Black Diamond Body Piercing

I have been able to work with Megan twice now, and each time it’s been a great experience. They were super welcoming and calming overall, and made me feel very comfortable. I really appreciate when piercers talk you through what they’re doing, and that’s exactly what they did. When I first worked with Megan, I got two flat piercings. She took the time to ask me how I was feeling, and walk me through the process, which made the whole experience super nice. Megan made me feel like I was valued more than just someone that they happened to be piercing by taking the extra time to get to know me a little. As far as the piercings themself, they came out lovely, and the whole experience from how I was treated, to the outcome of my piercings was just great. The second time I got to work with Megan was when I was stretching my septum for the first time. She was super informative, and when it came to picking jewelry, they made sure I chose something that would not only look good, but work well with the healing process. They could’ve easily just given me the type of jewelry I was initially going for (and also made more money because that piece was more expensive) and hoped it ended up okay, but she instead took the time to explain why I should choose something different. This showed me that they really valued the quality of their work, and made me feel even more like I was in good hands than they had already proven to me. Just like when I got pierced by Megan, they walked me through the entire process, and were very helpful with any stretching questions that came up. Overall I would 100000% get pierced by them again, and will definitely be coming back!

Hands-down the most frustrating place to come to as a support person. Out of all of the times I have been pierced here pre pandemic, 0 issues .... now? Customer service is so poor. Note, if you're trying to get pierced they will not let you bring someone in with you. They won't even look you in the eyes when you walk up to the door with your friend and politely tell you that you can't come in. It can be incredibly scary to get pierced, and while it's a voluntary choice, part of getting pierced is doing it with a friend or family member that can keep you company. We are 2 years past the pandemic and CT is ~90% fully vaccinated. This isn't a doctors office...it's a body modification studio. There should be no specific reason why a masked, vaccinated, hand washed family member shouldn't be able to accompany someone getting pierced. This will be the second time that I have tried to come to support a family member, and each time I'm forced to sit outside the business alone. They treat the accompanied person as though they don't exist and it is poor business etiquette. At the very least they have a waiting room inside (which I have seen) which can be used for guests who are not allowed to venture back into the intimate piercing rooms themselves. It's unfortunate that they treat their customers and supporters this way, and I would highly recommend going somewhere else to get pierced where you can be treated like a human vs. a supportive barbarian.

I decided to go to Black Diamond Body Piercing for my first piercing in 20 years (since getting my ears pierced at Claire's when I was a kid) because they are SO pleasingly organized, and are members of the Association of Professional Piercers. Their space is very clean, minimalist and calming, and their website and instructions are very clear. Christine did my nostril. They were very chill, patient, methodical, and put my piercing exactly where I'd indicated I wanted it. I might have a high-ish pain tolerance, but Christine made the actual piercing process quick and easy. It's been 8 days since and my piercing seems to be healing well! No complaints! Black Diamond Body Piercing is a great spot!

We had a fabulous experience here having my 8yr old daughters earlobes pierced. The facility was immaculately clean, they took ample precautions with sanitation of tools and best of all, Megan was incredibly gentle and patient with my daughter. She was so nervous and let loose a loud shriek and cry after the first piercing. Megan was soft spoken with my daughter and let her know she could take her time to prepare for the next ear. We left with a very happy 8yr old with a beautiful pair of little violet gems in her ears.
