Pineapple is a great piercer and Shaman Modifications is always the #1 piercing shop I will always recommend. That being said Shaman modifications is always the place I turn to when looking for a new piercing or jewelry. About a month ago I decided to try a different piercer. This person had a really bad attitude from the start and was very unprofessional each time we interacted. He wore a thick surgical mask-- a kN95 mask. Initially entering the shop, I misheard what he was saying and from that point forward every conversation with him was antagonistic. We also had a difference in opinion with placement of a piercing. And that honestly made things worse. He acted with short patience as if he was annoyed that he had to talk to me. The only person in the shop that day with more patience and respect was the helper/apprentice. I wish he was the one who helped me instead. The terrible interaction I had experience with Travis G. made me not want to return to Shaman Modifications for a while. Unless he decides to move on. Yes, he knew what to do when it came to piercing professionally but he did not act in professional manner.

Decided to go here for my piercings because of all the great reviews and so glad I did! Travis was awesome, he took his time and made sure I was comfy the whole process and I could tell he cares! Facility is clean and organized and the staff is professional and they know their stuff! They also have an amazing selection of jewelry! Awesome business and awesome people! Worth every penny!!!!

Jason pierced my son's ears this afternoon. Very professional and made sure my son knew that he was in control and repeatedly checked for consent My son is absolutely thrilled with his piercings! It's a great, clean shop. We will definitely utilize their services in the future!

I've been here twice for a nose ring change while I appreciate them looking before they change out, the problem is the same lady that has helped me both times practically yells loud enough for everyone in the shop to hear that my nose is swollen and she can not do it. While my piercing is a little under a year so I get it's still pretty fresh. I just don't like the rude condescending tone. It's fine if it's not ready to be changed, but do not have your volume so loud that everyone else is overhearing OUR conversation. It's very unprofessional to speak to clients in such a manner. I do not recommend.

Omgeee I can't remember the last time I left a 5 star review. This place exceeded all my expectations! It's immaculate. So clean and organized. Service? I called before I came, I had random questions and their automated answering machine is what I received. Not a real person picking up the phone cause they are busy attending to their in house customers (which I understand and don't mind) BUT I do appreciated that the automated answering machine literally answered all the questions I had and the questions I didn't even think of before I asked it. A+++ I arrived with my friends and we all got different piercings (forward helix, dath and a piercing reopening + a conch jewelry refresh. We dropped around $1300-$1400 so not a small transaction in any means. Travis was our tech and he was the best tech I had ever received! I've received a lot of piercings in my past (including a double nipple piercing) and Travis not only gave his expert advise on what size of jewelry would look good in our piercings but also did not make me feel pressure to buy what cost more or what didn't look good. Ahhhmazing Travis thanks again for the great experience + aftercare instructions. My friends and I were saying how spoiled we were with Travis and the staff's awesome service that no one else we'd visit from here on out will compare.

I’ve gotten pierced here three times total and while everyone has been so great I had to write this review because of Mercedes. I came in on New Years Day wanting third lobe piercings and I wasn’t sure if I had the anatomy for it. Mercedes was my piercer and she confirmed we could squeeze a third one in and I just loved that she really took her time explaining everything and making sure that I was happy with the placement. I ALWAYS have problems with my ear piercings (my second lobe piercings flared up a few times right after getting pierced) and my third ones have given me no problems at all. I also get nervous around needles and she really walks you through breaths when getting pierced. This kind of experience is what keeps me as a repeat customer, everyone is always so kind when I go in!

Jade pierced my high nostril a couple weeks ago. She checked that my nose anatomy would work with this piercing and was thoughtful about placement - asking me future piercing plans. Lot of jewelry options from basic to investment art pieces - really neat to see. Person working the counter that day was super friendly helping with the jewelry selection and paperwork. Def recommend

So glad I came here for my first nose piercing! The shop was bright, super clean, staff were lovely and my piercer Jade did a fabulous job start to finish. Every detail was thought of for my experience and comfort. Will absolutely be coming here again! Shout out to the Research Blvd team for helping me get just the right sparkle

Shaman Modifications is absolutely top notch. I had a helix piercing done here and everything went beautifully until I had to size down to a shorter post. A few months later it had become a bit swollen and uncomfortable and the back had started pulling into my ear. I was nervous I'd done something to cause the problem and put off going into the shop for weeks. When I finally went in I was seen promptly and treated with absolute care. My ear was painful to the touch but the removal was done deftly so the pain only lasted a few seconds. The employees have this level of calm that makes you feel very at ease, whether they're piercing you or removing a piercing from a painfully swollen ear. Can't recommend them enough!

I cannot express my gratitude enough for this piercing parlors employees, Mercedes and Kane (spellcheck?). Before coming in, I called twice. Once to confirm I could come in and with a few questions. I believe it was Kane that answered and they were so patient, kind, and welcoming. When they said "we hope you'll come in", I took it as my sign that I must get this Helix piercing! The establishment takes safety precautions very seriously. You don't have to wear a mask, but they're sure to wear them, along with gloves, plastic wrap, etc. Comparing to where my sisters went, this was already a huge step above. They were also very patient in answering my many pricing questions. The jewelry is a bit out of my budget, but the quality and service can't be beat. I could've decided on probably 15 different studs but chose the hammer disc to stay within budget. All in, my cost was $202 with the 20% tip included. Piercing and aftercare for the Helix starts at $76. I will say that the care and safety precautions make the price worthwhile. So, this is my second time piercing my cartilage. The first time was at Claire's and it got infected pretty badly. I got my other ear pierced this time and WOW! Immediately a difference. The education on the piercing and the professionalism from Mercedes is above par. Absolutely amazing. I wish I got more pierced, honestly. I haven't felt any pain whatsoever from the piercing and the piercing itself was so easy and almost painless, honestly. I recommend coming here again and again. I've also been very sure to NOT TOUCH IT! Key information! Now go get pierced. Quick backstory - went on a sister trip to Austin and we were trying to find something we could all do to commemorate the trip. My sisters got their ears pierced but I couldn't fit into the appt or really make up my mind. When they flew out the next morning, I regretted not being a part and wanted to go myself and surprise them with a picture when they landed. It worked out perfectly!

Shaman Modifications was great. The staff is very, very thorough with sanitation and assisting people on a first come, first serve basis. That being said, I'd suggest booking out about an hour+ for whatever you are having done here (from jewelry purchases to piercings).I came in looking for a simple jewelry for my older industrial piercing, and was very satisfied with what I got. I appreciated that my ear was measured and that I was given suggestions for the length. I loved that they also placed the barbell as well.

By far the best piercing experience I have ever had. Jason was my piercer, and he answered all my questions and easily walked me through the next year in keeping a healthy piercing. I was a walk-in on a Sunday afternoon around 2:30pm and waited only a few minutes. They were so thorough and listened to what I was looking for and made the best recommendations. I am extremely happy with my nose piercing and would 110% recommend to anyone.
