Came here for piercings while on vacation and had a GREAT experience! Very clean and everyone was super nice! Prices were reasonable as well. Would definitely recommend!!!
Bryant is awesome! Appreciate him fitting me in and the amazing work done.
Kiva is the place to go for your piercing needs. Bryant and staff were wonderful. They keep the space super clean and loved that theyre still requiring mask and screening people for covid. Bryant did such a good job distracting me while doing my piercing and its healing wonderfully. Will absolutely refer everyone to Kiva!
Great experience! Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, there was a good selection of jewelry, and the whole place was spotless!
Dear diary. Today was a journey like no other. The wife left her plugs at the house three hours away so we set out to find her some need beach wear. As we tricked up the strip walking in very shop one by one that looked like they cared anything close, after a hour and a half we were no closer. Then to our surprise we came upon KiVA. It was a refreshing upscale new body piercing place with a remarkable jewelry selection and show room. BRYANT Kelly was very helpful and excited about the up coming season in a week. He has some of the best art on the strip. The collection of jewelry he has was amazing and not the same mass produced stuff you see in every shop you pass. He said he is as so able to order some special one of a kind pieces off his website. He has a Instagram if you want to check that out as well. Inertia_body_piercing. Check it out and tell him his mom think is is special and she is proud.
I have to give props to Bryant! I made an appt with a couple of friends to have our nostrils pierced (first piercing besides ears with a gun years ago) while we were in town and I had myself worked up over the expected pain and the needle and so forth and warned him I am prone to fainting and that I didnt want to see anything and didnt want him talking about the needle or what he was doing or anything.I was SHOCKED at how little pain there was and how fast it was over and after he was done, he did a great job engaging me in conversation to distract me and make sure I was alright! He also took time beforehand to explain after care and answer any questions we had. I highly recommend Bryant for your piercing needs!Thanks a bunch man!
Bryant was great! He was informative and took the time to explain everything really well. I didn’t feel rushed at all (even when I couldn’t make up my mind on what piercing I wanted). This place is clean, organized, and has a great variety of super high quality studs & hoops. If you’re on the fence of where to go - look no further! This is the place!
Amazing! Good customer service, very welcoming! & gave you all the information you need to know plus more! Definitely will be returning. The quality of jewelry is great & he worked pretty fast to get the job done.
Decided last minute to get my nose pierced. Bryant was professional, funny, and laid back. I won’t be back because I don’t want anymore piercings lol although it was a GREAT experience!
Great place to get pierced! Super clean, friendly, and patient. I will be back to get another piercing.
Was on vacay and decided to get my nose pierced a second time very clean and thorough and professional. Nice products and it looks great. Next vacay will get another piercing.
Place was clean. But piercer was rude. Very unprofessional. Did not care about wasting your time. Very arrogant would not go back. The girl at the counter very uninformed on piercing after care.
Bryant was excellent. Customer service was on point, very informative, great selection of jewelry and I was able to get the gold/diamond piercing I had been looking for months. Very clean which made me feel even more comfortable. I will be back!!!
I got a face dermal here over the weekend and Bryant did an amazing job. Will be back again!
Definitely go to Bryant, this is my second time getting my nose pierced and it hurt way worse the first time than It did this time felt like a little pinch, definitely will be going back!!
This place is amazing. Ive been there for my nose and ear piercings. Then I went back to get my daughters ear done. Bryant made her smile and feel comfortable
Let me first start by saying I lovvvvveeee my piercing. I got the Industrial and the rook. Bryant was my piercer and he was awesome! My pain on both was about a 2 on the Rook and a 3 on the Industrial. It was Clean, quiet, and a comfortable atmosphere. He took his time to explain everything, from the sizes and choices of jewelry to day by day cleaning. He was very gentle and took his time. I loved that because I didn’t feel rushed. Which made me feel more at ease with my piercing. He is awesome and down to earth!!! I will most definitely be back for more!!! One more time.... I lovvvveeee❤️❤️😍 my piercings!!! Check him out! You won’t regret it!!
This was a very professional setting. Good service and I would definitely come again and recommend it to friends.
We (my daughter and I) have been coming to Kiva for about a year. Weve been in 3 times in that year. Bryant has been our piercer each time. He is always kind, helpful, informative, and never pushy. He gives us all the time we need to make informed decisions. The studio is very clean. We make appointments online and were the only ones in the studio. It is very Covid safe. We will continue to go to Kiva for all our piercing needs.
I really had a great experience here. Bryant is very funny, very professional and very educated. I got a nose piercing, I was a bit nervous but the process was quick and easy, and he clearly knows what he is doing. I highly reccomend this place, it may be a bit pricier but you really are getting quality service.
More costly then your average tattoo shop, but definitely worth the price ! The jewelry is absolutely gorgeous (the more expensive collection) they have regular surgical jewelry as well that is beautiful. The shop was VERY clean and sanitary, the piercer Bryant was very cool and down to earth. He provided very detailed after care instructions on how to take care of the piercings. The piercings I received were nose and ear lobe, I’ve had my nose done 4 other times and this was by far the least painful and just overall a great experience
By far one of the BEST piercing places I have ever been. Made a last minute appointment because I had a nose piercing closure unexpectedly. He was able to get me all fixed up and also I got my left side of my nose pierced. Thanks a lot ! I will be returning soon and will be sending customers in your direction!
My experience was great! The piercer did a great job of putting me at ease, explaining the process and the different types of jewelry. If I ever decide to get another piercing, Ill come back.
Excellent service and knowledgeable
I highly recommend this place for any piercings while you are down here, super professional super clean and very nice staff. I’ll definitely come back if I ever decide to get any new piercings!
Wanted my nose done for years and went to Bryant this evening, very friendly, very professional, informational, and tells it how it is. He is not pushy about sales and the nose piercing itself was not painful. Could not ask for more. Thank you.
I walked in today and from the moment I stepped in to this shop I felt very comfortable. Maddie helped me out and she was so kind. She answered all my questions and even had Bryant come and speak to me before making any decisions. I can hands down say this was the best experience I have ever had with a piercing shop and it was all thanks to the both them. Great shop, amazing jewellery, and even better staff. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends.
While on vacation, I decided to get a nostril piercing. I looked into all the local places and read reviews. Coming here was the absolute best decision. They were so friendly and knowledgeable. I have several piercings and tattoos so I knew all about cleaning my piercing. I didnt purchase saline solution from them because I had my own. I was reminded to check the expiration date on the saline solution I had at home (Im glad I did - it was expired). At no point did I feel any pressure to purchase anything. They let me know about all the options for jewelry at many different price ranges. Bryant really knows his stuff and even gave me pointers about some other piercings that I have. They were very friendly and knowledgeable and really make you feel at ease. I will definitely return when I am back in town.
I took my daughter there to get a belly piercing and had a great experience. The staff was so nice and very informative. Even with having a lot of customers in the store at once, they didnt rush us or pressure us into making decisions on what services we needed, instead they answered all of our questions with enlightenment and enthusiasm. My daughter loves her new piercing and I myself will be returning to that location to have my piercings done as well 😊.
Bryant was very knowledgeable and helpful, in fact I called to inquire 20 minutes before they open (not realizing I called early) and was waiting to call back but I didn’t even have to because he called me! He noticed missed call and called me back to help. I’ve never had a business care enough to do that. It’s the little things! Thank you!
Very professional and helpful!
Recently bought a handcrafted amethyst pendant set in silver with a silver necklace for my Mother’s Day gift for my mom from Kiva Fine Jewelry and Body Piercing at the Virginia Beach front. This is my new “go to” store for unique and beautiful gifts. They specialize in American made gold and gems. In addition they have some really fine artwork.It’s officially an art gallery as well as a piercing studio. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. And, the decor is so lovely. I highly recommend this shop to any and all.
The staff was very friendly and their jewelry is amazing quality. Maddie was a great help and pulled out any jewelry I wanted to see a little closer. Bryant made the piercing process super easy and comfortable and I’m excited to go back!
Awesome experience! Would def come back
Got my nose pierced they did awesome job. Very very clean. Great advice. Great jewelry. Sooooooo happy!! Cant wait to go back to get some replacement jewelry!
Staff was very knowledgeable and courteous
BEST PLACE EVER! I went in to get my nose pierced, the shops was beautiful and clean, by far the nicest piercing studio I’ve ever been in! The piercer Bryant was so nice and informative, you could really tell he loves his job! I opted out of the traditional cheap nose stud, and upgraded to American made Neometal, in mint green! Emily was such a help picking out my color and holding my hand during the piercing! I will definitely be back!
It was an amazing experience! The people working there were super friendly and fun, wasnt nervous at all because they were so personable. Overall great quality of work place and piercing. Would highly recommend and I would come back for more😁
Wonderful employees. Absolutely gorgeous selection of jewelry. The staff is well educated and extremely helpful. Thank you for providing us with a superb piercing experience!
Only jeweler who pierces with 14k gold!! I spent a teeny fortune!! Was well worth it. Bryant was very knowledgeable in his craft, made me feel at ease. Staff was terrific! Love my piercings!!
Very professional clean shop easy piercing did not hurt at all
Very professional, friendly & courteous. I had a slight problem with the size of my jewelry due to having a very small nose but Bryant took care of correcting it even tho I am 4 hours away. He found a shop local to me & sent the piece to them to change out. Thank you so much!
I am so happy with the service and the finished result of my conch. Listened to me and what I wanted and did It! Watched everything be cleaned and everything was explained. Honest opinions about all piercings I want. Highly recommended!
I got three piercings here all healed well and it was a very welcoming environment. I went in just wanting my nose done but ended up with two more because of how comfortable I felt. Theyre the best get any piercings done here!
Came here to spontaneously get my ear pierced with a double helix during my business trip/vacation. The staff was very kind, informative, and helpful in chosing my jewelry and placement. They know their jewelry and piercing information. I was very happy with how I was treated, how quickly the got me in (walk in) and how comfortable I felt. If Im ever back in Virginia Beach I will definitely be getting another piercing from them.
Very nice place, clean and professional. Bryant did an outstanding job of informing me what to expect, the correct way to treat post piercing and keeping me in the know during the procedure. I had four ear piercings done in one sitting and his gentle demeanor kept me calm and assured. Nice selection of jewelry and friendly staff.
The lady we dealt with was very rude! Wanted $75 for a nose piercing then when I said that was too much she literally threw cheaper jewelry at me! The shop is grandfathered in due to the city no longer allowing tattoo shops on the strip. Dont waste your time with that lady. We went to blue horseshoe- about 20 minutes away, very friendly and professional staff!
Bryan was awesome and super fast’!!! Love my new piercing!
Staff was very friendly, nice, and knowledgeable. Pierced me very quickly. Definitely recommend to those wanting a clean, reliable piercing in the VA beach area.
Went in to get some jewelry swapped out. Nice selection of jewelry and friendly staff. Nice clean store.
I had my nose pierced here while on vacation. Everyone was very helpful and knowledgeable! It is extremely clean and sterile! Great experience and highly recommend!!
Great service, nice layout, helpful owner
I was planning to get my rook pierced at home and decided to search piercing places while on vacation. I’m extremely happy I chose to go to kiva. Everyone working there was extremely friendly. They were also very friendly to my mom who came with me and wasn’t thrilled about the idea of another piercing (I’m over 18 lol) I really enjoyed the inside of the store because it was clearly extremely clean. After purchasing my jewelry they ran it through a sanitization machine for 15 minutes which really showed they cared about safety and quality. I would recommend to anyone and would even say it’s worth making a special trip to the oceanfront for.
Hey thanks for the pretty nips! Maybe next time well just do my ears. They were chill, Id go again.
Ive had my septum done by Bryant twice. Both experiences were positive, warm, painless as possible, and friendly. He is a true professional, the place is spotless and inviting. If youre considering a piercing, this is the place to go.
Very professional job and atmosphere by Bryant! Would 100% recommend to any tourist looking for a piercing!
Great staff, selection and service! Id strongly recommend them to anyone who wants a quality piercing and experience.
Great place, very informative and friendly. Highly recommend!
Great staff. Emily and Bryant are super nice and helpful. Best jewelry selection around. All American made to? I love that.
BeeUtiful beeings lov this place! Clean fast friendly. .. Jewelry is #Priceless wont find none like this.
Amazing experience!! Got my tongue pierced on my vaca and Bryant made my experience fun, easy and less painful than expected. 110% reccomend! Great Quality jewelry and A++++ customer service
Great place! VERY professional and clean!
My husband and I were in VB the first week in April. A friend and I went for a walk and we found this piercing studio with lots of jewelry to look at. Many years ago I got my Tragus pierced and was looking for the right style and size hoop. Finally I found just what I wanted so I bought 2 and had my second Tragus piercing done. This shop is very professional.They use the proper equipment for sterilization, and the piercer was maticulous with every detail. Get ready to laugh because the ladies at the counter are so funny, and they really know what they are talking about. They explained the differences in jewelry and different piercings. They had the jewelry beautifully displayed in beautiful show cases around the store. The gentleman who did the piercing had a very gentle touch, and I was actually shocked he had my ear completed and I didn’t even know he had started.I am much older than the usual beach goers looking for a piercing, 57 to be exact. I highly recommend KIVA to anyone from any age group to come here and get your piercings done. KIVA is the real dealand very professional!
Pricey, but worth it. You get good quality jewelry along with very clean and I mean clean environment to get pierced.
Was in their last night 6/9/2018 for naval piercing awesome place professional clean and beautiful jewlery. Great work love it.
Belly button piercing:The girl thoroughly explained the after care with me and the guy did a great job making it as painless as possible.
Convenient, high quality jewelry.
Bryant did a great 14k gold daith piercing on my daughter for her birthday!

Hole in 1
I was very displeased with Bryants unprofessional behavior towards me and my sister. We both felt uncomfortable with comments towards us and walked away knowing we would never come back to this establishment. I was disgusted with his egregious behavior. He had to pierce my sister‘s nose 3 times because he did it wrong. All in all take caution when going to the establishment. Thank you.
Wear a mask! quick piercing
