Reviews of KOI Piercing Studio
Cheyenne Calkins
Friendly, fast, and knowledgeable! I got my daith pierced by Michelle, who made me feel soooo comfortable throughout the whole process! The studio was clean and well organized. Definitely the best piercing experience I've ever had. A+
Scout Fairbrother
I brought my 8 year old here to get her first lobe piercing and my second lobe piercing. Both my daughter and I were a little nervous but the minute we walked in, the front desk was so welcoming. Our piercer Jade was so nice! She explained everything clearly and make sure my daughter wanted to continue on her own. She walked us through every step and made sure we were comfortable and happy before we we left. Would definitely recommend.
Ellie Gibson
Throughout the years, all of my friends have always said, “Go to KOI!! If you’re getting a piercing, you have to go to KOI!!” They weren’t joking. I have never had a better piercing experience than when I went to Koi. It was miles better than the traumatic experience you get at Claire’s lol. Jade did my Daith piercing about a year ago and it’s been my only piercing to heal without any issues! She was quick and gave me thorough guidance on how to care for it during the long healing process. If you’re considering a piercing, absolutely book at Koi!
Meagen Mace
I've had only one less-than-stellar experience at this piercing studio, and it was with someone visiting their store. I've been there at least a dozen times. Much better experience here then at the studio where I moved. In fact, my experience has been so good that I come up to koi on my vacations to get things looked at and fixed. Whoever pierces you gives you their phone number so you can text pictures or ask questions when you're not there at the studio. I always feel more educated when I leave. The girls at the front desk actually know what they're talking about and can do good assessments. They're not just people at the register. The entire operation is professional and pleasant.

My 12yo and I went to KOI for our first ear piercings together. We were nervous and excited, but the staff made us feel more comfortable. We were give clear explanations about what was happening during our piercings, and how to care for them. Our piercings were carefully marked and checked to see that they were level/even on our lobes. We're both so happy with how they turned out.
While it was worth the expense, I wish the breakdown of pricing was more clear on the website. I didn't realize we'd be paying for the piercing, plus the additional charges for each stud. I thought the pricing listed on the website included everything.
Sam
Love, love, this piercing studio. I have had my naval and nipples pierced here. The jewelry is expensive but well worth it. Love that they still make customers wear masks to keep staff and community members safe.
Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Cat, she was so sweet, kind and patient while I made up my mind about a new belly ring.
Thank you Koi!
DREA. ROCKS
Very nice employee Brenda if I remember her name correctly . It was very helpful sharing her advice on different piercings and different jewelry for different parts of the body. Face mask required.
Victoria Scolpino
What an amazing experience! At every point of interaction, the staff at KOI were beyond welcoming and professional. The jewelry is gorgeous and the process seamless. Shout out to Michelle for my double helix. They ensured I was comfortable and involved every step of the way! Look no further for a piercing studio- this is a phenomenal spot.
Veronica Miller
I've been to this studio several times, some times to pierce myself, other times to support friends. I'm always extremely pleased with their aseptic techniques and methods of sterility and cleanliness. All the stories I've heard of those getting their piercings done here and I've yet to hear a negative experience. Their staff is always so respectful, informative and punctual. Their piercers are also so patient and understanding through the whole process; never pushy or in a hurry to get through their clients. I will always recommend Koi to anyone looking to get their next piercing
Mars Jacobsen
A world class place to get pierced! Everyone here is so supportive, knowledgeable, and friendly. You'll as comfortable as it's possible to be while getting stabbed at Koi. In addition, I really appreciate their dedication to health and safety here. The place is absolutely spotless, and I'm a big fan of the continued mask mandate. It's a space everyone can feel at ease in.

I got my tongue pierced here by Michelle they did an amazing job with the piercing everything was clean and they answered all my questions and made me feel safe. The staff was nice and helpful. It was A little pricey ($95 before tip) but you get what you pay for so I think it was worth the price 10/10 experience! :)
Rock Larsen
I went here with my wife and mom. Mom got a conch and wife got double forward helix. They had such a good experience that they insisted I leave a good review. The staff and piercer Michelle were very kind and professional. Thanks!
Bryn Etheridge
This was an incredible experience! I was a little bit nervous about getting my nose pierced, but everyone made me feel really comfortable and safe. After the piercing was done, the staff all hyped me up and told me how good it looked and made me feel great. Will definitely be returning in the future!
abbey reynolds
I got my rook pierced here years ago and had my nipples pierced somewhere else. I had to take them out for certain reasons and decided to come back to Koi when I wanted them done again. Jade did my nipple piercings and she did an AMAZING job. She was really informative, calming, and overall had a great demeanor throughout the entire piercing appointment. I was super nervous to get them done again but I was surprisingly calm the entire time! Jade was the best! I've been to cheaper places before but I do believe you get exactly what you pay for and I am super glad I came back.
Janet Roberts
Excellent!!!
I had my granddaughters nose pierced for her birthday. Kat was so kind & gentle. She absolutely loves her piercing. Scheduling was fast & service was excellent.
Thank you everyone at KOI Piercing! ♥️
Much love,
Grandma from Montana 🇺🇸
Dani Blake
Got my conch pierced by Cat, she was super skilled and efficient. Will definitely be returning to her for future piercings! The individuals at the front desk were very helpful as well, and extremely transparent about pricing, very refreshing! Wonderful experience, 12/10 would recommend.
McKell Heywood
I’ve been pierced here a few times. All of them were amazing and professional, but the most recent time the piercer didn’t really have a friendly attitude, which for the piercing I got I feel like he should have been a little more supportive. Other than that instance they are phenomenal and my go to for piercings!
Kenzie Allen
I got my navel pierced by Jade last weekend and it was such an easy experience. She was transparent, informative, and super comforting during the whole process. Everyone there was helpful and made the whole thing that much easier. Highly Recommend!
Rie Mathews
I am an absolute wimp, but Cat made the experience much easier. She was super calm, told me literally everything she was doing, step-by-step, and was super chill about my amazing abilities to bleed and cry. A hundred stars for Cat! Everything was super sterile, and all precautions were taken seriously. 100% recommend Koi, and Cat, for anything you're getting done!
Sarah Pabst
They are always so nice and well-informed, and they didn't try to up sell me on jewelry. Cat is very knowledgeable and professional, and she made me feel comfortable. I had my daith done by her two years ago and then my helix and lobes today and she was amazing both times! And I was very pleased to see them taking so much care to sanitize and keep their employees and customers safe. Definitely worth it!
(I colored my hair yesterday, which is why everything is purple).
yanna lenners
got my snake bites at koi today! Michelle is so lovely, they were super patient, communication was so good, and made everything quick and easy! All of my piercings have been done by me so this was my first time at a studio. Everyone there is lovely and made us feel super welcomed! If you’re thinking about getting pierced here DO IT! Thanks koi!!! We will definitely be back:)
Emily Lamoreaux
I got my ears pierced here and it couldn’t have been a better experience. They are very clean and sanitary. Michelle was who pierced my ears, and she made it so less painful than I thought it was going to be. She walked me through everything and made my experience here great. 10/10 would recommend. 💯 …
Owen Wallace
Jasper gave me my first piercings here, and I love em! she was super nice and fast and was very clear on how to wash and prevent injury.
Very good employees and very professional piercings.
Vicktorya Lavatai
All of the employees were fantastic, but I give JADE 5 starts. My 7 year old wanted her ears pierced for her birthday but she is nervous and anxious. Once back in the room, Jade introduced her herself to my daughter, and spoke to her Luke she's human and not just a kid. She explained that she doesn't like surprises and so she's going to explain/show her what she'll be doing/using. She told her that piercing her ears is a big decision and that it's okay if she changes her mind and no longer wants to do it. All she has to do is tell her to stop. After the first ear my daughter needed some time, Jade was patient, kind, we did not feel rushed while giving my daughter the comfort and reassurance she needed.
Jaden Fox
I had DeeJ (edit: don’t think he’s there anymore. See below: I recommend Cat!) for my belly button piercing and he did an amazing job. It has been two weeks since I had it done, and I’ve had exactly zero issues.
One thing to keep in mind, if you’re worried about jewelry options, don’t be. They had plenty of colors and price points, and I walked out with a nice blue one.
Everyone you ask will probably tell you to come here for a piercing, and for good reason. I was impressed from my initial appointment setting all the way through the procedure. You’re just not going to find a better place.
Hey, just wanted to edit this review more than a year later. Nothing has changed about how I feel, but I wanted to add more, and add some photos!
First, Cat is the person you want to see here. She’s done all of my piercings except for my initial belly button, first two lobes, and a couple private ones. So, if you’re keeping score, that means she’s done 12 of mine not including different downsizings and jewelry changes along the way. She’s amazing and deserves your body as a canvas, as you’ll see in the photos.
Yeah I actually don’t have much more to add, just go here, you’ll be happy. I’ll add the full frontal set up once I get a pic with good lighting ☺️
Katie Wininger
Michelle was amazing. I got both my septum and nostril peirced, they really took their time explaining the entire process and answering any questions I had. It has been 2 weeks and I haven't had any issues with my peircings following the aftercare instructions I was given.
I also brought my neice here to get her ears peirced (with her mom present) pre-covid and Cat was really good with her.
I highly recommend KOI if you are looking for quality and professionalism.
maddy mayo
So far I've gotten my septum, right nostril, philtrum and vertical labret all done by cat here at koi. I love koi and this is the only place I trust to do piercings on me. Every time I go in it always feels welcoming and professional! not to mention I love all the jewelry they carry. Anytime I've gotten a piercing it's been by cat, she's always quick, efficient and safe!
Kaki77
Cat was awesome with my very nervous daughter. Cat made sure to explain everything to my daughter before piercing and in less than 20 minutes we were walking out with pierced ears and a happy kiddo.
Lindsay Bennett
This place is great! It is clean. The staff is professional. They have a huge selection of good quality jewelry. We got there right as they opened their doors, and were able to pick out our jewelry and change our piercings within a half hour. However, the place was packed and people getting a piercing had a 1 hour wait. Plan ahead, but it is worth the wait.
Sierra G
Fabulous experience! Everyone was great and very knowledgeable. I love my piercing.
Aubrey Parsell
I have gotten 11 piercings here (4 that can't be discussed in polite company) and have never had a bad experience. They're very professional and the jewelry is really high quality. I've had my Industrial and eyebrow for about 10 years now and still have the original jewelry in them. There can be a bit of a wait and the waiting area is tiny, but I would still highly recommend coming here for anyone wanting a piercing or if you have any questions.
Holly Walgren
Got my septum pierced here and it didn't hurt because the piercer knew exactly where to put the needle so all I felt was pressure 😅 wonderful experience! …
Ginnina Peterson
Highly recommend this piercing studio! The ladies are sweet, beautiful and professional. I was nervous and the girl walked me through every step. From picking out my jewelry to placement to the piercing process. Untill I move again I will go to KOI for all my piercing needs.
Gary (Mr. S)
I was not allowed in during my daughter's piercing. I don't know if their just being extra safe or what. However, my wife and daughter both indicated the experience was good. Instructions were clear, the shop was clean and well maintained. Prices send a little steep but it was acceptable to make sure the piercing was done right. My daughter has had minimal swelling and seems to be happy with the experience.
Danielle Hernandez
I Brought my daughter in to get her ears re-pierced due to a horrible experience with clairs. From the moment we walked in dealing with front desk registration stuff, to picking out jewelry then working with jade and going through the piercing process was amazing. Everyone put my kiddos choices first and made sure she walked away loving her experience! Koi definitely has a new family of clients between my girls and myself. We will definitely be coming back for more piercings in the future.
Ella
Got my second lobe piercings here and had an amazing experience! Everyone was so kind and helpful while we were figuring it all out (it was our first time). I had Michelle and they were very patient and explained everything to us so that we knew not only what was happening while they were piercing, but also what to expect afterwards as well. I’d 100% recommend Koi to anyone willing to pay a little extra for quality jewelry, a soothing space, and amazing people willing to help and answer questions. I felt very relaxed and my piercings have been healing great.
Amber
They are amazing! Very friendly and professional. I took my daughter and they were so good with her. She was anxious about it and they were great at helping her stay calm during the process.
Danielle Brunelle
Yes you’re going to pay a little bit more here but it is 100% worth it if you want it done right and I just did my daughters belly button here and it literally was not even red after looked perfect and still does I got my tongue pierced 20 years ago here and still the best.
Lindsay Hammer
This place is amazing! Jade explained everything step by step to my daughter. She was up front and honest to her about the process and answered all the questions she had. Jade made her feel super comfortable and was super nice
Jason Jordan
My daughter got her ears pierced here. Michelle was really big on getting her consent, which I appreciated. Very clean facility. I paid $150 (including jewelry), so a little pricey, but my daughter’s piercing site hasn’t gotten inflamed at all.
Angela Riding
I love KOI! Everyone is so nice and helpful! I have absolutely loved every piercing I have gotten from Cat! Thank you for always being awesome!
abby houston
love this place!!! michelle always does such an awesome jobs on my piercings and i really trust them to do an excellent job! everyone who works there is so sweet and friendly as well <3
kc gardiner
I loved getting my ear pierced here. I got my daith done. The piercer was super nice, she was experienced and nice enough to answer any questions I had. I will definitely come back. The jewelry selection was limited for brand new daith. Especially since I had to get a bigger hoop so my ear would swell over the earring. But overall I had a great experience and I love the earrings I was able to get and piercings.
Hayden James
I got second piercings on my lobes by Jade. Both Jade and the staff were friendly and professional. They were on time and made sure to ask about questions or concerns. I highly recommend them!
Blake Newman
The only place I will get pierced! Everyone in this shop is wonderful, professional, and super helpful. Can't wait to bring my daughters here to get their lobes pierced.
Stephanie Anderson
My daughter is 9 and when she was almost 8 I took her to Clair's in the mall now closed, to get her ears pierced for the first time. They were always infected and red, and put so far down on her lobe that the earings would tip almost upside down. So we took out the earings and let her ears heal. I had a friend go to this place for earings and recommend it to me, I looked them up online and read almost every review. I took her down on a Friday and they were packed!!! Like wall to wall, it was a little overwhelming to be honest. We filled out the paperwork and went to see how long it would be. We left and went to lunch. When we got back, it was way better not near as many people. They got us right back and did such an amazing job, she was nervous and the girl was great with her. No infections, red the first 2 days and hardly any pain. I recommend this place to everyone!!! Love it. Pictures start from nervous to done!
Kaylee C
DJ is awesome! I got my daith on both ears back in Oct. and he did an awesome job. Th other day I had the little ball pop out of my piercing and they got me in same day to put it back in and check that it was all good.
Francis L
I've gotten both my lobes and new single helix pierced at Koi, and was impressed with their customer service each time! They adhere to strict social distancing guidelines and mask use policy. A bottle of hand sanitizer is at the ready on the reception counter.
The piercing artists are very friendly and professional. Before they touch anywhere that you can't see, they always tell you what they're doing and what's coming next, leading to an easy procedure that's over in minutes. It's a friendly and supportive atmosphere where you can feel safe.
After the procedure, you are free to check out the new jewelry and ask all the questions you want. They send you off with a business card and their number for you to text in case you have questions about the recovery or anything else down the road. I would definitely recommend Koi to friends looking to get their next (or first) piercing!
Shayanna Barclay
KOI Piercing Studio is so awesome! The staff here is so nice and friendly and more than happy to answer any and all questions. My daughter had her ear lobes pierced by Jade and she was so great! She was very patient and walked my daughter through the whole process and took her time with my daughter. I'm very happy with our experience at KOI! Booking online is great and convenient! When I had trouble booking online one time, I was able to call and the staff I talked with was so friendly and patient with me! I was very appreciative!! It's totally worth the drive for us from Eagle Mountain! Thank you so much KOI!!
StellaLuna Star
I have been coming to Koi since I was 16 (with parents permission). They have done most of my piercings and I am always satisfied with the services I received. They have a very large selection of jewelry, I came here recently for an install because I was having some issues doing it myself. I got hoops installed in my healed piercings in my ears and nipples and they were really gentle and know exactly what they are doing. I would recommend them to everyone. I used to have Patrick do my stuff, but everyone there is awesome.
Baley Kynaston
Studio was really clean and nice. Front desk staff were super nice and helpful. I don’t typically leave reviews but Cat did my piercing and she was very patronizing. I did not feel welcomed by her, nor like I could ask basic questions about the piercing without her being snappy and annoyed. I asked one question twice, which apparently she had already answered but I didn’t hear, and she responded by telling me that “it's because i'm not listening” like I was in Kindergarten. Not true, she was talking fast (also muffled by a mask) and I was nervous. Anyway, I felt really uncomfortable with the way she talked to me immediately upon meeting me and I regret that I didn’t just walk out without getting the piercing like I had the thought to. I don't understand why some artists have this attitude toward piercings/tattoo newcomers (if you've been to any piercing or tattoo studios you know the vibes I'm talking about), but it makes for a very not enjoyable experience for everyone involved. For those wondering about jewelry selection, I would recommend buying your own jewelry or visiting beforehand if you're not wanting to spend $50 for a stud. My friend got a single third ear lobe piercing that was $100+.
Ryann Caffall
every time i go here it’s a 10/10 experience!! Cat pierced my septum and they were super attentive during the process and told me exactly what they were doing before and while they were doing it. They were very meticulous in making sure it was even. Cat was also super kind and listened to everything i had to say!! if you’re worried about the price point for jewelry, it’s worth every penny!!
Nik Ledger
Far and away the best place anywhere for piercings. My daughter decided she wanted her ears pierced, so we made an appointment. My daughter is very nervous in new situations and struggled emotionally the whole time to the point that we almost had to leave. Jade was her piercer and was more patient, kind and understanding than I could have ever been in that situation. After almost an hour of calmly talking to her and explaining everything and a few tears, my daughter walked out with both ears pierced. She loves them. Thank you KOI for hiring such fantastic staff. If there was a 6 star review, you would be getting one.
Lauren Ison
I have gotten pierced here before and had a great experience. Brought my 3 year old daughter in and she got both her ears done and it went real smoothly and Patrick did great on talking to her. Highly recommend Koi Piercing Studio!
Isabella Eskelson
My experience with koi was amazing! I was greeted by some very kind employees right as I walked in. They helped me pick out the perfect jewelry and had me wait until my piercer was ready. Michelle was the one who pierced my septum and helix and they were absolutely amazing. They walked me through the entire process and made me feel a lot more comfortable with everything. Both piercings were super quick and done very well. You can tell Michelle really cares for their clients and puts a lot of time and effort into making sure your happy with your piercings and feel as at ease as possible. I really enjoyed getting pierced here and will definitely be back! I highly recommend scheduling with them! <33
Milton Salazar
Michelle was amazing. My daughter was nervous but Michelle made a first time experience very comfortable.
Lindsay Bartholomew
So kind and professional!! I felt welcomed from the moment I walked in, and all the staff is knowledgeable! I highly recommend this place to anyone
Laura Marshall
Everyone was so wonderful at Koi! This was my first time there and they helped me pick jewelry and made me feel really comfortable. I haven’t had the best luck with healing from piercings in the past, but Cat helped me know what to expect with aftercare and healing and I felt so prepared. I don’t think I will go anywhere besides Koi for future piercings. I loved it there!
Sydney Lomax
Clean, fair pricing, great inventory, knowledgeable staff... The only place I will ever go for piercings! I have nothing but great experiences with my pieces from Koi. If you follow their care instructions you will be pleased with your new piercings, every time.
Shelby Vincent
Cat was phenomenal! Efficient, sweet and pain stakingly made sure my double nostrils were even. 10/10.
Drew Daugherty
I absolutely love it here. I went in today to get my septum re-pierced and then do two new piercings on my nostrils. Tristyn was the first employee I met who walked me through my jewelery options with a wonderful and friendly disposition, she made me feel very comfortable being a first timer and made the whole check-in and check-out process smooth and easy - she was so fun to be around and made me feel very good with the compliments on my shirt! My piercer was Michelle, who was an amazing person to talk to and get to know and learn from. They also helped me feel as comfortable as possible, communicating the next step of the piercing before actually doing it, and made the experience all around amazing. My septum had to be stretched since I had my initial out for at least a month - and while that whole process made me cry like a baby, Michelle was my cheerleader and helped me feel like such a confident baddie with my new piercings by the end! Michelle is incredible and I'm so delighted by the conversations we had, I would love to get pierced by them again soon. I'm really happy that Koi is still taking Covid seriously, there were very few people waiting in the lobby with me before I got pierced and only a few more by the time I was leaving. All the jewelry they have here is so pretty, and everything about the studio itself just felt open and clean with a friendly ambiance. I can't wait to come back here to get my ears pierced once my face heals up!
Dani Starkweather
My piercer, Jade, was AWESOME! She explained everything clearly and I absolutely love my piercing.
Misla Newson
This place is the best and only place you should get your piercings, they know what they are doing. Everything is clean and professional and the people that work there are super nice. It may be a bit more expensive but it's worth it so you get a good piercing with no infection or issue.
ashralah galvan
The people at KOI we're absolutely amazing! They were all so helpful. I was getting my ears pierced and Jade was especially awesome, she walked me through what she was going to do and assured me she would tell me everything she would do. She helped me take deep breaths and was very assuring. And their instructions were so very clear. I went to Clare's a few years ago and my ear holes were completely in opposite directions, and you had to put the earring in at an angle. 10/10 👌🏼
Sarah Gross
Cat pierced my ear lobes. Despite these being pierced before (having closed up) I was nervous and she was very nice and put me at ease. The piercing itself she did quickly and professionally. Shop was extremely clean, efficient, all staff were helpful and friendly. The covid precautions were A+, which was very important to me. I would recommend this shop, and will come back if I ever want anything else pierced in the Salt Lake area.
Ella Spencer
I usually have a great experience at Koi. However I got my second lobes repierced here recently and was very disappointed with the customer service and how my piercings ended up. Again. My piercer was very condescending and I felt extremely uncomfortable. I was very polite with my 3 or 4 placement change requests and apologetic of this, which I shouldn’t have even felt the need for, since they are MY ears. Her responses were extremely patronizing and it was obvious she was annoyed by the tone of her voice combined with her stomping through the hall to the front desk to check if they were running behind. Overall, I felt my input was not heard. I realize that she and all of the piercers “do this for a living”, but part of doing this for a living is learning to listen to your customers. The way my piercings look affects me more than her. I should have been able to comfortably give input without it being immediately invalidated. If my piercer and her handy little measuring stick point to one piercing location but I—as the one actually GETTING PIERCED—want this location slightly tweaked, my piercer should listen to my input or at least respond in a way that shows she cares about how her customers feel, not just about being “right”. It’s unfortunate that this one bad experience with one piercer changed my feelings towards Koi. I will not be returning, since they have messed up my second piercing twice now and clearly don’t care if their staff have customer service skills.
Leslie Catmull
Making an appointment was easy. When I called them with a few questions the service was very nice and patient. My daughter was getting her ears pierced and Jade was the one who pierced them. She spoke directly to her and made her feel comfortable. It was a very good studio with great service.
Catherine Gomez
The girls in the front where amazing friendly helpful. Patrick did both of my daith because I suffer from migraines. He was amazing. Definitely going back when I need more piercings. And telling friends and family to come here to get anything done.
Michael Tang
My experience at this studio was superb. I went to get my first piercing with Jade. She explained the process and the care I had to do in detail. Which I appreciated and she is very meticulous about getting my ears pierced. I would recommend this studio to anyone who’s looking to get their first piercing.
Aubrey
I had a really great experience. I called early with any questions I had and was well informed of COVID precautions in place, pricing of jewelry, and my options, as well as aftercare. Everything went as expected-- much better, actually.
The jewelry options were beautiful and high quality . Cat pierced my septum and I felt the most minimal pain. There was more when placing the ring but it was very tolerable. Cat kept me well informed on what she was doing and instructed me clearly. The placement was exactly how I'd described I'd wanted. I was so surprised at how pretty it was and how well Cat did that I cried when I saw it for the first time. Everyone in the lobby was so kind and excited to see it afterwards. I'd been so nervous that I really needed all the support I felt from everyone.
Brink
Everyone here is super professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. Cat is a great piercer and very thorough. Couldn't imagine going anywhere else for piercings or jewelry in SLC! Also, be nice to the staff. They work really hard and they're so lovely and don't deserve weirdos being rude to them 🙃 …
Dani Hughes
I had an appointment with Jade for nipple piercings. She was incredibly professional and awesome. She discussed different placement that would best suit me and I'm so happy I listened! Jade is incredibly knowledgeable and was great about keeping me relaxed. The staff up front was so nice and ready to help as soon as I got there.
Please do yourself a favor and get any and all piercings done here!
I would give 10 stars if I could.
Suyanne Cavalcante
My experience with KOI Piercing Studio was amazing. I saw a story post on Instagram about call ins [it was a Saturday], so I called them and scheduled an appointment to go there at the same day for a septum piercing. Cat was the professional who attended me and she explained every step and was very quick and professional. It didn’t hurt at all, except the watery eyes, which is part of the process, because of the delicate area pierced. I’ll definitely come back again and refer them to my friends and everyone that asks me about a piercing.

Great experience getting my helix piercing. Super helpful front staff listened to what I envisioned and we found the perfect jewelry piece for me. Jade was amazing throughout the piercing process, HIGHLY recommend!! Love the results!!
Ian Motiee
Staff is very friendly and professional with a super clean and dope studio. Did a triple lobe piercing with Kat
Carla Gomez
Got my daughter's (4) ear lobes pierced. Staff was amazing, super friendly and knowledgeable. She had a great experience and loves her new earrings
Update: Michelle originally pierced my daughter's ears and she was absolutely amazing. She walked her through the while process and let her know she could change her mind at anytime. I really appreciated just how much she made this experience my daughter's choice.
Last night one of the front pieces was missing to my daughter's earring, thankfully the post and back remained in place. I called and they made and appointment for today to get a replacement. Michelle instruced me how to keep post secured unil we could get in.My father passed away unexpectedly that evening in another state so I was not really on my game and arrived late and the staff were still so kind replaced he piece without any hassle which was unexpected because stuff happens. Cat was so sweet to daughter and even checked her other earring for me. They had no idea what had happened but their kindness and professionalism really meant a lot to me.

This was first ever piercing and was told I needed to go here by everyone I asked.
I have terrible migraines and nothing would help. I started looking into getting my daith piercings about a year ago.
I heard from people who went elsewhere that it hurt the second it went in and didn't stop hurting for 6 months. There was a good amount of pressure when she actually did it but I wouldn't actually call it pain. About 12 hours later I'm still without pain from the piercings.
If you need any sort of piercing, you'd be crazy to go anywhere else.

I had my septum pierced today at KOI & it was such a great experience. The employees were covid conscious, extremely professional, patient & kind. The piercer was calm & explained every step as they went through the process. 10/10 best piercing experience I've had (& I've had many!) I would highly recommend them & would visit again in the future.
Natalie Richards-Gebbia
I highly recommend KOI Piercing Studio. just had two helix piercings put in my left cartilage yesterday, and Cat was just about as attentive and gentle as you could expect someone with a needle to be. I'll definitely be going back when I'm ready to upgrade the studs, and the next time I get a new piercing.
leesa gustafson
Studio was clean and front desk was pleasant! However, cat did my piercing and she was very rude. She acted like she couldn’t get me out of there fast enough, and don’t even think about asking her questions, especially more than once. She made my experience bad, but the studio itself is great!
Rossy Andrea
Went with a friend and the first impression was awkward, such an unwelcoming vibe! We went a bit earlier than the time for the appointment so we could look and pick at the jewelery but that was impossible; It looks like they can only see 1 person at a time, which is fine, but she didn't at least set that expectation... she just brushed us off like Yeah, your appointment is a 7:00 and proceeded to shut the door in our faces. We ended up waiting, my friend went in by herself and got her piercings, they were fine, but the experience and customer service were 100% thumbs down 👎 weird!
Stephanie
They do an awesome job! I’m happy with the way my septum piercing turned out.
I was a little confused about the price of the jewelry, and at checkout it wound up being wayyyy more than I expected. Like they gave me the price for the ring but added on more later for the balls they put on as well. Overall $95 for the piercing and jewelry doesn’t seem totally unreasonable, but a little more clarity would have been helpful.
Edit: Changed from four stars to five. The studio reached out to me and explained the pricing, and offered to replace part of the jewelry that broke. :)
Elizabeth Rohrer
Great staff! Kind, professional, accepting, good communicators. Fair prices, clean studio. They've got a variety of jewelry as well. I appreciate the measures they take with covid. The safety of the staff and customers is their top priority.
They'll walk you through what they're doing before they do it. And they're great about explaining aftercare too. 12/10 recommend, if I could give more stars I would.
Jillian Bench
Koi is an excellent piercing studio with professional and knowledgeable staff. I have had a few ear piercings done there and I took my niece to have her ear lobes pierced. They were great with her and make it a positive experience!
Julie Chambers
Deej was awesome. He explained everything really well, and cracked a few jokes along the way. He was super kind and was willing to answer every question we had! He even gave us his cell number so we could ask questions after we left.
Brittany Broumas
Got my 3rd hole 🕳 done! I love this place because they are very professional, very safe, and FULL of knowledge! I saw Michelle and she was AWESOME and loaded me full of info and spent the time to adjust and readjust before piercing. She was also willing to basically put it wherever I wanted it and wasn't trying to control the placement to where I leave with something I don't like. Piercing was practically pain free and did hurt after with minimal swelling.
Breann
This place is top notch! I have been to other piercing shops but always come back to this one. Their customer service is awesome. Jade is my go to piercer and always does an amazing job. She is very precise about making piercings look straight and even. I recently had a issue with my jewelry and Ashley went above and beyond and had it repaired. She is always prompt at answering any questions I have. Check out KOI! You won’t be disappointed.
S B
I got my septum pierced by Michelle today and it was a wonderful experience. She is so kind and walked me through every step. She’s very knowledgeable and does great work, my piercing came out perfectly and she was thorough to check and make sure it’s perfect. I would absolutely recommend coming to this place for any piercings, I know I’ll definitely go back for more.
Mandy H
I took my daughter to get her ears pierced here because I wanted to go somewhere that puts a lot of emphasis on sanitation, taking time to ensure the best placement, talked through everything with my daughter, and emphasized consent every step of the way. Jade was amazing with her! I will be back.
Frog Love
It's gonna cost you more then you think. I had one ear re-pierced because it had grown over during the pandemic. They put a really long post in it. Looked like it was falling out of my ear. I had them put an earring in my other ear just to match my new one. Even though it wasn't a new piercing they used a post that was too long and also looked like my earring was falling out. I wrote them to explain the problem. I guess this is standard procedure in case your ears swell up. Mine didn't swell. I didn't know medical grade titanium could make your ears swell up that huge. Guess I was lucky! Beware though... they don't tell you during that first piercing that this is a temporary situation(new piercing or not) and that you have to buy and wear the not good looking really long posts for 3-4 months. After you wait the 3-4 months you have to make another appointment and go back in after the initial piercing and install and buy new shorter posts that fit. I guess they wont put in a correct size at first and it costs another $51 to buy new posts that actually fit your ears. I was surprised. The girl who pierced my ear was very kind and professional. The blond girl who helped me when I came the second time just kept barking at me to stop touching my ears. She could have explained why she didn't want me doing that but she just kept barking at me. I finally asked because it was so annoying. I guess because my ear had been pierced 4 months earlier and was considered an open wound. However one of my ears has been pierced since I was 8 years old... she still kept barking even if i touched that ear. It felt rude. She could have been kind and explained why in the first place.
Sydnie B
I had an amazing experience here! The staff is lovely. Got my conch & 2nd lobes done with Jade and she was the best!! Super friendly & professional. She spent lots of time placing my piercings & ensuring they were even. Throughout the process, she was great at keeping me calm and kept checking up with me to make sure I was okay since I was getting multiple piercings in a session which was great! I was given lots of information as far as aftercare & healing times as well as information about my jewelry.
All in all, I highly recommend this place for any piercing needs as I was very well taken care of & enjoyed the experience! 🙂
Heather Beale
Super professional and knowledgeable. I came in to get some jewelry changed out and ended up leaving and scheduling another appointment for a new piercing. Everyone there really takes the time to talk to you and make you feel comfortable. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get piercings!
Ash
I've been to Koi a few times over the years and every time it has been a great experience. They are extremely thorough with their disinfecting processes and always make sure you're happy with what they are going to do before they do it. Staff is very friendly and makes sure you know how to care for your new piercing before you leave. Lovely experience every time.
Sarah Hawkins
Take all the one star reviews with a MAJOR grain of salt. The jewelry prices are completely standard for implant grade jewelry and they have a very wide variety of options in all price points. And being upset they require masks is illogical, of all the places you would want to be cautious this is one. I'm very happy to see them take sanitary/saftey precautions.
I got 2 piercings done by Cat, my conch and a navel. SHE WAS PERFECT. She has the most calming energy and my overly anxious self was completely at ease. She explained everything that would happen and my aftercare very well. I will absolutely be back for more!
J
The first time I got a specific pair of piercings done, I went to a different shop. And I found out right away that the piercings were done crooked, so I had to take them out and let them heal.
And friend told me to try Koi, and let me know they'd had positive experiences with them in the past. I took them up on their recommendation, and I'm really happy with the results.
The piercer who helped me was Deej. They were professional, their work space was incredibly clean, and their explanations were clear.
The repiercing is better than I could have hoped for. I can already tell the piercing is much better aligned. And the instructions they gave me for after care make so much more sense than what I was told at the other shop.
Jaimie White
The price to pierce is very reasonable, their jewelry is a bit pricey, but at least you know it won't get infected. My girls got their ears pierced. We had Deej do the piercing and he was so kind, polite, and patient with them! They didn't even cry he did it so well. Definitely recommend going there.
Ryan Putnam
I've been going to KOI since I was 14 or 15, when I got my first lip piercing. I remember the counter staff being kind of rude back then, but they've since gotten new people, and they're so much better (I'm 19 now). They all have really good and empowering energy and I love interacting with them. It feels so rad to walk in, tell them what you want, and be replied to with a "hell yeah!". The piercers are very professional, the jewelry is beautiful, and the studio is very clean and you can tell they take their practice seriously. I'm gonna miss this place when I move! I couldn't recommend them any more.
Lelia Lyon
I have been to Koi twice now, the first in the spring to get helix piercings and then today to swap out the jewelry and downsize. The counter staff is ridiculously friendly, patient and helpful. The pierces are awesome, they make you feel comfortable and are quick. Love this place!
Destiny Karrington
Koi has been my go-to piercing shop for the last decade. The piercers and front staff are so friendly and patient, never pressuring me to make a decision or to do something I’m not comfortable with. They help me make decisions on jewelry and talk it all through with me.
They’re so good that when I moved to a different state I’ll still hold off on purchasing additional jewelry or another piercing until I’m back to visit.
I went recently to get a new hoop for my conch piercing. They’ve moved to be appointment-only, which is an extra step but also drastically reduced the amount of time I had to wait to be seen. Personally I’d rather wear a mask for twenty minutes than wait in the lobby for 45.
I really can’t recommend Koi enough. They’re professionals at all stages- from kids getting their first piercing to adults getting nipple piercings, they are top notch for everything.
Madison Kilfoyle Hooker
Love this place! Staff is amazing, great atmosphere, clean environment! They dont schedule appointments so the wait can be 20mins to an 1hr depending on the amount of people waiting to be pierced. They will tell you the wait and you can leave then come back and they will hold your spot. Best experience everytime I come!
Colby Schroeder
First of all I'll just say it... I got the PA. Obviously a bit nervous about the process, KOI is the only website I saw that even listed it and explained it. Now the piercing experience was exceptional! Michelle was so comforting and explained everything. She was very personable and made the entire experience a breeze. I will return for future piercings and recommend all the KOI.
Amber Craig
I loved how easy it was to book my appointment online. Upon arrival all the staff were friendly and attentive to myself and others entering. I had Jade do multiple piercings in both of my ears and she was super nice and patient (even when I started feeling woozy halfway through). The jewelry they offer is also super cute but it is pricey so just be ready for that but it is definitely worth it.
Leslie McGarrity
Took my daughter to get her septum pierced and had an amazing experience. Very professional, clean, and everything was explained to us. Will go back for any future piercing needs.
Carolyn Emery Piano
Such a good experience! Cat pierced my daughter's ears perfectly, they are healing up so well and she loves them! I am absolutely blown away by Michelle though. I am ridiculously particular and she was SO precise even when I was being picky about the placement of my second lobe piercings. She never made me feel bad or silly and even used calipers and triple checked that everything was perfect. I couldn't be happier, thank you!
Chantelle Morales
I had my flat pierced by Jade she was very kind and gentle! I had some issues with my Jewelry and the owner Ashley was 100% amazing with getting me taken care of. 10/10 customer service. Will definitely be back for more piercings :)
Chris Terry
Cat is knowledgeable and professional. She did an excellent job explaining and answering my questions. She helped me feel comfortable and confident in her ability.
Highly recommended. I Will return for future piercings.
Inanna M
Super fast! And everyone was very nice and let me take my time 💓 got my industrial done and I'm very happy with it! …
Cj Hahn
I've had 6 piercings done here and I'll never go anywhere else. they're extremely professional and clean. the jewelry is very high quality and the staff is queer friendly! I always go to cat and they're just the best!
Brandilyn Haynes
I saw Michelle for a nostril piercing here and had an incredible experience! The whole studio is so clean and beautiful, the staff was friendly and excited for my new addition, and my piercing turned out beautiful. They’re also being super intentional about COVID policies, which I really appreciated!
Jadyn Scofield
Amazing! I did just a second love piercing with Caterina. She was so wonderful. She would explain what she was doing while she was doing it which was extremely helpful because I'm not the greatest with needles. It didn't hurt as much as the punch ones you would get in like Walmart. She explained everything with cleaning and new studs after and gave me a card with all her info, the piercing info, and her number on it so I can text if I have any questions. She did amazing and I love it so much.
My mom got a diath and she says her head already feels different. She did wonderful at keeping us informed and calm throughout the process.
Kelsey Neil
Very professional, great experience, good atmosphere. Everyone was very nice. I was expecting the appointment to take longer than it did, but I was basically in and out. They sterilize their starter earrings themselves which is amazing! Will be coming back.
Kionna Jensen
Koi has always been my go to shop for piercings. Everyone there is good at what they do, professional, and friendly. I got my conch pierced by Catarina most recently and I had a great experience. Catarina was very calming and made the whole process smooth and easy from start to finish. I’ll definitely keep coming back!
Sandra M
Absolutely love Koi ! I recently decided to get a few piercings done by Deej over the course of the last few months. I heard in the past piercings were by walk in only so I am super happy they now do appointments . Their policies are clearly stated on the website as well as the emails sent after the appointment is booked. Deej has done an excellent job on all my piercings and and is very professional. I also have very sensitive ears and their jewerly has never bothered them or caused an allergic reaction. Jewerly is a bit on the pricey side however is comparable to any professional piercing studio and well worth what you pay. Will definetely recommend Koipiercingslc.com to anyone 🥰
Lynnae Nelson
Michelle was fantastic and friendly while talking me thru my piercings. Thank you for doing my piercings! They look awesome. The counter staff were super enthusiastic to help and answer questions, I will definitely be back. Pic is 2 weeks ish after the appointment. Daith, conch, and flat piercings are healing great 👍 …
Rain Durrant
I got my helix pierced here and it was great! Everyone was super nice and everything was sanitary! They have multiple different choices of jewelry and I loved it! I'm definitely going back as soon as my ear is healed to go get a conch piercing!
Grae
I've been pierced a total of 7 times here, and each time was really easy and well done. The staff always makes me feel comfortable and calm before getting pierced. They even asked for preferred pronouns on the paperwork, which I appreciate as a nonbinary person. i hope they start doing lip piercings soon so I can get my snake bites done!
Update: I just got both my nostrils pierced by Cat, and it was a great experience as always. She made me feel super comfortable and made sure the piercings were nice and symmetrical. I love them sm and I can't wait to come back
Carlos Laguna
Staff was super friendly. Vibes were absolutely professional but chill. You can tell they take their profession serious. Best peircing salon in the state.
Shea Dastrup
Have a bad day? Get a piercing. Love this place and all the people are great
Bri Thomas
This studio is amazing with the added bonus of literally everyone there being really attractive (respectfully).
All jewelry is high end and plant grade which is exactly what you want when getting pierced!
Everyone was very kind and welcoming and the studio was super clean.
Jeffery Jones
I came to KOI for my first genital piercing and was very nervous. The staff was very professional, listened to my concerns, gave excellent advice and made me feel very at ease about my piercing. The best piercing studio by far I have ever been too!! I ONLY recommend KOI for all your piecing needs!!
Olivia Norris
I really had a great experience at Koi! It was clean and they got me in quicker than they said it would take. So far my piercing is healing great and I was given lots of instruction about how to care for it. The jewelry was high quality and sanitized, and the room seemed extremely sanitary as well. It felt like I was in a doctor’s office with how clean it was, which I really appreciated. Overall it was a great experience.
Candace Kerwin
Koi is my favorite place to go for piercings. They’re so good at what they do and they’re so fast too so it doesn’t hurt as bad. I would highly recommend this place for knowledgeable, quick, and sanitary piercing specialists.
haley
I made an appointment with Jade to get my navel pierced yesterday. Everyone at the studio was so kind & informative. Jade was great & talked me through after-care etc. & made sure I was comfortable while getting pierced. I would definitely recommend this piercing studio!
Justin Desilets
COVID-19 based review. I am a returning customer. The current process with scheduling and limiting the amount of people in the studio went very smooth for me. I have appreciated the level of sterilization the studio has had in the past and they have done an excellent job at adapting to the current conditions. All the staff were very friendly and my piercer Jade was smooth and gave me great advice for my piercing.
Laurel Singletary-Johnston
Michelle was awesome with my 7 year old daughter! She was personable, helpful, and walked her through the whole process. I would highly recommend this place. Overall, great experience.
Brandi Sitterud
The girl at the front desk (bigger girl) who helped us was so amazing, very helpful! She explained the sizes and compared them to her piercings so it was a little more clear. She was patient and extremely awesome! DJ pierced us and he was great! Explained everything as it was happening, reminded us how to breathe during, gave us after care info and even his personal number to text if we had questions! Highly, recommended. Also we didn't make an appointment and got in super quick.
Chelsea Cheeks
Such a cool place and a great experience. My daughter is scared of needles but Deej was super chill and helped her stay calm. My piercings were done so quickly and I fully recommend KOI over any place like Claire's or a kiosk in the mall. Better people's with better skills and better jewelry.
KC Jimenez
Got labret done! Soooo clean professional the staff is nice and very knowledgeable. I had discomfort because it was nesting deeper but when i called for longer post they got me right in feel awsome thank you sooo much i recommend koi piercing!!!!
Sarah Celine Pope
They aren't a chain, but this makes their jewelry PRICEY. Piercers are educated and professional- however mine didn't tell me about after care for my helix, which is notoriously hard to heal. I was too excited with my new piercing to remember to ask. Good jewelry selection.
Katherine Dwyer
Glad I chose this studio for daith piercing. Friendly staff/patient/all smiles. Jade is a master at her craft! No infection. Recently traveled to a higher elevation ; less pain! Thank you so very much for being just who you all are:Awesome. The artifacts featured are beautiful.
Shayla Radford
I need to edit and redo my previous review. Unfortunately, due to some misinformation and confusion, I came to an unfortunate conclusion.
As I said before, the technicians doing the piercing are amazing. They really do go above and beyond to do a good job and explain everything. This is not a quick process. They do want to do an amazing professional job, and get it right. This definitely influences the wait time. In my experience, if there is a long wait time, longer than you are willing to wait, simply come back another day. It is definitely worth it to deal with a professional reputable company. I really would not go anywhere else.
As far as the special order jewelry company that they go through, I am very happy with the product that I ordered. It is a beautiful piece. As being able to do a custom design, there is a bit of expertise required to get what you want. When done correctly, you will be extremely happy with your purchase.
Autumn Miller
Very welcoming, safe, clean and employees are so nice!! I felt comfortable from the very beginning to end! I will definitely get my other piercings there from now on!! :)
Neil Finch
Patrick has done all of my piercings over the past 12 years.. He is fantastic and professional. Extremely knowledgable and does not do anything half fast. He has extreme attention to detail and perfection and that standard is easily upheld by the rest of its staff. Very clean environment anytime I have been there and the best selection of jewelry I've seen anywhere. You will not be disappointed and you will continue to go here vs anywhere else I assure you.
Phish
I've gone to Koi for a number of piercings, and their professionalism, care, and quality is second to none in the state—at least for my experience.
Of the negative reviews I've seen, they seem to all stem from assumptions made by the customers (of whom, it seems like none of them ever visited Koi's very informative website) regarding how much time they'd have, last-minute alterations or requests, and/or complications to their expected experience due to the recent COVID unpleasantness.
Koi has always been responsive to my questions, and whenever they've had the ability/time to, have made accommodations for me.
In short, check the website, review their details, and if after looking through their work and their policies, you feel like comfortable, COME HERE FOR YOUR PIERCINGS.
Catherine Redd
We had a great experience here at Koi. My 6 year old had a bad piercing job done elsewhere so we let it heal and came here. They have a great selection of earrings to pierce with. Patrick made sure that there wouldn't be any problems with the redo before he started. He was a perfectionist and made sure she was comfortable. Everything in the shop looked clean and tidy.
After we left my daughter said that it barely hurt and was really happy about that (the other time was much more painful). Very happy with our experience here!
Kay Patino
I highly recommend Koi for all piercings. They're extremely professional and friendly here.
I received 3 piercings from Frank today and he was super helpful to me through the whole process. He answered all my questions about healing and what the level of pain would be like for each one. He made sure I was comfortable through the whole process and talked me through it each time. They keep all their equipment and jewelry sterile and the entire place is very clean. Love this place, will definitely continue to go back in the future.
Aubrie Anderson
Walk in only, so expect a wait! I made the mistake of coming in on a Sunday afternoon and waited about three hours. However, I was given the opportunity to leave and come back and they still served every customer who signed in before closing. The girls up front were extremely kind and helpful. They were quick to check me in and gave me updates as needed. The location is a clean and organized one! I was able to find the jewelry I needed quick, and they had a high quality selection. Patrick did an amazing job! He was fast and precise! Easy to tell he is great at what he does. Received a follow up email making sure my piercings were healing right and everything was going well. I really appreciate the thought and feel at ease knowing I would have a team of professionals to turn to if I needed. Going back to Koi for any future piercings!!
Amanda Davies
Koi has done all my piercings, which have healed perfectly and I've consistently had great after care. My first piercing with Koi was 7 years ago, and all are still in perfect placement and condition
Lizz Rivera
Who did my piercing was Frank and he was ABSOLUTELY amazing. It was my first piercing and I was super nervous and he was extremely patient with me and helped me get through it to find out later it wasn’t even bad at all. Amazing guy! Very friendly and professional. If I ever get more I will definitely go just with him. HIGHLY recommended.
Shelby Christensen
Got my daith done by Jade. She talked me through the procedure and it was done in a matter of seconds. Very professional and knowledgeable. The staff is following protocols to keep clients safe. Overall great experience I will definitely go back for future piercings.
Sherie Webber
This is a great little shop. Lots to choose from. Front desk help could be a little more nice and friendly. Doesn't seem or sound happy. Although the guy that did my piercings was excellent. Very friendly, knowledgeable made you feel relaxed. Great sense of humor. This place is very very busy and can be hours to get in. Keep trying back. Once they said it was a four hour wait. So I went back a few months later. The same unhappy girl said it was a 1 hour wait which turned in to a 2 and a half hour wait. Not enough seating. We sat on steps.
Katie Skillin
Took my daughter there when she was 8 to have her first lobe piercings. Patrick did an amazing job and made her feel so safe and comfortable. Took her back at 15 for a helix piercing and Frank was kind and courteous. She just went again at 16 to "double up" on her lobes and helix. Patrick was very helpful and kind.
The piercers at KOI are truly artists and masters. I know I can trust the cleanliness and expertise found at KOI. My family will never get piercings anywhere else!
Melissa Walls
Had a great experience. Front desk was very friendly and helpful. Our piercer Patrick made me, my sister and cousin all feel very comfortable despite it being their first time getting pierced. He was thorough and made sure we were happy with the results.
Carly Smith
got 2nd and 3rd lobes on both ears. $34 per jewelry piece (x4) and then $45 piercing fee. $181 total. I just picked cheaper titanium posts and got them anodized to look yellow gold. Deej was super nice and redid two of the piercings because I was being so picky about spacing and location. only complaint is a long wait time at the front. I think I waited about 20 min for my appointment to start beyond the time I booked it for.
took away a star because I called back to get advice about jewelry and the girl that answered was so aggressive on the phone once she realized it wasn’t jewelry I bought from them and didn’t intend to pay them to change it for me.
Madison Lawrence
Literally the best place to be pierced! My friend and I got piercings today and because of Covid, we couldn't both be there at the same time but we both had great experiences! The staff was so friendly and I felt completely safe and they explained everything that was going on. Literally, such an amazing place! Can't wait to come back soon! :D
Britt
Fantastic location. Took my daughters here and the piercers were stellar. Treated the girls with care and made sure they were happy with the placement and explained the full process while they pierced. Very sterile environment and will do any future piercings here.
a
I've been pierced her before, but my daughters just got pierced today by Jade. I love this shop more every time we come. They're clean, friendly, professional, and they are so ethical and responsible about consent and bodily autonomy with kids. Thank you, Jade. You are the best. ❤❤
Ali Lane
me and my fiance have had the pleasure of seeing multiple piercers here. They have all been amazing and the front staff every time we came in just super friendly and very helpful. I started to have a problem with my piercing and they took care of it every time. The cost is up there but your paying for quality. This place is amazing and I will continue to go for as long as I get piercings. Would gladly bring my children here for piercings as we. We love the people and environment ❤️
Emily Belle
This is the only place I trust to stick needles in my body! They are very professional and know what they are doing. They have the most educated piercers in the valley. They only offer the best jewelry so your body won’t develop any type of metal allergies. They are very busy, they usually have a line outside and for a good reason. It’s worth the wait! As busy as they are, they still make the time for great customer service. They have helped me when I have just needed my jewelry switched out. Thanks KOI you rock!
Madelynne C
Hands down the best piercing studio in Utah!! Super professional and clean! Great selection of jewelry and answered all my questions. All around an A+!
Haley Birkeland
Patrick was absolutely amazing with my 8 year old. He took extra care to keep her at ease and smiling through her ear piercing. My daughter is quite shy around new people but he quickly got her out of her shell and engaged in conversation like they were old friends. He talked to her about what she was feeling and when she mentioned she was scared he validated her and let her know it was okay to be scared especially when we know we are safe. He made sure she was informed and comfortable. He was playful and fun while also being direct and professional. He took extra time to get the piercing right so her ears (each of her lobes have different widths and angles) to match. He was very detailed as he discussed follow up care. I highly recommend Koi and specifically Patrick for your child's first piercing.
Also have to chime in about how much I appreciate that they have parents of underage children bring in birth certificate and that they value the child's consent and autonomy. My daughter was asked to sign in addition to us parents. Claire's has been in the news for piercing children who are not consenting because the parent wants their ears pierced.
Jess Marcantelli
I've been to Koi several times over the last 5 years or so. I've worked with both DJ and Patrick and always made to feel comfortable by them. Patrick, I feel, really takes time to understand what you're wanting and explain as much or little as you'd like to know.
I have fairly conservative personal piercing tastes, and was worried I I'd feel awkward. The front reception area staff has changed over the years and most of my visits have been very comfortable. Current staff is really outstanding and open to any questions. Really appreciate the atmosphere going on in this place.
Erin Walker
I just got a double helix piercing here with Jade! The whole studio including the waiting area and piercing rooms is very clean and organized. All of the staff that I interacted with here were incredibly professional, and just so nice! Had a really great experience, and definitely will be coming back!
Marissa szugye
Booked my appointment online in less than 5 minutes and it was super easy. I showed up for my appt they came outside checked my temp and let me inside to choose out my jewelry. They took the time to show me all the jewelry options and weren't pushy or bothered by my indecisiveness. They had a really great selection to choose from with all price ranges. This was my first time at Koi, and was expecting a Great visit because my niece Lydia and her boyfriend get all their piercings here and they LOVE Koi! My experience was above and beyond AMAZING!!! Thank You Kat for the daith piercing. She and all of the staff were super informative about how it was going to go and I was expecting it to hurt and it was not painful at all. The entire staff and I started singing to the music in ther front entrance and it was so much fun. Super clean place with friendly, happy, good vibes. Thanks Koi for a Fun Girls Night. I would definitely recommend this place for all your piercing needs and I will definitely return. Thank You!

My 5 year old daughter had her ears pierced with Michelle. She was amazing with my daughter. Explained everything clearly. Even went as far as to let my daughter know that it is her body and it will be up to her to let Michelle know when she was ready and that she can stop at any time. I loved the emphasis on consent! She was very precise when it came to ear placement and measured several times to make sure they were even. She was focused on keeping everything sterile.

Patrick did my under eye microdermal, cleavage dermal and hood...we were finished in about a half hour, he was personable and answered all my questions. The front desk staff was nice and were also helpful. During Covid, please remember to bring a mask (you can't come in without one), call from the parking lot to let them know you've arrived and they'll let you know when to come in. There isn't another studio that I'd recommend for piercing, I'm extremely happy with every piercing I've gotten there since 2002.

Go here no matter what. Price is always reasonable, you are getting great value and service here. Personal and professional care for customers. May be a line because they are in demand. I have been here multiple times and seen them explain jewelry types, size up, new piercings, cartilage piercings. Always were friendly, helpful, great at communicating. Makes you want to stick around or come back soon. Careful, you'll get more piercings! :) I've seen many good healed piercings from here. Tip your piercer!!! They are great at what they do and so knowledgeable. The front desk is good too. Deej is fantastic, he gave me his card and has been available when I had questions about aftercare. This is amazing. The staff here really care about you and your health/ health of the piercing. There are plenty of other piercing and even tattoo shops that simply don't care. Go to KOI!
Alysha Stokes
Had my septum and nostril done last week, Jade was amazing to walk me through everything and made sure I knew what to expect with healing etc. My appointment was one of the first of the day so front of house was busy and chaotic but staff ensured i was acknowledged and taken care of promptly.
Roxanne Gray
Very nice business, the staff is very nice. Very professional piercers who take their time in their art to make it as perfect as possible. I went in with my first born expecting to trade him for a piercing and was very surprised by the affordability at such a quality studio. I was even able to take my boy back home with me which was very much appreciated.
Jessica Black
Great experience. Knowledgeable staff. Love my new flat piercing.
Mercedes Nicole
I got my daith pierced on both sides, by Cat, in April. It was such a wonderful experience. The staff was super friendly and answered whatever questions I had. I got there an hour before they opened on a Saturday, there was already a line, and only had to wait about an hour to be pierced. It was done so quick and so well, I am so impressed with Cat's techniques and customer service. I was a litte but anxious, but she was so sweet and friendly and made me feel so comfortable. The prices were also not that bad, I went in expecting to spend a couple hundred, and was definitely surprised when I got my receipt. If I ever get any other piercings, I will absolutely go here.
Brianne Nielson
I've been here for several piercings and I wouldn't go anywhere else! They are knowlegable, kind and very clean. Their prices are very fair and the jewelry is some of the best I've owned. Everyone is kind and very patient with you. They work with what you want and what will work best with you. I've only had DeeJ do mine and he always been supportive, very personable and funny. Just make sure you get there early, they get busy fast!
Cristy McDaniel
Patrick did a great job with placement on all my piercings! Patrick is very personal able and makes you feel comfortable, he takes the time to explain what you can expect before he starts the piercing and then walks you through how you should be breathing through the piercing and ends with how to properly clean your piercings and what you can expect with the healing process of each piercing!!
What should have been my 4 most painful piercings weren't due to going to someone who is very experienced and educated on piercings!! I will continue coming to Patrick for all my future piercings and will refer Patrick to everyone for theirs!!
Thank you Patrick for being so great!!
Stephanie Brito
I've been to KOI a handful of times to go get my piercings done or to just keep my friends company while they get a piercing and each time its a good experience. the staff is always super friendly and the area is super clean and decorated cool. They have wide variety of jewelry to choose from depending on what you are getting pierced. I went in not to long ago to get my nose stud changed and ended up getting a really big stud that I later on was not feeling whats so ever so I came back in and the staff gladly changed it to something a little smaller and that I liked and ended up not charging me for it ! definitely check it out!!
Cody Cook
I recently had Frank do my Industrial, and have to say the whole experience was very very pleasant. Frank did an amazing job and was super friendly and made sure I was happy with placement and comfortable the entire time. They are a very busy shop recommend making an appointment had to wait about and hour and half but this was also a walk in on a Saturday. Which is good because they had tons of repeat customers. Prices seemed really fair to me. And customer service was great will be back for future business and refer all my friends. Thank you again frank.

A small well decorated storefront with a large selection of higher end Jewelry for the more alternative types. Alot of eccentric art that matches the ideals of most piercing studios. In all honesty I have only purchased jewelry here and have not been pierced here, but from word of mouth this is one of the best shops in the valley. Storefront was clean and seemed very busy. The front of shop girl was also very helpful in assisting my wife in buying some expensive earrings. I have no plans of getting any piercings, but if I was going to this would be my first stop.
Shaun Belland
Koi is the best piercing shop in Utah! I have gone to Koi for multiple ear piercings, nose piercing, and nipple piercings. They are very professional, and know what they are doing. Jade and Michelle are awesome!! Make sure to pay this APP verified shop a visit for all your piercing needs!
Tracee Bracken
I got my first piercing ever (daith) and DeeJ was great! I had very serious anxiety beforehand and he helped me breathe through it and make it as comfortable of an experience as possible. I went with some friends and he was very friendly and helpful to all of us. He explained proper cleaning really well and made sure to ask if we had any questions. Seriously, he was so great! The rest of the staff was very friendly and helpful as well. It was very clean and overall just a great experience!
Luana Quast
The five stars I'm giving is because of DJ. I have had my lobes pierced up to my thirds before. Never pierced any cartilage. I was extremely nervous going into this. A friend recommended going to KOI. I drove all the way from Eagle Mountain to get my helix's pierced. The studio is small but very well maintained and very clean. They have great jewelry selection which I loved! The girl who helped me was great and very patient with me while I was deciding what I wanted. There was another girl working the counter who was not very pleasant at all. She was rude and seemed to not have any patience. Never even saw a smile. She looked annoyed anytime I had a question. Anyways, DJ took me back and I explained I was very nervous about the piercing. He was great and funny and really calmed me down. He ended up suggesting the piercing positions and everything. I completely trusted him and LOVED how it turned out. He made me feel very at ease and comfortable. I will definitely be going back just because of him!
Diana Mower
Got Daith piercings for my son, highly recommended. Patrick was great and really knows his craft.
Summer McNeely
I got my seven year old daughter's ears pierced here. Michelle pierced her ears. She was so patient with my nervous daughter. She explained everything she was going to do, she told her there would be no surprises. Most importantly, she told my daughter that it was her body, so my daughter was in charge. If she needed a break, that was fine. Michelle patiently waited until my daughter said she was really ready. She never rushed her.
The whole thing (piercing both lobes and jewelry) cost about $120. The piercing was only $30, the rest was the jewelry cost, which was more than I had anticipated. I had called before hand and they told me that jewelery starts at $30. I didn't realize that was per earing, not per pair.
Jamie DeValberg
Very knowledgeable staff. They were able to direct me to exactly what was needed for my piercings. They require a great deal of training before they even get to be on the floor working and that alone is leaps and bounds above what other places do. It was very clean and well kept. I'll never go anywhere else and I always direct others to go here as well.
Lindsey Carr
My experience was great! My piercing turned out great and I feel like they have a ton of experience and knowledge that you can rely on to have a very aesthetic outcome! If you plan to just show up make sure you plan on at least an hour wait, but it’s worth it!
JL Reyes
I've been to KOI Piercing Studio twice now and each experience has been excellent. There can be a bit of a wait time and there is limited seating, but aside from that I have no complaints. They have an large selection of jewelry and friendly staff. I have had piercings done by Frank and Aubrilynn on separate occasions and each did a fantastic job. Highly recommend KOI if you're looking to get any type of piercing done.
Charlotte Irvine
My 7 year old got her ears pierced and they did a fantastic job. Very happy with the overall experience. Highly recommend.
Kensie
I absolutely 100% recommend this place! So welcoming and clean. Staff is so friendly and helpful. I was so nervous and they definitely made me feel comfortable. No one made me feel embarrassed for being nervous. They understand that piercings are scary to some people and absolutely go out of their way to be sweet and kind and comforting. Patrick is obviously super pro-status and so friendly. It was really busy when I went so I was worried they'd be short with be or stressed, but they were completely the opposite. Can not day enough good things about my visit.
Trinity Orion
Love this place soooo much! I got my first lip piercing ever here a little over 2 weeks ago! The piercer did a fantastic job taking care of my friend and I. They came out perfect! We just went and sized down yesterday and had a different piercer who was equally fantastic as well!! Great experience! Will always come to them for my future piercings for sure! The staff are soooo friendly and awesome which just makes it all the better!! 💜 (The picture is from the day I got pierced and it's healed beautifully!)
Elle ramirez
Jade was amazing with my nostril piercings ! And the desk staff were so kind. Im always super happy when i leave koi, thank you for being the best piercing shop/piercers!!! ❤️👃🏽✨🌈🔥 …
Hannah Ralph
Couldn't have had a better experience - Jade was such a pleasure to work with! She had tons of ideas as far as placement/styling and made me feel 100% comfortable. Had 3 piercings done and switched out quite a few existing and everything went smooth as could be. Thanks so much, I'll be back in 4 months!
Christina Loken
I just got an industrial piercing this evening! Frank was super friendly, and was chatting with me and my boyfriend as he was working on the placement to help me calm down.
I’ll be honest, the piercing did hurt, but he was quick and gentle throughout the process, so it was just a bit of pain. He also gave me comprehensive aftercare instructions.
I highly recommend this place! Their jewelry is pricey but worth it. Everything is organic or implant-grade titanium or steel, or high quality gold.
They don’t do appointments, only walk-ins. Expect to wait a while, but you can leave and run errands or something and they can call you when your number is close.
Totally worth it, and if I decide to get another piercing, they have my business!
Lindsay Hansen
I just got my nose pierced by Patrick and he is probably my new favorite person! He was very professional and very accurate and very knowledgeable about what I needed to do to take care of it! This place is also very clean which made me at ease! I would highly recommend this place to anyone getting a piercing especially if it is your first body piercing like me! And the girls up at the front desk are so nice and also very knowledgeable! It was a great and perfect experience!
rin bjorge
i absolutely recommend getting any piercing done here. everything is very clean and professional and they’re handling covid very well. my piercer very throughly explained the process and healing and anything and everything i needed to know. the appointment didn’t take long at all. very friendly and accepting staff :)
Alycia Lenhardt
I've received several piercings from this place, and everytime I've been greeted and treated very professionally. The last time I went, was very recently and with the pandemic, they took great care to keep people apart, they take your temperature at the door, and they ask you to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before looking at anything.
Yamino Bunny
I love love love this place! My friend and I went here and got our nipples pierced by Patrick back in January . He is VERY professional and he kept everything exceptionally sanitary, the piercing process didn't take long at all. The wait was a bit long since it was in the evening by the receptionist let us pay our piercing fee, then called us when they were ready for us. As for piercings they are healing up nicely and they are even. So I am super happy. I cant wait to come back for my tongue :) thanks again Patrick!
Gloria
Love this place! I’ve had majority of my piercings done here! Will be going back! Great customer service! Piercers are very kind and walk you through true whole procedure! Very positive environment!
Nicholina Womack
Cat and the entire Koi team is amazing. They took a horrible piercing experience I had with another company and made it a great one. Cat took the time to make a piercing plan/design with me that is flattering on me. I can't wait to continue with her and see the entire look once we are done.
Tasia Bowman
DeeJ did my nipple peircings and it was more comfortable than I had expected. He is very professional and calming through the whole process. The reception staff were all so friendly and helpful with picking out jewelry and helping with the tip calculations as well.
Elise Elizabeth
I took my 6 year old to get her ears pierced for her birthday. We took her to Claire's when she was an infant. Long story short, we had to take out her original earrings in order for her ears to heal from such a bad reaction. So this time around, we decided to invest in a professional piercer and professional experience and we are never going back to piercing guns! Our piercer "Deej" was so great and good with kids. He made our daughter so comfortable and the process was so quick and painless that she didn't even realize it was done until he told her "guess what, your ears are pierced." I highly highly recommend Koi and I highly recommend Deej if you are taking in your child!
Carrissa Evans
Super friendly and extremely inviting! Will definitely be coming back here for more piercings / jewelry needs. Cat was my piercer and she made sure I loved the placement, was super quick while piercing, and she was very clean.
Alina Herzet
Jade was very professional and did all the things right the piercings were painless pretty much and quick and the selection of jewelry blew my mind. 5 stars all the way, I will be a returning customer for many years to come I firmly believe.
Jennifer Tietz
Amazing studio and the best experience! I went in to get my septum done and the ladies at the front were super helpful and fun to talk to. Deej was absolutely fantastic! He eased my mind and took his time to make sure the placement was perfect. He was also way fun to work it! Hands down the best place to go for piercings. The wait is a little long but so completely worth it. I will be recommending KOI to anyone who asks!
Whatthe40 M
I love the jewelry so its usually worth the wait. I love the piercing staff. I am a repeat customer. However......
:Update from my negative experience with the front desk staff was promptly addressed by the owner. She was very kind and did not want her clients to be treated that way.
Very impressed -
Jonathan Green
Amazing piercing studio. Friendly, professional staff that will happily stick chunks of metal into you on request. They know what they are doing and know what they are talking about when they do impale you as well. I will be returning for more.
Anyra Peña
Cat's service was great. But I went the day before to sterilize my earring as it said in their rule and it was closed. I went to get my piercingand they did not want it to sterilize my earring and I bought two earrings. One daith and one upper lobe and I still questioning to myself, why they charged me for my daith and twice two more piercing. At the end I paid almost $100 dollars for two piercing and I took the cheapest ones. I don have time to go there and complain about it.
Clint Ward
This was my first experience at Koi Piercing Studio. Reception was prompt and friendly when I arrived. My artist, Dustin, was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer any questions I had about aftercare and jewelry. Whenever I’ve asked friends where they go for piercings, it’s obvious why they always answer, KOI. This is a small business doing things right. 10/10
Adam Steck
Girlfriend just got her septum redone here after a botched job at Ace's. Patrick was PHENOMENAL. He was honest, kind, and very gentle with the piercing. He measured and checked with her to make sure everything was as she wanted. He took his time and did not rush. He found her "sweet spot" higher in her nose where it actually was, rather than the cartilage that was unnecessarily pierced the first damn time. Employee are very kind and inviting. Patrick was more than happy to answer any questions, including being straightforward about the initial septum's very low piercing. He was amazing and it didn't hurt whatsoever, as it should be. My girlfriend would 100% go again and will also be recommending from now on :)
McKenna Andelin
I've had 4 piercings done here and they've all been performed well and healed nicely. Nothing but praise to sing for the piercers but on occasion the counter girls aren't a pleasure to work with. Sometimes there can be quite a wait but there is a lot of gorgeous jewelry to look at inside and plenty to do around if small waiting rooms aren't your thing.
Amber Gray
I read over the reviews before I came, so I knew what to expect. The moment we walked in the door, we were greeted, and were walked through the process. The girl helping us was very helpful and I didn't feel like she hated her job as others had stated. She helped us pick out jewelry and was well prepared to answer our questions. They told us it would be a 30 min wait, which is was. We went with Deej, and he was fantastic. We joked around and he made us both feel at ease. After the piercings were done he went over in detail how to care for our piercings. He did a great job and we will definitely be back again. The piercing fee was $25, plus the cost of jewelry and tip. Make sure to tip well cause they are awesome!
Mimi H
I’ve never had a problem with any of my piercings from here. They are efficient, and all the artists really know their stuff. Everyone is super nice and ready to answer any questions too. It’s very clean, and they have a huge array of options. Would definitely recommend.
Dalton Obray
Really great place. The guy doing the piercings for us was very knowledgeable and kind. He answered all my questions and helped put my mind at ease. They gave me good tips about caring for my new ear piercings. And they were very careful about guaranteeing the whole process was hygenic. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get piercings done.
Sam Wade
Patrick was awesome with my philtrum piercing. He was very careful and patient with getting the placement just right. I've never had a piercer who was that thorough, and I believe because of him checking the placement of my teeth, etc, I'm experiencing very few annoyances that usually come with philtrum piercings. It's not rubbing or getting caught on my teeth at all, and it's completely comfortable despite the typical swelling. The ladies at the front desk were also amazing with helping me decide jewelry. I'm very happy with my result and I'd absolutely recommend them.
Angie Tolman
There are not enough stars that would do this place justice! We took our almost 8 year old there to get her first ear piercing and Emmy, Catarina, and really their whole staff was just incredible to us! Very smooth, super nice to my daughter, and hardly hurt at all! Highly recommended!
Alexandra Kennedy
Let me start off by saying our piercer, Cat, was phenomenal. Very kind, professional, and personal. The piercing was not nearly as painful as I had anticipated, and Cat made the whole experience very enjoyable.
The prices of the jewelry are rather steep. For example, a pretty little stud I liked was $250 and it wasn't even real opal. Needless to say, I went with a different piece.
It's also annoying that the prices aren't listed anywhere, so you have to ask about every single piece you have your eye on. I think there needs to be a more efficient way to go about this.
Additionally, the staff at the front wasnt very friendly, and acted annoyed when I asked questions about jewelry pricing (again, easily remedied with a little work).
Overall, it was good. Not great, but good.
Asher Wry
Koi has been around for a long time for a reason. Passionate professionals who are caring, kind and know what they're doing. I've had a few things pierced here and they've all been done very well and healed quickly. I would recommend this place over anywhere else in the state if you want literally anything pierced.
Monica Christensen
We were in earlier today to get my sons nostril pierced. While we were waiting a woman had a seizure or fell I'm not sure. The staff immediately stopped what they were doing and began helping her. They made sure she was fully aware of where she was and made sure she was OK before helping her to her car. It was amazing to see! Good job koi staff!! ❤️
Stephanie VanBeuge
Great customer service overall.
I really like that they let you choose from a wide range of jewlery right when you walk in.
The piercing itself went really well. You can tell that they know what they're doing from how the piercers communicate with each other. They also take into account your body and what will work best for it, which is important.
They answered all my questions about aftercare that were not already in the pamphlet they handed me as soon as I walked in the door. I loved getting pierced here.
Anonymous
I came to Koi to redo failed daith piercings, for migraines, that I had done elsewhere. Jade was super friendly and professional, and soothed my anxieties about getting pierced again. They were the least painful piercings I’ve ever had. Easiest healing time as well.
Brittany P
This is the place to go to for piercings. They have an amazing selection of jewelry and the staff is so friendly.
Patrick did my piercings. I was pretty nervous going into it, but he made me feel really relaxed. He was very knowledgeable and took the time to make sure they were even and in a good position for my body. He even gave me his personal number to call if I had any questions after I left. They look amazing and I couldn't be happier! Thank you koi!
Marta Buist
This place made our experience so enjoyable. We are all from out of town celebrating my sisters 40th birthday and decided we wanted some new piercings. We were promptly greeted upon entering and helped every step of the way from picking out earrings to questions and care. There was a little bit of a wait but they let us know. Frank pierced us all and I was so impressed by his cleanliness, the way he explained everything he was doing and how comfortable he made the experience. He was so incredible and I had no doubt I was in good hands. Thank you Koi! We’ll remember it forever.
Jenna
First time at KOI and it was fantastic. I can see why they have such great reviews and awesome referrals. DeeJay did my doth piercing and he was so nice and patient. Very easy to talk to and made sure I was comfortable with everything he was doing. The building is very clean and the staff was wonderful.
Yasmin A
Let me tell you I have never been to such a great place to get my piercing! Patrick has done all mine and he great won't go to anyone else! Nice cool and professional, he did a bar bell on me and I had trouble getting it to heal, but he help me with different options on get getting to stop swelling and hurt to the point were I could wear it again painless and no swelling! Plus he was patient with me the whole process ( a four months one too) everyone who works hear are really nice too. So yeah I 100% recommend this place!!!! 👍🏽
Eileen Sopko
Enjoyed our experience. Everyone was very nice. It was very busy at the time we went. It was like 630 on a Tuesday. My daughter got both sides of her nose pierced. The selection was good. Patrick did the piercings. He was very careful and maticulate about the placing. Turned out wonderful. Highly recommend Koi.
Annie Prebble
I have visited Koi several times for my jewelry & piercing needs. All times have been very pleasant, especially today’s!
Although they were busy, the entire staff & the piercers remained very calm, friendly, & were extremely helpful during the rush.
I was pierced by Aubrilynn, who provides the most EXCEPTIONAL service!
She made me feel comfortable & safe at all times. The piercing was very painless.
Huge thank you to Aubrilynn, Audrey, & Ashley for the wonderful experience.
Will definitely be going back!
Samantha Dunford
I was looking to get my 2nd and 3rd lobe piercings and was referred to Koi by EVERYONE I brought it up to. I'm glad that I listened, it was beyond expectations. They have a good variety of jewelry, a little more expensive than other places but well worth it - you can tell the superior quality just by looking at it. DeeJ was my piercer, he was friendly, proficient, and made me feel at ease. Minimal pain, minimal time, crazy professional work. Definitely will recommend to anyone looking for quality piercings!
Michelle Forsey
Clean shop, loved the way they handled the covid quarantine bit. Michelle did an amazing job! And Aubrey in the front office was just the best at helping me pick out the right piece of jewelry for my daith piercing!
Jessica Baehr
Love this shop!! The employees are so kind and knowledgeable. Had my septum pierced by DJ and my nipples pierced later by Frank. Both men were incredibly professional and walked me through every step. I felt extremely comfortable and welcomed. I recommend Koi to everyone I can and will continue to do so. Worth every penny!
Jahziel Galvan
I got my navel pierced by Deej for my 18th birthday. He was super chill and made me feel super comfortable and did an amazing job. I felt very safe and clean. The prices were worth the quality of everything. All the staff was amazing and the whole vibe of the place was welcoming.
Remmy Erickson
Very glad I got my Daith piercings done here. I was antsy about getting them done because I had only ever gotten my lobes pierced before when I was 18. I pierced my Daith's for the most common reason; a holistic way to help with my daily migraines. The staff was very knowledgeable and upfront about how there had never been any studies done supporting or discrediting whether the piercing actually helps with migraines. Piercer was friendly but the counter girls were pretty rude. The whole building was very clean. They wouldn't allow you to make an appointment in advance so you had to come early, check in, and come back in 2 hours when it was your turn. I had gotten there exactly when they opened as well so that gives you a good idea as to how busy they really are. When it came time to pick jewelry they only had one choice because they had been sold out of their other choice for several months. Wish they had more of a variety because you shouldn't get your jewelry changed until you've had them in for a year, according to the piercer.
Megan Russell
I absolutely will not go to any where else for piercings! I have gotten all of them from here except my ears (and that's because I was really young). They have the best customer service in a piercing studio and are also really patient if you are still deciding. They are great at educating you well on what types of piercings you are looking into and the jewelry that will work for you.
A Ellsworth
Koi was the place I and my children have gone for our wild crazy second piercings. We have enjoyed the environment and energy of the place. Patrick has made me and 3 of my children much more sparkly with our extra ear bling. We love it and have gone back several times. ❤️❤️
Joshua Hansenreeve
Wait time was an hour, but wasn't too bad since I left and came back while they held my spot in line. I was in and out in under 10 minutes for my industrial, and received some great advice from Patrick. By far the least painful, quickest, and best looking piercing I have. Thank you, KOI!
Bryannon Burnham
I went in to ask for a second opinion on my helix piercing. He helped me find out what was wrong with it, and gave me advice on what other piercings I could get. There was a bit of a wait but it was definitely worth it. I will definitely be coming back! There was a miscommunication with the price, but they immediately called me to fix it and refund me. Amazing customer service!!
Nikki Shubert
My 2 young daughters, my mother and I, all got our ears pierced at the same time. You should expect a long wait and high quality jewelry. The staff is friendly and professional. You pay for what you get and i'm very pleased. My youngest was scared and our piercer was so good with her.
James Sanders
Super safe, super nice, super knowledgeable! They did my daughter's first ear piercing and they did a great job and made it a great experience for her. Thanks!
Bruce Boyes
Pleasant and professional staff. High quality equipment and procedures. No corners cut. DJ was very thorough and patient and even gave his personal contact info in case of any problems. There was a bit of a wait in middle of a Friday. Extensive selection of earrings, studs, etc. Seems like a more high-end establishment. Definitely a few steps above the chain mall piercing shop.
Sadie Ash
This place is amazing. Their piercers are fantastic overall! I’ve gone to DJ for many piercings and he’s done amazing on all of them!
When one of my piercings ripped halfway out, they got me in immediately and treated the situation wonderfully and professionally. Constantly telling me how proud they were of me, handling my piercing very delicately and even fixed it so I wouldn’t have to take it out permanently. I appreciate this place so much! Thank you guys!
Trisha Alarid
Took my niece to get a piercing. This was her first. She was nervous and the staff were so polite and they did an amazing job making her feel at ease. They also were so great at explaining to her every step along the process and so thorough with their after care instructions. They even said we could text the piercer with questions.
POE TOGAFAU-FITI
I was pressing on my forehead due to a migraine and my piercer Patrick was on his game by turning of the lights for me without me requesting. That was a plus for customer service. The girls in the front were sweet and Patrick rocked. The facility is clean and has great energy. I plan on keeping Patrick as my go to Piercer and I would highly recommend this piercing studio.
Tanja G
The studio was clean and the staff was extremely helpful.
Patrick made my 4 helix piercings painless. He answered all of my questions, gave me a business card in case I had questions for him and he was very friendly.
I will definitely go back to KOI Piercing Studio in the future.
Braxton Wangsgard
This was my first ever time getting anything pierced, and it was a very quick and smooth experience! Deej was awesome and super friendly. He walked me through every step and did an excellent job. I'll be coming back in the future!
Amanda Moon
I had my industrial piercing done here by a piercer named Patrick. I HIGHLY recommend going here, especially to him! The staff is great, friendly, and he is the best! My industrial hardly hurt at all, and I was in and out fairly fast. 10/10 I recommend to go here. They are a very busy place (because they are so good at their job!) but I guarantee you won't find a better place than here!
Jennifer Morison
There was a BIG line when I got there and it was only 15 to 20 minutes after they opened. Seemed like a lot of returning customers there though so that made me feel good about this place. They were extremely nice and knowledgeable. Very professional as well. I got a piercing redone that had not been done correctly in the past at a different location and they seem to have done a great job this time. I will be back to this place.
Maria Brower
Patrick was so awesome and calm putting in my 2 daughter's nose piercing and my own. He put back my belly ring and was super careful! He made us laugh and gave us great instructions! Just focus on his pretty blue eyes!
Shaun Carter
I've never been anywhere else. I trust KOI wholeheartedly! Went in today to get some brow piercings and left with some new holes in my body! Couldn't be happier!

We had a great experience! We went as a family to get my daughters ears pierced. Frank was very calm and professional while working with our Alice on her fifth birthday. We couldn’t be happier! Alice loves her new earrings!
Thank you Frank and thank you Koi for helping us make this an easy and fun family experience!
Elizabeth Watson
This is the only place I will go if I want more piercings in the future! I’ve gotten 3 piercings here, both nipples and my VCH and all healed super well and look great! I always recommend this place whenever people ask me where to go for piercings in Utah!
Mikayla Thompson
Patrick pierced my nostril, and he was great! I was slightly nervous in the beginning, but he was so welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. He explained everything he would be doing and did what he could to make sure I was satisfied. Answered all of my questions. Very happy with him, and will recommend him to everyone!
Arrakis Rasmussen
They are very professional, and have an amazing selection of high end jewelry. I have had all my piercings done there for the last few decades, and recently took my 11 year old daughter to get her ears pierced at Koi. I would %100 recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

The shop was very professional looking, clean as well. There were multiple piercers and we had 4 of us getting 2 piercings each. The wait was very short and we got in and out with the actual piercing part in about 17 mins. Patrick was amazing and while they were alot higher priced for basic jewelry (we each paid 112$ for the 2 piercings and barbells with no colored jewels on the ends) it was worth it. 5/5 stars, definitely reccomend.
Tayler Eddy
Great place! Frank was AMAZING with my almost 4 year old when she got her ears pierced. Super informative about the whole process and everything that comes afterwards (care, cleaning, when to change to new posts, etc). Drove 7 hours to get it done and it was worth it! My daughter still loves her new earrings!
Samantha Burfiend
I had a not great experience getting my nose pierced at another local shop, but when I called Koi and asked for help they were so accommodating. They traded out my jewelry for no cost but the price of the jewelry and a tip obviously. The wait was ten minutes, but I made sure to call in before to check wait time. These guys are great!
Georgia Sasine
I have gotten every single one of piercing done here. They're pretty busy, so I would recommend coming in right when they open. But they are helpful, and have really cool jewelry. DJ has done all of my piercings, and he's honestly really awesome. He tells you just what to expect, and what's coming next. They're clean, and effiecent.
Rosemary phillips
Frank did and amazing job on my Daith- he explained the step by step process, was calming, and I knew what he was doing at all times. He made the piercing painless and was very quick. The whole staff kicks ass but I would definitely recommend Frank
Melanie Bartholomew
I had an amazing experience with Frank today. He made me feel super comfortable and calm through the whole process. Koi has the best upfront piercing fee I've been able to find. They do have a large variety of expensive jewelry, but they do also have lower end options available if that's what you're looking for.
Halie Christine
Patrick did an amazing job with piercing my industrial and my tragus! I have a total of 10 piercings and he by far was the best piercer I've been to. Very relaxing atmosphere, very professional! Definitely going to be coming back for all of my future piercings! Thank you Patrick!

They were busy on the Friday I came in and told me it'd be a 1.5 - 2 hour wait, but offered to call me when it was closer to my turn, so I could come back. I waited there and it did take a little more than an hour. The girls at the counter were SUPER nice, informative, and friendly, even when I was asking 20 questions and changed my jewelry choice twice. DJ pierced me and I would ask for him again/recommend him. Reason being I had my helix pierced twice before by two other professional shops, and my ear ended up hurting for days after, but I stepped off of DJ's table with hardly any pain. I really appreciated it. He also really knew his stuff, and was so friendly and considerate.
Camille Smith
Our daughter got her ears pierced. The service was quick and the person doing the piercing was great and patient and walked her through each step to help ease her fears. The cost is much more than something you would get at the mall but the quality of product is much higher and it is a professional doing the work not just any employee. Even though the piercer themself was great it doesn't seem like they pierce a lot of kids ears. The person that helped us when we first got there seem annoyed and gave us information contrary to the care pamphlet they provided post service. They also spent more time talking behind the counter to each other then helping customers. There also wasn't a lot of instruction for care or post care but I also didn't ask.
Jean Bean
Super awesome shop! They only take walk ins and I got there a few minutes before opening and there was already a pretty good line forming. It took about and hour and a half to get my piercing. Patrick was my piercer and he’s just an all around amazing person! He pierced both my daiths while I had a headache And with in seconds my headache was gone, it was the most relieving feeling ever! 100% recommend going to them for anything about piercings! Just expect to have it take a few hours. if you go later in the day I would recommend calling them and seeing what their wait time is.
Mariah Dodge
I had gotten two piercings done by Aubrilynn she made me feel more then comfortable. The shop was a comfortable environment and clean. Aubrilynn took her time and did my bottom navel and my nose. I had such a great experience I came back a month latter and a nice gentleman pierced my tongue (can't remember name) but the whole staff is amazing and welcoming! They answer every question! I wouldn't want to go anywhere but here.!!!!!(: thanks Koi!
Jeana Mascio
I love Koi! Their customer service is awesome and their piercers are very experienced and knowledgeable. Not to mention very clean and sanitary for sure! I got an orbital piercing done here about 7 months ago and they are even going to make me jewelry for it that is specific to my piercing. I have also bought jewelry here and it's free to have them put it in. I'll definitely be going back for future piercings.
Darius Reidace
Got my snakebites here about 3 weeks ago. Long wait, but definitely worth it. Sundays much busier than you would think. Two piercers worked on my lip, I forgot the girl's name, but she was the tiny one with big glasses and two dermal anchors on her forehead, super sweet too, and Patrick. Patrick was amazing. My lips are shaped funny, so one side had to be adjusted, and he was the one to fix it, and I barely even felt it even though I'd already been stabbed on that side once. Incredibly clean and meticulous. Definitely going back for more! Would highly recommend!!
Lynn Phillips
Great shop with knowledgeable staff. I got my septum done by Patrick, a senior piercer, and he was fantastic. He was friendly, funny and made us feel at ease and comfortable, reducing our nerves. The piercing job was quick, he talked us through it and it didn't hurt at all. Definitely recommend!
David May
KOI Studio is a testament to the value of going to a specialist. Their service is friendly, professional and quick. The entire interaction gives you confidence that you're in good hands. Excellent experience.
Emily Maxwell
I really loved this place. Everyone there is exceptionally helpful and pleasant. GO HERE. Deej did my piercing and it is PERFECT! He made it really easy and gave great advice for after care. So glad I went here.
Stephanie Snowball
They are amazing. We got my daughter's tongue pierced for her birthday and the service was awesome! Although I had been told that KOI is quite expensive it really wasn't. The actually piercing was the same (if not less expensive) than other studios. The jewelry was a little much, but it is VERY GOOD quality.
They guy that actually performed the piercing was great. I had my younger children with me and instead of being rude or act 'put out' he joked around with them and was very sweet! THANKS KOI!!
ShiAnne Dansie
Koi is great. I got my tragus done here and they were very professional, clean, and answered all my questions. A few months later I had to have surgery and I dropped by to have a retainer put in. After surgery, I went to have my jewelry put back in and all the receptionists were very kind and made sure I had a place to sit and was as physically comfortable as possible. The piercer got to me in such a quick and timely manner, I couldn't have asked for better customer service. Thank you, Koi!
Would recommend to a friend!
Lexi Florez
I just got my belly button pierced tonight. The guy who did my piercing was very funny and made it quick and easy. He was clean, answered all my questions and explained how to care for my new piercing. It's definitely worth the price and waiting time! 100% recommend getting a piercing done here.
Randa Sharp
Patrick pierced both of my Daith piercings in June of 2017. Best experience ever!! He totally put me at ease and let my 14 year old watch (at the time). Just called tonight to ask about getting my jewelry changed out for a medical procedure. Was treated awesome, all my questions were answered, even with it being close to closing time.
Once again top notch help!
Jade Johnson
Everyone has their bad days for sure, but anyone who legitimately gives this studio a poor review has to be on crack. I have pretty intense social anxiety, but every time I've gone to this studio to get a new piercing, I've only ever left happy, not only with the work of my new jewelry, but the social interaction in the process. That, to me, means a LOT. Yesterday, I went in to get a triple helix piercing and, although I've had many piercings done, I always get anxious almost purely due to the social interaction. I will NEVER go anywhere else other than Koi for SO many reasons. I went in and the blonde jewelry connoisseur (I didn't get your name, I'm sorry) was SO sweet the entire time, from checking in, giving suggestions and advice in helping me pick out my jewelry, to after the piercing. I might have felt like just another customer coming in, but she definitely made me feel like they really care about what they do and the outcome - she even commented how my triple helix complemented another of my piercings. She really felt like a friend and I love that! On top of that, Frank (piercer) was SO nice the whole time! Not only was he PERFECT with the actual location of the piercings (he showed me the points first, but he was spot on), but he was checking with me, how I was doing during the piercing and movement of the rings (due to the pain), but also really just made me feel super comfortable with normal conversation. I LOVE KOI 9000%. I've never had a poor experience with any of the staff - they don't view you as just another customer, they treat you like a person, which is amazing to me. They're such genuine people and each time I've gone they've made me feel like a friend, which for me, makes such a huge impression. I have a good amount of piercings and anytime anyone asks me for a recommendation, you BEST BELIEVE I'm sending them to Koi.
Rebecca Baermann
I went in today to get a medusa, it was super quick and easy. My piercer was Aubrilynn and she was wonderful! She made me feel very comfortable and relaxed and was super professional. It only took about five minutes from the time I got called back until it was done. Prices were great as well!
Nocacon
Great work, all the employees were very friendly and I ended up with great cartilage piercings
Elizabeth Leach
DJ was so kind and cool. Everyone there had good juju. Clean nice environment, super nice people, good jewelry choices, and the piercing went well. DJ knew what he was doing, talked throughout in helpful ways "breath in and breath out" kind of guides you through the process. All around I had a fantastic experience from beginning to end.
Heather Nickole
I had a very good experience at Koi. I walked in and they had the exact time I would have to wait and I was able to leave and come back when they called me. Getting pierced only took around 3 minutes and I was out. DeeJ was very nice and fast. Didn't even hurt me(got my nostril done). Jewelry is very good quality and Koi is overall a very fun environment. Would recommend.
Angelica Meyer
Pretty popular place. Sometimes there can be a long wait but it is worth it. I never go to any other piercing studio in SLC. They are clean, helpful and very friendly here. The staff is all very knowledgeable and can easily answer questions.
mindy Simmons
Amazing place! I have had nothing but great experiences here. I have had 2 piercings done here. The piercer was knowledgeable professional and everything was so clean. The front desk staff is amazing worked with me to get custom jewelry made all at a very reasonable price. I will be going back here for all of my future piercings!
Brityn Ballard
I just spent 100 on a navel piercing, ring, and tip and it was worth every penny. The studio is awesome to begin with, super clean and the staff are all so nice and awesome. It's walk in based so i just showed up spur of the moment and not only did i get my belly button re-pierced (last one was crooked and done somewhere else.) but, Patrick the wizard removed a ring on my pinky that was cutting off circulation. Also the piercing was so smooth! he did such a good job! It was painless! So thanks Patrick for saving my finger and re-piercing my belly!
SlcUtah WhatsUp
Got my Nipples pierced here, such a fun experience! Everyone who works there is very professional and the shop is very clean. They take walk ins to, which is great. They're always very busy, but waiting a little is worth it! 10/10 would reccomend.
Adele Ziemek
Literally the best piercing shop I have ever been to. So professional, clean, and reasonably priced. They consider what will look best on YOUR ear, very customized! Thank you Koi! I’m obsessed.
Dani Duncan
Koi is absolutely my favorite piercing studio.
Their facilities are always clean and the staff is knowledgeable.
They are the only ones I trust to pierce me, and they even pierced my daughter's ears. They were fantastic with her and in that moment, they had my business for life.
Somer Gayler
I had a friend of mine tell me about this place so I decided this was where I wanted to go. I couldn’t have chosen a better option! Everyone here was super friendly and welcoming, they answered all the questions from everyone and they seemed to be super calm even though their lobby area was completely full. Frank is who pierced my nipples, he was very polite and professional. I’ll definitely be back! I was/still am very impressed with their work!
Keeley Xie
Been here multiple times for piercings. Twice for myself, once for my aunt, and once for my daughter. I wouldn't go anywhere else for piercings because these guys are professional and know what they are doing. Equipment is cleaned and proper sanitation is used every step of the way. Aubrilynn was my piercer and almost for my daughter as well, who ended up being too nervous. She was so understanding and patient with my girl, I couldn't recommend her enough.
Because of their popularity and lack of appointments, I highly recommend taking the time to come during the week and make sure to be there before opening because lines form quick.
Starrman
Michelle pierced my daith and my anxiety and adhd have been cut in half ever since. Everyone was super nice and extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Wish I had done this years ago.
Chloe Nord
I went in and got my daith pierced for my 15th birthday because I have chronic migraines, and it was an incredible experience. Everyone there was so nice, and the shop was so clean. They also use sterilized needles and medical grade metal, which is awesome. And when my body had shock from the piercing and I got lightheaded, they took great care of me and made sure I was okay before I left. I will DEFINITELY be going back if I decide to get another piercing
Kim Lee
Patrick was really great! He really knows his stuff. I had to have my ears repierced after they had closed up. He was able to re-pierce them and put my own ear rings. I would definitely recommend him.
Trisha Smith
Great experience! Very friendly staff. Frank did my tongue piercing and i couldn't have asked for anyone better. He is personable,soothing, and very good at what he does.
I would recommend koi and Frank to anyone wanting a piercing.
MarlieAnne Wimber
I got a double helix piercing on my birthday not too long ago. Barely felt anything, and the staff was super great. Patrick, who did my piercing, was nice, and very quick. I had an awesome experience and plan on returning soon to get a vertical labret. Totally recommend this place.
Dennis Lundstrom
Took my 8 year old to have her ears pierced for the first time today for her birthday. I knew I didn't want it done by a teenager in a mall. Friends recommend KOI. Employees were very professional! And the facility is very clean. I'm glad we went to KOI.
Stephanie Luckey
Everybody was amazing. Super nice and welcoming. Jade was great, and gave me ideas for my next piercing too!
Cassandra Martin
Great place to go. Great selection of piercings for whatever you're looking to get. Staff are excellent. Super clean and the equipment used is very sanitized. Definitely comfortable getting my piercing done at KOI
Tressa Ririe
These guys are professionals! Don't risk going to the mall. Ever. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and do everything to make you feel comfortable about your piercings. I won't go anywhere else for myself or my kids.
Annie Johnson
My experience at Koi was nothing short of amazing. My husband and I adopted our teenage foster daughters a couple months ago. They had both been wanting nose piercings for awhile so I decided to surprise them on their adoption day and take them to get pierced. It was the day of our adoption so I obviously hadn’t had a chance to get birth certificates to prove their age so Koi worked with me and took our adoption papers as proof of their age and of my guardianship. I also got my nose pierced at the same time my daughters did. Everything was incredibly clean and all the staff working were very professional and kind. After we were done being pierced and I went to pay the bill they informed me that they had covered all THREE of our piercing fees because they wanted to help us continue celebrating such an important day! Like what!? How amazing is that? So all I paid for was our jewelry. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone wanting a good, professional and clean piercing. Thanks Koi! I still can’t get over the generosity and kindness you showed my daughters and I that day. I tell everyone I can this story!
Lee Ann
Me and my friend got a nipple and navel piercing here by Frank, who was incredibly respectful, polite, and reassuring during our experience. I'm very new to it all and he let me play music, helped calm me down, and he was incredibly respectful and professional while the nipples were pierced. More importantly- the piercings are beautifully even, went in smoothly, and look great!
Kayla Washburn
My piercings were done by Frank and he was super quick, very friendly, made sure I knew how to care for my piercings, made sure I was satisfied with the positioning. Sometimes the wait can be a little long but the fact that people are willing to sometimes wait hours to go to this place really speaks a lot to how great they are.
B Vincent
Went in tonight for my second daith piercing. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. It was quite a bit busier than last time I visited, but I never felt rushed, only taken care of. Wait time was less than they estimated. I look forward to going back when this piercing is healed.
Tiffany Hoy
Went here to get my helix pierced and they were awesome! They have a big selection of piercings to choose from. Jade did my piercing and she is amazing. Would definitely go there again!
Elphey Israel (Elphey)
Before leaving my review I really want to point out the importance of showing up at or before the time they open for the best and quickest service, as waiting is the major complaint I read in these reviews. I asked about prices, ran home for my wallet, came back, and was seen in about an hour total.
I had two earrings with the flat backs installed, so this review is on installation and not piercings.
I had a lovely time here yesterday. Upfront they were able to give me an exact number for what the final cost would be for many options before I even was seen or checked out. This is one of the complaints that I see that it's going to be expensive - but remember that you're paying for the jewelry, the installation, the sanitization, the piercers time + job experience, and the equipment that is used.
The piercer was able to open up a piercing that I thought was closed for nearly a decade. This saved me the fee of getting one part of my earlobe repierced later, I'll have to come back for piercing the other closed up one!
Installing two of their smaller earrings was $75.
Ali Whitehead
I have been here for just ear piercings but I wouldn't dare go anywhere else. this place is so so clean and everyone there is so kind. They walked me through everything to make sure we were all on the same page before they pierced my ear. Then when they did it they explained all the healing process and how to help it. Honestly this place is amazing.
Remei Smith
The workers were great, the guy who pierced my ears was amazing! I was terrified and he knew just how to calm me down. I'm very happy with how the piercing looks! I would definitely recommend it!
Nick
I had my tongue pierced today by Patrick, and i have to say he exceeded my exceptions. I was extremely nervous and feared the worst but he was quick and made it virtually painless. Staff is super friendly and its a beautiful studio. I am looking forward to having more piercings done in the future there.
David Reynolds
I took my six year old daughter to get her ears pierced here, and they did a fantastic job. Patrick was so nice to her. He took his time. He made sure that the piercings were lined up, even though her lobs were a little off, which I of course never noticed on my perfect little girl. But he showed me what he did, why he did it, and I was so impressed. I have seen other little girls with misaligned piercings, which is horrible, so I was very concerned about that. But I didn't even mention it. Patrick did an amazing job and put me at peace. My little girl is my treasure, and Patrick treated her that way.
Kiley Campbell
This was a great place. It was clean, everyone was very nice and experienced. I went in to get my ears pierced and it was a breeze. I was nervous but it was all for naught, thanks to their expertise, it was quick and for the most part painless. If I ever want to get another piercing, I'll be sure to go there.
Sarah Longaker
kOi Piercing Studio is by far the best place in Utah for piercings. The piercers are extremely knowledgeable and care about their patrons. They have only the best jewelry and will advise you on what will work best with your anatomy.
Jonathan Rees
I got four cartilage piercings my first time here and they are nearly perfectly symmetrical, it was also nearly painless during the process. I've been back a few time to ask questions and get my sizes upped a bit since then and they are always super friendly, knowledgeable, very clean, and organized. I'd never go anywhere else. ^_^
Kira Tadehara
I had previously gotten my septum pierced by another shop that didn't do so well so they fixed it up for me! It hurt much less, didn't take as long, and healed quicker. The atmosphere was great, the folks knowledgeable, and I will definitely be going back for more piercings! I can't recommend this place enough. They are the absolute best.
Soul Coffee!
If you're getting a facial piercing and live in the valley, this is the place to come to. I trust the piercers and they do an amazing job walking through everything. The pricing is reasonable and it has a cute atmosphere. I got my nostril and septum here and the piercers did amazing both times. Thank you!
Mindy Woodall
Leaving this review after I went somewhere else for a piercing and had it go REAL BADLY. It made me appreciate how good of a job Koi does.
Koi has done two cartilage piercings for me in the past and they’ve always been super knowledgeable and professional and both piercings healed well thanks to their instructions. The only complaint I have is that the wait time is always soooo long. Be prepared to hang out for quite a while.
Manda Graham
I just got my helix pierced at Koi today. They did a really wonderful job making sure everything was sanitary and that I was comfortable during the process. I can’t give 5 stars though because when I emailed Koi about pricing, they said I could purchase jewelry for a helix piercing as low as $19, but that was not the case. The cheapest jewelry was $35. It would have been nice to know this when going in, so I didn’t feel a little blind sided about the price.
Richard Ramirez
I loved this piercing shop!! My mom and I got our cartilage pierced and the guy that pierced us was very nice, helpful, and the place was really inexpensive and the girls at the desk were very nice too!! Over all this place was amazing will definitely be going back to get other piercings in the future.
Lori Jade
This place is amazing!!! I went to get a Daith piercing for migraines. The whole staff was fun to work with. Patrick was absolutely amazing!!! I was so impressed!!!! I hardly felt anything. If you can, I would request him specifically. I won’t go to anybody else now!!!
Melissa Ash
So clean and professional. DEEJ was absolutely amazing! He took the time to talk kindly to my daughter, and explained everything that was happening. He talked to her, even though she was 8, instead of asking me about her. It was fabulous and made the experience even better. The piercings look amazing, too.
Marriann Steffensen
Great place to get piercings done. Great customer service from start to finish. Girls were very helpful in the front. Patrick did my piercings he was very helpful great at keeping me calm. Will go back in the future for more piercings!
Jeno
I had came to Koi on a weekend first, and it was too packed, about a 3 hour wait it would have been, so I decided to come back on a Wednesday when they opened (Which was 12:30 in the afternoon) Patrick took down all of my information and was super helpful, really nice, and incredibly knowledgeable about jewelry and what suits your face type. It was about an hour and 40 mins wait time (this place is packed for a reason, totally worth it in my opinion) Deej (DJ) took care of me, I was re-gauging me ears, and getting my septum pierced. He did so good, really friendly, made the process smooth, had some laughs, and his work is great. They help you with after care, and answer any questions you have. Great place, 10/10 would get stabbed in the face again <3
Estefania Aguilar
I accompanied my mom here for a daith piercing she wanted to get to hopefully combat the horrible migraines she gets. The check in process was easy. There waiting room is quite small so you might end up standing if it's busy. We came on a Tuesday afternoon and had over an hour wait (you apparently can't make appointments). Patrick ended up doing my moms piercing and she couldn't be happier with his service. He knew what he was doing and was extremely clean and gentle with the piercing process. I thought the prices were fair and would definitely recommend anyone go to Patrick for their piercing needs.
Also, my mom's migraines haven't disappered but have gone down considerably in terms of frequency and severity, might be a placebo effect but we'll take what we can get!
Stephanie Turpin
Wait is super long. But totally worth it. I went in 7 minutes after the opened on a Friday and still had to wait 3 hours. But other than that, everyone was super professional. The piercing itself was super quick and the space was bright and clean. Probably will come back on a week day and get something else done.
Pedro Sierra
Very professional staff and facility. The faculty is impeccably clean and organized. Their procedures for maintaining sterile tools and interaction is excellent. Great prices and excellent service make for an enjoyable experience. I've been going to Koi for my piercing needs since 2003 and have always had fantastic service. If you are looking for highly skilled and capable piercers, go to Koi.
Jaren Barlocker
This place can do pretty much any piercing you can imagine. We came to get the daith piercing for migraines and had a pleasant experience. The employees know what they are doing, so you don't have to worry about much. You'll want to make sure you plan a lot of time when visiting here. They don't do appointments, it's only walk-in, so if it's a busy day it might take some time. But it will be worth the wait.
Taylor McIntyre
Got daith piercings from Deej. He was great to work with, knows what he's doing, and the shop was clean and organized. I'll be back for more, thanks for the great experience!
D Mulholland
I cannot say enough good about Koi piercing. I was referred there by a friend and went after my 8-year-old daughter needed her ears redone from a botched mall piercing. Patrick helped her and was SUPER patient. He was also very patient with a traumatized Mom, watching her daughter go through another piercing. The fixed ear piercings are beautiful!!! My daughter still talks about Patrick like he is an old friend. It's wonderful that there is a place like this that takes such good care of people with their piercings, and that provides exceptional care of young children.
Olivia Sunday
This place is the best. Entering the doors, you are welcomed to the store by the friendly folks behind the desk, who are happy to explain the answers to any questions you may have and let you know what to expect. Come before 5 if you want to get done right away. After school/work hours the place is packed and you will never get in.
Patrick is very particular about the piercings he does, and very focused and serious about what he does. His attention to detail make for the most perfectly placed piercings you could ask for. He did my septum, and was very creative in making it look perfect with my crooked nostrils. I felt very much at ease with Patrick. He is careful, gentle, clean, and I would trust him with any piercing.
DJ is such a sweetheart. He did my traguses and nipples; the ears were a little crooked, but I'm not sure if that's just because cartilage is harder to pierce. My nips however turned out even better than I had hoped, if that is possible.
Stefanie Joseph
I took my five year old to Frank at Koi and was impressed with his patience, education, and care. She has a friend for life and has asked when she gets to see her new buddy again. I also got a piercing while I was there and was impressed with how easy, minimal pain and the extra care Frank took on educating me on placement. Would highly recommend!
Brooke Bowman
I Love this place. I bought great quality gauges and got my ears pierced and they turned out great. The employee who did them was very kind throughout the whole experience. THANK YOU!
Ky Haslam
I just went and got my daithe pierced here. It's a super sterile environment, I felt confident walking into this shop. These artists are so knowledgeable about what they do. Deej pierced my ear and he was so kind and helpful. He gave me all the information I needed instead of just assuming I already knew about it. He did such a great job and was super fast and confident with piercing my ear, he was done within probably 30 seconds. I highly recommend this place but even more, I definitely suggest getting the piercing through Deej, he's such a great guy!
S Havens
Absolutly phenomonal experience at this shop! Each person was friendly and helpful. Aubrilynn did a great job on my nipple piercings. She was friendly and knowledgeable. Patrick came in to supervise my VCH. Both of them were down to earth and made me comfortable. I will recommend them to everyone. I am very happy with all three piercings. There was an hour and half wait but it was definatly worth it and I knew about the wait from someone else's review so we went prepared. Again, these guys are top notch.
Joe C
9 piercings done here. All healed beautifull . Very knowledgeable staff. Great people. Can't wait to take my kids here to get pierced. For some expensive but worth it for the quality of jewelry and knowledge of the staff.
Mandy Garlick
I saw Patrick today for a naval piercing that was not typical. He took his time and really made me aware of what to expect with it. I am so happy with my piercing but even more so with the treatment and education I was given. I will only go here from now on and will refer anyone who wants any body implants or piercings done to these guys. Thank you KOI
Bethany Day
I have had several piercings and initially went to tattoo parlors. After going to KOI I realized how wrong I had been doing things. They are much more accurate, my piercings always turn out straight and in the correct spot. They are sanitary and my recovery is much quicker. Wish I had done all my piercings there, would have saved me some scarring and off center piercings. The environment and staff is clean and friendly. The only downside is there is usually a wait, because they are so busy. It only makes sense to go to a business who specializes in piercings if that's what you want done versus a business who does it as a side note. Don't go anywhere else!
Rachael Pallerine
I got my septum pierced today! Let me tell you, I’m so glad I chose Koi! The moment I walked in the doors it was a great experience. I was greeted by some rad humans. They were very friendly and engaging during every step of the way. Deej did my piercing. He carried conversation well and made me feel at home. The piercing was fairly painless and he was careful with details in all the ways you hope for. I love my new piercing! Thanks Koi Studio!
Lynda Arellano
Outstanding! I took my daughter to get her ears pierced for her 14th birthday.
Deej was great with her. He made her feel comfortable and talk her through what was going to happen and discussed after care with her and explained the dos and don't with her very well.
Would highly suggest getting kids piercing done here. They are great!

Aubrilynne has done three of my piercings so far, I absolutely love her and I'll be going back to her for all my future piercings!!

Koi Piercing:
The good about koi is it’s unique decor and ambionce. Another great thing about Koi is they have really great choices in Jewlery, technique and cleanliness. Over all it went great with my piercing. However I didn’t appreciate the no appointment concept having other things to go and do. I also didn’t like the waiting space for koi, it wasn’t a welcoming wait area. The prices went up from when I had spoken with a lady on the phone to confirm my budget and make sure I can do this. I drive a full hour away with my whole family end up paying instead of 44$ like in the first place I end up having to pay 65$ now that’s okay however it was Kois fault they didn’t even have the sizing for the hoop and stud I wanted. To me if a customer is set on a price you shouldn’t keep increasing their price and the studio should have supplies for the Demand and honest

Very professional and did a great job on my piercing. They can be very busy but do try to accommodate and be as quick and helpful as possible. I would go again for any other piercing needs.
Tess Billingsley
Super quick and painless. Jade was sweet as can be, really patient and positive. The jewelry selection is really beautiful and diverse.
Emily Martinez
I've been going to KOI since it's inception. I will always recommend this shop for all your piercing needs. DJ did a great job on my piercings and is incredible to work with. I know I'm always welcome to pop in and ask a question.
Sheraya Fulton
KOI is phenomenal when it comes to the quality of their piercing professionals. If you want a great piercing, totally come here. But, be prepared for ridiculously long waits. Like 3+ hrs on the weekend. I wish they could expand and keep the same quality.
Angelie Genetti
Went there for 2 helix piercings! The guy who did them was DEEJ, he was super great and very kind. Calmed me down before I got them done, and was super fast with it! HIGHLY recommend!!!
Alyssa S
the staff were super friendly and helpful, and made my experience getting a piercing 10x better. frank did my piercings and he was super calm and walked me through the process beforehand which helped greatly.
Chelsea Denning
Wonderful experience. Another studio cancelled our appointment after we showed up. I called Koi, they got us in last minute on a cancelation. Michelle was patient, knowledgeable and professional.
Mama Bear
Koi is the best! No wonder they have such a high score on google. I went in at opening and although it was very busy and there was already a line formed I still recieved very personalized attention by all of the staff and the wait wasn't long at all maybe like 20 minutes at the most. I requested Patrick because of all of the nice things clients have said about him online and I'm glad I did because he was very sweet and profesional. My baby was crying loud the whoe time and he didnt even flinch! He treated me with respect and did a great job on my daith piercings, it didn't even hurt! Thanks Koi and thanks again Patrick 😀👍
Luke Peterson
The entire experience was awesome! Everyone was welcoming and kind. DEEJ did my piecing. He was amazing! He explained everything he was doing, was open to hear what I envisioned, and made it happen. He spent a great deal of time with me explaining aftercare and helping me understand the process. I drove 50 min to get there, and won't go anywhere else!! Thank you!
MISIA F
I got my helix pierced here four months ago and I absolutely love it! Patrick did an amazing job. The studio was very cleanly and the staff was friendly! Definitely recommend this place if you want to get a piercing done!

There's a reason why there's a line around the store an hour before they open on Sundays. They're that good. We've been here the times for piercings, and have dealt with a fair amount of their staff. Everyone there is super kind and attentive. We don't trust anyone else when it comes to piercing.
Autumn Amy
The best place to get a good septum piercing and getting upsized gauge. They are super kind and caring about the people they work with. I plan on going here for many more because they are so amazing!
Lashes&Lipgloss !!
Jade is amazing so is Patrick however...When I came in I stood in line and when it was my turn I stepped up right as she (the short haired young lady) was letting me know someone would be right with me. She then reached over and answered the phone while I stood there then after a minute or two of awkwardness another young lady spoke to me to ask how she could help. Overall my experience was a very good one but there should be a rule where you dont answer the phone in a customer's face. That caller probably could've waited.
Mary-Helen Pitman
Patrick pierced my nostril a few weeks ago, and he was AMAZING. I've heard amazing things about him, so I specifically requested him. I'm so glad I did. He had to move fairly quickly because there was a long line behind me, but he was so kind and patient with me. He did an amazing job at distracting me when it came to the actual piercing, so I was not expecting it to happen at all. He got the needle through my nose before I even knew what was happening. I was nervous about choosing the right side to put it in, but he placed it perfectly. I would seriously go to Koi for your piercings, and especially Patrick.
Shaylee Anastasia
I never leave reviews, but they deserve it! My friend and I got our daiths pierced by Deej and he did amazing! Everyone there was so friendly and it was very clean! I will definitely go back in the future if I get more piercings! The wait wasn’t very long but we got there as it opened. I will recommend this place to all of my friends!
Haylee Moore
I just got my 2nd piercing done! And it was fantastic looks so good! I will definitely be back.
Natalie Krall
Hands down the best place to go for piercings. They’re very professional and guide you through the entire process–from what jewelry suits your face and skin tone, to healing, to risks to watch out for, etc. They only stock really high quality jewelry so you know you’ll be safe. I felt completely confident and comfortable the entire time. If you’re thinking of getting a piercing, skip the grungy tattoo shop by your house and come to Koi.
Mads
The best piercing studio in all of salt lake! I’ve had piercings from other places and none of them compared to cleanliness, professionalism, or quality of Koi. I would recommend to anyone that is even thinking about getting a piercing check koi out. The wait is usually pretty long, but when it comes to something as permanent as a piercing waiting an extra 30 minutes is worth it!

One day out and my nose doesn't hurt at all. Patrick is a wonderful piercer. I actually was more anxious about getting my piercing than my tattoos. Patrick spent a good amount of time determining the best location for my nostril piercing and when he finally pierced me it was nothing more than a pinch. He was incredibly focused on hygiene. I will be back when I'm ready for my collarbone dermals and will request Patrick. The front office staff was friendly and welcoming. Thanks Melissa for the info on custom ordering jewelry. I can't talk up this shop enough.
Brooke P
I've gotten 18 of my 20 piercings done at Koi and 17 of them have been done by Patrick. He is the absolute best at what he does. He takes it very seriously and definitely gets in a zone when he works. I always feel completely safe in his competent hands. The staff is knowledgable, the environment is clean, and the atmosphere is very relaxed.
Jenna Carter
Listen here- Deej is seriously the best piercing artist ever. I was super nervous to get my nose pierced and I decided to go to Koi because a few friends recommended that I go there. I am SO glad that I heeded their advice. Deej was not only super great and walked me through everything, but when I told him how nervous I was, he was very understanding and talked to me until i felt comfortable to proceed. My piercing got a little swollen after the fact (apparently I subconsciously scratch at my nose more than I realized) and when I had concerns he got back to me right away and gave me tips on how to reduce the swelling and get it back in good shape. Also very sterile, they have a great system to make sure that each person gets 100% sterile instruments. The front desk staff was extremely helpful as well. 10/10 would recommend this shop! They are the epitome of a great piercing experience!
Rachel
So quick and super nice. LOVED Michelle! She was so kind and really made sure I got what I wanted. I keep going back to them year after year and their staff right now is by far the best!
Rachel Green
I went in to get both daith piercings. I was super nervous, but DJ was super knowledgeable and professional. He made me feel super comfortable and it wasn't as painful as I thought it'd be. Overall really happy with Koi and the prices are great.
Jeremy Comer
For many piercings, DJ has been my man over many years. Not too long ago, I made my venture; but he wasn't working. Not wishing to make the venture again, I settled on Patrick.
Being pierced by him was a great experience. I've had forty piercings with a range of nine piercers. Both of those two are outstanding. Koi is a studio, that regardless who is at the helm of the tri-bevel, I feel at ease and comfortable.
Great and prompt service. Great staff (including all who work the desk). Enjoyable experience time after time. Also, the best piercers I've encountered (and this says a lot).
Echo Booth
Very excellent and helpful staff. Organized and everything is kept very clean. Very popular, so there is often a wait, but depending on the piercing you're in and out pretty quickly. Great place for any piercing for any age.
Synthea Hardister
I really enjoyed my piercing personal kat, she was awesome. However, the ladies upfront lied about the wait time. Said 45 min tops and we were in the waiting room for an hour and a half. They also didn't say aything about us being able to leave and then they can call us in when it's close to our turn until we had already been waiting for an hour. Then when I heard about that, I asked for a new wait time because it was past due from what they origionally told me.
They said 20-30 min.... I asked if they could call me when it's closer and they said no, I had to wait in the front cause it was past closing time. But people were still coming in from phone calls past closing time...
I wasn't happy about all of that tbh, but when I finally got to the awesome and sweet piercing professional Kat she made up for all that wait. She was kind, professional, and clean. She cared about my pain, cleanliness, and healing process.
Jessica Steen
I went to KOI for a helix cartilage piercing and two dermal anchorings under my collar bone. I've had my cartilage pierced at Claire's and ICE before and after a week of pain, they both came out. It was awful. I did some reading up and saw that KOI had wonderful reviews. We drove from Wyoming to Utah to get my piercings done. We got to the shop at noon on a Saturday and were the second in line. We got in the store and I was helped right away with what I wanted done, shown the jewelry and had my paperwork done quickly. Frank called me back about 10 minutes later. He was very thorough and answered all of my questions. He made sure I was happy with where the piercings would be placed before starting anything. He told me everything he was going to do and made sure I was breathing deep and calmed my nerves.
The dermals required some deep breathing, but turned out so cute!!!! I wish I would have done them sooner. The ear didn't even hurt. The post care instructions were very clear and easy. Don't waste your time anywhere else but here!! Reasonably priced and friendly staff!! It's evening and the piercings haven't given me any pain!!!! Love it!!!
Reisha Akers
This is "the place" I was recommended to go for piercing & jewelry and I have to agree. Staff was great, selection amazing. Word of warning: dont expect a quick trip. It was a "slow" night according to staff and had to wait an hour. It does give time to browse for your jewelry choice, but plan accordingly.
Rachel Russell
I had the best experience at koi than I have ever had at a shop. I got my first dermals with Patrick and he was awesome! Made jokes to make me comfortable and told me what he was doing the whole time so I knew what was going on. He was great and my piercings look amazing. I went in to get one redone and had Deej help me that day, he is also very helpful. He was very kind and willing to help with my problem and did my dermal so perfect!
I won't go anywhere else to get piercings anymore!
Cleanest shop I've been too with awesome prices also. People say they are expensive but I paid more at other shops for half the quality. You really get what you pay for at koi. My mom actually enjoyed her experience being with her child getting pierced and plans to bring my sister when she gets a little older. Awesome. I recommend this place to everyone who asks!
Tier & Anthony Turnbull
I could not have better things to say about this place! Cat took such good care of me. She is a perfectionist, gentle, extremely knowledgeable and very professional. I LOVE the way my piercings turned out. Thanks guys!
Melissa Cherrington
I got the daith piercing done 3 weeks ago. I was beyond nervous but DJ the piercer was amazing, friendly and totally put me at ease. I have only had one headach since and it didn't last as long.I love this place. I Will recommend them to everyone!! I am definitely going to bring my girls when they turn 8 to get their ears pierced.
Ryan Keller
Staff was great and friendly 4 stars is only because they were pretty limited on ear rings. The first option my daughter picked out they didn't have in stock. Only recommendation would be to only show options you have available. Will definitely go back though for the great service
Aubrey Markham
I came here to get my daith pierced for migraines. It was a great experience! We had a long wait (because it was a Friday evening) but we were able to go wander around and they called us when it was time. Very sanitary and professional! It also hurt way less than the semi-permanent ones I've had done by an acupuncturist.
Sandy Dutson
I took my daughter here to get her daith pierced in both ears. First, there is not much parking at all. We ended up parking up the road and making the short walk to the studio. Not a big deal but can be kind of frustrating if you can't find a spot to park. Possibly getting there early and before they open may make finding a spot so much easier.
We got there 30 minutes after they opened and the line was to the door! They are a walk in only studio and they seem to be a popular one too. The line never went down the whole time we were there. They were always lined up to the door. I would suggest getting there 15-30 minutes before they open and waiting if you're pressed for time that way you will be first and can possibly get in and out fast.
The store was clean and they had jewelry displayed in cabinets. When we got to the counter the girl who helped us was friendly and had us pick out jewelry for my daughters piercings. She showed us a few options that ranged from $20-$230. After picking out the jewelry she gave us some paperwork to fill out and told us the wait was gonna be 30-45 minutes. I've waited longer at a restaurant for a table so no big deal. The waiting area is quite small with enough seating for maybe 7 people. A lot of people had to stand and wait. Things seemed to move somewhat quickly though so seats were always opening up. They were accurate on estimating our waiting time and it went by quickly.
Our piercer came out and took us back to a clean and organized semi private room. She was friendly, soft spoken and made us feel comfortable. She had my daughter lie down and began going to work. She cleaned the area, marked it, told my daughter to breathe in and then poke! Done. I would guess for her to do both ears it took a total of one to two minutes. I was impressed! My daughter told me it didn't even hurt. Not at all what we were expecting after watching YouTube videos of people getting this piercing. She then went over the aftercare with us, asked if we had any questions and then walked us up front to pay.
It has only been 24 hours since my daughter got the piercing but she has had no issue with it at all so far. I am very pleased with our experience at Koi and would take my daughter back again for the other piercings she is wanting.

The best in Utah! I've had all of my 12+ piercings done at koi. They are the best piercing studio in Utah bar none. Very clean and helpful. They will always sanitize jewelry for you if you have them put it in. They are very strict about cleaniness as well they should be. Safety is their number one concern. Overall they do an amazing job and there is a reason i keep going back. DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE!
Crystal Valdez
I was recommended to KOI by a friend of mine. I went in and had a nose piercing done by Frank. The most relaxing, laid back experience ever. This business is super clean, professional and very experienced in what they do. I definitely recommend and will always recommend this business to others.

Went in to get my nipples pierced and Patrick was very helpful he took time and did what he thought would be best for me and explained what he was doing and even helped out my husband. The front staff was very friendly towards me and the place was super clean. The line was long but well worth it for me. Won't be going to aces ever again.
Thank you Koi
Alex Clawson
Got my tongue pierced there today. The front staff were nice and friendly and had tons of piercings themselves so I felt like they knew what was up. My piercer was DJ. He was very nice and talked me through it and answered all of my questions. Didn't feel a thing when he put the needle in. Gave me his card with a number I can contact him with if I have any questions or if my tongue starts to have any problems. So far so good. I will update this review as necessary but I hope I won't need to. Thank you DJ and Koi!!!
