Visited SIX16 this past weekend for a nasal piercing. The shop was comfortable and pristine, and the front desk staff was welcoming and extremely helpful in selecting the appropriate hardware. Ryan Feagin performed the piercing. He thoroughly explained what to expect with the procedure, as well as the details of aftercare. Ryan provided a positive experience. Highly recommend him and this shop for your next piercing!

Nick did my septum and my paired nostril piercings, he took the time to assure that my nostrils lined up perfectly and everything was a breeze. Their jewelry is extremely high quality and everyone is so incredibly kind there. They are relatively pricey but for good reason, you get what you pay for. I would 100% recommend this establishment to everyone interested. They take safety very seriously and are APP certified. I absolutely love this place.

Six 16 fixed a piercing another Pittsburgh establishment botched. Don’t hesitate to go to Six 16. Nick and Ryan were amazing and took way more time and care with me. They rock and I will be going back!

I have always had a wonderful experience with Nick Sangregory I have actually followed him and have been getting pierced by him through 2 tattoo shops shops, then his first location and now 2nd location of his own business (Six16). One thing that I love is how he always takes the time to explain what is happening. So that way there are no surprises. He will give you a countdown, remind you to breathe, and has consistently answered and resolved any and all issues (up to and including when my skin inside my upper nostril piercing embedded the piercing inside my nose). The shop has always been clean and held to a high standard of professionalism. The staff is to the point because of the high traffic & how booked out they are. I recommend everyone I know go here. The jewelry selection and quality is impeccable, I have had my opal setup in (except when I take it out to clean) for 6 7-8 years with no issue. Though I only have a small amount of experience with his other piercer, he seems to be on par with Six16 standards, and is undoubtedly excellent at his job.10/10

Very overpriced. Front staff not very friendly. Unfair policies regarding issues with piercings under a month.Gave 2 stars at least because piercer himself was nice but I would never return again due to the issues stated above.

Absolutely love this place! I just had my conch done there last week and everything was clean and professional. Nick is the best! He was patient, precise and made sure I was comfortable where the placement of my piercing was. The staff here is so kind and welcoming. The studio is super cute as well! I cant wait to come back here in the future and I highly recommend Six16 to anyone looking for a piercing studio in Pittsburgh!

I had a wonderful first piercing experience here! Ryan made the process seamless. Clean facility, good vibes, nice people. Check this place out!!

Great place. Receptionist was very very sweet and helped pick out my jewelry for my septum piercing, and gave some advice for healing as well. Ryan did a great job for the actual piercing. Super quick and answered all the questions I had. I was pretty anxious beforehand but after talking with him I was much more comfortable. Im not sure that the needles are single use though, they had a sterilization machine that was used for equipment. Just noted that. Overall good shop, great piercers:)

Got my helix and conch pierced by Ryan and had an excellent experience at SIX16! They have a great studio and beautiful selection of jewelry. Everyone was super kind and professional, and I felt calm with Ryan despite my fear of needles. I would definitely recommend this studio to others! If you’re on a budget, I would definitely be a bit careful when choosing jewelry because they can get pretty pricey, but overall this place is awesome and worth it!

Had my first nose piercing with Ryan today. He was amazing! Super fast with very little pain. The girl working the front desk was super sweet with helping me pick out jewelry. Everything was very clean and professional.

I went in to get get a flat piercing, and was told that it would look awkward based on how small my ear is, so I was recommend a conch piercing instead. It turned out super cute and am so glad they helped me decide what would look best! Everyone was so kind and helpful, I will definitely be back!!

The process of getting my ears pierced was smooth and the place was very clean. However, there were a lot of hidden fees and they were either out of stock of their very limited and expensive collection or had incomplete pairs of earrings. Only go for ear piercings if you’re willing to drop 200+ dollars on a 5 minute session.

Above average experience at Six16 Piercing - The team is highly educated, talented and well versed. The jewelry options are more beautiful in person than I had even expected! The team took time in selecting jewelry with me that helped me achieve the look I was going for by pairing pieces and placements which was very exciting to work through... Coming from Rochester NY to Six16 was worth the trip & over all highly recommend a visit!

I can’t say enough about my experience at Six16. I made an appointment because I was interested in adding a chain to one of my earrings and knew they would have just what I needed. Well, Nick was so amazing in not only helping me pick out a gorgeous chain to add but also at helping curate both my ears. He had ideas that I wouldn’t have thought of, and that is exactly what I was looking for! Nick was so nice and had a ridiculous amount of knowledge, I completely trusted him and he did not let me down! He was so patient with me and picked out the most gorgeous jewelry. I left with 3 new piercings and some additions to old ones and couldn’t be happier. The studio is beautiful and absolutely impeccable. The jewelry is exquisite and the best of the best. They sell high quality jewelry, which a lot of people are not used to, but trust me it is worth every single penny! It is stunning and comfortable and sure to turn heads. I cannot wait to make another appointment!! Do yourself a favor and invest in quality jewelry and a visit to Six16!

The shop at SIX16 was beautiful! Lindsay was so warm and kind in helping me pick out my Jewelry and she also helped calm my nerves before my appointment! Josh was professional and informative throughout the process of getting my piercings. He did a great job and I’m so happy with the results! By far the best piercing shop around!

Highly recommend. I keep coming back for my ear piercings because of the amazing service, beautiful jewelry selection, and professionalism of the piercers. I have had my own mother and friends get their piercings here as well. I wouldnt go anywhere else.

Nick did an awesome job of septum piercing. Explained everything step by step. Painless, very quick, extremely easy healing.

This place is great. Very friendly and helpful salespeople and the piercing technician was very kind and professional. The piercing room was IMMACULATE like seriously cleaner than a hospital. Really helpful and patient with follow-up questions and concerns. Thank you!

I had my daith and forward helix done last Saturday with Nick, and it was awesome! He told me everything he was doing at every point in the process, and even checked in on me when my face and toes scrunched up (the daith really got me). The jewelry is beautiful and they were very upfront about the price and understanding when I decided to only get two instead of four. They even gave me a booklet and a saline spray to take care of my piercing! Highly recommend this place, Nick was incredible and didnt try to fit any piercings that wouldnt work with my anatomy. Great experience!

I got a daith piercing, and it was a super great experience. Such a nice space! Ill certainly be back.

Overall- I just had a really wonderful experience with every member of the staff I interacted with. I came in for a simple nose piercing- which I love. But also was given extremely helpful information about future piercings. Nick does a wonderful job of making you feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire experience. Can’t wait to go back!

I drove about two hours to get pierced here, and it was definitely worth it. Everyone was very welcoming and professional, the place was very clean and well kept, and they had a beautiful selection of jewelry. Nick made sure I was relaxed during my appointment, that the placement of my jewelry looked right, and that I understood how to take care of it. Definitely planning to come back

This review is long overdue but I was looking in the mirror today and realized how happy I was with my nostril piercing a little over 1 year later.I originally wanted a hoop for my nostril and was led by the wonderful people at SIX16 in the direction of a stud until it healed. I was a little annoyed since my heart was set on a hoop but a little over 1 year, 6mo with a hoop, I can confidently say my piercing looks great and no issues whereas my other friends who had hoops originally put in have all had to take them out d/t infection. Everyone at SIX16 is professional, well educated, and overall great at what they do. I cannot recommend enough.Im sorry Nick and those at SIX16 I will never doubt you again :)

Great experience today for a nostril piercing with Josh. Every person working in the shop was very friendly and helpful. Josh was kind, patient, and gave lots of info about options and the process. Smooth, excellent experience. The space and the people have great vibes. Highly recommend.

I had the BEST experience at SIX16. The staff was really helpful and friendly... but most importantly professional and kind. Nick takes much pride in this studio and it shows in so many ways - from the quality of the jewelry to the time he takes explaining his process. i felt extremely comfortable the whole time.The studio is impeccably clean and well maintained. I highly recommend this studio for EVERYONE, you will feel welcomed and appreciated. :)

I had a piercing that closed and was looking to have it re-pierced. They thoroughly educated me on the process that they would take and the different options available. The environment was clean and professional and everyone was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely being going back for more piercings in the future!

SIX16 is the perfect place for piercing. The staff was extremely helpful, the selection of high end jewelry is beautiful. Clean, private, safe environment for your session. Nick was extremely helpful in suggesting a piercing that would best fit my ear specifically, he made the entire process quick, easy going and virtually painless. He is so knowledgeable about piercing and you can tell how talented he is at it. I love that they put in the jewelry right away at the time of piercing so there will be no fumbling with it and replacing it later. I will definitely be going back here for more.

Nick is the best. I cant wait to go back again. Very clean and professional staff with thorough knowledge and compassion. If youre looking for a high quality piercer with the safest practices, this is your place!

I highly recommend this place. They have an amazing selection of high end jewelry for very reasonable prices. The staff is knowledgeable and will walk you through the experience. They will help you with any question you may have and also offer recommendations (which I suggest you follow). I had my ears pierced by Nick and he spent almost a full hour with me to make sure I was happy with the results. I would not get a piercing anywhere else in Pittsburgh.

First, Id like to say I had Nick perform a tragus piercing. He was incredibly helpful with questions and nice. He is fun to talk to when anxious about a new piercing. He alone landed 5 stars imo. However, the front desk figure was rude and short with me when I asked them questions. They would respond in a demeaning tone when I asked perhaps obvious questions to them, but to I (only a second time client) did not know the answers to. I almost walked out before I had the chance to meet Nick, thus possibly losing a 50$ deposit to the front desk attendant who was very unprofessional and abrasive. Six16, make sure the person you are putting at the front of your business is the personality and temperament you want your guests to view you as.

Got my second piercing there last week, my first one was a cartilage piercing. I have had piercings before coming here and had terrible infection, but here they do a thorough sterilization before the process and I have my cartilage piercing recover just fine!

Absolute best customer service experience ever. Nick and team are wonderful at making people feel safe and comfortable.

Took my 17-yr old daughter in to have her ears pierced (2nds). 5-Stars: Clean, conscientious, and highly professional.

The best vibes, coolest people. Best decision Ive made!

Had Nick do a nostril piercing for me; six16 came highly recommended and I too would highly recommend. 1) very, very clean / sterile. My husband works at UPMC in a lab setting and walked out thoroughly impressed with Nicks sterile technique and attention to detail. 2) Im a fainter... and Nick did an awesome job talking me through what to expect, how to calm myself down, and overall made the experience as easy as it could be. 3) Love my jewelry - Im healing nicely and I think a lot of that has to do with the quality of the jewelry in my nose... BIG THANK YOU.

Staff is beyond rude and unprofessional. Don’t seem to care if you choose this place for your piercing needs or move on to another one. Really disappointed by my experience and don’t recommend this place to anyone. Very poor customer service.

Fantastic experience. My first piercing after my ears as a kid and it was so easy and so pleasant. Front desk staff explained the process and told me the cost upfront. Nick talked me through what to expect, kept things sterile and gave great direction about what he was doing and what to expect. The shop is clean, the jewelry is super high quality, and I would recommend it to anyone. They even recommend follow up visits to monitor for healing and how to progress the piercing to what I eventually want. Well worth the price. Seriously check this place out!

I cannot express how grateful I am for the staff at Six16. We had an amazing experience today. We took our seven-year-old daughter to get her ears pierced. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming making my daughter feel comfortable from the start. They made it very clear to her that this whole thing was her choice and she could change her mind at any point in time. Nick was awesome with her, walking her throughout every step, and asking her permission for everything he did. Listen, you get what you pay for. Go to the piercing kiosks if you want your kids ears mutilated, but go to Six16 if you want to be cared for and have an excellent piercing done.

I had a great experience getting my ear cartilage pierced. They are very professional including a very sterile and safe environment. Great information on taking care of your piercings. Only downside is the pricing. Very expensive jewelry and I was surprised at the hidden fees that were tacked on at the end. Everything is good quality and I would recommend it, especially given how hard it is to find a good, clean piercing place in Pittsburgh. Just make sure you can afford it in advance.

What more can I say, AWESOME!!Six16 body piercing is customer oriented, professional, and knowledgeable. They walk through the process providing information on your specific request and advise what works best for your anatomy. Looking out for your well-being is a top priority even if it means rescheduling for your best interest. These are all aspects I recommend to anyone looking for piercings so, look no further Six16 is your place!!

Really a great experience! Highly recommend. Clean, chill atmosphere. Tech-savvy, easy to make an appointment. They take the time to explain everything and ensure that you get exactly it is what you want. High quality jewelry with unique selection. Nick was really knowledgeable and took his time to place the piercing. Fairly priced.

Six16 was actually recommended to me by my mom, of all people, who had a great experience with some nose piercings. Im really glad I took her advice (for once). I had an awesome experience with a forward helix piercing. The staff was incredibly helpful and professional, and they helped me pick out the jewelery that would work best. Nick performed the piercing, and it was honestly the smoothest piercing Ive ever experienced. Im completely happy with my new piercing, and i 100% recommend Six16.

Very professional and friendly staff. Knowledgable about any questions you may have. Josh took a lot of time explaining all procedures, sterilization, options available as well as after care all done in a private and relaxing setting. Appointments are available ahead of schedule. Located on Butler Street near the main entrance to Allegheny Cemetery. Would recommend!

This is an amazing shop. I had the pleasure of teaching an educational seminar here for piercers, and I have to say it’s one of the best shops on the east coast. I send my clients here when they need a shop in Pittsburgh that does quality piercings with high quality jewelry.I know they follow regulations and their insurance regulations. I know they will do what’s best for their clients, even if the client’s don’t understand or want to accept that what they are asking for is not abiding with regulations or in their best interest.

Nick and his staff are professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. The atmosphere of the shop is very chill and I instantly felt welcome and at home. Not to mention the jewelry selection, it’s out of this world! Only the best and they have so much gold! Would highly recommend.

Nick treated my eight-year-old with kindness and respect. He moved at her speed, kept her engaged, and had her ears pierced before she could say ow! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced professional to pierce their child.Word to the wise: Nick isnt cheap and neither is his exquisite jewelry. Expect to pay $$$$. Totally worth it for our family.

Nick is incredibly professional, has beautiful jewelry, and his shop is very cozy. Ive been going to him 7 years and followed him to prior shops because of the excellent care I receiveand Ive never been disappointed. He is very current and carries stunning jewelry that is worth every penny. He makes sure you are educated on care, and happy to answer any question that you may have. I highly recommend Six16 if you are looking for a great piercing experience!

Best place to get a piercing in Pittsburgh. I am a repeat customer from out of town. Too much beautiful jewelry. Nice vibe. Pay for quality in jewelry and customer service. Warm welcoming vibe. Keep up the awesome work. And thanks for helping me out.

Beautiful shop with a lot of awesome jewelry. Both times I visited, the folks there were friendly and extremely helpful. The woman at the counter happily helped me poke through their plugs and obliged me by double checking measurements of each piece I asked about. Will be back any time Im in Pittsburgh

The best piercing experience I’ve ever had. This place is so clean and calm. Lindsay and Nick were very clear in explaining how everything worked. Very professional environment I would definitely recommend.

Nick is an amazing piercer and great professional guy along with his staff. Also some of the most beautiful and amazing jewelry selection in Pittsburgh to adorn yourself with. If youre looking for Safe, clean, friendly, and down right amazing, check out these lovely folks for your next piercing needs/wants.

I have had the pleasure of working with Lindsey and Nick several times. Kind, professional, accommodating all in a welcoming, clean studio. Finest in Pittsburgh! Will continue to visit when I come from out of town. ❤️

SIX16 is a beautiful studio with a wonderful staff!Nick (owner/Piercer) is professional, excellent company and is a joy to be pierced by. Nick performed my 2g Flat Piercings- he helped me pick out a proper size to compliment my 0g Conch Piercings and the entire procedure was at my pace. He was excellent and I highly recommend him for all piercing needs!Keep up the great work SIX16!

Amazing jewelry selection and an excellent customer service. The owner/piercer was very knowledgeable and explained everything every step of the way. The desk person helped me pick out the most beautiful jewelry. I definitely recommend.

I love this shop! I send everyone here. They are extremely knowledgeable and talented. The jewelry is lovely. The service is personable. World class shop.

So nice and helpful. Very clean shop. Extremely respectful and kind. I felt very well cared for and attended to.

This shop is amazing! The staff is excellent and incredibly knowledgeable and experienced about everything from the piercing to the jewelry they have on hand. I really enjoy their large selection of gold jewelry and their helpfulness with ordering custom pieces. I recommend to all of my family and friends in the area to go here and get a piercing by Nick.

I had a truly wonderful experience getting a nostril piercing at Six16. I cant imagine how many of these they do in a day—and how many times they have to repeat the same info and patiently watch people debate their jewelry selection for 20 minutes!—but I felt like I was their first appointment of the day. They carefully and considerately walked me through the process from beginning to end. Not to mention their stunning jewelry collection. Im already thinking about what to get next. Thanks guys!

I highly recommend this shop! I worked with Nick and he was very knowledgeable and helped me pick out the right piece for my nose piercing. He made me feel super comfortable and I will definitely be going back in the future.

First off, I never leave reviews for businesses, even if I had a positive experience. This didnt happen directly to me, but certainly influenced my decision on coming back in. My wife and I went into the shop for a piercing matter, and were sitting waiting. A couple young girls came in and began talking to the girl at the front desk and asking questions. She was extremely short with them, and was giving them unnecessary attitude. The girls were visibly taken back by her responses and her tone. Needless to say, it was uncomfortable to watch and listen to. She had this egotistic attitude with them that came across very much unlikeable. After reading some reviews, I think its safe to say that this young woman who works there, has rubbed others the wrong way as well. We wont be back unfortunately. Its a shame, because they do have some beautiful, unique pieces.

Amazing place! So nice, knowledgeable and clean! I bought two new pieces of jewelry for existing piercings and they replaced them for me! I can’t say more good things about them. I would 100% recommend them to anyone!

On a whim, walked in with a friend and had a third lobe piercing done. Nick was awesome and I didnt catch her name, but the woman who gave me information and rang me out was nice and very easy to talk to. I cant say enough about the space and the variety of jewelry offered. Would absolutely recommend and go back myself!

I came in to get my nose pierced. The staff was very friendly and efficient. They explained everything they were going to do and showed me how they check to ensure sterilization of their piercing products. Great service!

Beautiful studio with a well curated selection of jewelry. Lots of gorgeous gold options. My piercer was Nick was really nice and did a great job!

Ive had experience already with the owner at a previous establishment and can say that the excellent customer service is still the same. Despite not being ready to spend the money on one of their higher end white gold pieces, the staff was more than willing to help me find something within my budget that would still help me achieve the look I wanted. Even though the septum ring I chose wasnt expensive, the staff still treated me like a valued customer and took the time to explain my options without being offended by my spend thriftiness. This kind of respect ensures that when Im ready to upgrade to a higher end piece of jewelry, I will be happy to spend my money at this establishment.

The staff was fantastic, very knowledgeable about repiercing ears, cool about showing jewelry options in different price points and they LOVE dogs!! They explained what to expect in the coming months during healing. The shop was clean and relaxing. Im already planning my next piercings.

I can’t say enough good things regarding my experiences with Nick and his staff at SIX16 piercing! The first time I booked with them, I found their online scheduling service very user-friendly and wasn’t disappointed at all with my appointment! Nick took his time to explain each step of the process, clearly demonstrating his expertise and knowledge of his craft. He and his front desk staff were very professional and friendly. I recently went back to get more piercings and had the same high-quality, enjoyable experience. Not only are you in the hands of the best piercer, but a recipient of gorgeous, affordable jewelry! If you’re in the Pittsburgh area, I’d 100% recommend this shop.

The staff here are very attentive and knowledgeable. I went in a few weeks ago and got my Helix done, then came back today for my tragus and forward Helix. The gal at the front desk remembered me & what I liked and she helped me pick out some great pieces to go with the overall look I wanted. :-) Nick is awesome; he clearly takes his work very seriously and knows his stuff. Theyre also all super nice, which helps ease any nerves. Highly recommended.

The studio itself is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve been to shops all over the country and I can tell you that the selection and knowledge at SIX16 is unmatched.They carry an amazing selection of jewelry in reference to both styles and material. Quite frankly, if they don’t have it, you don’t need it hahah.Nick takes the time to explain everything in great detail and makes each experience as quick and pain free as possible. I couldn’t imagine a better studio and certainly recommend anyone in the Pittsburgh area to stop in and see for yourself.I’ve seen some of the poor reviews on here and to be honest.. they seem to all be born out of people not looking up the requirements for minors (which is no fault of the studio) or people not being used to purchasing actual quality jewelry. Frankly you get what you pay for and I feel this shop is worth every dollar spent.

When you read the other reviews about how the staff is nice, they are wrong. The women at the front desk was rude as i walked in and when i left. The piercer was nicer but gave me attitude when i left. My son and i went in to get a piercing and they would not accept him because of his age, when we went back they would not accept him because of the way he looked.

At my wifes suggestion I visited this shop and have also emailed them my questions. When I visited this weekend the ladies working the counter were both very professional and helpful. I know that I will be scheduling and visiting this shop to have my piercings done and look forward to the experience. If youre nervous at all, these folks will put you at ease. The shop is very clean and organized also, which is nice.I will update my review once Ive been pierced.

Highly recommend Nick and his staff. They are super profesh and knowledgeable. They helped pick out jewelry specifically for the look I was going for. All of the jewelry is high end and unique. I couldn’t be happier with my piercings. Coming back soon to add more.

I never ended up posting a review because I forget about these kinds of things, but anyway, I was super nervous about getting my septum pierced, because it was something that I’ve always heard horror stories about.I scheduled a same day appointment, (which is a rarity, but awesome) and the staff was super awesome about the fact that I wanted a very plain, surgical steel captive bead ring. (They have a ton of amazing jewelry, but I was on a budget, and they weren’t super pushy about it, which I appreciate)The piercing was flawless. The piercer, Nick, reminded me of a piercer I had in the past, who I honestly compare everyone to, because of all of the amazing experiences I’ve had with them. It didn’t hurt in the slightest, which surprised me the most.The aftercare was easy to understand, and as a result, I have a very great and healed piercing.Many months later, I asked for advice about fabricating a piercing for myself, and he was great about answering any questions that I had about metas and interactions with my piercing.Thanks again, and I’ll be back in the future for any more piercings that I decide to get.

SIX16 is a beautiful studio with gorgoeus, quality jewelry. Nick and his staff are top notch, and treat all customers fairly and professionally. I’ve had several piercings done, and I will continue to go to SIX16 for all of my piercing needs in the future. I always recommend to friends who need piercings or jewelry, and will continue to do so.

Great staff. Nick did my daith piercing it looks great and was painless! If youre looking for a place to get a piercing or just wonderful body/ear rings this is the place to go!

I have two full set ups here. Nick went above and beyond listing all the details and possibleCombinations and answering all of my questions. You won’t find a better jewelry selection in the city either.

By far the most clean shop in Pittsburgh. Nick is a genius when it comes to placement. He goes above and beyond when it comes to precision. His personality is kind and professional.

Walked in, said what I wanted, filled out the release, and got pierced. Great, knowledgeable, friendly staff. Good aftercare instructions. I loved their selection of gorgeous jewelry! Planning on going back soon.

Nick is the man! Stellar customer service and premium jewelry. Location is immaculate and the staff is just rad as well! Great work, guys!

Cannot comment on the actual piercing services, as I came in looking for new jewelry for an existing piercing in my cartilage, and have never been unsold something so quickly by folks working before (I’m in sales professionally). They looked at my piercing (orbital piercing with a simple silver hoop that goes through rook and helix) and immediately said they had no jewelry that could work, without asking a single question about what I had in mind. Meanwhile, all I wanted was a simple gold hoop to replace the silver one. After me asking them questions and pushing to see jewelry options, they finally measured the piercing and determined they did in fact have options that would work. By that point, I was so put off with the initial experience that I wasn’t interested in purchasing anything. The folks working seemed irritated to be dealing with customers in general and were overall unhelpful.

I have a daith, conch, nose, and 2 lobes all done by Nick and he was always polite, professional, and knowledgeable about everything. I have been wearing the same jewelry, purchased from him, in the lobes for more than 5 years straight with no issues, and the conch, daith, and nose over 2 years. When I got my conch and nose downsized a few weeks after getting them, Nick wasnt there, but the girl at the counter was happy to help with selection and sizing and the guest piercer (I forget his name) switched the jewelry for me, and that went smoothly as well. Its clear that these people care about their work and their customer satisfaction. I have never felt unwelcome in the shop even when I took 30+ minutes to decide on jewelry, the staff was always patient and kind.I wish I would have gotten more piercings done here before moving out of state as I havent been able to find any studios that compare to the quality I was used to six16.

Very friendly people. The experience was great, their shop is very clean. I highly suggest getting any piercing done here, they will definitely take care of you and make it an enjoyable experience.

Very high end as far as piercing studios go, the cost of the act of piercing is about average but they have much higher quality jewelry than most shops, and I would say the cost of the pierce is actually a very good quality because Nick is an incredible professional who did my wifes septum painlessly in a total of 5 minutes!

I am new to Pittsburgh and needed to replace some piercings that I previously have had. I was able to schedule through there website, which is a major plus. Ever person I interacted with was wonderful. The selection of jewelry was great, and everyone was very knowledgeable and honest about their suggestions. Nick was was kind, and we ended up just reopening vs repiercing my philtrum per his suggestion and it turned out amazing. I felt accepted and comfortable there. I am non binary and not once was I addressed with any gendered terms, and that may seem small but it makes all the difference. I will only be getting pierced here, and will recommend everyone.

I had my septum and my vertical inverse labret done. The shop was beautiful, very clean, very professional, HUGE jewelry selection! The piercer was wonderful! Super friendly meticulous very precise. Would definitely go back just for him! But Devin working the front desk seemed to be very irritated by every interaction between us and another customer.Called the shop back because I had questions about jewelry and swelling, Devin was the one to answer, was very short with me after I asked about my issues, stating that since she couldnt see through the phone I would have to come in for them to check it out and pay an extra 20$ for new jewelry and for their piercer to replace it. I thanked her for her time and information.Unsure if Ill be going back in the future.

The employees here are extremely rude and unprofessional. When you walk in, even with an appointment, they act like you are invisible or just flat out ignore you for ten minutes or longer. And when you finally do get to speak to someone they act like they are either bored out of their minds or annoyed that you even bothered coming into their shop. When you try to make a purchase or pay for your piercing service they become even more rude and act like you are just wasting their time by speaking. If you like overpriced piercing and being talked to in a rude and annoyed manner, then yeah this is the place to go.

I haven’t had the pleasure of getting pierced here yet- but I know whenever the time comes I will come here, even though I live out of state. The space is beautiful and the entire staff is incredibly knowledgeable and kind about the piercing process. Their jewelry exhudes the highest of quality and honestly they look like works of art in themselves. I strongly recommend swinging by and checking out the place next time you’re in PGH and thinking about a piercing in your future!

Unique ans beautiful jewelery. Super friendly staff. Make an appointment before you go because the wait time can be long.

I had a great experience at SIX16! Nick was super helpful in picking out a good nose ring for what I wanted, but he also was able to just reopen my old nose piercing, which was less pain for me! He was very professional and the shop was clean!

Nick and his staff have been nothing but helpful to me from start to finish. Anwsering all of my questions and explaining every step of the way. I would not go anywhere else.

I have gone here several times to get my nose piercing post resized. Each time they have given me individualized attention and information about the state of my piercing (which I got about 2 years ago in Portland).Although their products and services are a bit pricy, you pay for quality. Each time Ive visited every employee has been friendly, sanitary, and highly knowledgable.Would definitely recommend for a clean and safe first piercing experience, a change of jewelry, or any piercing issues you might be having.Will be back soon to upgrade from a post to a hinge nose ring!

I would not suggest going here because of their un welcoming staff and horrible quality jewelry. I purchased 6 pairs of over priced earrings that all broke, the needle part of the earring came off on two pairs and the other three they broke. mostley i would not come because of the staff they made me not want to buy their jewelry which should of been a good thing because they all broke.

Six16 is the real deal. I got a double helix piercing done by Nick, who is absolutely awesome. I brought my mom with me and she got a lobe piercing, and everyone we encountered in the shop (Nick, Micah, and Lindsay) were so kind to both of us. My mom is a nurse and they all nerded out over how they clean the jewelry and their processes around that (hint: they use an autoclave, which is basically unheard of outside a hospital setting, and means Six16 is as sanitary as humanly possible.)Ok, back to the piercing part: I had my helix/cartilage pierced TWICE before, in the same spot. The first time I went to the mall and it was too painful/started to get a bump around the piercing, so I had to take it out. The second time, I went to a piercing/tattoo place and after they pierced it it was almost instantly a mess - bleeding, super painful...it was awful. The piercer told me it was because I had scar tissue from my previous piercing. So when I went to Nick, I explained what happened during those previous two attempts, and wanted to discuss piercing below that area because I figured that the top third of my ear was beyond repair. He listened, examined my ear, and then gently explained why my ear was actually going to be totally ok to pierce in the original spot that I wanted.The end result: a PAINLESS piercing experience - again, Nick is a true professional and I literally barely felt a thing for both my piercings. Ive had my piercings for over a month now with zero problems. As someone who genuinely believed Id never be able to have that part of my ear pierced again, this feels like a weird piercing miracle.A few other things: they pierce in a separate room from the front counter, and it feels very safe, calm...almost like a doctors office, honestly. (But a cool, friendly doctors office.) Also, after you get pierced you can reach out at any time with questions (I have and got a response within a few hours!). Lastly, I live outside of Pittsburgh and Nick was able to easily make a recommendation for me to get my piercing downsized/checked up on in the area where I live.I will say that the price tag is high here - but worth every penny. You 100% get what you pay for - the most clean, professional, thoughtful piercing experience you could ask for. If you want your piercing done right, you come here, you pay for the experience and the quality jewelry (why would you want to fill what is essentially a wound with sub-par jewelry?) and you leave with exactly what you asked for, quality aftercare, and people who are there to help should you have any problems with your piercing.If youre in Pittsburgh, you should go here, hands down. My mom and I are already talking about going back!

This shop is a little different than your average piercing studio. The waiting area has books of Pittsburghs Whos Who, essentially a photobook of people with money. Combined with the high end jewelry store vibe its a little off-putting and not very warm.My interactions with the polite young lady behind the counter were awkward at best. I felt like she did not really know how to present the jewelry that was for sale, nor to figure out what I needed, aka simply not asking the right questions or offering any ideas.When I explained Im sensitive to most metals she insisted thats impossible, that their pieces are all hypoallergenic.I cant wear gold or silver (bodies are weird, but yah, thats a thing) and basically had to assertively push for something else, which ended up being titanium. No surgical steel or anything like that in this shop, which I admit is a bit offputting when its what youre used to.Front end experience aside, Nick was absolutely amazing. He has the touch for sure. He was gentle, considerate and professional. You could tell he knew what he was doing and even though my sales experience was pretty miserable, Im hoping I can come back with my own pieces of jewelry for Nick to work with. Hes the reason for the four stars! Easily the most comfortable Ive been when having my piercings worked on.

The people are very friendly, place is VERY clean and also have a nicer selection if body, ear, nose, and other jewelry. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to everyone

The staff was very knowledgeable about helping me find custom jewelry and they had a great selection of high-end body jewelry. It is a really nice place.

Even with a scheduled appointment it was a long wait time. The one woman at the counter was rude. The guy Nick doing the piercing was good.

Incredibly impressive studio! 16/6 would recommend!

I would not recommend scheduling an appointment to get your childs ears pierced at this location. I thought it would be the ideal location to celebrate my daughters birthday. Shes been anxiously awaiting for 3 years to get her ears pierced. I made an appointment the week prior, read the FAQ section of website and even called to speak with the shop directly. I wanted all of my ducks in a row as to not disappoint my 6 year old on her big day. When I arrived I was told she couldnt get the piercing because I didnt have her original birth certificate. Despite what the receptionist said, this was NEVER mentioned on the phone. It is listed on their website, but unfortunately it is listed at the very bottom - way below the section that covers minors ears piercings, so I never scrolled down that far. Yes, it was my error. But, the team was not willing to work with me. I asked if we could have a picture of the birth cert texted to me from the father - no!. I asked if I could drive home and then back (45 minutes roundtrip) and get the piercing postponed by 45 minutes - no, our last appointment is at 7:30pm. My daughter was in tears and they were not at all comforting. They didnt offer a, lets pick out your earrings and you can reschedule for tomorrow or any other generally friendly or nice customer service tactics. We left their shop, called another professional piercer in the city who allowed us to bring a photo of the birth certificate. The other location made sure that it was a fun and happy experience for my daughter - and still professional! Definitely shop around. Make it fun! Avoid grouchy people who make the experience miserable. No one enjoys spending their evenings in those situations. (many other reviews mention the poor customer service and grouch attitude - I wish I wouldve believed them from the start)

Pierced by nickwalked in to be greeted by a cool dude, we talked about my piercing of choice, went through what would work best till healing was done and then selected the jewelry.he did a sterilization on the piece of jewelry while we talked some more, then when it was ready he had me lay on atable and the setup the location for the piercing (cleaned and marked), he was calculated with the placement. his hands were still and I was pierced in literally 1 second. no pain, no blood; all smiles.dude let me know that I looked like I came in with the piercing. tipped well, and will return for any others I may want in the future.side note, the shop is neat inside, visually appealing and clean. piercer wore hypoallergenic nitrile gloves.thanks guys
