I visited PMA Piercing for the first time today and had a fantastic experience. The shop itself is extremely clean and has a great vibe. The receptionist was super friendly and professional. She provided great customer service. And most importantly, I couldnt have been more pleased with my piercer, Gregory. He took the time to discuss with me at length the piercings I was interested in getting. He also helped me pick out the jewelry I was interested in and explained what each item was made of and where it came from. Before my piercing, we discussed at length the ins and outs of after care, which is something I appreciate. I ended up having him pierce my lobes (my second holes in my lobes) and also changing out the jewelry of my daith piercing. I love it all so much. I will be back in a few months for more ear piercings and a nose piercing. Im 110% happy with my experience.

Wasted Youth and PMA Piercing was awesome! The most professional tattoo and piercing shop I have ever been to. The shop looked and smelled cleaner than my doctors office. I felt I was in very capable hands and Gregory walked me through every step of the process. He also went into great detail on how to care for my piercings afterwards and was very thorough. He gave me time to ask questions and I was very impressed with how he took his time completing each step meticulously.He has a very calming presence and helped me to use a deep breathing technique to keep me positive.I have new faith that there really are good piercers out there and I may even try a more complicated piercing the next time! Thank you Gregory!When I checked out, they even put treats for me in my bag. Super great place and thoughtful.

I just got my earlobes pierced here, and it turned out amazing! They were my first ever piercings and Greg was very easy to work with. He informed me thoroughly of the aftercare procedures. I love how the piercings turned out and Greg made sure I was calm before I was pierced. This made the experience a lot easier to handle than I had initially expected! The COVID precautions were also top notch and I felt very safe getting my piercings in such a clean environment! All in all, I would come here again, even if it is just to buy new jewelry for my piercings!

Absolutely amazing! Super clean facility. Staff, Brittany and Chloe (?), were super helpful and piercer, Greg, talked me though the process, answered all of my silly questions and made sure to give me a lot of useful info! I will definitely be returning and have already recommended them to a friend.

Not only would I recommend this place for yourself, but for your kid as well. My teenager and I have gotten pierced twice here together. As a healthcare professional, I am very mindful of cleanliness and sterile technique. PMA piercing gets 2 thumbs up from me. It’s a professional, yet chill and welcoming environment as soon as you walk in. Gregory has a wealth of experience and knowledge, we appreciated learning from him. He took the time to assess, then explain why my daughter’s belly button isn’t meant (at this time) for piercing. Complete with pictures and step by step explanation. I mean, what more can you ask for? We left with two new piercings and a great memory. We’re PMA customers for life, can’t imagine going anywhere else (and we’ve tried other places nearby first - don’t compare).

Everything was amazing! Not only were they very clean but Greg was so amazing! He explained everything in detail and answered all of my questions I was pretty nervous about the piercing and he explained everything as he was doing it and helped me stay calm. Then after they gave me a little bag with candy and stickers and some super cool business cards! You can tell these guys actually care about their customers!!

Wont be returning ever! Went to get a new stud in a already pierced nose for my daughter. It was pretty much the same price as the original piercing and twice the pain. Got home and her whole little nostril is bruised! The original piercing didnt even do that and this isnt the first time she has had it changed. They may as well made us shower before sitting, a bit extreme Id say. Oh and dont think of bringing in your purse that is not acceptable. If you are looking for a gentle touch or reasonable price this isnt the place for you. Maybe they should stick with tattoos 🤔

So glad that I chose this spot for my nose piercing! I went here a few months ago and was pierced by Greg. The place was very clean, and staff took extra precautions for COVID. Greg was extremely thorough in his instructions for aftercare, and very professional! Couldn’t be happier, I’ve recommended to a few friends already :)

My visit was great! I arrived planning on getting my daith piercing, as Greg then informed me that my daith piercing would cause me more pain than not. His overall service, especially honesty was incredible! The studio was extremely clean and I felt welcomed the whole time while being inside. I ended up leaving with a rook piercing instead and I haven’t had an issues since. I definitely recommend PMA!!

First, let me start off by saying the precautions the shop is taking due to Covid is next level. The place was immaculate, like I could eat off the floor. Temperature check and had to wash my hands upon entering. Only one person at a time to limit capacity. I felt extremely safe and comfortable.I had an appointment for a jewelry change. Gregory was very thorough, friendly, and helpful. The shop has a huge selection of high quality jewelry. You get what you pay for. PMA doesn’t skimp on quality.

I lost my nose ring at a party on a Sunday and called here to buy a new one. The mall was cloning in ten minutes and this shop was still open. No, I didn’t get pierced here but had a fresh piercing still in the healing stage. All I wanted to do was purchase a nose ring and this shop turned down a material only purchase forcing me to go to Walmart. I hate going to Walmart, and would always rather shop a local business. I’m disappointed in the way this was handled and would not recommend shopping here.

Went to get my septum pierced here and was impressed by the care they were taking for Covid-19, sanitizing everything, making sure what we bring in is sanitized. Showed me that they sanitized the needle and the jewelry. Talked through the entire procedure and THOROUGH with cleaning process. Wouldnt pierce me until I was 100% certain with the cleaning process post-piercing. Made it as painless as possible and Im really happy with it.

I wanted to get my nose pierced and Greg was really nice about how it was not a good idea because of future complications and we went for a tragus piercing instead. He was amazing throughout the whole process and outstandingly clean. I felt very comfortable around him and in the shop as well. I will be going there from now on for future piercings and HIGHLY recommend to anyone and everyone !

Review №24

Very disappointed with how we were treated and my daughter was in tears when we left this shop. We chose PMA because it had many good reviews but we learned our lesson that reviews do not always tell the truth. I would highly recommend calling around and due some extensive research before you go to this place for a piercing. Unfriendly service and deceitful practices. We felt extremely uncomfortable and it was very clear they do not care about their clients and making them feel stress free when getting a piercing done. I am just trying to save anyone thinking of going here the time and money before you go in this place. Be sure to ask EVERY detail about after care because they wont tell you upfront and if you decide the after care is not something you can do you get charged anyway. We had other issues but this one is the most important one for this review. Just trying to help prevent other people from getting screwed and experiencing what we experienced for my daughters first piercing in a piercing shop.

Our experience was AWESOME! My 13yr old got a Helix piercing. Greg was amazing, he was so patient and understanding with all of our questions and her nerves. He spent a LOT of time going over what to expect and aftercare. He also gave her plenty of time to get over her nervousness. The actual piercing was done in seconds and she didn’t even whimper or shedd a tear! She says it felt warm at first and now an hour later it feels Spicy lol She is sooo happy. Thank you so much!!

Review №28

My 16 year old daughter booked an appointment to get her nose pierced, and I cannot begin to describe how pleased we were with the entire experience. First of all, the place is spotless! The overall cleanliness and Covid protocols they have put in place are above and beyond any doctors office that I have stepped foot in. Gregory is highly professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. We are so thankful for his honesty about the aftercare, as well as his understanding when we decided not to go forward with the nose piercing due to my daughters athletic and aquatic lifestyle. Going forward with it at this point in her life could have put her in a really tough situation. The good news is that she didn’t leave without a piercing! I also consulted with Gregory about the horrible ear piercing she got at a mall boutique store when she was little. I’ve regretted making that choice for many years, but Gregory was able to do new ear piercings for her and they turned out beautiful! It was a win for us all! My daughter is already planning on getting a second earlobe piercing with Gregory next year, and I might just get mine done too! Also, his assistant who checked us in and out (I’m sorry- I didn’t catch her name), was so sweet and kind.

Took my daughter to get a helix and a snug piercing. He said her ear was not right for the snug piercing. Im grateful for the honesty. Im sure other places would have just done it.. She ended up getting 2 helix piercings. Greg was amazing. Explained everything in great detail. This place is more covid friendly then a doctors office. Yes its more expensive but its worth it. The front staff was very friendly and awsome too.. Just an awsome place. I would definitely go back.. Thank you guys everything

I got my first piercing here, then went on and got the rest here. They are very professional and friendly. Everything is so clean it feels like I’m at a doctors office. They sit down and make sure they answer all your questions and don’t blow you off like other shops. I’ve tried going into other shops and I would just end up walking out because PMA set the bar so high! You get what you pay for and this place is a prime example of that. I’d recommend this place to anyone !

Got my nostril pierced here during COVID-19 regulations. I cannot praise this shop highly enough on their cleanliness, hospitality, and service. Every detail felt accounted for and I wasnt nervous for even a minute. Greg is a great piercing artist and gave me so many opportunities to ask questions if I was unsure of anything. He really made me feel comfortable through the whole experience. The piercing itself was quick and painless. They also have beautiful jewelry. Lots of it is 14-18k gold, so it can be a little expensive, but understandably so. The piece I picked is something I will be happily wearing for a long time and will stay beautiful forever.

Review №34

Nothing but the best. Extremely professional and sanitary. Take time to ensure that you understand everything from the piercing itself through aftercare. Been going to Greg for over a decade and will never go anywhere else. While you could find cheaper options, the quality you get from PMA is unparalleled and worth the extra cost. Greg does an amazing job at walking you through the piercing, telling you when to breathe. Virtually painless for two cartilage piercings I got (daith and tragus) because of his expertise.

CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN!!! When you are getting needles forced into your skin It is critical to make sure you are in a clean environment. They make everything extremely sanitized and sparkly clean before you are worked on and I appreciate that so much. I got a tattoo from Dave and it is very beautiful. I also got a few piercings here when I was in high school and everything has healed great. I am so pleased with this shop, I recommend everybody to go here. Thank you wasted youth.

They allowed someone to use my credit even though im sure they ask for a ID and no way it matched, when I called the girl who sounded young pretend not to hear and hung up, will see what they say to my bankResponse: It is YOUR job to check the credit card and ID that they match, this was done and overlooked or not done at all, thank goodness I get alerts from my bank when used. You heard me enough to keep answering the questions on the phone, nice try, im starting to believe this was a friend of someone who worked there, since youre not taking it very seriously

I have been wanting to get my nape pierced for years, (like 10) but my nerves have always gotten the best of me. Well, a few weeks ago I decided that I really wanted to get it done, and I started researching piercing shops in the area. I am so happy that I discovered Greg and PMA piercing/ Wasted Youth in Romeoville because of his stellar reviews online and I checked out his bio on their website. Made the appointment and last night I finally got my piercing. I cannot give enough stars and recommend Greg enough! The shop is super clean, Greg is very informative and genuinely cares for his craft and his clients; he even scheduled a follow up appointment to guide me through my healing process.Thank you again Greg and the staff at PMA🤟🏻

Review №53

In my opinion, this shop is super overpriced for what it is. I was charged $90 for a rook piercing...Im no professional, but Im pretty sure the jewelry I was pierced with is way too small which didnt allow room for swelling causing my piercing not to heal correctly. Not to mention, the piercing wasnt done quickly and he applied a lot of force when doing it, hurting way more than it should have. They were also about to charge my friend almost $200 just to get her doubles pierced when she went to a local shop and was ONLY charged $25. Receptionist was nice, but piercer made me feel super uncomfortable. Wouldnt recommend coming here.

This place is awesome! I went in for a tongue piercing but after examining my tongue Gregory turned me down because of the way my veins were (the only way to pierce it without hitting one would be to do it at an angle which is no bueno). While I was disappointed I wouldn’t be able to get a tongue piercing I really appreciated his honesty. I asked if I could get an ear piercing and he suggested a conch. He helped me pick out jewelry and then Rachel went over the aftercare with me, it was all very detailed. Gregory did all the sanitation in front of me and made sure I knew what was going on each step of the way. During the actual piercing he was super chill and made sure I stayed calm. He also noticed my helix piercing needed it’s post downsized and I was able to schedule that. Overall a great experience, everything was super professional, 10/10 would recommend.

Review №64

Overpriced for experience. No way someone with limited skill should charge $150 an hour for work. $100 is pushing it for basic lines and limited creativity.Shops clean but its all about skill level. I wont mention the new guys name but charge what your level is not what someone with 20years experience is charging.I dont have any piercings so I cant speak on that but with over 100 hours of ink, I feel I know a little about skill level and cost.My daughter got a Very basic tattoo for over $200 that shouldve been $100 or less.Not impressed with your shop at all.

Review №66

I got my nose repierced here after my first one got infected from a cheaper place. Comparing to the piercer I went to before for a cheaper price, I will truly say that for the price that PMA is offering, you will see a difference. To begin with, there’s a nice waiting room, the area where you get the piercing is very clean. As well, prior to getting pierced, I was shown how sterile everything is with the help of a test, as well as they sterilized everything before me. In the span of the sterilization, I was given and told about the after care procedures to take account for, as well as being rest assured of any worries that I had for the piercing. The whole piercing process went very nicely, and much much much more cleaner and sterile than where I went the first time. As well, I was able to choose the jewelry and it was seen to see if it would be a good fit. Overall, definitely recommend coming here for getting pierced and worth the price.One thing I would say is if I was shown the placement of the where the piercing was going to be prior to actually piercing it. (I’m happy with the placement so it’s fine lol.)

Fantastic service! I went to get my septum pierced with no appointment, and Brandon had 2 piercings to perform when I arrived, but stayed long after closing to pierce me (wed come from out of town). The place was clean, relaxed, and the staff was super friendly and chill. Parks & Recreation was playing in the waiting area, which I wasnt mad about either, ha! Brandon was extremely knowledgeable about piercing, and thoroughly explained the process to me before doing anything so that Id feel totally comfortable and there wouldnt be any surprises. There was also a large selection of jewelry, and I was able to get what I had envisioned. Highly recommend this place. I wouldnt go anywhere else for a piercing!

Was charged 100$ for a nose piercing. 45$ for the job and 55$ for the cheap stud. I ended up going to a place in oak park to get 5 more and they charged me 100$ for all of them. This place is clean, but the wait time and price is simply not worth it. I feel ripped off.Edit:Got around to looking up similar titanium nose studs made in the US. The sets go for as low as few dollars each. At most $20, and thats with shipping. You guys did not allow me to use my own piercing either. Your piercing cost $35 and once I agreed you slapped on an extra $15 for the backing. Please stop pretending that you piercings are valuable. I could get a gold stud for the same price or even less.

After having to remove me all my piercings for an MRI, I quickly discovered that my nipple piercings had closed. A friend of mine was going in for a consultation for a tattoo and decided he was going to get his nipple pierced so decided to get mine redone. From the moment we walked in I could tell this was a very different place that where I’d gone before. We were given a very detailed release and after care instructions. After we were done Gregory took a look at the area and made sure there wasn’t too much scar tissue (there wasn’t). We picked out jewelry and while we it was being sterilized (which was done on front of us). Rachael (who is AWESOME) gave us very detailed after care instructions. After she was done I realized just how BAD the prior place I’d gone to before as far as after care. After we were all ready Gregory talked us through the entire process from beginning to end. My friend was VERY nervous but Rachel and Gregory made him feel very comfortable. I too was very nervous but, again Gregory talked me through the whole thing. Mine were a little tougher because of the scar tissue but when he was done I looked at the place and I was SO HAPPY! Basically the first time the were not placed well and this time Gregory got the placement perfectly. After we were done we were again told about after care and was even given an appt for a “check up”. We were also told not matter what to give them a call if we had any questions or concerns.Overall, this was a GREAT experience and I would recommend Gregory and Rachael to ANYONE that wants to get a piercing!

Didnt get my nose pierced here yet but the receptionist was awesome, she answered ALL of my weird questions and explained everything including jewelry selection for my desired look (I went with Pinterest pics in hand lol), she definitely made me feel comfortable enough to come back and get my nose piercing and my other desired ones with them. I really like the pressure seal jewelry (thats definitely not the technical term for that also lol). Id say stop in and check them out I dont feel youll be disappointed. I also didnt have a problem with the pricing for the piercing either plus you get what you pay for. Ill review again AFTER I get either of my desired piercings. ALSO JUST A HEADS UP THEY ARE A LITTLE NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK-ISH and kind of hard to locate if you arent looking. THEY ALSO WORK BY APPOINTMENT ONLY!!!!!!

I dont usually do any reviews but today I came in to this particular tattoo/piercing, I have had piercings on my right ear before but nothing professional, this place is a five star for me, Brandon did a fantastic job, I had 3 total, two were on my Tragus and one industrial all on my left ear, the angle was just right and also he is very detailed on how to take good care of your piercings afterward!! If you are a first timer on any kind of piercing dont hesitate to come to this place, Brandon will take good care of you from start to finish !

Just met with Gregory today, as of 5/25/19. Man, what a pleasant experience. Seriously, dont be intimidated. He was extremely calm and cool, he was very informative for anyone to get a piercing.. obviously he knows what hes doing. It was my first time being there, its very clean and taken care of. You wouldnt spot a dust in there! I had my lips done, and through the whole process, he WILL talk to you on whats going on, and exactly what hes doing. It was painless so say the least! Other than that, it was just awesome. Thank you!! - Chandara

Got my first tattoo and Cutis did a phenomenal job. I called the shop before visiting the shop and the person I spoke to was vey polite and accommodating. When I visited the shop for a consult, I found it to be very clean and everyone there was really cool. I met Curtis for the first time and we discussed the design I had in mind. He provided some good suggestions on placement and how much detail should go into the piece based on size. It was very useful information and I could tell right away that he was more concerned about doing a great job rather then figuring out how to charge more. I thought the price was very fair and at the end, it exceeded my expectations. Thank you Curtis. --- NOTE: If you are reading this, and you end up getting a tattoo, dont forget to tip your artist.

Since I came to Curtis at Wasted Youth for my tattoos, I wont go anywhere else. Absolutely the best work, talent, cleanliness, and friendly place. I could not be more in love with the pieces that I have received. They help you design, place, size, and create masterpieces.Hands down, best tattoo shop!

Exceptionally great award winning artists for both tattooing and piercing, plus always very personable and pleasant. The studio is cleaner then any Ive visited in the country and they take safety ultra serious. Definitely a must visit before choosing a tattoo studio and artist !

My wife and I made the decision to get our first tattoos. Great experience from beginning to end working with artist Eli Yee. He consulted with us on our ideas, gave great suggestions on the designs - we could not be happier with the final results. The shop is clean, comfortable and relaxed. Everyone at the shop was courteous and professional throughout the entire process. We 100% recommend Eli Yee if you are looking to get a tattoo.

I love this place. The staff are all awesome. My tattoos from Carli and David are both fantastic, and they worked with me really well on the artwork. This place is kinda tucked away, but its worth finding.
