Great place! A little bit of a wait time but I didn’t have an appointment so that was to be expected. Everyone is very knowledgeable and the piercing went well! Jamie was quick, friendly, and helpful! Will be back for the next piercing!

My daughter wanted a piercing for her birthday, and she picked Fraidy Cats over all the other options. Jamie and the staff were absolutely amazing. They were great at walking my daughter through the whole process, made her comfortable, and empowered her through the experience. The shop is calming, decorated in retro-pop girl-power decor, and is LGTBQIA+ welcoming and supportive. Well absolutely come here again!

Jamie is so unbelievably amazing. She is kind, knowledgeable and truly cares about her clients. My daughter said she wants a piercing soon too and she will only be seeing Jamie. I trust her completely to take care of me and anyone I love.

I just got my nose piercings stretched out. I was nervous. But the woman named Jaime (sorry if it’s misspelled) really was gentle on me & walked me through it. I’m so happy I had her do my piercing! Definitely will go there again! I highly recommend to come this place!

I recently got my eyebrow pierced here, the studio is cool and cozy in a peaceful, endearing, little part of town. The staff are so kind and friendly, I really felt cared for and safe. The piercing went perfect and is healing well. Theyre very clean and considerate. I have disabilities and felt completely respectfully welcome. Highly recommend!

I went to Fraidy Cats for a jewelry change and piercing. Jaime is an expert; she explained everything throughout my appointment and was incredibly kind. The entire staff was wonderful and knowledgeable . It was easy to make an online appointment but they also take walk-ins. There is plenty of street parking. Overall, I had a great experience and will be back!!

I cant say enough good things about Fraidy Cats! Jamie goes above and beyond to make sure you feel safe and comfy, and her kindness, patience, and expertise is unmatched. Shes done four of my piercings so far and theyve all turned out beautifully. The shop is spotless, theres a wide variety of jewelery, and the prices are extremely reasonable. Go to Fraidy Cats, you wont regret it!

Jamie is very knowledgeable and takes time to go though exactly what needs to be done for after care so I felt confident in doing the after care even though its been 20 years since my last piercing and 40 since I had my ears pierced (after care has changed a lot). She also had a good selection of high quality jewelry and took time to make sure we got the perfect set for my daughter

Jamie is amazing at what she does! She makes me feel so safe whenever I go to get a new piercing— she talks through every step, answers every question and treats you with such care. I’ve been to a lot of piercers, and she is the best. Her expertise is unmatched and I will always recommend her. She also has an amazing jewelry selection.

I took my daughter to get her ears pierced at Claire’s, and they got infected twice! I learned about Fraidy Cats and brought my daughter there, and am so happy I did. Jamie was personal, clear, and competent. We had no problems this time with infection!! Thank you so much Jamie!! We highly recommend her if you’re considering getting a piercing.

First time. They made it so comfortable and fun! Already planning on going back. Would rate even more starts if I could. Seriously, the whole experience was great. The people there have a genuine energy that took away any sort of worry. Very knowledgeable, fun, and kind

Jamie was professional and knowledgeable as well as very human and kind. She helped me select the jewelry size that would work best with my piercing (a nostril stud - I had been imagining that I might have wanted a larger piece but I decided to trust her judgment and was not disappointed) and expertly positioned the piercing on my nose. She performed the piercing and jewelry placement itself quickly and with minimal pain (I’ve gotten this piercing done before so I know the jewelry placement in particular can be a little fiddlier). She also explained the aftercare with more detail and care than I’ve seen before. She was so welcoming during the process it made the experience a very positive one. Also, her jewelry selection is very high quality. I got an opal nose stud and you could tell they were quality, real stones both by eye (I’d been looking for an opal nose stud for quite some time) and by the fact that not all the stones in one size category are the exact same size. Highly recommend this place.

OK, I never leave reviews unless I am above and beyond impressed or seriously disappointed. For Fraidy Cats, I can not say enough good things about this business and Jamie. She is a very professional practitioner and she is amazing! My daughter and I both wanted to get piercings and I wanted to make sure we went to someone who really knew what they were doing. Not a place that the cashier slips out from the counter and does it occasionally. I read the reviews on google for Fraidy Cats and our experienced lived up to all the hype. We walked in and the place was clean, organized and well taken care of. Jamie introduced herself and walked us through the process, aftercare and jewelry. My daughter had really wanted this piercing but had some anxiety going into it. Jamie put her at ease and explained every step along the way. Jamie spent a significant time just ensuring that the placement of the piercings were marked as perfectly as possible and when the time came to actually pierce my daughter, my daughter hadnt even realized that Jamie actually performed the piercing and was done. Jamie was so sweet and caring and took good care of us. I have gotten so many compliments on my piercing and If anyone asks me about it, I always encourage them to go see Jamie. I just wished I knew about Jamie and Fraidy Cats sooner.

I love Jaime, Tom & Fraidy Cats! Cant recommend them enough. Me and my three cousins walked in on a Saturday night hoping to get piercings on a whim. Jaime & Tom accommodated us happily and were so professional, efficient, informative and kind. They went above and beyond to make us comfortable and treat us well. All positive energy and smiles!! Thanks Jaime!!

Jamie is a true professional and has a passion for her craft! After seeing on her website that she had walk-in availability (she provides regular updates on her homepage), I arrived at Fraidy Cats and was able to get one of the walk-in appointments for a double earlobe piercing. Jamie was extremely thorough with aftercare instructions before the piercing. She has a very light touch and both ears were finished with minimal discomfort. I am so happy with the placement and look. The results and experience I had at Frady Cats are a testament to Jamies 20+ years of piercing experience. I would recommend Jamie and Fraidy Cats to anyone searching for a piercer they can trust!

Review №26

Came here for the first time today for advice about healing piercings I had done at other shops and Jamie was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and helpful, even though the piercings were done elsewhere she still put in the time and effort to try and help me. She recommended a couple different products and explained every single one, instead of just trying to sell me things to get money. I’ve been to 4 other shops in the area over the past couple of years and no one was as thoughtful and genuinely caring as her!! I will definitely be coming back here for my next piercing.

Review №27

I had a great experience here. The shop was very informative of aftercare as well as jewelry. They were clean and made sure to follow guidelines. The piercer made sure we were as comfortable as we could be during our experience. They are very knowledgeable about what they do. I would return again if I decide to get more piercings.

Best ear piercing service ever received. Jamie, the owner was very professional, courteous and extremely patient throughout the entire process. She made me feel comfortable, and she showed me that she really cared about the pre and post piercing and the healing process. She even let me know that I can come in anytime if I have issues with my piercing or email her for anything. Best part is, she gave me an aftercare mini kit that included salt, emu oil, and a lollipop. I would highly recommend Fraidy Cats!

I had a fabulous time at fraidy cats! I was terrified to get my nose pierced but Tom and Jamie made it SUCH an amazing fun experience! Shout out to them for dealing with my nervous chatter!! I would recommend fraidy cats to anyone looking to get pierced, tattooed, and have an amazing experience! They both truly treated me like family, I will never forget the experience they both gave me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Tom and Jamie 🫶🏻🩷 Thank you for the laugh and the gorgeous piercing! 💎 (if your debating coming here: DO IT)

Jamie is the best! She’s been piercing for me for years and she always does a fantastic job. She’s knowledgeable, precise, kind, and easy to talk to! She is clearly so passionate about her craft and has spent many years perfecting it. I always feel uplifted after visiting and getting pierced by her. She has my highest recommendations!

Super patient and respectful with my kid. Jamie was amazing and professional. She explained each part of the process and allowed my kid to choose which was wonderful as a mom to witness. The locale is clean and personal. The aftercare process was well explained which was great for me to have up-to-date information. I cant thank Jamie enough for this positive experience!

Review №33

Just came out of a wonderful experience at Fraidy Cats. Walk in around 6:30 pm on a Friday night (when she closes at 7). Greeted with an open, friendly smile instantly putting me at ease. I’m a 40 something white lady with only my ears pierced and there was literally zero skepticism or judgement from owner, Jamie. Did I have to wait a while? Sure, but also I literally walked in 1/2 hour before she was supposed to close. She could easily have told me to come back but she stayed and fit me in.The shop is super cute, clean, bright with interesting art mixed with black cat themed decor.The process was thoughtful and thorough and Jamie’s bedside manner was comforting. She clearly knows what she is doing and loves it!!I walked out feeling like a badass with my new nose piercing and, even better, equipped with the knowledge of what to expect next and who to turn to if I have questions.

Got my lip pierced here today and it was an awesome experience. Jamie was amazingly nice and went through everything and the aftercare super clearly.

Review №38

I LOVED my experience here. My two friends and I got our nipples pierced. 2 of us are not new to piercings, and one had only had her ears. Jaimee was so sweet, thorough, and completely calmed all of our nerves. We went one at a time and then joined for our last friend to add some extra support. The pain will be different for everyone, but she will make it lowest possible for you. In my experience, I would literally rate it 1 or 2/ 10. It was over before I even knew it, felt more so of a pressure rather than pain. She was so thorough on the placing so I would know they’re placed right, even, and had me check multiple times for my approval. She also sat down and walked through aftercare and gave us samples of what she recommended plus a free pair of jewelry for piercings we already had as a little gift! I could not be happier, she’s the best piercer I have ever had (9 piercings here), and she is so sweet. Any other piercing I get will be with her. Trust all the good reviews, she’s got a gift for her passion and it shows through her work!

Besides having so much knowledge and general understandings of piercings, Jamie and her husband are just amazing human beings. Vibes are immaculate and the energy in the shop is unmatchable.

Amazing experience! I was hesitant on getting three piercings at one time, but Jamie was extremely professional and broke down every little part of the process so I felt comfortable. Jewelry selection was large and the cleanliness of the shop was pristine! I will definitely be back in the future for more piercings. Jamie also makes herself available to you for any questions or concerns after you have been pierced which I found genuine and a sign that her 20+ years of experience really meant something!

After hearing such good things about Fraidy Cats, I went this week to get my nose pierced. I had to end up going by myself and I was very nervous, but Jamie instantly took away any nerves I had and made me feel so comfortable. She was SO sweet and informative. She really knows what she’s talking about and is definitely passionate for her business and her customer’s health and comfort. The place is decorated so cute and I’ve never experience such wonderful customer service. I will make sure to recommend her to everyone! Not to mention she had the perfect placement for my nose piercing and I am completely obsessed with what a wonderful job she did. If you are contemplating going anywhere else besides Fraidy Cats, DON’T! ☺️ Jamie is the best!

One of the best piercing experiences Ive ever had. Jamie is wonderful. She runs the whole shop by herself so there was a wait but I felt like it was worth it for the level of care and passion she has. I got four piercings and I love all of them! Jamie took her time to make sure all of my piercings were aligned perfectly to both of our liking. Ill definitely be going back for any other piercings I want in the future. ❤️

Jamie is thorough, professional, friendly, and knowledgable. Her shop is clean, comfortable, and surrounded with her lovely artwork. She made me feel like I was her first priority, and I have no doubt that she does the same for her other clients! She took her time marking where she would pierce, and made sure I knew what she was doing as she did it. She also gave detailed information on after care, and asks that clients email her a photo of their piercings in one month so that she can ensure they are healing properly. She is dedicated to her craft, and is a lovely person with whom to interact. I will never go anywhere but Fraidy Cats!

Jamie is amazing. Her prices are reasonable and she takes the time to educate you about how to properly take care of your new piercing.

I have recommended friends to her shoppe and none of them have been dissatisfied or disappointed. I can’t wait to go back and get my next piercing done.

I’ve had multiple piercings done here, and I recommend this place to everyone! She is so informative and welcoming. She also is never judgmental: she offers her opinion on placement/jewelry/whatever, but is totally open to your ideas if they’re different without seeming condescending. She is thorough and precise and quick. I tried another piercing establishment in the twin cities after having gone to Fraidy Cats’, but never have tried another shop after that because the service and craftsmanship here was so excellent. I will continue to return to Fraidy Cats’ as long as I live in this state.

I went in to purchase a larger nose stud after emailing with Jamie who is very responsive. Fantastic customer service! She was even so kind as to put the nose stud in for me. Talked to me through the whole process great way to keep me calm . So clean and sanitary which is a big plus. Will be back!

Ive been going to Fraidy Cats for a couple of years now. Ive recommended all of my friends who want to get piercings done to go to J.Me, shes nice, funny, and has a good sense of humor. I love coming to Fraidy cats because I feel like Im in good hands every time. J.Me has done multiple piercings on me and I feel safe and comfortable with her doing them. I dont go to anybody else but her. The shop is clean, open, and friendly. It doesnt have the creepy vibe you sometimes get when you go to other piercings shops. Fraidy Cats is very welcoming and know what they are doing 100% of the time. Future piercings of mine will be done by J.Me :)

I got a rook piercing and the owner (Jamie) was beyond kind. I came in about a half hour before closing which I felt bad about, but she received me happily nonetheless. She was very helpful and knowledgeable and friendly. Best piercing experience I’ve ever had!

I went here years ago to get my tongue pierced. I love it so much so I went back to get my septum done about a year ago and went again to get my nipples done the other day. I will continue going here for every piercing and will recommend her as well. She is so kind and will talk you through every thing to help your piercing be safe and well healed. I love every piercing that I have gotten from her and her confidence helped me be confident when I was nervous. Honestly wish I could rate her 10/5. I love this shop

A couple days ago I had gotten my lip pierced. I was nervous of course, but Jamie and Tom were so funny that all the nerves went away. I highly recommend this place to anyone.

Jme was such a great piercer and all around fun! She made getting my daith quick and easy and practically painless. Its only been one day since I got it and I already feel a lot less pain. She goes over the care and keeps you focused on her voice rather than the needle. Great great piercer! Will definitely go back! and recommend her!

I picked J.Me and Fraidy Cat because of the outstanding reviews. They are well deserved! Everything from cleaning, jewelry choices, and after care was explained in detail. So glad we made the drive to this shop! I will likely bring my daughter here for her next piercing.

Review №118

I had my nose pierced years ago and had to let it go.It was time to go a new. So I explained my previous piercing and plans.She laid out for me all options (steel vs titanium) and the benefits and drawbacks of bothShe was fair and honest and helped me make the right choiceFurther the information for after care was superior. The shop was clean and the privacy available was on point. (Previous piercing was a chair in the middle if the shop.A lot of prep, a lot of conversation, and great after care information. This was an excellent experience- and I fully intend to make the drive from Rochester for future piercing.

So incredibly kind and caring! My teenage daughter had two previous (mall) pierceing experiences that ended in terrible infections and lopsided holes. Jamie was warm, explained what likely happened and all the while made my daughter feel good about herself and our decision to go to Fraidy Cats. EVERY mom/dad wondering about ear piercing should bring their kids here!!

Jaime was awesome and so quick! She squeezed me in last minute for a daith piercing yesterday. I was terrified and her assistant was so helpful too! She even filled me up with juice when I was feeling faint :) I highly recommend Fraidy Cat to anyone looking for a piercing in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area! And I’ll let you all know if my migraines are helped with this piercing!

I went in to get a consult if my earlobes could be re-pierced. I had them pierced when I was a child but they closed when I took the earrings out for chemistry lab in college. She was so knowledgeable and professional I immediately felt at ease in her office. I didnt need to re-pierce my ears at all! She was able to show me that my holes had just shrunk. She fitted me with new stud earrings in no time flat! I highly recommend her services. The pricing is fair and she offers a variety of different piercings (studs,hoops, rings, etc.) to chose from in different cost categories.

Review №130

I love love love this place. I got my first piercing (other than earlobes) here and Ive fell in love. I will come back for everything from jewelry to another piercing. I literally refer her to anyone who will listen.The outside is a little intimidating but as soon as you walk in, it changes to a welcoming place. The piercings are affordable and shes ridiculously clean. I spent about $100 including my nose piercing, and all the after care products. I like her so much that I ended up giving her a $10 tip because honestly she fully deserved it.

I have gone here for my lobes, industrial, and eyebrow. J-me, the owner, and Tom who man the front; are both super exceptional. Marie also works the front desk on days that Tom is not in, and she is super sweet. Their front desk service alone makes it worth it to stop in. Friendly and knowledgable about piercings, I will never go anywhere else but there for my body mod needs. I highly reccomend them! Marie also works the front desk on days that Tom is not in, and she is super sweet. Everyone there is great! J-me is super fast when it comes to handling the needle and I have never had any pain at all. Everything healed up super well!

I got my nostril pierced with a ring (last week) but she was nice enough to show me the issues that people would have with a ring but she said she wouldnt stop me. I went to the back to get it pierced, it didnt hurt really and she was really careful. Once it was done, after readjusting it because she was a perfectionist haha but she gave me all after care and other things I can for it. I took a lot of care for it and have no keloid so far, shes super helpful and Ill be going there soon for a septum!
