I am so happy with how my experience went and how my piercing turned out! I had been looking for a place to get my 3rd ear piercing but I was too intimidated to go to a tattoo place or other piercing studios in the area. This place had the best reviews and there’s a reason for that! The owner made me feel so comfortable, like it was a friend doing the piercing. He was able to take me as a walk-in in between two appointments which I’m so grateful for. He’s super friendly and talkative, and explained the whole process and what aftercare would look like. Everything was very clean, and I did not feel rushed at all. For the two ear lobe piercings it was $190 which included the high-quality jewelry, and aftercare supplies. I will never go anywhere else for piercings, and I highly recommend this place for everyone! 😁

Got my nose pierced today and it was the absolute best experience ever. Wael was SO friendly and so knowledgeable and made me feel completely at ease. Have had the piercing for almost 11 hours now and have had literally no pain. He gave me the supplies I would need to take care of it over the next week or so. I absolutely love it and am so glad I happened upon this place on google. Will definitely go back to him if I decide on getting anything else! HIGHLY recommend this place! Would give 100 stars if I could.

The sweetest guy who was so helpful! I went in just to change a piercing and we ended up changing all of my facial piercings out and I seriously couldn’t stop looking at myself and smiling after. He’s so sanitary and professional and better than any other spot I’ve been to. Already planning on coming back.

Took my 7 year old daughter here to get her ears pierced for the first time. It was a great experience, he squeezed us in and even though we did not have an appointment I felt that he did not rush and thoroughly explained everything he was doing to me and my daughter and was very patient and understanding with my daughter who was so so nervous. I will definitely be recommending this shop to anyone looking for a piercing in the future.

Absolutely will recommend to everyone! I went here to get my nips done and he was AMAZING! I have an inverted one and he made it come back out and look perfect 😍 he explained everything in depth before the piercing and made sure I was comfortable before continuing. Absolutely will come back for more!!I also mainly chose to come here because of the fact he was a nurse and I have a tendency to pass out from piercings but he made sure I didn’t even feel woozy before letting me up! He was super patient and amazing!

Really its a 3.5 - 3.8 range. He has a great selection of quality jewlery and can do an assortment of piercings. Just be ready to listen to him talk about his career, piercings hes done, how hes better at it than other piercers, and how your other piercings were all done wrong...for a WHILE. My rook is healing fine, but i will say it was one of the most painful piercings ive ever had and took the longest for the pain to go away (even more than my nipple piercings). I will say that the shop is clean and he is knowledgeable, but a bit overwhelming. I also didnt love having to sit on the table with a needle in my ear while he paused to talked about another piercing hed done

Review №13

100/10 recommend Wael! He is super knowledgeable, professional, polite, and skilled. I got my septum done. This was my first piercing really and he made sure I was comfortable and explained things very well! He makes sure you know how to take care of it, and offers follow ups if needed! The piercing fits amazing! So well some friends thought I had had it for awhile and better than some snap filters even!

Review №14

I got a nose piercing and the service was amazing. I had the feeling Wael was taking excellent care of me. It barely hurt. After a couple days I couldnt even feel anything anymore. He was so caring and thoughtful. I would never go to someone else to get another piercing. Total recommendation!!

It quite literally felt like a pinch. He was gentle and explained the whole process to make sure I knew what would happen. the peircings were straight forward and I would 100% reccomend this place for your peircings.

Review №16

I lost my helix earring and scrambled to get another one. This is the 3rd place I tried. Most places do not have a good selection on hand. Wael Hasson gave me a few choices and mentioned he was a nurse and had gotten into piercings because of his wife. I believe that she had some issues afterward, and he realized that as a nurse, he could do a better job. Ive had my piercing since Jan 2021, but Wael noticed it looked irritated. He cleaned the ear and the piercing, and before he placed the sterilized earring in, he explained that the composition wouldnt turn color on me and that he designed it so I wouldnt lose it. If you want precisión in a clean environment with a professional, I recommend the Body Art Salon for all your piercings.

Review №17

Came in with an infected nose piercing about a week ago and Wael helped clean it up, get me a new piercing, and proper aftercare. It was a little pricey but from the infection, I learned that you need to splurge when it comes to piercing, Wael used to be a nurse and I completely trust him with sanitation and after following his aftercare advice for about a week, my nose feels great! Excellent experience and I felt very comfortable and safe in the shop.

Wael is absolutely phenomenal. Extremely personable, professional & CLEAN! Wael explains everything in detail from beginning to end. This is a safe space. Waels extensive professional knowledge base from being an ICU nurse for decades comforts you in knowing that your piercing will be placed with love and care.Ive seen Wael for all of my piercing needs since 2014 and I wouldnt dare see anyone else.Hes accessible by his phone number on the website. I contact him by text every time.

Im SO glad I found this place. After having 2 bad experiences with another well known shop in SD, I went to Body Art Salon and Wael did an amazing job with my new septum piercing. Wael has years of experience and formal medical training. He carries custom jewelry and has an excellent bedside manner. I plan to return for future jewelry and piercings. Thank you, Wael! Youre awesome😁😁

Review №21

My first ever piercing (navel) and definitely one of the best decisions I’ve made :) was so nervous coming in but Wael was an absolute godsend, so professional and reassuring with a medical background. The operation was so flawless (no blood, very quick and he talked me through every step). It’s been about a month and I’ve had no complications, pain whatsoever. Thank you so much Wael! 🫶

Review №22

Overall great experience here. I got my first real piercing here and it went great (septum). I came in very nervous. Wayle calmed me down, as well as his two dogs. He was very informative and made it very clear to me that he truly cared about his job and his clients. I don’t live in the area either and he even offered to send me some jewelry! Great man and great shop. Don’t settle going to a tattoo shop! Go here and you will have the best experience :)

Review №23

Absolutely an amazing experience! Hes the only person I would ever trust to do my piercings! If I ever move to another state I will come back here just for him... before doing piercings he was an RN, so he knows the anatomy and how to keep everything 100% sterile.. I plan to return for the migraine piercing he offers to see if that will finally give me the relief Ive been searching for for years! Thank you Wael!!

Review №24

My first time getting pierced with a needle and he made me feel comfortable. I felt safe knowing that he is a registered nurse and has actually studied the anatomy and knows what can be pierced safely. He talked me through the process step by step and about the aftercare process. With your piercing you get an aftercare kit, so you don’t have to spend more money on top of the piercing. He cares about his clients and makes himself available for questions before and even during your healing process. Very happy with piercing little to no pain; only part that kind of hurt was when he put jewelry in but that expected. No bleeding and the little pain I had wore off about an hour to two later. Highly recommend!!!

The building is unassuming with very little fanfare but do not be deterred. For inside is a lovely and kind spirit, and very knowledgeable piercer named Wael. He explained the process from beginning to end, calmed my daughters nerves and seamlessly completed her nose piercing. Highly recommend!

Ive had more than a dozen piercings in my lifetime and I can honestly say this is the most personable and sterile environment of all the locations Ive received piercing services from. It is evident of the care and attention to detail given to each piercing is a passion here, and the knowledge of proper placement, quality jewelry, and sanitation procedures are abundantly known as well. On-site parking is a plus as well.

If you want to get a piercing, look no further! Wael is phenomenal and very professional. His knowledge of health and care is unmatched. The quality of his piercings is a diamond in the rough; you are unlikely to find another with his talent and skill. I am very glad to have found his practice and I would absolutely return for any other piercings.

Review №33

After doing a lot of research & thinking about this a long time, lets just say I went there today to get one piercing & left with 3. It is SO comforting to know that Wael is an RN & treats what he does professionally & for what it is a minorly invasive, but still invasive procedure that requires care & respect. He took his time with me, answered all my questions, &, since what I had done involved more intimate areas, made me feel completely comfortable. I will be taking family & friends there in the future.

Wael is amazing. I got an eyebrow piercing, then came back and he fixed my industrail, and i came back a 3rd time for 2 cartilage piercings. Everything looks amazing, my eyebrow healed in less than 2 weeks, and it was an incredible and pleasant experience. I wont go anywhere else.

Review №47

This was my very first piercing ever! Wael was very confident in his expertise and technique and at the same time he was quite reassuring about my fear and trepidation. He skillfully answered all my questions and assured me that I was going to be happy with the results. He was correct. I am very happy with how easy, how relatively painless, and how I didnt shed a single drop of blood from a fairly large gauge piercing. I was able to walk to my motorcycle and ride home without any pain nor any concern for the fresh guiche piercing that sat right between me and the seat. Thank you Wael! You did a magnificent job.Lets do another one!! Hahaha
