Synthia just did a double nose piercing for me and I am amazed at how amazing the experience was! Very clean and professional but more importantly, very educational and walked me through every step. Thoroughly satisfied with my experience 💛

Clean and comfortable!! Synthia was so professional. It was a welcoming and comfortable environment. She walked us through the process from beginning to end communicating the whole time. The experience was exemplary considering I was a scardy cat. She sanitized everything and I mean everything. Im so happy we found this place.

I cant remember the gentlemans name. He was gentle and understanding. A gentle giant Im calling him.

Came here for a rook piercing about a month ago. Its healing well and I felt well informed. Syn did it and I would most definitely be back for more when in the area. The rook was super quick and experienced less pain than expected. Prices were really good too in my opinion. Thank you Mystic Koi!

Synthia is by far the best piercer and tattoo artist Ive been to and will only go to her from now on. Her customer service is amazing and she always walks you through the entire process which I found helps me feel less nervous. I couldnt recommend her enough

I had the industrial piercing that Id been wanting for years done here and the experience was amazing. I was nervous going in because it had been a while from my last piercing, but Synthia talked through the process with great care and knowledge. She explained in detail the care and healing process and made sure I understood what I needed to do before I left the shop. I experienced very little pain during the procedure and the cost was less than I expected. I will be returning for more piercings in the future.

Went in for tattoo removal and was quoted a price over the phone I get there and the price is $20 dollars more.The guy tells me it will take about two sessions to remove my small tattoo the size of a quarter then when I’m filling out my paperwork it turns into five or even maybe even six sessions.I got too get the tattoo removed and the guy turns on the laser and starts to run it across my tattoo for like 8 seconds at most and says you’re all done lol and i didn’t feel a thing,the machine wasn’t even on and the guy tried to scam me out of my money.I call and talk to the owner and he says he will get back with me and never does.This place is a joke and they are thief’s don’t use them.I have 500k followers on Instagram and I’ll be making a post this weekend for everyone to make a one star review on this place and literally no one will come here anymore.

I have been going to Mystic Koi for over a year. Ive got a half sleeve that is almost complete. Chris is my artist and he dies amazing work. Super clean lines. He is very creative. I gave him a few random ideas I had in mind and he ran with it. I never envisioned something so beautiful. All the artists are super professional while being friendly. I highly recommend checking them out for your next tattoo or piercing. I also brought my daughter for her first tattoo, as I knew the whole experience would be great for a first time.

My eyebrow hurts! But I paid for it best place for a piercing. Synthia was like a mix between a tattoo artist (persision) and a doctor (cleanliness). Might take my 4 yr old to get her ears done. Reasonably priced!

Very nice staff and very informative! I like place as well. I got my nose pierced in same spot and it was quick! Thank you Ms S!

The customer service is godlike. They are very informative about tattoos and how to take care of it. Devin was my artist and he was not only very wise and kind, he was hilarious and made getting your first tattoo fun.Edit: They have Lysol in the bathrooms. How clean can you get?

Synthia was great! I received a piercing from her today and she was informative, professional and quick. I’ll most definitely go back for future piercings!

Came here while visiting in Florida, was ok at first but my jewelry has done nothing but bothered me. I had my Daith previously pierced somewhere else and was just changing out the jewelry. The jewelry seems really cheap.

Felt push away . Came to shop to schedule an appointment with an artist about work being done on my forearm, I felt rush and push out of the shop . He had every excuse on why they only set appointments through Facebook page and how I need to look on the page first to pick out an artist ??😒 which is kind of understandable but then I said well give me a sec I can look right now and he stopped me and said WELL YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IT THIS VERY SECOND 😒. Keep i mind I haven’t even shown the work I want d to have done yet . Then I ask well can you look at what I wanted maybe it’s something you can do . He glanced at it not really paying attention to the picture and start making all kinds of talk what needs to be done . Really felt as though he was just trying talk me out the shop . Then I ask, well ok what would be the price for the work to be done and he gave me quoted of 1000 for a forearm tattoo. I’ve been to several shops in riverside and 5points and all the quotes was 400 or less .. the only reason I have sat with other artists is because there to book ..

I come here for all my piercings, and I have more than i can count. I can guarantee that all of the equipment and jewelry used are straight from the package and sterilized. I am not disclosing the name of the piercer for safety reasons, among others, but they are always incredibly kind and talk their way through the steps. The piercings are precise and quickly done with minimal pain inflicted. I definitely recommend these artists and would give them 100 Stars if I could. And as always, remember to tip your piercer and tattoo artists.

Friendly staff. Very helpful and informative. Great selection of jewelry. Clean very professional.

Synthia was awesome🐘💜. Shop is clean💜 Will be returning as long as @Synthia Roy is there💜🐘🐘🐘

5 stars for Chris Ivey! He does a great job, Ive done 2 sessions with him and Im glad Ive found an artist Im comfortable with. I plan to keep coming to him until we finish all the work Im wanting done.

Synthia was amazing!! Super professional and could tell she was very well educated on piercings as well as after care regarding piercings. 10/10 recommended !!

Synthia pierced my hood for me and she was very professional, comforting, knowledgeable and has 27 years under her belt. If you need a good experience go to her hands down the BEST!!!

Synthia Roy was very professional I was nervous about getting my Tangus pierced but she told me I would be fine and I did not even feel a thing. I will be sending customers her way, and I definitely will be going back to her👍🏽 up to Synthia. Not to mention how clean the business is.

Best experience with a piercer i have ever had! Nose has healed great with little to no pain

Devin youre the man.... hands down!

Im a huge fan of this place! Theyre super nice, super professional. Everything is super clean. I came in for a piercing. I highly recommend Ms. Synthia Roy. Explained the whole process, and very good at what she does. 10/10 coming back for the rest of my piercings. Prices are great too!

After going to another shop for a body piercing that was done wrong and my body healed over some of the jewelry, they helped remove the piece. The scaring is so minimal. Once Im ready to get pierced again, I will be headed to Mystic Koi.

Synthia is absolutely amazing. My girlfriend and I needed to find a piercer we trust and WOWZA, we found her! If you want to get pierced by the best, look no further. Synthia is the piercing queen. Also let’s not forget to mention the fact this shop is extremely LGBTQ+ friendly, owned & operated. Thank you so much, we will be back very soon!

I highly recommend seeing Synthia for your piercing needs. She is very professional. Will see only her for all my future piercings.

I called and made an appointment with Chris for a tattoo and Terry for a nose piercing. The parlor was clean and I felt safe as far as COVID stuff goes.Chris did a killer tattoo and was super professional about it, definitely good work on a traditional piece. He was very careful and I’m super happy with how it came out.Terry pierced my nose right after and was extremely patient with me being twitchy. It was a completely clean and sterile process and I could tell he’s an expert. Both employees gave me great aftercare instructions and went above and beyond for me today. Both employees were really chill and made me feel comfortable. I’m definitely glad this shop is here in Murray Hill!

I have gotten all of my 13 piercings there and i am really confortable getting them there. I highly recommend them. I wouldnt get my piercings done any where else

A friend and I were wanting to get some ear piercings. She had been here before to get help with a piercing she got at another shop and was having issues with. She was so impressed with Synthia that she wanted us to go to Mystic Koi to get our piercings. I can see why. Synthia was fantastic and told us everything that was going to happen as it was being done, as well as helping to figure out placement based on what we wanted. I will definitely go back for my next piercing. Clean, professional, and quick without being hurried. Definitely happy.

I love syn! So sweet & did such a good job with my tattoo!

Synthia was great! She was very upfront about prices & procedures. She helped me make up my mind (without being forceful in any way!) about what I wanted done. Its a very clean shop & every precaution is made to keep germs at Bay. I was very impressed!!

I made an appointment to get my nose pierced and when I arrived, the piercer never introduced himself to me (older gentleman with no people skills), never spoke to me except to fill out paper work, ask what stud I wanted and then to provide aftercare procedures. I also asked about some pricing for tattoos and, instead of getting an artist to help with my questions, he just told me he didn’t do tattoos. The shop was clean but the customer service from this person left a lot to be desired and, unfortunately, left a bad impression on the shop as a whole.

If I could review in the negatives I would do that. Their prices are decent and everything seemed clean but thats about all I can give them. I got tragus and conch piercings, the man (who was not Synthia, to whom all the certificates and awards they have hanging in the shop are addressed) was oddly silent the whole time, did not show me where he was going to pierce and ended up putting the conch way farther out than I wanted. He was also abrasive and not gentle at all (eg he shoved cotton balls in my ear after two very painful piercings and I about passed out). I would not recommend him to pierce anyone I know and love.

Synthia did a fantastic job with my tattoo. Highly recommend

Very comfortable atmosphere and everyone is clearly very professional. Highly recommend Syn for tattoos and piercings!

They do excellent work ! A very nice and very clean shopAre very friendly and easy to work with.

I will most definitely be going to this establishment! The place was nice and clean. Chill environment and the prices are affordable. Syntheia did my daughter and I nose piercings. Synthetia was very patient, calm and know about what she was doing. Her top priority was our safety and thats something that I can appreciate!

Synthia is the absolute best! Get at her for your piercing and tattoo needs!

I got a tattoo here and it was amazing, I got exactly what I wanted and Chris is an amzing artist. I recommend him 1000%

I took my wife here and she didnt have any complaints

Synthia did my piercings and she did a great job! The session was right on time and she was very quick. She was so nice and made me feel comfortable even though I had never been to the shop. If I get anymore piercings I will definitely be back to Mystic Koi :).

Great people!! Always makes you feel at home. Synthia Roy is absolutely gifted. Whatever I bring her she definitely adds her own genuine artistic flair. Honored to have her work on me the many times I have been to her. I will be back again and again!

Chris Ivey is my artist. He does grade “A” fantastic work! He has an eye for detail, that many in my experience do not. Love his thick lines. Can’t wait to get it colored in. I would definitely recommend Chris to be your next tattoo guy.

Devon is amazing hes friendly and accommodating strives to make the customer happy definitely going back

I called to see if I could do a walk-in to have a jewelry change out on my nose ring and the woman I spoke to very kindly explained that I would need an appointment, however Cynthia the piercing specialist, did have openings in her schedule for that day. So I was able to schedule a time that worked perfectly in my schedule for that day. Cynthia changed out my jewelry and was very efficient, professional, and kind. They have jewelry available on site and if you buy jewelry from them they waive the $10 change out fee. This location is always clean, very well lit, and everyone is always kind and professional. I had both of my tattoos done in this location previously and their diligence in ensuring customer satisfaction goes above and beyond. I will keep going back.

I was greeted like he didnt want me in there cause of my skin color. Terry was very rude and unprofessional. If you are a minority I recommend you stay away.

I went to mystic koi for my birthday to get my septum pierced by Terry, and had a horrible experience. He was not talkative or personable at all, not to mention he did not walk me through what he was doing, while he was doing it. It made me very anxiety ridden and more anxious than I should’ve been. He also attempted to pierce through thick cartilage two times before getting it right. He’s hands were shaky and I was just happy to get through it.

Synthia was super nice and we were very comfortable with her. She was quick and informative. And were both extremely happy with our piercings! I definitely recommend this place!

Atmosphere felt like they didnt want people of color inside. Very rude and unprofessional.

Everyone there make you feel at home and educate you on the whole process. Very professional and friendly I feel like part the family right after my first meeting. I would recommend whether you are getting first tattoo or your ninetieth this place will fine what works for you and make the art what you can proud of.

Chris was awesome. He did exactly what I wanted. Would highly recommend!!!

New to Jacksonville, called to schedule an appointment to get a tattoo, got the appointment sooner than expected, Chris answered the phone was very helpful and professional, exchanged numbers for additional information and to let him know what I wanted,always replied promptly to my text messages, when I arrived for my appointment he had some drawings ready for me to choose I got two tattoos instead of one done on the same day. The parlor is COVID ready, super clean, Chris changed his gloves more than a few times, everyone wore a mask customers or no customers. Had a great experience, no pain super neat will recommend Chris and Mystic Koi.

Syn was the absolute best. Explained the entire process before we started my piercing and during. Explained the proper care and also gave a pamphlet that has clear instructions.Place was clean. Hand sanitizer as soon as you walk in. Syn sanitized everything before and after we touched it. Hand sanitizer is also in the rooms as well. Price was pretty good as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get a piercing.

Great place, very clean, and good atmosphere. All quality work, with affordable prices. Gem of a shop. Chris Ivey is a true artist.

Devon was awesome, he did a great job o. My sons first tattoo.

First time getting work done here, but not the last! The parlor is really nice, clean, and organized. The staff are really helpful with aftercare advice. Chris did my work and Im completely satisfied. I would highly recommend him. Everyone has good, chill vibes. Definitely my ne ink spot.

Love my work! My artist was amazing! Not a heavy hand at all! I will be going back for more work!

Walked in and got a tatoo an hour later....then scheduled an appointment for 2 weeks later

Oh my goodness!!! I had been trying to convince myself to get a nose piercing for over a year. After reading the excellent reviews I knew Synthia would take care of me. Synthia was AWESOME, from start to finish. I grade her a 10+ and more for hygiene steps throughout the service. Her kindness and professionalism was so welcoming. Thanks Synthia!!!!

Love everyone that works here and how clean and professional they are. Synthia is my girl when it comes to dedicated artistry. She is a perfectionist and works the needle like its her paint brush. She models her thinking as she goes to include you in the process and teach you about color and shading techniques. Did I mention clean?? So very thorough when it comes to sanitation and what to expect. The prices are beyond impressive for the quality. I refer everyone here.

Got my nipples pierced today and Im in love 😍 Thank you! Amazing customer service from Melissa at the front desk and amazing professionalism from SYN my piercer we got called in early which was awesome and she explained the whole thing as she was doing it. Amazing. Will def come back!

Devin is one of the kindest people Ive met. He makes you feel really calm and tells you stories while he does your ink. Could not recommend higher. So skilled and such a talented artist! ❤❤❤ Will be going back for years 😊

Great Job Devin

Cynthia did an excellent job on my girls piercings. She got 6 done and they look fantastic. Cynthia was very professional, has a great history of experience, steady hands, listened to our wants, discussed the procedures, gave options and asked questions about our plans for future piercings. Very good at sterilizing the equipment and area.We will absolutely return and have her finish the job after the initial piercings have healed.If you are looking for a piercer, who knows exactly what they are doing, I would suggest Cynthia be at the top of the list.

Chris did an amazing job, he knew this tattoo was sentimental and he took the time to answer any questions and concerns I had. Will be going back.

I got my helix pierced here a little over a year ago and while I felt very comfortable with the cleanliness and overall procedure I learned later on that my piercing was completely crooked. It was so bad that I couldn’t wear a stud in that hole because all that could be seen was the side of the jewelry, could’ve just been a bad day for the piercer but I will be going elsewhere to get it re-pierced now that it’s finally closed up.

I highly recommend this shop. They are professional caring and attentive. Their work speaks for itself with quality ingenuity and skill. I have had the pleasure of seeing and being under the needle of all three artist. Most recently Chris, he was very professional, took his time and was detail oriented. I love my new peice of skin art.

Got a great Tatt by a awesome artist; Devin Wilson. Great environment and staff! 👍👍

The people who work here are unreasonably friendly. I enjoy simply hanging out just to chat. I advise anyone who wants to add art to their bodies to stop by here any day.

I went in to get my tongue re-pierced on Monday February 3, 2020. Cynthia was amazing!! She was able to put the piercing in the same spot with ease and practically pain free. She explained how everything was sterile and the jewelry was new and how it was all going to go. I will definetly recommend her to anyone looking to get body piercings done!!

Synthia did my daughter’s nose piercing.Very professional! I didn’t know about the notary paperwork when booked her appointment for the inconvenience she gave us a discount without asking. My daughter said it was painless. Synthia moved very quickly and explained the entire process. Definitely would recommend her very knowledgeable!

I have a few tattoos but was always scared of getting a portrait tattoo but after seeing Devin Wilson work I took the chance and I have to say he did a kickass job

Synthia did a great job on my septum piercing! Explained the whole process and made me feel comfortable. Thank you!

Ive been going here for years for all my work from piercings to tattoo work. The shop is bright, clean, everyone is friendly, the art and artists are top notch, and everything about the experience is fantastic. I started my back piece 2 sessions ago and have another coming up. Devin took all the components I wanted and really turned out a custom, meaningful piece for me that truly tells a story. I get compliments every single time it is seen, and its not even remotely finished. I have referred many people to Mystic Koi, and I always get thanked that I did. They are an award winning shop, and it only takes one visit to see why. We will be starting on the full front piece soon, another AMAZING creation. And I couldnt be more excited.

They are amazing. Got my nose pierced from here a while back saldly due to my lack of maturity it came out but they are great. Its clean staff is so nice. I knew I was in safe hands and the man that did my piercing was gentle and didnt make me feel alarmed. Awsome experience. Definetly am going back to get my tattoo.

Cyth is great

I got my nose pierced yesterday by Syn and she was great. I was super nervous about the piercing and she made me feel really comfortable. She explained everything in detail and talked me through the entire process. (and not to mention i felt NOTHING). I DEFINITELY recommend this shop and make sure you ask for Syn (Synthia) shes the BEST at what she does. Will be back very soon!

Our whole family goes here for beautiful tattoos and clean safe piercings. Absolutely top notch team in a fun, relaxing environment.

Love love this place!! Chris Ivey is the absolute best ever!!! This is my second tattoo Ive got from him and he amazes me everytime with the quality of his work.

So it was my first time getting a belly piercing the lady name was Synthia she was super nice and very understanding know that i was a little nervous she was very very nice like i said i do recommend this place its very reasonable and clean and amazing service!!!!!

I was a walk-in but had to come back because there were people with appointments ahead of me. The place has a good vibe, clean and everyone was friendly. I saw Cynthia for my nose piercing, she was amazing, funny, witty and thorough. Clear on her explanations and very appreciative that I came back. Will go back for sure. Thank you Cynthia you are wonderful!

Great attention to detail and consideration of my request ! Thank you so much Chris for your patience and great work ! I’ll be back !

Id give 10 stars if I couldI loved everything about this place. I went in today around 2 as a walk in and Chris did me and my brothers tattoo. He will be doing my moms tomorrow. They came out amazing he spent the extra time to make sure everything was perfect. Ive never had a tattoo artist actually sit down and listen to everything I had to say. He made sure our ideas were executed while adding his own ideas on how to make it better. I genuienly love his work and would refer absolutely anyone to this guy. He truly did a great job especially on such short notice. He did my tattoo for a reasonable and logical price. Seriously you guys, go here, go to Chris!

My first time getting a nose piercing. The procedure was clean, fast and painless(to me). The person who did it(forgot her name) gave me all the information that I needed to keep it clean. Im going back to get another one.

Loved my first experience here. VERY FRIENDLY N BUDGET FRIENDLY. Clean and professional. I was a visitor and they treated me very well. My tattoo artist was a wonderful lady how had a great personality. HATS off to Paolo for my palm reading. Truly an eye opener. I will always have a great memory of this place !! Thank u all.

Great fast explanatory effective friendly service ❤️

This place is wonderful!!!! the shop is quite clean and quiet. Syn is such a dream!! I came in about 2 months ago to get my forward helix pierced and she was so patient and explained everything and what to expect. She made sure i loved the placement and even made several marks to know i was sure before she pierced my ear. We shared a few laughs before the slight pinch came and that was it!! My ear is healing wonderfully and will be coming back to get my nipple pierced by her. Thank you for being so professional and informative. 20/10!!

Syn is awesome for one always great service from her. Mystic Koi is always clean, sanitary and a welcoming environment.

Got my nose pierced here today and im really satisfied with the cleanliness and the Service. will definitely go again!

At last the.springs have a decent bathroom. It is a really nice place.

Cynthia did a great job with my niece. It was her first piercing other than her ear lobes. Cynthia explained everything to her and was very clear about the aftercare instructions. We will definitely be back.

HIGHLY(!) recommend Mystic Koi and Synthia! Looked around everywhere for a decent shop to finally get my Medusa and Nose piercings. She was so personable, explained every single step down to her adding the cleaning solution on them at the very end. The shop looked well kept, Cleaning Sprays and hand sanitizers EVERYWHERE lol All staff, (even those without any current clients with them) had masks on and Synthia changed her gloves several times and especially between doing each piercing. Going back next month for my tongue. And best of all? Their top notch, high class of professionalism is followed up with some of the best prices Ive EVER seen yall. I was floored at the affordability of these piercings 😁😀

Great people and prices. They have multiple artists to suit the style you prefer.

This place is full of very professional yet fun people. They do an amazing job at tattoos and the piercer is very knowledgeable and does an awesome job as well. Their Friday the 13th sales have a variety to pick from and they are normally packed then too. That doesnt let it ruin anything though they are even more hyped up about it then.

Went to Synthia for a sunflower thigh tatt, its been years since I got one and Synthia was very professional and told me step by step what she was going to do. I am very happy with my tatt and would recommend Synthia and Mysitc Koi ✌✌✌

I went to mystic koi to get both my cartilage pierced. I was very nervous because I’m still new to the piercing scene. Ms. Synthia Roy was my piercer, she was absolutely amazing and friendly she helped to ease my anxiety during the process and I’m very satisfied with my piercing.

Wonderful piercing experience. Very clean and professional. Sindy made the entire experience awesome for a first timer.

Cynthia did an awesome job removing a piercing in a private area. It wasnt as simple as I had hope, no fault of hers. She was confident and calming because it hurt!. Most importantly she didnt get angry went I asked her to stop twice because I needed a minute to collect myself. Thank you!

COVID UPDATED! Called ahead to make an appointment because... COVID. They are super courteous, inviting, and following ALL CDC recommendations. They even have alcohol wipes for your ID when they hand it back to you. Got my self an industrial peircing by Synthia. Again- courteous, clean, and Synthia went above and beyond. Meticulously cleaned the room, washed hands, explained the procedure, and really invested time in making sure I was comfortable. Synthia did an amazing job- the 20 years of experience shows!
