I was trying to find somewhere to fit me in for a nose piercing but most places had appointment only. My mom and I went to Gypsy Hill and they were able to squeeze me in just an hour after we showed up. The staff was incredibly nice and gave lots of helpful information. Pat did my nostril piercing and made me feel very relaxed. He explained everything as he was doing it and had me practice some breathing techniques to help calm me down beforehand. The jewelry they have to choose from is beautiful and reasonably priced. You get what you pay for for both the jewelry and experience. Next time I want another piercing or want to change my jewelry, I will undoubtedly be going here and requesting Pat. Thank you guys for making me comfortable and giving me a great experience!

My son and I had our ears pierced here today. It was a great experience. My son had one lobe pierced and I had one helix pierced. The service was excellent. Everyone was professional, very kind, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The shop itself was very clean and well lit. We will absolutely go back! I highly recommend them.

I don’t have words and enough adjectives to describe how wonderful this place is. They went above and beyond to fit my sister and I in for tattoos I’ve been wanting for a decade. Customer service and cleanliness is top notch. Many thanks to Alli, Kim and Chris. This is forever my go to shop.

When my daughter decided she wanted to get her ears pierced, she was excited but a little nervous. Pat was absolutely incredible to work with. He walked her through every step and made sure she felt confident and calm. Her ears look great, and she left feeling so happy. I will definitely come back for any future piercings.

Everyone was friendly! I booked an appointment online. Got reminders about when it was coming up. The day of, I entered, they had me wear a mask and ask for my hands to be washed. Pat came over and explained my options of earrings for a tragus piercing. I selected the golden dagger push pin which has a lifetime warranty on it. Though I was sticker shocked from the price, ultimately, it is well worth it to remain in my body.After selecting, he prepped the piece and table. He explained what was going to happen. I really appreciated his enthusiasm for his work and the process.It didnt hurt too much but whew, the pressure through the tragus was rough. Which Pat warned about. Once done, the piercing looked great! He asked me to come back in 2 weeks so they could check how it has healed. Which I did. Everything is going well. This is going on week 3 of the piercing.I am already planning to go back to Pat for a daith piercing. He is the one to work with! I felt comfortable the entire time.

Pat and the rest of the entire staff are extremely helpful and professional! Pat took the time to really think and get creative with the piercing I wanted, and he was adamant about making sure we got it done right which I appreciate so much! I was very well taken care of and I cant wait to come back for my next piercing!

Definitely recommend this place for piercings💯. Pat is awesome, consistent and precise. You will not be disappointed at all. Ive seen him for every dermal piercing I have and I havent had one issue with any of my piercings. 🤞🏾I did receive a tattoo from here once by Jaq who I believe isnt there anymore but I did love my tattoo. 💜 I do plan on getting another so Ill update this whenever I get my next tattoo 😁The vibes here are cool for the most part. I thought one of the females was rude/dry initially but thats just off small interaction. There is a new guy, eehhh hes cool just felt like I showed up for an interview when I met him. 🥸Overall, I do recommend this place. Its safe, clean, chill and friendly. 😌

Everyone at the shop was so nice and welcoming! Everyone was wearing a mask :) Emity pierced my septum and the experience was wonderful.

I had a GREAT experience at Gypsy Hill/Golden Falcon when I went to get my nose pierced. I have had my nose done a few times a couple years back and this was BY FAR the greatest experience I have had. Everyone was extremely friendly from the guy checking me in (did not catch name) and helping my pick out my jewelry and stay within my budget. Emity pierced my nose and she ran me through every single step and every single instrument she used and when she would use them. It was extremely professional, thoughtful, and comforting. She followed up with instructions on how to clean the piercing and sent me home with solution. Pat was also helpful in helping my select the size stud I wanted and i 100% trusted his judgement! I 10/10 recommend! I will be going back for a tattoo and possibly more piercings from Emity :)

Pat was friendly and knowledgeable. He asked pertinent questions and gave experienced advice. The way he took me through the process reminded me of how you would proceed with a typical medical procedure, explaining every detail before doing it. It was quick and relatively painless.

All the staff I have interacted with and/or had modify my body were truly nice, professional, and amazing. I will truly sing praises for all of them. Patrick is an AmaInf and knowledgeable piercer, Jeff is an amazingly talented artist, and Tyler is also an amazing artist! I definitely want to try getting a tattoo from Kimberly eventually!

Ty is awesome! Very attentive to detail, listened to all my little critiques and helped create the perfect design. Did a wonderful job making the process as easy as possible for me. I have low blood sugar and began to feel ill at the very beginning, and he took great care to make sure I was comfortable and didn’t pass out, lol! The shop is also very COVID friendly, wiping down credit cards, masks, etc. Added some photos of the beautiful design below :)

Emily was my piercer and she did amazing ! I got my nose pierced on my 18th birthday and she made me feel so comfortable & explained EVERYTHING in detail (what she was going to do, how to care for the nose piercing, what each tool was for, etc). I would 200% recommended Gypsy Hill because they truly do care for you to have an incredible experience.. one of the best piercings I’ve ever gotten !! Everything was so so clean and the covid precautions they are taking are greatly appreciated!

Gypsy Hill has done 9 tattoos for me. The store is clean, which is very important to me, and I have always felt like I was in good hands while I was there. If you want a tattoo I couldnt recommend them more. They are a knowledgeable staff and (again cannot stress how important it is to me) very clean.

Review №34

I have several piercings already (from other places) but the experience here was by far the best Ive ever had. Pat was so sweet and kind and answered all my questions, but also gave me so much information about what he was doing and how it worked that I honestly didnt have that many questions to ask anyway, which was great because I like to know whats going on. The whole studio was very cognizant of staying distanced and I had my temperature taken before entering and had to wash my hands and wipe down my phone and ID, as well as having to wear a mask. One thing that really stood out to me - in a good way - was that Pat asked if I was okay with laying on the table before asking me to do so (I was getting 2 ear piercings). This wasnt something I had even thought twice about and was totally comfortable doing, but I loved that he had the thought to ask because some people may not be comfortable doing so and he made sure I was before asking me to.Every other place Ive gone for piercings has seemed as if theyre trying to crank through clients to get as many people in as possible, and while I understand that to some extent because the artists do need to make money, I very much appreciated that here I didnt feel rushed and Pat really cared that I knew how to take care of my piercings and expects to see me back in 6 weeks to make sure things are healing well, and said not to hesitate to message him if something doesnt seem right. This isnt a one and done kind of place, they care that what they do looks good and continues to look good as it heals and beyond. I will definitely be coming back here for more piercings in the future!!Also I wanted to mention here that several other reviews mention the price is way too high, but considering the professionalism and the continued services they offer after the initial piercing appointment, I think the price is totally fair. I got my tragus and helix pierced, and picked maybe the mid price range jewelry, and paid about $205 which covered both piercings, jewelry for both, aftercare cleaner, checkup appointments, downsizing once the swelling goes down, service fees, and taxes, plus I can message Pat whenever I have issues with my piercings and the jewelry is guaranteed for life, so to me thats a damn reasonable price to pay for someone putting a foreign object through your body 😝

Review №36

My friend and I came to get a few piercings. We were told they were running late and I asked how much longer they would end up taking, and the man told us half an hour. We ended up waiting outside for a long time before he bothered assisting us. In total, my friend and I waited for over an hour from our appointment time.When we picked out our jewelry, we quickly realized that the prices for the jewelry did not match with what they listed on their website. The funniest part of the experience was when the employee explained the prices and told us the $20 deposit we paid online was a discount on the total prices. On the website, it says that jewelry begins at $20. I will be clear to you how their pricing works, each earring on its own will be a price, so if you are getting it on both ears, multiply it by two. Then, they will charge you for a post to go on the back of the earring SEPARATELY. A single post is $20. If you get both ears, multiply by two again. The $20 minimum is inaccurate. Be prepared to pay much more than that.After we picked out our jewelry, we were invited to wait on the couch while they sanitized the piercing. The employee told us that he wanted another customer to come in, so we had to leave. He also told us that he would let us back in as soon as the customer chose his jewelry. We were a bit annoyed at this point since we waited for over half an hour outside previously. We understood though, so we complied and waited outside. After we watched the customer finish selecting jewelry, he did tell us to return inside, so we waited for the remaining half hour outside.While I waited for my friend to complete her piercing, one of the piercers came out and put back a piece of jewelry. The man at the front asked what happened and the piercer whispered something in his ear. The employee groaned and rolled his eyes. The piercer was also visibly annoyed. The employee was working on printing a form and began slammed closed the printer. I later asked my friend what happened. Apparently the customer decided to not get a piercing. From this point on, I became uncomfortable at the hostility of their staff.My actual piercing experience felt standard. The piercer explained what he would do and the aftercare process. I did not feel uncomfortable during the piercing and he was fairly informative.The employees treated my friend and I passive aggressively up until the payment, when they became much more friendly. They also do a weird thing where they provide an estimate of prices beforehand, only to give a completely different price afterwards. When I received my estimate, I was informed that it would cost $85 in total, and the actual cost would be within $5 more or less. The actual total ended up being $105 not including tip. I was pretty fed up at this point so I just paid, left a tip, and left as fast as possible.Overall, I really cannot recommend this piercing shop because you can find someplace much cheaper and friendly. I guess if you have time to kill and some extra money to waste you can come to Gypsy Hill.

Review №38

I set up and paid for 2 back to back appointments for my daughter (ears) and I with a note saying I needed a piercing (nostril) and a shortening. Repeatedly said I am moving at the end of this week. They misread the instructions and bumped my appt. I call to see if I could get in to get my bar shortened and was told “it’s not a problem if it’s long”.I had a great experience with Pat first go around. It sucks to leave with a feeling like you aren’t wanted and the continued care of your piercing (we had a nice chat about it snagging and bleeding) isn’t a priority.I am waiting for my deposit refund through Venmo…

I was really nervous about getting a second pair of lobe piercings, but Pat was absolutely wonderful and made me feel so comfortable. He was very calm and professional and explained the process to me and talked me through each step. He also gave me great advice for taking care of my piercings afterward. All around, this was an awesome experience and I’ll definitely be visiting again for a cartilage piercing soon!

I went to Gypsy Hill to get my ears re-pierced after closing. As soon as I walked in, Emity checked me in and helped me select earrings within my price point and style preference. Overall, the experience with Emity was fantastic. She is so knowledgable and was extremely communicative throughout the whole process. While she was sanitizing the earrings, she walked me through every step of the procedure. She explained how she would use each piece of equipment prior to starting and then walked me through each step again as she pierced my ears. I have had other piercings before, and have never felt so comfortable or aware of what was going on as I did with Emity. She also was extremely thorough when discussing aftercare for the piercing. I will make sure to request Emity for all my future piercings!

I came here with my 8 year old daughter to have her ears pierced. Pat was PHENOMENAL! He took the time to explain everything to her and was super patient when she was looking at all the different earring options. I was beyond pleased that he required my daughters consent to have her ears pierced (and of course my consent). I also set up an appointment for myself at the same time. I had my ears re-pierced after originally having them done with a piercing gun 30+ years ago. If you ever had the gun then you probably remember the pain and trauma it caused. Emity was SO AMAZING!! Needle piercing is so much better!! Very slight, but quick, discomfort and you’re done! Emity also focused on education and consent. I’m an RN and I know sterile procedure when I see and I SAW IT! Super clean studio and amazing staff. My 5 year old who was with us tends to be a bit anxious in new situations and she happily sat next to us without a care in the world. So, why should you come see Pat and Emity? 1. Super clean and friendly environment. 2. Amazing staff that are trained in their craft. 3. Communication happens the second you get here and that means no surprises. 4. Education and consent so everyone is on the same page. Don’t go somewhere else and have an untrained store employee pierce you. Come here for your piercings from the trained professionals. You won’t regret it!! Tip: if a child is being pierced check to see what documentation you will need to bring with you to prove that you are their legal guardian.

The neighborhood is beautiful. I seriously want to buy a house there. The shop is clean and brightly lit. Pat pierced my daughter’s septum. He was very patient with her. Pat explained everything he was going to do. After the procedure Pat allowed my daughter to sit until her adrenaline jitters calmed down. Pat even told us to call back in 6 weeks for a follow up appointment. That really reassured me about Pat. It’s not just about making money. He wants to make sure his clients are okay.

Got a tattoo from Tyler- I was able to give him a vague list of features/ideas I wanted, and he sketched up an amazing design that incorporated everything I wanted, but also had that “artistic vision” that I didn’t have.

I reached out to Tyler for a consultation about an Avatar: The Last Airbender tattoo and we ended up having two of them, bouncing ideas back and forth until we could set an appointment date.

Much thanks to Tyler for his patience, availability and flexibility.

Review №62

My friend and I each made an appointment here at 4 pm to get nostril piercings. When we got there, we were told there was a hold up so they would call us in half hour, so my friend and I waited. At 4:30 they called and told us we could come in, but then said that they actually needed longer so theyd call us in another 30 minutes... So we waited even though we were frustrated that our time wasnt being taken seriously because we werent walk in clients, but had appointments set up. When they didnt call in another 30 minutes, we eventually called them ourselves and they said we could come in, but this was also upsetting because it took us calling first to find out we could come in. My friend and I went in one at a time, and I went first. Stephanie was sweet to us, and Pat (the piercer) was indeed knowledgable about his work, but he was impatient and short with me at first. After I chose a piercing, I mentioned that the silver one I chose would clash with my gold jewelry but it would be fine I suppose. He looked at me surprised I was considering gold, and didnt show me the gold options until I specifically asked to see them, which bothered me that he made this assumption about me, and for me. Once we chose our jewelry, they said they would need another 25 minutes to sterilize them so they would call us when its ready. Again...we waited. 45 minutes. It was 6:20 at this point and we decided we wanted to take our business elsewhere because it genuinely did not feel like they valued our time at ALL and we just had to go at that point! Anyways, Im sure if you can actually get in to get a piercing, Pat would have been great but the service was awful in our experience. Also just the labor for a nostril piercing in the totals for my friend and I came out to be $100--and remember that is just for labor not including the jewelry. So expensive and no nose piercings and a waste of a day.

I went in with a friend to get my nose pierced. My friend got a new cartilage piercing. Pat was super professional, and explained everything to me before the piercing. He even gave me gloves so I could feel the sterilized piercing and how to handle it if it ever comes out. I appreciated being talked through everything as he was placing the piercing. I had a great experience.

The whole appointment lasted maybe 30 minutes start to end, he explained the whole process to me as he did it, and he used sanitary, individually packed tools (needle, titanium jewelry, etc.) on me. I kinda want to get more piercings just so I can go back... :) I had a great time! Thanks Pat!

When I scheduled my appointment, I was in complete awe with what she created.Everything was clean, and fresh out the packaging. Kim played some great music and we had a wonderful conversation as she worked on my piece. When everything was said and done, I walked away scheduling another appointment.I highly recommend. 10/10

I decided to drive out further than I usually do for my tattoos, but this place is absolutely worth that. My artist was Tyler and he was professional as well as friendly and helpful. On top of that, the place is clean, and with Covid19 still an issue right now they were super serious about keeping things sanitized and keeping people 6ft apart. I highly recommend this shop and the artists there. I will be going back!

I just got my septum piercing done here and Pat explained everything he was doing in such a nice and calming way, and he was more than willing to answer all my questions. I felt extremely comfortable and am absolutely in love with my piercing! The shop is very sanitary so that made me feel even better. I also got a tattoo done by Jeff back when they were still on Franklin St. around January and my tattoo has healed nicely. I trust this shop and cant wait to go again whenever I want another piercing or tattoo!

Review №87

I went here recently to get a tattoo. The staff was extremely unprofessional, as they complained about multiple clients in front of me. The owner was rude and acted as if the other employees were a burden to her, specifically the girl who answers phones and seems to be in training to become an artists. As soon as she left the shop the owner made multiple complaints in front of me about things she had done. My piece was over priced, the quality of it was okay but I am Positive I could Have gotten better quality at a different shop for a better price. They also require aftercare which adds $20 to the cost of the tattoo whether you want to use their aftercare or not. Overall I had a bad experience and won’t be returning. I honestly regret leaving a tip because they were getting so much of my money to begin with. The location was convenient because there are many shops in chapel hill, however; I would recommend going to Durham and checking out twisted sixes or dogstar. Both of which I know Will give a better experience for a better price.

Was really scared because it was my first tattoo, Tyler was fantastic. He told me everything that he was going to do thoroughly and let me ask questions. The tattoo came out really great!Everyone else who works there is also very nice. Clean, very professional but still a chill atmosphere.Will definitely come again in the future!

I set an appointment online, which was an easy process. On the day of the appointment (in the midst of COVID), I went to Gypsy Hill and they followed proper procedures to keep their customers and employees safe.The breakdown of pricing was laid out for me before we started. Pat and I then went back and he walked me through his piercing process and recommended aftercare process thoroughly. He was very mindful of my future ideas with the piercing and made sure the placement would accommodate what I eventually wanted.This is an amazing place that makes caring about its customer known. Even going to the lengths of asking me to set another appointment in a couple of months to check on the healing.If youre wanting a new piercing or tattoo, this should be your go to place.

Tyler was my tattoo artist and he was so amazing! Very friendly and talkative to help ease any nerves! Also incredibly talented and skilled. He did a small bunch of tattoos on my forearm and was able to put so much detail into each and every one of them. Definitely recommend.

I’ve been getting work done by Kimberly for almost 7 years now. I refuse to let anyone else touch me because she has done so much with the choppiness I had (almost 2 full sleeves by her). Her attention to detail and her artistic ability are worth beyond my expectations every time, you will not be disappointed.I travel 10 hrs just to have her work on me just because I know how awesome the outcome will be.

I went in to get 3 tattoos and was not able to decide on spot and boldness of tattos. Tyler was really patient and explained me about the needle sizes and how it would effect boldness of tattos. He also took his time and explained me clearly about the right spots for tatoos. He didnt rush me through the process and gave me the time I needed to think and decide. I ended up getting 2 tatoos done as I was not able to decide on 3rd. Coming to his work, he is so precise and I really liked the outcome. I would definitely go back for 3rd tattoo once I decide.

I cant say enough good things about my experience at Gypsy Hill. The entire place is spotlessly clean, and theyve got lots of measures in place for Covid that made me feel safe and comfortable. Tyler was super kind and professional, plus he did a great job on my adorable new tattoo. This is fantastic place to go if youre feeling the itch for a new tattoo but have been nervous about the process during this pandemic. Highly recommend.

I had one of the best tattooing experiences with Gypsy Hill. Their store is clean and they have several COVID guidelines in place. Tyler worked with me to get the exact look I wanted for my tattoo and I couldnt be happier! Its been healing really nicely and is definitely my favorite tattoo I have so far.

Inconsistent advice. Very rude. They want to pitch themselves as knowledgeable professions. I don’t think they actually are. They claim to know more than doctors but couldn’t give straight consistent advice. I would not recommend

I went today and was able to get a piercing from Pat! This place is absolutely fantastic! The environment is so welcoming and professional. Pat walked me through the entire procedure and answered all of the questions I could have had. Everything was super clean, and you can tell that they care a ton about their customers and take their art very seriously. Im so thankful that they worked me into their schedule. Thank you so much!!!
