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.

I have been wanting a rook piercing for YEARS! I did a ton of research and wanted it to be done at Nine Moons.Casey was my piercer. She was SO SWEET! I loved working with her. She made me feel calm and answered all my questions. She also helped guide my ear curation on my other ear. My rook piercing looks amazing and she helped switch out my conch (pierced elsewhere) to a new jewelry. The ladies at the front were so helpful in helping me select jewelry. They also explained how to order custom BVLA pieces. I can’t wait to come back for more!!

I will never go anywhere else in the city for piercings. Every single person I’ve interacted with at Nine Moons has been outstanding, including their guest piercers. Top-notch customer service and gorgeous jewelry selection.

I almost never write reviews because so few places deserve superlative comments, but Nine Moons Piercing is one of them. Every person who works here is friendly, kind, and genuinely caring. I've been pierced by Johnny and Starr, both of whom are fastidious about hygiene and sterilizing the jewelry properly. They are APP certified, which is important because the NY department of health has appallingly gross standards, but this place would pass a white-glove test. I've had four piercings done here, 3 by Johnny (flat, conch, nose) and one by Starr (tragus), and they were so quick that it was nearly painless (seriously). They talk you through the process so you feel super comfortable. Plus, the jewelry selection is beautiful - it's all BVLA, and there is a wide variety of items in white, rose, and (my fav) yellow gold. Naomi will help you pick out pieces that suit your taste and style, and that are also appropriate for what you want to get pierced. She will also work with you to design bespoke jewelry. I'd also like to add that if one of the piercers thinks that your anatomy isn't right for a particular piercing, they won't do it--something that I appreciate, because it makes your life easier, even if you're disappointed in the moment.

The original place I went to was nice at first, but after I came here I could see the difference. When doing my research, I originally wanted to go here for my piercings but my friend wanted a tattoo as well so we went to another spot. (They do tattoos as well, I didn't know) This place has fine jewelry which explains why they're prices are so high! I only spoke with a few people, but everyone seemed professional. They checked and cleaned my piercings and my ear is doing so much better! No pain at all now! As soon as these two heal, I'll save up to go here💕

Went in for a consult with Starr and left with a dream piercing. She really put me quickly at ease and talked me through everything so thoroughly and kindly, I had to go for it there and then. It was without a doubt the easiest piercing I’ve ever had. Recommend without hesitation.

This is honestly one of the best piercing shops I’ve been to. Everyone here is exceptional, so warm and welcoming, and really put love and care into what they do. I’ve gotten my flat pierced by Casey, conch and forward helix by Starr, who has also been helping me stretch my lobes, had a jewelry assistance for my nostril with Johnny, and collaborated with Naomi on a few custom jewelry pieces. My experience with each and every one of you has been absolutely amazing and thank you all for everything!! I would recommend anyone looking to get pierced to go here, you will not regret it!

I didn't actually get anything done but I appreciate the interaction that I had. I wanted an industrial piercing but was told that I couldn't bc of the shape of my ear and the piercer, Casey, showed me what was an issue and offered alternatives.I was bummed, but I value an expert opinion
