I love John! I only go to him for all my piercings, and my daughters. And I recommend him to everyone.

Awesome! I got my nose pierced by John yesterday. He was very kind, funny and very professional. He'll give you a super in-depth speech on how to take care of your piercing, how it's done, and he'll answer any of your questions! It was my first time going to Hold Steady and definitely not my last, I'll be going there for all of my piercings from now on :)

John was great! He was very kind and helpful! He did my mom and I. The piercing looks great! He was also sarcastic but very funny! He helped me when I was scared and told me it didn’t hurt and that it was easy and to close my eyes! 100% great definitely recommend this place<3 See you in 3 weeks John!

Let me just start off by saying I was amazed at how well these people are running their business right now. Very kind customer service, clean shop, relaxed environment, and more. My boyfriend just got his first piercing here and I tagged along. After being in this shop for all of one minute, we were already chatting it up with John, the man who pierced him. Amazing man. Within the first seconds he introduced himself he had my boyfriend AND me entrapped in great conversations which is rare these days no matter where you are! He did everything he could to make my boyfriend relaxed and comfortable without doing much at all! He made sure that he was aware of the entire cleaning process before he even touched a needle. My favorite part was at the end when he took a picture of the piercing, he would tell funny jokes to get a genuine smile and that was awesome.I could sit here and talk about all the positive things all day! Overall this business is wonderful, and worth more than 5 stars. They created an amazing first experience for my boyfriend, and I plan to go back to get my nose pierced very soon!

What an awesome job John did remodeling the place! Love the steam punk theme, John the piercer/owner is very well educated in his line of work very professional and always sanitary. I will not let anyone else do my piercings ever again. I have Been back to Hold Steady a few times! Ps. John is easy to talk to and will have you smiling through any piercing that you get. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!💜🐢💜

Hold Steady is my go-to place for both tattoos and piercings. Russ does a fantastic job and is very likable, and his work is amazing. Both my stepmom and I have tattoos from him and we adore them. John the Piercer is the only person I trust to pierce me. He's done 5 of my adult piercings, and I've gone with plenty of friends and he's never once done a bad or rushed job. He measures everything extremely precisely and makes sure that the person knows the aftercare for their piercing. There is no other place I'd recommend if you want a good, high quality, and well priced piercing. Plus the new lobby is absolutely gorgeous!!

I am really glad I came here to get my ears pierced. John was really professional and took the time to correct the placement of my original lobe piercing (it was a little off centered) before adding the additional piercings that I wanted. He was also extremely thorough when explaining the cleaning/ healing process, and I learned a lot from him in this time. I would definitely go back!

I went here for my 18th birthday to get a smiley piercing. when i got there everyone was friendly and I didn’t rlly have anything negative to think ab the place. but when i went in the room to get pierced the topic of conversation lead to him going on a controversial speech (don’t get me wrong i love a good controversial convo but he was sooo cocky with it) . After about 20 minutes of listening to this guys views😂, the employee pierced my web in the wrong angle, i didn’t think much of it at first because i figured it was just swollen. but now it’s fully healed sits crooked, also let me mention the fact that he was struggling to put the second bead which hurt. a lot. felt like i was gonna pass out after. It was also $80 out of my pocket for a weird and pro-longed piercing experience.
