Multnomah Body Piercing

Nope never again!! Me and my sister-in-law went in for a deal day thinking it'd be a good place despite how cheap the price was because of the ratings on here but that definitely wasn't our experience! The girl helping us was very nice she helped us out quickly it was all good! Though we didn't get to pick out out jewelry at all which is sketchy but with the price I should've expected that! Then Chris called my sister-in-law up for her turn. He was very aggressive and rough and seemed like he was rushing for some reason. He did her daith first which he bent up real bad. Then because she didn't know the name of the piercing and because he didn't mark the spot and show her first but just went straight in, he gave her a completely different piercing than she wanted! She wanted an inner helix but instead got a rook piercing! He even said that because they were so close together he was having trouble! He put the wrong piece of jewelry in first so he had to take it out and put in the right one! And remember he's being extremely rough the whole time so he was shoving everything in really hard! He was also kinda shaking the whole time like he was nervous or something and kept dropping the jewelry into her hair! She didn't say anything to him about the wrong placement though. Once she was done it was my turn so of course I was terrified and made sure to repeat myself a couple times on what I wanted cuz he didn't look at my paperwork in between getting done with her and starting with me. He was again really aggressive and rough with me. He did my Tragus first, again without dotting it and checking with me and then putting in the jewelry hurt worse than the piercing itself because he shoved it in really hard! My daith went pretty much the same! After I was done he handed me a little thing of sea salt (he didn't give any to my sister-in-law) but didn't explain anything no aftercare instructions, no downsize timeframe nothing so I wasn't even sure why he gave me the sea salt because my normal place uses saline spray! My sister-in-law was extremely unhappy about the rook mishap so she told the front desk if the other piercer could take it out and give her the one she wanted! We had to wait a while but she did it for her and was really sweet and gentle and took her time! Even said she could come back and she'd replace the daith ring for free! Today though I stopped into my normal shop since I wasn't told any aftercare instructions or anything about downsizing and the apprentice there said both aren't the correct placements. My daith ring is also bent wonky and the gauge and diameter are wrong as well and both piercings may need to be repierced so I have to go back in tomorrow and find out from my normal piercer!! Won't ever be going back to this place!! Quality over quantity people!!! Spend the extra money and get your piercings done right!!

Went in to get my septum pierced the other day and told the lady that I DID NOT want horseshoe jewelry and told me I could get a hoop instead so I choose a hoop instead of horseshoe. After I got pierced and looked in the mirror the piercer, who's name was Kimberly, put in the wrong jewelry after I made it clear that I did not want a horseshoe. If your looking for good quality piercings I recommend Paramount tattoo studio who offers 2 for 25$ piercings.

You get what you pay for. I've been a loyal customer since 2008, back when they had their Troutdale location open. They used to be great, but nowadays they are a rush piercing shop. In it for the money, and not the quality. I had two piercings done about 3 weeks ago, and one piercing changed out. Chris broke one of my hoops during his rough handling. $15 I had spent on it only a few weeks before. He then refused to use a piece of jewelry I purchased from them for my conch, so I still have my extremely long original jewelry in. It's awkward, and needs changing. I'm sad to see the way this shop has changed over the years.

I wanted to put 3 and half stars but it won't let me, I got my septum pierced today and I got the horse shoe jewelry. Im going to start off by saying that if you have anxiety I wouldn't suggest getting pierced here. I dont even have bad anxiety but the guy who pierced my septum went so fast that I didnt have time to process what was happening, I did ask him to go a bit slower after seeing how fast he pierced my moms nose but I don't think he took my request seriously. Im also pretty positive he pierced the cartilage and not the "soft spot" because he didn't even try to find it and it hurt a lot. The balls of my septum piercing are also quite big but thats pretty easily fixed so I'm not too concerned about it.

Note that I have only been here once. The gentleman that pierced my ears seemed polite to costumers. However when he pierced them, on both sides he put the [piercing] needle through and then pulled on my ear when he would reach to grab something. Making it feel like I was receiving 2 piercings on each side, in the same place. Claire's was less painful...

I've been going here for the last few piercings I've gotten and I've never had a complaint. The employees are personable and kind. I always recommend my friends to come here for piercings. Great sales too.

I've been going here since before they moved locations, got my ears pierced in the mall with a gun when I was 12 and the posts embedded quickly, I went to Multnomah for help and they fixed me up with some surgical steel hoops and saline spray. I'm 22 now and since then I've gotten multiple lobes, an industrial, a daith, a navel, a labret, and two nostrils at Multnomah, all 13 of my piercings were done at this shop by 3 different artists. They use iodine, needles, and surgical steel, highly professional and affordable.

I came here today to get my nose re-pierced and a belly button piercing. I’m overall really happy with my experience. The older lady with glasses, and the younger lady with the purple hair who were upfront were super friendly and made me feel welcome. The male piercer was pretty quick doing both peircings, I believe his name was Chris. He pierced my belly button and I didn’t even know it was already finished. I personally think he was sort of rough putting the jewelry in, but nothing terrible. He seemed in a rush and he also didn’t offer me the sea salt for cleaning, and had to be reminded by the purple haired girl (I hate calling her that but I don’t remember her name) but hey, we’re all human and forget things sometimes 😊 I’d come back for my future piercing needs and I would refer my friends to come here for theirs! Shop seemed very clean, and I loved the friendly vibe.

As always, I love this place. I've been pierced here a total of six times, my nose and the first time I got my tongue done by Sheryl who is always kind. Tried another place for my septum piercing and decided I preferred and would stick to this place permanently and am so happy I did, I had 4 piercings yesterday back-to-back, re-pierced my tongue, the other side of my nose, a philtrum/medusa and a tragus piercing and the piercer Chris was very quick, everything was pierced correctly and I couldn't be more happy with my new jewelry. From the moment I walked in, to having 4 piercings and I was out the door in 20 minutes. I love that their new location is much closer to me, the place was clean, organized and friendly.

I've gotten almost all my piercings and my first tattoo here and ill keep coming back for more! Kent does an amazing job and they're good to their customers. I've come in several times with help getting a ball put back on my jewelry or getting a nose ring put it so they're very helpful.
