Body Jewelry Plus SC — Local services in Tukwila

I don't recommend this place for getting a piercing or jewelry. I've been stopping in here since I was about 15 and had pierced my own lip and needed jewelry for it. Back then it was a good store with helpful/very nice workers. Not anymore. Recently I stopped in to get jeweled balls for my barbells. Wore them one time and FOUR of the jewels came out right away. It has one jewel then many around it. I had gotten a few other things while I was in there and I didn't notice until I got home that the lady (don't remember her name) gave me one wrong set of balls. I had asked to get the red, green and light blue jeweled balls and I saw her put them all in the little basket but I wanted to look around a bit more so by the time I get home I open the tiny little bag (that you can't see through. I don't know why they changed the little bags because you used to be able to see everything that was in them) and I was missing my green ones. Instead I saw the red ones, blue ones and plain silver ones you can literally get at any piercing store. I also love when I walk in there an am completely ignored by the workers who'd rather be chatting to each other. Too busy to notice a person standing right there that's willing to spend money on the products they sell that apparently break easily. I understand they've been using a bunch of different people but the first thing you should tell your worker is to be respectful. I have stood at the counter for 20 minutes before without a worker saying a thing. I've even gotten mean looks from some before. Well that will definitely be the last time I ever go there. Bad/lazy workers (that can't even give you what you buy apparently), slow service and cheap products. I used to love this place but it's gone down hill and I'm not gonna waste my money here anymore. I get better jewelry from Amazon for a better price. I might not be able to find the same jewelry but at least it won't break/lose pieces so fast. I'm so fed up with this place....

I want to write an addition to my original review as I am still dealing with the consequences caused by an upset piercer.

I went in the get my navel pierced, it was my first body piercing and I wasn't very knowledgeable. I talked to the piercer and everything seemed fine, she did seem a bit irritated and I have no idea why, she marked me with a pen and did the piercing. An hour later I was walking around and bled through my shirt, I went back and she helped clean up the blood but I had to get a new shirt. I feel I should also mention that I said it looked weird and she flat out told me she did it wrong on purpose, I then tried to go to dinner with my friends but I couldn't sit straight for about a week.

A few months go by and I notice the jewelry is basically falling out, I go to another piercer to ask him about it and he tells me that I was pierced too shallow. I wait about a year and another piercer thinks it's healed enough to pierce me again, a few months after the second piercing the jewelry gets bumped and goes back into the original hole causing me to bleed all over yet again. I am now working with a body modification specialist to try to stitch my piercing closed since there is too much scare tissue for it to close anymore. This whole thing has been a bad and expensive experience for my first piercing and could have all been avoided had the piercer done her job correctly and not been upset and taken it out on me. She shouldn't be allowed to work at any piercing or tattoo shop because what she did was flat out wrong on so many levels.

This is for a piece of jewelry I went in for: I didn't want to go in to start but I needed jewelry. Although the employee was kind of knowledgeable she wasn't that nice. I felt a bit rushed and she didn't make it very clear where the jewelry...

Omg where do I even start! This place was so welcoming and patient with me. It was my second time getting a piercing but the first time I was a baby and now I’m 13 so I was nervous. I came in the day before to ask questions and the lady at the front was so nice and understanding walking me through the basics of the piercings I wanted. I wanted double cartilage aka double helix. I came in the next day and the lady remembered me and asked if I settled on what I wanted. She went through the steps of the process and was very nice in general. Shout out to Ryan btw for being an awesome piercer I highly recommend him! He was so patient and understood I was nervous. He calmly explained what was going to happen and said it would be over very quick. He did the piercings very quick and gentle. It didn’t really hurt at all. I wanted to take a break in between the first and second but he gave me a heads up saying it would be better to get it right after so that the adrenaline didn’t wear off. It was very quick and almost painless. My sister and step dad were right by me and were more scared then me tbh. He was very gentle with cleaning the piercings after. Overall the place was amazing and made my piercing experience a breeze. I highly recommended to get piercings here! I don’t know about the tattoos they do but I’m sure they do wonderful tattoos! I didn’t even have to wait! It took like a minute after the papers were filled out! Again I highly recommend this place and will be coming back for my 8...
