Axiom Body Piercing Studio

Davo was super friendly and knowledgeable. He made sure I understood the procedure and aftercare. He pierced my septum perfectly (which is an accomplishment as my nose is decently crooked)! When I realized my nose was a bit too big for the jewelry, he was more than happy to size up my jewelry to make it more comfortable. He was also just great to talk with! I highly recommend coming here for piercings!

Davo is amazing! Talks you through everything hes doing, gives you all the after care instructions and will answer any questions well after the piercing is done. My peurcung from him healed better than other Ive had! Will definitely go back to him!!

Dave has been wonderful! Working with Axiom was my second piercing experience and Dave was nothing but caring and professional during my initial piercing and subsequent follow up visits as I needed replacement jewlery and glass jewlery for an MRI.Highly recomend him for your piercing needs.

Davo was excellent at explaining the whole procedure and what to expect with aftercare, after explaining, he made a point to ask if I had any questions which I appreciated. All questions were answered throughly. With getting a VCH piercing, I was expecting there to be some awkwardness, but that wasn’t the case, everything was straight business and I felt comfortable about the whole procedure

Great place! Super nice and extremely knowledgeable, I felt instantly comfortable while DaVo helped me pick out the earring, what a great selection! Had a helix piercing done by Shannon and she was perfect, great personality and knows her stuff. I highly recommend and look forward to coming back!

I normally do not leave reviews but I have had plenty piercers in my life and this was a great experience.I had gotten my nose re-pierced by Shannon, she was AWESOME and she also changed out some of my old ear piercings as well! She was easy to talk to and made me feel very comfortable and even Davo was in there as well again very easy to talk to and very helpful and dry sense of humor. Highly recommend plus great jewelry and great pricing for them as well!

I got pierced here in may and had a fabulous experience!!! However, at the end of my healing process I did replace my jewelry and I did have a reaction. I was freaking out and even tried to put the old one in and I couldn’t. I called ahead and they were happy to help me! I came in and instantly they were super nice and helped a girl out. Devo is so patient and has a great fun personality and never made this experience uncomfortable. He was amazing at getting my situation all figured out and took the extra time to continue to educate me about other possible issues I could have and how to avoid them. I highly recommend them, they are full of great personality and expertise!!!

I got my septum pierced. Shannon, the lady that did my piercing, was amazing! She talked me through everything and told me every step as she was doing it. Very friendly and very quickly done! Will definitely go there again for piercings!

This studio is awesome! Very welcoming environment, super clean, and they work quick. Not to mention their jewelry selection is amazing and interchangeable!DaVo did my tongue piercing and resizing and both sessions I felt comfortable. Will definitely be back!

I got my septum pierced my Shannon and she was really sweet and funny!!! I’ll try to remember to let her know when Matilda the Musical is going on!!!! I’m definitely coming back for other piercings whenever I need them!! :D

Scheduled an appointment for my 14 year old to get her lobes pierced. I really appreciate that DaVo didnt talk down to her but was very thorough in explaining everything. The process was painless for her and shes healing nicely. No redness or swelling like shes had previously. We had great conversation and great music to listen to. Made for an enjoyable visit. Definitely will be back.

Was pierced by DaVo this past weekend, he was absolutely incredible. I was extremely nervous and he does a wonderful job of talking you through it. I am so happy with my piercings, he will get all of my future business and recommendations. He was 100% professional and made me feel very comfortable. Very appreciated! Thank you!

I had an appointment with DaVo tonight for my nipples to be pierced and honestly it was the best experience I ever had. I felt very comfortable, all my questions were answered and any concerns were address. It was a very welcoming atmosphere, very clean and the whole process was done quickly but effectively.I Highly recommend Axiom B

Shannon was amazing. My daughter and I came in for nasal piercings. She did a thorough job of e planning everything to us and answering our questions, she made our time there enjoyable and made my daughter feel very comfortable and less nervous.

I went in for a very personal piercing, I was nervous but excited.. David was so friendly and totally professional- sensed my anxiety and put me at ease right away. My piercings were done quickly with great care and attention to detail and they look fantastic! Could not be more pleased.

My husband and I were pierced this weekend by DaVo. We’ve been getting piercings in DSM for the past ten years - and I wish I had come to Axiom sooner. The knowledge, help, and kindness DaVo provided was next level. I felt comfortable, safe, and empowered with all the information needed to make my choice and also care for my piercing afterward. I would recommend everyone I know who is into body modification to make Axiom their studio of choice. DaVo also runs a YouTube channel that I’ve been able to access and consult afterward, which has been a great educational tool. Can’t speak highly enough. 10/10.

Ill start with the positives because most of the experience was great. A few friends and I got pierced by DaVo and his apprentice. They clearly both knew what they were doing and were super thorough with explaining everything to us. They made sure we were comfortable with placement and showed us the sterile procedure to ensure everything was clean. When his apprentice accidentally missed part of the piercing process he walked her through the mistake and explained what to do differently next time which was great to see. Afterward they explained the cleaning process and he has some good videos on youtube for further explanation. Pricing was good too for what we got.We would have given them a five stars if he wasnt so demeaning/conceited upon walking into the store. We clearly were timid to even walk in and ask for the piercing, but he started by interrupting us and telling us how dumb the name of the Shen Men piercing was that we were requesting. He also proceeded to make fun of people that get the piercing for acupuncture effects-anxiety/migraines. He did make a great point that he is not an acupuncturist (and I assume thats what he was intending to mean with his initial comment) but I feel bad for anyone who would walk in for that piercing and hear that right before getting that piercing. His apprentice managed to lighten the mood a bit and that seemed to soften his attitude as well. By the end of the piercing session he was MUCH more pleasant to talk to and polite with us.Overall, DaVo and his apprentice did a great job on our piercings, I would just recommend working on the customer service side of approaching new clients much to seem less intimidating/egocentric. I would still highly recommend him.

DaVo was awesome! I walked in, no appointment to get my nose pierced. Got in right away on a Saturday. He explained everything about the healing process, After care, and made me feel very comfortable. Very reasonable price.

Davos personality is super dry and he literally absorbs everything the customer says before regurgitating a sandpaper response. While his bedside manner isnt everything, his ability and knowledge is: hes efficient, quick, and knows his piercing locations....I would have liked to have been able to have braced myself.... but it all happened so quickly.

Did not have to wait long after checking in for my appointment (that I made that same day!). Shannon and her boss were great with explaining things to a first timer. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants a piercing

Staff Very friendly and made me feel comfortable, very informative, clean environment very fun experience, studio looked really put together I like the variety of piercings, Shannon who did my septum and eyebrow piercing did very good, I liked both staff. Price was pretty decent for what you get!

Stooped by and got my eyebrow pierced. Last minute decision but the piercer was super knowledgeable and kind. Clean, professional and great priced. Highly recommend

The piercer himself was very friendly, but there were many red flags in which I encountered.#1. He smoked a cigarette right before piercing my lip, which is okay if you wash your hands and wear gloves but looks unprofessional#2. He put a numbing cream on my lip before piercing, which Ive never had done before in my life (and Ive had over 30 piercings) so I thought that was highly unusual, and it didnt even work.#3. He pierced my lip crooked and made me bleed excessively, claimed it was because my lip was at an angle, but after havent a second look, he just pierced it extremely wrong.#4. Made me use a mouthwash right after piercing my lip (again, never have had to do that before and you arent supposed to!)#5. Didnt have the size jewelry needed for my piercing, so I had to size up.#6. He isnt APP certified and is very outdated on his techniques#7. On the website, he offers getting a lip piercing done with a ring, which any reputable piercer knows that you cannot put a lip ring in until after about a year of being pierced.All in all, he is very outdated in his techniques and his prices are extremely high, with low quality jewelry. Do not recommend.Please use findasafepiercer.com to find a professional who is APP certified.

My partner and I have both gotten pierced by Davo. He is awesome and professional. The shop is super clean. Everyone is super nice. I highly recommend this place for piercings.

Got my industrial piercing there. He was nice and very knowledgeable. He was very thorough with aftercare instructions. Ill definitely come back when Im back in town.

DaVo is amazing. If you want a hole in something, he is the guy for the job. He is extremely professional and friendly. Also, he is always listening to the best music.

Extremely knowledgeable. Great staff. Clean. and when the thought goes thru your head about the pricing being higher than others just remember you get what you pay for. Therefore if youre looking for cheap, mediocre work this is not the place for you.

The ABSOLUTE BEST piercing studio in Des Moines Iowa! A+. Highly recommend. You will Not be disappointed in the Quality services.

Davo was good at his job but he should really watch his remarks. It’a very unprofessional to call Italians “white trash” as his customer is italian.

I had an appointment with DaVo tonight for a industrial piercing and honestly it was the best experience Ive ever had. I felt comfortable, all my questions were answered and any concerns were address. Great atmosphere, very clean and the whole process was done quickly but effectively. Highly recommend Axiom Body Piercing!

Absolutely loved the environment of this shop, Shannon was so kind and made sure I was comfortable through the whole appointment!

Went in for my first piercing and they were great. I’ll definitely come back if I end up wanting another.

Very knowledgeable and good selection of jewelry, extremely professional will change jewelry if needed and can get replacement balls for threaded jewelry.

Nice to have met Davo! Thank you for your help with my new earrings and suggestions!

Super nice and chill ! Would definitely recommend for your first piercing. got done quick and explained everything thoroughly.

Davo does so good always. Quick and easy and super good at explaining and answering all my questions. Will be back and reccomending them to others

Super nice, down to earth guy, clean and stylin place, knows his stuff. Great experience, wont go any place else! You wont have a better experience anywhere, at least not in my opinion.

Amazing place to get piercings. Smart and know what theyre doing. Great advice too

Incredibly professional and friendly. David was able to answer all my questions. And made me feel very at ease about the entire process.

Westley is the 🐐. Great artist, awesome dude. The whole staff is very friendly as well. Overall great atmosphere.

This place is great. They are professional and friendly and everything is clean and sterile. They have a good vibe and they are all around awesome!

Had my 3 daughters and myself in for nose piercings quick easy and very knowledgeable. Will return for future piercings.

Very disappointed with my industrial piercing I got here. At first I was hoping it was just swelling. But it was placed very badly. Not anywhere near the crease of my cartilage. Just a huge waste of money.

Wonderful piercing studio. Davo is very knowledgeable and professional as is his trainee

Quick, clean , precise. 100 % professional. Only place I will ever go. Amazing experience.

I felt very cared for by a badass group of good humans. Ill be back.

Educated piercer . Loved the fact he gave me all kinds of info on how to care for my piercing !

DaVo was very courteous. Professional experience. Thanks

Great service and informative piercer. Hoping to come back soon
