HTC Uptown Body Piercing

Went in today to get my septum done by Richard and he was awesome! He was very professional, comforting, and talked me through it every step of the way. He was informative with aftercare and just all around an awesome guy. I won’t go anywhere else but HTC for piercings!

When my daughter insisted she was eager to have her ears pierced, I asked for referrals on a couple different Facebook «mommy» pages. This lead to me narrowing my search down to three specific piercing/​tattoo shops. Marilyn, the manager, performed the piercing. She was really sweet, very professional, and most importantly… patient! After the first ear was pierced, my daughter suddenly had reservations, and needed some time to walk around and process her thoughts on the matter. Marilyn never rushed her or made her feel pressured. My daughter didn’t want to leave with just one ear done, so it took awhile for her to come back around and complete the second ear. I was grateful the entire staff was supportive and patient. We left with both ears pierced, and a happy girl. The shop was very clean and professionally run, and we were given very clear aftercare instructions.

Love HTC in Uptown! I’ve been pierced by Marilyn as well as had jewelry changed out by her, Jacob, and Richard. Friendly atmosphere, no attitudes, everyone there is very well informed about jewelry, various piercings, and aftercare. They were also great about helping me order custom jewelry.

Love HTC! I got my navel piercing at Halo and they didn’t give great aftercare instructions and wouldn’t downsize as quickly as I wanted. Went to HTC and Marilyn was great! So friendly, honest, and knowledgable. The shop also had an awesome jewelry selection and gave me free sea salt and detailed instructions for how to soak my piercing. Will absolutely be back– their personalities sold me, but the service and expertise was the cherry on top!

I absolutely adored my piercer Marilyn when I went in for a nose piercing. She immediately was super informative, comforting, and funny. She pierced my nose so quick, my eye barely watered until after she was done. I highly recommend this shop, but more specifically Marilyn, she works Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesdays. The studs were a little pricey compared to other places I have been but the selection they have there is unparalleled.

Called earlier to inquire about Tegus piercing and was told I could only do one ear at a time so I could sleep on the other side. At first I was bummed but it made a lot is sense and I appreciated that my piercer was more concerned about a positive outcome than making the money all in one day. I feel so bad I forgot his name but he was awesome. Explained every step and gave detailed after care instructions, even salt to make a rinse and help it heal. I’ll definitely be back to do the other side and whatever else I can think of because although I’m a big baby the piercing wasn’t very painful at all. Super clean shop, my piercer changed gloves at least three or four times during the quick process. The chick at the front desk was super friendly and knowledgable also. I’ve already referred them to a friend. Great experience!

I went in today to get my nipples pierced. The shop is clean and the staff is friendly. The woman at the front (I forgot her name-​sorry) was super informative, showed me jewelry for ear piercings and wasn’t bothered when I decided to just go with my nipples. Rick and the woman at the front were honest, and not only there to make money.
My piercer was Rick (or Richard I don’t know what he prefers) and he was super professional, and even though I was topless I felt comfortable because he kept steady eye contact, and ensured I was properly informed about jewelry sizes, what to expect, and making sure I was comfortable. Overall great experience and I plan on going back there soon to get not only new jewelry but more piercings!

Great experience! Costumer service was awesome. They were very knowledgable and helpful with assisting me in making my decision as to what would be the best option for me. I will definitely be returning.

First and foremost, the atmosphere at HTC Uptown is perfect! As soon as you walk in you feel relaxed and all the jitters go away. My boyfriend and I were greeted by Brian (Bryan, don’t know the spelling). He was so nice and just spoke to us like we were all friends. I got pierced by Jacob. I saw awesome Unilocal reviews about him and knew I wanted the best of the best for my septum piercing. He walked me through everything and could tell I was super nervous. He made me laugh and smile and most of all very relaxed. The pain was just as much as I thought. It’s so quick and tolerable. Not too bad at all. It looks great. I’m so happy I finally manned up and did it and I’m so glad that I got to meet these two gents. Great place. Highly recommended!

Have yet to be pierced here, but Bryan and Marilyn were awesome with helping me place a custom septum clicker order and changing out jewelry!

I got my nipples pierced by Marilyn last weekend and was terrified of the pain, but she was absolutely amazing and quick. I highly recommend her, especially if you are nervous whatsoever. She walks you through everything and tells you when to breathe. I will definitely be returning to the uptown location for any future piercings by Marilyn.

Richard was absolutely fantastic. He was professional, very knowledgeable & just awesome in general. I used to be a halo precision fanatic for years but have gladly switched over to HTC for any more future piercings & referrals to Richard. I love my new tragus jewelry!

Love the jewelry at the Phoenix location and every piercing I’ve had from HTC Tempe location has healed beautifully. I haven’t had the greatest luck with piercings healing until I started getting them at HTC. Service at both locations has always been great. Yes, sometimes there is a wait– go there earlier and not on weekends!

So slow, one person working. Came in for daughters follow up at 2.5 hrs later still waiting. Managed poorly. When you have 12 people waiting for hours you don’t just sit and chat. Get the work done and get to next person.

As a teenager, my ears were pierced. I didn’t take care of them, and let them close up. As a adult, I longed for pierced ears again, but the mall shops wouldn’t do it, they don’t pierce scar tissue. I thought I was out of luck. I never thought to check out piercing shops untill a friend suggested it. HTC is worlds away from mall shops. HTC is personal and friendly, and it is far less painful to use a needle than a gun to pierce ears. They take cleanliness and sterility seriously. I’ll be back!

I went to HTC Uptown because my boyfriend had a great experience at HTC Tempe. Well, I can say the same! Marilyn did my double helix piercing and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. I’ll admit, I was pretty nervous and I had a lot of questions but Marilyn was very thorough and made me feel comfortable from the get go. I would definitely recommend HTC to everyone and I will be back! Thank you, Marilyn!

I have seen Richard at the Uptown location several times for several different things from being pierced, to managing an old piercing to having microdermals removed. He is not only extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his profession, but very personable. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Plus the shop is always bright and clean and they have a very wide selection of jewelry and their prices are very reasonable for the quality piercing and jewelry you receive.

Omg! Jacob is amazing. He gave me some great advice on an old piercing that has given some irritation over the years. I was trying to get it repierced; instead he gave me something practical to try. He is very professional and quite knowledgeable about the way the body works! I will be back to get my jewelry from here.

I haven’t had any new piercings in the last 7 years, and even then it was just my ears. Then last night I decide to finally get something I’ve been wanting for the past decade. I showed up some time between 8:30 and 9 PM, was greeted right away, and was made to feel comfortable from the get go. My piercings were done by Jacob, and he was fabulous (super professional and very friendly). As of right now, I couldn’t be happier with them, and look forward to getting my next piercing there :)
