Reviews of Black Hole Body Piercing

Jaydra Perfetti

I have pierced at Black Hole 3 times. Once when I was a teenager with my mom to get my nose pierced (it was allowed with parental consent at that time), once in my 20’s to get my lip pierced, and once very recently for second ear lobe piercings. I’ve also been in a handful of times for jewelry or advice. That’s more than 20 years of great service from these people. Every time they have been fantastic to work with, no matter who it is that’s working there. Clean and sanitary equipment and jewelry. Terrific communication about after care instructions and healing time. I will absolutely be back for any and all future piercings. These folks are the best.

I went to Black Hole to get a vertical philtrum with Rachel, and I'm super happy with the experience from start to finish. I had a lot of questions about the healing process and jewelry choices, and both Rachel and Veridian were super patient with me and answered all my questions in a knowledgeable, friendly, and professional way. I also recently had some concerns about how it was healing, and they were able to get me in right away to get it looked at by a different piercer, who was really helpful and reassuring and who also took extra time to chat with me about jewelry. I'll definitely keep Black Hole in mind for future piercings!

Colter was amazing! So inviting and made me feel great during my short piercing appointment with him. The staff behind the counter was also very welcoming.

Leila Rovics

Blest place to get piercings! All the staff are super friendly no matter who you schedule with, the prices are very fair, and every piercing comes with complimentary saline solution. Love it :)

Lexi (Lexi)

Thankful for the amazing person who helped me out in a pinch. My nose ring of 8 years fell out in my sleep and I couldn't remember my hoop size. Im mostly homebound so its really hard to go in to make sure the size is right but the associate/piercer helped me figure it out over the phone so my partner could pick a new hoop up for me. I almost forgot to add a review but I was so impressed by the customer service and willingness to help me, when it was own fault for not knowing my size, that I had to come write this. Thanks again!

Nieves

The Portland location is my favorite! So nice, and they always do a great job! I’m not that excited to go to the Beaverton location, they seem more snippy and just rude and lack customer service skills. However I will definitely go back to the Portland location!!

Misch

I came across these old pictures that I took a few years ago, and I remember this as being a great place to get tattooed… I had a few stars redone on my legs. I am not sure if he still works here, but I was tattooed by Xavier. Otherwise, this is a solid place to get tattooed.

Christian Chavez

I had to post a review here about the amazing experience we had! My brother and I went in for a 2 person, earlobe piercing. The staff was very friendly and funny and took lots of time to answer questions and let us try on different studs. As they were piercing our ears, they let us know of everything they were doing and made it super easy. Also very COVID-safe! 10/10 will return for any more piercing and potential tattoo work!

Kelly Arme

I had a great experience for a helix piercing- so smooth and easy. Online scheduling, call when you arrive to be let in (yay for still having Covid policies!!), pick your jewelry, and get pierced. Colter was my piercer and explained the process for the piercing and aftercare instructions very well. Thank you!

Jazzmine Natale

Colter is incredible. Walked me and my friend through every step of the process for our piercings. It helped so much since we were nervous. Went so much more smooth and easy than anticipated all thanks to them. Black Hole itself made me feel comfortable and welcome to be there. Thank you, Colter! Appreciate you and the team!

Dakota Rayne

It was awesome! I struggle with a lot of social anxiety. Just being around people is really hard for me but they made me feel really comfortable and safe. Rachel was great. She had a bubbly energy, explained everything thoroughly, told me what to expect and explained everything she was doing as it was happening. My septum piercing looks great and I'll definitely be back for more piercings in the future.

Jade “Krow” Swim

Love this place for how patient they are during the piercing process, the only thing that sucks is no one is ever there to answer your phone calls. And you can’t leave voicemails, there isn’t ever an option or way to. So be ready to call 10x in a row lol.

lisa nacoste

Awesome employees. Always happy to help us. We won't go anywhere else for piercings. Highly recommended.

Niko Cooper

I love this shop 💙 They always get my name and pronouns right, and Rachel is awesome for explaining exactly what's happening and when during the actual piercing. I haven't gone anywhere else in my 5 years of living in Portland. …

Emily

Colter did an awesome job! Super informative and walked me through each step. Love my new piercing!

Amanda Paull

I got my ears pierced for the very first time (at age 28!) here with Otto. They were really nice and walked me through the whole process. I got a lot of info on how to properly take care of my ears. I visited again about 2 months later as a check-in as well as decreasing the post size and once more another 2 months later to make sure my ears had healed enough for me to change my earrings. Each time was a pleasant and informative visit. Thank you, Otto! My ears look great! I’m definitely happy I went to a professional to get my piercings and not a mall kiosk or Claire’s.

Sarah Hueni

I had my second industrial on my left ear done, and was helped by Otto at the front desk with Jack as my piercer! Both of them were SO professional and helpful, cracking jokes and making conversation. It was Jack's first time doing a duo industrial and they killed it! I am in love. Thank you guys!! ❤

Jessica Boyd

I had my septum pierced at the Glisan location this past week. The shop was clean, and everyone is still masked up indoors. Colter was professional, explained the whole process, and was a perfectionist about his work. I have a crooked septum and a small sweet spot. The result is straight and the process was almost painless. I would recommend Black Hole & Colter to anyone looking for a new hole.

Lily Mueller

They went above & beyond to fix my septum! Really appreciate them as a business & Colton is so sweet!

Brooke Reichert

I had great customer service today and Colter was very gentle/informative during my piercing change. I have had excellent experiences with both the Beaverton and Hawthorne Black Hole locations. I'd recommend this place to a friend and will be going back for my next piercing!

Jenny Tiller

I got my philtrum pierced by Rachel! Everyone at this shop is so kind and knowledgeable. Definitely glad I went here to get pierced! Rachel was very sweet and I felt so comfortable and cared for while being there. :)

Bonnie Bear

They were super kind and friendly, I truly felt welcomed there which isn’t too common for me due to my being-a-witch thing. I got the whole walkthrough before the piercing and felt very comfortable with their process and tools. It honestly wasn’t too expensive for that kinda service too. I’m definitely coming back ☺️🖤 …

Nathan Marchese

Jasper is very professional and does awesome art/tattoo work. Highly recommend going here for tattoos and piercings. The staff are really good vibes and things are very clean.

Sofia Suardi

I had a great first tattoo experience with Kyle! He designed a beautiful piece for me based on reference pictures and was patient with the few revisions that I requested. I enjoyed chatting with him as he worked on the tattoo, and he was great about checking in with me to see how I was doing and making sure I was comfortable. It turned out exactly as I had hoped, super delicate and well-placed! I would totally come back if I pass through Portland again!

Alayna Waldo

Black Hole is my go to for piercings, & just got my tattoo from Isaiah! Always amazing work from these guys, thank you!

R Raw

Isaiah is THE BEST!! Ask him for his custom art for something unique and special

whitnee goode

I got my septum pierced by Rachel and had a wonderful experience. It barely even hurt and I felt very comfortable and cared for. I'm pretty sure I got pierced by one of the best out there. It was so much better than I was expecting. Also, my piercing is healing up so quickly...

Kara Miller

I got my nipples pierced here in July 2019. The person who did it was very quick, clean, and friendly. They made it super comfortable for me to pop off my shirt and keep it off for the appointment, which was really kind! The price was fair and they told me to come back if I have any problems, and said they’d change the piercings for me (after they healed) no charge. Great place with great people!

Giovanni Betancourt

Kyle did an amazing job on my first tattoo! He was very flexible and patient for letting me choose the exact location I wanted my tat and just a very genuine person. I previously had been to the Beaverton location for my earlobe piercings and I came to the Portland location for my tattoo. Both have amazing artists and piercers, they have all only been super welcoming, easy to talk to, and both places are very clean!

Amanda Miller

Went in yesterday to get both nipples pierced, Jack was super polite and professional and took time to make sure they were marked perfectly (I wanted a 45 degree angle rather than horizontal). The shop was very clean and nice vibes. I'm a pretty anxious person and they made me super comfortable and confident getting pierced, even with some scar tissue I was worried about from a previous piercing. Won't know how they do until they have more time to heal but very minimal pain during and after, and I absolutely love how they look! Honestly a little bit more expensive than some other shops I looked at but I'd totally come again in the future! Might be back for some tattoos soon too 🙃

Kaylyn Mcculley

Kyle did so awesome on my moth tattoo! He was very educated and communicative and knew exactly what he was doing. He made sure if fit just right on my arm; evened perfectly. I will definitely be returning for my next and would recommend anyone looking for their next piece; he's the guy! Thanks again !

Isabella V

I took my 6 year old daughter to get her ears pierced here this summer. The person helping us was so friendly and knowledgeable. I felt really comfortable that they knew what they were doing and that my daughter was in good hands. We ended up staying there for a good hour at least but it was worth it because my daughter's ears looked amazing and to this day they have not gotten infected or anything like that at all. It was a great experience and I'm thankful for the care we received!

Julian Younger

The staff were incredibly helpful and respectful! They are taking health precautions very seriously, and the studio was very clean. They helped me pick out new and safer jewelry than what I had been wearing, and Rachael helped my replace all of it as well as stretch my ears. I felt very comfortable and will definitely be going back in the future!

Anneka Veldstra-Root

Absolutely love this place I’ve gotten two piercings here and will get a lot more here in the future. I got my septum and vertical labret done here and they are both in perfect placement. Staff is amazing always fun and very nice. The staff always makes sure you know all the things you need to know about your piercing and the healing process. Love them so much!!

Drew Reese

Went by today to get a piercing and was incredibly pleased with my experience. I've always been uncomfortable going to tattoo/piercing shops because I feel like most are really pretentious. Not here, the entire staff was super friendly and welcoming. Incredibly happy to give you all of the information you need about all of the options you have. It's been 5 or so years since I last got a piercing and I was really stoked about the service I got there today. Matte was awesome, just a friendly guy who seems to love his job. The lady up front was awesome too, we had good conversation. Wish I got her name but she was fantastic!

Elizabeth Tremaine

I had a GREAT experience at Black Hole! I came in on a Tuesday and I happened to be able to walk right in (the timing was luck, because after I was done, there was a small line). The jewelry was gorgeous, if on the pricey side, but I knew I wouldn't need to be concerned about the quality. But the best part was the actual piercing! I was getting my first cartilage piercings ever, and I was nervous. Rachael handled it like such a pro! She didn't engage/encourage my nervous comments, but instead redirected my attention by getting me to talk about comfortable things. She was thoughtful about placement and guided my breathing during the piercing... Just so great!! I will come back here for any future piercing needs. Update: I went back for a rook piercing last week, and I received the same steller level of service. So happy with this place!

Claire Reneau

Kyle did a phenomenal job with my willow and urn tattoo! It’s perfect and I’m in love with it. I get compliments all the time. He was a clear communicator, easy to work with, and super fun to chat with.

Johnnai Veals

I love this shop. I’ve gotten my nose pierced here and anytime I had questions or a problem they were glad to help. They have helped me change out my nose ring and suggested jewelry that would work with my ultra sensitive skin. I even came back for a tattoo and they did an amazing job!! I will be back in shorty for a few more tattoos and another piercing. I always recommend this place and the workers here make you feel comfortable and welcomed. Thanks so much! ❤️

Erin Maylor

Kyle did my tattoo, and I’m such a nit picky person but he did exactly what I wanted. From making a small little design to placing it in a tough area, everything about my tattoo is perfect for me. Definitely will be my new tattoo artist in Portland!

Amanda Bradley

I got my septum pierced here by Rachel and that woman knows her craft! It’s healing beautifully. She explained everything to me thoroughly and walked me through it step by step. I can’t say enough good about her. She also did an anatomy consult for me for a future piercing. 10/10 will definitely see her again. Amazing staff with excellent customer service!!

Xess Dx

Really professional, friendly, and skilled staff, clean clean clean, and great selection of jewelry. The new automated appointment scheduling system works great (love the text message reminder), and their pricing is surprisingly reasonable for the quality of services. Great shop!

Hailey DeMarre

Recently got a white ink tattoo here and the experience was great. It didn't hurt (I'm weird, I know) and the artist talked to us the entire time he was doing it. He did a fantastic job and was super friendly and interesting! Next time I get a tattoo, I'll definitely be returning here. The whole place was clean and professional. I'm very happy with the result :)

Claude And

Emily did my consult when we walked in last night. They do take walk ins on piercings up till 730 but we came in at 8. Even though they were closed they both took the time to talk with us and did not rush us in the least. We came back today at a set time. Emily did a great, quick job on my industrial piercing. I've had other body and ear piercings and this was my best experience for sure. I will go back and will be using them to order good jewelry for my piercings. I am likely to get a tattoo there as well. Update: I have now have had two tattoos there and have loved working with Xavier. Since my original review I have been pierced by Kyle as well. It's all good :)

Jade

I've been to this location several times for piercings or jewelry installs (Otto is great!). Staff is always professional and knowledgeable. Fair prices for services. Definitely recommend!

Breanna Browning

This place is absolutely amazing! I went here to get my upper cartilage pierced on my ear and everyone there was extremely welcoming and friendly! I got my nose pierced at another piercing place and the owner was extremely condescending when answering my questions about after care (this was my first piercing so I had a lot of questions) but the man who did my ear (Kyle) was the opposite. He helped me pick out the perfect location by offering me a couple of different placement options (the guy who did my nose gave me one and told me not to argue because he was the expert), Kyle explained exactly what was going to happen and was very quick with the piercing, he also took the time to thoroughly go over after care instructions and answer any questions I had. The location is extremely clean and the staff is so kind and welcoming! I would recommend Black Hole to anyone and plan on coming back for any piercings I get in the future!

Morgan Baker

I made an appointment to get my first tattoo and left with three. Kyle was a total dream to work with. I was SO nervous and he made me feel so comfortable. I cannot wait to plan more tattoos. He is so sweet and makes sure you're comfortable and also his work is absolutely phenomenal. I am so happy with my tattoos!!!pictures posted with permission :) couldn't recommend a better tattoo artist.

meesha fenton

So I went in to get my tongue pierced and I was a little nervous, but Matteo did a wonderful job. He made me feel comfortable and it was quick and as painless as possible. I love Black hole and had a few of my piercings done here. I will continue to come back and get more. Everyone is extremely nice if you have never been and you want a piercing definitely go check them out. :D

Erica Bull

I've gotten one tattoo here and have recommended it to all my friends, who have gotten two more that I know of. No problems ever, very clean, very kind. Planning to come back for more! Friend also got a rook piercing here which has been healing great.

Dianalyn O'Brien

The people here were great! Rachael is very gentle and knowledgeable! When I want more piercings, I'll definitely go back to her! Because of how awesome the people are and how comfortable the place is, I'll highly consider going to them for future tattoos, too.

Bridgette Houser

Kyle did an AMAZING job on my butterfly tattoos, I was so happy with the way they turned out. He made sure that the design and placement was everything I wanted and was super great throughout the appointment.

Ethan Uebel

Very clean and professional. Good quality jewelry and top tier piercers and tattoo artists. Any body modification is essentially minor surgery, and as such they take sanitation seriously while still managing to be personable and fun. Both locations are great. Stop in and get a new tattoo or piercing. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TOOOOO!

David Rodriguez

My sister and I got tattoos together at Black Hole, and it was a fantastic experience. Isaiah and Nathan were our artists, and both were really great. They were happy to accommodate us for a walk-in, and were really patient while we deliberated. We came in knowing that we wanted to get matching heads of garlic, but without a specific image. Isaiah helped us create an image we both loved (and was happy to re-draw it several times). Nathan and Isaiah both did a phenomenal job with our ink, they were really nice, and made us feel extremely comfortable. I will definitely visit Black Hole again.

Jessey Schuler

I may have already posted a review but it was when I was pierced by Matteo. On Saturday I went in for a piercing and Rachel was on duty. She was wonderful, didn't rush me, and let me take my time making the decision. The receptionist gentleman is always friendly answering the phone no matter how trivial the question might be. This is my 3rd piercing with Black Hole and I can't imagine going anywhere else.

Katrina Meyer

Oddly enough, I like this place because they told me “no.” I went in wanting another cartilage piercing below a currently angry piercing, and they took one look at it and said, “Absolutely not.” They explained it wouldn’t heal well with two so close to each other, but what they could do was change the jewelry on the angry piercing to help it heal better and I could come back in a few months for the other. It seemed ethical and responsible and I really appreciated it. They also had a decent selection of jewelry for the other piercings I wanted to change out, painlessly helped me size up on one, and were clean and professional. I’ll be back.

R Murray

The entire staff at Black Hole is a pleasure to work with. I went in for a couple of mini tattoos while my friend got a piercing upstairs and we both received amazing, professional service. I've never had a bad experience here and recommend them to everyone I know.

Leslie Lothamer

My 11 year old got her ears pierced here. Jack was kind, patient, fast and just did a great job. I recommend for children's ear piercing 100%.

Rae Kerrins

I go the Black Hole for all my piercings and tattoos, they're friendly, clean, and accommodating and I highly recommend them. My vertical labret was quick and painless, and they also replaced the bar for me when it got too big. Currently waiting to get my new tattoo next week (late March) and I'm super excited.

Maverick Brew

The piercers here are so friendly and helpful. They helped my friends figure out exactly what they wanted and were quick to aid in finding a price range of jewelry that worked best for them. Will definitely be coming back!

Jackson Howa

I and two friends came in with no appointment to get three different piercings. We were immediately greeted and helped by an employee who was actually *off shift*! We were pierced by Kyle, who was super friendly, thorough, and patient (we were a bit high maintenance). We are all very satisfied with the staff and their work and would recommend Black Hole to anyone looking for a piercing.

mallarkie boi

The staff was so nice and welcoming. My piercing healed beautifully and they warned me beforehand of all things to avoid and were very in-depth. They genuinely care about their clients!

Jacqueline Donnelly

Friendly staff with a calming presence. They were very knowledgeable with piercing and genuinely happy to help their customers! I was also impressed over how family friendly they were! Highly recommend this place to anyone who is interested in a piercing!

Jessie Layng

Have gone to Black Hole periodically for piercings since 98!! Not only have I ALWAYS had the BEST customer service, but they are the CLEANEST shop I've been to!! I've gone to one other place for piercings & ALWAYS return to Black Hole!!! My 14 year old daughter wants a nostril piercing for her 15th birthday & I'm bringing her HERE!!!! Black Hole has ONLY the BEST working at their shop & I LOVE them for that!!! Thanks Black Hole!!! Will be seeing you the beginning of July!!!!!!!

Matt

The people were very friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone there was very professional and it was by far the best experience my family and I have had getting piercings. This is now our go to place for piercings.

Auden Heitzler

This place is amazing! Every time I go in, the staff are extremely kind and the piercers are great at their job. They have a fairly wide selection of high quality jewelry. Not cheap, but definitely worth the price.

Sarah Hopper

I went to the West Side shop to get my first cartilage piercing -- I wasn't sure what to expect, since I've never been to a piercing place before. I had a great experience -- everyone was really friendly and cool, the piercing only cost me $30, there's a nice selection of jewelry to choose from, and everything was explained clearly. Emily was really nice and professional, and the piercing was fast and pretty painless. I would totally recommend Black Hole and plan to go back if I ever want another piercing.

Emma Smith

I have gone to the West side location numerous times before and the East side location is just as friendly. They answered any questions I had and explained things I didn't understand as well as the process. I got a few more opals for my lip piercings as well as got my tongue pierced. I was an enjoyable experience tho it did hurt. I have to say getting my tongue pierced was one of the more painful piercings I have gotten out of the 11 others. I ordered other opals to change the one I have currently in/on my tongue, I don't know how long it'll take but it was easy enough. The piercer checked to make sure my anatomy would allow for a tongue piercing and they didn't rush through anything. It was well done and I spent more that I probably should have, but I regret nothing. I can't say nicer things about them. I haven't had a bad experience with Black Hole. I'm only into day 2 of healing so I can't give all the details yet.

Kelsey Faber-Hammond

I had a piercing done today and a jewelry change on a second piercing with Otto! I’m very happy with the whole experience and everything turned out exactly as I wanted! I will definitely be going back!

Lina Ines Rodriguez

Isaiah and Nathan are fantastic! My brother and I walked-in pretty late on a Saturday for matching garlic tattoos and they were really accommodating. We had an idea of what we wanted, but not an exact picture. Isaiah worked with us and even re-drew the stencil when I decided I wanted something a little different. Isaiah did my tattoo - it was my first - and made me feel totally comfortable. He helped me decide where to put it, moved the stencil several times for me, and was just so nice through the entire process. I LOVE the tattoo - it has that botanical drawing look and is exactly what I wanted. He also touched it up for free about a month later. Nathan did my brother's and it also looks great. I would recommend this spot to anyone.

Jorian Guard

Big shout out to Darcy and Bird! Amazing customer service! Incredibly respectful and knowledgeable and helpful. (Bird helped me transition from cheap tapers to real stretching plugs.) They explicitly stated they aren't going to just try to sell us services just to do it, they want their work make their customers happy and heal beautifully. Gorgeous selection of jewelry, in all kinds of price ranges. Darcy pierced my friend's nose and my boyfriend's septum -- they look fantastic! Can't reccomend Black Hole enough, I won't go to any other shop again. (Sorry!!)

MaryEllen Stesney

Clean, Rachel was very calming when I wasn't sure whether or not I wanted a second piercing. Granddaughter also had her ears pierced and is very happy.

Jenn Mainero

Matthew Holmes is even better than the reviews all claim! I added 2 piercings to cartilage on one ear (they are PERFECTLY even!) & then FINALLY pierced my nose. Matthew was meticulous about placement, cleanliness, explaining everything- the entire process. He is also just a lovely human being! I enjoyed just chatting with him. :o) The entire process was quick & almost painless. (Just a quick “Damn” for the nose piercing, but not bad at all! Pain was gone as soon as the needle was through.) Thank you Matthew! I am so pleased!!!

Elizabeth Pettit

I was tattooed by Isaiah and I couldn't have been happier with my experience. Side from the shop being clean, the staff are all very helpful and knowledgable. Of all my tattoos, this one is my favorite. I have people stopping me out in public asking about it all the time. The art work is beautiful. Isaiah is friendly and one of the happiest people I've encountered in a long time. You can tell he loves what he does and it shows in his work. The time flew by! Don't go anywhere else!!!

McKenzie Arnold

Amazing service! Even though they were a staff member short, I was in and out very quickly. Kyle was amazing and had an awesome bedside manner. Loved the jewelry and I'm definitely going back for my tattoos.

Madeleine Sawicki

I love Black Hole. I got my nose pierced here and had a lot of healing problems which they definitely helped me through. They really know what they're doing, and I have never felt like they are valuing my money over what is best for me. If anything, they have encouraged me not to get certain piercings, etc. I wouldn't go anywhere else for a piercing!!

R

I was nervous to get my nose pierced, as this was my first experience with anything except my earlobes at the mall as a kid. The attitude and friendly staff here really helped me get over my fear. The girl at the front desk was friendly, helpful, FAST (important when you're nervous). Kyle was my piercing dude, and he was very professional, sanitary, tidy, etc. Before I knew it, everything was over and BOOM another life goal knocked out of the park. Like other people said, I do wish they had a larger selection of starter jewelry, but to be fair, once this heals up I'll be able to buy jewelry just about anywhere, the most important part is that the piercing starts off well. Clear aftercare instructions; staff invites you back if you need help or have questions. My husband went back the next day and got a tattoo!

Annie Coffman

We had a great experience, Isaiah did a beautiful job on my first tattoos, and Matteo was excellent with my daughters septum piercing. We're going to want to come back soon for sure!

R GW

Friendly, knowledgeable, CLEAN! Only piercings I've gotten that has not gotten infected, I got here. Rachel was my piercer (I think that was her name, forgive me if that's not it!) and she also gave me the info about a guy who handmakes beautiful natural stone plugs for affordable prices. Once my ears are stretched to where I want them, I'm getting lapis stone plugs for them from the guy.

Jennifer Cruz-Rodriguez

I got my cartilage pierced and the staff were really great. They answered all my questions they were nice and well informed about everything. I was supper nervous but they made me feel comfortable and explained everything to me with great detail.

Elle Larsen

This was my first time to this shop the girls were so cool they were really helpful and really nice. I absolutely love my piercings. Keep up the awesome work and great attitude. I will definitely be back : )

Julianna Digby

Walked in, they were busy with 10 piercings ahead of me. They still got me all signed up and told me they would call me when they were ready for me but also gave me a very accurate time frame. I came back in when they called waited about 5 minutes before they were ready for me. Rachael was very professional and awesome!

Valarie Cooley

Clean, professional piercing service with a knowledgable staff that help you understand everything you need to know about keeping your piercings clean and on the right track to healing. Walk in wait times can be a little long, even if you are just looking at jewelry so I recommend making an appointment or giving yourself plenty of time.

Lori Sullivan

I was a total pain and changed my mind about the jewelry several times. Randy and John were super patient, helpful and friendly. I needed to downsize my jewelry before it was healed completely because it was too long and getting caught up while I tried to sleep. The place that did the peircing (4 weeks ago) refused to change it until two months for healing (I get it, but I seriously couldn't sleep with it anymore). Thanks to Black Hole, I'll sleep well tonight!

Rachel James

It was fantastic. Matteo and Randy took care to explain the healing process of what I was getting. Matteo was absolutely amazing, he was funny and personable and made the whole situation a lot easier. I have needle phobia but that wasn't about to stop me and Matteo made it easy to forget about it. My husband jumped more than I did😅 …

Matteo Mars EL MAR

I got the guest piercer, Allan. They were excellent. I love my nose piercing.

Joshua Lavinsky

Had my nostril done by Rachael today, what a great experience! Rachael’s got the smoothest follow through that I’ve expierced, very gentle and efficient, barely even noticed! I highly recommend, and will be going here for all future needs.

J. Kimberly Walker

Got my nose finally pierced, Colter was amazing, explained every step, very patient, answered all my questions...was a great experience.

Stacy Knuth

I've been in the shop several times, to buy jewelry, and to have my daughter's ears pierced. I've met many of the piercers, including Andrew, Najwa, Britney and Emily. They are all knowledgeable, and friendly! When I took my daughter to get her ears done, I was very impressed with Emily in terms of how she answered my daughter's questions and explained everything. She ended up only getting one ear done the first day, but the shop held onto her other autoclaved CBR so she would have a matched pair. We went in 2 days later and Britney pierced her other ear, she was equally good with kids and professional. Love this shop!

Madalyn F.

Great staff and so friendly. I was taken care of very well. They were very thorough. Piercing was quick and easy and so clean. Really spendy though but worth it.

Kimberly Cruse

Support this shop! This was probably my 5th visit to Black Hole. They've always been very friendly and helpful. Thank you for suggesting the smaller rose gold nose ring! It's perfect. You two were really great.

Courtney Earls

Zack did me and my friends tattoo today and I had a great experience! He was very kind and all of us had nothing but great conversations. And the tattoos he did look amazing! I'm so happy

Alexandra McGee

Isaiah the tattoo artist is amazing and the most relatable artist I've met. The shop is very clean and we'll kept! I'm so excited to go back to him in a few months.

Melinda

Took my daughter for her first piercing. Piercer was kind and gentle talking her through entire thing. Shop was clean and had a great selection of jewelry. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Rebecca Andersson

Mateo was great. Good bedside manner, funny, friendly, laid back. He tapered my old piercings back up free of charge and installed my new pretty jewelry! Very happy.

Abel DiGiorno

Ive had my tragus, septum and navel pierced there and I haven't had any alignment issues or healing issues at all. The staff were also amazing and I had a different piercer each time.

I just went here to get a nose ring to replace my stud, but I found the person who helped me to be extremely nice and friendly. I don't know much about tattoos and piercings so I always feel a little intimidated in these kinds of shops, but I didn't get that feeling here. Great experience, fast service, and good prices.

I dropped in to BH one evening to see about getting some ink. I was in to set an appointment expecting to be on a waiting list. I was pleasantly shocked when the artist invited me to come back THE NEXT DAY..........not even 5 minutes speaking with the artist and he was set and invited me back within 24 hours. The whole process was smooth and relaxed leaving me feeling like I belonged in the shop. I was extremely impressed with the whole experience. I barely even knew we started. The gun was quiet, the artist kept conversation , and I was relaxed. Other than the weird positions needed to do the work.....I could have sat in the chair way longer than the 2 hours. I'm only 2 days out with the new ink, but I have no discomfort or worries over the Tattoo. As long as I quit bumping it and leaning on it.....but hey, that's my problem, right? The work is solid and BETTER than I hoped for!! I have to say......this will be my PDX Artist from here on.

Christina Ballaris

Wonderful experience! Friendlyand informative staff. Cleanliness could not have been better. Never thought I would ever step foot in a tattoo shop, but would highly reccommend Black Hole as the place to go for ear piercing.

Phil Casper

Just got conches done by Kyle and it was great. No doubt it hurt, but it was done very professionally, and his confidence helped to keep me relaxed and peaceful. Its not a loud music banging high tension place, and that is perfect for getting a good experience. Kyle is knowledgeable and honest. I definitely recommend him and Black Hole.

Grace Ball

Wow I love this place so much. I’ve gotten 3 ear piercings here and they are always sooo nice and helpful. They are not intimidating at all and make the experience so wonderful. Highly recommend.

Patricia Leming

I had a great experience with Black Hole. I had both of my Daith pierced by Matteo. He was funny, friendly and professional. Everything was super clean. I will definitely be back. Thanks 😊 …

Natasha Bush

Just pierced my septum and belly button; I couldn't be happier! The ladies there were very friendly, informative and rad. I'd recommend this shop to anyone, the pricing was pretty fair and I feel pretty stoked about the results.

Jeremy Cook

Great service, super friendly, and extra accommodating to people in town for just the day. Took care of my birthday girl like a princess! Great selection and reasonable prices!

Maura Powers

there was a bit of a wait because there were lots of people. while waiting, I got to pick out my jewelry and go over after care and what to do's and what not to do's. I was very nervous and kyle walked through everything he was doing and why, which helped keep me calm. it was painless And fast and it looks amazing. I almost passed out and he helped me get water and a glucose tablet and made sure I felt (and looked) normal before leaving and again ensured I knew how to take care of my septum. will definitely be going back if I decide to get more((:

Natalie Blankenship

I love this place always the cleanest health and safety conscious tattoo and body peircing place I have ever been to. I have been going to more than one of their locations for years and they are always consistent. The staff always help with their professional thoughts, they're friendly and patient. I would recommend this place 100% so much so I brought my daughter here for her first peircing.

Tammi Heneveld

Rachel was incredibly nice and professional, and everything the room looked incredibly clean and sterile! Felt like I was in great hands the whole time. Will recommend them to everyone.

Denise Kelsch

All who work at The Black Hole are awesome! Excellent service with a smile

Bonnie Vandercook

Extremely patient. I thought I knew what I wanted going in, but changed my mind at the last minute. Jack had absolutely no problem with that. I am also deaf. Everything was explained to me through texting. Would definitely recommend.

Amanda Couch

I recently got a tattoo done here by Isaiah! He was professional and made the appointment fun! He has a light touch. He does amazing work! Love this shop.

Mariah Aylett

I got my septum pierced a few days ago. And my labret pierced here about a year ago. I Looove this place, i don't remember who pierced my labret but he had face tattoos and was very professional, same with Rachel who pierced my septum, very good experience both times and both my piercings are even and perfect.

Reed Millar

Clean and covid safe. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Good jewelry selection. 10/10 would let them stab my ears again.

Matteo was super. Personable, professional, and just had some good energy. He was able to re-open my old nose piercing that I thought had been closed for a good 5 years. Kudos!

Paull LLC

Folks here are very Hip, but won't make you feel bad if you are Not Hip. All are courteous and professional. If You, or a loved one is seeking to follow the path of Fakir, or just looking for a tiny Blue Dot on their patella somewhere, You Will Be Well Taken Care Of post-event horizon.

Tim Blair

Zach was a great artist. With no prior planning, Girlfriend and I walked in and came out with better tattoos than we could have expected. Get your line work done by Zach Cox.

Ben

The folks here may look scary (sorry guys), but they have always been nothing but helpful, professional, and friendly when I'm in. I've gotten assistance here with my septum piercing numerous times and they usually have just the stainless piece I need when I need it. I have had no reason to go anywhere else for my piercing needs.

D Adam Nash Bird

Rachel and staff were super helpful and low pressure.

finn

i had a really good experience here and i highly recommend!!!! i only have one other piercing that i got when i was seven and im generally very afraid of needles but Rachel did my septum piercing and she was very kind and reassuring and answered all my questions and walked me through the whole process before and during and it went great :]!! i’m 16 so my mom had to be there and i noticed on the like consent form(?) that if you’re a minor, they have certain parts for the adult you bring with you to sign and certain parts for you to sign so basically only you get to write your name and pronouns (and you don’t have to put your legal name) not your parents and that makes me very happy and i hope it makes other trans people happy too!! i am very happy with my piercing and will definitely go back here if i want to get more :]]

Liv Katz

Always my go to piercing shop!! Rachel has done a few of my piercings and she does amazing work. Very grateful for her honestly and willingness to help figure out the best piercing positioning and making sure it's going to actually work for my facial structure. Always recommend her for quality piercings!
