Almost Famous Body Piercing

Very clean. Friendly staff. Excellent service!

I never write reviews, but my experience was so bad I had to. I got my tragus pierced at the Fargo location. I've had my tragus pierced before, but the stud came undone and it closed I before I could fix it. Getting the piercing done at Almost Famous was awful - the piercer had to take two tries to correctly do the piercing, the pain was unbelievable, and I bled incessantly. The first time I had my tragus done, at a different location, the piercer got it right the first time and there was very little pain or blood.

Then I asked the piercer to remove my (healed) cartilage piercing that I was having a difficult time taking out. She was so rough with it that I started to bleed again and it was very painful.

As a side note, the customer service was pretty bad, too. I had to wait at least 10 minutes before I could even talk to anyone about what I wanted done, and then another 10 minutes to get into a piercing room. All but one of the employees looked like they just rolled out of bed - sloppily dressed and poor hygiene. And my piercer talked to one of her coworkers while piercing me, instead of focusing on my piercing. Probably why she had to do it twice.

Go to Dead Rockstar for any piercings you want done.

Understandably, due to Covid, procedures need to change, however; the process is far from efficient and at times, they are only letting 1-3 people in. I waited over 4½ hours to buy a new piece of jewelry for work purposes, was the next in line and I was turned away at 5:53pm because they were closing at 6pm. This is after it was announced that anybody physically in the at 6pm would be able to be helped. Well, they took the people in front of me in at 5:47pm and they were the only customers in the store. VERY FRUSTRATING AND EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING!!!

Called to see if I could show my birth certificate instead of my id because my id was stolen and had not gotten a new one. The lady I talked to on the phone told me that showing my birth certificate was just fine after I told her my situation. So I DROVE 2 HOURS just to go to them. I get in there and a guy tells me that they can’t take my birth certificate because I’m over 18. I explained the conversation i had on the phone and he said he couldn’t do anything about it. Very unprofessional that one employee told me one thing and I drive 2 hours and another employee tells me a different story. Very unprofessional and will never recommend them to anyone. (Would’ve given 0 stars if possible... they didn’t seem sorry for the inconvenience or anything.... very rude)

It was a bit of a wait, however they were very very thorough with cleaning in between each person and made the process really comfortable and made sure that even after the piercing, I would be okay to leave the store and make sure it was cleaned up and taken care of.

I went in September to get my nose an bellybutton pierced. My nose was fine, but my bellybutton piercing is pierced sideways. Literally sideways. Only go here for your nose or your earlobes. Do not get anything else done here. They do not know what they are doing whatsoever.

I had to go in today since they were the only place open on Sunday. I had to get plastic jewelry for a procedure I’m having. I needed one for my nose and cartilage piercings. She showed me the cartilage stud and “I can tell this is the right size” $15 freaking dollars later, I get home, and it is way too big!!!! Ugh. Waste of time and money to go here. Support the real professionals and go to a tattoo parlor.

I have had 6 piercings done with this company as a whole with 1 being done at the Fargo location, my fiance has had 5 done and 2 ear stretchings without issues...until today. I went in to get my ears stretched from a 2 to a 0, I told them I've been at a 2 for at least a month, and about a week and a half ago I tried going to a 0 myself but I couldn't so I came in to the professionals. The male who was working said he would do it and took me back. Long story short he didn't seem to have actually looked to see if my ears were ready and the first time he touched my ear was with the tapers, he put 2 different tapers through my ear a total of 3 times before grabbing a woman who took one look at my other ear and said they weren't ready. He put my 2 back in my ear which had been bleeding since at least the 2nd time he put the taper through (all 3 times the taper went all the way through my ear with the 3rs time jewelry going in my ear), told me to wait 4-6 weeks and come back in, use aftercare and sent me on my way after saying there was a $5 tray fee then said oh never mind you're good. I got to my car and my earlobe was swollen to double the size, dark red and painful and bleeding. Bleeding didn't stop for 20 minutes. I live in minnesota and it was about 5 hours before I could clean my ear and look at it. I took out my 2 plug and I see the blood all around and in my ear, and then I see a literal flap of skin inside my ear, just hanging out in there. I get it cleaned up and put triple antibiotic on it while my fiance called and told them what was going on, without the woman on the phone being able to see my ear, she tells him "it'll be fine, just use aftercare more often than you would with a piercing, she will be fine". No apology, absolutely nothing. They have torn my ear open, leaving a flap of skin hanging and they dont care. I went in at about 420 PM, it's now 140 am and I'm STILL in pain, to the point that I cant even sleep with having taken extra strength tylenol. I will literally never go back to any location.

I went in for a lip peircing... the peircing and the staff where fine. But they charge a bit high and the ball on my peircing has already falling off because the accommodation for swelling wasn't there.

Update: I went in and got it retampered. It hurt like hell but it's back in properly. And they did it for free.
