I really liked working with Star. I feel like she understood what I was going for right away and gave it to me, her experience shows. I have a "symmetry" thing going on (it's not just a phase!!!) And had my nose double pierced by Star. I have 'symettrical' helixes and came into it knowing nothing is perfect but I do feel like Star got close to perfect, I like that she measured the area and then gave consideration to the anatomy of my nose, and then finally the visual illusion of symmetry. As it heals I love it more. I have healed Helixes and I've done some bad things (piercing guns, rings on fresh piercings) but skill and material wise, NineMoons definitely delivered. They gave attention to the size of the backing needed and they offered me realistic alternatives to your everyday stud, I came in not wanting the hammered disc's, and I left with them!! So cute. Its healing amazingly and it really is worth it to have quality jewelry in them for that peace of mind and comfort.

Kellzzz Kellzz here but everyone calls me “Ty”I’ve been on my piercing journey for almost two years. I have several tribal ethnic cultures blended in my heritage,piercing for me is a way to connect with my ancestors.I have nine facial piercings honoring my nine cousins who passed from Covid so I’m very selective on who works on me,actually I call my piercings “Adornments”.My right nostril had a large stainless steel bead on it and I wanted to switch and downsize and wasn’t sure what I wanted until I met Starr.Her energy and authenticity were so genuine,she took one look and suggested I go with a white gold flat mirror polished kite and just like that I knew she was perfect for the next phases of my journey.With understanding,sincerity and caring about me as a customer but also the insight to know professionally what would be right for me she switched out the bead that looked like I was balancing a small planet on my nostril😅 to this amazing Kite and within 20 minutes of leaving the studio I haven’t stopped getting compliments!!Starr thank you sooo much!!!!Don’t hesitate for a moment,go toNINE MOONS!!!!

Starr is a lovely person. She's very honest if your anatomy isn't right for a piercing. She will tell you instead of doing the piercing and just take your money. I appreciate that.Johnny is great and a perfectionist. Very easy going. Love them both

I’m a licensed piercer in Virginia and this shop is absolutely beautiful and incredibly clean. Sophie did a downsize for me today and was very kind, efficient, and careful. Their bedside manner was perfect and the jewelry selection is absolutely stunning! Thanks again Sophie for your help today 🙂

Their broadway location is so calm and peaceful! I was nervous until I walked in the studio. I got my nipple pierced by Casey. I saw she loved doing the nipple piercing so I knew I had to go with her. She was outstanding in her professionalism and efficiency. My experience was quick, clean, and informative. I went back for my 4 week checkup and again had an exceptional experience. If ur nervous or don’t know the best place to go in nyc.. go to nine moons! U won’t regret it

I came here a few times. They have really pretty jewelry and it’s quality, I have sensitive ears and the metal they use is the best material. The service is also really great. Every time I come everyone is so friendly. The piercer I’ve used is Casey, she is AMAZING. I’m always nervous about the pain and every single time she is so gentle I’m always surprised I never feel anything. She’s also so helpful and friendly she always makes me feel comfortable.

they were super nice and honest about whether my friend had the right anatomy for her piercing, their prices are good also, and the piercer was very thorough about placement and explaining how to care for the piercing. want to go back and get one for myself tbh

Casey Nichols did a fantastic job with my first time earlobe piercings! I was very needle phobic, and Casey was completely empathetic and made the entire process feel comfortable, safe, and nearly painless. I actually had a really fun time at the appointment! I couldn't be happier with the results and can't recommend Casey highly enough. I'm already thinking about the next piercings I want to have with Casey in the future. So happy I found her and Nine Moons! 10/10!! 🙂

I went there to get my helix jewelry switched and it was an excellent experience. The piercer really took the time to ask what I was looking for. After she sterilized everything she found out which length the bar needed to be and always explained everything she did. She was also super gentle ! She told me my irritation bump was likely due to the bar that I had which was super long (I had never downsized it) and she was right : it's now a week later and my bump is almost gone. I'm happy with my new high quality jewelry and my experience there. Worth every cent.

I had a great experience at Nine Moons. The atmosphere is really positive and relaxed, which put me at ease. The staff were friendly and helpful with choosing jewelry. I got forward helix piercings with Sophie and she was amazing! She was patient and very helpful with providing advice. I felt like she really wanted me to love the end result and I absolutely do! She was also gentle and very communicative during the actual piercing process. I hope to get another piercing at Nine Moons when I’m back in NY!

My experience was nothing below exceptional. Sophie performed Nipple piercings for me, nothing short the definition of a professional. She helped me feel comfortable, and conversed with me which kept my mind off the procedure. When we entered the room she thoroughly washed her hands and started preparing the jewelry for sterilization. Then she prepped the area for piercing by cleaning and marking. The marks were perfect. The piercing process had begun and the reality set in. Even here I felt confident that Sophie would make the piercing just as smooth. She began piercing and asked me to breathe, at this point it was done. The piercing was a mild pinch and sliding the barbell in was just as easy. What an incredible experience. I will absolutely return to Nine Moons to see Sophie. Thank you so muchTill next time!!

OK WHOA. Somehow I neglected to write a review of Nine Moons back in 2018 and 2021 when I got such awesome piercings here. Embarrassing! Let me try to remedy that now: In 2018 I realized a long-cherished dream of getting my nipples pierced by Starr, who is such a professional declaration of excellence, skill, gentleness, and awareness. I felt as though my mind, spirit, and body had been altered for the better -- five years later I still adore these rings. Starr was helpful in every way, but it was the swift and savory piercing that I loved most. Those endorphins...FF to '21, midst-of-pandemic and I needed something to keep my brain in place and sane. Casey advised me that a bridge piercing probably wouldn't be optimal, as I wear glasses, but she enthusiastically endorsed my second choice, and pierced my conch with grace and skill. While it has taken its time healing, threadless jewelry has made a difference. I love both piercings, and only regret that I have but one body to decorate...

I just had ear piercings done here by Starr and it was a terrific experience! She was very patient with me and Stacy a perfect balance between being appropriately caring without babying me totally. Piercings came out nice! *****

Absolute best place to get pierced in NYC! Starr is so kind, patient and talented at what she does and the entire team is warm and professional. I’ve been pierced here multiple times and have only had wonderful experiences - highly recommend to anyone looking for high quality piercings in a super comfortable environment 🙂

I had an appointment with another highly recommended piercing shop. The staff was rude and dismissive so I decided not to stay.After a quick search, I found Nine Moons Piercing. From the very beginning, I was made to feel welcome and appreciated as a client. Not as a bother. They were incredibly kind and after explaining the horrible treatment I had just received and that I was leaving NY the next day, they were able to fit me in later that evening.Johnny Pearse and the entire staff were exceptional. He took the time to help me find a stud that would look amazing. He did not disappoint. He was charismatic and put me at ease immediately. The procedure was quick and practically painless! I am thrilled with the placement and the jewelry.I highly recommend them without a moment's hesitation. The entire experience was top notch!

I didn’t get a piercing here BUT the customer service from Starr & the front desk women (gosh I forgot her name!!) was above and beyond. I had my nipples out ready to get them pierced 😂 but discovered it wasn’t the right time (getting a breast augmentation!)Starr was super nice, no awkward silence or rush or any sense of annoyance from Starr.I recommend this place based on the customer service and cleanliness.…I’ll be back ♥️

I got my bridge piercing done by Casey and she did an amazing job. She was extremely thorough, made sure it's exactly where I wanted and made me feel safe/comfortable. The environment is extremely sanitary and well taken care of.

I wandered in to see what jewelry they had and immediately felt comfortable and eager to get work done just from the vibe of the space. I'm so glad I was able to make an appointment for the same day. The quality of their services was clear instantly, and the jewelry they have available is beautiful and elegant. Ichigo was so kind and helpful with selecting jewelry and my piercer, Johnny, was extremely thorough, advocated for me to get what I wanted while educating me about location and healing, and was really nice! Thank you so much and I'm so glad I stopped by! I'm sure I will be making more appointments in the future 🙂

I am writing this review one week after my partner and I both got Prince Albert genital piercings.We chose Nine Moons after multiple friends recommended them, specifically Starr and Johnny. We ended up with Casey and Johnny due to having the same times available and the entire experience was fantastic. Johnny was a perfect mixture of professional and chill explaining his process and why while answering questions based off my research. My partner said Casey was also great and super knowledgable when helping him find a piece that would fit him properly.The spaces were spotless clean and a great atmosphere all around. The front desk, I'm sorry I forgot their name but they had on the most killer bodice, was super cool, super professional, set up our check up appointments and worked with our piercers to give great aftercare tips.A couple days into aftercare I had a question, so I called up the shop and got an answering machine that said, paraphrasing "we will respond faster to email", so I emailed them and had a response within 20 minutes with the question answered and more. I cannot recommend them enough and will be returning to get my nipples done in the future. Well earned 5/5 stars.

I have gotten two piercings now from Nine Moons and both experiences have been incredible! Sophie did my septum today and Johnny did my nostril a month ago. Seriously the easiest piercings I have ever gotten and I was so nervous for no reason! They talked me through every step, made sure I was comfortable before proceeding with the piercing, and fit them to my face exactly for best healing/best look. Overall really stoked that I got pierced by these amazing professionals!! I will be recommending them forever and ever

About a month ago I went in for a nostril piercing with Johnny. It was my first major facial piercing and I was super nervous. Right upon entry I was met with a very nice employee who helped me pick jewelry and very kindly explained price points etc. Right away at my appointment, Johnny put me at ease and explained step-by-step the procedure. As well as aftercare instructions. I also appreciated the feedback given about piercing placement as well. It could not have helped more. I truly am glad the process wasn’t as bad as I had feared and he was so thoughtful and caring throughout-it was like being with a friend. Major positive points because I’m so glad at the cleanliness of the studio and the fact sterile equipment was used. Recently I went in for a downsize and was met with the same amount of friendliness, I couldn’t have been happier. Sometimes tattoo and piercing studios can feel intimidating and I thoroughly appreciate my interactions not only with Johnny but also in passing with other staff as well. Thank you guys!! I will most definitely be coming back when I’m ready for another piercing.Keep in mind they are by appointment only!

I went in for an emergency visit regarding swelling around my week-old nose piercing (piercing was not done at Nine Moons but at another studio) and Johnny was so incredibly kind and gentle changing out my backing. He gave great advice regarding aftercare and made me feel safe and at ease. Thank you so much Johnny! I'm looking forward to a followup visit with you in a couple of week 🙂

Casey is the absolute best in the game!!! I’ve never received the respect and education about piercings which Casey provided and I’m so grateful for that! Casey and Ichigo were incredibly kind and very patient our whole apt as we were deciding on the piercing placement and what jewelry to get. I’m SO obsessed with my new piercings and jewelry. I cannot express my gratitude to Casey and Ichigo for the whole experience!!I will never get pierced anywhere else!!! I’m hooked to Nine Moons and WILL BE BACK!!

I don’t often write reviews, but my experience at Nine Moons certainly deserves one. I had my first ever cartilage piercings done, the tragus and helix, and I had such an amazing experience. Johnny did my piercings and he was absolutely wonderful. He was professional, reassuring, and made the appointment so much fun! I also had my downsizing/ checkup appointment with Starr. Everything is healing beautifully and she gave me some more pointers as they continue to heal. The jewelry selection is stunning and the stylists are super helpful. If you’re looking for a new piercing or even just some new beautiful jewelry pieces, I would highly recommend them!

Johnny Pearce was amazing! He was patient, talked through all my options, and gave honest opinions on what could and couldn’t be done. Everything was so clean and sanitized and they even used single use surgical marking pens to mark the piercing. I have a couple ear piercings and this one piercing I got here from Johnny is the only one that hasn’t had any complications with healing.

I had two earrings (daith and helix) removed before I went into surgery. I came into Nine Moons 6 days after and they were able to reshape and reinsert my jewelry for just $15. The studio was spacious and very nice. Casey was great! Will be back if I decide to get any new piercings.
