I didn't get a new piercing but I loved their vast array of jewelry they had for my Monroe. The staff was helpful when I was stuck on a dilemma deciding between the red, clear, blue or green colored jewels. I ended up buying them all! Good salesmanship perhaps?

My only grievance was having to wait 30 minutes to have my newly bought jewel placed on my face. Otherwise, they were friendly and patient so therefore I was friendly and patient.

The Piercing Experience isn't just the best place to get pierced in Atlanta. It's probably the best place to get pierced in America! Brian "There is no pain" Skellie is a genius--this place will pierce you ONLY with materials that are surgically implantable for at least 10 years.

It's like they are going into surgery when they pierce you, too. They sterilize not just the normal stuff, but also the gloves they wear, and they wash their hands up to the elbows! I previously got pierced at Andromeda in St. Mark's Place in NYC--a famous shop--and the service and my confidence in the staff didn't even compare.

I will NEVER go anywhere to get pierced but this place. Seriously, it's that good.

I was extremely anxious going in, because let's face it, everyone gets a least a tiny bit jittery when they are about to have a giant needle thrust through their flesh. Well, after much research on the intarwebs, I decided that wanted 6g ear plugs in each ear, and I heard about PE, and knew that this was the place for me. After having previous bad experiences with upper ear piercings that wouldn't heal, and a nipple piercing that was just too painful to keep, I wanted to go to the best, and this place has been called nothing less than the best.

Brian, the head piercer, and my tour guide for the evening of jabbing, was kind, gentle, and didn't make fun of my 100s of questions. In fact, he acted like a real medical professional during my piercing experience. He made it as easy and comforting as possible, and while I am not going to lie and say it didn't hurt (it did), I know that everything he did to prepare me, and take me through the process made it much more bearable.

I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone even thinking about getting pierced, or anyone wanting new jewelry for a current piercing. Brian is extremely professional, and extremely nice. I was highly impressed with the level of professionalism present in the shop, and very excited by the level of detail that is given to things like sterilization and cleanliness.

I am very happy with my experience, and if I ever decide to get anything pierced again, I am going here without a question. I will also be going back to Brian for future jewelry; he only uses stuff that is the best.

I was also impressed with Brian's attention to my questions... that has been a VERY big help for a relatively newbie to piercing.

I got my navel pierced here a few years ago.  I still remember this place very well because of the service and the way they do business.  They autoclave all of their piercing tools to heat kills any kind of organisms.  In addition all of their piercing jewelry is of surgical steel grade so the materials are high quality - equivalent to that used in surgical procedures.
They guy that did my piercing was super nice even though I was super nervous.
I am really glad to see they are still around and as popular as ever!

I got my belly button pierced here and it healed faster than any piercing I have ever gotten elsewhere. They only use implantable grade materials in their jewelry so there's never any callusing after the piercing heals (calluses are a sign that your body is rejecting the "implant"). They are as gentle as you can get with regards to putting holes in skin - no clamps or anything. I wish that I had known about them before I got my ears pierced at Claire's six months before then... my naval healed way before my ears did.

By far the best "piercing experience" in Atlanta.

I have been to see Brian many times and have never once been dissatisfied. The professionalism and knowledge about piecing and their product is above the board! I used to drive over an hour to get pierced here. The prices are very reasonable. They use a technique of heating the titanium jewlery in a machine to sanitize it. Through out the process they talk to you and explain everything as it is happening. I have never gotten an infection after being pierced here. They only use titanium which is pretty much the closest thing to bone that you could put into your body. I highly reccomend getting pierced here rather than anywhere else. It's worth it!

Don't get infected! My major in school is Microbiology, and I can tell you that the people at The Piercing Experience know what they're doing. They use flawless sanitation practices, and they teach you how not to infect yourself.
I got tragus piercings and never experienced any pain during the piercing and had very little tenderness during the healing process.
The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and willing and capable to answer questions.

What can I say..this place and staff Rock.  To me it says something when a place ONLY does Piercings and doesnt do them as a side business only a few days a week. Additionally they stay up on the latest technology for the "customers" comfort.  Pricing is reasonable and they are concerned with your care and not concerned with just getting more business.  These guys are to me way ahead of where some of the others "think" they are. I will definatley return.  I live 40 miles away and would of driven further.

The staff here is friendly and helpful. They use only titanium, interior thread jewlery. Any questions you may have regarding healing can be answered, and they will change your jewelry out for you. They are also reasonably priced, with a great selection!

The only place I will go to get pierced in Atlanta!  Not to say that there aren't any other great piercers/shops, but, I feel really comfortable at Piercing Experience.  

Brian and staff are incredibly informed and definitely don't try to pressure you or upsell just to make a few extra dollars.  They also have a great selection of unique jewelry.
