Piercing Connect & Tattoos

Amazing place to get your ears pierced. The shop owner is extremely friendly and professional. They allowed me to bring my own jewelry so long as I filled out the form completely! 10/10 experience!!

Steve was quick to respond, professional, clean, and welcoming. He listened to my requests without making me feel bad about changing my mind. The whole transaction was seamless, if you are in the DMV area I strongly suggest you come to Steve for any piercings. Can't forget the unbeatable prices!

The piercer Steve definitely did a good job on my piercings💪🏾🤩🤩🤩🥰highly recommended this shop 🥰

Steve did a wonderful job piercing my septum. I had it pierced at a mall before 2 months ago but the hole healed up after I lost my ring to the tub drain. Steve informed me that the original piercing done at the mall was not correctly placed. Steve took his time to properly align where my septum should be pierced. I felt very comfortable and cozy there. Steve is very clean and has wholesome Dad energy.💪🏾✨🙌🏾☀🌻

He did amazing job. He has done my snake eyes and I have not had a problem yet and it’s been over eight months. I am going to get the frog eyes done today and I am so excited support black own business.

Great experience here! My naval piercing was a little pricey, but the jewelry I got is super cute which makes up for it! The piercer was well informed and very clean, and there was hardly a wait despite me being a walk-in. The piercing was over with quickly, and there was literally no pain at all; it didn’t even pinch! He gave me information for aftercare, and even though I’ve heard horror stories about how bad the healing process can be for a naval piercing, mine has gone super smoothly! I haven’t had any major pain at all. Great experience here! I’ll definitely be back, this is definitely one of the better piercing shops i’ve been to!

I was so nervous about get my piercing but Abdul was very patient with me. He was very professional, knowledgeable and fast. I had a great experience and I will Definitely be returning!!!!

Steve did my vertical labret piercing and it went great of course I was a big baby scared of the needle but he lined it up perfect and he's also very confident in his work. That helped me calm down alot. But overall I love my piercing and I'm so happy I didn't let the negative comments turn me away. Some people just expect too much generosity from people doing their job. He was cool as $#!+ And he knows what he's doing. So 5⭐ for Steve from me.

Steve was super professional, straight forward, and accommodating. I had an appointment for one piercing but was able to get 3 done while I was there. They had a few really cool jewelery options in the case and aftercare was well stocked. Super easy to make the appointment. I'm nervous about needles and pain and let him know. He made sure that I felt comfortable and walked me through it. I would definitely recommend to my friends. All I can say is it's a small business, I think people should really chill out with expecting it to look like a dentist office.

Super clean and Steve is a really cool dude. I told him I played football at Howard and as I was getting ready to get my nose pierced, he was giving me advice on things. Very genuine and nice. Also very affordable. Go, you won’t regret it

If you have had tattoos and piercings before the smell of the cleaners are familiar. I smelled it about halfway up the stairs and it was very assuring I picked the right place. As I reached the top it was clean and welcoming. I was pierced by Steve, very nice, professional, and conversational. Don’t even question it, go.

I did a septum piercing 5 days ago. The Piercer was very professional,I was done in like five minutes the price is also very affordable. I’m definitely going back there for all my piercings. Will definitely recommend.

Got my nipples pierced here yesterday and he made me boss it out, he was quick, and clean. Everything came straight out of a package and very sanitary. Gave me good instructions for after care as well! Always has deals going on! Would come back here for more!

Best piercing place I've ever been to hands down. Steve is super knowledgeable and answers all questions. My piercings have healed much easier and quicker since being pierced here and I will keep coming back!

been going here for 7 years steve is the only person I trust to pierce anything on me, what I like the most about his work he always has you make sure his placement is how you like it before he pierces it. love his work

Finally got is done!!!

Yesterday was my day and I decided to get my nose pierced (though I could get none of my friends to make the trip with me, this journey was for me). I'd heard of Steve and Piercing connect from a Howard Student that has had hers done here. She said that she loves these folks.
So when I went in, the atmosphere was really laid back but don't let this fool you! The brother at the counter (Steve) was sharing his knowledge in a casual and calming way to educate a group of "piercing newbies." When I explained that too was a newby, Steve gave me a good quick info session on the do's and don'ts that I'd need to keep everything healthy and safe. I selected my jewelry and we were off to finally get it done. I expressed my fear (though I have tats and another piercing) which he completely respected and gave me more education regarding what to expect. I sat, I breathed, he cleaned and he pierced. It took SECONDS! NO PAIN!!! It's finally done!!

***So what you may want to know:
Location: Very accessible. Clean. Well lit. Professional treatment spaces.
Staffers: Cool, Laid Back, Knowledgeable, Professional and Friendly.
Sterile Technique: Absolutely!!! Steve used gloves. Opened NEW, sterile equipment.
Steve: Courteous, Professional, Educational, FAST with the procedure.
SHOULD YOU GO!!! ABSOLUTELY! You will be so pleased!

Great attitude, took us as basically a walk in, piercing didn’t hurt, very clean, super nice and super friendly guy!!

Great two nose piercings fast and easily done. Thank you

Got my tongue pierced and the piercer was really friendly and helpful in answering my questions. He even laughed at my bad joke because he knew I was nervous. It was a quick process and virtually painless. I'm really happy with my piercing

Steve was fast and really nice. I was scared but he made me laugh to make me relax.
