AMAZING ON EVERY LEVEL!

by carolynea at Citysearch

FANTASTIC PLACE! I have had two piercings here in different years, on both occasions the piercings and the jewelery were simply amazing. I looked all over NY (I am picky). Nothing compares to the quality and craftsmanship and beauty of the jewelery here. It is simply gorgeous and really well made. The piercers are very professional and informative. The piercings were not a big deal as I was talked through them. Everything about this place is of the highest quality. On top of this the people who work here are very patient and helpful. (I went back several times before deciding.)This is an OUTSTANDING place. I love it!

Venus by Maria Tash is extraordinarily they have great service and well selection of jewelry to pick out for any kind of piercing, I went there today for the first time and you can mix n' match with different selection of jewelery and the quality is very well especially for being located in the area it is which is Noho on Broadway near Soho. I loved it though i was content with the jewelry i bought and reinserting my navel.

SUPERB!!!

Great service, friendly, patient, and informative staff, beautiful jewelry.

My birthday wish this year was to get my nose pierced. Venus by Maria Tash made that wish come true and the outcome was better than I could ever dream. First, when you walk into the studio everything is clean, when I went I was the only customer in the studio so I love all the attention I was getting from the staff. The jewelry collection is pricey but it's oh so worth it as the jewelry is simply breath-taking. Yes, all the needles and gloves are brand new and they prove to you that everything has been sterilized. (I even got to keep the pen that was used to mark the spot for my piercing)What really won me over was how kind, patient, and informative the staff was with me. This was my first real piercing w/ the exception of my ear (which was pierced when I was a baby). Chris was my piercer and he is SIMPLY AMAZING!! Two thumbs up!! He was calm, experienced, kind and reassured me through the whole procedure.

Overall, If I decide to get more piercing Venus by Maria Tash is the only place I'm going to!

Great service, skillful staff, clean place!

by nf1157 at Citysearch

A couple of weeks ago I went to Venus by Maria Tash Located in the East Village of NYC,to get my third ear lobe piercing. The sales person/owner was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answered all the questions I had about the procedure, jewelry & prices. The guy that was doing my piecing was very experienced, calm and professional. He explained to me all about the procedure step by step. The process of piercing was unexpectedly almost painless. It’s been two weeks, but the new piercing feels like the old one already, doesn’t hurt at all. The first two of my piercings were done at the different place by the gun. What a different experience!! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
