My daughter and I both went in for double flat piercings ($160 plus tip). Process was actually very good...not painful and went quickly and they looked great. The day following the piercings, my ear started swelling and got red and hot. Was very painful and throbbing. This happened even after the cleaning process was followed exactly. I ended up having to have both of them removed and was told the studs were way too short for that piercing. Now, my daughter’s ear is swollen and red and one of the backs is completely embedded in the back of her ear (once again stud was apparently too short for that piercing). Never again. I could see if something happened to one of the piercings, but the fact that we had four between the two of us and we have now lost 3 of them and are waiting to see if the 4th one is salvageable or not is just not ok. The piercings looked awesome...but only lasted a couple days. Very sad.

I've gotten many small tattoos and my ears pierced here. The place is very clean and everyone that I have spoken to is very professional. After care instructions are always given.

Mikey did a great job with my labret and my helix piercing. Barely any pain, and went into detail about aftercare. Will definitely be back.

I'm not in the habit of leaving reviews, but this place went out of it's way to mistreat me as a potential client.
The tattoo artist assigned to me had to cancel our appointment twice because he was diagnosed with COVID. Of course, this can be worked out, but both times the cancelation was within 12 hours of our appointments. He actually called me 90 minutes before our first attempt, "I've had COVID all week, I don't know why the studio didn't call you sooner to reschedule." Two months later, after a second cancellation, two separate people at the studio said I should be entitled to a refund on my deposit. Instead of following through, the studio ignored 3 different texting attempts and didn't return any of my phone calls. Finally, I went into the studio to speak with someone and was told that they would have their management give me a call. Apparently, the very idea of being responsive to a client was too much for the studio, they decided to continue ignoring me instead.
Any business can claim that refunds are not part of their policies. But businesses have management to step in when they are clearly in the wrong, regardless of those policies. Asylum had several opportunities to do the right thing and refused to act as a properly run business.

I just got a double conch piercing here and Jess was amazing! She gave me all the care instructions, did a great job, and made my experience quick and easy! Will come back here when I come to get my next piercing for sure- and I'll be sure to book with Jess!

This place has really good prices for piercings, however out of all my 9 piercings I've gotten; never once has my ear come out bruised. This is definitely a first which is concerning. And I have the same piercing place on my other ear so it's definitely not because of the spot. It didn't feel right when he pierced my ear. Just really concerned on why my half my ear is bruised.

I went in today (a Saturday) to get my septum pierced. First of all, I was very impressed by the studio. It has a really cool vibe with tons of cool art on the walls and plenty of comfortable seating for waiting, which was great since I had to wait about an hour and a half. I fully expected to have to wait on a Saturday afternoon though, and the fact that they were so busy was a good sign to me that they were well established and trusted by their clientele. The receptionist was very friendly and welcoming. Once I was finally called back to get my piercing, I noticed that the facility was very clean and sterile. I felt safe having my body modified there, so that's a pretty big deal. Jesikah was my piercer, and she was AWESOME. She was very knowledgeable and happily answered all of my questions. She made sure that I was getting the placement and jewelry size that was right for my face and took time to prepare me and make sure that I was aware of what she was doing. The piercing itself only took a few seconds (if that). It was so quick, clean, and about as painless as a piercing can possibly be. I was quite shocked actually as to how easy it was. After she was done she made sure that I was satisfied, went over aftercare, and told me not to hesitate to call her if I had any problems or questions. This was a great experience all around, and I highly recommend to anyone that wants a piercing to see Jesikah at Asylum Studios!
