Evolution is amazing and I cant recommend highly enough. I got 4 piercing done in one day and the staff were incredible. The piercer I got was careful and meticulous and ensured everything looked perfect and with a minimum of pain. Best of all, they are careful about sterilizing products so my piercings are healing better than any other ones I have ever had done. The price of evolution is slightly higher than other places, but is totally worth it to avoid infection after piercing and to ensure the piercings are exactly what you want. Definitely recommend to anyone interested in piercings in Albuquerque.
Its always a great experience! This is the only place I will go to get pierced and I drive in from Gallup. Its well worth the trip because the staff are great and the work is awesome! All the piercers are amazing! Thank you for giving me a unique look! ❤️
I went here on appointment and everyone here held a level of professionalism. I didn’t know what to expect for my first piercing, but Allen hooked it up and made the experience awesome with good conversation and sound explanations of the whole process. Cool people, good vibes, professional setting. Thanks for my septum piercing, I love it!!!
First and my only body piercing.Before opening appointment was arranged.Inside was delightful to my eye, the space is very well done, relaxing.Staff is A+++. Professional, and caring. Questions asked got answers.Any fears I had disappeared.Would I recommend Evolution, absolutely
My 4 year old wanted her ears pierced and having 0 piercings myself, I asked around. every single person I talked to told me I needed to go to evolution and see Noah. I did exactly that and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. From the second we walked in the whole staff was so sweet with my daughter. Then we met Noah and he talked her through the whole process, and made her feel comfortable and at ease. I was more nervous than my daughter and just hearing Noah explain the process to my daughter made me feel more at ease too. There was an apprentice with him and she was so thorough in explaining how to clean her piercings and what to expect when we got home. Then when we were finished, all the staff we came in contact with complimented my baby’s new piercings and made her feel beautiful. We walked out of the shop and my daughter said she felt like a princess. Thank you to Noah and all the staff at evolution for such a wonderful experience
Noah was super nice. This was my first time going to a professional body piercing and I felt they did an excellent job. The cleanliness is just superb.
First time for piercing, staff arranged before hours appointment.Answered the few questions I had.The folks there were great.I would highly recommend.
The staff are all welcoming, organized, and knowledgeable. I was pierced by Bethany today and it was the best piercing experience Ive ever had. I will never go anywhere else! Great selection of jewelry-one of the staff gave me great guidance in picking out my jewelry for my piercings and was all around patient as well as helpful! Bethany has an eye for placement and the piercings hurt a lot less than I anticipated! The apprentice that was assisting in the process was also really great. Clean, professional place to go to for all things body piercing.
Came in looking for new jewelery and was greeted with a broad selection of handmade pieces. Helpful staff and a great experience as soon as you enter the door.
Best place to get pierced in Albuquerque and the only place Ill trust. I had my nose pierced 2 years ago, it went well and healed beautifully! I just recently got my eyebrow pierced by Scott Self. Super awesome guy and did a great job with my piercing. Im in love with how my eyebrow looks and the best part is there wasnt much pain at all, and It feels like a natural part of my face now. Evolution is very clean and the staff is very friendly!
Very professional nice staff and very clean establishment. The person that did my daughters piercing explained the process thoroughly which helped her feel comfortable and relaxed. It would be nice to see the staff be a little bit more personable and not so robotic.
I got my nostril pierced yesterday by Noah - absolutely wonderful experience! I was super nervous because Id never gotten a facial piercing before, but Noah made the process very simple and calm - I hardly felt any pain. Everyone was very professional and kind! Id definitely go back for any other piercings in the future. Keep up the good work, and thank you!
Evolution is the only piercing establishment I will ever go to and recommend for good reason: the professionalism, cleanliness, and friendly demeanor of EVERY employee is top notch. I have received several piercings by Noah who always delivers outstanding, quality service (all of the piercers are amazing at their craft). Stunning jewelry selection as well. Don’t settle for less - others don’t compare!
Very professional place! The guy up front (forgot his name!) was so helpful & told me everything I need to know about my piercing. Syndesi helped me pick out the right size jewelry for my daith piercing! Noah was my piercer. He was very fast, nice, & professional. Definitely recommend coming here for your piercings!
Beautiful atmosphere and great employees. Only complaint I have is you cant really purchase jewelry just to purchase it. You have to have made a purchase within a certain amount of time with your info saved to the system in order to make purchases pertaining to your fit (size, dimension) of the type of ring you want. You cannot purchase anything outside your sizing or style for that matter.
Recently got pierced by Bethany and my experience was fantastic. I had been nervous but the staff and Bethany had treated me and my partner with kindness. I will definitely be coming back here for future piercings - Yani
Love this place. Only place I get my piercing. Very professional, clean and everyone is so nice!
I went in for a second opinion on my nose piercing that isn’t healing very well. Syndesi took a look, told me what was wrong, made some recommendations, and gave me fresh jewelry that he said will help it heal better. Overall, it was a great experience and I felt confident in his ability to help correct someone else’s problematic piercing. I would absolutely recommend him and Evolution to anyone looking for a piercing in the Albuquerque area!
Both of my daughters had their ears pierced here. Both were 5 years old when it was done. The tech. was super comforting and professional. Neither of my girls cried or had issues with pain afterwords. The jewelry has a flat back so it doesn’t cut into their head when they sleep. We’ll worth the trip and money!
This place is the amazing. As someone who has 20+ piercings I will never go anywhere else. The staff is completely knowledgeable, helpful, gentle, and sweet. It’s so comfortable and professional and clean!!! I will never go anywhere else. You cannot go wrong with evolution. They also have the cutest jewelry. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would.
All the staff is beyond amazing. Piercings have all been less painful than expected and placement is on point. They are great about supporting you after your piercing and are so professional!
The website says that they accept walk-in’s to purchase jewelry. So I drove all the way down there after work. I showed up an entire hour before they closed and called to be let in or put on a walk in list once I got there. The person on the phone told me that they were no longer accepting walk ins for the day since the piercers are leaving soon. Again, this was an entire hour before closing and I just wanted to buy jewelry. Attached is a photo proving that I literally showed up and was standing outside at exactly 6:00 when the website says they close at 7.
Fantastic service! The folks up front were very thorough in explaining the process to me and offered whatever options suited my fancy for jewelry. My piercer was Scott, who was very cheerful and detailed in his explanations. I have a bit of an aversion to needles, but Scott was so quick that I didn’t have time to amp up my anxiety! My piercing was quick and painless (nostril), and I left with the recommended aftercare products. Great selection, fantastic service, absolutely recommended! I’ll be back, for sure!
Place is pricey costed 330 for both kiddos first ear piercing and that included the cleaner the items are price based my youngest picked the highest priced earrings and my oldest picked the lower priced earrings so worth it! Also super clean and sanitary temp checks when first walk in and sanitizer given out the questions asked as well as a reminder to not touch our faces and to not touch anything to prevent sickness staff wears masks and customers are mandatory as well always cleaning between customers the whole process is done if you run out to your car! First time here first piercing we had Allan and he was awesome really thorough and great with my kids whom were nervous but excited and he explained to them everything they needed to know explained to me how to keep their piercing clean and made my kids feel at ease Allan did an awesome job! wasnt painful for them until later the usual expected Allan made us feel like we known each other for some time and that was an awesome thing for us definitely will be coming back to get my other 3 kiddos done highly recommend Allan! All around the staff were great!
Went in to get my septum changed to a higher quality jewelry, my septum is done throught cartilage so it hurts quite a bit the guy who changed my pericing was so nice, he talked me through it and used a tool to help change it so it wouldnt hurt me as much, the only downside is you have to wait outside and I was cat called multiple times while waiting so I would bring a ride that you can wait in I walked so I couldnt wait in my car
Love love love Evolution! Ive been coming here for years with many different needs and they have never let me down. Everyone there are so kind and helpful. The whole experience from the second you hit the door is professional and welcoming. I truly would never go anywhere else. 100,000,000% recommend!
Great attention to detail. Helped solve piercing issue for me. Nice jewelry selection too. Appreciated the ease of booking an appointment online.
A little pricey but super sweet staff. They answered all my questions I had. Very kind and welcoming to everyone.
Couldnt be happier with my navel piercing, it was almost painless and the placement is perfection.
Beth was amazing. She understood this was my first facial piercing and was a bit nervous but she made it feel all so easy. Will be coming back for more piercings and will definitely recommend to go here especially if its your first time getting piercings.
I went in for a nostril piercing. Scott Self was my piercer and he did an amazing job! We was very professional and clean and made me feel totally comfortable. He made sure I was completely content with the location of the piercing. He made the experience quick and easy.I would definitely recommend to friends and family and will be coming back for any future piercing needs.Thank you! 😊👍🏽
I took my 9 year old to get her ears pierced for her birthday. It was such a great experience. Allan was amazing with her and so patient, and he understood that she was a little nervous. He put her at ease and she is thrilled with how her earrings look. I highly recommend Evolution and Allan.
I got my septum pierced by Syndesi a few weeks ago and it was a great experience. The shops covid-safe procedures were excellent, which I really appreciated. Appointment times are respected and Syndesi was super professional and had a very gentle touch. I had a question regarding my piercing gauge/size a week later and the staff was great about getting back via email. A great experience all around - I highly recommend and would go back for future piercings in a heartbeat :)
I made an appointment 1 week prior at Evolution Body Piercing and during that whole week I didn’t receive any reminders of age requirements. They are listed in their website but there’s a 50/50 percent chance of someone actually looking at them when all they want is to get pierced. I went with my mother and even though she was present they refused to pierce my nose because I didn’t have proof that she is my mother/legal guardian, which was odd since my sister had been pierced at Evolution before and we all vividly recall that the only requirement was an adult present with an ID without a proof of relationship or an appointment needed. I asked if it was okay if she could get it and come back in a matter of minutes and they refused again saying that we backed up their other appointment. It was a waste of time and my mother and I were very disappointed and upset by the experience. I accept I might’ve made a mistake but to avoid this problem I think it’d be a lot more easier and professional to send a link of age requirements since I made my appointment 1 WEEK earlier.
I had a problem with a piercing that I got somewhere else and Evolution did a professional job of assessing and mitigating my problem. I am very pleased with the care and service I received.
Clean, kind, knowledgeable, and professional staff! This is THE place to go if you want a well informed body modification and great quality jewelry
Just Got my tongue pierced here!! Everyone was so nice and very helpful when I had questions and was feeling jittery. Very professional and are very sanitary regarding jewelry and everything in general. I will definitely being coming back in the future!!!!
Friendly staff, very knowledgeable! Would definitely recommend for all your piercing needs
Me and a friend had our nostrils pierced by Allan. He was great, walked us through steps, helped us feel comfortable. He was very thorough with cleaning and disinfecting. I’d 100% recommend him and Evolution!
Syndesi did our piercings and he was absolutely amazing. This place is pretty expensive but it’s honestly worth it for the atmosphere, cleanliness, COVID-19 precautions, and incredibly friendly staff. Syndesi himself was very kind and professional and made it clear that he wanted us to feel as safe and satisfied with our piercings as possible, and made sure that all of our questions/concerns were addressed before & after. The ladies at the front desk were also amazing & kind and thoroughly walked us through the jewelry and the aftercare process, and helped us pick out the best jewelry for what we were looking for. At no point did it feel like they were upselling anything, even when they recommended their own saline spray/soap they made it clear that there were other options available that would work just as well. You guys are awesome, thank you !!
I had to get my conch pierced 2x and its still crooked. I know piercers are trained to pierced with the anatomy of the ear, but I wanted it straight, completely level. The conch front hole placement was great, the back at first was lower than the front, got it taken out and re-pierced, same front hole spot, but the back hole way higher, so still at some kind of angle no matter how many times I vocalized I simply wanted them both to be lying on the same plain and straight. I got a rose gold sparkle stud, which is beautiful, but the whole stud isnt even rose gold, just the prong. The whole reason I wanted rose gold was so the entire bar and everything would match, but thats not the case and I didnt find out until I was home.
The staff are friendly, professional, and good at what they do. The building is clean and so are the instruments. I highly recommend Noah. He pierced my daughters ears and they look amazing and have healed well. He was also very caring and patient with her... she is 7!
This place is Amazing. Their staff is so nice and helpful. I got my septum and daith pierced by Syndesi and he did an great job. I was so excited to see me piercing just based off of his reaction. The girl at the front who checked me in was also so sweet I didn’t catch her name. Plus they are Very clean and professional. I will be going back for all of my piercings from them 100%.
Ive gotten six piercings here across four trips, and Ive never had a bad experience. Staff is incredibly welcoming and professional and answered all of my questions to my satisfaction. Piercings were quick and I was informed of everything that was going to happen before it happened, so I never felt surprised or anxious about what was happening/was going to happen. I have been pierced by Noah and Scott, and both are incredibly friendly and professional. I highly recommend them and Evolution if youre looking to get piercings or jewelry.
Easily the best studio in the city. The counter staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the piercers are top notch, and the management & record keeping is on point. Ive been a loyal customer for 10+ years.
Loved Bethany’s expertise. I felt so comfortable and she was so sweet to work with. If I get another piercing, I’d love to go back to her. As a whole, the studio was clean and they maintain an incredible level of professionalism, even with the COVID precautions. Thank you!
Awesome place to get a piercing. Clean and friendly environment. The piercer I had was so nice
Great experiance! They were all very informative and professional. Definitely recommend for all your piercing needs!
Fantastic! Syndesi pierced my 11 year olds ears and was so kind and personable. He gave her very clear instructions and helped her to feel calm and relaxed. 24 hours later and she doesnt have any pain, redness or swelling. This was 100% better than the mall piercing experience. I highly recommend them.
Bethany gave me my first conch piercing. She did a great job and they are healing really well. Thank you Bethany and Evolution.
Took my daughter got her nose pierced her first piercing the experience was amazing I really recommend this place very clean extraordinary people! Amazing customer service
Everyone is great and professional. Got a few piercings here but whenever any of my piercings were done by Scott... did not feel a thing! painless experience. Thank you sm.
Syndesi is the sweetest person and very helpful! Ive purchased quality jewelry, replaced healed piercings & getting pierced tomorrow, I am excited!
This is the 4th piercing I’ve received from Evolution over the past 6 years. I’ve had 2 done by Noah and 2 by Allan. Every time I’ve gone they have been clean, honest, and professional. I appreciate their dedication to keeping their costumers and employees safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. I will not go anywhere else in Albuquerque for a piercing. The environment they have created is so welcoming and comfortable. You guys are awesome. Keep up the good work. ☀️☀️☀️
Great experience! Very clean, professional, and friendly. I highly recommend visiting Evolution for any of your piercing needs
They are always great here! So professional and the shop is always immaculate. They went above and beyond to ensure the safety of customers and staff during covid. Highly recommend!
This place is the best! They are doing everything they can to keep you safe during Covid-19. I felt safe and well taken care of while I was there. Everyone is knowledgeable and they take your budget into consideration. Beautiful jewelry too! They picked out jewelry for my daith that I would never have picked out but looks beautiful! Very helpful with aftercare and they have supplies for you! Which is great because Im glad I dont have to go elsewhere when Im limiting my exposure to the public!
This place is awesome. Ive been coming here for years. Its hands down the best place to get pierced and the best place to get jewelry. Great staff as always.
Professional and friendly. I have had many piercings done here and they always do an amazing job.
This is the only place ill get pierced. Always clean and professional staff.
All staff was friendly, helpful and professional. COVID protocol was taken very seriously, screening questions were asked and temperature was taken at the beginning of the appointment. Capacity was kept to a minimum to ensure social distancing is possible. Everything is explained thoroughly, and the environment is clean and comfortable. I was pierced by Syndesi, he was well spoken gave me all the information I needed. I felt welcomed and comfortable. I got two piercings done, a nostril and a septum piercing. He did them with ease, and was very kind and patient. Would absolutely recommend this place and will definitely return...also their website is very helpful.
Best place in Albuquerque for piercings and the likes. Real professional friendly staff.
The staff at Evolution were amazing, from jewelry selection to the actual piercing, everyone was friendly, kind, and helpful. Syndesi did an excellent job on the three piercings (septum, helix, and daith) I had decided on doing today. He explained everything as he was going and eased any anxiety I had about the process. I didt get the name of the woman who assisted me with jewelry, but she was very helpful with deciding on what style to get and showing me how things would sit on me.All in all, I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to get good quality jewelry, and immaculate service.
Wonderful experience! I would definitely go back!
Awesome customer service. Clean. Observing protocols for sanitization before and after. Self was superb.....Hope I got his name right 😆😆😆. Would definitely revisit
I loved this place! I went here to go get my ears pierced and they where so nice! I really recommend this.
I’ve had three piercings here to date and they were all fantastic. Everyone in the shop is courteous and knowledgeable. Allen does an amazing job. My septum that he did was my easiest piercing to date and also my favorite. There’s a great selection of high-quality jewelry and they don’t sell or use anything that isn’t biocompatible. The shop is extremely clean and clinical in the piercing rooms. There are several private areas where piercings are done that’s separate from the front of the shop, which is very cool and aesthetic. The little rooms that piercings are done in feel like a doctor’s office, complete with exam table and sharps containers.If you have questions related to a piercing, the best thing you can do is ask. I had a minor infection in one of my ear piercings due to going for a swim and not cleaning it as well as I should have after. I called and after taking the advice I was given, the infection cleared up within a few days. If I hadn’t called, or the people who helped me hadn’t been as knowledge as they are, the infection easily could have gotten worse and caused me to lose the piercing. Thankfully, everyone here knows what they’re doing and have given me great new piercings and helped save some older ones that had been done poorly.
I just had the most amazing appointment!!!Thank you Allan Penfold for the professional and comfortable environment...your intelligent conversation was phenomenal. I 💘 my septum piercing! Thank you young lady manning the wheel up front with the orange hair....you are truly a customer experience professional and maintained a cool composure in a busy environment. My apologies for not retaining your name but you are appreciated. Everyone look no further for your body mod artists...book your appointment with them now! Clean....experienced..professional and following COVID protocols!
Always the best experience! Syndesi really took the time to line up the piercing perfectly
Was recommended here by ascension body modifications due too ascension not having the exact size of bar that my ears needed, all of the staff over at evolution were very professional as well as welcoming, the piercer just switched my jewelery for my industrial piercings because the original bars were too short like it was nothing, i was still waiting to feel pain when he said he was done, now i have better sized jewelery that is also better material than what i got at factory edge, also worth mentioning that saline solution was cheaper here than at factory edge, i had a very pleasant experience overall & i would recommend these guys too others without a second thought
I decided to schedule my 12 yo daughter’s ear piercing at Evolution Piercing. I am very pleasedthat I did. Bethany was very attentive to my daughter and her concerns. She made her feel very secure. It is clear from their processes that they hold safety and cleanliness their utmost priority. My daughter had a fantastic experience at Evolution. Thank you!!
Great selection of jewelry. All the staff and piercers are amazing!
Every one there was totally awesome great place n people
Wife got a belly button piercing here couple weeks back. She was very satisfied with the cleanliness and professionalism of the fella that did the work. He also gave her detailed instructions on caring for it. We will be going back soon for her nose piercing.
Have been a loyal customer here for 20 years! Multiple piercings, outstanding quality jewelry, incredible staff - props particularly to Shawn (yea, its been that long) & Noah for exceptional service and manner that has never left me even considering going anywhere else for my needs. 13.7 out of 5-stars! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Mr. Noah Babcock is always professional, kind and such a great piercing experience. Highly recommend!
The employees at Evolution are so kind and extremely knowledgeable! Thank you for everything!
Always the best experience at Evolution! Counter staff is kind, patient, and helpful, and Scott is a knowledgeable, personable, and efficient piercer. Scheduling online is quick and easy and Evolution takes Covid precautions seriously without being overbearing. I honestly cannot recommend Evolution Piercing highly enough!
Scott was absolutely incredible with the piercing and the front desk help was exceptional. I highly recommend anyone coming here. Got my first facial piercing today and it was a great experience, highly qualified individuals with great bedside manner.
So glad I went to Evolution for my double septum piercing. Syndesi is super nice and just made the experience a pleasant one for getting stabbed in the nose twice hahaha
Great safety precautions! Our piercer Noah was so professional and knowledgeable. He explained everything so well and detailed and made the experience so comfortable! Highly recommended and would return.
I brought my 10-year-old in to get his ears pierced for his birthday. The whole staff was so great with him and treated him with such respect and care. He had a great experience and is thrilled with his new piercing.
This was my very first time at this location and I must say all the employees were really sweet and informative. Everything was very clean and organized. My piercer was Allen and he was really awesome. I was getting my very first ear lobe piercings. He was very nice and he explained everything to me. I definitely do recommend coming here. Thank you for making it a smooth and easy experience!!! :-)
I went here for a nose piercing ($90) and was pleasantly surprised at how kind they were. I reccomend Babcock. They do a great job at screening, and the staff is very nice aswell. 10/10
The most professional studio I have ever been in.
Ive been coming to Evolution for years. I have 10 total piercings on my body and Noah did 8 of them. The man is gifted as hell, and honestly? Hes one of the most professional and knowledgeable people Ive ever met, and not just in his field, about a ton of stuff.His bedside manner is great, hes calm, courteous, kind, and I wouldnt have gotten some of the more... Intimate piercings I have if it hadnt been for him, he took excellent are of me and explained all my aftercare for 4 of my not-immediately-visible piercings.We did our research, we went based on recommendations, and Ill keep coming back. I carry some of Noahs cards on me to give out to people who ask about my piercings and my jewelry! I love wearing his line and I tell people about it constantly!Thank you Noah, and thank you Evolution!
Evolution is the best! Everyone who works there is kind and considerate. They will help make recommendations on which pieces will look best in which piercing and make the process as painless as possible.
Just got my nose done, amazing job and they were super nice. I recommend to anyone who wants to get a piercing, will definitely be going back!!
I’m not a big piercing person by far, but I’ve been recommended by several people, friends and otherwise, to go to Evolution to get pierced. I went in on April 5 with my girlfriend because she was wanting to get her eyebrow pierced, and I was wanting to get my daith pierced. Scott was amazing. Evolution was amazing. Super clean, friendly, and welcoming. Scott did an amazing job at keeping me calm, and when the time came to pierce me, he kept me so calm that I didn’t even flinch when the needle went through. There’s a few more piercings I want, and I’ll be going back to Evolution for each of them ❤️
Syndesi did an amazing job with my septum piercing. He was very kind, he helped me find the perfect jewelry, he is very knowledgeable and helped me understand my aftercare, as well as helping me feel calm and comfortable during my piercing. Both the front desk area and piercing rooms were super clean. Overall it was a great, friendly environment. I would definitely recommend to everyone!
I got a nose piercing here and had a great experience. They had covid guidelines in place and made sure they were followed and the shop itself was very clean. Allan Penfold did my piercing and he was very friendly and professional. I am so pleased with it. I definitely recommend them.
Very good professional place and staff but its expensive.
Super professional, Sterile, And friendly environment. I always have an amazing experence and love my piercings. Thank you so much!
Super clean and professional. They even showed me the sterilization strip for my jewlery. 3 weeks later and I still love my nose piercing!! Highly recommend. Piercers are very skilled and have an extensive knowledge of anatomy - expect to recieve feedback on your placement choice. Best to go in with an open mind and trust your piercers judgement!
Felt like family! Like we were seeing each other for the 1st time in a long time!!! Me and my sister in law went for a few piercings and were treated so amazingly! They are appointment only due to covid restrictions which is no hassle at all! They take their time to make sure you like the jewelry and where your piercing will be going! The piercers are very professional! The placement of my piercing wasnt 100% where we wanted it and the artist fixed it without blinking an eye! Very professional! They also have some sassy koi in the lobby lol Everybody there, and the fish, all have amazing personalities and are so easy to get along with! They have amazing custom jewelry as well! Also, they offer discounts for multiple piercings! So If you go, make it worth the while, grab a few lol and most importantly: DONT FORGET TO TIP YOUR ARTIST! They go above and beyond here and are worth every penny! Will be going back for lots more, and bringing friends!
The entire team is extremely knowledgeable and professional. My overall experience was stellar, I wish I could give more stars. I was referred to Evolution and Noah with glowing reviews and he some how managed to surpass all expectations. Im in love with my septum piercing and Ill be back soon. Ps. Covid safe practices are on point.
