up and get what they want later.
Iyali Ruiz
TOTALLY RECOMMEND- Got a second hole ear piercing, the wait was long but worth the wait. The people at the front are very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. When it was finally my turn, Seth did an amazing job explaining the process and what I should expect. My piercings came out looking perfect! And I’m very picky. Best and cleanest place I’ve ever been to, to get piercings (I’ve been to four). Also, they have an amazing assortment of jewelry to choose from. I fell in love with several pieces. Some, like the gold pieces, can be pricey for obvious reasons, but you have lots of choices and beautiful jewelry to choose from.
Cale Belford
The staff and piercers are so friendly and knowledgeable! And the jewelry selection is impeccable. Would highly recommend!
Rachel Perry
I went in for a sensitive piercing, so I was nervous understandably. I had a great experience. The staff was super nice and knowledgeable, and they had a great variety of jewelry. The piercing process was super comfortable and quick!
They are CASH ONLY, so keep in mind to avoid the ATM fees. Definitely going back for any future piercings!
Callum Read
What a great experience. Seriously, when getting a piercing or a tattoo it is so important to trust and be comfortable with your piercer/artist. I moved here about four years ago and trusted only my piercer back in NM, and on his recommendation tried these folks out and I'm really glad I did. It just isn't practical to have to go back every time I need a new piercing or size adjustment and now I have a local place and a piercer I really enjoy. I cannot rave enough about how great Britt was, she was knowledgeable, personable and just does great work. Super stoked!
Nani
🌺 Lia was my body piercer.. she came down and helped me pick my jewelry because I couldn't decide. I cannot be happier! 😆🤩 I absolutely love my curated piercings! They are so adorable and completely my style. Lia did an excellent job. I told her not to show me the needle, she totally worked with me and put my mind at ease 🙈🙈 I like the breathing exercise we did while I was getting peirced. Went by so fast and wasn't as scary as i thought it would be. She was super nice and knowledgeable 💕 Definitely recommend going here. Thanks Lia! 😸😸
Heather Clot
Billy was awesome. My post was too short for a 3 year old piercing (from another shop) which had randomly begun causing irritation. He got me set up with a longer post and new cute jewelry and even only 24 hours later, my piercing is already much happier.
Jessica Erickson
I make it a point to come to Adorn when I'm in town. They've done 3 piercings for me and each were a great experience. I really appreciate their selection of gorgeous high-quality jewelry. They even do custom orders. The jewelry prices may seem high if you compare to joe-schmoe piercing shops but the quality, uniqueness, and beauty of their pieces can't be beat. One of their newer piercers, Luke, did my septum piercing and he was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and gentle (as gentle as shoving a 16g needle through my nose can be). The people working the front counter were also really great and took the time to show me the jewelry and answer all my questions. I'm in Portland about every 3 months and I'll surely be back to visit Adorn soon! Thank you for maintaining such an amazing business!
Joseph Hoffman
Went here last year to get my partner's belly piercing reopened and they were fantastic. The staff is so friendly and helpful that I decided to go to get a first piercing myself.
I can't recommend Jameson Shaw enough. His reassurances and conversation throughout made for a mostly painless process and put my mind at ease.
Jaclyn Smith
I've been coming here for all my piercings for the last 4 years. Everyone here is great and their work is top notch. It's a very clean and sterile shop too.
The place has an awesome ambience to it. They have an excellent selection of fine jewelry. They handle every kind of piercing that you can imagine too.
Highly recommend them for your next piercing.
Tia Sprengel
This place is such an eclectic and cozy environment, so even sitting in the waiting room and chatting with people was a delight. The prices are completely reasonable for the quality of service they offer and they had a good, well-priced jewelry selection. The wait time was minimal as I was in the door and out the door in under an hour. I went to Jameson and he is far and away the best piercer I've ever had! He did my septum, which was quick and painless. I will absolutely be going back here for every future piercing!
Megan Cronin
I went into get (what I thought) was a re-piercing of my navel, turns out I just needed a pro to pop in a new piece of jewelry. Britt was so nice and so patient. She was super gentle and hung out and chatted with me & helped calm my anxiety. Such a cool person!
The man who helped me pick out my jewelry was also super cool and patient in explaining everything.
I’m super happy with the experience, big thank you!
Luna K
I had such a lovely experience getting my eyebrow and ears pierced! Everyone was very nice and Lia did such an excellent job.
Shannah Cooke
I can’t say enough good things about this place. I’ve had multiple piercings done here, usually by Brit, and they always do a fabulous job. Everyone is so kind and helpful, and most importantly they are super open and make you feel comfortable. I also really appreciate how knowledgeable and clean their shop is, I trust 100% that I’m being taken care of.
Stefanie Lawson
I set up an appointment with Adorn. The choosing of the artist, scheduling process and signing the form/waiver was a breeze during these CoVid times. When you first arrive, they’re very CoVid conscious, temp check and hand sanitizing, ect. Felt good about that.
I went to see Lia and I’ll definitely be back- She was very informative and put my anxious mind at ease. She is very precise when it comes to the piercing itself and the future of the piercing, which is what you want. Attention to detail is a PLUS. When piercing me, she does a breathing technique that I really appreciate. Helped me quite a bit. She was so nice and I can’t wait to go back! Thanks again for the wonderful experience!
Brooke Wilkes
Absolutely GREAT experience!! Everyone was so nice! Jameson did a fantastic job of helping my friend with her closed nose piercing. I didn't get her name, but one of the ladies there was so informative and was happy to answer any questions we had. Not to mention their place was SO CLEAN. It's felt like you could seriously perform surgery there! but it was still warm and inviting! I definitely want to go back for my next piercing or tattoo!
Kayla Carson
Seth is the bomb! Very clean, funny and knowledgeable. His piercings have healed wonderfully and I keep coming back. Also everyone at the front was super friendly and helpful. Thanks all!
P.s. the appointment option is amazing and I hope it never goes away.
Connie Keller
I came in on my birthday in November 2019 and had an ok experience. Seems that the products- pros and cons aren’t explained or maybe could be covered in a more comprehensive way. I had a good piercing experience. The second week of December I was having problems with my piercing despite caring for the area exactly as recommended ( I have been a RN for 36 years). I went in to be seen and was assured that inflammation was fairly normal and to continue irrigating with the normal saline.
During my sleep on Xmas eve day, upon awakening my nose was bloody and the piercing was out. Broken- not sure how it could just break in my sleep?? I am questioning the quality of the piercing..?
On my arrival, I was treated with disdain by the receptionist- definitely not a person who should be greeting people. I get it- it was busy but that isn’t my issue. I was not having a great day to begin with and she certainly was not empathetic or supportive in any way. I even think I was pushed back in the line as many people (3-4 ppl) who came in after me were seen before me. Seth was awesome and replaced my piercing- he was professional and completely amazing. I think he did a lot in the area of service recovery, though I’m still not thrilled with the broken piercing. - I know that these piercings can be tricky and can take some time to settle down and heal. I am hoping that my future encounters with this business are good.
Stabbey Abbey
This is my experience with Adorn and their (amazing) piercer Britt
I'm so happy with this experience that I felt the need to post it multiple places!!!
This is hands down the best piercing shop I've ever been to.
*there's parking behind the building, use it lol*
I came in on the first day off that I had in a long time, I was tired and a mess but the entire Adorn family that was there that day was so so kind to me. The building that the business is in is absolutely beautiful and clean and makes you feel right at home. Every person who spoke to me was engaging and just so nice and personal. They didn't just say hello and that was it, they wanted to know how my day was, what I was up to, if I had any questions in regards to the piercing I was getting, the jewelry, did I have any concerns. One gentlemen even sat down with me in the sitting area and was so sweet and nice, he made me feel less nervous, this was the first piercing I had ever gotten without someone with me, he talked me down from my nervous state and made me feel comfortable.
I came into Adorn wanting to get my nipples pierced after I had wanted them done for many years, but couldn't find a female piercer that I felt would be perfect. Britt was recommended to me by a friend, and now I'll be recommending her to my other friends as well.
She was so patient, and explained everything very thoroughly. She took the time to answer all my questions and address my concerns. She has a lot of amazing information when it comes to different piercings.
Now I have two beautiful piercings that I love and I have a go to shop that I can not wait to go back to.
**Edit:
My second visit was also a huge success!
I got my Philtrum pierced by Britt, and phew, it was over just like that! She is so quick that the pain lasted for a hot second and was over. I have this cute little jewel that I absolutely love!
The confidence that Britt and the Adorn team gives off is really inspiring!
Thank you to everyone at Adorn!
Julie Rockowski
Wow, they are absolutely amazing! Everyone we interacted with was knowledgable and friendly. The piercer (Jameson Shaw) was outstanding and it really came across how much he cared about his clients. Very professional with exceptional focus on cleanliness and setting you up for successful after care. I definitely won't be going anywhere else, it's clear this place is the best.
Mallory K. Jensen
Absolutely wonderful experience! I got my septum pierced by Brit, who was kind, calming and knowledgeable. The shop has a lovely vibe and tons of beautiful jewelry to choose from. Would highly recommend. Thanks so much for a rad piercing and a super relaxing experience.
Nycole Saylor
I took my daughter to Adorn West to get her navel pierced, I cannot express how GREAT this place is! They are so professional and CLEAN! They were very informative and attentive to the piercing. One of my favorite aspects of this place and it’s employees is the what they represent... THEY ARE INCLUSIVE AND RESPECTFUL OF EVERYONE WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION. So refreshing to see. Love this place and highly recommend them to anyone who is interested in getting a piercing or tattoo!
Todd Carter
I had my first piercing done this last Sunday by Jameson. This guy rocks!. The whole visit was fun, everybody was friendly and very eager to answer any question I had. He spent almost 30 minutes preparing and making sure the placement was perfect , and it was!. I am a customer for life. I will be getting my first of many tattoos done there. I highly recommend Adorn!
Lily Chen-Ebadifar
Britt was so awesome!!! Our nieces wanted to get their 2nd and industrial/double helix piercings and she was incredible with them/us. She was knowledgeable and explained things where the 7 year old understood. She was fun/funny and down to earth. The girls were nervous but she ease the tension and made the process a fun experience!!! The 15 year old is already talking about going back to her next week for the nose piercing.
Chris German
My wife has a few metal allergies and they were easily able to accommodate. We were in town for the weekend and had a friend suggest Adorn for their high quality piercings. The staff was great and took their time explaining the different options for the metals and stones.
T Fellini
I've gone here every time I've sized up my septum. Great piercers, they're super helpful and knowledgeable. This place has a reputation of being pricey, but I feel like that's only because they carry high end jewellery. Don't get a $300 BVLA piece and you won't spend a fortune, but it's nice to have that option if it's in your budget. Definitely my go-to shop, and the place I send friends.
Elena Turner
Amazing jewelry selection and communication & transparency with customers. I went to get advice/help with a current piercing that was swelling up really badly, and they were super kind and professional with helping me! They’ll help you out with any piercing questions you may have. I’m definitely coming back sometime to get a piercing here!
Amanda Elise
Adorn East is the best piercing shop I've ever gone to. Attentive customer care and service, cleanliness is top notch, and the building is a work of art. I can't overhype the staff enough.
Devan D
I have never had a negative experience at Adorn on Hawthorne. I got my septum pierced by Brittney, who was super sweet and fun to chat with during the process. Every employee I've spoken with has been exceptionally nice, friendly, and provided a fountain of helpful knowledge to all my questions. Adorn is the only place I trust completely with my piercing and body jewelry needs. Awesome work, babes!
Madeline Vogl
I got my first actual tattoo today. I was a walk in and they were the most welcoming and friendly experience I have had at a piercing or tattoo shop. Todd my artist was amazing, extremely accommodating and willing to work with me on location and the image. So customer focused and a very chill and friendly atmosphere. My tattoo turned out absolutely beautiful and we ended up tattooing a different location then I initially wanted because he helped explain after trying placing it that it would warp. So happy with my experience amazing quality and not ridiculously expensive for a smaller black line tattoo. Was expecting to spend $150+ and was charged $90
Blake Yoder
Went here with my sister who is a regular for her piercings. Super super friendly employees and Britt was such a nice & awesome piercer! Got a double nose done, $130 for piercing + jewelry, everything was very very clean & professional. Definitely will be going back to buy my rings in 6 months & for any other piercings :) Thank you for such a good experience!
Julie S
Fantastic piercing shop. I've gotten my ears stretched here twice and both times the piercer was very friendly and knowledgeable. The first time I went in the service was very quick and the second time there was a very long delay but they were apologetic and offered me a discount off future jewelery which was great customer service all around. But what was really stellar of them, and made me want to write a review, was how accommodating they were today. I was concerned about my stretch and got there about 5 minutes after closing but they still let me in, took a look at it, helped me out, and gave me a good course of action if it didn't clear up. The piercer was friendly and took his time which was much appreciated especially because they were closed. Overall very friendly and clean place that I would definitely recommend.
Kristin Mahlen
Walked in to just get something in my ear holes as a placeholders, as one of my half-hoop claw shaped earrings had fallen out and I was having trouble keeping it from healing back together. I picked some small/medium sized dark gray chrome 12 gauge hoops and one of the piercers put them in for me. I was not expecting to have someone do that but they made me feel totally comfortable and he was very gentle on my ears. They were 40$ for the two hoops, but they put them in for free, and they look dope. I was very happy with the balance they struck between casual and professional. They were also attentive and quick.
Elissa McChesney
Great work and beautiful piercings. They are very thorough and explaining things to you and making sure everything is exactly what you want and how you want. I have already recommended this place to family and friends and they have all been happy with their results. Jewelry is a little spendy, but definitely worth the price considering the high quality.
Ashley Ankeny
I went in for a septum piercing this evening. The guy and gal at the front desk were very nice and helpful. I was taken care of right away. Zander did my piercing. He was seriously the best I've had. Really nice, and you could tell he new what he was doing. He was also really quick! I would definitely go see Zander for another piercing.
Jack K
TL DR I went to Adorn east on my 18 birthday for a tattoo and a septum piercing and it was great. To start off the staff are some of the most chill and just easy to be around people I've ever met. I actually left my door on my car open and a guy literally came in to tell me too which is just of an example of how nice they are. For my tattoo I was tattooed by Ashley and obviously it was my first time getting a tattoo and she was very helpful making sure I understood the pain of different regions, how it ages based on time, detail and color and made sure I understood aftercare. She helped me get comfortable during the actual tattoo and when I needed to shift or anything was totally chill about it. Roughly a month later I have a great tattoo with only one bad line and it's only because it's over a mole which can't be blamed on her at all. For an hour session and a quality tattoo ran me about $250 which might seem like a lot but it's art that'll stay with you for life so I'd say it's a pretty good price.
About an hour later I went back for my septum and it went great. I have a deviated septum and a weird nose in general. I was pierced by Luke who was great. He took his time to line find my sweet spot which was pretty high and forward and make sure it was straight. When he actually pierced it he was quick and had great needle control because of the location of the sweet spot he couldn't get the angle to get the needle to just go out the other nostril and instead of jamming the other side of my nose with the needle he barely poked it and got the needle out perfectly fine. It's perfectly straight and healing well. It's was 80 and a good experience.
Point is these guys are great, professional, very experienced and generally really nice. I went in a week after I got pierced and the lady at the door remembered me and we had a nice conversation. It's quality that you have to pay for but it's worth it. If your gonna go anywhere to get a piercing this is the place.
Jazmin Carrier
Such an awesome shop! Super friendly staff, very informative, and made sure to help me figure out exactly what I wanted jewelry wise. All the staff made me feel right at home, and my piercer Jameson did such a great job! Definitely worth the hour and half drive from the coast!
Lacie Lux
Best experience by far.
I went to a few other shops in the area and the staff were completely horrible. I finally went to Adorn and EVERYONE was ready to help with any questions I had.
I have only had my ears pierced before and I wanted to get a body piercing, so I was pretty freaked out. My piercer, Ben Kelvin, was incredible. He not only thoroughly answered all the questions I had but did not make me feel rushed to just get it done.
I am a HUGE baby when it comes to needles and he helped to calm me and explained what's going to happen and then how to care for them properly.
It was a bit spendy - $130 for the piercing, basic jewelry and aftercare plus a tip, but I could not be more pleased with the whole experience.
If you are thinking about getting a piercing, I would HIGHLY recommend this shop and especially recommend Ben to get the job done!
Corey Branstrom
We took our son to get his ears pierced for his birthday. They were very nice and when it turned out that his (many years) closed holes could just be stretched, that's what they did and charged us less without our asking. We all enjoyed the whole experience. Very professional.
Shelby Saper
I went to get my nose piercing changed by Brit. My nose shape is a bit odd so she took the time to find the right jewelry that fit my face well. It seemed like she really knew what she was doing! The only downside was that the jewelry was a bit more expensive than what I wanted to pay.
grass hendy
I'm definitely not one to write reviews, but Adorn on Hawthorne is the best place for piercings in Portland hands down. I've had my eyebrow done and septum streched by Ericka, she is so calm and so nice, talks you through everything and gets it done very quickly. The prices can't be beat either, you pay for quality material that is going to last. The people that work at the front are extremely helpful and knowledgeable too!
Julie Vega
Getting pierced during a pandemic may not seem essential to some, but for a teenager battling depression and self-injury tendencies it is. Body piercing is an outlet and a motivator to keep grades up. My kid passed summer school and her reward was a second nostril piercing to mirror the other side. The online appointment process was easy and quick, as was check-in and wait time. Billy was an amazing piercer and took great care to match the existing piercing placement mirrored and also the angle. He did a beautiful job. My teen is shy so I probably can’t get a photo but trust, the lil stud she chose looks adorable win the existing nostril hoop and septum. Thank you Billy and crew at Adorn SE!
Rachelle Gomez
Both visits for piercing were consistent and extremely professional. Incredibly clean space and great energy! The whole process makes you feel like you are home. Any nerves that you went in with dissipate as soon as you are greeted by the awesome choice of staff. Highly recommend!
Fawn Grise
I went to this place once before when I was younger, I got my lobes pierced at 13 (they got infected to be honest, but it had nothing to do with adorn! Abnormally large lobes) adorn is such a professional and sanitary place, I'm now 16 and just got my lobes re-pierced (after I let them heal due to how bad the infection got) along with helix piercing! It's expensive but in my opinion if you're looking for quality piercers, jewelery and just all around good service this is your place to go.
Devin Bass
Professional, clean, highest quality jewellery! Made me feel very comfortable during my nip piercings. During COVID masks required and no guests.
Valkyrie Fox
Seth is a great piercer. He was very informative. I wasn't suited for the the piercing I wanted but he was able to give me another piercing that worked better for me. It was quick and the piercing came out great. Thank you Seth!
Alba Espinal
Just got my nose pierced about 45 minutes ago, they give wonderful service and greet customers after coming in. Was like a 2min wait, they explain the whole procedure to you while you’re picking the jewelry and before they begin the procedure . Jameson was the person who attended me today and I can say I appreciated his service. Definitely recommend Adorn if it’s your first piercing of any kind!.
Victoria Becker
The best in Portland! Staff is super kind and helpful, the space is clean and welcoming, and my appointment started right on time! I also really appreciate that they are taking COVID seriously and everyone is masked up, sanitizing, and following social distancing guidelines.
Lev Dog
Billy Wood thank you so much for the plesant experience. My daughter turned sweet 16 in your shop yesterday and you made her day. Not only did you get her in last minute but you made us both welcome and loved (top notch service industry standared). You were also able to get me in and that was a special bonus so accomodating. You answered all our questions, and we had lots and you answered questions we didn't think about The whole staff was amazing. We were welcomed at the door warmley with no pretensiousness the studio was clean, safe and we felt well taken care of and that you really cared what we had in mind for our day. Will happily recomend you, your staff and studio to all the Southeast Moms I know and Love. Thank you for your kindness in this weirdenss called Covid big love.
Carissa Martos
Brought my son here as a young teen, and was pleased at how well he was treated and the level of cleanliness and professionalism. Had my ears gauged by them, and have brought friends and family here over the last few years, as there isn't anywhere else I would suggest for piercings.
Anthony Miller
A fantastic experience - professional, beautiful, and with a very PNW energy. The decor is unique.
Three close friends have brought me here during their peircings: two had their septum done here, the other had their eyebrow done. All healed quickly and look great!
Staff was SUPER friendly
J Wilky
I've had four tattoos done here over the course of Feb '17 - Nov '17. They've all turned out amazingly and Karla has exceeded my expectations at every turn. Karla and Skot quickly put me at ease and helped tamp down the nervousness of my first tattoo. The staff has been really helpful with the various questions I had leading up to my appointments as well as with the aftercare.
Adorn has been awesome, no complaints! I'll be going back there for more work in a couple months.
Iris Gaia
Cool bohemian Hawthorne shop.The jewelry is pricey. They have clear and colored cz stud earings for sub 50 each. To step up to gold dots, moons and more cz with settings is 90-120 range. Many cute flower and more ornate designs hit about 200 a piece. The earlobe jewelry (not gauges) did look mainstream and pretty. Piercer was very professional. The loss of two stars was 1. no jewelry except cz stud in sub 50 each price range. They do offer a discount on 2nd earlobe which was nice, 2. not accepting cash. This should have been stated in the online appt intake or mandatory yt video they make you watch before booking. It was not. And is an inconvenience for those who want to use credit. This is a very tech savvy company. Yt videos, iPad consent forms, yet no cc reader is a bummer.
Overall, good experience and I plan to come back for more piercings.
Aimee V
I had a wonderful experience at Adorn on Hawthorne. Seth helped me with my first piercing, nostril, and he was incredibly helpful and open to any questions I had. Wide selection of jewelry also! Thank you Adorn!
Ericka R.C.
Front desk person was very kind and attentive - I went in to change my double nostrils out and it was a quick process. I like that they take covid precautions very serious, and prioritize the health of their clients and staff. I’ll keep coming back.
Arti Asbury
Amazing! I had a great experience here, everyone was so polite and considerate. The piercer, Seth did a great job on my daith and was straight-up honest throughout the whole process, giving me some important advice. Thanks again, y'all!
Vanwhosits
I went to this place with my sister in law and my brother to get her septum pierced. The piercer's name was Luke, and he is AWESOME. I work an EMT, so I'm hyper critical when I see minor medical procedures being done. Luke changed gloves after every step of the procedure. He even used a drop to create a sterile surgical field. And, at every step of the procedure he explained exactly what he was doing and why. He made my sister-in law really comfortable and even added a little humor to lighten the mood, while he had relaxing music playing. He was an absolute professional, and would make a very competent medical technician. Well done, Luke. It's clear, you can go somewhere cheap, or you can go somewhere good. This guy is really good.
Joi Hollis
Got piercing done...Totally amazing and would highly recommend! Extremely pleased with results. Brit and the entire crew were professional, patient, and very knowledgable. Brit is an excellent piercer--she truly made the actual piercing process stress-free. Beautiful jewelry and clean space.
Carrie Hayes
The best assortment of high quality jewelry I have ever seen...and I'm a jewelry designer. I love, love, love their stuff. My friend had a piercing done and she said Jamison was fantastic. If I could give them 12 stars I would. Only downside, cash only-no cards. Come prepared.
Spencer Cream
Phenomenal shop, filled with kind, patient people. I worked with Brit, who was super accommodating, answered all of my questions, and was just one of the kindest humans I've interacted with in memory. I saw every member of staff working go out of their way to be kind, complimentary, and helpful to every customer present. I can't recommend this place highly enough.
Sheraya Chest
Such an awesome experience,, they all made me feel very comfortable and safe. Plus I love my piercings 😍 …

Ben Kelvin is the best! The experience was super clean, professional, way comfortable, beautiful selection of jewelry and we had a blast. In and out in a very reasonable amount of time. Thank you so much to everyone who works to keep this business establishment what it is! Lovely & Al One
STEPHANIE
Had a piercing done about a month ago and went back today to have the jewelry changed out. Both times they were awesome. Very nice, professional and so clean. Would recommend to anyone!!
Dwight Craig
After weeks of research and calling around I decided Adorn for my... well, intimate piercing. I wasn't dissapointed! Soon as I walked in I was greeted warmly and treated like I came in everyday. Within 3 minutes I was talking with my piercer Seth. I was there for about an hour the piercing itself maybe took 15 minuites.
The rest of the time Seth was treating me like a good friend heading out to grab a beer. He didnt make it one bit awkward. The place was super friendly and professional. But makes you feel right at home. I won't be going anywhere else. Outstanding shop! I will be back!
Caity
I just got a piercing from Brit at Adorn today and she was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and had a calming presence. She made me feel very comfortable and I knew I was in good hands. Would definitely recommend this place.
Shelley Barr
Super friendly staff, beautiful and huge selection of awesome jewelry. We popped in for a nose piercing and were seen within 30 minutes. Definitely recommend this cute little spot for piercings!
Catherine Evans
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Their tattoo artists and piercers are easy to work with and want to make your tattoos or piercings turn out great. The shop is comfortable and cozy, and they have an extensive range of jewelry.
stray fox mountain band
This place is the best! They are so knowledgeable, kind and gentle. with all the disinformation floating around about piercings and maintenance it's a real ease of the mind to have a shop like this. They very literally saved my face after I got a bad piercing from a piercer out of state (where the license requirements are different). I will never go to another place for any of my piercing needs. Big ups!
Evelyn Vermeulen
This was my first piercing experience and it coudn't have gone better! Luke is beyond professional, made me feel very much at ease and I litteraly had to ask if he was done because I hardly felt it, that's how good he is! The rest of the staff was very friendly and helpfull as well. Would defenitely travel a lot of miles to this place if I decide to get pierced again.
Y D Sun
Thank you for being awesome to my girl. She had two horrible experiences with mall jewelry store piercers using a gun. It was traumatic and painful, and they turned out crooked and/or lopsided. I know she’s a little over the top with fear of pain. You handled the pre-tears with so much kindness, Ben I can’t recommend you highly enough. She said the way you explained how it would feel made her go through with it. Aside from her nearly backing out, she had a really good experience. That was not easy to achieve. I came to you looking for professionals and glad I did because you did outstanding! Pat yourself on the back. We’ll be back 😊
You have a great selection of high quality jewelry and I appreciate how sterile everything was. But the thing that really sets you apart is the professional, knowledgeable, caring and highly talented people. Thank you thank you thank you so much Desta, Ben, Holly and all the rest at Adorn Body Art; you are the best!
Alexandra A
Very nice store with lots of nice brands located at the heart of division street
Trisha T.
Brit is fantastic! She is patient, kind, and thorough. I had a few cartilage piercings done at their West location but one of them became 'angry', swelled up and the earring popped out. Adorn East fit me in for immediate help and viola, Brit to the rescue. Thanks Brit!!
Marlo Ramirez
The people here are awesome! I came in to get a piercing checked and they were super helpful and informative. I had initially got my piercing from them over a year ago and they were the first place that came to mind when I had a concern with my piercing. I don't live close by, but I wouldn't wanna go anywhere else.
Jenni Stewart
Excellent customer service every time I'm here! Can't wait to get more piercings done!
Kim Rawr
I honestly only came in for a second opinion but I stayed since everyone was super warm, informative, and patient with me for my consult. I love their honesty (my dream of a double rook has ended) and kindness too. And my piercing & jewelry look awesome! I'll visit again on my next trip to Portland!
Quinn Z
A beautiful and super clean shop!! They have an awesome selection.
Brit is super kind, friendly, and professional 😊 I plan to come back for more piercings soon! …
svend ocho
Seth is the best. Visit him at adorn east, amazing job on my Ampallang today and Lorum last week. No pain just dope piercings with the most fun experience both times. Billy did my PA and he also is with Adorn, he killed too.
JuanNadia Coronado
I purchased these super cute earrings there! Great selection! Friendly folks!
Tyler Roscoe
I've had them do multiple piercings for me! I got my first lip piercing done when I was 14 years old. I was extremely nervous and scared that something would go wrong, but the piercer explained everything he was going to before he did it! Every time I've gone I've had Seth do my piercings and he does an amazing job every time!
Fay Barteaux
I had my septum pierced here 2 days ago. Friendly people, nice, clean atmosphere. However, the piecer (Ben?) gave his job a 90%. He said it was good enough that it didn't have to be done over. But now that I'm getting a bit used to it, I can't stop noticing that it's slightly off kilter and this isn't a 100% perfect piercing. Needless to say I'm less than 90% happy with my piercing. A little disappointed as this place was recommended to me, but I'm hoping my eyes are more critical than others. So if you want a good enough piercing this is the place.
Emily Byers
Like always i had an amazing experience. I got my tongue pierced today and the man who did it was very nice and made me feel extremely comfortable. I have gotten 3 piercings done here and i will for sure be coming back
Duna Alkhalaileh
Everyone is so helpful, kind, and informative. I’ve never had a bad experience here and have loved my piercings.
Michelle
Zandr and the crew were incredible. They were patient when I asked a million questions and Zandr made my nose piercing next to painless. I was so impressed. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a professional, clean, and caring place for piercings.
Kelly Richards
My boyfriend and I got tattoos from Gabe and they turned out amazing! Best anniversary ever :-)
Max Fawcett
had a fantastic time! was my first time getting any piercings and i was super nervous, but jameson totally made me feel at home, gave me all the info i needed and did an awesome job. will be coming back for more!
Dev
Seth pierced my conch (8g) and he did a super good job. He made totally sure I was comfortable and knowledgeable about everything he was doing and we had some good conversation as well. I would (and will probably) absolutely come back again. Thanks!
Lorraine Arbetter
Very professional with a beautiful selection of piercings.
A R
After 7 years of having my piercings, I decided to get them removed. Everyone was so kind, and supportive at Adorn. The piercer, Mr. Shaw, was super encouraging and talked to me about other options. He was very professional and made the process easier for me. After having something attatched to your body for 7 years, it kind of becomes a part of you. Feeling them, seeing them. All in all Adorn is a wonderful place and I highly reccomend going there for all your piercing/jewelry needs. Thanks Adorn!
Tania C.
Brit pierced my tragus on both ears and put new earrings in all three of my helix's. Love it! She was super nice and calmed me down. Definitely recommend this place and her!
McKenzie Laine
Great service, but very pricey $$$$ with COVID-19 precautions , masks, the music ; good luck hearing anything the front peeps say. Seth is absolutely amazing though really! If your going expect to drop $$$$$.
Abby Fellows
This place is incredible. I’ve gotten four piercings and a tattoo here, and I have yet to be disappointed in the slightest. Everyone here is so knowledgeable and helpful, while putting in effort to give you the best possible experience. I recently moved from Portland to Southern California, and refuse to go anywhere else... so whenever I’m back in town, I always have to stop in! I already have a list of things I want done when i’m visiting next.
Highly, highly recommend!
Allie Zameyer
This place is amazing! When I was looking for a place to trust with my piercings I did a lot of research. When I found this place on google I knew that I found something special. I called and they answered all my questions and took me in. The staff is wonderful and friendly. Because I was taken care of I came back for more pricings and they did not disappoint! Thank you guys for being amazing! You made me one happy customer and definitely a return customer!
D C
Great experience getting my ears done!Super friendly, communicative, and a month later they just fixed me up for free after I yanked one out.
Breanna Thrasher
I always have a great experience at Adorn. I went in to switch out some jewelry, and waited no time at all. I was in and out of the shop within 20 minutes. The staff were super helpful and friendly, and easy to talk to. Adorn is cash only, but they do have an ATM (charges $2)
Alex Gainer
Andrew did my tattoo and it was an amazing experience! made sure to make me feel comfortable and talk to me about the cleanliness and was just a cool dude overall. Adorn is super welcoming too and everyone says hi to you and is super sweet
Haylie Bolte
Scheduled an appointment and went in the next afternoon. Super friendly and professional, with all the covid safety details in place to make me feel safe. Luke stabbed my ears swiftly and safely and I left within 20 minutes of arriving! All of the information for caring for my new ear holes was provided online before and after, in person, and on paper, so I know exactly what to do before I head back in in a few weeks all healed. Thanks!
Lucy Kocsis
moved to portland last spring, and I lost my lip ring at work yesterday! stopped in for some help picking a new one, and everyone was so awesome and helpful. they use the same high quality jewelry I received from my piercing place in arizona, as well. even listening to how other employees were treating their customers that were getting tattoos and piercings, everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable.
Roy
Went in just to buy a piece of jewelry and ended up waiting 15 minutes before being helped. Employees were too busy deciding on what kind of burgers to order for lunch, instead of assisting customers who were waiting.
When I finally did get help, I asked the woman assisting me for an 8 gauge septum retainer and because she said I wasn't allowed to touch the jewlelry (which was sealed in a sterile autoclave bag and wouldn't have been contaminated unless it was opened - but I've been around long enough - since my first piercing done at the original, iconic "Gauntlet" location in the purple building in West Los Angeles, by the legendary piercer Elaine "Angel" Binnie in the early '90s, to know how paranoid these places are about contamination) and I didn't have my glasses with me, I asked her to confirm that the jewlelry I brought with me, to confirm the size, was also an 8 gauge - but she said she didn't know and when I asked how could she not know her gauge sizes, she said she'd have to measure it to be sure. It was pretty clear that it was too much effort for her to eyeball the 8 gauge retainer she brought me against the jewelry I brought with me to confirm the sizes match.
Maybe she was too weak and tired from not eating lunch yet?
I ended up buying the retainer anyways because the price wasn't outrageous and I was 90% sure in my own ability to tell what size it was, despite not being a professional in the business.
Next time I lose the retainer, which unfortunately isn't an uncommon thing for me, I'll go someplace a little less pretentious and where the employees have already eaten lunch.
Oh, and BTW, It was indeed the right size!
Toni Morgan
Had a long wait, but that was my fault for coming an hour before closing. They did a great job being clean, making it known everything was sterile. Piercings are doing great 2 months down the line.. good job
Sylph Rune
Great place, very professional. I only wear jewelry I buy from a professional peircing shop to make sure it's good, and this place had lots of options.
Ashley Campbell
Brit and Alex....what a dynamic duo. They made my ear piercing appointment a breeze. They should also be called nurses frl. Okay well i love my new earrings thanks y’all!!!
Eddy Hill
Awesome place!!! Chill ppl, super reasonable prices and pretty awesome work by the piercers and the tattoo artists.
We went there so my other half could get her septum pierced and next thing you know I'm getting a tattoo! Definitely recommend this joint if your looking for some art, a piercing, new body jewelry or just to get some questions answered.
Freeman Grant
Brit was very professional and helpful. I am incredibly satisfied with both of my piercings and will highly recommend Adorn to anyone who asks.
Emily Smith
It was a pleasent environment from the time I walked in. The staff was extremely helpful, welcoming, and nice. It wasn't very busy, so I only waited a couple minutes after picking out the jewelry. The actual peircing was done quick and effectively. They were very professional and sanitary. Would definatly recommend!
Travis D
So far every adorn location I have been to has been an awesome experience. Would 100% recommend coming here 😊 …
Flynn Paige
this shop is beautifully procured, pristinely clean, and super affordable.
the staff members at this location are so friendly, and highly qualified.
my piercer, Jameson, was such a joy to converse with, and had a wicked gentle touch.
I visit portland at least once a year, and never fail to make a visit to adorn, highly recommend !!
Lisa Brice
When you want something done right you go to the professionals and Adorn has them. Brit and Alex are the dynamic duo of piercing and styling and I’m always stoked to see what comes next!
Brandon Bruins
Took my 16 year old daughter in for a helix piercing and Brit was extremely comforting. It's in an old house, but the studios are clean, comfortable, and the people are very friendly. Great piercing shop.
Melanie DeMaagd
I decided after many months of stalking websites to pull the trigger and get a tattoo. I got my first here today, I love. Dustin and the rest of the staff were great, any nerves I may have felt went away quickly. Very professional, clean and awesome place.
Tara Gatz
Took our 6 year old to get her ears pierced. Brit was really great working with our daughter who was very nervcited. She did a great job working with our daughter who went from being so exited, to crying, to laughing. Thanks for the awesome work
Erin G
My boyfriend and i wanted to do something memorable while we were vacationing here on Portland... we were instantly drawn to this place on our first drive by and made it a goal to visit. From the minute we walked in, we thought it was super neat and everyone couldnt have been nicer! Super professional, super knowledgeable, and ready to answer any and every question we had. Amazing experience!
Kevin Kalarn
Adorn always has great staff working all hours. Luke the piercer is extremely knowledgeable and friendly to work with. The jewelry selection can be pricy but it is of great quality.

My piercer was Seth. He was very informative, explained everything, and was so nice! Everything was incredibly sanitary and clean. This was such a great experience for my industrial piercing!
Sharon Mabaet
Daughter took me to have my eats repierced for her wedding. It was a bit of a wait, however they were very nice and informative. Cash only which can be an inconvience.
Ally Dunkeld
Shy was great at the front and Brit was super good and made things easy on the piercing side of things!
T C
Great experience! Best selection of jewelry around. Very professional, thorough and exceptionally clean!
Rebecca Vestal
Very talented artists for piercings and tattoos. Jewelry is high quality and hypoallergenic. All instruments and jewelry are sterilized before use. There's no better place for body mod in the Portland area imho.
AJ Sugg
Loved the atmosphere here! I got my cartilage pierced and they did a fantastic job! very quick!
Adrian Ramos
Fantastic! The staff are incredibly kind and professional. If you're going on a weekend, it seems chaotic with so many people coming in and out, and with people running around with clip boards in hand, but once it's your turn to speak with someone, they are patient and encouraging. I absolutely recommend this place to others.
Terri Aldridge
It was my daughter’s Bday today and she wanted her nostril pierced. This is the same place she had her ear lobes pierced years ago. Luke was FANTASTIC thank you SO MUCH!! ❤️
Pamela Pigman
Great spot. Very conscientious, sterile tattooing policies on an awesome environment. Everyone is great. Dustin did my tattoo, but I'm sure they're all great. Go to thier website and look at the different artists and thier portfolios.
Danyelle Webb
I love the staff here, especially Brit 😍 I've gotten most of my piercings and tattoos here from her and Kayla, their prices are pretty high but it's always been worth it for me because I can trust their equipment and jewelry standards. …
Jason Miranda
The people here feel like they really care about piercings and are very knowledgeable
Jesse Charlestream

Really awesome selection of jewelry and friendly staff. Brit pierced my nose for me and was super professional and helpful. It is cash only, but they have an atm in the shop.
Syl Dekker
These folks are super helpful when it comes to choosing the right size and type of jewelry for any kind of piercing. I've been here countless times to change and resize jewelry, as well as for help with custom jewelry repairs.
Mallory Thomson
So stoked on this shop! Great service and super informative. I got my septum pierced by Jameson and he was quick and seriously painless! I will recommend this shop to anyone!

Brittney M
This was my first professional piercing. I loved my experience. Brit explained everything so I knew what to expect. I will be back to get more piercings!
michael brooks
I am a semi regular here at Adorn East. Back to when they were still in that little first floor on Belmont. I've always worked directly with Skot but have had exposure to both his girlfriend's work as well as some of the other artists who share the space.
This new facility on Hawthorne is outstanding, clean, have a good energy of safety and excitement. It's almost like Modern Man opened a tattoo shop but without the snooty hipster overkill. Great main floor shop space as well as private rooms upstairs which artists rent out as their own private tattooing parlor. It's cozy and warm and really breeds creativity between you and you the artist you chose to work with.
Skot is a formal painter who has progressed his skilled into so many more mediums and lucky for us one of them is tattooing. Now you all know it's hard to push out a great review for your favorite artist when you know yourself it'll just get harder and harder to book them :P
He's great at classic tattoo but has a keen eye and interest for polka trash and photoshop styles. I like to lean toward the latter thinking of it as graphic design for my body. Integrating modern tattoo techniques mingled with classic imagery.
Go, find an artist who matches your vision and collaborate. Enjoy the results :)
Autumn Fetty
Great for kids and adults. Gets crowded quicker than the lobby at your fav weekend brunch spot so get there early or be ready to wait. CASH ONLY! They have an ATM but if you don't want to pay fees, best come prepared.
Racheal
Seth pierced my eyebrow and was super kind, gentle, and got my placing perfect on the first try. Shop was super clean and cute for halloween too!
Chrys Chabot
My husband had a one of a kind ear piece designed and built by an Earmageddon artist here. He took pictures of my husband's ear and then sent him home for two days so that he could truly design a unique piece for him, not just something from a list. Great experience.
Kari G
Really really happy to update my review to report that Ben at Adorn Uptown is awesome and got my Philthrum all fixed up!
I'm so happy that Adorn listens to their clients and corrects their mistakes. I wish all businesses stood behind their work like this. Because Adorn was able to swiftly take care of my problem (too long philthrum post, and missed video call appointment to walk me through changing it myself) I have confidence recommending them for all your piercing needs again.
I have now been to all 3 locations and can attest to how pretty and clean all 3 locations are. Ben and Britt (and previously Emily Rose) have all pierced me and have been awesome.
Thanks Adorn for providing great customer service! I will definitely see them again for more piercings and jewellery.
Rachel Isherwood
Jamisen did my septum piercing and was AMAZING super professional, knew what he was doing, smooth and painfree!!! easiest piercing and I've had my tounge, both tragus, rook!
