Black Hole Body Piercing

The nicest piercing parlor I have ever been to! The staff is all very nice and Derek did a great job. Will definitely be returning in the future for the beautiful jewelry and my next piercing.

My mom and I researched a piercing shop for a month and found that Black Hole Body Piercing had the best reviews on Unilocal.We wanted to get daith piercings together for my 26^th birthday (on your birthday you receive 5 dollars off your piercing). My mom and I, have chronic migraines. I decided to go back on migraine meds 2 month ago, but also wanted to get the piercing to see if it would help relieve with my migraine suffering. I have never had anything pierced except my lobes. Jessica, was the lady who did our piercings, and she was awesome!!! The shop was clean and inviting with a HUGE selection of earrings. The price was comparable to other shops in town. My mom and I, were really nervous, but Jessica set us at ease. It was quick and virtually painless!!! I didn’t feel a thing, but pressure. Plus if you have ever had a migraine, nothing compares to the suffering of migraine pain. Here’s to hoping that it works. It takes 6 months to clean and to see if it will work. Jessica sent us on our way with a cleaning pack of salt and a business card just in case we had any questions. I would totally recommend Jessica.

Went here for a nose piercing and took care of it and got a keliod that will never go away.

If you are going to get a piercing this is the best place to go. I have never had anything pierced except my lobes. I wanted to get a Daith piercing to see if it would help with my chronic sever migraines, which I have been under a doctor’s care for more than 10 years. Taryn was awesome, made me very comfortable, and the shop was clean and inviting. I was really nervous but it was quick and virtually painless nothing compared to suffering from migraines. Even if it doesn’t work the piercing looks great. Thank you Black Hole Piercing. I will make sure I always recommend you.

Super neat atmosphere, lots of people there, quick to accommodate and made sure to give feedback and work with my needs. Awesome and would definitely go back.
I just had to get another stud — no piercing — but they really made it a speedy transition!

I’ve gone to Black Hole a few different times. The first time I went in was to get my jewelry changed. The piercer was knowledgeable and took her time to help me with the best jewelry possible. The other two times i had gone in was because I had been plagued by migraines. After a two month migraine I was desperate for relief. I walked in and Taryn was very attentive and pierced my daith right away. Within 12 hours my pain was gone and three days later I didn’t need medicine anymore.
A month later my migraines returned on the side without the piercing. So back I went and not only did Taryn help with my piercing that was difficult they were respectful of my time. I had to get my daughter and she still pierced me even though it was closing time. Taryn also made my daughter feel welcome while we were there.
After living in Reno for a year and a half I finally found a place to be pierced and feel comfortable.
Thank you Taryn and Black Hole Body Piercing for the amazing experiences!

My daughter has been asking for her upper ear cartilage piercing and so over Thanksgiving break while visiting family, I took her to Black Hole Body Piercing on Black Friday. Upon entering we were immediately greeted with a friendly hello and was assisted right away. They explained the process to my nervous teen and assured her it’d be easier than she feared.
It was Black Friday so we received 10% off, total for the earring and procedure was $ 39, we tipped $ 5.
Just so the people reading this know, as I did not, Washoe County is strict on piercing, you must show a birth certificate, school ID, parent ID. We luckily had a birth certificate copy at my mom’s, so she was able to scan it and email it to my phone. We had to wait about 40 minutes, then it was her turn. The piercer was patient and reassuring that it would be fast and easier than she thought. Once she thoroughly explained the procedure and cleaning regiment (4 – 6 months), she quickly pierced the cartilage and was done.
My daughter was pleased with the earring and I was pleased with the cleanliness and professionalism of Black Hole Body Piercing.

It’s clean, friendly, and the girls are willing to answer any questions you have. I felt super comfortable the whole time I was there which I loved. I will for sure go back for more piercings.

Absolutely the most beautiful jewelry selection! The goddesses that work here are so professional, friendly and helpful… I will never go anywhere else for piercings and jewelry ever! I live 2 hours away and I will be a loyal customer for life…

I’m was a little worried when my girlfriend wanted me to take a place that was called Black Hole for my nose piercing. I am so glad I did! I love my nose ring, and the staff is amazing and very friendly.
I would drive all the way from Vacaville to Reno if I ever get any other piercings.

This is the only place in the entire area I would go to get pierced. I’ve been going since 2012 and have had 13 piercings done here by various staff members. Taryn has done the majority of mine and they always come out looking great with minimal pain. The prices might seem high but you have to remember the quality of jewelry and service you are getting. You just can’t get the quality you get here for a lower price.
My boyfriend has allergies to all but 2 kinds of metal, titanium and niobium. And they are always more then willing to work with us on getting jewelry in for him and working on what suits our bodies best. The counter staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. I am always greeted by name every time I come in and I have never been into a more welcoming store. I can’t wait for my next piercing!

Friendly. Sterile. Jessica did my nose piercing explained everything! And since I’m from out of town even said she can help me find a shop where I’m from to do the 2 month check up if needed!!! Totally recommend them!!! Was in and out in like 10 min!!!

I popped in here to get a replacement jewelry for my nose piercing. I was immediately acknowledged by a sales person who was most helpful after I described what I was looking for. The price of the jewelry does not include the $ 20 fee for installation. insertion? You know what I mean. That brought my total to $ 38.00 which seemed steep to me.
The chick who «installed» my cute little star was super personable and explained that next time I would be able to just unscrew the top and swap out the decorative portion, instead of having the long tube thing shoved in my nose hole again. She was very good at her job and the process was complete in like 2 minutes. Totally worth the $ 20 fee.

Wow! This place really deserves its high rating!
My bf and I were on vacation, and he decided he wanted his septum pierced. Looked up locations nearby, saw the high reviews this place had and off we went! Really nice little shop to start, and friendly staff. I ended up seeing some spiral gauges I wanted, but they were the next size up for my ears, so I went ahead and had them do my ears while we were there! «Bedside» manner was excellent. Bf’s piercing was no trouble and my ears were super easy too.
Highly recommended shop, if we’re back in town and need some more piercings we’ll be sure to go back!

I first heard of this place when I realized my high school algebra teacher owned the establishment! Unfortunately, I haven’t seen him since I graduated high school (not even the many times I’ve visited this place), but the moment I turned 18, the Black Hole was my first choice to go for my numerous ear piercings.
Each and every time I come to the Black Hole, my piercer has the nobody else but the lovely and incredible Taryn! She is so friendly and we always chat before, during, and after the procedure. She is one of the reasons I keep coming back! Another reason is because their jewelry is top-​notch, high class stuff! Even though I can’t afford half the beautiful gems and stones the parlor offers (I’m a broke college student LOL), they choose nothing but the finest ones for their customers and I truly appreciate that.
Lastly, I’m always impressed by the staff because they are competent and knowledgeable about piercings and aftercare, etc. that you don’t have to second guess the info they tell you; it’s the real deal. I totally recommend the Black Hole for anyone and everyone who is interested in getting pierced. The staff is great, the place is clean and well-​kept, and their jewelry selection is magnificent.

I have gotten 3 of my most recent piercings here (forward helix and tragus). It is a great shop and I would recommend it to anyone. It is very clean and they have great sterile technique — it seems like a silly thing but I have been to some dirty shops. The jewelry can seem pricy but it’s great quality and I haven’t had any problems with it.
They also have great service. If it’s really busy it can obviously take some time, but that’s expected and they spend lots of time with each customer. They helped me take my piercings out when I had to have surgery and put them back in as well, all free of charge. They are willing to answer any and all questions. Everyone is really knowledgable and friendly. I highly recommend them for any of your piercing needs!

I only have 9 piercings and 7 of them were all done at Black Hole. My first two piercings were my ear lobes, done by a piercing gun at a local jewelry store when I was about 9 or 10. Since then I have gotten my lip, tragus, 2^nd earring holes, both nipples, and two same side nostril piercings done at Black Hole. My most painful piercing was those done by the piercing gun and that is saying something!
The staff is so informative and extremely helpful with any questions you have, no matter how ridiculous you think they may be. They are very honest and helpful when it comes to placing a piercing or even what piercing they would think look best on you! Not only does the staff make you feel comfortable, but the shop is GORGEOUS and makes you feel at home. It looks NOTHING like a piercing shop, which is definitely a plus for me. Almost (if not all) of my piercings have been done by Jessica. She is such a sweetheart and gets rid of any discomfort you have before the piercing. She is just a saint at what she does, all my piercings are absolutely wonderful!
A few people complain that their product is overpriced, but it is definitely worth it. I have a nose stud that I can still wear that I got over 3 years ago, it shines like new. They also make sure that the jewelry fits comfortably and customize it to fit you perfectly. Also one of (if not the only) piercing shop in Reno that all of its employees own their piercing license, so that should definitely be a relief.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS SHOP TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A PIERCING! GO GO GO! :)
— I wrote this review several years ago, but just verified my email so it is now posting. Since this review I’ve gone back and got my septum pierced by Taryn (I’m sorry if I spelt your name wrong!). Again, a lovely experience! She made me laugh and made sure I was completely comfortable prior to the piercing. I love this place so much.

Not everyone is qualified to do even the simplest piercing. NEVER have a teeny bopper pierce anything with a piercing gun at a mall! It’s just not sterile, they have no clue what they are doing and it’s dangerous.
Jessica at Black Hole is a professional and knows where and how to place proper piercings. And throughly discusses before and after the piercing the proper piece you need and how to take care of it. She also has a large selection of pieces to choose from and can accommodate those with certain metal allergies.

I’ve been going to Black Hole off and on for a while now while I stretched my ears. Nothing big, just went up to 8g. I know that I could have done it myself, but I have a history of reactions to whatever I try to do, so I figured I’d just do it right.
Since my ears have gone so well, and I was impressed by everyone I encountered, I opted to have them do my nipple piercing. The whole experience was great! I went in earlier in the day on the day I was looking to get pierced to get info/​prices and to make sure that they had titanium available. It turns out that they did, so a few hours later, I popped back in with my husband and sister. Long story short, Taryn was my piercer (and who I had spoken to earlier that day), and she was amazing! It was quick, and a lot less painful than I was anticipating! She was more than willing to meet with me on a fairly regular basis to track how the piercings are healing since I have had problems in the past, but so far things are going great.
YES, they are expensive. Yes, it’s worth it. I look at my piercings like I do my tattoos: they are investments. You get what you pay for.

I got my belly button pierced there the other day and I couldn’t be happier!
They are the most expensive in town, but they are worth it. The jewelry is amazing and anything but cheap metal.
They are extremely clean and open every tool, brand new, in front of you.
The lady I had was super personable and I love it.
If I get any more piercings this will be my place.
