The Parlour of Buffalo

If you want to get a piercing of any kind I very highly recommend going to James at The Parlour. He is meticulous about hygiene, explains everything clearly, and pays maximum attention to detail to ensure the best placement. Great selection of hypoallergenic jewelry. Ive had bad experiences before at other places but only fantastic results with James. I wont go anywhere else.

I contacted The Parlour Buffalo as I wanted a second opinion on the placement of a piercing I received at another shop. James contacted me right away via email and was so pleasant and extremely helpful. He asked for pictures and was polite, patient, understanding and answered all of my questions. Even though I didn’t get any services done by him, I can definitely say that the customer service was outstanding and I would definitely recommend anyone to contact him if interested in a piercing. Thank you! 💕

Jon always takes my ideas to the next level. He has great attention to detail and always surpasses my expectations. He makes the sessions enjoyable and is very easy to talk to. I know I’m in good hands with Jon, can’t wait for the next one!

Very clean, professional and knowledgeable staff! I have a lot of pericing and have heard a lot of different conflicting information about taking care of them. James answered all my questions/concerns and put my mind at ease! If you are nervous about getting pierced, he makes it so smooth and makes sure you are 100% every step of the way.

I have had 10+ tattoos done by Mike G. His designs and attention to detail are amazing. Only person I will trust for tattoos.

Updating my review from four years ago and four piercings later this place is STILL amazing and affordable got my septum done here. James is FREAKING AWESOME! Highly recommended.I recently got my eyebrow pierced this weekend. I will only go to The parlor for tattoos or piercings.

Hands down my favorite piercing experience! Incredible staff, welcoming environment, and extremely sterile. 10/10 recommend to anyway looking to get a piercing.

I had Jon do my first tattoo and I could not be more pleased. He is easy to communicate with, responsive and patient. His design was fantastic and as a fellow artist it was imperative that the art was cohesive. From start to finish Jon was a pleasure to work with. I was comfortable and calm. Jon was great about keeping everything clean and very detailed with the after care. My husband was so impressed he had Jon tattoo him the next day (it was his first too). We will both be getting more art done by Jon. He is stuck with us now :)

We brought my 9yr old daughter to The Parlour for her first ear piercings today. She was sort of nervous and my wife had had a bad experience at the mall when she was a child getting her first piercings. James made us feel so at ease, and he educated us about jewelry types and piercing care in a way that took any guesswork out of it. We will be bringing our younger daughter to The Parlour when she is ready, and we will be recommending anyone we know to come here as well. My wife also said that it was such a great experience that she might get a second piercing in each ear.

EXCELLENT parlour! James did a freaking fantastic job on my tragus piercing. It absolutely did NOT hurt. He kept me calm, collective, and comfortable. Variety of Gorgeous hand made jewelry. I absolutely 💯 will return for more. THANK YOU! 😊🙏

I have been contemplating a more intimate piercing for a long time and finally started doing my research. I came across the Parlour, and booked with James.The studio is super clean, calm and relaxing. I felt so comfortable in the waiting area. This was the best piercing experience I have ever had.James was super kind and very professional, but also personable. I felt like a friend was piercing me. He showed me the jewelry options which were so pretty. He takes his time making sure the placement is perfect. He uses a machine to sterilize the jewelry.Once the jewelry was cleaned he cleans up the area, takes his time marking the area. He also used an amazing breathing technique and it works. The pain wasn’t even bad and after I still feel comfortable. I highly recommend and will be back.

10/10 recommend!! I got my septum pierced by James and am so happy with the results! The shop had a great atmosphere and really prioritized the comfort and safety of clients (e.g. covid cautious) and James was wonderful about explaining the whole process both before and during piercing. And a beautiful selection of unique jewelry. So glad I found The Parlour of Buffalo!

Place was very clean and had a really great vibe. I got a tattoo from Mike and he was very ignorant and not friendly. I would go there again but I would not get a service done by Mike.

The vibe of this store is very welcoming and the inside of the shop is ABSOLUTELY beautiful! The piercer James,was very respectful and very nice as well. 10 out of 10 would recommend coming here again.

Ive been coming to The Parlour since around the time they opened. I have several piercings from James and can say that he puts the utmost care into the process. Hell spend as much time as needed on placement and if youre not sure what youd like to do, hell help you find something that suits you! I made a piercing appointment with James, not knowing what I wanted. So he suggested we pick out jewelry first and he can help with placement from there! It was super fun.I got my first tattoo here as well with Mike G who was super patient with me and all my questions. He always answered my aftercare emails in a timely manner and my memorial piece for my dog came out beautiful!I do come here at least once a year as it became a college tradition! Are they pricey when it comes to jewelry? Yes. But the quality of the jewelry explains that! Experiencing the atmosphere is luxurious within itself.I will always recommend this place! Definitely call in and give them a shot :) You wont regret it!

I got my first tattoo back in July at The Parlour. The studio is beautiful, very clean and a really cool space for a tattoo parlor. I just wish the atmosphere of the shop carried over to the tattoo artist. Unfortunately my experience with Mike was not good. This was my first tattoo so I had quite a few questions and was nervous about the process. He was not welcoming and didn’t feel the need to communicate any information to me which made me uncomfortable. I was there for 4 1/2 hours and with the exception of us finalizing the details of my tattoo, he did not speak to me. When I asked a question, he gave me a rude, condescending reply. He told me if I needed any touch-ups to reach out, and when I did he blew me off never to be heard from again. I like my tattoo, but Mike did not provide a good experience at all.

My daughter and I were looking for a place to celebrate a cancer milestone with a nose piercing and found The Parlour online. It had great reviews so I emailed them my questions and James was more than accommodating to our unique situation. He took his time to explain how he sterilizes all of the equipment and jewelry. Which is very important for a current cancer patient. I can not say enough good things about this place; it is spotless, it has a really cool vibe, the jewelry is beautiful and James, the owner, is extremely empathetic. I would recommend his place to anyone who wants a great piercing experience. Your kindness will never be forgotten.

Absolutely LOOOOOVED our experience here today. I brought my 10 year old daughter to get her ears pierced. She was super excited, as shes wanted them done for ages, but of course very nervous it would hurt, but she didnt even flinch! The needle slid through her lobes like butter. It was amazing! I couldnt believe it. She said it barely hurt, and she had no soreness or swelling or redness after at all (not even the next morning; she said they dont hurt at all!). James was incredible. He took his time and walked her through each step and made her feel so calm and confident, she smiled the whole time.I really loved our whole experience here, start to finish. From the very first moment you walk in, youre filled with serenity, the environment is just absolutely GORGEOUS. Its not your typical low brow tat joint, which is often very rough, open concept, and noisy with an open door, people coming and going. Here you have an appointment and the door stays locked, so no rotating door with people. Its a very serene and peaceful place, with beautiful huge plants, plush leather, separate private rooms on the platform floor (away from the welcome desk where paperwork is done). Its just so spacious and lovely. And James couldnt have been more ideal. He was crazy attentive, patient, and friendly. We took ages looking at jewelry and he never once rushed us or made us feel pressured on time. He allowed us to hold the pieces up with his special tool, so we can see how they looked. His sterilizing process is also very rigorous. The whole process is very clean and orderly and professional, and he makes you feel welcome and comfortable the entire time. I highly, highly recommend going here. Worth every penny over your standard dime-a-dozen parlor for such a classy place like this with James. Couldnt have been more enjoyable.Covid 19 info: No requirements, just signed a waiver that were not sick, nor have been in 14 days, and havent had any known exposure. Took my daughters wrist temp, and we were all set.

A few weeks back I received a tattoo from Jon, who seemed like a really nice guy who cares about his clients. After a week of taking care of my tattoo and it going through its healing process, the dead skin started to shed away. Revealing how the tattoo really held up with the ink. I noticed that a part of it did not hold color, and that I was going to need a touch up. I reached out to Jon to express what was going on and simply asked him if he would be able to help me out, seeing as this was all I can do. He told me that he would have to charge me to come in for a touch up, which I understood. But asked him if he would be willing to do a free touch up since it was still fresh and it didnt hold color. He proceeded to tell me that he would be losing money if he did free touch ups, and that this is not a bargaining game. All I did was reach out since he decided we should not go any smaller or we would lose detail, and he didnt expresse to me that it may not hold color well and that I will need multpiple touch ups. As a client I didnt see any harm in asking to see how he would respond, whether or not he would go out of his way to take care of a client who would potentially come back for more work and recommend to friends and family. But I have gathered that this places ego seems to get the best of them and that money is more important to them. Therefore I felt the need to make this public. Money comes and goes but people will never forget how you make them feel. This shop is surrounded by many other shops, with artists who do amazing work as well. I have no problem rocking half of a tattoo and having someone else.who actually cares touch this up for me. Just know that I will make this public to many many people.

Mike G is talented with patience and did my most prized tat with ease, thank you so much 👌

The studio itself is absolutely beautiful and the man who did my piercings was one of the sweetest people Ive ever met. He was patient and walked through the entire process with me. Definitely will go back and definitely recommend.

I got my helix and conch pierced. I was very nervous but James (owner and piercer) talked me through everything. Minus the initial pinch I haven’t had any discomfort or pain. I recommend sleeping with an airplane pillow. I will definitely be coming back. I recommend coming here, you will not be disappointed!

Went here with my partner to get lip piercings and it was amazing! James talked us both through the entire process and was extremely patient in making sure we were comfortable throughout the appointment. No surprises or anything when it was time for the needle, which I very much appreciated. The only thing i would say about this place is getting here. I would highly recommend public transportation instead as parking is not ideal around the shop, but the experience made it worthwhile, from both the shop and the people working there. Would love to come back again soon!

I will not be going anywhere else to get a piercing in Buffalo! The Parlour was the cleanest, most welcoming spot with a really great atmosphere. From the second James greeted my friend and I at the door we were so comfortable and felt welcomed that our experience was that much better. We were able to get an appointment together for piercings which was awesome and definitely helped both of our nerves! James was super patient with us, more than thorough in explanations and really did a fantastic job!

Such an amazing experience. James was so nice and easy to talk too. I’ve had my nose Pierced once before and I would never go back to that place after having James pierce my nose. Super detailed with all the after care, and the environment was so relaxing for an experience that I was anxious for. 10/10, would recommend to anyone looking for any sort of piercing.

Big kudos to James and The Parlour of Buffalo. Insanely professional, detailed, clean, and friendly af.My fiancé had been wanting a piercing for some time and finally landed on The Parlour as her place and felt really good about James and his history / experience.Being the partner of the person getting pierced, I was curious about the process, and given it was an “intimate” piercing, I very much cared about the person doing the work. I asked about tagging along which James was cool with and when we got to the shop, he was very welcoming and kind. I immediately felt good about this guy piercing my fiancé. From the time we set foot in the shop through the piercing itself, the professionalism was top-notch.I’m writing this review in the event someone out there finds themselves in a similar boat as me or is looking for someplace for themselves. Rest assured this is the place you want to be taking your partner and have peace of mind knowing they’re going to be taken care of in the most professional manner.

I’ve been here two times and just today I came in for a conch and tragus. The store is well-kept and environment is friendly. Professionalism and cleanliness I would give them more stars if I could. I got my piercings done by James and they have many selections to choose from. Before getting jewelry placed in there is a sterilization process for the needles and jewelry. I was wary to try out a new place after getting my conch botched at another place. But the reviews said other wise and after going there two times, l will definitely make this place my regular shop to go to. I definitely recommend, if you’re new to piercings sometimes the more money you pay, the better service you get. You get what you pay for and this place demonstrated it.

This was the best experience I’ve ever had with a piercer. James was not only extremely knowledgeable and still evidently passionate about his profession, he treats everyone with so much respect and kindness. Not to mention, the inside of The Parlour is hands down the most beautiful business I’ve been to. If you want a piercing, I would only recommend this business. The comfort level is exceptional, the staff is wonderful and the entire experience was beyond 5 stars. I will absolutely be back!

Jim was super friendly, compassionate, easy to talk to and made me feel completely at ease. The Parlour is immaculate, and quite frankly everyone should go there for their piercing and tattooing needs. Youll never be disappointed!!!!

Jon was very professional from start to finish! He took the time to make sure the design was perfect for me. He’s very talented as my tattoo came out absolutely perfect! Also a super easy person to chat with during my session. The shop was clean, homey, and I will definitely be returning!

If you need a piercing James is your guy! He does a fantastic job. I absolutely hate needles so my first experience (triple helix) with a high traffic walking shop was a nightmare. I tried The Parlour for my next piercings (lobes) and felt completely at ease. The appointment only policy helps make sure each client gets the time they deserve, and allows you James to give the excellent service he is so great at! I just went back a few days ago and got a new conch piercing, there was a bit of a mix up over the appointment, but James got me in and did an amazing job. He really knows what he’s doing, and takes incredible pride in his work. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to put a piece of metal through my ears! If you want the best, than this is the place! They care about their clients and it shows. I couldn’t be happier with my piercings!! Thanks James!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my times getting tattoo’d at The Parlour. All the artists and owner are very friendly and easy to speak with. I have been working with Jon to finish up a sleeve and start some larger pieces and he has been outstanding. Professional, courteous, very well priced and easy to chat with during sessions. He explains all situations of getting tattoos in various spots (what could happen etc.) and his creativity on an idea is fantastic. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

For anyone looking for a new tattoo or piercing in buffalo, I couldn’t recommend this place enough. I had the BEST first experience and will definitely be back for more. I’ve gotten piercings done from other studios in buffalo that I’ve ended up having issues with or ended up crooked. James was beyond great, knowledgeable and accommodating. As an appointment only studio, my experience felt very personal and comfortable. It was so nice and a lot of fun to play around with thoughts/ideas/placement and to know the focus is on you alone without the chaos of other clients. James really took the time to make sure that my piercing was exactly what I wanted. Not to mention, the atmosphere felt very clean, earthy, organic and homey. I probably could have stayed and hung out all day lol. I don’t think I’ll ever go anywhere else from now on. I’m not impressed easily but this one is for the books! Thank you so so so much again!

James was awesome, very kind and helped me with all my piercing questions and then some.. this place is worth it. The interior is beautiful and very much NOT THE 25$ piercing stop. You can tell its a lifestyle there.

I normally go to another well known piercing shop in Buffalo but happened to get an appointment at the Parlour. It was a great experience and I will definitely be going back! The owner James was very friendly and professional. Talked me through the whole process and was very comforting. The shop was super clean and their selection of jewelry was high quality and of wide variety. I’d highly recommend them to everyone!

Came to the Parlour to get my nose pierced and James was so personable and professional. A super warm welcome and a really cool space with a great selection of jewelry. James was incredibly knowledgeable and explained each step to make sure I was comfortable. I plan on returning to get more piercings.

There is truly not enough words to express how amazing The Parlour and all of its employees are!I have had many tattoos done by Jon and have not been disappointed once. He takes the time to ensure tattoos are perfect for the specific interests of each client and the time and dedication he puts into each piece really shows! He is also excellent in his communication abilities so that each tattoo is a collaboration between him and the client’s wants, which allows for each tattoo to turn out unique. He’s great company during the session as well, which I find to be extremely important. Overall, Jon is the best at what he does and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone if you are looking to get an outstanding, quality tattoo :)

I have gotten multiple Tattoos from Jon Odell over the past year at the Parlour of Buffalo.First off I wanted to start off by saying Jon is very passionate about his work and does a tremendous job of keeping you comfortable throughout the entire process as a client.Second the place is spotless, I have gotten a couple tattoos in other studios and none of have been as clean and maintained as the Parlour. Jon is very meticulous with staying organized and keeps his work station sanitary and clean every step of the way, which goes a long way based off past experience elsewhere.Highly recommend 10/10.

Went here to get my nipples pierced by James and could not have made a better choice. Absolutely the most amazing piercer I have ever been to. He walks you through every process and makes sure you are comfortable with everything happening. He is incredibly professional and his experience is apparent throughout the entire appointment. Please please please if youre going to get something pierced GO TO HIM!

So I wasn’t even necessarily looking for a new place to get pierced, but I found myself intrigued by the insanely good reviews The Parlour has and I couldn’t resist checking it out. And let me tell you. Yeah. The reviews are right. You want to go here.My friend and I were both pierced by James. I appreciated that he let us come in for our appointments together; it really eased both of our nerves. Let’s talk about James. He is actually the greatest: warm, kind, welcoming, easy to talk to, and a consummate professional in every regard. From the minute we walked in the door we felt comfortable and at ease. Never at any moment did we feel rushed: the opposite, actually. James made us feel special. The entire way through, his complete focus was on us and the service he was performing. I would say that’s definitely how you want to feel when receiving a piercing.James walked us through every step of the process, detailing the methods he uses to sterilize (which is always reassuring to hear about) and helping us pick the most perfect pieces. I definitely found myself overwhelmed by the beautiful, extensive selection of jewelry, so it was nice to have some help in narrowing down my options.I had my helix pierced. Although I’ve had facial piercings before, it was my first ear cartilage piercing, so I was nervous and unsure of what to expect pain-wise. And literally — the pain was a 1/10. Maybe lower. I felt next to nothing. I was shocked. It hurt the same amount as getting my lobes pierced for the first time, possibly less. I now understand what people mean when they say the skill of your piercer has a HUGE impact on how painful the experience is. I now feel so much more confident getting piercings that I was previously going to avoid (but really want!!) knowing I can go to James.Last thing. The space itself was immaculate. The fact that you take your shoes off when you enter made it feel like home, and honestly made me even more relaxed. I have so many more piercings planned and I cannot wait to return to The Parlour to have them done. I couldn’t imagine a better experience and I could not recommend this place more highly. ❤️PS: The prices are completely reasonable and actually competitive! That was the one thing I was worried about, and I had no reason to be. The only thing that will ramp up your cost is picking expensive jewelry, but there are options here for every budget. Seriously make an appointment if you’re thinking about it!

I wanted to wait until my piercing was mostly healed before writing my review. i got my first piercing ever done here by James Wisniewski- affordable cost, only seventy five bucks. everything was so chill; the studio vibe is so relaxing, it even smells good there lol, and obviously also very clean. James is such an awesome guy, so focused on educating the client. he explained every step before and during the actual piercing, and reiterated everything afterwards. overall, such a great experience for a first time! plus the placement of the piercing looks great, the quality of the jewelry itself is good quality, not flimsy at all. (i got a septum, btw) i dont wanna sound like some scam review, but I genuinely have nothing bad to say about the experience haha. 11/10, would recommend this studio to anyone. thanks James :)

This is an upscale tattoo/piercing business. They operate by appointment only giving you a personalized experience. James took care of me and from begining to end the customer service was excellent. Not to mention the facility was sparkling clean and there was a wide selection of BVLA jewelry!! I highly recommend you give The Parlour a try you will love it.

Im not one to leave reviews but I just got tattooed by Jon and it was by far the best experience iv had getting tattooed. I wanted someone whos work i really loved to do my hand and I was not disappointed. I loved the design he drew, it came out amazing and I enjoyed talking with him. 10/10 recommend

Just had an appointment with the owner, James and I cannot say enough good about this place!To preface this review, I originally had my cartilage done at an unnamed mall jewelry shop (rhymes with hairs) and was having issues after changing out to a hoop. I emailed James and he was super helpful with my concerns, asking for pictures and eventually setting up an appointment.Arriving at the shop, COVID protocols are super well-done and ensured a great and safe experience (constant sanitizing, release forms, temp check) and the shop itself was beautiful. The décor was lovely, huge plants everywhere and wonderful interior design.For the actual appointment, James explained everything in detail about what we were going to do and he was wonderfully receptive to all of the many questions I had. We found out that my ear had actually closed and re-healed, so we decided to just re-pierce it (the correct, professional way). Again, he was very professional and put me at ease during the whole piercing. We sat down for after-care instructions and he sent me home with some soap he recommended to wash the healing piercing (and an appointment for a check-up in a month).If youre in the market for a piercing, I cannot recommend James and his shop enough. He is friendly, professional and knows what hes talking about!

Its nothing but a pleasurable and welcoming experience. I had a great time and it was a breeze. Very informative and knowledgeable. James was a true pleasure to work with. I will be going back to him again and again and again !!! I have no complaint ! Took precautions by sanitizing eveything and made sure I was comfortable and safe !!! The quality and selection of the jewelry was another plus as well.

I got my nose and ears pierced here, both were my first piercings ever. I wasnt sure what to expect but my piercer James made the experience great. Both the jewelry and atmosphere were great I have no complaints. If youre looking to get your first or a new piercing I definitely recommend The Parlour.

Absolutely incredible experience. James walked me through the entire process and kept me feeling calm and at home. The Studio is absolutely gorgeous and they have a wide variety of jewelry for selection.Would go back in a heartbeat and recommend to anyone, first timers and beyond. Definitely coming back.

The shop was very beautiful and breath taking. The piercer/owner was kinda as all hell and very respectful. He walked us through what was gonna happen and what we should do after the piercing. He made me feel safe and comfortable. Definitely gonna go back there for more piercings.

I have been going to The Parlour for a little over a year now and getting work done by both Rob and Nicole. The shop is absolutely beautiful and extremely unique, nothing like any shop I have ever been to in the area. When you walk in, it has more of a spa feel than a place you would come to get permanent artwork. The owner, James is extremely welcoming the moment you walk in and also extremely knowledgeable in his line work work, piercings and modifications. I have also had my nostril pierced by James and he put me at absolute ease despite being terrified of needles. I barely felt it and he picked the most stunning gold pieces for each nostril and made the entire experience as pleasant as it could possibly be. I would highly recommend going to the shop whether youre looking for an amazing tattoo, a unique piercing or some beautiful custom jewelry, the Parlour has it all.

I will literally never go anywhere else for piercings or tattoos. Everyone is so friendly, clean, and talented. I see Mike for my tattoos. What an amazingly talented human! Dont sleep on this place.

I went in on a Saturday to get my navel piercing literally before they closed at 8, around 630pm or so, and James greeted me right away. When I walked in, the shop had a cool, trendy vibe about it, I didnt feel like I was in a tatoo/piercing place. Its hard to explain, youd have to go there to see for yourself how amazing it is. The floors are wood, so you have to check your shoes in at the door. Honestly, James, the piercer and I presume owner, was amazing. He made me extremely comfortable, he was knowledgeable, and so sweet. The piercing barely hurt at all, but I think its because he did breathing techniques with me before he did it. I highly recommend this shop for piercings. I plan on getting my nose pierced next, and Im definitely going to James again because after my experience, I will not want to go to anyone else!

I was only in town for 1 more day And finally decided to go through with the tattoo and memory of my mom. I knew what I wanted and mike had it drawn up in less than a minute and it was beyond my dreams. He squeezed me in that day and It was done in less than five minutes. I am obsessed with it and would highly recommend his work. And it healed with no issues whatsoever. Thanks mike!!!!

Just got done getting a nostril piercing from James. This is my second one as the first one I got many years ago was a disaster. I was worried because I’m sensitive to pain but he was very reassuring, knowledgeable and thorough. Goes way above and beyond regular COVID precautions to make sure everybody is safe. The piercing process itself was very quick and went way better than my previous one. The shop is absolutely GORGEOUS!! I loved it and will be coming back for sure!!

This shop is fantastic! The entire place is super clean, the environment is extremely comfortable, and the staff was very friendly! Mike G. did my tattoo and Im so happy with how it turned out! Plus the process from our initial e-mails all the way to tattoo day was seamless. Big thanks to The Parlour you all are amazing!!!

I have had 3 tattoos from Rob and my daughter had a piercing from James. All great experiences! Very talented and knowledgeable. Its a beautiful shop and everyone there is so nice. Going for my fourth tattoo with Mikael today!! Very highly recommend!

Where do I even begin! Meeting the owner James was such an illuminating experience. Not only was he extremely helpful with my back & fourth through email, but when I came in for my appointment, I felt completely tended to and supported with my purchase and piercing every step of the way. And lets talk about all the Venus Vibes up in this space! The Parlour is elegant, posh, eclectic, rustic modern; and I felt I could have stayed all day. Get a coffee & tea bar hangout up in here, Ill bring my laptop and connect with the like minded souls choosing to invest in experience over consumerism, ALL DAY LONG! The Parlour treats their clientele like soul family; with open hearts, friendly demeanor, and brilliant conversation. This is the spot I will forever return to when I desire to make an investment in jewelry or a tattoo that lights my soul on fire, because I know I will never be treated like a transaction. I will be guided, honored, and given the holiest purchasing experience anyone could ask for in Buffalo, NY.

Amazing, stylish, & freakishly clean facility. The owner is an absolute stickler for making sure clients are happy & well taken care of. He also has a knack for making a body feel comfortable.After getting a nose piercing & amazingly done/well placed VCH in one go, I am surely making the Parlour my go-to spot for all of my piercing needs. The jewelry is a little on the expensive side, so whatever I get from here is a personal treat, but you definitely get your moneys worth for the great quality service and beautiful but high quality assortment of jewelry!

Rob is the best!! Im so, so, so glad I found him. Super nice, amazing work, gentle hand with a needle. Totally works with you and very experienced. His composition is super strong. Just the best. Also James knows so much and is super helpful and its just such a great group with really good artists and I cant recommend them enough. Super professional.

Placed a custom jewelry order with the wonderful James as well as walking out with some rose gold in my ears! Kind, helpful and talented staff to make your custom tattoo dreams come true. Beautiful shop with a no shoes policy that makes you feel like your in a foreign land! Clean and neat shop with and educated staff.

Great experience here. The place is spotless and upscale with great music playing the whole time. Setting up the appointment and completing paperwork was simple. Mike G did a great job. Would recommend to anyone.

In love with my tattoo! I get a lot of compliments on it thanks to my artist Jon. He was very professional and designed the piece exactly as I envisioned. Highly recommended and will definitely be coming back to get more work done.

Went in for a nostril piercing. Was greeted at the door by James who is the owner and the piercer. The shop was very clean, everyone is professional, felt very much like home which is amazing and made everyone feel comfortable. Best place in buffalo.

To start, the place is amazing. From the awesome décor to the music they play, The Parlour has a truly one of a kind vibe. The exterior is beautiful, the interior is immaculate, and each artist has their “office” decorated to their liking with individual flare. The way this place makes you feel by being there really enhances the tattoo experience. I don’t think I’ve ever felt more relaxed and at home anywhere else while being stabbed with thousands of needles for hours at a time. In all honesty, I wish I could decorate my own house as nice as the shop.Everyone always has concerns regarding cleanliness of a tattoo shop, including myself. Rest assured; this place is spotless! It is absolutely the cleanest and nicest tattoo/piercing shop around. You walk in and can immediately tell how clean this place is. To give you an idea, they request that you remove your shoes before entering the tattoo studio from the entry way; never seen this before at any other shop let alone some spas… As far as my artist is concerned, she cleans the seat, wraps her tools, and opens every needle right in your presence so you should never be concerned about sterilization.As of this writing I have been getting tattooed by my artist, Nicole, for roughly six months now as we are working toward completing a one of a kind geometric travel and exploration themed sleeve. I have to admit, this project did not start with her. I was originally working with another artist in Buffalo who, despite being insanely talented, turned out to be the biggest jerk, most unprofessional, overpriced, and honestly inconsiderate tattooer. So when I got fed up with this individual I sought out a new artist who could do fine line, detailed, black and grey geometric work and match what was already done. It took several months but I found Nicole randomly on Instagram. I immediately inquired about a consultation and within a week I was down at the shop going over what I wanted. I understand that artists never want to pick up where someone else left off or feel as if they were the second choice. However, had I known Nicole existed when I started to plan my sleeve I would have only gone to her. With that being said, after my consultation she took me on as a client without hesitation and I put down a deposit to hold my spot. Six months later we are getting so close to completing the project! So far Nicole has been great and I can’t wait to finish this!Side note, after reading some reviews I think one of the biggest problems with the tattoo industry in general is that client expectations are not realistic. I unfortunately am a perfectionist and sometimes struggle with the imperfections in my tattoos. I keep reminding myself NO tattoo is perfect. Its ART, art has flaws, art has mistakes; art is perfectly imperfect. I’m not talking big mistakes or problems; I’m talking about the little things, the occasional off line or dark shading that didn’t last the healing process. When you go in with realistic expectations that your skin, an organ, is getting stabbed by thousands of tiny needles there is only so much one can do...Though I haven’t had any touch ups yet, I do need some. I have lost some lines completely and have some dark shaded areas did not stick. Despite waiting till the entire project is complete to have everything touched up at once, I know Nicole will honor The Parlour’s policy of free touch ups.

I would say this is the best shop I have ever been in, it is extraordinarily CLEAN and polished ! James (the owner) is amazing ! I went in to have my piercings changed, and I am happy with the service I received! I was nervous about going to a shop because a lot of places stuck and arent honest, but not here! I would highly recommend NOT looking for any other shop or going to any other shop this one is THE best !

Hands down the best experience Ive ever had at a tattoo and piercing shop if thats even the right word to describe this awesome studio and its aesthetics! The owner is an awesome guy who really informed me of all the in and outs of the beautiful selection of jewelry that was available, and the awesome services they provide! Everytime I go to Buffalo this is a must stop!

They were very knowledgeable and professional. Made me comfortable and piercing was done with clean and sanitized equipment and professionalism. I would go again for my future piercings and tattoos. Highly recommend

Very clean, and beautiful business! James was very knowledgeable and helpful when it came to piercing my daith as well as any questions I had about other piercings, and all jewelry. I will recommend him for a piercing, Everytime!

Let me just say James was amazing. He made me feel comfortable and did my piercing so fast. Thank you so much. I love my nipple piercing.

The Parlour is an amazing place to go to get a tattoo! I just got a piece done by Nicole, she did a fantastic job and I’m so happy with how it came out :) All of the artists there seem super chill and knowledgeable, and not to mention that the studio itself is not only clean, but it’s also really gorgeous inside!!

Fantastic Staff very professional, Mike did a wonderful piece on my neck, hes a very talented Artist. I will be returning very soon to get more tattoos done....

James is very professional and kind! i’ll definitely be getting more piercings done by him!

I didnt get work done here but I came to say that Rob is honest and legitimate. I went for a consult and he was very truthful in telling me that what I was looking for was not his style. He was candid about his own style and why he was not the best artist for my concept. He also pointed me in the direction of another artist whom he did feel would collaborate successfully with me and he was right! I nooope know what things would fall more in Robs strengths and I would most certainly go see him for those but I was sincerely appreciative of and impressed by him.

Love this place and the tattoo artists. If you’re contemplating getting your first tattoo or if you’re experienced, you won’t be disappointed. I personally worked with Rob and a year later, I am still just as happy and thankful I chose this shop!

This is hands down the best piercing shop in Buffalo. The cleanest and most professional shop yet, very up to date and offers an atmosphere like no other. Theres no where else Id be comfortable enough to get any work done. Also, all jewlery is alwyas beautiful and custom, no garbage. This place is the real deal.

Awesome place to get jewelry from! Decent prices, piercer is very gentle, and easy going. So glad I was recommended here! Also, you have to take your shoes off before going upstairs, but that just keeps the place super clean!!!

Super duper nice and my tattoo came out amazing!

This place is very unique. Have been here several times for piercings, and my husband for tattoo, never disappointed. Excellent service, the place is super clean. Will recommend anybody to come to the parlour.

One of the cleanest and nicest shops in Buffalo. My husband and I both frequent The Parlour and get tattooed by Rob, we love him! If you’re looking for a quality custom piece I highly recommend this place.

I got my septum piercing done here and it was absolutely amazing. The owner is really kind and knows his stuff and the shop is self is actually really gorgeous and feels just like home.

Great atmosphere, clean atmosphere, James the peircer very nice, and helpful! They also have the best jewelry, sworfski (SP.?)crystal dermals!!! So pleased, James is my go-to guy forever!

Extremely clean. The artist are some of the best in the buffalo area. I suggest Kenny if your looking for a tattoo from a person whos mind can visualize some of the most amazing designs/ diabolical pictures you can imagine. And anything he can draw on paper he can put it on your skin.

Phenomenal service, very clean, down to earth, helpful staff. Time flies and I couldnt believe how little I felt while getting my tattoo. Rob is an amazing artist and incredibly gentle.

Rob did a cover up on my back and now I wouldn’t let any body else touch my skin with Ink. I had 0 doubts after seeing the sketch he drew up. Very talented artist recommend anybody getting a tattoo to see rob at the parlor.

Absolutely the best shop. Nicole is awesome and does great tattoos. This entire staff makes you feel welcome. No reason to go anywhere else.

Stumbled upon this shop by chance. Jon was extremely great with my walk in today. It was quick and easy. I loved the design of the space (something that is important to me). Would highly recommend.

I wont go anywhere else for a piercing or a tattoo. The staff is super friendly. Ive never experienced the care or precision that goes into piercings and tattoos anywhere else.

Boutique experience start to finish. Staff was professional and made the entire experience much more comfortable than any other tattoo or piercing place I have ever been in.

Ahhhh such a great place! I was really impressed by how clean it was and how through the sanitizing process was especially since I was getting my septum pierced. Lovely atmosphere and staff is great I’d 10/10 recommend !!

Great artists in a beautiful shoppe. Easy access from Allentown area. Have been getting g work done here for about 2 years. The only complaint is that I dont live closer.

Loved Mike. He did great artwork, was calm and relaxing atmosphere. Great place to go. I’ll be back for sure.

Jon was amazing. He was a super nice guy and the tattoo didnt even hurt. Also, he gave me a sticker so thats 5 point more in my book.

I just got my nose pierced and james was so nice! really helpful and i will definitely be back to get more piercings!

Got my septum and nose pierced here and they felt amazing! By the next day, not even, they felt like Ive had them for years!

I came to get a tongue piercing and the owner of the shop didn’t know what he was doing he gave me a 14 gauge bar instead of giving me a longer bar to accommodate for the swelling there was a lot of complications with having a 14 gauge bar and a swollen tongue I would not recommend getting a tongue piercing done at the shop.

Comfortable environment, great experience, beautiful jewelry choices. 10/10.

I had a great experience I got tatted by Nicole and she did amazing work on me and friend the price was way better than I expected and if Im ever back up this way Ill def be back

Nicole is a wonderfully talented artist! Beautiful decor, comfortable, fair pricing. Highly recommended!

The person who did my piercing was so kind and I loved the whole place! I will definitely be going back!

Very clean and beautiful building. Staff are very professional and talk to you about what exactly you want so you are never disappointed. Appointments are needed though.

Check out their fb page to see their work. Enough said. Without a doubt the most professional tattoo/piercing parlour in Buffalo.

Very clean, very cool- friendly, talented staff and a great selection of piercing jewelry that looks upscale rather than hot-topic-esque

Staff is polite and informative and the shop is very well decorated and maintained.

Oh what a super nice place!! Super clean and James was great with My nose! Recommend them highly!!

James is a great piercer, very friendly and informative through the whole process
