Update 2023-12-09: I already gave 5 stars but I feel the need to update my review. I have been to this shop on three separate occasions and have been pierced by all three (Matt, Cameron, & Matt L.). Each one of them are so kind, friendly and gentle- I honestly just want more piercings to go and see them. If you’re looking for a shop that feels comfortable/safe/clean/personable and has a beautiful selection of jewelry to choose from - PLEASE head to Freyja. Beyond content with my all of my experiences at their shop. They. Are. Amazing. I am having a hard time to put into words how fantastic this shop is. Matt & staff made my brother, sister-in-law and I feel very comfortable and assured that we were in good hands. Firstly, the shop is beautiful and so clean! There are many jewelry options to look at, all of which are something to admire. I especially appreciated how up-front they were about costs and did not make me feel like we needed to get pierced with the most expensive jewelry. Once we were ready, he explained the entire process before anything happened, sterilized all the equipment in front of us and made sure that all of our questions/concerns were taken care of and that we understood our after-care. I cannot recommend Matt or the shop enough.

My favorite piercing place of all time!! The piercers are so knowledgeable and truly do work with you to curate an amazing look. It doesn't matter if you have no piercings or a whole bunch already. The jewelry is gorgeous and of incredible quality. I've been going here for years and will only go here! Highly recommend!

Freyja is a wonderful shop! I have frequented the shop quite a few times over the years; before the pandemic to purchase a BVLA piece to replace a piece of jewelry in my nose, during the pandemic to repierce my nostril with a new BVLA piece, and recently for my septum piercing. The shop owners, Matt and Jessica, are very knowledgeable and passionate about their work. I had the pleasure of being pierced by Cameron, who shared (upon asking) that he was well-versed in the septum piercing arena. He made the process smooth, painless and quick. Within seconds an exquisite BVLA piece was placed in my septum for the world to adore. In addition to quality customer service, the jewelry selection is certainly top tier. Thank you Cameron, Jessica and Matt for a great piecing experience! I highly recommend Freyja for your piercing needs!

For my daughter’s 16th birthday we got our noses pierced. The shop was clean and inviting. Cameron our body piercer was awesome, kind and very informative about the entire process. He helped us pick jewelry that would work best and fully explained aftercare instructions. We were so nervous about the pain, but Cameron was super quick we didn’t have time to react. It was a great experience and I recommend them to anyone looking for a good piercing shop.

I am a long time client of Matt's and have always had a good experience. Recently I tried a place a little more local to me and my piercing became angry and inflamed due to many reasons, one of which was using the wrong type of jewelry for the anatomy of the location of my piercing. Matt not only helped me recover the piercing but continued to aid in the healing process so that I would not lose the piercing. His knowledge and professionalism is worth the trek from my location and it would be worth yours, too.

Excellent, amazing, awesome. I made an appointment to have my face dermal removed. I had called a couple of places, but most places didn’t removal dermals, I couldn’t get an appointment, or had bad reviews. Alli greated me, I filed out the consent form, and Matt took me back for my appointment. First thing I noticed was how perfectly clean, and sterile the shop is. Perfectly clean. The removal was quick and easy, and did not hurt one bit. Literally took about 1-2 minutes and the dermal was out, with no problem. I am super happy, and very impressed with the shop, and Matt, and Alli (sorry Alli if I am spelling your name incorrectly.) Highly recommended. Thank you!!

I visited Freyja for the first time today for a helix piercing after doing some extensive research for a piercing shop that does not utilize piercing guns. The only thing I regret is not finding Freyja sooner. This place is super inviting and extremely clean. I worked with Cameron today, who was incredibly professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. He explained everything to me. Cameron was honest in saying he could attempt to reopen an old piercing instead of giving me a new one. Someone mentioned pricing in their review. The jewelry is on the pricier side, but I understood that going into it (look at their website so much good information is on there and they are upfront about pricing). I was prepared to invest in jewelry that was good quality instead of jewelry made out of cheap materials. I will definitely be coming back for additional piercings in the future and look forward to purchasing new jewelry for my piercing.

Far and above my best piercing experience. After some past experiences, I only go to APP piercers, which is how I found Freyja. It’s not too far from DC and Northern Virginia, and well worth the trip for the experience! Best actual piercing, follow-up, care support, and jewelry change. Don’t hesitate to come here for a piercing, advice in existing piercing, and/or jewelry. This team is amazing and their shop is top notch.

I just went yesterday for nipple piercings and Cameron was excellent. I was nervous but Cameron quickly made me feel comfortable and explained everything clearly to me beforehand. I would definitely recommend Freyja Piercing to anyone.

The shop was clean and welcoming. They were prompt at our appointment time. My teen got their nostril pierced by Cameron. He was so helpful! He put my child at ease and made them much more comfortable with the process. We would recommend Freyja to anyone!

I've had a couple piercings done at Freyja and each time was a wonderful experience. The first time was done by Matt B. the owner for my second lobes and it was an incredibly smooth process. He helped me pick out jewelry, explained every step of the piercing process, and answered every question I had. This most recent time my septum piercing was done by Matt L. Matt L made sure the septum piercing would work for me anatomically, he helped me pick out jewelry, and made sure to explain every step of the process. I'm not gonna lie, this one did hurt but Matt L made sure I was okay throughout the process. I'm so happy with all my piercings and would highly recommend anyone go to Freyja!

I had many piercings done at Frejya. The studio was always very clean, my appointments started on time, the staff was very friendly, and my piercings were done well. I was a satisfied customer. I have debated for almost two years about leaving this review because I had one bad experience. Back in 2021, I ordered a very, very expensive piece of jewelry that was supposed to be designed to match other jewelry I already owned, and was wearing when I came for my last appointment. When I arrived to have the new piece placed (I couldn't do it myself), I was strongly encouraged to not see the jewelry before it was placed but to wait and see it after it was put in place in my ear, so I could, "really appreciate it." At the time, I didn't see any issue with that. Unfortunately, once I was wearing the jewelry (and thusly could not return it) I was given a mirror to see how it looked. It was only at this time I discovered the jewelry was not as I had ordered it and it did not match my existing jewelry. It was very disappointing and I felt deceived. Maybe it was intentional, maybe it wasn't. Either way, I had to pay hundreds of dollars for something that was not what I wanted and since I was already wearing it, I no longer had the opportunity to say so. Needless to say, I quietly paid my bill, left, and haven't returned. Edit 1/1/2023 Matt, Thanks for your reply. I want everyone reading these reviews to know how much I appreciate your willingness to rectify my situation. I came to the shop today and hopefully everything will work out. I’ve updated my 4 stars to 5.

After my last few piercings I made sure to look into the reviews to make sure everything was consistent in quality of care, and all the good reviews are right. They were incredibly professional and kind and gave great aftercare instructions. They also were very understanding of my budget and I never felt rushed or pressured to do anything. I have really bad anxiety and was pretty nervous throughout the whole appointment and they were nothing but kind and supportive. They were incredible and I will not be needing to go to a different piercer anytime soon. I got my septum pierced and the double lip studs, my pierced was sure to make it even and confirmed the position of both piercings with me (they look a bit crooked because of the swelling and how I couldn’t stop smiling afterwards).
