Unsafe and overpriced

by LLinee

I had always felt this store was a rip off, you want a great piece of fine navel jewelry buy a reasonably priced earing and have it converted to a navel ring at NY Adorned ( buy the post and have two pieces of threading attached on the ends ) - or just by directly from them and save yourself a fortune by Avoiding Venus. Maria Tash and Co will literally tell you anything you want to hear to make a sale. Her icon navel piece shown in this pic was not designed by her or anyone there ...its a fairly common earing that shes reproduced and marketed as her own. As far as my in-shop experience, my friend went to get a piece installed ( bought elsewhere thankfully) I was appalled watching this go down, she was handled repeatedly without gloves her jewelry was tossed into a cold soak and then a USED unpackaged clamp was used to tighten it. Save your money and health and walk the few blocks to NY adorned.

Cons: dirty tools, non sterile jewlery, WAY over priced un-jewlery

Great place for piercing and jewelry

by royalbella

I have been to Maria Tash 3 time. The first two were for the 2nd and 3rd hole in my ears. The last time was for my belly button/naval piercing. My piercing tech was Chris and not only did he do a great job he conducted himself very professionaly. The after care instructions were very clear and I was also told I could come back at any time to get my piercings checked. I have not had any problems with them so far.

Pros: Clean facility, friendly people, know what they are doing
Cons: None

The only place to get pierced

by Tomatoejam

I've become a frequent flier at the SoHo location. I've had 5 piercings done, from ear piercings, to a navel piercing to a dermal anchor. Over the years, I've returned to have my piercings fixed, changed out, or just to have questions answered. The staff was always knowledgeable, patient, and professional, no matter how old the piercing was. The process was always sterile, even if they're just fixing something (and not just when piercing). The selection of jewelry is vast and any piece in the store would make for a classy addition.
