Pinups & Needles

The studio is so professional but also so fun! I thoroughly enjoy tattoo sessions, it's easy to talk to Charlie and Natalie and Jake while they're all working. The artwork is amazing, all of the artists are very professional and precise at what they do, and they keep the shop clean and safe. Would absolutely recommend the crew to anyone looking to get done ink or piercings!

I got snake bites and left the piercer a decent tip. The piercings were crooked. I went back and told the piercer. She said they were not. So to get shorter bars I went to a different shop. Both piercers there looked at her work and agreed the one was off but not only that, both of them were angled too high inside. And the bites themselves are too close together to be snake bites. They are in-between snake and dolphin bites. Then I explained the piercing process to the piercers at the other shop and they explained back to me that the process done on me was not the correct way to put the needle through the flesh for the actual piercing. I LOVE that this is a queer safe space and the artwork is great, the vibes are wonderful too. I am just sorry to say my experience was not a good one. I cannot say anything about their tattoos or other piercings I just know the snake bites I got were not correct. And I unfortunately will not be giving them my business again.

Natalie did an amazing job and she truly deserves the name “Lady Handz”. I’ve never had any other piercings done than the typical lobe piercing so getting the daith was scary but it was a great experience. Definitely would go back for more piercings!

Jeremy did such a good job with my 7 year old for her birthday! He was kind, gentle, explained everything he was doing while working with us. Would recommend to anyone with kids!

Went in a bit last-minute for a double lobe piercing. I had a bit of an adventure involving a wallet left miles away which I was able to retrieve by foot and bus. Miss B (?) was very forgiving and informative, and did her best to make the experience as comfortable as possible. A month later, piercings are healing up very nicely. Thank you!

Got a piercing done by Rev J. Amazing experience. He made sure he talked me through everything and made sure I was 100% comfortable moving forward with the piercing. Clean shop, personable, and was able to chat with Charlie and Natalie who were both extremely welcoming and friendly as well. Great time, I will definitely be back.

i had a great experience here!! i got my nose pierced earlier today and the service was great :) the lady who pierced me was super nice, walked me through the whole experience, and the place itself was very calm. highly recommend!

Walking in, the environment was so welcoming. Everyone was so nice. I went in for a consultation and ended up getting some new jewelry. You won't be disappointed at all going here 1000% recommend.

Badaweyah did my septum piercing in May 2021, and she was incredibly kind and took her time making sure I got the best possible piercing! The shop was very clean, and the vibe was so luscious. This is very clearly a place staffed by professionals who are also PEOPLE -- their primary priority was my safety, and their second priority was everyone having a fun, good time. Everyone has a unique nose, of course, and my nose's sweet spot was very small, but Queen B got a second set of eyes just to ensure it was completely straight AND properly, safely placed. I spent an hour here but it felt like only twenty minutes; Badaweyah and I immediately got along like old friends. I can't stress how happy I am with Pinups and Needles and how safe and comfortable they made me feel. I will certainly be coming back for my next planned body mods!

I have wanted daith piercings for quite some time, found this place online, and booked the appointment based solely on the five-star reviews.
After having this procedure, I simply cannot imagine going elsewhere for piercings and plan on a tattoo touch up.
While this wasn't my first rodeo with piercings, I cannot recommend this place and owners enough! There are many qualities in Natalie that are rare at best....
She explained the process and all possible complications, knew her profession well, and used top-notch equipment.
Daith piercings and other ear piercings can be very painful, and I was previously warned about it, but Natalie has such a light hand and is so diligent and methodical in her ways that I barely even felt a pinch. She just has this overall soothing aura and is genuine and caring.
The prices are not only fair but slightly lower than many other places on piercing jewelry, and they sell top-notch aftercare products in-store.
She also explained in detail that certain piercings rely solely on the person's anatomy and advised me not to do the second daith while not doing both ears on the same day, even offering a full refund on the spot in case my ears were not shaped to handle such an invasive piercing.
The honestly, professionalism, empathy, warmth, and overall awesomeness all exist within just one person, and it's a family business that deserves recognition and respect.
Thank you so much for the quality experience, dear Natalie!
If you are considering any piercing, this is the safest place to go.
