Hey there, my name is Chey. I am a member of our counter intelligence team. I have three great loves: Star Trek, reading, and everything sparkly! You can find me at our East location behind the jewelry counter (you won't miss me, I'm "the one with the hair") waiting to help you find the piece of jewelry you've been dreaming of.
Adorn has earned a reputation as a top quality tattoo studio. We specialize in custom tattoos: creating artwork specifically for our clients with their individual desires in mind. Our studios are equipped with knowledgeable counter staff and talented artists committed to helping you achieve a tattoo you will cherish.
Here at Adorn Body Art we are committed to working with you to create a beautiful tattoo that you will cherish for a lifetime. In order to facilitate this we have to come up with answers to the most frequently asked questions (FAQ). In this FAQ we will give you information on choosing a good artist and studio, and address many common questions to assure that your tattoo process is Good Clean Fun.
Your tattoo will take approximately 3-4 weeks to heal. Immediately after getting tattooed there may be some minor tenderness, redness, bleeding or oozing, swelling and/or bruising of the area for the first few days. Next, your tattoo will start flaking and may appear pale and uneven in color, this is totally normal and doesn't mean that the color is coming out, it's just your new skin cells growing over the fresh tattoo.

I made an appointment because my nose ring (stud) fell out and I couldn't get it back in, I feared my piercing had closed up! I came in with my service dog and they were incredibly respectful towards me and my dog. They were able to put a seamless ring in my piercing and I couldn't be happier! My piercer's name was Britt and they we supper welcoming and comforting, explaining the entire time what was happening. All the covid and health procedures we also very comforting, the entire process was very smooth and enjoyable! I'll definitely be back, I highly recommend:)

Came to Portland determined to get two piercings as a birthday present to myself. I booked my appointment ahead of time. Their website appt process was easy. Online waiver forms were a breeze. Seth was such a great spirit and so kind. He was attentive explaining everything he was going to do before doing the piercing. He gets five super stars!
I did notice inconsistent pricing from their website, waiver forms, and what's posted at the register. I was prepared to pay more than I did, but if I knew the price I would've done another piercing or upgraded my jewelry. Also wish there was

I don't usually write reviews, but my experience at Adorn Uptown deserves one! My daughter and I were able to make a last minute appointment with Luke for ear piercings. The online booking was very easy and when we arrived, there were COVID precautions established including personal check in,
screening, and hand sanitizing, and the overall cleanliness was above and beyond. We were able to discuss possible outcomes for my piercing and I felt very informed and supported with my daith piercing. My daughter was a bit nervous and Luke was more than professional and patient with her. He explained everything

I recently received a piercing from Luke at the Vancouver location. I intentionally waited a few days to ensure I was as pleased with the experience as I suspected I was. Turns out, I am MORE SO!
I initially went in hoping for an industrial, but suspected I did not have the correct anatomy to support it properly. Turns out that was indeed the case. I then asked Luke if there were anything similar I did have the anatomy for. He explained, that a straight bar wouldn't work, but if I were willing to allow him to customize a piece for me, he could bend the bar, and I could fully rock a unique, one

Here to say that Seth is an amazing piercer and an all around wonderful person! An absolute joy to be around and work with, they've always made me feel good and taken care of in the shop. I've had two piercings and a series of gauge stretchings done at Adorn on Hawthorne now and every experience I have had has been spectacular. The shop is immaculate, their practices are thorough, and their care is top notch.

I got Cosmetic Tattooing done by Renee and it was incredible!! She is such a professional and so incredibly talented. She was very detail oriented and made sure the brows were perfect to her professional eye and that I loved them. Renee answered all my questions and went above and beyond. If you need Cosmetic tattooing I 100% recommend you go to this angel of a human being.

I've had three piercings done at Adorn over the past few years, and all the staff is always so friendly and informative! Today I had my nose pierced by Luke, who made me feel so comfortable. He's funny and SUPER FAST! When you are pierced at Adorn, you know you're getting properly pierced with the highest quality jewelry, and you leave knowing how to care for your piercings so they heal properly. It's the only place I trust in Vancouver!

First time here. Took my daughter. Folks here have an attitude problem. Not recommended.
And surprised with cultural appropriation shown in images used at this store. Goddess Laxmi is Hindu Godess of wealth and prosperity. Show respect. Try this with Islamic or Christian religions. How about a picture of Virgin Mary here instead.

The staff was great. I have gone to adorn on Southeast Hawthorne a few times and was much more impressed with the staff at adorn uptown and well continue going there from now on. It was a much better experience, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself and will definitely go back and recommend uptown.

Adorn is incredible! From the friendliness to the cleanliness it's a 10 star stop. The shop is professional, clean, and organized. What an awesome environment to walk into. Alex was so kind and helpful. No judgement or pressure. I really appreciate their warmth. Also, tons of jewelry options which was sweet. My nostril piercing with Billy was freaking great. Such an entertaining guy to hang with and, bonus feature, he also knows what he's doing! Painless and fun experience. Thanks to both of you for lighting up my day. Very cool. See ya soon

Highly recommend this place for piercings! Lots of unique options to pick from and a mellow environment. Been almost 2 weeks and still love my nostril piercing! Very happy with the result and the entire process. No one rushed me when I took my time picking the jewelry. Luke was my piercer and made the entire piercing process seem super quick and pretty much painless with a few jokes to add. Definitely give this place a shot!

My experience here was fantastic. I was visiting from out of town and decided I wanted to get my septum pierced and this seemed like the place with the best reviews. Billy handled my piercing and he was so great at walking me through each step, making sure he felt around for the right spot, and making it as quick and relatively painless as possible. He also gave me recommendations for piercers where I live to follow up with. Really great job, easily the best piercing experience I've had.

I don't think I even have enough words to describe how much I love Adorn East. I've been to this location a few times and each time I leave with a smile on my face, beautiful jewelry and the feeling of being seen and heard.
Everything from the moment I walked in was warm,friendly and welcoming. I was greeted by Alex at the front door as he took the COVID precautions of hand sanitizing and temperature gauging. From there he showed me MANY different jewelry options. He even let me know that they are able to do custom designs with their jewelry partner (which is awesome for indecisive

I have not had new piercing in forever but I purchased some jewelry from Adorn last summer so I thought I'd check them out, which turns out was a great decision! I know it's somewhat scary going into any enclosed place during this pandemic but Adorn made me feel very comfortable. They had all of their COVID-19 regulations up on their website, along with procedures, and updates they have put into keeping themselves and their clients safe! You can register for an appointment on their website (no walk-ins for the foreseeable future) and choose a date/time that works best for you. Seth was

Came here for my wife's nose piercing. The piercing guy was so friendly and personable, really easy to hang with. Customer service was top notch- they changed their prices after we bought the gift certificate but still honored it at the old price. That's legit, friends.
Shame they don't have proper disability access, though. Ramp needed!

Adorn is a professional piercing shop that values customer service and quality of car. Came with my friend to get her second ear lobe piercing and we were extremely happy with our experience. Arrived without appointment on a Thursday night at 6:30pm, picked out an earring and then waited about 15 minutes to actually get the piercing done. Seth, our piercer, was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and friendly. He was meticulous with keeping everything sterilized... he changed his gloves 5 times during the piercing process!! He had my friend lay down on a padded bench (the ones in doctors offices
