I went for a consultation and the artist said he’d call me back to either squeeze me in or schedule an appointment and he didn’t. It’s been a whole week and I haven’t heard anything. I waited more than an hour to even meet with any artist available there. It’s a shop full of young people who don’t have any regard for professionalism. They told me they would follow up with me and didn’t. All I expected was for them to keep their word and for Professionalism and they couldn’t even do that.

I did my research on all piercing places and this one caught my attention by far because of all the good reviews I read and the experiences. When I got there everything went by smooth and everyone was very welcoming and nice. Kelvin did my navel piercing and he was professional and clean. I recommend you guys to visit Kapital if you want your piercing professionally done and the service was good as well. Just make sure you make your appointments!

I came here because I had a really swollen piercing from a previous piercer. I found Kapital and they had amazing reviews. Kelvin and his wife were so nice and understanding. They are very informed and know exactly what they’re doing, They helped me with my issue and took my piercing out. I will definitely come back for any future piercings.

First time in any type of piercing/tattoo shop. Very professional and welcoming! Would recommend to anyone in the area (plus the prices were great!)

WOW!!! Brought my 3 daughters (12, 9 & 6) to have their ears pierced and could not have had a better experience! Place was spotlessly clean, the entire process was completely sanitary and extreme care was taken with getting the best results possible, all while kapital went out of his way to put the girls at ease. Outstanding!!!

I got my nose pierced yesterday and it was an amazing experience they were so nice kelvin did my piercing and Giselle was so helpful they both explained the process and any questions we had and it was just overall amazing their so nice so kind and I would definitely go back if I ever got another piercing or anything I strongly recommend this place it’s was awesome.

The process was very quick and they were extremely supportive throughout the entire process. The piercings was very quick and easy and made it where it barely felt like anything was happening (ear piercing).

I had such a great experience with Kelvin! He is super professional and has such a great personality! He made my sister and I feel very comfortable and had great vibes! The shop is very clean and he is very detailed. My sister got a rook and tragus piercing and I got my nose pierced. I will definitely be coming back for some more work!

During this time with Covid I was hesitant to pierce. I did my research and I made an appointment. it was a nice stress free experience. I went to replace my jewelry today and i have to express how safe i felt. The place is clean, but most important they were safe (wearing their masks and changing of gloves). Also if you have any questions or concerns they are addressed. Love Love the place and staff. Kelvin thank you for making this experience amazing for me. See you soon.

The place was a little hard for me to find being that Im not from the neighborhood, but if you have trouble just know its directly under a barbershop!The experience I had was commendable. Kapital and his wife were professional, very organized, respectful, and cordial! It was super easy using the website to book an appointment which was important to me because I didnt want to just go anywhere and deal with a bunch of people while trying to get my ears pierced.Kapital definitely exudes experience! He asked me if I wanted to have my ears pierced where I had had them before and I was surprised he could tell because I hadnt worn piercings in well over 10 years! On top of that he said all he had to do was reopen the holes, and since there wasnt much piercing to do he charged me 20 instead of the 30 for what the piercing was supposed to cost.That was a level of honesty that was frankly surprising and refreshing! He could have kept that from me and I would have been none the wiser. I definitely plan on going back for other things in the future and Id highly recommend to my friends and family as well!Keep up the great work you two! It was like you reunited me with two old friends!

Early October Birthday treats for my daughter and I. She got her belly pierced by Kelvin and Jerry added to one of my tattoos. My sister also got an ear piercing by Kelvin. The salon was cozy, intimate and clean. Giselle was warm and welcoming. Kelvin was attentive and caring with my daughter’s and my sister’s piercing throughout the entire process 🤎. Jerry was also attentive and patient with my tattoo addition. We had a great time, laughs and great energy! We would definitely recommend and return for future services!

I tried to call and get a second piercings on my ears, but was having a hard time finding the store location (between 175/176 on Audubon). I called the number on google and informed the owner that I was trying to find his location. He told me that he only took appointments then proceeded to ask if I was in nyc or Miami, to which I obviously respond NYC to and he says “oh sorry, I’m in Miami” and then just hangs the phone up on me. I guess no piercing for me 😂 smh

I got my first tattoo here!! the entire staff was so friendly and super patient with my fears about getting a tattoo. Highly recommend you stop by and check it out !

Very friendly and welcoming. Clean and easy and I LOVE the fact that they used a needle over a ear gun. Don’t hesitate too book. 😌

I came here 2 months ago to get my cartilage piercing. Kelvin was very nice and made me feel comfortable because I get nervous for piercings! Everything about my appointment went great, my helix piercing is healing beautifully. Place is super clean, everything used is brand new and sterilized! I will keep going back here and referring people as well. Thank you!!!

I got my nose pierced here approx 6 to 7 months ago. They were very friendly and welcoming. I think this is a new location (when I went in they were still setting up some stuff). I might pop in for a tattoo consultation!

I got 10 piercings done on my ears today. He was so careful with everything he did. I appreciate his passion for his work. He treated my ears as if they were canvases for his art. He sterilized my ears, which I’ve never seen any piercer do before (they normally just used alcohol.) he positioned every dot on my ear carefully. He made sure I liked everything before starting. He kept asking me how I was doing as he pierced my ears. He was very clean. He was also very kind, conversation with him came easy. He made sure to inform me about after care. Gave me his contact information Incase I had questions. Very informative.Location was a bit hard to find because its downstairs from a barber shop but google maps shows the right place. There is a sign right by the side of the barbershop entrance.The environment was homey. Felt like I was at a friends place. I also noticed he sold his own merchandise, which was pretty dope.I would honestly recommend anyone who’s getting a piercing to go see him.I will definitely be going back for future piercings.Update:It’s been a little over a year and my piercings look great. Haven’t had any problems with them and if I did I know I could I haven went to Kelvin with questions.I added heat after photos of my piercings. Honestly want more lol

Great customer service and amazing atmosphere!! I cant wait to go back and get tattooed again real soon!

The piercer was so kind and helpful. I had my ear pierced elsewhere and it got infected. I called the shop about two hours before closing and after telling him what happened, he saw me in 30 mins. I will definitely go there to get pierced next time. Thank you so much!

A great experience and team they make you feel welcome and very comfortable. What I love the most is that they took the time to listen what I wanted and gave me exactly what I wanted. Special Thank you to Jerry 😊

They were great. My daughter and I went to get piercings. They were nice, had a good energy, great music, clean and professional. Definitely will be back for other piercings. Thank you!

Dope customer service def recommend >> ✨

Highly recommended!!!! I loveeeee it ! they’re so professional and polite . It’s a beautiful place and got good music too 🤣 I’ll come back soon

I was 1/3 customers on Tuesday night. My piercing plan was shifted and Kelvin found a suitable location for my piercing. It hurt like hell but he was clean, careful and patient with my undecided mind. Thanks again!!!!

Kelvin is just awesome. He really cares about his costumers. I went in to get my belly pierced and I was very scared. Kelvin made me feel reassured that I would be okay. To make a long story short he definitely took care of me and very fast. His friendly demeanor makes him very approachable. He was very clear and concise on things that I had to do to take care of my piercing. If I become brave enough again I would definitely get another piercing with him. Definitely recommendable!

Called the same day was able to fix a problem my girlfriend had with a nipple piercing great advice and professional work done. Highly recommend

Best piercing shop I have been to. The staff was so amazing and welcoming when I arrived. It’s a comfortable environment and they are great people to talk to if you are nervous. They distracted me made me smile and feel comfortable while getting my piercing. I would definitely recommend this shop!

They were very considerate and calm. No judgment; the best piercing experience I’ve ever had. Safe, sanitary and they were so kind. He was precise and caring. Overall, it was a great experience, and I will definitely go again. The piercing wasn’t swelling nor was it red. He really cares for the customers and their well-being.

Kelvin is not only great at his craft but his an awesome human being. Amazing energy and great vibes. I’d absolutely recommend him and his business all in need of a tattoo or piercing. Whether your in the area of coming from another part of the city it’s definitely worth the trip!

Kapital is amazing at what he does, Ill recommend any one who wants a piercing to go and get it done by him, he was very patient & super professional with me, I got done the tongue surface piercing. I love it😜

Went in to get 2 daith piercings and my experience was not like the last piercing shop I went to. The other shop the piercer seemed like I was being a bother from the minute I walked in and rushed, but when I came here I felt welcomed. The piercer was knowledgeable, helpful, and made sure I was doing ok and was comfortable throughout the visit. Not to mention he also had gentle hands so I didnt feel too much. If I think about getting other piercings Im definitely coming back without hesitation.

I got my first piercing here. He was top notch professional. Id recommend him to anyone.

I first went to get a piercing which healed greatly and they were all so professional and friendly I knew I’d be back . Just got a tattoo today with Gerardo he did a great job with my tatt !!! I love it , and he was not only professional but I saw him clean and prep everything right in front of me as well as open new needle and clean tools as well . The manager Giselle is just wonderful she’s so pleasant , professional these people all have great energy and professionalism they also try to be flexible with appts . worth every Penny I highly recommend !!! You pay for quality not to upkeep a boujie shop.trust me Go there for your tatts and piercings I genuinely give them 5 stars

Silk hands! Kapital was really professional and courteous! Would def recommend it :)

Legit one of the best piercing experiences I’ve ever had! Kelvin is an amazing piercer and really takes his time and shows he cares about the client and the piercing!!! I got the bridge of my nose pierced he made sure the piercing was perfect placement and straight. The environment is love and good vibes. Love this shop/kelvin and his wife, definitely going back for any other piercings I want in the future.

One of the best Piercings and Tattoos shop i have ever been too in Uptown. The owner Kapital treated me with respect and got the tattoo i wanted on point. If you are looking to get a piercing or any kind of tattoo. I would recommend to look no futher and go see Kapital. Thank you for everything!

I got my nose pierced in August and my nose has been healing beautifully ever since. I went back to change my piercing and got the same experience. He is great and super professional with his work ! Thank you !

I took my daughter for a nose piercing and everything worked out great. We called ahead so he knew expect us. Kelvin made my daughter feel comfortable, he was very professional and sanitary. He even apologized for making her eyes water. The prices are very competitive. My daughter is extremely happy with her piercing. We didnt know what to expect and left very happy.

I had an Amazinggggg Experience ! Kelvin was an abundance of Great Energy! He was also Very Professional! I didn’t have an appointment . I just walked in . And was worked on in a timely manner . I felt at ease from the moment I walked into the establishment . I got my navel and nose pierced. Kelvin took his time to ensure my piercings were properly aligned and fitting to me . I was beyond flattered by his work! Very Charismatic he made sure to keep all his clients (including myself ) engaged in various conversations! The Shop was very clean . He used New Tools that we’re sterilized . Kelvin is definitely very passionate about his work . And it showed. Not once did he give me any reason to doubt his abilities. I will definitely be returning !

Wonderful experience the owner is super dope and the energy there is Amazing 🙂 love the vibe

Called to ask if he was available for a walk-in before showing up in case he was busy or not at the shop. Kapital and girlfriend were comforting and accommodating asking if I was okay throughout the whole process. Went in for my daith piercing and I love it! Cant wait to go back for more piercings

QUA-LI-TY ! whatever services you need, will be done right, the first time. Someone who values his craft, and also happens to value people. His professionalism allows for him to take his time with each client to execute down right perfection. Sets an ambience that allows you to feel comfortable no matter your request. Over a decade of experience under his belt and it shows! thank you SO much!

Just got 2 nose piercings and I am obsessed!!!!Loved the place and how they made me feel so comfortable!!! Kapital takes his time and is so good at what he do, it was so smooth and barely felt anything in fact I’m coming back for another piercing in 2 weeks definitely check out this place you’ll be happy !!!

We had a great experience with Kapital! My friend and I wanted to get nose piercings, and he did a great job. Kapital was thorough in explaining what to expect, incredibly careful in his work, and we felt so welcomed. Dont let the location fool you, this place is clean, well kept, and sterile. And competitive pricing! Ill be going back to get my piercing switched out in a few months, and will refer everyone I know up here to come see them. Thank you Kapital!

Great Atmosphere, professionalism and services.

This is a great place to go. Took little to no time to change my nose piercing into a ring from a stud, and he was very gentle and attentive. Absolutely will be going here again!!! The 5 star ratings did not steer me wrong!

Kelvin is an expert at what he does. He really lives up to the reviews! Due to his character and knowledge I felt completely comfortable at his shop. I got my nipples and nose pierced. It’s been a week and they are healing beautifully. He also went out of his way to help stretch my belly piercing (I hadn’t put jewelry in for about 5 months). I appreciate your work kelvin! Thank you and thank you for the personal advice :)

Amazing work. Wanted both earlobes pierced for the first time and he delivered with ease. As soon as you walk in he makes you feel welcomed and ask questions to make each customer relaxed. Our conversations during the process really eased my anxiety. He’s very careful and let’s you know what he is doing step by step so you’re more involved with the process of your piercings. Will definitely recommend and visit again in the future

I brought my six year old daughter to Kapital to get her ears pierced and Kelvin was so good with her and did a great job making sure they were even and that she was calm. If I ever decide to get more piercings for myself this is the place I will go! Highly recommend - thanks again Kelvin!

Kapital was so kind! I was in a time crunch and he stopped what he was doing to pierce my nose. He explained the process very thoroughly. He was very professional, very sanitary. He even put on my favorite music to calm my nerves! You cant tell me hes not the perfect person for the job. Everything about the experience was enjoyable. And Im in love with my piercing! Definitely going back! It was worth the trip! 😀💖

I went here on 3/31/18 to get my nipples pierced. Kelvin could tell how nervous I was and talked me through the whole process. I brought a friend to help calm my nerves and all three of us had a conversation while he was piercing me. One thing I noticed was that he took his time to make sure the piercings were correctly aligned and straight. Took him an extra 5 minutes just to do that but I appreciated it in the end. He was very clean. He also gave me a lot of confidence that my body is beautiful the way it is, and that’s the first step when it comes to body modification. After he was done, he spoke to me about how to clean it. Overall, 10/10 for the experience and the piercings. They definitely hurt. But not as badly as you’d think. I say the pain level was 6/10, and I’m someone who can’t tolerate pain all that well. They were worth it for me. And I’m going back to do my tattoo.

I got my belly pierced and was a little nervous but he had such a great vibe and environment which was really calming. Highly recommended!!!!

Just pierced my septum and honesty Kelvin did a great job. He took his time and was very professional. His wife was there and she was very pleaseant and inviting. She helped me to relax. Both are great. Will recommend Kapital Piercing to any one. You wont be disappointed

I went in off a limb and I have to say wow! Really great people, helpful, respectful, positive vibe, amazing prices, and pro piercing. All around couldnt have asked for a better experience and Ive had lots of piercings done at top notch places. Will definitely be going back

Amazing!!!! hes so chill and made me super calm while i was freaking out. the process was quick smoothe and easy, hurt much less than i thought. loved it! 5 stars!!

Kelvin was professional and had a very calming demeanor. The area was clean and he made us feel very comfortable. I would def go back and Ive already recommended Kapital piercing to a few of my friends. My septum piercing looks and feels great!

If I could give Kapital the whole galaxy I would! He deserves all of the stars! Hes super friendly and does amazing work! You wont be disappointed.

I got ears pierced for the very first time today. Right away you can tell that this is a professional environment. Everything was clean and organized. Kelvin was great at walking me through the process and calming my nerves. Highly recommend this shop to everyone👍👍👍

Just got my first piercing and I have to say this was the best place to come to. The staff was friendly and professional and I did not have to wait to be seeing even though I was a walk in. I love it (got my nipples done).

Awesome environment, clean and organized. l Loved their merchandise to the point that I bought 2 hats 🧢 quite the experience. Thank you for the excellent service!

To be honest this is the most unprofessional guy I’ve met. Weeks ago I called and I said I will pass by for a piercing. I showed up at 9pm and the whole shop was closed even though it says 12am. I called home multiple times but he did now answer. The following week I called and let him know again. I show up at 8pm and the shop was open but one of the barbers told me that he left long ago and told me he never stays this long. I was so disappointed cause why say on here you close at 12 am and let people call u knowing that your a lazy person that can’t stay that long. I ended up going to a piercing store a few blocks down and they pierced my nose more than perfect. In conclusion, laziest person I’ve met would let a person like this touch my body.

Best Experience Ever! Clean, Safe & Great Enviornment. He’s Very Talented, thank you for making me feel more beautiful

Got my nose pierced twice the incorrect way and finally came to this place and he did such a great job. Made me and my husband feel really comfortable and was very patient with me. And the piercing is healing fine thank you. Definitely recommend him

Great customer service!!! Would definitely recommend and will go back for future piercings. Kapital loves and takes pride in his work, you can tell by the level of service he gives. He is very hygienic and gives you the best remedy to keeping piercing clean and not get infected.

Kelvin is the absolute best at what he does. His professionalism stands him apart from all his competitors. His attention to detail and his concentration when he is about to perform a tattoo and piercings is amazing!!! Thanks For My Nose Piercing. 😘

I went to this shop with my two other friends and had an amazing experience. Kapital and his partner were super supportive and made sure everything was clearly explained. Also, everything was sterilized. I hope their business grows really large. Thanks for the piercing!!

Kelvin aka Kapitalhas impeccable customer service, his prices are fair and he also makes sure you leave Kapitalpiercings with the correct knowledge forPiercings / Tattoos.He provides; jewelry, after-care treatments, and clothing which is call A Mark Of Beauty!.Kapital has a Very clean space & organized, he’s friendly and professional. You would definitely have a wonderful experience!Thank you! & I appreciate you.

It’s an experience!Very nice and cozy studio. He is super attentive and listens to you and what you want, you can make adjustments before actually getting pierced.Everything is clean and sanitized. Great service and deep conversations!Definitely coming back in the future.

The only reason I made another account is to reply to what you said. You are obviously confused on who this is and I’m probably not the first person to deal with this since you are confused on who it is. Read what I said carefully I told you this was a few weeks ago. A few weeks ago I CALLED and made a appointment that we agreed to. when I showed up you wasn’t there. And the second time the same thing happened and you wasn’t there and a barber told me you always leave early. I bother to research more of this sad business and found u on social media and noticed how unhumble you are. You are right I don’t know you to be calling you lazy but I do know that if your words was as good as your skills you would have a huge business. It’s funny cause reading through your reviews I see a woman dealt with almost the same thing. Speak with your work kid. You are a one man band but that don’t mean other people have to be effected by that. Simply just change your time on google or call your customers and let them know before hand you have things to do. Hard work pays off my friend NOT HARD WORDS. 😘

I got my first noise piercing and tattoo here on the same day! Im very glad that chose to go here out of all the places in NYC. Kelvin is an awesome guy who is very humble and knows what hes doing. I was pretty nervous since Ive never gotten a tattoo done before, I felt very comfortable here. Im definitely coming back for my next piercing and tattoo. Ill be recommending his business to everyone that I know. Thanks again.

I got my first piercing here. He was top notch professional. Id recommend him to anyone. His tattoo work looks great too. Ill be keeping him in mind for that down the road too.

Great little hidden jem in the Heights. I was itching for a few new piercings so I turned to google. This place had great reviews so I checed it out. Walk through the barbershop, down the stairs, then open the door. It is closed off from the barbershop so it is clean and also air conditioned. Nice atmosphere when you walk in. They are very friendly and professional, while keeping it fun. He took his time laying out all of the sterilized equipment he was going to need. Also took the time to make sure everything lined up perfectly. 10/10 Ill def go back for any other future piercings

It was an amazingly comfortable and safe experience. The environment is just as great as the service. They are patient and loving with their work. Would def get another piercing here !!!!

Kelvin was a knight in shining armor! I came in with two infected forward helixes and a conch piercing that was never fully pierced! He was so kind and professional and took excellent care of my ear. My piercings are currently in the healing process. I am so thankful and only wish I couldve found him sooner

Love this place! I would truly recommend it to anyone! It is a very clean area and the customer service is wonderful. Bottom line he knows what hes doing!

I live on the upper East side of NYC on 83rd street and rarely if ever go to Washington heights. But Im so glad I did. This is a great business and Kelvin is amazing and talented. Me amd my daughter got our ears pierced. They were kind professional and sanitary. They did am amazing job and our ears look great. I am so happy I found this gem!. Also my best friend got a tatto here and the work was phonominal. Tjeshop is inside a barber shop

Kelvin pierced my daughters nose and I must say he was awesome. Very professional and he made sure she was comfortable. He took his time and made sure her piercing was in the right spot. Thank You!

I had my nose pierced and within 2 days the pain was gone. Dont get deceive about the size of the shop. He does a really good job and affordable too.

The gentlemen who does the piercings is very patient, nice and friendly! He made my cousin and I feel very comfortable. I would see definitely recommend for any piercings!

Came here few weeks ago to get a anti tragus piercing all I have to say is exceptional.From the sweet welcoming to the great healing .I was so scared to get the piercing but it was painless and he was very helpful.If you need a piercing or tattoo definitely this is a must go place.

Great clean place. Great piercer with very hygienic techniques. Very reasonable prices.

Check this kid out right here. He is trailblazing. A true washington heights native with a passion for customer service and art.

I went here based on the google reviews and im glad i did. He was very friendly and professional. Had a great experience and its been a few weeks and my piercing is healing nicely.

Good price.good vibes.check it out for yourself.the best piercing shop in the heights...they took care of my.piercings even when it sink into my nose...now.im happy ass hell

Thank you so much! My earring was inside my ear and he got it out! 😭😭

My man Kap is one of the best in the biz very professional and I trust him doing my very 1st tat today!!!

Came to the shop, had to wade through piles of cut hair on the floor only to find that the attendant was out and shop was closed during its listed work hours. Tried calling three times and it went to voicemail. Im all about supporting community businesses but this may not be one Id like to support. If youre traveling from far, and dont have an appointment- save yourself the trip and go somewhere else for a walk in.

I have to say i was impressed very kind people and also very clean and organized, i never felt so comfortable piercing my body like i did, amazing people and great vibes inside the little space. thank you for your service.

Got a tattoo randomly with a good friend and honestly I had 5 tattoos and i have always experienced the pain of getting one. Today i get my 6th tattoo and the tattoo artist was so gently with the needles that I honestly at one point didnt think he was tattooing and when he told me he was done I was very surprised. He was a total gentleman. Would definitely go again if I am in the area
