Yes, as long as you go to a reputable artist that is following all recommended safety precautions. Pain is really relative. Everyone has a different tolerance to pain. I'm not going to kid you, though - it does hurt. Just not that much. Some have compared it to a "hot scratching feeling". But, people would not be returning again and again for tattoo after tattoo if it hurt that bad!
Use one or both of the following solutions for healing piercings: Packaged sterile saline solution with no additives (read the label), or a non-iodized sea salt mixture: Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized (iodine-free) sea salt into one cup (8 oz.) of warm distilled or bottled water. A stronger mixture is not better; a saline solution that is too strong can irritate the piercing.

Critical: Professionalism
My neck tattoo was blown out and poorly done by Carlos Soto. I’ve spent over $1200 here on various tattoos and piercings, so I was very disappointed when I contacted my artist about a cover-up and he stopped responding. Save your skin and make an appointment with a more professional studio like Metamorphosis.

If you choose to base this place on any review, make it this one. I asked for a type of walk in, which i never do and i know it can be annoying for artists. This place made accommodations and got me in very quick under the circumstances i was in. for a very long time i hated tattoo shops because it seemed like they were in it for the money, but this place really changed my perspective. they were very clean and neat, very personable. Jordan did my tattoo, he was respectful and listened to every detail, not to mention he free handed it which was really impressive. I have 8 tattoos, 7 done by a different

Delaney did my piercing and she was so cool, professional, and made me feel comfortable through the whole appointment. A few weeks after my piercing the jewelry fell out (because I’m dumb and unscrewed it) and she was quick to offer help to put it back in, and was just the best! 10/10 would recommend

I have wanted to get my nose pierced for 25 years now and they finally okayed it at work! I called around and this was the only shop that could get me in sooner than a week. Brent did my piercing and was quick, clean, and friendly. He was super professional and did a great job! Thanks for a fantastic experience!

Update!
So about a month after I got this piercing, I was still in constant pain and had to get it removed. The jewelry was too big for me to be able to remove it myself, so I had to go to another piercer to have it removed. He said that my anatomy is wrong for the piercing, and that the jewelry had been rubbing against the cartilage in my nose, causing the pain. I'm not sure, but I would think that most piercers would be able to recognize this and give me that feedback before piercing me.
It's been about 2 weeks since I got the piercing removed, and I'm still in pain from it

I love this place. I consider myself to be a frequent visitor. I had my ears stretched from a 2g to a 00g, I had my septum, inverted labret, vertical hood and currently working on a forearm sleeve. When you go to a place that cares about their end results, you get good results. When they mark you for piercings and print you for tattoos, just remind your artist that you trust them and that is why you are there. There is one other shop down Keystone that I know of, I'm sure there are plenty more, but this place seems to be very proud of their work, informative, knowledgeable and friendly. For me

I have several tattoos, and all of them have come from this shop. I don't trust anyone else to work on me but these folks.
Getting an appointment can be challenging, but that should speak to their talent. Their portfolios are available online to view. You're sure to find someone you're impressed with. They also do piercings...not a fan of piercings for myself so much, but the gal who does them here is delightful. Most of the artists here have been around for a minute, and if you're a frequent flyer (:D), they're sure to greet you!

If you want a piercing, don't go when Brent is working. We went in hoping to get Danielle to do a piercing but she wasn't working that night (Tuesday). Brent was the piercer that night and he couldn't have been more rude. He clearly either didn't know how to do the piercing we wanted or just wasn't interested in doing it. You sure don't want someone like that putting a needle through your skin. We went down the road to Big Time Tattoo's and Piercings and had an excellent experience.

I could leave a really long review with lots of details but I don't feel like it. The piercer I talked to was pretty rude and unprofessional. My friend who went with me said "what do you really expect from a tattoo/piercing place?" and my response to that is if someone is putting a hole or permanent ink in me I'd appreciate good customer service, hahah. Hopefully the other workers are nice!

I really enjoyed my experience today at this location. My husband didn't have anything done and he felt the same. The atmosphere is amazing. They proudly show off all of their trophies and awards. They have soooo many!! Their artwork is on clear display. I was also in and out. I got right in and was out soon thereafter. He quickly explained everything to me. They also clean all of their jewelry on site. The staff are very nice as well.
