Got my nostril pierced today by Heather and it was great! She walked me through every step as she was doing it and was done super quick! Highly recommend!!
I have gotten all of my piercings besides my lobes done here and have bought all my jewelry from here. They are very professional piercers who know the proper techniques and everything is sterile. They have high quality jewelry for a fair price. I love this place and will always come here for piercings because I trust them and their products!
Metamorphosis is incredible. Their atmosphere is relaxing, everyone is friendly and helpful, they are going above and beyond for Covid protection, and their prices are great. 4 piercings later, Im already planning when to go back for more. They also have prompt and friendly email communication if you cant call or make it in to ask questions. I cannot recommend then enough.
Too expensive and they locked me into the place to make sure I couldn’t leave before paying. Definitely rubs me the wrong way considering that I’m Black. Also, my piercer had switched the jewelry that I had wanted without my consent and did not inform me, but the cashier. Would not recommend to any newcomer to piercings, and I hope to save any other unfortunate souls for going here.
I came here a week ago to get 3 ear piercings. The store is very clean and the jewelry selection is amazing. The jewelry is a little expensive but is completely worth it. My piercer Heather did such a great job, and seems to really care about the people she is piercing. I will definitely be back.
My personal favorite place to get pierced. They are so nice and friendly and I love how safe theyre being with Covid precautions.
I hadnt had my ears pierced since I was 7 years old so I did a lot of research to find a local shop that was professional and well respected. I had two additional earlobe piercings done back in April and they looked awesome. Last week out of nowhere I had some inflammation and irritation on one of them so I reached out (in a small panic) and they responded by email right away and asked for pictures. They kept in touch to see how it was doing and I ended up having them look at it this week. It was so reassuring to go back and hear that it was just a normal condition. I really appreciated their service especially for something they didnt charge me for. Ill definitely be back for my next piercing when this one heals up!
I have three piercings from here, the piercers were helpful and the prices are good. Trying to figure out my next piercing.
Didnt personally get anything done, but went with a friend to get a piercing. Very professional and did a very great job. My friend was pleased with her new piercing & I wouldnt hesitate to get one myself! Highly recommend!
Paul is talented, efficient, and personable. Would recommend his service.
I had my first tattoo done at metamorphosis. The experience was wonderful, and I returned several weeks later for a touch up. Unfortunately, the touch up did not blend with the original work. There is considerable variation between line thickness between the first and second visit. I am hesitant to go to another shop to have it touched up, but my single line circle has transparent sections and chunky sections. The staff and space were wonderful, the work done was not what I was hoping for.It also was challenging to communicate with the shop. I contacted the shop about the work, the gave me contact information for Paige, the artist I worked with. It typically takes about 4-6 weeks to hear back about an appointment or question. I tried both email and phone, but the delay between questions and answers was substantial. I thought this pace was standard until I started working with other tattoo parlors.
One of Indys finest tattoo and piercing spots.
Stopped in the shop on a Wednesday early evening to get my nose repierced. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. The shop seemed very clean and sterile yet inviting.They have a good selection of cute nose rings all different sizes. The piercing was fast and pretty painless. If youre going for a tattoo they only take appointments.
I went in to get my double tragus piercing done, the front desk was very nice the guy answered all my questions including showing me the jewelry, and yes you do need to make an appointment. Heather was my piercer, she was very nice, professional, the utensils were also cleaned and new, and she was very QUICK! I would come again for another :)
Ive had nothing but good experiences here. All the staff are knowledgeable, experienced, and super people to talk to. Rating a tattoo establishment is tricky because its sort of like rating an artist. They all have their own style and if thats what youre into, theyll do their style on you! The piercers are all extremely professional and will all do a fantastic job. Jewelry is all high quality, somewhat small selection as a result, but scheduling an appointment to check it out offers no pressure from staff and really helpful answers to all your questions you might have.
I have been here twice as just a regular customer, not a client getting a piercing or tattoo. Both times I was looking for body jewelry and I had heard good things about the shop and quality of the jewelry, so I wanted to shop. And BOTH times I had the feeling that the people working the front did not want me there and that I was a burden on them. As someone with social anxiety it was really troubling and I felt like I did something wrong just by coming in to buy. I saw a really big difference in how the employees treated piercing/tattoo clients vs. people shopping or inquiring about services. The employees talking to clients were SO nice. But its just not the case with the people at the front desk. I posted on my facebook because I was surprised such a highly regarded shop could make me feel so unwelcome. Surprisingly SEVERAL of my friends who have been to Metamorphosis agreed that every time they went in the front desk people were very rude and annoyed with their presence. I dont like to cause trouble but I feel like yall need to know that youre turning away future clients by treating them this way.
Loved my rose tattoo I got recently! Only complaint is that I asked for a white tattoo, walked out with black even though I said white…
If you’re looking to get a new tattoo or a new piercing, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve been going to metamorphosis for all my piercings for 5 years. They are knowledgeable & make you feel very comfortable. They put safety first!
Everyone on the staff that I encountered and saw were so nice and courteous. I was personally there to see Paige, for a touch-up. I am absolutely in love with my piece. I gave her my vision and she came up with something even better! I felt like I was being picky about little details and she reassured me there was no need for that which was a good feeling. I will definitely be going back for more and I hope to be able to go back for some jewelry, they have so many pretty things.
I had a negative piercing experience with Metamorphosis in 2019. I waited until now to write this review because that was my first piercing as an adult, and now Ive had my second piercing at another shop, so I have something else to compare it to.First, the pros: very clean and sterile, the piercing itself was quick and well-placed (IIRC the owner did my piercing, and she was great), and Metamorphosis has a very cool vibe.The cons: It seems to be a place that feels welcoming to some and not to others. Unfortunately, I fell in the others group. It wasnt a big deal until after my piercing, when I started having problems with its healing. It took a year for my lobe piercings to heal, which is uncommon. During that year, I went back for help/treatment three times, as my lobes were painful, raw, and irritated the entire year.The first time, I came in later in the day when there were no other customers. I asked for them to examine my piercing to see what the problem was. The employee who addressed me didnt get close enough to my ear to see it. From a distance she dismissed me with a stop touching it, and sleep on a travel pillow (advice I was already following).I came back some time later when it still hadnt improved. This time, an employee took me back to a room and examined my ears up close. She thought the problem was water getting trapped at the back by the flat backs theyd used, and switched out my jewelry for a different back. This was a much better experience, but when I asked when I should come back if it still wasnt healing, she told me I wasnt going to have problems with it anymore. When I asked again, she said, come back in a few weeks if its still giving you trouble.After a few weeks, nothing had changed. I went back to the shop at some point and explained the situation. With no expression of concern that it had now been months that my ears had been painfully inflamed, I was told to wait. I left after a few minutes and decided to go to another shop to see if I could get some assistance from them.Throughout the process, I felt unheard and like an inconvenience. After I stopped following their aftercare advice and switched out the jewelry, my lobes finally healed. I dont know if it was the way Id interpreted their aftercare advice, or if I was allergic to their jewelry, or if it was a coincidence. I just know that I wasnt as comfortable continuing to ask for them to help me as Id like to have been.I recently had a helix piercing at another shop. Ive had no problems with it yet. If I did, though, Im confident the people at this other shop would help me gladly. I didnt feel that way at Metamorphosis. For the cost and reputation I would expect better care. Maybe things have improved over the past year.This was just my experience. I cant say for sure that my piercings would have healed faster had they given better care, because sometimes piercings just dont take. I also cant say for sure that their aftercare instructions were bad, because it was my first piercing since I was 12 at Claires, and I may have misinterpreted them. The problem for me was that I felt dismissed when I was trying to troubleshoot what was going wrong. I dont think theyre a bad shop, I just dont think theyre the best option for everyone.
Today was my third time getting pierced at Metamorphosis. First in 2013, then 2017, now 2021.Front of house and literally any employee you come into contact with are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and professional.First two experiences were with Kristin for my eyebrow then a forward helix and helix. All three were perfectly done! Today I got my daith and another helix piercing by Paige. She carefully explained everything she was doing and checked in on me. She was so fun and friendly. I’m so incredibly happy with all of my experiences!Yes, jewelry can run pretty high but it’s quality product and to me the confidence of the quality items is worth the price when it comes to piercings.Will definitely be back and look forward to curating my ears! I wouldn’t want to get pierced anywhere els e
The staff I interacted with were all super kind and willing to offer any knowledge they had about the service i was receiving, Heather was my actual piercer and she was such a calming and fun person to work with highly recommend!
Nice and clean business with a beautiful selection of fairly priced jewelry made with quality materials! Due to pandemic, you need an appointment (book through email). I got an appointment quickly and was seen by Kristen (piercer) to change out jewelry in a halfway piercing that I have. Amazing experience. Will definitely be coming back!!
If you are looking to get either a piercing or a tattoo, Metamorphosis is a great option. It is a very clean establishment and they take all the necessary precautions to ensure a safe experience. They also have a great selection of jewelry if you are looking for something new and unique. If you are unsure of where to go, this is a great option!
Been going here for years. I love that even after a long period of time they still know me and treat me so well.

Earlier this year in January before the shut down I worked with a piercing artist named Paige. She was able to do my basic lobe piercings quickly and efficiently. Fast forward to today, life happened and my holes healed over so I contacted them and they were able to schedule me to get my ears re-pierced. I again worked with Paige. At the same time she also did the second lobe piercings. She greeted me like a friend and again made me feel comfortable through the whole process. I highly recommend Metamorphosis for all your piercings needs.
Absolutely love Metamorphosis. Ive gone here several times over the years for different piercings. The people here are knowledgeable and professional and the place is very clean!
Great experience with Lindsey today! Will come back and will send friends.
I went in to get some ear piercings. The staff was very friendly and took the necessary sanitary precautions. Kristin is amazing! I was nervous about getting 4 piercings done at once, but she put me at ease. I actually laughed through each one. She explained what to expect during the prep, piercing, and cleaning processes. I cant wait to book another appointment. The whole process took less than 30 minutes. 5 star experience all the way.
Ive been coming here for my nose rings for over 10 years. The quality of the jewelry is great.
Heather was awesome and very relaxed with me during my piercing today! very quick, and gave me easy instruction on aftercare. definitely will be back!
Went their to get a piercing done and Joe was extremely professional, and knowledgable. He made sure to explain every step that was going to happen and how to care after. the place is clean and the rest of the staff seem knowledgeable and very nice. I would definitely recommend to ANYONE.
I had a tattoo scheduled a month prior and the artist Trevor did not make any attempt to draw what I had in mind for altering the design I originally showed for my tattoo.When I showed up and he showed me the stencil, I corrected him on this to be told by him that I should’ve put these things in the email if I wanted certain things done. Yet I had explained it in the email... and he did not alterations with over 2 weeks to prepare for my appointment. So glad I just walked outMetamorphosis is tense if you don’t agree with some of the artist’s recommendations or ideas ..
I bought my sister a gift certificate for a tattoo for her birthday. She emailed for times and availability and pricing for a 6 inch tat on the lower leg. just a plan black tree. The cost was incredibly over the girt certificate and way over what other parlors was offering. Asked for a refund for the certificate and was told no refunds on gift certificates, to regift it...seriously, regift a gift. I have looked at there shipping and returns privacy policies and general terms and conditions on the web site and see no where that it is forewarned that gift certificates are a non refundable item. Final thought...over priced and not very good business practices.
Heather is the only person whos ever pierced me but all the staff are knowledgeable and professional. One of the best in the area!
I have been back multiple times for my piercing because the staff is kind and chill. They have a comfortable atmosphere that puts you at ease. Ill go to them for all my piercing and tattoo needs! Thank you!
I had a great expierence getting my tragus pierced today.
Great Service! Call to schedule. Must wear mask to enter after they allow you in.
Heather did an excellent job, thorough and fast for piercings. Very clean environment. Good experience👍🏽👍🏽
I had a great experience here. Everyone I spoke to was super friendly and helpful. Their products are high quality and they have a ton of options.
Best place for piercings and the jewelry is amazing! My favorite place to go for jewelry or a piercing.I have highly recommend this place to all my friends!
Super clean and friendly. Went in to switch out some cartilage jewelry. They were very knowledgeable and quick to help.
Kristin helped me with a fresh piercing problem i had from another person. She was great! I will b back
Wow. This is an awesome place. All the people are extremely nice and willing to help. The piercer, Paige, was very calming and went into great detail about after care. She made the experience easy, quick and as painless as possible. I loved the decor and the overall friendly demeanor. If you are looking for a great place to get any work done I would come here. They are so worth it.
I went today to get three lobe piercings and one helix piercing! Paige was such a comfort and a gave me speedy experience. Super professional and right to the point!
The place is kept very clean, theres usually parking out front, all employees are fantastic and their prices are reasonable. They require deposits for tattoos but you deduct that from your final tattoo price. My mother-in-law and I got tattoos done on Friday (7/21/17) by Joe and he was amazing to work with! My tattoo was $150 and hers was $250 so we felt it was very reasonable. We will be coming back to see him very soon!
Professional, clean, friendly. Love this place and I got my first professional work done here! Thanks Paige!
VERY CLEAN. Making an appointment was easy and I was contacted fairly promt after expressing interest in getting a piercing. The email was clear on standards and expectations. I was greeted by Kristen who was my piercer and she was professional and knowledgeable which was comforting. Will definitely return.
Very clean, very polite and very professional. I got my ears pierced and they have not gotten infected. Definitely recommend!
I went for a piercing and the girl had an attitude and rolled her eyes when I had questions. I also recently figured out why my piercing has been hurting so much even though I have been cleaning it twice a day for months.. She never Pierced my ear through properly!! it only went halfway in! She didn’t even check it. My ear has been blue and swollen for weeks.
They have won awards for tattoos and piercings pretty much every year for something like the last 10 years. Their artists are great and they guarantee their piercings for life! I go back every 6 months for a free tygon change. Tip your artists and piercers! They deserve it for being so cool and friendly constantly! 🤘
I went and got an ankle tattoo today! I LOVE it so much! Paul is awesome! He is very professional and patient! Highly recommend!!I would love to give 5 stars. However, the ladies at the front werent exactly kosher. I know that not everyone has kids at a tattoo shop but Eli wasnt bothering anyone. He was sitting watching my phone. One of the ladies at the front was extremely bothered by us being there and was short with me. I remained polite.I will go back to get more stuff done but please work on customer service! I was highly recommended to go to your shop!
I really enjoyed the great customer service they have! Everyone is quick, friendly, and you can tell this place is worth it because whew, it was crowded! I came to get my nose re-pierced and will say Paige did a wonderful job! She was kind and quick! I’ll definitely be back for more as well as referring Metamorphosis to friends and family!
I came here because my wife wanted to get her nose pierced. It was Saturday night broad ripple was packed as was this place. It took only 30 minutes from telling what we wanted to needle to nose. The woman who pierced our nose was extraordinarily knowledgeable professional and cleanly. I would highly recommend your next piercings to be done here.
I’ve come here several times over the years for both tattoos and piercings. I’ve never been extremely blown away by the services, but I figured they are more expensive because they’re offering higher quality. I’ve officially reached my breaking point. Every time I come in the people working are rude and dismissive. I had an especially bad experience with Heather today after coming in to ask for help with a helix piercing I got that wasn’t healing well. She wouldn’t even let me get a sentence out without interrupting me and telling me everything I was doing wrong. While I was seeking advice, there is a more polite way to give it, and I wish she would have let me explain my specific situation before interjecting. Literally before I was able to ask a single question she rudely said “I don’t know what you want from me.” Uh yeah no duh, you haven’t let me get out a full sentence yet. I can’t believe how rude these people are. They will not be getting any more business from me. I promise you can find better services at better prices somewhere else.
Always had great luck here and everyone is so friendly.
Staff is always great, and clearly care about what they do.
I haven’t had any piercings in about 15 years and they were just basic lobes and a cartilage that I got with a piercing gun. I came here to get second holes (upper earlobes) done properly with a needle.Time: I came in around 8 pm on a Friday and it wasn’t busy. I was able to fill out the paperwork, pick out jewelry, and get the piercings done in less than 30 min.Staff: I was kindly greeted and they patiently waited as I looked for what jewelry I wanted and filling out the paperwork. Heather did my piercings. I was nervous but felt completely comfortable by her laid back and kind personality. She explained the process and let me know exactly what she was doing so I had no surprises. The piercings felt like a quick shot in my ear and have been slightly sore that evening, and pain free the next day. Heather was the best!!Cleanliness: this was my first experience in a place for tattoos and piercings. Everything was very clean. Each station I walked by was organized and clean. The room I got my piercings in was clean and Heather used two different needles to do my piercings and properly disposed of the needles.I would recommend anyone looking for a place to get piercing to come here.
😍I LOVE GOING HERE!😍 Im more of a piercer than tattoo person. I did get my 1st & only tattoo here last Nov 18. It didnt hurt & its behind my ear.Ive been going here since I was 18. Ive got my lip done, nipples,tongue,Christina, hood, & navel. I felt discomfort w 2 of them & they were more than willing 2 up the size of my barbell & navel w no extra charge.Im not being paid nor do I personally know the owner & staff here. I just really love this place from cleanliness to service. Im debating on what to get nxt.😛Whatever it turns out 2 b i know itll b awesome! 😛
Friendly, quick, easy, and helpful staff. Talked me through the whole piercing procedure. Felt like they really care about ongoing health of skin/piercing. I would definitely go back in the future
Metamorphosis is the only place I trust to do any of my piercings. Heather is INCREDIBLE and remembers me every time. I’ve gotten multiple cartilage piercings, my daith, a few nose piercings, and my industrial done here. Exceptional service every time. I currently live out of state and if I want a new piercing I wait until I’m in town. The prices are a bit steep for the jewelry, so I usually just get the most basic pieces but other than that, I would definitely recommend!
Quick, professional, patient. Plan to return.
Just finished my first tattoo with this shop, I have 3 larger pieces total. I couldn’t be happier, I had a beautiful shoulder piece of peonies by Joe. It’s perfect. I would recommend anyone to this studio if they want a serious piece of art you can be proud to show off!
I went to get my ears stretched and the process was a very quick and very clean one.
Very impressed with quality of service at Metamorphosis. Two girls got piercings, one first timer and one experienced with piercings. Both received a consultation and very precise placements of their piercings. Very happy with results. Not cheap, you must purchase the jewelry there, and it runs a minimum of $20 per piece, but worth it for quality of the job.
They are nice, friendly, unpretentious folks who are professional and will make you feel comfortable. Paige did a piercing for me, made sure it was precisely where I wanted it and took into consideration facial anatomy and what would work best. 5 stars no contest!
I cannot stress enough how great this shop is. A group of 4 of us are in town from Boston and got tats by Paige and Jeff. They did an AMAZING job. They are so talented, other shops do not compare. Paige is the sweetest person and such a great artist. The only sad part is the fact that I live so far away and cant come back for all my future pieces.
Absolutely love this place. I have gotten 4 piercings from them and shout-out to Heather for always making me feel comfortable. Theyre friendly, funny and are really good at making the experience quick. I will always buy jewelery from them and will continue to go here if I get more piercings
Lovely but expensive jewelery, can be super busy as they are popular. Very helpful staff. Womyn artist and private areas available. Cash or card accepted. Should call ahead for availability
They always have a great supply of piercings and their artists are amazing
Went with friends to get noses pierced and it was amazing. We didnt have an appointment so we were lucky to get a walk in piercing. They were all very nice and helpful. Heather did the piercings and was super nice to our most anxious friend. Cant wait to go back.
Got a conch piercing done. Their piercer is great, super professional and sanitary. It is healing well and I’ve had no issues. Will definitely go back for more.
This is hands-down the best piercing experience Ive had. They have a massive selection of jewelry and all of the staff are able to make knowledgeable recommendations. Its a very clean and organized space with an inviting reception area.
Very professional and personal. I went in to get a touch up on my tattoo that did not turn out right from a previous place and Metamorphosis did absolutely amazing. You can tell that the artists are truly passionate about their work and provided me with the best experience. My artist walked me through his process step by step before he started and gave me complete assurance as to what he was going to do. I highly recommend this place and look forward to coming in regularly.
Paige was very helpful! Highly recommend this shop!
Heather is a beast! Absolutely amazing at what she does. Friendly, able to joke around, but still straight to the point. I wish I had went to her for my other piercings!
Had my nose pierced by Heather and she was super pleasant and professional. The piercing barely hurt and I have had no pain since really most likely due to how good she is and also the aftercare directions she gave me. I would 100 % go back to her.
Heather was super nice and pierced my nose so quick and easy. I’m very pleased with the service I was provided and the aesthetic of the shop. 10/10 recommend.
I got my septum and my dermal pierced by two separate piercers on two separate nights, and both ended up being crooked. They removed my dermal for free and offered to repierce it for free, but Im not sure that I want to do that since it would either have to be placed in scar tissue or in a totally different spot. I didnt realize my septum was crooked until a few days after I got my dermal removed when I changed the jewelry. I ended up just taking it out since Im not sure that I trust them to do it again. Now Im out $140 (the cost of jewelry and both piercings), and I dont have either of the piercings that I wanted. For such a highly rated piercing/tattoo studio, I expected more.
I went in today to get my nose re-pierced. It had only been out for half a day, but I thought for sure it was closed up. They were so kind and instead of charging me to pierce it again, they just re-threaded it and opened the whole that had already been there and didnt even charge me for it. I will definitely be back!!!!
Everyone is always super friendly and helpful when we stop in and dont mind answering all our questions. ;-) The vibe is welcoming. You are acknowledged when you walk in, even when they are busy. They have a huge jewelry selection. Love!
An absolutely fantastic experience! Went in Sunday to get my first tattoo from Trevor, everyone was super friendly and it turned out amazing. Will definitely be back soon!
Page was awesome with my daith piercing so I decided to go back in hopes of getting more info about other piercings. The place is clean and staff are well trained. I will continue to use them for future services.
I stopped here on a whim while in town because I heard they have an amazing selection of high quality jewelry and was blown away by the selections they offered. The lovely people that helped me and took time to talk to me and answer my questions were greatly appreciated. I purchase some gorgeous ends for my high nostrils and amazing Maya earrings. I live almost 2 hours away but will most definitely be back for my jewelry needs!
Didnt even get pierced there, but was worried about how it was healing, went in and got great advice. Will definitely be going there for my next tattoo
I got a navel piercing and they were so nice, clean, professional and very patient with me who was freaking out a little! Would recommend!
This is the absolute best place to have tattoo work done.. excellence!!! The staff there are truely amazing people...
I got my first tattoo done here about two years ago - it was all color without black outline, blues and greens with a little yellow. Trevor did an amazing job. He came up with a beautiful design that was better than I had even imagined for the tattoo. It healed perfectly and the color has stayed really pigmented and hasn’t faded or bled through at all over the past two years. I’m super happy with it and will probably go back to him in the future even though I’ve moved away from the area. Staff is friendly and helpful, shop is very clean.
