Banter by Piercing Pagoda — Local services in Ocala

Hands down THE best place in town for simple earlobe piercings.

For so long people have been spewing nonsense about piercing guns being unsanitary and unhygienic and the best place to go is an actually piercing technician. Well I’m here to set the record straight! Piercing guns are 100% sterile, sanitary, and hygienically used here at piercing pagoda. After being denied service at Fat Kats because my daughter was under 10, I came here with a little reluctance. But boy was I surprised by how well they managed their work load (up to 6 people waiting at a time for piercings) and how thorough they disinfected their area, station, tools, and themselves between each customer. I was very pleased, if not extremely more pleased with my service here then I think I would have been a Fat Kats. . Everyone was patient, kind, well mannered and pleasant waiting for their time. My daughter had an amazing first visit and I know there will be many more to come.

Just in case you don’t know the piercing guns they use are needle free and only use the actual earring you pick as the mechanical piece to pierce the ear. So there’s no transfer of bacteria from person to person. There’s only a plastic gun that holds the earring and they push that into your earlobe. Then they are done. That’s it.

Thank you Piercing Pagoda for making this visit and service a day we will always remember. You seriously made my daughter’s day and saved the day for...

First of all this lady could not understand how I wanted my daughters ears pierced. (Older did lady) With a marker we went over and over and over again were to place it. I ask her why can't 2 professional Pierce my 6 month old daughter ears at the same time ( which I preferred), she told me they could not because the baby would move which didn't make Sense. The child will now go through it twice and move even more. There were more than enough associates and not busy. I mention this because as I get home and start to read the after care HAND BOOK it says" WE RECOMMEND TO HELP ALLEVIATE ANXIETY AT THE TIME OF PIERCING : FOR ALL CHILDREN 2 MONTHS AND UP , WE OFFER HAVING BOTH EARS PIERCED AT THE SAME TIME BY TWO PROFESSIONALS. MANY OF OUR PIERCING LOCATION HAVE TWO ASSOCIATED ON HAND TO PIERCE BOTH EARS SIMULTANEOUSLY." Then tried to charge me for a warranty and not tell me what it was , luckily I saw the cashier screen and ask what is that charge about. Last but not least she gave me a $10 off coupon off next purchase and it expired the same day I came in. I ask if I can get it extension because I do not need to buy anything else today. She said no, she could have given me $10 off the purchased. Very disappointed and now looking at my daughters ear it looks way off so I am going to let them close up and get it done...

Went to Pagoda for earing piercing... I have always gone there because the girls at the counter are super nice and very helpful. I decided to upgrade my earrings because it was time. My interaction with the counter supervisor was the worst customer service I have ever dealt with especially concerning jewelry. It almost felt like she looked at me and thought I wasn't buying any where so why bother . The sales person that helped was super sweet. Nine months pregnant with a smile on her face the whole time and I could tell that she felt bad for me. I love there jewelry and it's reasonably priced my whole family goes there. We won't now. Terrible attitude . Never judge any one by their color of their skin. You are going to lose alot...
