Laughing Buddha Seattle

thank you LJ!!!

I have never wrote a poor review before, because I feel its more important to discuss my concerns with the people that are working with me but unfortunately this place just disappointed me and left me with pain after my piercing. :( I decided to make a far drive to this place after research and the good reviews this place gets. Don’t get me wrong everybody here is amazingly nice and kind! The piercer did flawless with my piercing. My only concern is the first time they gave me my jewelry the post was wayyyy too short to compensate for any swelling at all, it was already digging into the back of my lip but I decided to trust the process and trust the piercer as they are very professional and nice. Upon going home the next morning the jewelry was already started to embed. I understand piercings especially in the mouth region can be unpredictable so I decided to give them a call and express my concern, they offered me to come back and get a “longer” post without charge, and the piercer agreed the posts before were too short before. After changing the post it still felt way too short but given that it WAS a tiny bit longer I was just happy that my concerns were listened to. Upon getting home and checking it out it was indeed still too short, now its the next day and its embedding more than before and is painful. I just wish that with the experience this place has, they’d understand with this piercing you need a much longer bar to prevent this issue. I appreciate this place for the piercing but I seriously now need to figure out where I plan to take this issue as I’m in pain dealing with it and I don’t want to make the far drive just to still not get an adequate enough post.

I came in full of anxiety due to getting a pretty risky set of piercings. Sat in their beautiful waiting room while my anxiety built. As soon as Colin o came and grabbed me he went over everything in detail. He also told me he had only had a issue with one of these piercings the entire 16 years he's been doing this which instantly built trust because he was honest. Let's face it no one's perfect. But the way he was so thorough, honest, quick, and for the most part pain free made me feel extremely comfortable. This place has become my new piercing spot and I will definitely be recommending my family and friends to him. Thanks again Colin O!

Everyone there is so nice and welcoming. Very safe environment for everyone. I had a lovely experience with Bella. I can't wait to book another appointment!

I have been to this shop twice. The first was to get 2 piercings by Hannah, guest piercer, and she was awesome and did a great job. I went back for another piercing and to downsize with one of the resident piercers. The additonal piercing I got was a good experience and painless. However, the downsizing of my rook was awful. It was so painful and took many many tries for the piercer to change it. I am now left with a bloody swollen mess. I am also worried it will not heal correctly, or it will take much more time to heal. I get mistakes can be made but I am still really disappointed and in pain. I won't be back. I did include photos because I do monitor how my new piercings are doing. The before was the day before I went in and the after I took was the evening after the change.

will not be coming back- my septum was pierced way too low, was crooked, and i experienced extreme pain (blood all over my face, 11/10 pain, etc). when addressing this, my piercer just said that everyone has different pain tolerance and it’s nothing to be ashamed of that i was in so much pain (taking no responsibility). i got a second opinion at a different place where they recommended immediate removal because it was likely to not heal and i eventually got it repierced with 2/10 pain. two stars because they gave me a refund as soon as i asked and the people there are nice enough but my experience was traumatic :/

Amazing, wonderful, kind, passionate, professional and patient staff! Cozy and clean atmosphere. Everyone is so welcoming here and anytime I've come they've always been amazing. Originally got my Double Lobe (second lobe) and Helix pierced here by Colin and healing process/adjustments/inserts by LJ! (Lil John). For those wondering yes they do have different sized studs and hoops/rings. (Switched to hoops/rings and little over a year later).

WOW! What a wonderful shop! Andrew was THE BEST! So professional and knowledgeable. Very friendly staff, highly recommend!

Great staff. Everything went smoothly. My friends are amazed at how good my earlobes look. There's barely any swelling. Looks like I've had them for ages. Good selection of hardware. Photo is shortly after piercing was done.

Reasonably pricing, knowledgeable and talented piercers, great customer service. Can't ask for anything better.
