Abyss Body Piercing — Attraction in Salt Lake City

I have found my new favorite piercing shop! I had wanted to get my septum pierced for a while and wanted to find a shop other than Koi because I've ve had a few bad experiences with them and have read reviews with similar complaints. You feel judged in there.

I found Abyss online and liked the reviews, website and the piercing pricing was great, so I called to make an appointment.

They gave me a heads up on the initial costs, which is very helpful - for customers and I'm sure them! I haven't had that from all shops I've used. Jewelry is always additional and can be very expensive, depending on the quality. They made sure I knew exactly what I'd be paying before I was pierced.

Mitchell Reilly did my piercing and did an amazing job. He was kind, patient, informative, and professional throughout the process. He explained everything that was going to happen, how much it would all cost and happily answered all questions I had.

I tend to talk a lot when I'm nervous and talk faster than usual, and I assume it can be annoying. If he was annoyed with me at all, I would have never known it. It's nice to go into a piercing shop and not feel judged or intimidated.

When he did the piercing, all I felt was a quick pain, like a nose hair being plucked. Very similar to my experience with my nostril piercing.

I had an unusual experience with the healing of my septum. The only pain I experienced after the initial piercing, was a slight soreness the next morning; sort of like when your nose is raw from using a lot of tissues. After that, there was ZERO pain. No swelling, no crusties, no pain. The jewelry moved freely without sticking or pain. I still followed cleaning instructions, just in case. I read a similar story from another person, but this person changed their jewelry out a week after piercing and it ended up taking 6 months to heal. While I know healing varies from person to person, I do know that it wouldn't have healed as easily if I didn't go to someone who knows what they're doing. I had that bite me in my younger years.

They have a great selection of jewelry as well! I didn't get a chance to look at it all, but I already have a few pieces on my wish list! I will absolutely be coming to Abyss for all future piercing and body jewelry. And I will send anyone I...

I lived a block away when Abyss opened, I was pregnant at the time and always recommended them to friends even though I wasn't looking for a new piecing then. In a lovely serendipity event my son, 8 years later, wanted his ears pierced for his birthday and I knew just the place to go. I first wanted to show him the experience, and I've always wanted my industrial done so we scheduled an appointment and went. We scheduled with Matt (I recall that being his name but it's been a few months, the one that is only there on Fridays) and he was so amazing. He talked my son through everything he was doing while I was pierced. After we left, my son absolutely knew he needed his ears done. So another appointment was scheduled with the same piercer and again, he was so amazing. We were even late because I forgot the birth certificate, but they still saw us and were so caring and kind. He talked my son through everything again, and waited while he called his dad for some courage after the first one. The care these people have is outstanding.

Recently my son hurt one ear somehow and his ear decided to swallow his earring. I told his dad to take him to Abyss, and have them remove it. Mitchell was the one who removed it and my son's dad said he was so great! We kept the earring and stud, and my son is impatiently waiting for his ear to heal up so he can get it done again.

If I could give 100 star review I would. I always have, and always will continue to recommend this piercing studio to anyone I know that wants something done. Thank you guys for being so amazing, kind, caring and CLEAN! Literally the most clean studio...

The front desk lady was really nice, but the communication between her and the piercer was not good. I was told I couldn't get new jewelry for my nose piercing because it was so new, but that they could change out the bar to a shorter one. I also chose some new jewelry for my Medusa. She asked if I felt comfortable changing them out myself. I let her know that I had no problem switching out the jewelry in my lip, but I was not willing to change out my nose piercing since it was so new. When I went to the back, the piercer changed out my nose piercing, and when I looked in the mirror, I realized he put my new lip jewelry in my nose (which looked so crazy because it is not sold as nose jewelry for a reason lol). I tried to force myself to tell him it was wrong, but I couldn't do it. I ended up going home and brutalizing my nose. My boyfriend ended up going back to inform them of what happened and getting me a new bar since I dropped one down the sink. When he got back, none of the bars fit the original nose jewelry I had in. So now, I have my old lip jewelry in my nose and my new jewelry in my lip. At the end of the day, mistakes happen. But im also really surprised that they charged my boyfriend for the new bar that costs like $10 after they were told what happened. Little things and gestures make a big difference in situations like this. I've tried out this place before, and to be honest, there are better priced and more professional studios in the area. Both people working were really nice, it's just not the...
