Dreads Touch

WHEN I TELL YA I AM IN LOVEEEE. Came here undecided about ear piercings. Dre was very helpful and we decided on tragus surface piercing and a helix. He made sure I was very comfortable my entire visit. 10/10 recommended definitely will be back

The owner was very very nice to me and my friends. The tattoo artist was light handed and very nice as well. Took me and my friends as walk ins. Great looking tattoos. Very cute earrings. Did a piercing sesh in front of us and it encouraged me to also get a new one. Will definitely return 😊

Great service! Very friendly staff, everyone is very passionate about what they do and my piercer was super patient! Piercing is fresh but done very well

I came here because of the reviews and they did not disappoint! I only had an idea in mind when I came here and Rodney made the idea even more epic! I will definitely come back for my next tattoo’s. He was super patient with me and he emphasized how important client satisfaction is to him.

Claud was absolutely amazing! Super professional and his customer service skills are phenomenal. He pierced me and my friend as walk ins and honestly I was a little hesitant at first, but everything is clean, and he answered all of my questions. Very personable, I will be coming back for Claud! Not to mention the work he did was fantastic too. He pierced my daith and my friends daith, conch and rook.

I had a super unhappy and very infected piercing that I had gotten done at a different shop. I was desperate to get the jewelry out but it was Easter Sunday and most shops were closed. The owner of Dread’s Touch squeezed me in and removed the earring for me free of charge. He did a great job minimizing the pain of the experience and was super friendly and made me feel comfortable the whole visit. I trusted him completely, he obviously knew what he was doing. The shop is also newly renovated and well decorated. Super clean and comfortable space. 10/10 recommend!

Piercer was super nice but unfortunately pierced my lip in the completely wrong spot ; I went here for a vertical labret piercing and he pierced through my chin, too deep for a labret piercing. He also fished around in my lip for a good 30 seconds trying to straighten the piercing. My lip is completely infected even after cleaning it 3+ times a day with saline solution and warm salt water. Did not lube up the needle enough before shoving it through my face either.

My brother and I got beautiful, professional tattoos done here! They were able to accommodate us as walk-ins, the pricing was very fair, and they were super hospitable. Would 100% recommend.

I got a nose piercing, amazing price, patience and cleanliness. My boyfriend got a fade😍best fade I’ve seen. He also got braids which turned out amazing and the braider even gave us a free concert with her singing🥰😂❤️

Great service and work fast I recommend all my friends👍🏽🤎DEFINITELY WILL COME BACKING

This was a great service. I went with my friend and we got a great deal off for 4 piercings. Loved his attitude great experience . Also very patient

(Pink back Dermal’s) Had a great time, Se7en is very welcoming, I had a great experience and I love my new piercing. Will sure be back!.

Building is under renovations, but that did not take away from the amazing service. Very considerate of what I wanted and super friendly! Happy with my ear piercing results.

Wonderful experience! Me and my friend did walk in piercings and were able to be seen right away. I got a triple forward helix; the owner was so sweet and ended up only charging me for 2/3 piercings because the middle piercing I already had, but he fixed it so it was even with the other two. Would highly recommend!

Super professional. Very clean ! & made sure I was okay through the whole process! Thank you would come back !

I had a great experience here! I 100% recommend.

Had the best time here. So professional and quick. Thank youuuu, I’ll be back for sure

I got my belly pierced and it was a very clean and quick procedure to do. The guy was nice and talked us through it to make us feel comfortable.

Claud is THE BEST! I got my tragus pierced here and he was super nice and made me feel very comfortable! Definitely recommend coming here!!

Best piercing experience I’ve had! Owner is very kind and respectful. He let me come in last minute and still took time to make sure I was comfortable with the placement and aftercare. I felt comfortable leaving knowing my piercing was done with expertise and hygienically.

I got my ear pierced here a few days ago and had the best experience. The shop is clean and comfortable and the owner did a great job. My piercing is healing nicely and I would definitely go back to get more!!

It was a great experience i was pretty scared at first but he talked me though it and i did it and i love it thank you so much !!!

Very good professional service .Felt extremely comfortable in the environment! Love the jewelery

This place is the best!! Me and my two friends showed up 30 mins before closing for nose piercings and they were so nice. We love them!!

I had a comfortable and quick service. Everything was explained to me as I went on with my service. Will be back !

Great service! It was clean and sterile. Great prices and does do belly piercings. It is cash only, just so you know before hand.

This is amazing place to get your nose pierced!! When I called the owner he was very kind and respectful on the phone. When I arrived with my friends he was super welcoming and very reassuring about the process of getting the piercing. It was quick and easy and did not hurt as much as I expected. The store is very clean and the tools he used for the piercing was safe and sanitary. Definitely recommend!!

Enjoyed my first time here definitely amazing and quick

Every time i need an appointment for a piercing or tatt they ALWAYS make it happen ! My favorite place ever! I won’t be going anywhere but here! Love the customer service as well!

Owner likes to have weapons on him while he works dont think that’s kool !!

Dreads Touch was a nice experience for me. The owner was very professional and made me feel comfortable during my piercing session. The shop was really clean too. Im a happy customer.

Place clean. This service was quick and he was very patient. He has a great attitude and me and my friend got a great discount.

One Stop Shop✅barbers✅tattoo artists✅piercings specialist& moreIf you’re looking for a friendly and welcoming environment to get reasonably priced tattoos and piercings. This is the place to be. They’re open on Sundays. Just call and make an appointment, it’s super easy. Dread is great conversation and professional for more intimate services.

I got a belly button piercing and it was such a good experience! He was very kind and walked me through the process. He let me pick jewelry and checked to see what jewelry would fit me. I’ll definitely be back for another piercing!

Great place, he talked me through it. was patient with me. Love my nose piercing and I have a low pain tolerance!

I like it, it wasn’t as painful everyone be saying it’s a quick pinch and the afterwords it don’t hurt

I had the best experience getting my piercing done here. The owner had done the piercing and he made me feel comfortable and welcomed. I was feeling a little nervous and he assured me that I was okay. The process was quick/easy and I’m super happy with my piercing. Overall great experience and I 100% recommend coming here.

I called about a walk in an hour prior, the owner was very kind, conversational and accomodating. Amazing vibes as soon as I came through the door, had me talking throughout the whole piercing and I barely felt the pain. Will be returning for all my future body mods. 🫶🏽🐍

Loved the work I got done there , he was able to fix my belly piercing that another shop had messed up and got infected . But he redid it and it came out looking good . Y’all should come book with the the shop walk inns available to .

This was a great experience! Definitely worth the hype on the piercing end. Fastest, smooth piercing I’ve had. And I’ve had my nose done before as well as other piercings.

Got my piercing done, it was such a great experience. Will definitely be coming back.

Great customer service, this was my first time. Dread was very welcoming, very down to earth and personal. The piercing was quick and efficient and i was given all the knowledge and a wonderful discount ! I will definitely be back when i heal !

Amazing customer service , very persuasive and knowledgeable. This was my first time getting a tat and a belly piercing, he was very patient and helpful. Definitely coming back again !

He is literally the best ever! I received four piercings at my appointment (nose both sides & nipples) and i must say his customer service is top tier on top of his sanitation being A1. Highly recommend!!!!!

I got my Tattoo done about two weeks ago I love it. I got a sunflower.

My sister and I spontaneously decided we wanted to get our noses pierced. We found Dread’s Touch by a google search and noticed it’s all 5 star reviews. Well now I know why he has 5 stars. What a great place! We were welcomed in right away and escorted to the back. This place is clean from top to bottom. He talked with us about what we wanted and answered all of our questions. Dread is extremely knowledgeable and walked us through step by step. It was quick and looks amazing. He took his time to discuss after care and when we decide to change jewelry after it heals. Did you know he does that? I’ll be going back in 6 weeks and will also use him for future piercings. Thanks Dread!!!!

Best ear piercing!! Very kind staff, extremely helpful

Look no further people for any other Body Piercing Professionals in Albany NY. I highly recommend coming to this business for any piercings. The service was A1.The gentleman that owns this business is very professional, compassionate, knowledgeable, and caring. Just want to mention service was safe, clean, and sterile. Piercing was swift and to the point. This business has overachieved my expectations!!!!! Job well done and some!!!

I called 3 places and they where closed I came here to get my nose pierced and left with a piecing and my hair locked, they are amazing super nice and so clean loved it here thank you guys 🙏🏽🤞🏽

My family and I came in today for different piercings today. They got us in right away and did such an amazing job on all of our piercings.

Very professional environment and made me feel comfortable throughout each piercing. Also gave me thorough aftercare instructions. Definitely will be returning and recommending to everyone I know!

I was a bit nervous getting the piercing I had wanted but, he talked to me through the whole thing it went extremely smoothly. He even let me make sure that I liked the placing of it and that I didn’t feel any discomfort after the piercing. He’s definitely someone I would recommend getting work done by!!

Just got my nose pierced Dread did a great job ! Light on the hands ! I recommend him, 10/10

My sister and I had an absolutely amazing experience here! We decided to get our noses pierced and were able to walk in. Dread was patient (I was nervous), knowledgeable, and professional. He answered all my questions. He even had me laughing and pretty relaxed before my piercing. The business was clean and welcoming. I definitely recommend Dread!

Got my eyebrow pierced, was quick and easy and the staff is nice and friendly !! Also very happy with the result. Would def go back for future piercings!

I came into this place with a painful, too tight nose piercing that was done at a different Albany piercing place. Dreads Touch immediately noticed what was wrong with my nose ring and had me totally fixed up within 15 minutes. They are so professional, fast, and reasonably priced. They are my new go-to piercing place in Albany.

I got a helix ears piercing at Dreads touch and I must commend them on their professionalism and cleanliness. The process was easy and they even gave me a discount on the aftercare. Great service! Will definitely be back.

If I could put 6 stars I would. The service was awesome and he was very patient and understanding. The piercer gave me my new favorite nose piercing.

Walked in for a belly button piercing, he was extremely nice and welcoming. I have had my belly button pierced 4 times and this was the easiest and most painless experience. He was very kind and helpful!!

I came to this shop in the middle of a piercing crisis and Dread was super helpful in easing my anxiety. Unfortunately my nose piercing had begun to close and I was unable to place the ring back in my nose.My friend and I googled some places that were open and this one was the only one, due to it being a Sunday. When we entered we were greeted immediately and felt a warm welcoming vibe. I ended up having to get my nose re- pierced and changing my ring. ( There was no pressure to purchase jewelry or products, which I appreciate).The customer services was excellent. The shop was clean, and all of the staff that were present were pretty attentive.Two things I highly appreciated about this business is that it is black owned and open on Sundays.I highly recommend and will be returning.Thank you Dread.

Claud pierced my first nose piercing and was extremely careful and attentive, definitely would go back for another piercing in the future

I got my nose pierced yesterday but managed to pull it out. I was on my way home to Michigan and didn’t want to wait until I got home to have it fixed. Randy got me in and was able to repierce my nose in no time! The guys that I encountered there were so friendly and sweet. It was a great experience. If I ever decide to do another piercing, I may just make the 8 hour trip to Albany to do it 😊

I got my nose pierced here on sunday and it already came out, they don’t use proper jewelry and they don’t clean it very well, my nose is now irritated and in pain, don’t go here do your research and go to a better place not a 3 in one

Amazing clean & professional place! Randy & his fiance Kim are the sweetest people, I was skeptical about my healing process but they answer all my questions and randy was super careful and quick. Definitely would recommend!
