Brett was amazing! Very friendly and informative! I was 1/2 hour early and he went ahead and did it early. Couldnt be happier that I chose to go to ad Astra! Thank you guys so much!

I got my septum pierced today. Everyone in the shop was very nice and informative. The piercer (I cant remember his name), was great with talking and keeping everyone comfortable. Everything was sanitized and I had no worries. The piercing came out perfect!

I am an adult who got my earlobes pierced at Ad Astra almost two months ago. My experience with Brett was fantastic! Brett is extremely patient, kind, welcoming, and professional. You can tell he’s incredibly knowledgeable and a real expert at what he does. True artist! I felt like I was in great hands the entire time and the piercings came out great! I highly recommend Brett and Ad Astra for piercings, no matter your age!

The only shop in Lawrence I will get my piercings from.Brett is kind, conversational, caring, and an amazing piercer, quite possibly the best in town. I have gotten five piercings from him and keep coming back for more!I have not had a single bad experience with any of my piercings healing.The best of the best. Dont waste your time anywhere else if you care about quality!

Went in to get a couple of piercings today and had a great experience! 10/10 would recommend Brett. Everything was so clean and beautiful. The quality of work and jewelry is amazing.

I called in this morning and spoke with Brett about my daughter getting her cartilage pierced. He was super informative and told me everything I needed to bring in. He also squeezed us in for an appointment tonight. When we go there they helped my daughter pick out her jewelry and walked her through the steps and what she should expect. We will definitely be back to get more piercing! Thank you so much!!

Cleanest and friendliest place to get pierced! I was able to get right in and I wish I would’ve gotten his name, but the most knowledgeable artist around… and I’ve had plenty of piercing experiences…. Will be going back for sure!!! And the receptionist was a doll and sweetest gal to chat with! Keep it up guys!!!I got my septum pierced… long time wanting it and on a whim was able to get in, so I jumped on it❣️

Really friendly people. There was plenty of jewlery to choose from. The check-in was simple. No wait. Same with the piercings. Brett did a great job with answering questions. Very clean facility!

Everything about this place was so amazing. The people were friendly and helpful. Not to mention, the jewelry selection and piercer were amazing. I will recommend this place to everyone I know.

Me and my friend went to get some ear piercings and they were very helpful when choosing the jewelry. They also took time to explain the sterilizing which was appreciated, I had 2 done and my friend had 1, we were in and out within 30 minutes, all without rushing anything. The piercer was very enthusiastic and his energy was contagious! It really helps to relieve some anxiety and nervousness when your piercer is relaxed, professional, and happy to see you. The prices were reasonable for the quality of the jewelry and was way cheaper for the piercing itself than I expected it to be. I will for sure come here again if I ever get another piercing. The only trouble was finding parking but that is no fault of theirs, simply Lawrence on a Saturday.

I don’t usually write reviews, but for this place I totally had to! Brett was absolutely amazing!! He was friendly, personable, flexible, and extremely knowledgeable. Shop was clean and sanitized. I got my conch and triple lobes, and it was as painless as I never could’ve imagined. I got my helix at a different piercing shop and the major difference in pain and healing I’ve experienced in just 2 days is amazing. Best experience ever, I will never go anywhere else for another piercing again!

Super friendly and helpful. The staff is honest with recommendations and potential issues that might come up with piercings. Nice jewelry selection also.Ive gotten my last 4 piercings here and havent had a single issue. Highly recommend

Brett did an amazing job! He was very personable and made me getting my ears pierced less nerve wracking. It was quick and he talked me through the entire process. Really cool guy! The appointment was easy to set up and the shop is really clean. Additionally, they take all measures to ensure you are getting the highest quality piercing/jewelry. This was a great first piercing experience and I look forward to coming back for more in the future!

Went in to change a piercing and they gave me the wrong jewelry I asked for, plus the piercer didn’t even clean the area or earring before switching it out. The girl at the front was just unpleasant. I’ve been to better places and won’t be back, and I recommend you find a different one too.

Amazing experience! Super clean shop! He is amazing! Got my belly button done and I love it he made sure super straight and walked me through the whole thing! Both him and the lady that works there are super nice and friendly! 10/10 recommend!!

I got a septum piercing here and it was an excellent experience !! the guy was super nice and explained everything to me and didn’t rush me or anything. everything was sanitary and very clean. i would 10/10 recommend going here !!

Its been about a month since my piercings at Ad Astra. My piercings are healing up better than anything ive gotten in the past. I was very impressed with the cleanliness, expertise, and kindness of the team there. You can tell the owner really knows what he is doing! Great jewelry to choose from--a little pricy, but worth every cent. Highly recommend.

Best place and helpful people as far I experienced in Lawrence. I had a hard time to find my nose jewelry i went couple of places some didnt carry the jewelry and some had jewelry but such a bad customer service and so rude i just came back but really glad to find this holy place.Thank you again.

I went in for help with my nose ring and they were so friendly! They were knowledgeable and switched out my jewelry for me with no problems. Would definitely recommend based on the customer service!

First piercing and I was nervous. Brett and the pretty lady (I’m sorry I didn’t catch her name), were so kind and helpful. I can’t wait to go back to get more done. Thank you for being the best! 🖤

I got my nose pierced and they had me in and out. It was painless and staff was fantastic and super nice! The energy in the shop and from Brett made the experience less nerve-racking! I 100% recommend going here for your piercing needs! Thank you so much Brett I love my piercing! I’ll definitely be coming back for any future piercings!

Wonderful experience! Today was my first time with Ad Astra and they certainly did not disappoint. As soon as I got there, Brett was very friendly and engaged in small talk. He walked me through the whole process and made me feel a lot better about my piercing. He let me take a picture with him and overall made this a very low stress experience :•)). I definitely recommend Ad Astra!

Brett is a very experienced and awesome piercer, I’ve gotten all of my piercings done by him while living in Lawrence and he never fails to amaze me. Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a great piercing experience and an assortment of awesome jewelry options!! Brett made my double septum dream come true and he always makes me feel welcomed each time I go there!

I got my bridge and labret pierced here, he was very honest and took his time walking me through every part of the process. It was also very affordable and their standard for jewelry is implant grade titanium so you dont have to worry about allergies. PLEASE GO HERE IF YOU NEED A GOOD PIERCING IN LAWRENCE. You wont be dissapointed.

The person who helped me had a great attitude, but maybe too much so. They were very salesman like, which led me my bad experience. You see, I purposely went to a highly reviewed shop to change my new helix piercing. This was because I wasnt sure how to detect different gauge sizes, and wanted to make sure I got the same size so that my piercing wouldnt shrink or anything. However, I asked and made sure that they knew my concerns, and they confirmed it was the same size. However, I later found out from my original piercing shop (back in MN) that it was a 16G and this shop gave me a 18G. They were great otherwise, but this just left a bad taste in my mouth, especially because it was the whole reason I came here.

My sister and I went to Ad Astra to get our noses pierced. Brett Pfanenstiel was amazing. The whole process was quick and professional. 10/10- would absolutely recommend.

Brett is an amazing person with some serious talent! He is very knowledgeable and friendly so when you get a piercing done by him youre definitely in for a good experience. Minimal pain too! Will definitely be going back in the future!

I highly recommend Ad Astra! This was my first non-ear piercing and I was a little nervous, but Eric was very friendly and talked me through the whole process. The shop was clean and I felt extremely comfortable here. If I ever decide to get another piercing, Ill be back here.

I had the BEST experience here today. The shop is so clean, and Brett is awesome! I got my bellybutton pierced and was pretty nervous, but by the time the piercing happened I was totally relaxed. He talked me through the sterilization process and really calmed my nerves. Not to mention the piercing itself is flawless. I couldnt be happier about my experience! Highly recommend ad astra piercing co.

Professional, clean, amazing shop with handmade jewelry! Highly recommend!

I highly recommend going in to get pierced by Brett! He goes above and beyond when explaining the process and how to keep your piercing clean while healing. I dont think I couldve had a better experience!

I did a lot of research before scheduling. I called only two places here in town and AD Astra was the one that carried jewelry I could use. They got me in same day, had quality jewelry, and allowed me to bring one person with me! The gentleman that did my piercings was very personable and talked about everything I needed to know plus answered all my questions. The place was so clean!!! Definitely recommend and will be back.

I got a piercing done by Brett, and it was an amazing experience! I was worried at first because I was running late, turns out I had nothing to worry about. Brett was so kind, understanding, and professional.Everything about the place was beautiful and clean! I will be recommending this place to everyone!

Really happy with my experience here. I got a beautiful rose gold tragus piercing, and weeks later it’s healing like a dream. The appointment was easy to set up and the space is very clean.

I can’t recommend this place enough. The environment is comfortable, clean, and professional. Brett kindly answered all of my questions and was very nice and knowledgeable. They are also taking Covid seriously and taking the proper precautions for it. I have gotten pierced other places before and I will never go back after having gone here. Highly recommend.

My 6 yr old Daughter got her ears pierced here. It was a great place! Talked her through everything, and made it very comfortable. Very clean and professional! Highly recommend!

Went in and bought a pair of earrings for a gift for Valentines Day. I was told that I would be allowed to return them if they were not the correct ones and they had not been worn. I was never told that I would NOT be allowed to return them or I would not have purchased them for $70. When I called to set up a time to return them, not only was it very difficult to get ahold of the business, but when I did, they told me that I could not return them and that they would NEVER tell a customer that it would even be possible to make a return when they had blatantly told me that that would be okay to do because it was a gift.I know you say: You cant return and there was not a misunderstanding. You stood right there as we walked out the door and we said, If these are not the ones he wants we will be returning them. You never said NO returns and lead us to believe we could return with no problems. You have no posting of NO returns and your receipt does not say NO returns.

I just got my cartilage pierced and I love it! It was so clean, everyone was helpful, and super friendly! I will definitely go back to ad astra and recommend it to everyone!!

My sister and I got a navel and nose piercing here and Brett did an amazing job! Everything in the shop is extremely clean and sanitized and the jewelry selection is beautiful and high quality with reasonable pricing. Brett’s piercing placement was perfect and his technique was smooth and quick. Would 100% recommended getting pieced here or coming in to check out the jewelry selection!

Im 23 and got my first piercings here. the staff was wonderful and i didnt feel the needle puncture through the cartilage on my ear. thank you guys!

I went to get two helix piercings and an upper lobe piercing on the right year, and I got the same done on the left year about a month later. The service was wonderful. The people were chill and respectful. I was mostly comfortable (I have social anxiety, so that is really saying something). My parents came with me for the first ear because it was a Christmas present. I must say that the piercer endured the dad jokes dutifully -Lol . It has been almost a year now and my piercings have healed beautifully. I think I’m done with piercings for the moment, but if I ever got pierced again I would definitely return to Ad Astra Piercing Company.

They did a fantastic job! It was quick, professional, and I love the placement. Loved the simple, solid gold hoop they had. Will definitely go back if I have any other piercing needs 🥰

I had such a great experience. Everything was clean and safe, very professional, and a relaxing environment to calm nerves. I will definitely be going back in the future. Outstanding service!

I have worked with both Brett and Eric, they were extremely helpful, clean, and professional! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who is looking to get a new piercing!

High quality jewelry, clean, fast and knowledgeable

I have nothing but positive things to say about this little shop! I walked on a whim and decided to get my ears pierced and I’m so glad I did! What stood out to me was the professionalism, cleanliness, and friendliness! The jewelry was also super high quality and worth every penny. I always ask lots of questions but I felt welcomed and assisted the entire time. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for a piercing. You shouldn’t either!

I was able to make an appointment the day I decided to get my ears pierced, and I am so happy I did! The whole process was quick, clean, and easy. Brett was welcoming and explained the procedures, quality of the jewelry, and sterilization in a helpful manner. Highly recommend!

I got my septum, and belly button pierced. Its going on 2 weeks, and Im healing beautifully. The place is super clean, and has a nice selection of jewelry.

I got my tragus done by Brett. I was super nervous going in. He was very understanding, explained everything very clearly to me, which put me at ease. When the actual piercing took place, I didnt feel a thing. I highly recommend Ad Astra Piercing Company.

Went in to get my nose pierced and my mom and I both got our noses done! the staff were super friendly and informative, really helpful and answered all our questions. they were super clean and the place had a very comfortable vibe with water and drinks available! super clean jewelry and overall just a super good experience! :)

I highly recommend Chuck Householder at Ad Astra Piercing Co. Ive had many sessions with Chuck, my most recent being a week ago. I went in knowing I wanted a Sailor Jerry style tattoo and thats about it. Chuck talked through ideas and placement with me and I decided on a shark. He even pulled aspects of a couple different pieces together to create the perfect piece for me. Whether you know exactly what you want, or you only have an idea, Chucks your man. I am looking forward to many more sessions with him in the near future at Ad Astra!I should mention while I was there I had a nice conversation with Brett about a piercing Ive been thinking about getting. He was friendly, polite and informative. The only reason I did not walk away with a piercing is because i hadnt planned on one.There is a very laid back and friendly feel at Ad Astra. You dont have to be a whos who in the tattoo or piercing worlds to walk in there. They are a respectful and friendly group of folks.Check them out, you wont be disappointed.

Nothing but positive things to say about this establishment, I was treated with the upmost respect and professionalism. My piercer took the time to explain the process, sanitation, and after care to me which really made me feel comfortable going in, will most definitely be returning and I recommend this place to anyone looking to get a piercing with great quality jewelry.

Melissa has done an incredible job on my eyebrows. She is professional and super funny! Which makes the process go so smoothly. Highly recommend for PMU! 💗😁

Very clean and educational place! Brett is very efficient, knowledgeable, and compassionate. He is an APP member, and he makes sure you see and understand everything about the procedure before, during, and after. Honestly the only place in Lawrence I would trust to go to get pierced. Me and several of my friends have been multiple times and we have never been disappointed!

Great selection of jewelry, super friendly, super clean, and made the experience very enjoyable!

I was able to walk in and get both my ears double pierced. The piercer was patient as I decided what jewelry I wanted and explained thoroughly the sterilization process for the needles/equipment. I never felt uncomfortable at any moment, he answered any questions I had and I felt knowledgeable about how to care for my new piercings afterwards. If I want any more piercings, I will definitely return here.

Just needed to change out my post cuz it was too short but it was quick and painless! Great selection on jewelery too! Just make sure you make an appointment (:

I went in with a friend, each to get a piercing. Brett was really friendly and helpful when Id gone in to recon the day before, and then he was excellent as our piercer! A great range of prices and styles of jewelry, with many unique options. They werent pushy about the more expensive jewelry nor rushing us in our choices, and genuinely wanted us to get what we liked for ourselves. Everything was very clean and sterile, and Brett was very professional and talked us through everything, but was also relaxed and pleasant to be around! All in all a really good complete piercing experience.

Very nice, clean, bright establishment. Every precaution was taken to make sure the process itself and the materials were properly sterilized. Piercer offered expert advice and I couldnt be happier with the results!

Very clean and welcoming. The piercer was gentle and assuring. The process went well, start to finish. (I got my nose pierced, as well as my friend) ...The jewelry selection was great. I highly recommend!

GREAT place to go! They did a great job on my double helix piercing. Also, no one was creep. Brett who did my piercings was generally nice and answered all my questions. I did not feel like I was being judge by not knowing a lot about piercings. Go to this place it was amazing!

Best piecing place Ive ever been to. Super clean. The owner was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. The selection of jewelry was way above what other places have had. I would highly recommend them.

Very nice and clean! the guy who pierced my nose was really good at keeping people calm and telling them everything he did before he did it, and it eased the stress a lot. would definitely recommend

Always so clean and professional

Brett was super nice and really quick to get my piercings done! It’s also super clean on the inside.

I was able to schedule an appointment the same day I decided to get my nipples pierced. Brett was very professional and explained the sterilization process. Walked me through the painful nature of that particular piercing and prepared me well.

I stopped by the shop today because one of my cartilage piercings was starting to embed into my ear. Brett examined my ear, found a longer post, and switched it out in under ten minutes. The customer service was excellent, the store is very sterile, and the jewelry is high quality. I will definitely be going back! Thanks again!

This place is great! i went there to get a helix and my second lobe. he explained everything very clear. he also didn’t try to make you get the most expensive earrings there were, instead he told you what it was, and let you choose 100% on your own.

10/10 recommend. I got my septum pierced and it was clean and professional. The piercer talked me through it and was super nice. Can’t wait to come back. (:

I went here for my first piercing. I was incredibly nervous, but Erik was amazing! He kept me calm throughout the experience and made sure I was comfortable. The jewelry was nice quality and the facility was sterile. Chuck(the tattoo artist), ensured you had a great experience as well! Definitely would recommend this place to anyone thinking about getting a tatto/piercing!!

I don’t normally do reviews but I was so pleased with my experience at Ad Astra Piercing Co. that I just had to. The owner who did my piercing was very professional and personable. Everything was done using sterile equipment. And the jewelry is of the highest quality. I am beyond impressed and would recommend them over anywhere else in Lawrence.

Hands down the best piercing experience weve had. Very clean and quality jewelry selection. Very thorough job explaining things and actual piercing went off smoothly both times.

Super clean and reasonably priced! They make sure to let you know about the health and quality of what they offer. The jewelry might seem a little expensive but their standard is implant-grade titanium. For the ball they had a cute opal jewel I chose. Piercer showed a sanitization test that was put into a cleaning machine with my jewelry to show that it worked. Daith piercing was not pain free, but it was over in a second.

Brett was very professional and friendly! Made my daughter feel very at ease. Did a wonderful job! Also made sure we were well informed.

Brett did an excellent job at all stages of the process. He made sure we had the right form for my 7 year old daughter to get her ears pierced. Walked her through picking out jewelry, and was SO great when it came to the actual piercings. She said he made the piercing hurt way less than she expected.

I wasnt actually pierced here, but Brett helped me get my jewelry back into a piercing that had shrunk. He was very helpful and professional. I will definitely be going here when I have the money for any new piercings or jewelry!

Brett did a great job on my gf piercing. Very friendly and professional. We will return!

Very new, but a great addition to Lawrence that Ive been waiting for since moving here in August! Smaller, but highly reminiscent of KCs Supernatural Body Piercing. This being local is awesome! The piercer was friendly, the process straightforward, and honestly this is probably the best of all my (several) piercing experiences I fully intend to go back for my future piercings as soon as I can fit it into my schedule!

I got my septum pierced here and my experience was was great, I definitely recommend :)

Brett was extremely clean, professional, clear, concise, kind and reassuring! Would recommend 100x over!

Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Clean shop. Love my piercings will definitely be going back.

I took my daughter in to get a couple of piercings for her 16th birthday. Brett was very nice and informative; he made the whole process easy! I would recommend this place to everyone.

Brett was so nice and he made me grandmother and I very comfortable. Ill definitely be back for my next piercing!

Honestly, one of the best piercing shops I have been to. Everything was super clean and sterile, they have quality jewelry and the hospitality was spot on. This is definitely my new place to go!

The guy who did my piercing was very nice! I didnt feel pressured into buying any one piece of jewelry and he was very quick! 10/10 will go here for any other piercings I want done.

I have gone there for 3 of my piercings and I recommended my friends there too. The staff was amazing and really helpful and informative!

Brett was friendly, professional, and informative. Great experience in clean and comfortable environment.

I had a wonderful experience at Ad Astra Piercing Co. The staff was prompt, attentative, educated, and reassuring. The establishment is very welcoming, bright, and clean. From start to finish, I felt comfortable and safe. Ive already made recommendations to several friends. ☺️

I love my eyebrows She did 😍, Thank you !

Brett was awesome. Highly Recommend.

I went here on June 20th. I had decided (after having a previous piercing that did not heal well from somewhere else and then having it close up) that I wanted to get a new cartlige/helix piercing. I was nervous but the employee (either Erik or Brett I do not remember sorry) assured me all was well. He was very nice and the atmosphere was welcoming. The jewelry is top notch and perfect for sensitivities to cheaper quality jewelry. I had a wonderful experience! Thank you!!

Great experience getting my third lobe piercings! Friendly, informative and a nice clean shop! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.

So clean and so nice!!

He was really nice and did a great job and was clean and professional

The whole experience was really good! He was super accommodating and explained how everything works and helped with the jewelry and didn’t try to over charge us for anything! Very genuine and made sure that we were ok afterwards and gave us a soda to make sure that we had enough sugar!

Place a appointment went to the shop and no one was even there. What a waste of time

Brett and Erik are incredibly passionate about providing safe and precise piercings. The jewelry they have is outstanding quality; especially Erik’s custom pieces!

Brett at Ad Astra Piercing Co. is absolutely fantastic! I took my 10 year old daughter there today to get her ears pierced. Brett is very professional and friendly and the shop is bright, welcoming and clean. (And yay for the Keurig coffee corner!) He talked my daughter through the entire process and made sure she felt comfortable. He is great with kids and has a calm demeanor that alleviates any anxiety they may have going in. I highly recommend Ad Astra for whoever wants to have their childs ears pierced!

Do not recommend the permanent makeup

Very clean and professional!
