I’ve gotten multiple piercings here. Nic and Sam are both amazing. The entire staff are thoughtful and considerate in every way. When I had an old piercing that didn’t require a new hole, they opened it for me without charge. And they offer follow up appointments for free and contact info for any questions. The jewelry is top quality, which is especially important for my metal allergies. I recommend them constantly. Friends rave about their tattoos as well.

Sam was soooo friendly and knowledgeable. They helped me pick out my jewelry and walked me through the whole process. It was a quick, easy, and comfortable process. I'll definitely be back for my next piercing needs.

I would highly recommend Dogstar for piercings! My experience was for my 6 year old daughter to get her ears pierced and the professionalism, kindness, and quality of service are unmatched. Such a positive experience :)

Nic is an incredible piercing specialist and wonderful person overall! She walks you through the whole process and is super knowledgable. My piercing look great and healed great even with sensitive ears, and I've been back several times for more! Would highly recommend!!

I have been here multiple times and have always booked with Nic, she is incredibly talented and never misses!! She takes the time to walk you through the process and aftercare to make sure u feel comfortable at all times. I love that she takes the time to pick out the perfect jewelry with you and go over how to care for your piercing. She has done my lobes, conch, helix, nostril and eyebrow piercings and I’ve had 0 issues with them. I highly recommend her!!!

I recently got my first non-ear piercing at Dogstar. I was nervous but had an excellent experience with Emity! It was easy to book online and check in. Their website outlines their booking policies very clearly. Emity made sure to walk me through all of the starter jewelry options without pushing more expensive options. She educated me on why I couldn't do a nostril hoop right away and walked me through their cleaning practices. In the piercing room I felt safe, comfortable, and noticed that she was always sanitizing as she went. She practiced good hand hygiene, outlined the steps she'd take for the piercing, then walked me through them again gently as we went. The piercing was speedy and as painless as it could be. She answered all of my aftercare questions and provided info on checking in and changing the piercing in the future without making me feel rushed. Checkout was painless, too. With cost of service, jewelry, and 20% tip, my nostril piercing totalled about $100 give or take. This was a great experience and I'm glad I went with Dogstar!

My absolute go-to studio for jewelry & piercings. Nic, my piercer, is incredibly knowledgeable & friendly! She walks you through the entire process: from picking out jewelry, anatomy check for said piercing(s), and sterilization of tools & jewelry. She makes me feel seen & safe throughout the piercing process. Highly recommend booking with Nic :)

I went to Nic for my nostril piercing and I cannot recommend her enough! She is very thorough and professional. You’ll have plenty of chances to ask questions and she goes above and beyond to make sure you understand the process and the aftercare!
