Salt and pepper did a great job with my daughters industrial piercing! Explained the process and after care thoroughly. Highly recommended!!

Went in to get my daughters second piercings and he was very good with her. He even corrected her first piercings because they werent level. Thanks to Salt & Pepper for the patience and kindness with us.

Salt & Pepper was a funny, great guy to do my nose piercing. He made you feel comfortable, and gave you all the info you needed to get a successful piercing. I would go back.

I had a great time getting my helix double pierced yesterday! They also did really awesome job piercing my girlfriends nipps! The staff is really nice and down to earth, and hilarious! The place is really clean and neat! All around professional establishment, and they know their stuff! Thank you Steel Rod 10/10 recommend!!

I got my nose pierced yesterday by salt& pepper and it was an amazing experience. He made me feel confident and comfortable. Simple instructions and overall great customer service I’ll def be back!!!

First off I just want to say that I will 100% be coming back to Steel Rod in the future for my tattoo & or piercing needs. I came here to get a septum piercing, but was told I couldn’t get it because the area was too small & I appreciated the honesty because some people would have just taken my money and went on with it. I ended up getting just a regular nose piercing from Jimmy & he was very professional and he kept it real with me about my other nose piercings and what I should and should not do when it comes to them. I had never walked into Steel Rod before, but just off of this 1 encounter alone I will be coming back. I have gotten all my piercings from the same place before this one and had never gotten the advice and tips that I got from Jimmy about taking care of them (which I should have been getting all along). I appreciate Jimmy & Steel Rod for not just being about the money, but for actually caring about their clients.

I just wanted to shout out my artist for being the sickest! Skylar Bauerle gave me my ink and it’s one of my favorite tattoos! If you’re ever visiting this steel rod I would highly recommend him! some of the best ink I’ve gotten!

The guy who did my cartilage was fantastic, and the price/value was great. He made is as painless as possible. He even let me know that a previous piercing was mis-done (oops!). If I ever decide to get another ear piercing, Ill definitely be coming back. Could not recommend more!!

I absolutely love Steel Rod Tattoo. Ive had three of my piercings done here so far, and I have nothing but raving reviews for each time. The most recent time I got my nipples pierced (70$) and my girlfriend got two Helix piercings (40$ each). I was very nervous at first but my worries faded the second I stepped into the shop. It was a quick, fun, and great experience. Cant wait to head back in for my next!

The tattoo artist was very professional, nice, and patient . The overall vibe of the place was super welcoming and they take walk ins and make you feel very comfortable when you are getting a tattoo or piercing, I got both done here and both turned out very nice. The tattoo artist also makes sure you have the design and placement you want!!

Great place had an awesome tattoo done here, before getting my tattoo i went to like 7 other places and Steel Rod was the cheapest for the same prompt. Will likely be going again!

Rich always does excellent work. On time, flexible. Most importantly, we works with you to make sure the tattoo is going to be what you want.

Had a lot of fun getting my helix pierced at Steel Rod Tattoo! Staff was well trained, funny and understanding. Would recommend for your next piercing!

I have been coming here for years and won’t go anywhere else!!! I had 4 of my piercings done in the last couple of months by Jimmy and he is freaking awesome!!! I’m going back to get another piercing done and yes, Jimmy will be doing it. Absolutely love this shop. I’ve had a tattoo done here as well by Richie and he did an amazing job. So I HIGHLY recommend this place for piercings and tattoos!!!!

Jimmy the piercer was the real deal. Very good at what he does! He’s knowledgeable and very quick which was great for me. He kept us laughing and made me want to go back!

My girlfriend went here on Friday the 13th for a nose piercing special and had a terrible experience. First the jewelry was loose in a drawer and then placed on a paper towel and sprayed with something; not sterile. My girlfriend was also apprehensive about the placement and the guy Salt and Pepper just ended up piercing it anyway in a place she wasnt happy with, at a weird angle. Third, the price listed in the ad was $25 but she ended up with a $31 total plus a tip.Now almost 3 weeks later, after taking care of the piercing diligently, shes had a different piercing shop recommend she take it out as its swolen and infected.We expected better since this place seems to be highly rated, but our experience was awful.

Professional and accommodating. Love my nose piercing!

We had a super positive first time ear piercing experience! Jimmy was so great with my 5 year old ❤️ 10/10 recommend!

Quick and easy appointment for my two friends and I to get our noses pierced multiple times. The piercer was very friendly and helped educate me on my previous nose ring. Would definitely recommend!

Best ink of my life. My nose piercing was painless but they out shine in ink. Holler at Dave for your favorite characters and Eric for your animals

Salt and pepper fuckedddd me upppp

Salt n pepper did my nose piercing amazing man wonderful customer service and he was so nice and I will be back

Great prices, great piercing work. Horrible parking tho

SP is the BEST!!He did my left nostril and totally killed it!!!Made me comfortable like we were family!I went back the 2nd day to get my septum done and Eric was just as bomb as SP!!I would recommend to ANYONE

Fun experience! Great, quick, well informed and made you feel comfortable. I don’t remember his name but he was a tall gentleman with a great personality!

Great place! Super friendly and very professional! They did an amazing job!

GREAT SERVICE FUNNY GUY FAST WE WAS IN AND OUT I WILL BE BACK

Super knowledgeable about piercings!! fun environment and a great place to go for a quick and easy nose piercing. got two piercings and my friends also got some. would definitely recommend this place to anyone :)

I live 6 min away went to get my nipples pierced I gave them a call asked questions and they gave me answers which was helpful! I read the good reviews so I gave the place a try for the first time ! I got pierced the same day !! Which was really nice, the guy was really nice and knew what he was doing .I would go back to them !😌

All I can say is that DAVE the tatto artist is one bad m…kr… with that tatto gun and ink… if u want a good quality tatto go see him… u won’t diss appointed….

Jimmy pierced my conch and rook, and did a phenomenal job! Even though I bled all over the place, he made me feel okay about the whole experience! Very great place to get piercings, and a super fun environment!

I got my noise pierced by saltpepper and he made me feel so comfortable I will be back cause the whole place was friendly...thanks

Went to get my navel pierced by Jimmy with my sister yesterday!!! He was super amazing!!! I loved his personality and his energy he gave off !!!!!! The staff was amazing, so friendly, prices were great and they were extremely professional !!!! I definitely recommend ! I probably won’t go to any other piercings shops after my experience at steel rods !!!! This tattoo/piercing shop definitely is the place to go for sure !!!!!

Looks great, I love it. Quick and easy service too

Jimmy was quick and crazy acting but he got the job done. I love it. Thanks

Really helpful and educated staff. The piercer was knowledgeable and patient. Would recommend to anyone wanting a quick, easy piercing!

I walked in for an impulse piercing 7 minutes before they closed & they were so willing to take me! Everyone there will tell you straight up how much a piercing or tattoo will hurt & honesty is the best. Not painless because of where I got my piercing but super quick so the pain didn’t last long. Will definitely be back for impulse piercings!

Very friendly and very helpful! He helped me figure out what was wrong with my helix piercing, explained how to care for it, and helped me change out the jewelry for a better fit. He really cares about his craft. 10/10 would come again!

Jimmy put pierced my helix in 3 places and my tragus all in a days work. He was very thorough, quick, and clean. He even used a pair of calipers to make sure my helix piercings were equally spaced apart which I thought was neat. Definitely knew what he was doing and really cares about his work.

Piercer was awesome!!! Made me and my BFF laugh and super comfortable with the whole process!!! Highly recommend!!!!

I HAVE BEEN HERE A FEW TIMES, AND EVERY TIME MY EXPERIENCE IS AWESOME, JIMMY WAS SUPER GENTEL, AND REALLY KNEW HIS CRAFT, 5 STARS ALL AROUND JIMMY!!

I had a great experience at steel rod tattoos. Brian pierced my nose and he was great! i was so nervous and he made it very comfortable and quick, it wasn’t bad at all.

If I could rate this this place 10 stars I would. I called for an appointment and the staff were able to get me in same day. The prices are phenomenal. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. This wasn’t my first piercing but It was my first at this shop and they definitely made my septum piercing as painless as can be. AND great after care instructions. Definitely coming back to this place for all my future piercings.

I highly recommend this place for piercing & tattoos great work !

I love it. I went to get my noses pierced & he was easy n gentle.

I highly recommend this place for all your ink needs and piercings very clean and very professional I wont go anywhere else check them out you wont be disappointed.

The piercer was nice and funny, got it done quickly.

I got my belly and Medusa Piercing done here and they both healed beautifully ❤️ Thanks

Omg! Stopped in just to see if they would take a walk-in. They were ALL so friendly! I was able to get my piercing with no wait. Quick and easy! The tattoo work is splendid! If you need any piercings or tattoos done call them up!

I tried this place out for their Halloween flash and loved it so much I went back for the Friday the 13th flash. Dave Berry has earned my business. I am looking forward to getting more work done here!

I love this place, my trip there was based on the reviews. I’ll go back and I’ll suggest my family to visit it too. The guys were really nice and professional

I just got my tatas pierced and he was amazinnngggg! Jimmy is hilarious and good at what he does! Very proficient 💕

I had my very first tattoo done here and i absolutely love it. Good people who made you feel comfortable. My artist was Richie and I highly recommend him! Thanks again Steel Rod Tattoo!

Awesome experience Jimmy did my husband and I nose piercing super affordable and super quick

Jimmy did an awesome job piercing 2 adults and 1 minor! He was great at making our 9 year old feel comfortable and not so nervous about getting her ears pierced. He got all of us in and out in less than an hour and was very professional and calming.

Ive been going here to get all my piercings done. I just went to get my nose pierced and Jimmy is the guy. He was very informative of everything. He also kept me laughing before to get my nerves down. Great experience

Wrong business. Sorry. Trying to delete but not working

The staff there was SUPER nice. We made an appointment & had no wait to get our piercings. Affordable and really good quality! Highly recommend!

Jimmy pierced my nose and he did a GREAT job! He kept me talking and the pain was minimal!!!! 10 out 10 would recommend!!!!

I went in for two small tattoos and left very pleased with both. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Went with a friend to get piercings. There was one guy working and some girls waiting to get tattoos I believe (it was a Sunday). He was nice and quickly got us signed in (paperwork). We waiting maybe 5 min and he took us back. Took him 10 min to do all 3 piercings (I got 2). Will definitely be going back for more! Thanks Eric!

Piercing guy keeps you entertained while piercing! I got my piercing there a year ago and took my there as well... we love it!

Called in at 8:03PM (they closed at 9) and asked if they had time to do a nose piercing. A guy answered “Absolutely. Come on in.” Super friendly from the start. Got there about ten minutes later and Richie got me started on paperwork and he got things set up. He was friendly, efficient and gave his opinion in a professional manner (great advice too). Great placement, quick piercing with minimal pain and didn’t even bleed! Great pricing too. While I was there I asked about a tattoo and he was stoked about my idea and gave some advice. I definitely will be back for my tattoo.

They where funny, nice, very professinal, and my piercing turnd out beautiful. I will surely come back if I want a new one

I got my second hole and it didn’t take long. They’re nice people and it’s a clean place. Most definitely worth it.

These guys are awesome.. definitely happy with my piece and will be returning soon for more.. popped in Wednesday for a quote and they are about half the price of other shops. Nice guys great work. Dave did my tattoo. If you are looking for water color he is definitely the guy.

This is my go to shop. I drive an hour from Anderson to Indy to see David Berry. Hes done 3 tattoos on me so far! Hes a very talented artist and flexible to get an appointment with..

Havent been there but I called. Spoke to the guy who does septum piercings and he seemed confused and didnt explain well about the piercing. He told me to used daily soap which I was told by many not to and to use piercing saline or sea salt water. He said it wasnt recommended. Dial soap from what I thought dries it out and causes irritation. He was also stuttering upon my questions like he didnt know what he was talking about. I didnt feel safe and assure of getting it done or comfortable enough.

Walked in one day to look at some flash and saw some Harry Potter flash that was really cool since both my wife and my sister love Harry Potter. I got the golden snitch on my family theme arm done by Dave and my wife got the sorting hat. We both love the end result. I got a second one done by Dave and just love it. I really love the work he does and had him draw a custom piece that ive been wanting and the final design he showed my was beyond my vision and cant wait to get the session booked to get it on. Definitely recommend steel rod

I got my septum pierced a couple months ago an loved it Eric did a great job and the healing process was great just followed the after care instructions

Just got my nipples pierced today!!!! They made me comfortable and they all have great personalities to make u want to keep coming back!!!!! Love my piercing

We went in as a party of 6. 4 sister tattoos, one jr tattoo one scorpio tattoo and 2 nose rings. Wonderful experience. Excellent customer service.

Ty big guy/ Master Quick awesome job I was scared to death and he kept me smiling and very quick. Great Sticking😊

Wonderful place atmosphere and did a great job on me services

I went in today to get a tattoo done by David after seeing him post it on Facebook. And boy was I not disappointed. Not only does it look amazing, but he is by far one of the best artists Ive ever seen. First of all, I got exactly what I thought I was going to get. Secondly, everyone in the shop was super professional. And lastly, most of the time, I forgot I was even getting a tattoo in the first place. David had a very soft hand.I will for sure be a repeat customer.

Jimmy was so gentle and funny.

I went to get my nose pierced for the first time. They were quick, clean, and really laid back! Ill be back for a tattoo hopefully ☺️

Good environment

No complaints. All of the men who work there were very nice. I was seen right away and it was fast and easy for my nose piercing. I will return.Updated: I returned today to their new location and was just as amazingly pleased as the first time. These guys are top notch for friendliness and service. Jimmy helped me today. Will return again again. Glad I found this place.

First time at new location but been a long time custom. Got my 👃 and belly pierced today by Jim. He was wonderful 🤗!

Get place cool people

I came here a week ago for my watercolor skull tattoo. I love it and the tattoo artist, Dave, was very nice. I will come back here again. This time with my sister to get matching tattoos

The piercing guy is freaking awesome definitely the best

Clean, everyone was really nice & supportive through the process

Jimmy and Dave are the best in Indy period!!!!

I love it here. Im not going to anyone else for tattoos or piercing. They are friendly and laid back.

Went in to take wives earrings out (inside of ear) and he had to perform minor surgery lol. He was patient and only charged a small fee

Went there directly off work and was able to get in quickly. My piercer (Totally forgot his name) was awesome! I definitely would recommend Steel Rod to everyone who wants a piercing!

I got my belly button pierced by one of the staff members during the summer and it was amazing. I ended up having to take it out and a few months later had my friend try to repierce it. She did it very wrong and my piercing was noticeably crooked. I went back to steel rod and they were able to repierce me again with no problems. It was quick and done to perfection. Also their set up is very cool and clean. Will definitely be returning.

I got my nipples pierced here a few days ago, and while thats an innately terrifying experience, these guys made me feel 100% more comfortable. The inside was very clean and had a cool retro vibe. Will definitely be returning for and future piercings and possibly for tattoos.

After doing a lot of research, my wife and I came here to get matching tattoos. We gave some ideas to Dave and he helped put together an awesome design. He was professional, kind, and did an amazing job. We love our tattoos and would recommend this place (and Dave) to anyone!

Rich killing the game in there. Clean, and efficient. Going back for more work (tattoo, piercing) Highly recommended 👍👍👍👍

Nice clean lines good humble people

Took my twin daughters to get their noses pierced for their birthday. Jimmy kept them entertained to keep them distracted from being nervous and made it as quick and painless as possible.

Steel Rod Tattoo is a wonderful gem of a tattoo shop tucked neatly away on the side of Lafayette Road...unpretentious...user friendly and spotlessly clean...Big burly Biggins with his infectious smile and hardy laugh usually commands the reception area as Master of Ceremonies cheerfully imparting advice and knowledge while he guides the customers to their “appropriate” doors...Alex Rodriquez MY personal tattoo guru with his fabulous undercut dreaded dark locks and black horned rimmed glasses is truly a master craftsman waving his magic wand to create wonderful ORIGINAL designs with his extraordinary living ink...I would not even consider traveling any further than Steel Rod Tattoo! Thank you so much Alex for yet another spectacular piece!

I really like this place. I have gotten several piercings here with no problems. The staff are nice. Yesterday I was there with my kids and they were also welcome. I also checked them out at the local health department and they hadnt had any violations.

Got my very first piercing done Saturday and it was an amazing experience. They were clean. Sanitized stations before and after and used all new material and equipment. I was scared but the guy comfort me the whole time and it was fast, before I could blink,jump,or anything I was done. I’ll definitely be back for my second piercing

Good work and fast

Just got an industrial piercing here today. Staff was very friendly on the phone and in person. They made the process of my piercing very convenient. Also the environment is really fun, and everything is very sanitary

I got an ear piercing and it was the best experience I’ve had thus far. Timmie was the one who did it all and he is amazing and makes you feel very comfortable. Very great place!
