    JD was absolutely amazing, he put me at ease and was so thoughtful and friendly during the process. All 3 of my visits were amazing and all of the staff wonderful. Here I am 8 piercings later, JD did all of the upper 8 piercings perfectly.

    Edited: The first piercing was $180 and way too small in length and was very uncomfortable for the swelling which essentially baited for more money by making me come back so they can charge me another $100 to put in a longer mm rod. No thank you. Then he had me laying down to do the piercing and I was like, "okay this is weird but whatever" and the piercing was off relative to the other one. I'm thinking "okay maybe after swelling goes down, it'll look better" ... It did not. Later, my piercing hurt so much and was so swollen that I HAD TO TAKE IT OUT MYSELF AND PUT A DIFFERENT ROD IN. Like, why not put in a rod that's already long enough? And like I said before, they intentionally put in a rod that was too short to begin with so that you'll have to come back to pay to get a longer rod! I've never had that happen at any of the other piercing shops I've been to! Rip off! Then, the piercer kept his face covered and was weird about me seeing his face after the initial piercing, at first I thought it was no big deal but after going through all the stress of having too small of a rod to make up for swelling and having to pay a BUNCH of money for a poopy piercing... I think it was really suspicious. I feel like the whole thing was just a way to get as much money out of the customer as possible. No thank you. But besides that, there was a bunch of different opals and selections to choose from and the from desk lady was helpful and informative.

    I feel the need to share the absolutely WONDERFUL experience that I had here! I have gotten PAST piercings done at the other location, so I felt secure going to this one. These guys were so amazing. Polite, professional, knowledgeable, personable, and just nice. I felt comfortable as soon as I walked in. I was getting old jewelry taken OUT, and new jewelry put IN. I was treated so well. I really appreciated it. I will be back!

    Best experiences when I come to HTC. The people that work here are very passionate about their work. They are all experts at what they do and I would take a bullet for this shop! Good jewelry selection 10/10

    I went yesterday to get a vertical labret it’s been a long time since I got a piercing and I wanted to go to a place that specializes in it. Well $190 later the next day(today) it falls out. I call panicked and they absolutely refuse to see me. I had to frantically call around until I found a place ACE that I’ve been to once before. They said late to help me fix the piercing there they tell me HTC charged me DOUBLE what the piercing is worth. They only charge $80 at ACE while HTC charged me $148 just for the piercing and then REFUSED to take me in to fix the fact they didn’t tighten it enough. Piercing fans beware this place will rip you off, tell you to call if you have problems and then when you do refuse service.

    I totally convinced my awesome wife to get her septum pierced. So glad we went to HTC to get this done. Torin was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Above all else he was professional and took great care in his craft. We will return and enthusiasticly recommend HTC to the masses🤙

    10000% recommend coming here for your piercing needs. I’ve been coming here for over 10 years and won’t go anywhere else for a piercing. Every single time I come, every person is so friendly and welcoming. The studio is so clean and the team is so knowledgeable which is exactly what you want in a piercing studio. JD is an amazing piercer and makes you feel so comfortable the whole time. If you’re thinking about getting pierced, come here. You won’t regret it!

    Despite the fact that I was a walk in, service was quick and easy. Their jewelry selection is extensive, varied and gorgeous. The guy at the counter was approachable and patient while answering my questions about alternative forms of jewelry for my piercings. Total sweetheart for real. Honestly it's a fantastic place to go and I really recommend it to anyone!! I only kept it at 4 stars because the girl answering phones was pretty snarky, you're not allowed to bring your own jewelry despite the fact that it's easy to sterilize it, and this is comparatively expensive to other piercing shops in Phoenix.

    Just left with my 7yr old daughter. The environment, clean, warm cozy and friendly atmosphere. Cola, did a great job making sure my daughter felt comfortable and respected! I forgot the other individual's name, however he was also amazing. Both techs were great at welcoming my daughter and making her feel comfortable! They even answered questions I had about my piercings, that were done elsewhere! We will be back!

    They are the best !!! I was so nervous they calmed me down. The piercer by the name NYX was gentle and informative. He walked me through step by step. The establishment was clean and they had a really nice display of piercing jewelry. Thank you so much for making this experience a good one !!!!

    You can not go wrong with the place. The staff is AMAZING! Nicola is the nicest, funniest, most knowledgeable person when you are getting a piercing from her. She made my son feel so comfortable when he got his nose piercing. Thank you to all the staff!

    Larisa the manager is extremely friendly and helpful. She was happy to assist me with choosing jewelry. JD the piercer installed them for me and he did an efficient and excellent job. Very little pain. He also had a great attitude and we had a chill conversation. The shop was very clean and offered quality jewelry. You should expect those things from a piercing shop and they delivered :) They’re APP certified for a reason! A++++

    Took my 9-year-old daughter here today to get her ears pierced and it was the best decision, and a great experience. So glad we didn’t go to the mall. The studio was spotless, the gentleman at the counter was so friendly, and our piercer, Nicola, was just phenomenal. My daughter was treated with respect and patience and had complete autonomy over her choices. She loved picking out her jewelry and gave Nicola a big hug when we left. Can’t recommend this place enough!

    I went in to get my nostril pierced and Nick was just awesome. He had a great personality, talked me through it, gentle touch (as much as one can be ) walked me through the whole process. Replaced old jewelry for my septum too. Almost painless I couldn’t believe it! He was wonderful! Looking forward to going back next time it need another nose piercing!

    This is the ONLY place I've gotten my piercings for the past seven or eight years. Nicola is the sweetest, kindest, most considerate human and will do damn near anything she can to make you feel more comfortable if you need it. Every single person that works in this shop is so utterly understanding and personable. It's such a breath of fresh air to be able to walk into a business establishment and feel understood instead of simply preyed upon for my money. As long as these folks are here doing what they're doing, I'll be coming back to let them stab me! 🤣😁

    Experience the best bellybutton piercing at HTC Studios - Phoenix North! Jon at the front desk was amazing - knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure a fantastic experience. With a wide selection of high-quality jewelry and strict adherence to sanitary practices, this APP-certified studio has it all. (“APP”: Association of Professional Piercers) JD, with over 20 years of experience, made the piercing quick and easy. With their expertise, I'm confident in my bellybutton's perfect closure and future jewelry options. Don't settle for less - trust the experts at HTC Studios for a one-and-done, issue-free experience. I left extremely happy with the stunning results. I highly recommended them for a truly enjoyable and professional piercing experience. A must-visit for anyone seeking an enjoyable and safe piercing journey! I will refer anyone I know looking to have a piercing done to these guys with the confidence knowing that they will get the job done professionally and safely! Thank you again - I love it!!!

    I have gotten my septum, both nostrils and my nipples pierced here. I will never go anywhere else. Just the energy everyone that works there has is enough for me. It is pricey, but you’re definitely getting what you pay for….perfect piercings quality jewelry and an amazingly calm experience.

  • 5/5 Betheny J. 8 months ago on Google
    Love, love, love. Every piercing I have had done has healed well and I was treated respectfully and made to feel comfortable. I've gone to other piercing studios and have had issues with the placement, their piercing gear coming undone repeatedly, and the experience was very uncomfortable because it was not private and there was chaos at the location. Spend the extra $$ and save yourself $, time, and energy in the long run.

    Nicola was the best. Loved my septum piercing. Just what my face needed: A hole in it 😁 The studio is clean and not crowded. Jewelry selection is just all right and super SUPER expensive. The cheapest smallest earring was $80‼️In my opinion: it's way too expensive on top of the service. They need to offer some price break or discount or frequent punch card or some incentive to buy the jewelery. JMO. Service is A1 and security is on site. I would say make an appointment and be prepared to spend at least $400 for the service and jewelery which you have to purchase from them. Period. AT LEAST. I was a little shocked at the price 👀 However, I am so pleased with my piercing and I definitely will go back in a few months. It is worth it and you get what you pay for.

    Piercer made me super comfortable and they were awesome. They were able to joke with me and made the whole process comfortable. The receptionist was awesome. You can tell she knows her stuff. Pretty pricey but a great place.

  • 5/5 Trish W. 8 months ago on Google
    Even though I live in the far East valley, I drive to this location for the amazing staff. Nicola has such an incredible soul and takes the time to explain what she's doing before she does it. I trust her to pierce my teenage daughter and value her whole person approach. Thank you Nicola!

  • 5/5 catherine c. 10 months ago on Google
    I have gotten 7 piercings here and they have all healed perfect. All three of the piercers are so nice and make you feel very safe. If you have any problems they will take care of it, I got my double lobes pierced somewhere else and those got infected so I came here and they told me how to heal it and then once it was healed they pierced over the scar tissue carefully. They are truly wonderful, a bit pricey but definitely worth it!!! I don’t think i’ll go anywhere else.

    We were a "walk in" to the HTC studios for my daughters nose piercing. We were greeted promptly and given a digital consent form to fill out. We did not have to wait long before she was brought into the back and prepped by the assistant. The whole process was very methodical and efficient. When Blake came in to do the piercing he was very friendly and easy to talk to, which was nice for my daughter who was a bit nervous. The piercing was quick and we were given good instructions on aftercare and the critical timelines for getting the piercing downsized. We are not residents to the Phoenix area and Blake knew of a local shop in Colorado that would be able to help us at the 6 week mark. Overall our experience was excellent and I would recommend anyone wanting a piercing to hit these guys and gals up!

  • 5/5 Aaron K. 10 months ago on Google
    Very clean, extremely nice, supportive staff. The girl at the front desk was super nice and helpful. The piercer, JD, was amazing and talked through each step (we had multiple people that day). He answered all our questions, made sure we were comfortable before starting, and provided a safe space for our visit.

    I was greeted by Larisa at the door. I had a fantastic experience. She was patient, precise, and extremely helpful during the process. I explained to her I had a bad nickel allergy. Larisa showed me the options of jeweled implant grade titanium studs for my tragus piercing as well as my navel piercing. She was able to anodize the titanium to perfection so that it resembled a gold color. She did a beautiful job with me and the other customers. I would highly recommend, especially if you have high expectations and are particular when it comes to body jewelry.

    Great people here. Very helpful when I needed to replace a lost Piercing, even helped me make sure it was properly sized to my needs. The jewelry is also top notch. Very good quality and definitely worth spending the extra couple of dollars

  • 5/5 Lakaija O. 1 year ago on Google
    They are always so nice! Their aftercare products work amazingly! I have very sensitive skin and even most product's that places give for sensitive skin still breaks my skin out, but I have not had any problems with their products what so ever. I have gotten 2 different types of piercings here and if I ever need anymore, I know where I'm going!

  • 5/5 Lea 1 year ago on Google
    JD was amazing! He made me feel super safe when I was getting pierced (I was feeling super nervous about the pain since it was a particularly sensitive area). Larissa from the front desk was even kind enough to hold my hand through it, which was incredibly sweet and calming. Both JD and Larissa were kind, professional and made me feel really comfortable and safe. The whole experience felt super good, nothing but great vibes. Will definitely be back for more!!

  • 5/5 Samantha S. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing place to get pierced! All the staff was warm and welcoming. I was pierced by Nicola and I cannot recommend her enough! She is the kindest, warmest person I have ever met. She did my eyebrow and Medusa and she was so quick and gentle. I will definitely only be coming here for myself and my daughter. 🖤
