Had an incredible piercing experience from the moment I walked in. The front store person was extremely helpful with assisting me on choosing between gorgeous, quality earrings, that I will be keeping for a very long time. My piercer was extremely knowledgeable, moved quick during my piercing, and helped me feel at ease. On top of that the place was spotless and they took the time to clean and sterilize all my new jewelry. I will definitely be coming back for more holes!

I went here to get my ears pierced, and couldnt have had a better experience! Their appointment system worked flawlessly, plenty of parking is available nearby, and the staff were very kind and professional. Would 100% go back for more!

I had an amazing experience getting my piercing here. Everyone was so genuinely nice, professional, and knowledgeable. The jewelry selection is also really modern and high quality. I was expecting to have an ugly stud until my piercing healed, but turns out they have a huge selection of really cute studs with flat backs that are great for healing. Ill definitely be going back and suggesting to all my friends.

Great place! I would recommend to anyone. Very friendly and knowledgeable. They walk you through the entire process including after care. The initial piercing hurt for about 10 minutes. Before I left the shop no pain at all.

I’ve been to a few piercing places and this one is my favorite, even though it’s also the priciest. The staff was super friendly and you can easily tell their jewelry is higher quality (hence the expensive price).It is by appointment only but I called, in need of a rook replacement because mine had fallen off (which happened twice from another place). They said they didn’t mind taking walk-ins as long as you are willing to wait which ended up just a 20 min wait.They also have a wide selection of various styles, most likely you’ll find something you like.Located in downtown so parking is a little challenging but there is a parking lot that belongs to an asian supermarket just a few stores down.

Tried to book appointment many times and got canceled on.. Then went in person and was talk to very rudely and very Inconsiderate with the struggle I was hanging with booking a appointment and trying to buy jewelry.. Young lady basically Waved me off with her hand saying she down have time to help nor cares.. Very inconsiderate for struggle I was having and being handicap.. Worst experience ever after the state being fully opened ..

I love the nose jewelry. Its the first place I found nose jewelry that has a back that snaps on to prevent losing the gem stones. There is wide selection of beautiful stones available. Prices are very reasonable.

Make Me Holey is a great piercing shop. Everyone is super nice and friendly. They are doing a great job with covid protocols and I feel completely safe. Only one customer is allowed in the shop at a time and it is by appts only. Karissa is the best! She explain each step and is very patient. Definitely recommended! 😊

I came in for a navel piercing and my piercer, Karissa, made me feel very comfortable. She didn’t do anything without asking or telling me and is obviously well educated in her profession! She walked me through the correct type of naval piercing for my anatomy and what she was going to do. If you have social anxiety like me, this place will make you feel at home. :)

Fantastic place to get new jewelry or a new piercing! They were very, above and beyond, helpful when I needed new jewelry.

Ive gotten 6 piercings over the past few years at MMH. The staff has always been absolutely amazing and its been pretty cool to see the studio grow. Most recently I went in to buy new jewelry and, by chance, was able to downsize some of the posts! I didnt even realize I never got them downsized. Im so freaking grateful for their service-- I wore earbuds with my tragus for the first time since 2017 without noticing the piercing!!!! 50/10. I will always recommend MMH

Ordered some jewelry from Karissa as a lot of companies are having back order times galore and they had a few to spare in stock.Karissa was incredibly professional and quick to answer any questions I had!I can only imagine how this all translates to clients outside of industry professionals and other reviews are evident that this studio will go above and beyond for clients and other piercers.Thanks again!

I had an incredibly positive experience at Make Me Holey, and I have been recommending them to everyone. I went in for a septum piercing with Shana, and she was completely professional, explained the whole process to me while she was prepping, made sure I felt comfortable through the appointment -- she could tell that I was getting stressed, and she gave me her plush Narwhal to hold while she performed the piercing (which was exactly what I needed!), and everything went smoothly.The shop is very clean, their receptionist was knowledgeable and very helpful in answering my questions, the jewelry is beautiful (a little on the pricier end, but it is all high quality and aligns with the shops high standards of care), and I really appreciated that the piercing stations were private. Also, you can very easily book your appointment online, which was great.All in all, I would highly recommend the services at Make Me Holey, they are absolutely worth it!

Totally change my mind it’s very unfriendly for my children, it’s very difficult make a appointment, and only have evening time. So preschool already close, the man it’s very mean, it’s told me no children inside, I try to told he, preschool already close it’s difficult to make appointment here so I only can do it bring her here, and he still say no child!!! And told me I can cancel my appointment ~ if i need bring my children........WOW!!!!!

This place is worth every penny. They are super nice, helpful and relaxed. They explain everything and you leave knowing everything you need to take care of your piercings. I was talked through the whole experience and made very comfortable. I like its all women. Will be going back for more.

Dont go to this place they spoiled my daughters ear and we are going to do cosmetics surgery.😟

Shop was wonderful and staff could not have been friendlier. I have other face and ear piercings but this was my first body piercing. They made me feel at ease and confident in their services. They may be slightly more than other shops nearby but the service and expertise from these ladies is totally worth it! I will be back for more!

Came here just to buy new jewelry - I have not been pierced here.Very clean and relaxing shop. The guy who helped me was really nice and great with helping me find the jewelry I wanted. Once I found the right one I went back to the chair and had their piercer place it. She was super nice and friendly - quick and cleanWould definitely return for more jewelry and a piercing!

Just got my septum pierced today. The process went super well and really didn’t hurt much at all. Everyone at the shop is super nice and gives off a relaxed and friendly but professional vibe. They are very clean and answered all my questions. Shana was my piercer and she is awesome! It was a bit pricier than some places, but so worth the cost. They have a gorgeous selection of jewelry, and it’s high quality. Thank you to everyone at the shop!! I definitely hope to come back for a daith piercing in 2020.

THE friendliest ladies, gave me great guidance in designing two new piercings, and the jewelry is gorgeousssss

The people here were very helpful and kind. Of course this place will be more expensive than some place at the mall but its worth it in my opinion because the people here are very informative and professional. Its run by females so it feels not as intimidating in my opinion.

A wonderful piercing experience! Karissa and Ashley make you feel like part of their family almost immediately. Your piercing experience is not only clean and comfortable but the education is just as important to keeping your piercing healthy. DONT TOUCH IT. Loved every minute of my time there. Karissa doesnt rush anything and you walk out feeling valued as a customer and as a person. Loved it all.

This place is so cute! I had an issue with a nose piercing and they were very accommodating. Got me in on a short notice because of the urgency and replaced the old jewelry (that wasnt from their store) with a new piece that I picked out. Btw, LOVED their collection! And my piercing has been fine since then. I have extremely sensitive skin that acts up at the slightest mention of bad metals. Everything healed immediately after my visit. Looking forward to going there for my next piercing!

Got piercings here a couple years ago and have taken a couple friends there for theirs. Everyone is very professional and helpful. Couldnt recommend them more because they definitely know what theyre doing.

I received earrings as a present, so I figured it was time to get ear piercings. I did some research on it, and found that going to the mall to get pierced might not be a sterile/safe choice. I decided that I should leave it to an expert and found this place on Yelp!I admit that I was a little worried because Ive always thought these places would be dark and metal, but this place is actually really comfortable to me! Theres interesting art all over the walls. Karissa (she has the cool dreadlocks) and the lady at the front desk are really friendly. Its not like what you see in movies at all (lol sorry for being ignorant)I went in thinking that my ear piercings from over a decade had closed, but Karissa checked and they hadnt completely closed. She decided not to charge me for re-opening the holes.She had a beautiful collection of earrings on the wall. Theyre all very affordable, and most importantly, they are nickel-free! One of my gripes with jewelry have been that theyre pretty but theyre cheap because theyve mixed a ton of impure metals. Not at this place!Ill definitely come back to this place to shorten the back of the earring (once the swelling is over) and check out their other earring styles :)

LOOOOVE this place! The while team of staff are so friendly and welcoming, making every piercing and jewelry replacement informed and comfortable. Had to get a piercing reopened after I left it out for too long and they made it as painless as they possibly could.Super cute variety of jewelry with something for everyone!

Super nice and helpful staff!! Theyve put up with my rocky healing process on my cartilage; for that alone they deserve 5 stars 😂 Super chill atmosphere. Their piercing prices are totally reasonable; their jewelry is a tad expensive but thats just because its all high quality. I recommend them to anyone looking to get pierced in San Jose!

I’ve gotten multiple piercings here years ago and I love them. Recommend this place because of great service, clean, and really pretty environment. Staff makes you feel comfy

I highly recommend this place!! Super all around: friendly staff, clean and pretty facility, and the jewelry is high grade. Anji did my piercings and I really trusted her a lot! She was very patient and calming throughout the entire experience, and the front desk was very clear on after care instructions. Go here if you’re thinking about it! Thank you Holey!!

I got both of my lobes pierced. I couldnt ask for a better piercing experience! Karissa was very gentle and explained everything she was doing as she did it. The jewelry selection is superb, and the process was great! The entire shop is bright and well-decorated.Remember to bring your ID! Its really important.

I cannot say enough good things about this magical little shop!! Full of gorgeous art, jewelry, & people! I have purchased two septum rings here: rainforest topaz and white gold deliciousness. The entire two people who man the shop are brother and sister and spend lots of time doing continuing education on gems & piercing alike😍 Make sure to make an appointment because structure makes the world go round! 💙

Highly professional and very patient in piercing my 5yo daughters ears. Took time to explain every step to my daughter and get her approval. Not cheap, but good quality jewelry with secure, flat backs. Would highly recommend.

First time visiting this place. Left very happy definitely coming back for more piercing. Loved that all the ladys there make you feel welcomed. You leave this place well informed.

I was a little nervous about getting pierced but I went in and everyone was so so sweet!!!! Super professional and clean, the atmosphere is cozy yet modern, my nose piercing was wonderfully placed and healed quickly after I followed the care instructions, definitely going back for any jewelry (because they have a lot of cute stuff) or any piercings id like done in the future. I really really recommend this place!!! My boyfriend got his eyebrow done there and a good friend got her ears and nose done there too, I dont ever write or make reviews but they are so sweet there I couldnt help it :)

I got my ears pierced here earlier this year. They charge for the gem which I think was close to $50-$80 per ear, and then like another $25 for piercing your ear. I ended up spending close to $260 for two ear piercings. Crazy expensive. She did not give me any aftercare instructions. All she said was dont touch it at all. You dont need to do anything else. I even told her Im quite sensitive and if there was some kind of spray or solution she would recommend. She said no again. Its been 6-7 months now and my ear continues to get infected and has not healed at all. Everyone I have asked told me I should be using some solution to clean my earrings. They say to rotate it so that I can clean it properly and keep it from getting too stuck. My earring got so infected I had trouble getting it out. I paid for overpriced earrings and I ended up throwing them out. What a waste of $260.

Friendly and knowledgeable. They treated my wife with TLC. Nice range of jewelry. Ample parking nearby.

Ive gotten 3 ear piercings here - everyone has been super nice, they have a great selection of earring, and my piercings turned out great!

It has been a month and a few weeks now since I got my nipple pierced with Karissa and I have absolutely zero complaints. Not only was she the perfect mixture of professional, yet warm, but she did an absolutely amazing job. Everything was as clean and sterile as one could dream of, and she really made sure she got the piercing in straight, and as painless as possible. It has healed perfectly, just by following her instructions to a T. I would recommend her to all of my friends and intend to come to her if I ever want to get any more holey.If you are reading this Karissa-- thank you so much!

I had such a good experience here. Everyone there is very nice and welcoming. Anji did my piercings and made me feel very safe and well taken care of. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy and laid back. Everything felt extremely clean and professional but also had a hippy vibe which I really dug. Definitely will be going back and highly, HIGHLY recommend going there

I love the place. Staff are professional and friendly. Tools and jewelry are sterilized. They are also control the healing process and and help insert new jewelry bought from them.

Went here with my sister last week for some piercings and had a stellar experience. Piercing artist Shana was on time, knowledgeable, professional, and personable.Great experience!

Great shop..excellent work, beautiful and versatile jewelry selection and skilled piercers but a little pricey.

They are so knowledgeable and kind! Karissa is an EXCELLENT piercer and overall great to be around. I love her energy! I will definitely be back for more piercings and jewelry!

Karissa is awesome and such a knowledgeable piercer. The jewelry they carry here is gorgeous and the service is excellent.

Was visiting San Jose in January and had an issue with one of my plugs. Stopped in and they were so helpful in resolving my issue! I hope I can stop in next year. :)

Karissa has the best bedside manner of any piercer Ive ever visited. The selection is great, but she helped me customize a piece when I was looking for something unique! She makes the whole process so painless and fun and I just keep coming back!

Karissa was great. She informed me on everything she was about to do before she actually did it and told me everything I needed to know for the after care for my 3 ear piercings. I actually fainted after she did the first piercing but she remained calm and patient and let me take my time to recover and made sure I was completely comfortable before she continued.

I definitely recommend going here to get your pirceing done. Both ladys are great and know what they are doing. The customer service is amazing! Ive been there twice to get my nose done.

Wonderful little place. Clean and friendly. Appointments recommended but they will take walk-ins if you are willing to wait.

The shop is beautifully decorated with jewelry and art work. I found this place because I was looking to get some holes in my ears repierced. Its a woman owned shop and she makes the whole appointment very easy and relaxed. I was done in less than 20mins. Its in a good location in downtown sj, with easy parking options. I will be going back for all future piercings.

The lady is extremely nice and made me feel comfortable. I went in to buy a nose ring. She was very helpful with the jewelry I could choose and helped me put it in. She said I could come back if I wanted to switch my nose ring back to a nose stud.

Great experience! Went for a conch piercing and then a downsize appointment. Good vibes all around!

GREAT service. very nice staff and super friendly piercer! everything was extremely clean And sterile!

The piercer was AWESOME. So nice & explained everything. The receptionist was rude and bossy.

I received both of my daith piercings here a couple of years ago and have been so happy with them ever since! I chose the heart shaped jewelry which can be notoriously tricky in cleaning and staying in the right position but when the heart once became painfully stuck in the newly formed hole, I dropped by and Karissa was more than happy to help reposition the piece and clean the area with no additional cost! She offers wonderful service and I will be going again ASAP!

Clean, friendly, knowledgeable. Create a great experience.

So great, they took me last minute right before closing to replace the back of my earring that Id lost. Definitely going to have to come back again with an actual appointment =]

Quick, efficient, professional and extremely friendly. They have a really good selection of piercing jewelry as well

Great spot, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Easy process

Came here for the first time a couple weeks ago! Karissa was very friendly and patient since I asked a million questions. I love my new nose ring that she placed for me!

Karissa was amazing! She walked me through every step she took and explained everything so there were no surprises. As painless as possible!

Super cute spot. Staff very professional.

Super knowledgeable & friendly staff!

Professional beauty! She did my tragus a couple years ago and was the most painless piercing I got. She knows her business ♡

Awesome service, super friendly, super easy to use website, very comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a shop that’s not intimidating in any way, I will definitely go back for any future needs!

Good hearts very nice job i 💘 love your works👊👊👏👏👏

People that work here are amazing nice and verry helpful. My girlfriend got her ear pierced here 1 year ago she got a little expensive but high quality jewelry and it was healing verry nicely. About a month ago she made a mistake and it got hit and started acting up she went back in via appointment and was told everyrhing she needed to know to make it heal up agian for free. It started acting up a little later and she went back in and they gave her a free piercing change and cleaning. All she had to pay for the the new jewelry.

So clean! So nice! The jewelry is so pretty!

This was the 2nd time Ive gotten my nipples pierced (1st time was at an out of town shop), and the great professional service and how accurate and nice my piercer was here made me realize what a janky job I had done before. I would definitely refer this place to anyone and Id definitely come back here for future piercings.

Refused to pierce my belly button because i “wasn’t the right shape”i then went to a different piercer who told me that the piercer at “make me holey” was just inexperienced. Got my piercing from the different place and it turned out and healed perfectly!

The best experience I could have imagined getting piercings my first time. The professional and friendly experience had me coming back for more on my nose and Ive never had any regrets !

Karissa is truly amazing and my nose piercing is perfectly positioned.

Good at piercing ! They give you a lot of feedback on what to do and what not to do with your piercing.

Clean, professional and all around badass. Jewelry and service are exceptional!

Great atmosphere, sincere customer service, I would highly recommend:)

I had a great experience at this studio. Very professional, friendly and clean!

Love this place & will be back!

Staff is super friendly, everything was clean and the space was bright.

Love this place, staff is very friendly.

Wonderful service and a beautiful selection.

Best piercers in the Bay.

How much do we have to pay for Nose Piercing? Any idea!

How old do you have to be do get a belly piercing?

Great service and products

Nice place
