Scheduled an appointment for my 14 year old to get her lobes pierced. I really appreciate that DaVo didnt talk down to her but was very thorough in explaining everything. The process was painless for her and shes healing nicely. No redness or swelling like shes had previously. We had great conversation and great music to listen to. Made for an enjoyable visit. Definitely will be back.

Quick, clean, precise. 100 % professional. Only place I will ever go. Amazing experience.

Davos personality is super dry and he literally absorbs everything the customer says before regurgitating a sandpaper response. While his bedside manner isnt everything, his ability and knowledge is: hes efficient, quick, and knows his piercing locations....I would have liked to have been able to have braced myself.... but it all happened so quickly.

Ill start with the positives because most of the experience was great. A few friends and I got pierced by DaVo and his apprentice. They clearly both knew what they were doing and were super thorough with explaining everything to us. They made sure we were comfortable with placement and showed us the sterile procedure to ensure everything was clean. When his apprentice accidentally missed part of the piercing process he walked her through the mistake and explained what to do differently next time which was great to see. Afterward they explained the cleaning process and he has some good videos on youtube for further explanation. Pricing was good too for what we got.We would have given them a five stars if he wasnt so demeaning/conceited upon walking into the store. We clearly were timid to even walk in and ask for the piercing, but he started by interrupting us and telling us how dumb the name of the Shen Men piercing was that we were requesting. He also proceeded to make fun of people that get the piercing for acupuncture effects-anxiety/migraines. He did make a great point that he is not an acupuncturist (and I assume thats what he was intending to mean with his initial comment) but I feel bad for anyone who would walk in for that piercing and hear that right before getting that piercing. His apprentice managed to lighten the mood a bit and that seemed to soften his attitude as well. By the end of the piercing session he was MUCH more pleasant to talk to and polite with us.Overall, DaVo and his apprentice did a great job on our piercings, I would just recommend working on the customer service side of approaching new clients much to seem less intimidating/egocentric. I would still highly recommend him.

Wonderful piercing studio. Davo is very knowledgeable and professional as is his trainee

I had an appointment with DaVo tonight for a industrial piercing and honestly it was the best experience Ive ever had. I felt comfortable, all my questions were answered and any concerns were address. Great atmosphere, very clean and the whole process was done quickly but effectively. Highly recommend Axiom Body Piercing!

Extremely knowledgeable. Great staff. Clean. and when the thought goes thru your head about the pricing being higher than others just remember you get what you pay for. Therefore if youre looking for cheap, mediocre work this is not the place for you.

Davo was good at his job but he should really watch his remarks. It’a very unprofessional to call Italians “white trash” as his customer is italian.

My husband and I were pierced this weekend by DaVo. We’ve been getting piercings in DSM for the past ten years - and I wish I had come to Axiom sooner. The knowledge, help, and kindness DaVo provided was next level. I felt comfortable, safe, and empowered with all the information needed to make my choice and also care for my piercing afterward. I would recommend everyone I know who is into body modification to make Axiom their studio of choice. DaVo also runs a YouTube channel that I’ve been able to access and consult afterward, which has been a great educational tool. Can’t speak highly enough. 10/10.

The ABSOLUTE BEST piercing studio in Des Moines Iowa! A+. Highly recommend. You will Not be disappointed in the Quality services.

Was pierced by DaVo this past weekend, he was absolutely incredible. I was extremely nervous and he does a wonderful job of talking you through it. I am so happy with my piercings, he will get all of my future business and recommendations. He was 100% professional and made me feel very comfortable. Very appreciated! Thank you!

This place is great. They are professional and friendly and everything is clean and sterile. They have a good vibe and they are all around awesome!

Super nice and chill ! Would definitely recommend for your first piercing. got done quick and explained everything thoroughly.

DaVo was very courteous. Professional experience. Thanks

I went in for a very personal piercing, I was nervous but excited.. David was so friendly and totally professional- sensed my anxiety and put me at ease right away. My piercings were done quickly with great care and attention to detail and they look fantastic! Could not be more pleased.

Westley is the 🐐. Great artist, awesome dude. The whole staff is very friendly as well. Overall great atmosphere.

Had my 3 daughters and myself in for nose piercings quick easy and very knowledgeable. Will return for future piercings.

Incredibly professional and friendly. David was able to answer all my questions. And made me feel very at ease about the entire process.

My partner and I have both gotten pierced by Davo. He is awesome and professional. The shop is super clean. Everyone is super nice. I highly recommend this place for piercings.

DaVo was awesome! I walked in, no appointment to get my nose pierced. Got in right away on a Saturday. He explained everything about the healing process, After care, and made me feel very comfortable. Very reasonable price.

Got my industrial piercing there. He was nice and very knowledgeable. He was very thorough with aftercare instructions. Ill definitely come back when Im back in town.

Educated piercer . Loved the fact he gave me all kinds of info on how to care for my piercing !

Super nice, down to earth guy, clean and stylin place, knows his stuff. Great experience, wont go any place else! You wont have a better experience anywhere, at least not in my opinion.

DaVo is amazing. If you want a hole in something, he is the guy for the job. He is extremely professional and friendly. Also, he is always listening to the best music.

Davo does so good always. Quick and easy and super good at explaining and answering all my questions. Will be back and reccomending them to others

Very disappointed with my industrial piercing I got here. At first I was hoping it was just swelling. But it was placed very badly. Not anywhere near the crease of my cartilage. Just a huge waste of money.

Super cool guy- if you want an experienced piercer, this is him!

Clean, professional and friendly.

Great work clean place

Had a fantastic piercer Dave.

Clean and good environment to get a peircing!
