Burly Fish Tattoo & Piercing

I’ve never gotten a piercing before and I was really nervous but the staff at Burley were amazing! They were so kind and patient with me, especially Carla. I would recommend them for anyone who’s getting a piercing for the first time. 10/10

Friendly, quick, clean, can tell they are very experienced

Professional as well as clean. I'm definitely coming back here again 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏾

I went to this piercing shop to get a shorter bar for my nose piercing. The lady I believe her name is karla took out my piercing and said she didn’t have the correct shorter bar for my current diamond stud which was fine. She put it back in and I told her it felt like it was still loose she checked it and said it was fine. I went home that night and the diamond stud fell out and I could not find it anywhere. In my two years of having my piercing it has never fallen out until she removed it. I called the next morning and she told me I would have to just buy a whole new one for 70$ regardless of it being her fault that she didn’t put the piercing on correctly.

The front desk girl and Justin (piercer) have been helping me out for months now and are always super friendly. I highly recommend this shop for all your piercing needs :)

I had a piercing done yesterday and I was very nervous to get it done but Kayla made me so comfortable and made the experience so much better! I would 100% recommend her to do your piercings! Also Darren does amazing tattoos I get all of my work done by him! LOVE THIS PLACE

Great experience for my septum piercing! Quick and easy!

I came here to get my nipples pierced very last minute. I was determined to get them done and the place where I had been recommended to go was closed. I traveled an hour to come here because of the reviews, and they did not miss. Justin was my piercer and he was so amazing. He gave me the privacy I needed as well as an extensive amount of rules on how to properly care for my new piercings. I will never go anywhere else for a piercing ever again. Thank you so much Justin!

I got about 6 or so pieces from Darren, 2 out of those being pretty big cover ups. My experience with Burly Fish, since day one, was extremely welcoming and professional. The shop is clean and the owner, I believe his name is Patrick, came across as a really down to earth guy, with a nice vibe. Hence the vibe within his shop. My artist Darren is by far the best artist I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He listened to every single thing I said and if, for whatever reason, he felt maybe XYZ wouldn't work, he'd vocalize that and suggest something else. He allowed me to express my vision through his hands and I could not be happier. This man is truly gifted. There is so much I could say but number one would be a huge Thank You to Mr. Darren B, for sharing your gift with the world and helping someone to feel "more like them" within their skin. And thanks to Patrick for creating such an establishment that harnesses real authentic talent. Gets no better than these 2 🤙🏽 Sending all the love and support from the LBC to Flag. Thanks again.

I went in to switch my stud to a hoop, and I specifically asked for a hoop that would fit snuggly against my nose. I went with the jewelry that the employee had recommended, and got it switched. As soon as I saw how it fit, I was very upset as it was much bigger than what I had wanted. After I expressed my dissatisfaction, the piercer informed me that there was nothing they could do. They also informed me that all jewelry sales were final, so I was stuck with the piece that I wasn’t happy with.

I have gotten a daith piercing and a helix piercing from Burly Fish. Both were the most painless piercings I have received and both healed cleaner, easier, and faster than any other piercings I have had. The piercing staff at Burley Fish is extremely thorough, careful, and go the extra mile to ensure that people are comfortable and confident before getting pierced. Hands down the best piercing place in Flagstaff.

I came in four days ago for my very first piercing. The staff is so friendly! I hadn't eaten or drank anything, and they gave me a snack and juice. I let my piercer know that sometimes I faint, and she was incredibly understanding about it. She talked me through both nipple piercings, allowed me a rest in between, and told me detailed aftercare instructions. It was a very enjoyable experience! My new piercings look great :)

Amazing service and people. I went in trying to correct another shops mistake for my septum and they helped me and made everything better !

I have had several piercings and bought some beautiful jewelry at Burly Fish! Also, I have had multiple tattoos done by Darren Babbitt! They are all very nice and professional❤️

I came to get jewelry for an existing nose ring and they had me make an appointment, so I assumed that they would install it for me, but instead I was just given the jewelry and the backing in sanitary bags and sent on my way. I didn't know what size backing to get so they just picked one without even looking at my nose and it is way too long, every time I move my nose I have to push the piercing back in because it sticks out a couple millimeters. It took me 20 minutes to put in and I dropped it like 3 times because I don't have the right equipment to put it in so the sanitation is just gone. It was $110 with no installation and the wrong size. Just seems a little unprofessional to send people home with the wrong jewelry size for that much money and not even offer to put it in for them. I've paid less at other stores for the same exact jewelry and installation, but I'm from out of town and this place was recommended to me, so pretty disappointing. 4 stars because I don't want to affect your rating for this, but I wanted you and others to know what to expect.

I’ve went to burley fish multiple times in the past and was always a great experience. Sadly, this last time I went was not good at all. I went in to get my nose pierced and walked in 5 minutes before they opened because the door was unlocked and figured mind as well go in and get checked in and was fine with waiting. When I walked in a guy was sweeping and gave me a super dirty look and looked at his watch. I apologized for being early but pointed out the door was open. He then said I needed a mask which I was fine with and I apologized and said I would go to my car and grab one he then rudely said “well what do you want?” And I said “I want to get a nose piercing” and he said “we are booked all day for piercings” so I said okay and left. I wasn’t aware you had to make an appointment to get piercings as they take like 5 minutes but even so the guy didn’t have to be so rude. Anyways, I ended up going to woodys old school tattoo and piercing shop and they got me right in and were so nice and amazing (: I suggest you go to Woodys instead if you want a piercing!

Absurd vaccine and mask restrictions they wont tell you about until already taking your money for the appointment

I had two lobe piercings in the past here (done by Kelli) and just got a tattoo done by Darren. Burly Fish is super professional, super clean, and really really friendly. I'm beyond happy with my tattoo and I plan on coming back in the future to get a third lobe piercing and a helix done by Kelli again.

Clean. helpful. Nice and knowledgeable staff. Robyn did my piercing and it was a great experience.

Everyone was very friendly, and Robyn was amazing! I know piercing isn't perfect and anatomy is all different. Robyn pierced my tongue, but noticed right off the bat it was just ever so slightly crooked. (it happens) Instead of letting me leave and heal a crooked piercing, she told me and gave me the choice of being okay with it, or redoing it. I know me, so I asked her to redo it. She was so kind and patient. And round #2, it turned out perfect! *once it stops hurting I'll take pictures and add them to my review.*
