Went and got my earspierced, was super nervous but not only was the staff super nice and chill, but also very helpful with all my questions. My piercer made it a point to not o ly make sure my ears lined up to him but kept asking me how I felt and thought on how it looked. Definitely coming back more and some tatts!

I saw Candice and she was AMAZING! I went in to check if my EXTREMELY old septum piercing was still open (over 15 years later) or if I needed it re-pierced. Candice found my old hole immediately and it was still open! She stretched the hole and was even able to use my old jewelry saving me a bunch of money! Thank you so much Candice!

This was my best experience in a shop, by far! The staff is friendly and welcoming, they are well educated and passionate about what they do, and the shop is very well maintained. The jewelry collection is something Im excited to look through on my next visit, a wide variety. Maya did an awesome job on my septum piercing, gave great instruction on proper healing and symmetry, and I would/will send my friends and family to her. Overall, stellar. Thanks you guys!

Adam (@ghettoninjatattoo) is an amazing artist. His work is the best I have had done personally, and he is keen to attention to detail. He works with single-needle styles as well, which is a huge plus.10/10.

Review №18

I went in for a few pieces of body jewelry and I was really unsure about whether I actually wanted to buy a $25 septum ring that I didn’t even like and the salesman (as greatly helpful as he was) kind of forced me into buying it and now I’m stuck with an extremely uncomfortable septum ring that doesnt match my nostril piercings. Don’t let them talk you into a purchase you don’t want just because they’re nice! I understand that most shops don’t accept returns or exchanges and why they wouldn’t, so please just be sure you trust your gut and don’t waste your money! Other than that, I do adore the jewelry this shop offers and all the employees are really friendly. I feel bad leaving a negative review, I just wanted to warn others before they get themselves into this position also.

Took my daughter to get her ears pierced here, 8yrs old. Totally scared out of her witts when it came time for the uber looong needle to go through her body. The young woman doing the piercing completely talked her down and got laughter for the actual punctures! Top notch.

Review №21

Maya was sooo sweet and amazing. She was able to get earrings into four ear piercings that I thought had been closed for 10 years, plus a ring in my septum piercing I hadn’t worn in 8+ years. Absolutely recommend her and will definitely be back with Maya for any new piercings!

If I could rate the shop at a 20 I would. This was the best experience I have ever had. My bff and I went to Patrick and got both our nipples pierced. Patrick was freaking awesome. Very friendly knowledgeable about his job. Very patience and accommodate us very well. My name is Martiqua and I will be going back to Patrick. Make sure you tip Patrick well as he really deserves it. He is the Best. Also great communication. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ This shop.

I stopped in today for a quick finger tattoo by Harry Catsis. The shop was clean, beautifully decorated, and everyone was very polite and professional. It was very different from the shops back home (Virginia). Harry was very welcoming and quick, while still make the short session all about the art itself. It felt less like a tattoo session and more like seeing an old friend. My lines were perfectly straight and the whole process was clean. I’ll definitely go back for more!

I had a fantastic experience today with Lauren! She designed exactly what I wanted. She has a great bedside manner and made the process fun and easy. I love this tattoo, it may be my favorite so far!Edit: I’ve had multiple tattoos here now with Kate and Lauren and have appointments scheduled in the future. This is THE shop to go to!

Review №31

I had my septum and nipples pierced by Candace Clark. She was very professional, nice and talked through everything she was doing which made it comfortable and easy to get pierced by her. When piercing she is very quick while still being thorough and accurate. I’d say it took her less than five seconds to pierce and thread the jewelry. I will definitely be returning and recommending Bound by Design to friends and family. If you want to get pierced, Candace is your lady!!!

Review №32

My experience at BBD was absolutely wonderful! I got my septum pierced, and not having other piercings, I was a bit nervous. Maya (ig: @yourpiercingninja), my piercing artist, was super attentive during the entire process and her enthusiasm for her work was abundant. My piercing turned out so well, I couldnt be happier!!! The establishment was kept super clean and I felt really comfortable being there. 10/10 will return :) :)

Review №33

I had an excellent experience with Candace Clark however the red head women who rung me up was disorganized, dismissive, and attempting to multitask however she just kept getting flustered. Perhaps she needs more help answering phone calls and assisting customers in the lobby. However Candace was amazing!!!

Thu is extremely unprofessional. He needs to work on his social skills and should probably get his mental health checked. There is clearly something wrong with him and I hope that he gets it worked out so he can live up to his potential instead of wasting his time on this Earth.

I had gotten a bridge piercing by Maya and I am so happy with it! I’ve had several facial piercings before, and the pain is standard. However, Maya was so quick and gentle that I didn’t feel anything at all! She took into consideration my face shape and any facial imperfections to make sure the piercing placement suited my face well. I highly recommend Maya!

I had a wonderful experience with Tiffany at Bound By Design. I was self-conscious about my mismatched earlobe piercings and was looking for someone who would take on the case of re-piercing my earlobes. Since I didnt have a fully closed piercing yet, most places said they werent able to do anything - enter Tiffany Rose who was brave enough to take this difficult case! She was so caring and had me in for several consultations to help close my piercing and ensure that I wouldnt be in the same predicament in the future. The new piercing came out wonderfully and Im so thrilled to be able to wear earrings again.

Harry was awesome. He totally rolled with all my ideas and made them work so beautifully. That means the world bc it was a partial cover up! Hes probably the 6th tattoo artist Ive worked with (got my older ones one at a time) and I have to say that he made me feel really relaxed and Im so happy with the outcome.

Pushing a vaccination agenda on costumers is unethical, if you were truly concerned you would require vaccinations for all customers regardless of piercing location... And your pricing is outrageous. I wont be giving you my business.

Bound By Design is your best choice for any piercings or tattoos you’ll want. Patrick pierced my septum, and he was lovely, professional and quick. My large side tattoo was down by Jim, and he is so talented, friendly, and a master of his craft! The Covid precautions they’ve implemented made me feel like I had a very low risk for exposure. I highly recommend them!

I went to Bound by Design with my boyfriend and we each saw Candace. He got an earring and I got my septum re-opened/stretched. The shop was super clean and they were very cautious with COVID-19, which was definitely appreciated because I was nervous going into this at this time. It was a wonderful experience all around, and I would definitely recommend Candace and Bound by Design to anyone looking for piercings. Candace was gentle and explained everything that was happening during the process.

In the past 5 years Ive gotten 5 piercings and 1 tattoo here and every single time the staff and the artists have been so friendly, informative, and professional. I just got another piercing this week (October of 2020) and I was a little nervous to get pierced with covid-19, but they are following every rule and doing the absolute most to ensure the safety of their artists and their patrons. I highly recommend this place!

Review №72

I needed two studs for my nostrils, and the girl who greeted me was very rude. I had made an appointment and was a couple minutes early, but she was on the phone and didnt even say hi to me, and when she did, she acted like I was a nuisance. Maybe she was just having a bad day. But then I tried to tell her what I was looking for, and she proceeded to grab the ones I pointed out without saying anything. $43 later and she gives me the wrong piece of jewelry. I liked one of them, and I figured there was a no refund policy for jewelry, so I tried one on when I got home, just to find out she gave me the wrong size push pin for the pieces of jewelry she grabbed me. I didnt want to go back to ask for help because I figured it wouldnt get me anywhere. Definitely not coming back.

Made an appointment for an industrial piercing after seeing the positive reviews. The current process regarding getting in, signing paperwork, being pierced, etc. is being handled extremely well in the context of the pandemic. My hands were sanitized, everyone wore masks, and appropriate distances were kept whenever possible. Candace is a true pro piercer and offered some great tips for aftercare that I hadnt heard from other piercers before. Overall great experience and would highly recommend to anyone, even those who, fairly, have covid anxiety. Also remember to generously tip your artist! They make it super easy by taking cash or Venmo.

I had the most amazing experience for my first ever tattoo. Harry was welcoming, kind, and made sure I understood every step of the tattooing process. He was easy to work with during the consulting process and was highly receptive to feedback and edit requests. On the day of, he made sure I was happy with the tattoo at every step of the way, and was encouraging with reminding me that this is my tattoo, for me, and that it needs to be done the way I want it to look.I cant thank Harry enough for the amazing piece of art hes given me, and I cant wait to see what he does next. I highly recommend Harry to anyone in search of a tattoo artist who is kind, talented, and passionate about what he does.

This shop has received a major face-lift and a whole hell of a lot more talent than a decade prior. I had been tattooed here well over 10years ago and was not impressed. Following a new addition to the team, Thu, I was very impressed with the shops cleanliness. Great, great artist and human. Parking is a hit or miss due to the area, so show up early.

Review №76

I was really nervous about getting my double outer helix done. I’ve wanted it done for years but I’ve been scared of the pain. I was so impressed by Patrick, who did my piercings. He is an incredibly knowledgeable piercer and great at explaining both the process of the piercing and the after care. I was truly astounded by the lack of pain I experienced- even doing two piercings! He was so quick and gentle, it hurt far less than getting a shot. I am so happy with my piercings and highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking to have body jewelry put in. Bound by Design is a great studio- clean with friendly staff. Be ready for a wait if you’re doing a walk in, but I promise- it’s worth the wait!

10/10 love this place and would come back again and again. After having a nose piercing fall out and not being able to get one back in I called the original place I got my nose pierced (which is a reputable expensive place in Denver... dont want to name names) and they said they couldnt help me and that I should straighten out a staple and use that. I made an appointment with Patrick and he just stretched my hole out LOL and charged me for the jewelery and sent me on my way. Very clean. Very professional. Come here to get pierced, dont go anywhere else!

I went here to get the other side of my nostril pierced after unfortunately having my first one done at IRIS Studio in Capitol Hill. I was blown away by how kind, informative, and professional the staff at Bound By Design was! Tiffany was incredible! She went into great detail about piercing aftercare and made sure I was super comfortable before she did the piercing. It was a complete 180 from the last experience of getting a nose piercing. I didnt feel nervous or rushed. The price points here are very fair and the studio itself is beautiful. Super clean place! I will definitely be back for more piercings and to upgrade my jewelry! As someone who has gotten a ton of piercings done I can say this is one of the highest quality places Ive ever been!

Review №86

Absolutely recommend Bound By Design. This was my second stop for a quote on a tattoo (it shouldve been my first). The first shop I had gone to tried to scam me by quoting me a very high price on a small yet simple design I had been inquiring about. Had it not been for Lauren, I probably would have gone back there and would have ended up getting scammed. Lauren absolutely helped out by quoting me a very reasonable price and by scheduling me into her calendar. During the time leading up to our appointment she answered all of my questions via email, and she even worked on the design I had told her I wanted. Once our appointment finally came, she presented the design I had asked her to do, and it was absolutely perfect! During the process she conversed with us in a friendly manner. Lauren made the whole process smooth. The end result is absolutely beautiful. Thank you Lauren! I am definitely coming back. Also, shot out to the ladies at the front, they were friendly and never once rude.

Just visited on the 5th of December, went in for nipple piercings with their piercer Patrick. OMG i am in love with this shop! Very clean and professional. They are definitely taking precautions for the current covid crisis. Lots of jewelry to chose from. Multiple rooms for tats and such. Patrick is not only awesome eye candy but he explained everything with such detail without a doubt my fears were eased. I would highly recommend this place. Finding a GEM as this goes a long way. After care was explained thoroughly and their just a call away if anything. What a great experience. Looking forward to future piercings as bound by design will have my business!!!!

Had a wrist tattoo done today by Alissa K. She was very patient and creative while we were coming up with the final design. While it is brand new, I think it turned out amazing!😁I originally came here many years ago by some friends who recommended it because their tattoos and piercings turned out incredible. I got a piercing done here that a different shop said that they wouldnt do. That was also a pleasant experience. Its always very clean and a laid-back atmosphere. Ive only ever seen good results at bound by design.

There is a reason they have been around since the mid-90s! Bound By Design is a professional, clean, efficient tattoo and piercing shop. I stopped in a year ago to get my nose pierced and the service was unmatched. Candace was very professional and made sure the piercing was exactly what I wanted. I went in a few months ago to switch out the jewelry, which they do for free if you purchase it from them. I recommend this place to anyone in the market for piercings and tattoos.

Super clean. Brought my daughter to get her ears pierced. Tiffany was awesome! explained everything for her, a 9year old. Answered all her and my questions. Once she was finished explaining care of the piercings and placing the dots for her guides, the actual ear piercing was quick and efficient.Tip: remember the child’s birth certificate if they are underage. They can’t do anything without it.
