Starship Bodyworks

I was extremely impressed with this shop! The shop itself is very cozy and awesome looking! My friend and I were amazed by how reasonably priced their piercings are! My friend got her nose pierced for only $ 40 and I got a replacement ring (which they helped me put in) for only $ 8! The staff there are INCREDIBLE, extremely helpful and very understanding when it comes to anxiety. I would recommend this place to ANYONE who wants a piercing. VERY impressed!

I was really unhappy when I stopped in a few days to get replacement jewelry. I was pierced there in 2013, and that seemed to go well, but I got the cold shoulder coming in again about a week ago. I can in looking for new jewelry because I had to remove mine for an MRI and thought that was a good excuse to update. I wanted to ask for help replacing; and the person working was so rude that I didn’t bother to ask and had my husband help instead. Needless to say, they fell out.
I was also told that their jewelry wouldn’t fit in my ear lobe piercing; well it’s a 16g piercing and my old 16g fit just fine after I went home thankyouverymuch. Will be looking for a new shop. The two stars is because once upon a time ago I liked the place and maybe their piercers are still good? Or maybe not.

I went here because my nose stud fell out. Called ahead asked if they had the gauge I needed and what I wanted and headed out. Soooooooo, not only did they have next to nothing in stock. The place was in massive chaos. And not in an awesome way. The level of F bombs flying here was impressive. And a little off putting. The girl who rang me out was sweet and nice enough. But I highly doubt I’ll ever return.

awesome staff. I have an industrial done elsewhere. And was having problems with it, they took one look at it and told me the bar was to small. And helped me find one that would work better.

Great artists and environment. Jon Johnson and Jon Murray are amazing artists, each with their own style. Steve, the piercer, is excellent as well. The rest of the staff, including those in the store, are really helpful. They also have the largest selection of body jewelry in the city. One of the best shops in Milwaukee for sure.

I’ve seen some of their tattoo work and will say that it is pretty good. However, the only experience i’ve had there was a septum piercing a few days ago. The piercer was very friendly but he pierced it extremely crooked. I feel like it is safe to say that a professional piercer should at least have the ability to pierce something straight. Now I’m going to have to get it re-​pierced. I assume I could go back in and get a refund of some sort but why bother. Go somewhere else.

The year, 2006. I was 20 years old and dating someone who I thought I was completely in love with. We went to Starship to get a matching tattoo. He would get half a heart, I would have the matching piece.
They charged us 120 dollars for a god damn heart. And my awesome boyfriend at the time didn’t have a job so I got stuck fronting the bill.
The female tattoo artist proceeded to make fun of my skin when it got really red while she was tattooing it, and flirted with my boyfriend while working on his.
Suffice to say, I never returned.
Moral of this story? Never get tattooed in a shop that sells clothes and does tattoos.
Also, don’t get tattoos with boys when you are 20.
