Best Piercing Courses Raleigh Near Me

Jamie P.: Got my navel pierced here and I love it! Rikki and Christian are super sweet and professional 💖Update: The piercing started rejecting after like a month, RIP. I had suspected that a floating navel would suit me better & I should've listened to my gut instinct.Christian did check to see how my navel looked while I was sitting down, but I quickly realized that the bottom ball would get squashed when I would slouch or bend over to pick something up 😔

Alden Sears: Waits are short, all the staff are super friendly, and the piercers are incredibly professional. I've always gotten the exact placement I wanted without any concern for mistakes, infections, whatever! Wouldn't get future piercings at any other spot :)

B Gomes: My favorite place to get a piercing and/or get new jewelry! They've got a great staff and the piecer is a member of APP. 10/10 would recommend ✨

Rochelle Connallon: It was amazing!@

BP Reynolds: They were great. I had a hard time finding a parking place and had to call them, and by the time I got in I was a bit stressed. They were super calm and friendly and the place was clean. I was getting a piercing so they had lots of choices. I plan to go back in the next week or two.

Abi Turner (Buzbuz9): Had a very pleasant experience. Everyone was very perfessional and it all felt very clean and well kept. Rikki was an amazing piercer. I got my second set of lobes and my friend got a helix and belly button peircing. Pricing was clear and everything went smoothly and quickly.

Maya: Rikki has pierced many of my piercings including my new vertical labret which I love and is healing like a dream. Go to this shop if you want an amazing piercing experience

Michelle M: Just got my nose and septum pierced by Christian, easiest piercings ever. he went over proper aftercare made sure I was comfortable and informed me on what to expect in the healing process. The place is very clean as well. As someone who has been to piercers who are not APP certified I will continue to drive over an hour to get quality work done . this is definitely where I will go for all of my future piercings. Very professional very clean I can’t say enough good things. Thank you!!

Phil Koziol: They wear masks all the time, which is weird.Service:Tattoo design

Laura Roskowinski: Rikki is amazing! The entire process from texting her regarding my daughter having her septum pierced, to the piercing itself, to her bubbly personality and professionalism was great. The jewelry selection was great, prices were reasonable and they allowed all members of our weird blended immediate family to be there for my daughters first non ear piercing. Rikki may be one of, if not the only, APP piercer around which is how we found her, but she has clients for life now!Services:Piercings,Nose piercing

Kate Silver: You would be surprised at how many piercing studios don’t know what they are doing, but Hillsborough tattoo and piercing is definitely not one of them. I have 8 ear piercings all from different places and this place is the only one that my piercings have healed correctly because they pierced them properly, used the right materials, and gave me the proper aftercare advice. If you want to successfully heal a piercing and get it done correctly, I would highly recommend Hillsborough. The people there are also really friendly (I’ve met some mean piercers in my life). This is 100% my new go to piercing location.Service:Ear piercing

Violet W.: Absolutely love the staff and always have a great experience. Edit: Christian gave me a wonderful septum piercing that I've wanted ever since I was like 15 and it looks so good. Thank you for helping out with my self expression goals 3

Jill Cromwell: Great experience! Rikki was super patient and explained everything involved in my helix piercing. Pretty jewelry too!ETA: I also had my septum and daith pierced here! Both have healed with absolutely no problems. Highly recommend!

Madison Treadway: Rikki did a great job on my piercing! The staff is very friendly and well trained. They also adhere to outstanding sanitary standards for body piercings. Highly recommend.

Lauren Teague: I get all my ear piercings (6 total) done here! Rikki is amazing and so is the rest of the piercing staff. I've never had any serious problems with my piercings and they are super helpful if I have any questions. Definitely go see them!!!Service:Ear piercing

Roselyne St. Phard: The bedside manner here is fantastic; the receptionists were clear about pricing and paperwork was quick and easy. I was able to text about pricing and ask questions before I came in. Even though we came in 10 mins after they opened, there was a group ahead of us. Our visit took about an hour and 45mins (mine for one piercing was an hour). Bear in mind they can’t give any estimates for how long the service will take so plan accordingly. My piercer Rikki was really kind, talked me through the whole process and made sure I was comfortable and involved. She asked me to come back for a follow up and recommended I wait another 6 months before changing jewelry. My roommates piercer Christian was equally kind and patient. We were both given complimentary nasal spray. My roommate did like 5 face piercings for 400 or so and my nose piercing ($80) and a jewelry replacement ($45) for my other nose piercing was $139. Definitely recommend.

Emmanuel Spence: Friendly staff

Melody: So I went to get a nose piercing, super professional staff, and a great experience. Had an issue(that I caused) and Rikki was super kind and reassuring. Best experience ever!

Hadley Ewing: Rikki is FANTASTIC! She walked me through each step of the process thoroughly beforehand while making sure to let me know of her every move while the piercing took place. I did extensive research on this particular piercing and she is very knowledgeable on the subject!! I am not new to piercing but I really wish I’d found her sooner! Will probably never let anyone else pierce me again. She’s THAT good.Service:Piercings

I worked with Ashlei and hands down is the most dedicated artist to her work. She takes her time to make sure her work is something she would wear herself. The amount of detail she puts into it and also the time is unmatched. I’m currently working on my half sleeve with her which was my first and she was amazing at explaining the process and what all would be involved in the aftercare. I highly recommend her for any work you’re looking to have done.Service:Tattoos

Thanks again guys :)Service:Tattoos

Camilo Vasquez: Excelent place

Zac Barres: Just here to let everyone know that there is no such thing as a 4 star or below review for this shop. 5 stars is the only applicable rating for Edgar and his crew. My girlfriend and I have gotten multiple tattoos at First Class and have always been nothing but happy with the outcome and experience. With all of the options in the Raleigh Triangle area this is the place to be.Somehow clicked 1 star when I made the original review. Just fixed it after getting a reminder…Service:Tattoos

Quinten Parker: Edward absolutely knocked it out of the park on my knee piece on a walk in. Highly recommend him or any of the artists here.

Willie Peterson: Great work Great atmosphere really professional and great pricing

Kaleigh Bulone: This place is the BEST. Considering most shops book out for MONTHS and have small booking windows to even get on a schedule, I feel like I found such a little gem when I started coming here. Both Edgar and Mark have tattooed me, Edgar has actually tattooed several of my friends and family both by appointment and walk in. They are always so accommodating and willing to work and adjust aspects of the design, I couldn’t say enough about this place. They’re also cool as hell and just really nice and accepting and so much fun.Service:Tattoos

Kayla Woodard: This is my go to shop in Raleigh. Mark has done four pieces for me. His talent is amazing & he cares for it to look good.. he takes his time, proper placement & sometimes adding something to give it balance. Edgar did my last walk-in tat, it healed great. I love this shop & the passion they clearly have. It’s amazing to see a shop grow the artists, seems it’s not common anymore these days. ❤️

Nicole: Drove a long ways to get a tat... They said they open at 12, called but nobody picked up and they answering service said walkins, stop by.... get here and they're closed. TRASH... be professional

Trinity: I got my tattoo here late last year. It is a very small sentence using typewrite font on my inner bicep. I must say, the longest part of the entire experience was just making sure the placement was right! After that, Mark went to work and he was done in under 45 minutes. He told me everything I needed to do, and my tattoo has healed beautifully. There has been no bleeding of the words (so far) and I highly recommend this place for whatever tattoo thought you might have! They do it all. The place is small, but very welcoming. 10/10 would come back again!Service:Tattoos

Madison Donnan: If I could give this more than 5 stars I would. Edgar was referred to me twice for fine lines and did an amazing job!!

Dona Boutte: Super great and nice staff. Walked in on a date night whim. Q was nice with a great spirit. Made us comfy. She made sure to customize what we asked for, showed us, and made some revisions as we envisioned. Highly recommend going to see her!!! Everyone was nice and pleasant.

Got several reminders ahead of time as well some quick tips (first tattoo ever!) Once I arrived, I was quickly greeted by the staff and Katie, and Katie went over the design with me, as well as asked a few questions to make sure everything was going to be perfect. The environment itself is relaxed, and honestly made me feel better about it being my first one. Once we got into the tattoo room, Katie made sure I was comfortable and got right to work. You can always tell when someone is passionate about their work, and that is very true of Katie. After the tattoo was done, she went over a few things to be aware of, and what to do for proper healing. I was also able to reach out to her days after the appointment for follow up questions and she was more than happy to help. I am absolutely thrilled with my new tattoo and more than happy with the service provided. Will definitely be back for my next tattoos!
