Let me just start by saying 100/10 would recommend coming here. Steeve was super nice, professional, and knowledgeable about his practice. I’ve been to quite a few tattoo/piercing shops and this was the most clean/sterile one I’ve ever seen. He explained everything that was going on throughout the whole process; the sanitizing of the instruments and jewelry, placement of my piercing, what he was doing before during and after my piercing, and answered all my questions/asked me if I had any throughout the whole appointment. Seriously, this is where you want to go for any piercing.

Had my septum pierced back in May when I lived in Roanoke. Fast, clean, not very painful as far as piercings go, and perfect position of the ring. Gave an overview of the healing process after piercing and offered canned saline to buy in store. My septum healed wonderfully. I wish SATI would move to Radford- we need a good piercer here!

As a baby in the industry I really enjoy branching out and meeting piercers. Akio was super professional, knowledgeable, and kind. I really enjoyed my experience here and can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful experience! Very patient & comforting. 10/10!

I got my septum piercing there, and the guy was really nice, he opened up just for me because I didnt have an available opening until the next week. He was super comforting, funny, and was really quick to pierce to it was pretty painless.

Absolutely loved it I was scared at first but I came over it. The guy with tattoos did a excellent job and Im proud.Its affordable.

By far the best place to go in Roanoke. Don’t go anywhere else!!!Akio was kind, knowledgeable, clean n cool, and so gentle. This is the exact energy you want when you’re going to get pierced. Great selection of jewelry and affordable prices for the quality. 100 outta 10 stars would recommend.

SATI is GREAT, very knowledgeable and made my experience comfortable and awesome. Exactly what I wanted. Highly recommended

We came in after reading a few reviews and were puzzled on the review about would not bring their child in. We have been here three times, before and after the review and never once was concerned on the decor, akio has changed some of the decor since then but regardless will continue to support them. My children are 9 and 11, Akio was very thorough and patient with them and pierced both of there lobes and explained downsizing and healing. Both healed up great and was affordable with a huge selection of jewelry!

Overall amazing experience! Great bedside manner with fantastic results & an awesome selection of jewelry. I couldnt be happier or more satisfied with my new ear piercings.

Yo my boy Akio hooked up the nose piercing 10/10 recommend going here amazing energy of the shop and owner will definitely go back

I will be coming back here quite often. Akio is not only extemely knowlegable and skilled in his craft, but he is very personable and down to earth(or up in the clouds if you feel thats a better way to word it). Hands down THE best place to go for piercing.Image shown is of the piercing we just had done(dont mind the iodine).His selection of jewelry is phenomenal, I promise youll find something you want. Give him a call today, itll be worth it!

Loved everything about my experience here!! Super nice and helpful piercer that recommended the best products! 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be returning for other piercings 🤩

My piercer, Akio, was very friendly and professional. My boyfriend recently passed unexpected and I wanted to get a piercing on our anniversary. It was a Sunday and I hasnt expected that noone would be open. Sati was able to squeeze me in and did not rush me through the process. They made sure I was happy with the jewelry and exactly where it was placed before piercing. I was very happy with my experience. I got my conch pierced which I heard could be a painful location..... Akio was so quick it actually hurt less than my second lobe piercings. Highly recommend Sati Piercing for anyone looking for a sterile environment and high quality jewelry.

The place is so clean and professional! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable on how to put anervous person at ease... will definitely go again next time Im in town...

I’ve been twice in the past two weeks and have nothing negative to say.The shop is clean and everything (jewelry, instruments etc) is thoroughly sanitized. He is really friendly and gentle as possible lol. I will definitely be back for my next round of piercings.

Visited the shop to have my nose ring changed out to a solid gold hoop. The jewelry selection is impeccable- high quality and uniquely trendy pieces that no where else in this area offers. My ring was not easy to get in and the owner was so patient, thorough, and did a wonderful job! He sterilizes everything to great length and is very professional. 100% recommend for any piercing/jewelry needs you may have!

I loved the apprentice! they were so kind to me and made me feel safe. the piercer did a good job, but the way he talked to the apprentice was uncomfortable. good piercing, bad customer service.

Ruined my old ladies nose not once but TWICE! Uneven piercing and then caused her to get an infection by placing jewelry that was too small in a piercing. Go anywhere else because this dude is wack

Pierced my helix with a awesome solid rose gold piece from Bvla last week, largest selection of Bvla I have seen in western va hands down. Sati has multiple autoclaves for when it is busy and can get you in and out pretty quickly. They are fully disposable and have years of freehand experience which is a huge plus!

I heard about Roanokes only piercing studio and I had to see for myself. They have a large jewelry collection and a VERY family friendly environment. 10/10 would recommend.

Akio puts his studio first, and it really shows. Excellent jewelry quality, very professional. My girlfriend is very happy!

Great experience! Took my daughter to get a helix piercing. Akio was very professional and beyond knowledgeable. After the piercing he took the time to explain care to both my daughter and me. While located in Downtown Roanoke don’t be worried about area. Plenty of seating and clean environment inside - well worth the wait!!

Amazing experience— went just to have my ear jewelry changed out and was able to pick from a huge selection of earrings. I had been having issues with a couple helix piercings that weren’t healing and got some great advice and insight from Akio about how to fix that. Will definitely be returning to have piercings done!

100% recommend! He was super thorough with cleanliness and of course after care instructions! I’ve been so hesitant on getting my septum pierced and even when ring size challenges appeared, he worked with me and it went so smoothly! Highly recommend.

I attended the Minneapolis tattoo arts convention and my girlfriend got a navel piercing. She picked out jewelry from industrial strength and it is immaculate! Akio freehanded the piercing with ease and barely put tension on the tissue, great bed side manner. His counter couldn’t remember pricing after properly being trained and seemed to have her personal life get in the way of her work. Also was not an apprentice and had people lie in reviews. Thanks sati!

Very great atmosphere. Great personality. Very attentive to customers wants.

Very friendly, accommodating, and exceptionally knowledgeable at his craft. My daughter got her earlobes pierced and they look amazing. Very clean and sterile. He took his time, and he talked her through each step. He even played Frozen to calm her fears :) I would highly recommend.

This place is AMAZING. Super cool atmosphere, clean and smells nice, always a wide variety of jewelry to chose from at great prices.I haven’t gone anywhere else since I’ve been to this shop. Akio is such a genuine soul and is easy so vibe with. He does an amazing job every time and is accommodating.Trust me, once you come here you won’t want to go anywhere else.

Very professional, and uses techniques to lessen the damage to the areas surrounding the piercings.Best place in Roanoke to get a piercing done!

Only studio on the Bvla map in western Virginia, found the place on Bvla’s website to purchase a planchette and my experience was amazing! Friendly staff and environment, I am glad there is finally a studio that carries Bvla in this part of Virginia!

Very clean and a lot of knowledge about piercing any part of the body! Great atmosphere and he has an awesome personality! High quality jewelry to pick from as well. Hands down best body piercing place I’ve ever been too!!!!

The collection of jewelry here is insane! I got my first piercing today, the staff were very patient with me and were able to answer all my questions.

This is a serious shop! This is not a piercing pagoda. This shop is super professional and well worth the money. It is a clean, well maintained shop. The location is a little seedy but it still gets five stars. I will never go to a tattoo shop again for my piercing needs and i highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a professional, with certificates and years of experience.

I am very pleased with my experience here getting my daughter pierced. Piercer was very kind, knowledgeable, and professional. He was also able to get us right in after Aslymun turned us away upon telling us to come as a walk in and we drive an hour only to be turned away. Place is clean and piercer used filtered water to sanitize with. Highly recommend!

Honestly I’m not one to leave bad reviews but I want to look out for future clients. The piercer gave me a crooked piercing and I felt super rushed the whole time. You don’t have to listen to this review but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Very clean and professional. Also very knowledgeable

I have written maybe three reviews ever. Each was for a best or worst experience of my life. This is a result of the latter.I was looking for a new shop because the one I had been going to closed. I originally wanted to go to Asylum but this was an impulsive urge and they had a really long wait time. I saw the great reviews online for Sati Piercing and, because this shop was exclusively for piercing, figured it would be at least ok. I scheduled an appointment online and was on my way. The ‘bad’ started before I even walked in the door. Three minutes before my appointment time, I got a notification that it had been rescheduled 15 minutes later. I was almost there so thought I would just wait in the lobby. As I was walking up to the shop, there was a guy sitting outside smoking who said, “go in and she’ll get the paperwork started“.Side note: I was told the stud I got from Sati was high quality. That alone justifies the one star I am giving. It was threadless. When I got it removed, the other piercer suspected it was titanium. That is the extent of my positive feedback.It has potential to be a really nice-appearing shop but as of 6/18, it was just messy and chaotic. There was trash on the counter, boxes everywhere, and the girl that was going to “get the paperwork started” looked like she was in pajamas. She wasn’t very welcoming which isn’t required, I guess. Looking back, I should’ve turned around then. Giving the benefit of the doubt, I thought maybe it was all because the shop was fairly new. Again, the reviews online were good.Turns out, the guy that pushed my appointment for what I can only assume was a smoke break, is the owner and piercer, Sati. First impressions? That surprised me me quite a bit for reasons I won’t get into. Despite having 15 extra minutes to prepare for what looked like the only customer (me), it still took another 20 minutes to get his stuff together.I told him I wanted two piercings, conch and tragus. He marked the place for the conch but pierced in a significantly different spot. He pierced the very edge of the antihelix and pushed thru straight back instead of straight through. I will say, the actual piercings weren’t painful at all. Running the jewelry through each was a completely different story. He was so aggressive with it trying to get the backs on that I was physically clenched everywhere. I am not a stranger to piercings. I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what it’s supposed to feel like and how painful it supposed to be. Multiply that times 100 and we might be close what I experienced that day.Because I’m not the expert and continued to try to give benefit of the doubt, I had another piercer evaluate the “conch”. She didn’t trash-talk. She didn’t even say that the piercing was incorrect. She politely told me she would have done it differently based on what I described. I second-guessed my “idea” of how much pain to expect so was a little hesitant to re-pierce. Maybe I was wrong in thinking it shouldn’t have been as painful as it was…?I did have them remove the existing piercing. It was still really sore, after almost a month, because the bar was apparently too short for the angle of the hole. I went with my gut and and got it fixed with double conch piercings. The experience with my new piercer was great. I was impressed by her patience with my post-piercing drama, and by how gentle she was taking the existing piercing out. The piercings themselves hurt a little because the area was already sensitive. The difference was when she ran the jewelry through. I was expecting pain that never came. What did come was my validation on how horrible the other experience was.Impulsivity often gets one into trouble with tattoos and piercings. I want what I want when I want it. I kind of brought the situation on myself. Maybe the trauma from Sati was a one-off, but I don’t think so. I won’t take that chance to find out. I will be going to Asylum from here forward. That many actual good reviews for Sati? No chance!

From the moment I reached out and contacted Sati I knew that I would be giving my business to them. They went ABOVE and beyond because they truly care about their business and clients and love what they do. I was traveling the US and when I got to Roanoke VA I had the itch for a new piercing and I chose my septum. What won me over was the consistency and level of care they showed in out facebook conversations from choosing the best jewelry and allowing me first dibs on jewelry that was ordered but not yet released for public viewing. The shop was clean, and the experience was great. I had minimal swelling and It healed flawlessly. 10/10 recommended them for all of your body piercing needs

I heard about this shop from my friend in Minneapolis and I decided to check them out myself. They have 10/10 quality service and have a variety of jewelry choices that are good for people with sensitivities.

I found Sati by reading all the great reviews online and wanting to support local businesses, especially a new business in town.Akio was wonderful! He was extremely professional and took the time to have a full consult with me prior to my appointment as I had some questions about previous piercings that I have. I decided to go a different route and get the piercings we consulted about instead of what I came for. He was completely accommodating to me about everything and walked me through the process before we started. All of his prices are listed so I knew what I would be paying prior to having the piercings done. The shop was extremely clean despite the fact that he had some recent renovations going on before I got there. He had his mask on before I ever even entered the shop and kept everything clean and sterile. He had a lot of jewelry to select from so you don’t end up with the basic piercing jewelry if you don’t want it.Akio made me feel so comfortable by chatting with me throughout the entire appointment. He was very gentle and was great about letting me know what feelings to expect before he did anything.I made another appointment with him to come in today as the swelling on my piercings were a little worse than we both anticipated. He made sure that he checked everything and changed out my toppers to accommodate the swelling. We went back over full aftercare since the piercings I got take longer to heal. He’s very quick to respond and get you an appointment. The shop is very tasteful and the wall art is great! I would recommend Sati to all my friends! Also.....there is parking across the street!I cannot wait to go back and get more things done at Sati!

I saw all the nearly perfect reviews for Sati’s and gave it a try. I really wanted to like to because I try to support small local businesses. I was not impressed at all. The shop was disorganized, the owner was unprofessional from the start. I called (during open hours) and he didn’t even say “Sati’s”. He pretty much told me he was at home getting food and that he’d be back soon. It was just...odd, to say the least. So I chalked it up to being a new business and ignored it. Well when I got there 20 minutes later, the doors were locked. Parking was nonexistent. It was frustrating. After waiting awhile for him to get there, I gave him a few minutes then headed in. I did paperwork then picked out jewelry. He didn’t explain prices or anything. I wish he had because I wouldn’t have gotten my lip pierced there if I knew how much it’d cost. Anyway, I waited for him to get everything ready while I noticed the uncomfortable wall decor. (One of the reviews mentioned brining a daughter there to get ears pierced...I would NEVER bring my kids there due to the atmosphere there being so adult and not professional)The piercing process itself was quick and easy and as painless as could be so that was decent.Paid over $70 (without him explaining the charges whatsoever) and that was the end of that. Will not recommend and will not go back.

Very well sterile place, very kind people. My Septum healed beautifully 🙏

Really good quality jewelry and Akio is really good quality piercer. I wont go anywhere else. Honestly his shop is the cleanest and most professional shop I have ever been to. He also has very reasonable piercing fees.

Amazing and professional staff. Very friendly and clean!

Very very nice I love it! Yay so glad I went there the best piercing experience I have ever had💚💖

Did a great septum! Thank you so much :)

Great experience he talked me through the whole thing and it went smoothly. Was a little surprised to spend $90 instead of around $50 as suggested online, but overall amazing experience! Would definitely return for the other piercings I want and recommend to friends, family, and strangers!!

The studio is very clean, inviting, and family friendly and the jewelry is beautiful

I went for my 16th birthday to get a septum piercing, the building was clean and very welcoming environment. Akoi was very professional and kind and explained the whole process throughly. The peircing turned out amazing and i would 100% go back and 100% recommend to anyone looking for a place to get something done. 5/5 stars with no question

Finally Roanoke has a studio that focuses on piercings! Sati has great jewelry and the piercer is knowledgeable and friendly. I won’t be going anywhere else anymore.

Can not recommend this place more. Dont let the neighborhood fool you; he does high quality work, is friendly, and is also accommodating. Not to mention, he has by far the largest selection of fine jewelery in the area. Oh, and the price is very reasonable, especially if you get pierced during a sale.

Super clean!!!!!(They sterilize everything as you come in and use sterile gloves).Got my second lobes pierced the other day after making an appointment and everything was under 30 mins, I highly recommended making an appointment as there app they use is super user friendly and do not have to sit on the phone.Huge jewelry selection and options if you are on a budget plus gold jewelry if you want to treat yourself!They are fast and paperwork is all electronic and they wipe everything down.

Loved my experience here!! Very professional and clean, cant wait to come back!!

I came to Akio requesting help. I had positive antibody testing for metal allergies and require spinal surgery for a lumbar fusion soon. Akio took the time to assist by finding medical implant grade ear rings, stretching my ear piercings, and after worn for one to two weeks he took additional time taking photographs for my doctors who requested them. And finally Akio wrote a detailed letter outlining the specific metals used with their components and his professional opinion as to his observations. His detailed letter provided much needed information and was helpful for my allergist halting surgery which would have caused more harm than good. He was very instrumental in assisting my physicians to confirm what they suspected. I would recommend him to anyone for Piercings and stretching. He was professional and very clean taking every precaution not to cause unnecessary pain or to prevent any infection. His care and professionalism was unprecedented and he went out of his way writing a very professional letter to my physicians which was well accepted by them guiding and helping them.

Amazing service and such a nice person 10/10 would recommend

Ordered some new jewelry for my medusa. Akio helped me select the correct size by looking at pictures. I am really impressed with the quality of this jewelry and it fits perfectly!

Good piercings and the apprentice was nice, but the customer service was subpar and he was rude to his apprentice which was very off putting

Akio was so nice and very professional! I love my nose piercing. It’s only been a few days and it feels great. If you are looking for a good piercing in the Roanoke valley, visit here!

Very knowledgeable and good at what he does. Will definitely be going back!

I walked in to get a rook jewelry change with a cheap-o piece of jewelry, he was honest and professional, will be going to him for nicer quality jewelry when I’ve got the money.

Akio did an awesome job with my septum. I have had my nose broken several times and it is a bit deviated. The piercing came out straight and looks killer. He is very knowledgeable and has a great jewelry selection. Definitely recommend this place.

Piercing shop that’s newly established in Roanoke area as of Spring 2020. The owner has years of experience and takes piercing really seriously and responsibly.The jewelry is really high quality.Super happy with the knowledgeableness and cleanliness of this piercer.

Tried getting pierced but they wouldn’t let my brother back there for a quick piercing

Very professional and sanitary. Great selection of jewelry as well.

Recently I went in for a piercing! The piercer was very professional & thorough with what he was doing. The shop was also very clean . I would highly recommend this shop to others ! ☺️

Quite sterile (cleans more than once) and good pricing. Proper certification as well.

Very clean and thorough! A bit pricey but overall he did an amazing job on my nose piercing!

Really appreciated the clean and kind environment. Definitely a wonderful and fun experience.

Receptionist was nice but the piercers customer service was trash walked out with out purchasing any jewelry.

Professional and clean, recommended!

Akio is very professional and dedicated to the highest quality work. Such a great place!

Ok well let me start out with I’m 29 never had tattoos or any other piercings other than my ears when I was a child so first of he was on time then cleaned up the area really good for 10 mins before taking me back he explained the procedure gave me advice on best jewelry for a beginner vch piercing he even allowed me to play my own music so I felt comfortable he told me step by step what he was doing as he was doing it process took maybe 15 mins but long story short he made it a informative process very professional and I’m above amazed at how it came out I love love it and would recommend him to anyone!!!! Ty
