Black Moon Piercing — Attraction in Edison

I did a Google search for piercing studios near me, specifically looking at cleanliness and expertise. When I called the number from their website, I was originally connected with the Hillsborough location, who reassured me they were all the same business when she booked my appointment. The woman who answered my questions was so kind, patient and helpful. My 9 year old wanted her ears pierced for her holidays and January birthday gift, and I wanted to do things right by her and not go to the mall. I also wanted to treat myself by fixing horrible ear piercings I had gotten at the mall/done myself over 20 years ago in college. I was told that the piercings would cost $80/2 piercings and that was not including jewelry. She told me jewelry ranged from $50-“just over $100” — which I naively thought was for two earrings. So I was expecting to pay $160 + around $200 for jewelry and about $70 for a tip. Brie was wonderful! They were patient with my daughters’ questions and took their time to throughly explain and check in constantly. I am so happy with both of our piercings. The only thing that made this experience not-so-great, and honestly it’s my fault, so I’m sharing because hopefully will help another probably-mom or first timer was the sticker shock. The bill was over half my monthly income as a teacher. Again, I should have verified the costs I was quoted — and I’m sure would have had it explained to me that the price was per piece of jewelry. I want to make it clear that I was NOT ripped off, at all, I just wish that maybe Brie had verified the costs since it was going to be almost $1,000, before starting. Make sure you ask for an itemized cost before you start. I am not irresponsible, and have budgeted for years to afford my tattoos— and I am grateful for the discount Brie said was extended to us, I just wish I had had better foresight to verify my info, as I was expecting half of what the bill was … please consider this a cautionary tale. Not a reflection on what I now know are reasonable prices, just a failure on my part. The piercings are beautiful, and we will definitely be taking good care of the quality jewelry! I have already recommended to my mom’s group and when we are ready for a new piercing will return, but now I know! We are...

Nuggets is the best!!!!!!!!! My partner had his nostril re-pierced and it did not hurt whatsoever, even with old scarring. The healing process was so light and simple that I decided if I would ever jump the gun to do it, it would have to be with him. The shop is super super clean, and Nuggets makes sure everything is sterile swiftly. The front desk team is superb, kind and checked us in promptly. They were helpful with any questions we had and offered great advice as well. Nuggets was super inviting, professional, and helpful in picking out the best jewelry and spot for a first time nose piercing! He explained everything I needed to know before we got started and any inquiries I had were met with the best response and advise too! Nuggets pierced me with ease and focus in no time! He made us feel confident that we could trust him to perform this piercing with the most aesthetically pleasing placement, least amount of pain, best healing process ever, and the technique to make this more than just a positive experience but a great evening to be pierced! It felt gentle. As he pierced me and put the jewelry in, he was careful not to bang up my nose, but quick as to not feel drawn out at all. Nuggets pierced us and made our day just with his chill demeanor, let alone the talent and skillset required to pierce us with no pain in the moment nor after at all, no issues whatsoever! I was able to move my nose, and touch it with no pain at all, barely even sore, by the next morning! Now three days later and my nose feels perfect as if the piercing had always been there. I look forward to seeing my new piercing and thinking of the great team at this Black Moon. I wouldn’t have been able to get this piercing that I wanted if it weren’t for how painless Nuggets does them, best healing ever rn! I will definitely be returning for probably a dozen more piercings anywhere he can place them. My manager at work asked me where I had it done, and told me she had scheduled herself for this location but was hesitant about getting her nose pierced and had even canceled a few times. After seeing how painless the piercing was for me, she said without a doubt she will be having Nuggets...

I absolutely hate leaving negative reviews but this is very much needed. i want to start off by saying the quality of the jewelry is absolutely fantastic and it's the only jewelry i've used that did not irritate my nose or reject with my skin but GOLLY is this the worst place i've ever been to get a piercing done! the actual store is nice but is filled with people who cant even look up from their phones for 2 minutes to acknowledge your presence! you're "greeted" by a woman in the front that prompts you to scan a QR code then pretty much dismisses you to the netherworld. i sat for about 10-15 minutes and waited for alex, who also greeted me with ✨nothing✨.. you dont want to speak to me? okay, FINE. im not really the most social person myself but the least you could do is provide me with a good experience. this is where the 1 star really comes in. i went to downsize my piercing.. he placed in a bar that was WAY too short!!! so short that for only having this in for A WEEK, my piercing area is now indented and severely irritated after it being healed fine before downsizing. i noticed this yesterday and tried to get the piercing out. the part with the crystal was BENT and after an hour of trying to get it out, i had to literally RIP this piercing out of my nose!! i live an hour away from them so it's not like i could just take time out of the day to go and get this fixed but for the money spent with this shop ($300 between two visits) you would at LEAST expect decent service. this is a night and day difference with my original piercer, sami, whom made my experience absolutely amazing the first time i came here. safe to say i will NOT be returning here and that this place will be added to the list of horror shops that treat certain customers like dirt on the bottom of their shoes!! (in regard to photos inserted, i made one black and white to show exactly what it looked like, dont mind all the...
