Wasent to impressed when I was charged a $5 fee to install a $130.00 nose ring I purchased for my wife's birthday. We will not be back to purchase more after that incident. I being a business owner myself understand paying extra for products and services, but I couldn't see charging a customer a $5 fee to install a $130.00 nose ring they just bought from your business.

Girlfriend has gotten several piercings done here. Every time the piercing tech was professional and clean, and each piercing has come out exactly as expected, having none become infected. Definitely the best place for piercings of all types. Read Less

I got my nose pierced there over a year ago and it healed so nicely. And I had my nipples done today and couldn’t have been more pleased! Rob (the piercer) made me feel so comfortable and answered all of my questions! Very clean and super friendly!! I wouldn’t go anywhere els😊 Read Less

LONG REVIEW- I included everything I would want to know if I were a new customer. One day I just happened to be walking in the mall and I stopped in (because it is such a convenient location so why not). I was immediately helped by a lovely employee. I stopped by a few more times, contemplating piercings, looking at jewelry and learning about their procedure for performing the piercings and for keeping things sanitary. Finally, I had enough money to get my belly button pierced and once again the staff was amazing (not to mention that every one of them has awesome piercings). I got my belly button pierced by Roy, who I loved. He was so sweet and helpful. I like to see things clean and their procedure went above and beyond to keep things sanitary. He wiped down the chair before and after I sat in it, opened a brand new set of sealed tools, used new cleaning products both before and after the piercing to keep things sanitary, and even let me keep the purple marker that was used to mark the piercing because they do not reuse them. I went in to have my belly ring changed a few times while it was healing and I was treated with such care. The piercing healed beautifully thanks to the instructions and cleanser provided by the staff. I went in to have my nose done and I was sad to find out that Roy had moved, I was a little scared to have a new piercer, Michael. I went through with getting the piercing anyway and I am so glad I did. Michael was so sweet and professional, he gave me a compliment about my hair, talked me through the entire piercing procedure, kept things just as clean as the first time I was pierced there, and made sure I was 100% happy and certain with the placement before piercing. After the piercing I was feeling light headed, I told him and within a second he was feeding me a sugar tab and turning the fan on. I am so thankful that he was able to handle that situation and he even made me feel better and laugh after, saying that it had happened before. Not only was my nostril piercing my most easily healing piercing, it was also the least painful to heal. I have been in to have my nose ring changed, and even for just a top change, things are kept as sanitary as they are for a piercing. I was even able to message Michael on Instagram and ask him if I could keep my nose ring in for an MRI, not only did he respond quickly, but he also informed me that they pierce with implant grade titanium, which is safe for an MRI! I am so thankful that they do that, because it was safe and convenient for an MRI that I did not know I would need. I absolutely love Studio VII, stop in and you will be greeted by amazing staff who will help you pick out dope jewelry (from a beautiful selection) and help you decide what to get pierced next. I will forever recommend getting pierced here to all of my friends and family! Read Less

Mike did my septum and it is perfect. Healed quickly and looks great! My nose is even crooked on the inside and he noticed so pierced it based on that. Looks great! I also like the fact that he pierced it with internally threaded! Not everyone does that but they should. The jewelry selection is also insanely awesome! Read Less

I came in this week with an agitated tragus piercing from over 2 months ago. The person that pierced it originally used too big or a gauge and a curved bar (which is apparently a no no). The girl on Monday that was piercing was so awesome and was able to help me pick the right jewelry and put the new jewelry in. This week was the first time in 2 months that my ear hasn't hurt. Definitely recommend seeing the piercer that helped me. Read Less

All of the staff are super polite and really professional. Every time I go in I am greeted with a smile. I've gotten a bunch of jewlery here, gotten my tongue pierced, and had a tattoo done by Jim today. He did a phenomenal job and I am absolutely thrilled with the way it came out. I go back in 3 weeks for more detail and touching up, and I can't wait to see the final product. Overall, amazing shop. 10/10 will definitely come back for more in the future! Read Less

I've gone many many times to Studio Seven. Every time I go everyone is incredibly nice. They are very good at recognizing faces so after a little bit you're remembered every time. It is my go to place without a doubt. Okay actually it's the only place I go. Everything is so clean and sterile it's amazing. I have sensitive skin and the metals that are used by this shop have never caused issues with it!! I definitely recommend to everyone!! Read Less

Staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. I went in two weeks ago for a daith piercing. This is the 4th piercing I have gotten from Michaels spanning the last 7 years . He is absolutely amazing! Shop is very clean and he was great with answering all of my questions. I always recommend everyone to Studio Vll for any piercing or jewelry needs . I won't ever go anywhere else. Thanks again for another great experience. Read Less

Not impressed... started gauging out my ears and weirdly I'm gauging quicker than others from how its been expressed. I came in with tapers, one ear naturally is gauging easier so I definitely understood having to down play one of the plugs in order to match, but although I mentioned maybe going a size larger than the ones recommended and that I ended up purchasing, it was instructed to me that my ear needed more time, and slow and steady is the process.. little did I know wh...en it was time to put in both plugs recommended to me, they slide in beyond easily and there is no stretching going on because they are both extremely loose... I wasted $25+ tax for something not helping me achieve anything... next time I will go with my gut and maybe then I wouldnt waste my money and be extremely irritated on my very first visit:/ You would think a tattoo and body piercing place would be more precise with their evaluations and suggestions, especially with something like gauging which you know you will have a repeat customer :/ See More Read Less

Awesome service, clean room, all implements sanitized. As long as the owner does the work on you it's great!He is very professional, gentle and knowledgeable he knows what he's doing. I had one bad experience with my daughter being pierced by dirty looking creepy character that was so rough making her bleed terrible and ripping on her ear so hard trying to put a ball on an end of an earring, I had to walk out of the room. Read Less

Got my nose pierced here yesterday. I cannot remember the guys name who did it but he was wonderful. Super quick and ALMOST painless. They tolerated my indecisiveness in picking my jewelry. Made great suggestions and got the job done! They were great! I'll definitely be going back for more!! Read Less

I originally came in to get a regular industrial done, but not all ears are created equal. So Roy did a customized floating industrial and it's freaking awesome! I must say im glad my ear wasn't right for the regular because I LOVE this piece! He's very clean and thorough with customers. Customer service was great! Definitely recommend Roy Fowler for any and all piercings. Read Less

Best piercing studio in Wilmington! All staff members are extremely helpful & take their time with you. Roy is especially skilled in his piercing artistry and I definitely recommend you see him. Can't go wrong here. Great selection of jewelry for any budget. Read Less

My wife just went in there to have a piercing changed witch is not all that complicated at all but to find out the person doing piercings today ddosnt even work for the company and was just filling in for someone and the guy was stoned off his ass and smelled of booze from drinking while he is there.... unexceptable Read Less

My husband called yesterday morning and inquired about having my 9.5 month old daughter's ears pierced. He was informed by a staff that it can be done, no appointment necessary and jewelry included. We went to the salon today and was refused the service. I was EXTREMELY upset because I was told "yes" and in person turned away. There must be a lack of communication somewhere amongst the staff. Needless to say, they offered no suggestions and did not apologize for the inconvenience. Read Less

Got my children's names tattooed on my chest yesterday by Robbie Kass. He was awesome. The place was very clean and tidy. He is very meticulous about his work and wants it just right. When I arrived, he had the names drawn out and ready to go. He had to adjust them several times until he was comfortable on their placement. Both tats took about an hour and he did a fantastic job! I am very satisfied with my whole experience! I highly recommend Robbie and studio 7. I will definitely go back to him! Read Less

Dropped by here for some new bling and a piercing change for the newest hole in my face. Service was quick and friendly. Huge selection of jewelry, probably the best place in town to purchase new jewlery. Read Less

I went here to get the second hole on my ear lobes pierced about 4 months ago. I thought it was kind of pricey, but it was something I had wanted for a really long time and kept putting off, so I decided to just go with it. The second hole on my right ear is fine, but the second hole on my left ear is entirely too close to the first. I noticed after I got home that day that the piercing was completely off the mark the piercer had made; the earring barely touched the edge of the little dot. I can't wear even two of the smallest studs without them touching, and wearing two hoops just looks like one thick hoop from afar. I'm not one to leave reviews, but since I decided to just take it out and let it heal today, I thought it would be appropriate. The reason I waited this long to get rid of it is because I kept trying to convince myself that maybe it wasn't that bad, but I just hate it. I doubt that I'll attempt to have a second hole redone because I don't want to spend the money again, I hate the idea of having a random scar in the middle of two piercings, and now I'm afraid of having it messed up again. I'm really broken hearted over this because even though it's just a simple ear piercing, it got so messed up, and now I'll have this stupid hole/scar to remind me of it every time I look at my ear.

The tattoo artist was amazing. The quote I received was pretty reasonable. I'm visiting from Korea, and my hometown is D.C., so I'm pretty interested in tattoo styles that the world has to offer.This particular time, I wanted two tattoos: one on the back of my thighs and another that reflects my fathers military service and his fight for cancer. He had recently passed away and that's what brought me to North Carolina. Found this place on Yelp and decided to not  give the negative reviews a second glance, was pretty impressed with the reviews raving about the artist. So, I went, got quoted and came back.I wanted to see if there was time available. I wanted to get one of the tattoos, but I didn't have cash on me. I have a master card from a KOREAN bank, so I have to be careful about how and where I pull money. As you know, I'm not about the problem, always about a solution,The girl at the front seemed cool at first, but when it came to helping me understand why I have to pay partial cash and partial card and/or just being patient and polite enough to help me understand their process, well.. she was rude as hell. I wanted to pay for the whole tattoo on my card so I can save myself some bank fees, but she said that I had to eventually pay cash for the tattoo.. she came up with a solution (which I liked), and I wanted some time to think about it, but the more my friend and I were talking, she kept rudely interjecting to pressure me into doing something I eventually had to do anyway.I need to get to an ATM to pull out $400, and I said to my friend "maybe we can get lucky and find another artist that will take my card in the process" and she rudely yelled back as we were leaving "um, we know most of the artists around here and they all take cash, so you won't find anybody else". Girl, bye. Nobody was talking to you and you can keep that rude ass attitude. I'm getting sick and tired of smaller businesses that do not understand the basic concept of being polite. Am I not allowed to explore other avenues? I felt like the amount of money I was about to spend, my tattoo experience shouldn't begin when the gun hits my skin, but when my ugly butt walks in the door..: like with the receptionist being kind... after all, she represents your brand. But, that's just me. Lol. I don't know how they do it in North Carolina. All I wanted was a couple tattoos.... and use the time to really reflect and think about my dad. It was a tough year for me and tattoos are a great stress reliever. I didn't expect to get more stress from a tattoo spot, first time I ever experienced that, and I have a lot of tattooS. I love the artist and want him to work on me. I wish there was a way I could just pay the dude without the shop ever seeing a dime from me. Read Less

Very clean and friendly atmosphere. I had a tattoo done with my three boys names and birth dates one I have put off for years due to I wanted it perfect and was scared of it coming out wrong. So on my adventure here in Wilmington I decided to go for it. I have to say I am no disappointed what so ever. If I leave here I will come back for cover up and more tats as well. Thanks Great Place.

I had my septum pierced by Roy yesterday. He used a 14 gauge needle and didn't even need to use a clamp. He was extremely nice and made the whole process a breeze. He was quick with the needle and getting my jewelry placed, and really gentle. 24 hours later and I don't even feel like I had my nose pierced. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks again Roy for a great job! Read Less

I got a basic ear piercing here a few years ago and it was great no problems. Other reviews seems to be biased on some specific problem that isn't that important. My piercer made me feel safe, explained the importance of needle piercing rather than a piercing gun, and then gave me the pen for fun. I plan to get future piercings here. Read Less

I have visited this shop several times for their jewelry selection and they do have quite a bit to look at; from naval to nose. However, if this wasn't the only place in Wilmington offering such selection, I would never go back. The customer service quality is terrible. It felt like since I wasn't inked or had that kind of style I was a customer that didn't matter, although, I have spent over $100  on their jewelry. When I went to look at particular item and asked questions, I received comments as though I was illiterate. Yes, that is your job to provide concise answers but without the  eye-rolling is she serious rudeness. If I am spending upwards on $50 worth on a single item I want to know exactly what I am purchasing because of their no refund policy. Read Less

I received a navel piercing at this shop in May 2010. I was visiting NC and my aunt thought it would be fun! The piercing itself seemed to go fine, but since then it's been a nightmare. The piercing wasn't straight and it will not heal. Every time I go in to try to talk to someone, they try to sell me more jewelry (because maybe I'm allergic?). I've bought what they've suggested, but it's four years later and it still gets painful and infected, despite proper aftercare. Now the skin around the top ball has started to turn purple, which can't be a good sign. So thanks for that, guys. Hopefully I don't have permanent purple scar.//Update 11/2015//I ended up finally removing the piercing in May 2015 when it finally became too painful to bear without actually coming to tears. When I removed it, it was still bleeding (FIVE years later!). I used Mederma for months, but will likely always have an ugly scar. Inside my actual belly button, it was obvious that the skin had ripped over a long period of time. Another piercer told me that the original piercer used way too much skin and so the jewelry has been slowly ripping through my skin trying to make space for itself. Which sounds lovely. I'd like to reiterate that I went back and spoke to the piercers (not salespeople) at this shop twice. Both times I was told it was fine. Read Less

I was tattooed by Jersey. He was surly and short. He stated that what I wanted was not possible/good idea (I have 6 other tattoos, I know what is possible and what is not). He didn't take his time and seemed completely disinterested. I told him I wanted it to be as realistic as possible--ended up being cartoony. Bad, squiggly, and inconsistent line work. Shading is rough and abrupt. VERY excited to get this fixed... It's hard to took at. The only plus was that the shop was very clean, the books on a touch screen.... Very nice atmosphere...even if its in a mall (???) Read Less

I got my first tattoo here and it turned out perfect. It didn't take long and it wasn't painful at all. I went back for another and the artist was sloppy drunk, wreaked of alcohol and couldn't even stand up straight. I refuse to go back. However, their wide range of piercing options and jewelry is very impressive. Read Less

I was tattooed by Jersey a couple of months ago, and I am very pleased. The shop itself was one of the cleanest I've ever seen, and each artist thoroughly sterilized his entire area after each client, not just a quick wipe down of the chair. Everyone was very friendly and personable. Jersey was great to work with - I went in with a basic idea, he refined it and made some suggestions, and I absolutely love the end result. He's got a wide range of styles - he did mine and my sister's that day, two completely different styles, and both are really gorgeous. He also has a nice light and even hand with the needle, so it didn't hurt much to get done, and it healed faster and cleaner than any of my other 10 did. I highly recommend this place - don't let the mall location scare you! Read Less
