Services
These classes, and workshops are for body piercing professionals and businesses and not offered to the general public. Scratching the Surface - Delve into the magnified world of surface finish. We'll take a look at the 3D topography of a variety of body jewelry materials and finishes, its role in body piercing, and some differences that just might change the way you look at your jewelry.
Rob Hill is the owner of Prysm Jewelry & Piercing. Originally from Calgary in Alberta, Canada, Rob has made West Des Moines, Iowa his home. In addition to piercing throughout North America since 2000, Rob has been a member of the Association of Professional Piercers (APP) since 2012, as well as an instructor at the annual APP Conference.
As a full body piercing studio, we dedicate ourselves to our passion. Ongoing education, over 45 years of combined experience, scrupulous attention to detail, and the drive for perfection means "flawless the first time" results that our clients deserve. Our new state of the art facility is home to the absolute best products, equipment, techniques, and jewelry available in the field.
We customize each piece of jewelry for each individual's needs and wants. Considering the angle that jewelry sits on the body, the location, and the size, will have a drastic effect on the balance and illusion that is created when the jewelry meets your body. We also feature some traditional jewelry, pendant and earing pairings and offer custom engagement rings and wedding bands.
Choosing where to go to get your child's ears pierced can be difficult without thorough and accurate information. While it is tempting to make this decision based upon convenience, we at Prysm Body Piercing encourage parents to consider quality and safety as primary factors in selecting a studio and piercer.

Great experience with my daughters helix piercing for her 17th birthday. This piercing studio is so different than any other I've been to. The environment is very modern, clean, and has a high end jewelry store like feel to it. Nate helped us pick out the right size ring and did a full consultation with his professional opinion. He explained where he would pierce if she wanted a stud vs where he would for a ring. Made total sense.
One of my favorite things was that Nate spoke directly to my daughter vs only me. He made her feel very comfortable and explained everything so well.

I had both of my lobes pierced here. The facility was extremely clean, and the piercer was friendly and professional.
I picked out some budget-friendly studs, and I wasn't pressured to spend more money or buy anything extra. It's nice to not feel pressured.
Overall, the place gives off a very laid-back, but extremely professional vibe. Well worth the extra money compared to going somewhere cheap at a mall.

We just had our daughters ear lobes done. Nate is very knowledgeable and did amazing explaining everything to us all while hyping her up to get the piercings and reassuring her during the process. Everything was super clean and professional I can't say enough good things about Nate. Set up your appointment you won't be disappointed.

Best place to get pierced. They take their time with each individual to personalize their experience (size, anatomy, etc). Definitely one of the beat places to go. Also the only place I will go from here on out. You can tell by the way they speak to you that they know and understand what they are doing. Their expertise far excels any expectations I’ve had for a piercing professional. Although it may be a bit more in terms of cost associated to other piercers. I will never go anywhere else. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed!

I have had nine piercings all performed by Prysm Jewelry & Piercing, and I also have two gorgeous necklaces from there. Safety is the most important aspect for me (emotional and physical), and I consistently experience that with each visit. The staff are all Association of Professional Piercing members, and they all take pride in what they do. Not only do they educate themselves regularly, they also educate their clients. The new studio is GORGEOUS and highlights their amazing selection of gold, diamond, and genuine gemstones. I receive so many compliments on the jewelry I wear, which was expertly

We've been here a few times and every experience has been amazing. The attention to detail and professionalism of the entire experience is second to none. I was particularly impressed with the attention to sanitation that is done. I never felt unsafe, even during a pandemic. I also appreciate that they don't allow vids or pics and their reasoning was just as amazing.
I would highly recommend that anyone looking to get a piercing, come here. Remember you pay for what you get so if you want a clean place, a great piercing, quality products, and piercers that want your piercing experience

This is the only place i go for my piercing and jewelry. Rob is funny, knowledgeable, straight to the point and honest. Most piercers will take your money but Rob likes to make sure that the piercing you choose is right for you. Very big on educating clients no matter the piercing. Not to mention none of his jewelry touches the others. That was big for me. You really cant go wrong with him.

Very professional, thorough and friendly! Jacob was super efficient and very clearly great at his job. They didn't have the color of jewelry my girlfriend wanted but he noticed the jewelry she was wearing and offered to match it. He took his time with us and made sure she was happy and understood everything as it was happening. Highly recommend!

I couldn't get on here fast enough to give this place the review it deserves. I was searching for a piercing place in the West Des Moines area. I came across this place online and said why the heck not, let me check it out! So so glad I did. The customer service is impeccable. They are very personable and treat you like a friend not a stranger. They answered all of my questions with very much knowledge. The sanitation really impressed me!! I've never seen such cleanliness. The waiver asks you questions about your health and they literally show you when the needle is sterilized so you

I have several piercings from different shops around Des Moines and Prysm is far and away the best. I recently had my nose pierced here by Rob and could not be more happy with the results or experience! The selection of jewelry is excellent, so I was very indecisive. Rob gave me his honest opinion and I'm so happy I followed his advice. I was given a thorough explanation of the process and the aftercare. He was super speedy with the piercing too! Everything was very professional and the studio was incredibly sanitary. Highly recommended!

Prysm Piercing is one of the best in the Midwest. I've visited this studio for new piercings and for guidance on the healing of one stubborn, existing piercing. Rob is extremely knowledgeable, skilled, and fun to talk to. The staff is very helpful in selecting jewelry and placement that is specific to you. Only good vibes here!

It is always important to choose a location that not only offers quality jewelry, but one that puts an emphasis on safety. Prysm does just that. Great attention to detail and a remarkable selection of jewelry makes this place truly stand out as a piercing and jewelry establishment. I highly recommend Rob, the owner, for his experience and his personal touch.
