I got my nostril pierced here. I had a jewelry appt to pick out my piece with Tyler and he was great and had lots of information to help me make my decision. I got the piercing done by Mercedes. They were great, made me feel safe and the facilities were super clean. I appreciated how conscious of comfort and consent Mercedes was and made me feel like I was in control. Everyone at this place made me feel safe and comfortable! Great selection of jewelry as well, so many options, well priced, and I love that the piece I picked out was so high quality and locally made! Thats so cool!

Had a septum piercing from Mercedes. They’re great! They helped pick out the best jewelry for me, and talked me through the whole process and made sure I was comfortable. We had a good visit after too. Highly recommend them and good form!

Tyler at this location was amazing! Patient, informative and knowledgeable with his area of expertise! I scheduled an appt for 1 Piercing and he accommodated getting 4 done in the one visit! Wonderful experience, will keep coming back here.

I was interested in adding a couple more piercings and had some questions. I booked a consult with Mercedes. After discussing a few options, a decision was made. Mercedes was able to get me booked in shortly afterwards.
Great job, clean shop & working area. I have had no issues. Would definitely without a doubt recommend Mercedes at Good Form Piercing for all their piercing needs.

Got the pleasure of having Mercedes help me with picking out high quality jewelry for my navel piercing that had been done at a different studio and was quite irritated. Mercedes went above and beyond to educate me on the different types of qualities of metal and specific aftercare required. Very happy with my experience here, thank you!

Went in expecting to pay some substantial prices for a replacement on jewelry I bought back when the establishment was under old ownership (Transformations) and to my surprise Tyler was able to replace it & change it out for me for free! Super duper appreciate, excellent customer service

I have been to Good Form twice for piercings, both times with Tyler and my experiences were awesome! Tyler is very knowledgeable and helped me figure out which piercings and placements would be best for me! Highly recommend!

It’s been a while since I’ve gotten a new piercing so I finally decided it was time again. Saw Tyler yesterday and he was very professional as well as welcoming! He helped me make a plan for future piercings as I want more but I was stuck for ideas. Probably one of the most stress free piercings I’ve gotten. Absolutely beautiful selection of quality jewelry. I will definitely be back!

Mercedes was amazing! I got my conch pierced and they walked me through the entire process and made me feel comfortable the entire time. Not my first piercing but by far the best service I have ever had! Worth the price tag; I highly reccommend.

I was able to get some new custom jewellery for my nose through this shop. Kasi was amazing to work with, and I am so happy about the jewellery. The colours turned out so well. I will definitely be coming here again for future purchases of jewellery.

I got my daith pierced here by Krystal. She talked me though everything and she made the piercing go as smooth as possible. All of the staff here are super friendly and informative. I really like this place & I will definitely go back here again.

I will only go to this shop.

Pay no mind to the post below, stating how bad this business WAS years ago. It is clear that she has not stepped foot in this establishment for a very long time as I haven't met a single person, other than her, who does was not thrilled with Tranceformations.

I have gotten one tattoo and two piercings here, since moving to the island last year. I will only go to this shop.
My tattoo was tastefully done by Ryan and I have a specialty piercing done by Krystal as well.

Krystal also works the front desk and she has always been so accommodating to me and my flakey
