I travelled 3 hours to get pierced by Jared and I found the entire experience amazing. I had my questions answered before I made the trip. ( The piercing I got not anyone can do ;) ) The whole process was smooth and professional. Jared made my experience relaxing, and helped me get through it. I even had questions a few days later and they were more then willing to answer them again. I highly recommend them!

I have been to this Area 51 twice now. Once to get my belly button pierced and my ear cuff changed. Every time I go there the staff is so sweet and very helpful. They made me feel very comfortable and were skilled. My belly button piercing was a breeze. There jewelry selection is great and high quality. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Sam has done ALL of both my daughters piercings. Shes caring, gentle and explains everything shes doing. Weve followed her wherever she goes. Definitely recommend!!

I absolutely loved the vibe at Area 51 from the moment I stepped in the door. Everyone was so friendly and professional! I had Peck for my industrial and helix piercings. He was super chill, went over everything step by step and made the entire experience simple and easy. Im 100% going back when its time for more piercing and/or tattoo therapy!

Jared at Area 51 is amazing at piercing He is a true professional and a talented artist. I can’t say enough about his service…I’m a mom taking my daughter for her first piercing for her birthday and he made both of us feel at ease . The piercing was smooth and beautifully executed! Thank you Jared!

Jared is awesome,courteous,professional,skilled,personable and very knowledgeable about his trade.10/10 recommend,if you are thinking about getting pierced (from a simple piercing to something complicated or personal) this is the man you should go to.

My first time at Area 51 for a tattoo but not my first tattoo. The place had an amazing atmosphere. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The studio was clean and organized. Jason Moore did an excellent job on my tattoo. He took my idea and made it a reality. His design and artwork were spot on. I couldn’t be happier with the end result. HIGHLY recommend Jason to anyone interested in a tattoo.

Great experience from start to finish! From the woman at the front to the piercer. They made the whole experience really easy and pleasant. The shop is extremely clean, following covid guidelines, the interior design is so fun and everyone was friendly and professional. All our questions were answered and they were very knowledgeable. The prices are phenomenal as well and well definitely be back in the future!

Got my little sisters ears pierced by Sam, and she was so sweet, went through it step by step. Made it very easy for my little sister.

I would just like to say Jared was AMAZING. Being 16 and getting my first piercing it wasn’t scary at all. Maybe at first but he was so quick and ask some questions. I love Area 51. They were willing to squeeze me in even though they don’t really do walk-in so I’m very pleased🙏😁

My daughter and I both got conch piercings from Jared - FANTASTIC. Every person at that shop is friendly and wonderful. Great vibe, great customer service - will def be back for more!

Amazing and friendly staff who have created a welcoming and inclusive environment. I wont go anywhere else for my piercing needs.

Jared at Area 51 Piercing is the very best in many ways. I will always take my friends and family to him for piercing. He is great with younger kids as he explains everything to them. He is a great educator giving clear explanation for any idea. His selection of jewelry is mind blowing.

Absolutely amazing experience. I got my first real piercing, a nose septum piercing, and the experience was great. Everyone was super nice, place was clean, great attractions and more. They were able to squeeze me in last minute (due to my impulsiveness) which I am very thankful for. Jared talked me through the whole process and made me feel very comfortable. Would absolutely come again for any future piercings. Definitely recommend.

I love Area 51, very nice decor right when you walk in... The people there were so nice and very helpful. They are more expensive then all the others i looked at, but you know you get what you pay for!.. I cant go upstairs very well, thats where they needed me to go, but with a cane and bad hips they fixed it so i didnt need to go upstairs. Thank you so much for your wisdom!!

I NEVER have a bad experience here. Their jewelry selection is much better than other places in town and the vibe is chill and happy. Plus, every single piercer is highly skilled and APP certified.

Its got a really fun, pop media museum vibe, and awesome student artists. Thanks velvet jungle!

Always awesome and helpful. Went in to troubleshoot my nostril piercing from a little over a month ago. Everyone here is always extremely knowledgeable and friendly. My partner ended up getting his ears stretched too and they were more than happy to get him in last minute.

They were AWESOME! Super nice very chill and made us feel super comfortable getting our piercings.I got my septum done and my Friend got her dahlia. Definitely coming back.

First time getting a piercing at Area 51. Let me tell you the shop is dope and you can nerd out on so much. Also the environment was super welcoming and chill. My piercer was awesome, goofy, and made me feel super comfortable during my appointment. I definitely would recommend them if you’re looking to get something pierced!

I called to make an appointment. The young lady who answered the phone said she was just covering the phones and wasnt exactly sure what the availability was, but sent a link to my cell phone to see availability online and book the appointment. Super helpful!The appointment was made for my 13-year-old, who was getting the first set of 10 gauge earlobe piercings. Happy birthday! The young lady working reception was very nice super helpful with getting the paperwork started.Kenny was our piercest. My kid was super nervous and he did a great job of making her feel comfortable. He was super personable, friendly, knowledgeable and funny.They were really busy, but did a great job of getting people through without feeling rushed.The atmosphere is great. They have all kinds of memorabilia from the 90s, like the Simpsons, Ninja turtles and family Guy.I would definitely recommend taking a trip to area 51 for at least your piercing needs.

Jared is absolutely AMAZING. I have adhd and tend to get very very anxious but Jared really helped me feel calm and always makes the whole experience amazing. They have beautiful jewelry and all the staff is great. Not to mention, while your waiting there is lots of cool stuff to look at inside. I would 100% recommend EVERYONE to get their piercings done here!!💗💗💗

Really fun atmosphere, beautiful jewelry selection and such wonderful staff. Ive got two beautiful new piercings from Samantha Houston, and also got to interact with Jared a bit. A+ studio, I was greeted immediately. Incredible bedside manner, thorough and exquisite work. Highly recommended!

Me and my family have had over 20 piercings done by kenny. he definitely makes getting a piercing 10x less scary, all the staff will help you find the coolest jewelry. I’ve been to a couple other piercing shops and would definitely pick Area 51 over them all you will always have a great experience and leave with something perfect (: thank you Kenny!!

Excellent experience with all of the staff. Very friendly, knowledgeable, kind, welcoming space. Beautiful jewelry to choose.

I recieved two ear piercings from Sam and she was great. The front staff was also wonderful and very helpful. Beautiful jewlery.

I’ve gotten 5 piercings done by Sam, and every single time was the best piercing experience I’ve ever had! Everyone at the shop is super welcoming and extremely professional. I recommend this shop to anyone getting any type of facial or body piercing !! I don’t think I’ll ever go anywhere else, they’re that good, and I’d leave 10 stars if I could !

Started planning for a tattoo in early September and was able to get a consult and the actual appointment within two months. Kyler was very easy to work with and understood my nervousness as a first timer. He explained the steps, gave me a fair, clear price for the job, and I was never left questioning anything. The design was spectacular, the space was clean and organized, the artist was friendly and engaging, asking my opinion along the way. The aftercare I was suggested worked perfectly and not even two weeks later, the skin is healed and vibrant. Well worth the money, and I intend to return many more times.

They are super kind and caring and willing to help a nervous teddy 🐻

My septum piercing wasn’t properly placed, it went through my cartilage instead of the sweet spot and it hurt super super bad, but! Everyone in there was super sweet and loving and it was a super great clean and covid-smart shop :-) despite going through the cartilage, the piercing looks great and I think maybe the small jewelry I chose might have made it too tight if it was pierced up at my sweet spot or maybe it wouldn’t have suited my face as much or something so I think it’s all good. I’m sure if I went back they’d be happy to re-pierce but I think I’m content with how it is. I was given juice and lots of support when I almost passed out and I’d definitely come again and I would recommend (and have already recommended) area 51 to my friends!! 💗

My daughter and I both got piercings by Sam and she was amazing. Everyone in the shop was super friendly and helpful. Sam was very professional and her room was spotlessly clean. Im hooked on piercings now and plan to go back to Sam again soon even though Eugene is almost 2 hours from where I live. Yes, shes that good!

I love my New Piercings. I have been going to Jared for all my piercing needs, and the Jewelry collection is to die for.Beautiful results. June 2020I was having some problems with my ear cartilage i was able to book a free trouble shoot appointment the next day and got some great advice. treatment suggestions and had all my questions answered. I felt much better after my visit and my ears are 100% now Aug 2020Jared of Area 51 has been doing my piercings for years I added some pictures of all the finished work and some throwbacks from back in the day Sep 2020

Very fun. Got my eyebrow and my ears pierced here. Nice employees, piercings turned out very well. Good prices.

All the staff were very kind! The environment in the shop was friendly, clean, and fun. Jared pierced my septum and he was very kind. He answered all my questions and helping me feel comfortable. Love my septum!

As soon as you walk in you feel welcome and comfortable. They have a great jewelry selection as well. Piercer was very clean and quick. I had my septum done and it only hurt for a second. Healed super fast as well! Definitely will get more piercings here.

The shop is really cool. I love looking at all the 90s stuff. Reminds me of my childhood. Everyone was super friendly and Jeff was patient with my questions and me freaking out of the needles. I really like it there.

I got a few piercings from Kenny. Experience was great. Strong desk was wonderful and so helpful in getting me narrowed down to what I wanted. Kenny kept me at ease, and made the whole process painless(mostly). Will definitely be going again for my next ones!

I had such an amazing experience getting my nipples pierced. Kenny was very professional and didn’t make me feel awkward for a sensitive piercing location. Very clean, quick and not too painful. They look and feel great. Was a bit spicy but healing well so far!

I came here about a year ago to get my nose pierced. It was my first nose piercing so I didnt know what to expect. He pierced my nose with a huge ring way to far down. I was forced to come in a week later as it was super infected. The lady at the front desk looked horrified that I had gotten that done there. He took me back and switched it out with a stud. It eventually healed but that was such a bad experience and such a waste of money. Ill be getting it re pierced somewhere better.

Would of loved to have gotten some ink here but was book out 3 months and traveling through they could not squeeze us in

When I tell you that our experience was incredible today, I mean it was literally the best customer service I have ever encountered. My daughter struggles with severe anxiety and Jared found a way to calm and empower her through her experience. He was kind, patient, respectful, patient, honest and did I mention, patient. He helped with more than her piercings and, as her mom, I am forever grateful for his understanding and calm.The rest of the staff were amazing as well. From phone inquiries to jewelry selection, facility cleanliness to COVID management, we could not have had a better experience.

Jared is the only one I’ll allow to pierce me or my kids. He’s been amazing for as long as I can remember. Love going to Area 51 for any/all of my piercing and jewelry needs! Counter girl Sydney is pretty awesome too ;)

Got my first piece of my Alice slaying the Jabberwocky back piece tattoo started today. Very happy so far!

This was best experience I had with a piercing, definitely recommend them. They are friendly, real and look out for best of you. Also they make sure you are satisfied as well as know proper care for whatever you are having done. I had my inner ear done.

Amazing!! I got my ears pierced here this morning by Jared. Super friendly and nice! I would write a lot more but Im too tired too.He did a wonderful job and made me feel really comfortable. He walked me through everything, helped me picked out the perfect jewelry, answered all my questions, and I ended up walking out the door happy with perfect ears.ugh cant thank you guys enough. thank you ❤️

We highly recommend Chris ! He’s a great tattoo artist and reasonably priced.We couldn’t be happier with our ink . Everyone at the shop is friendly and super chill .The best shop you’ll find in Lane county .10 stars

Jared and his team are always professional and I have never had a bad experience with them. Good quality jewelry and if you get nervous when getting pierced, Jared is an absolute sweetheart to make you feel comfortable. Plus you leave with beautiful additions!

Fantastic staff and Knowledgeable. Always willing to help and share great stories. I prefer Area 51 over High Priestess any day!

Rob tatted my best friend and I last minute. our regular artist cancelled since it was Fathers Day, but rob had to problem working on us! he was professional, but awesome to talk with, wasnt standoffish, and did great work! healed well, only one spot of irritation on mine and that was most likely my fault anyways (:

Best place in Lane County to get your body modifications done and THE ONLY place I trusted to take my kiddo to for their much begged for ear piercings. Jared is one of Eugenes finest OG piercers and he only has the best working alongside him at Area 51. Knowledgeable, professional, and will always go above and beyond!

The absolute GREATEST staff ever. They make you feel extremely comfortable from the moment you walk in until you leave. (Dont forget to make your next appointment before you go.) My daughter and I love the atmosphere and the awesome work they do. Well definitely go back.

Area 51 piercing has the most professional piercers and some of the highest quality gold jewelry! Ive had multiple ear piercings as well l and I could not of had better experiences!

Love this place ever in Oregon in the lane County area you have let area 51 take care of your needs and wants

My partner got two piercings on her lower lip (spider bites). Despite the fact that they were absolutely swamped with both appointments and walk-ins they both managed to maintain social distancing between clients and completed our piercing in an extremely professional manner.They used a hollow needle by hand for the piercing instead of those disease ridden piercing guns and I have never been more assured that the pricing was clean.Finally Im more than pleased with the pricing. For two piercings and, two rings to hold open said piercings, we only spent $100 (thats the price for the work, the jewlery, and enough cleaner to last several months.) I reccomend Area 51 for anyone looking for safe piercings and tattoo work.

I’ve gotten a couple piercings at Area 51. Some of which I had to go in and get changed out, repierced etc. They’ve been so so so kind and accommodating, they’re incredibly nice, and I’ve never felt uncomfortable reaching out to request anything. They’re super timely, and their website makes it super easy to digitally schedule an appointment. For piercings, it’s very affordable! I highly recommend for anyone who wants to get a piercing done. :)

Best peircing experience in the Eugene area. Great and clear pricing, super knowledgeable and kind staff.

Got poked in my face...it was awesome 😎 I cant wait to go back for my next one! They get ALLLLLL the stars 🤩

I went in today and had such a great experience. Right as I walked in I felt welcomed and comfortable even though I was very nervous. The lady at the front desk was super friendly I didnt get her name but she was very nice. Kenneth was the one that did my three piercings, both sides of nose and tragus. He made me feel very welcomed and answered all my questions. He was so nice and his energy was great. He did so great. I will be recommending to everyone I can and definitely will be back. Thanks so much for an overall great experience.

Every experience I’ve had here has been great! The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Awesome selection of jewelry. I am always happy with the quality of service they provide.

We had a great experience when my daughter recently had her septum pierced by Jared. They are 💯% friendly, clean and all aspects of the process were explained before anything was actually done.. They truly do care about your body and the shop is super cool too!! Thanks Jared, Megan and the Area 51 piercing/ tatooing crew! 😁

Amazing atmosphere and the staff... 6 💥s for sure ..

Genuinely the best shop in the area with awesome staff, service, and quality jewelry!!

I had my nostril pierced by Jared about two and a half months ago. I was able to use Groupon for the piercing, which was very easy to redeem with them. The employees I interacted with were personable and very helpful with my questions. Jared was a pleasured to be pierced by. Aside from being relieved that he enforced mask protocol, Jared helped me feel extremely comfortable from the moment we met to our farewell. During the actual piercing, he worked with professional quickness. I would love to go back, and recommend the shop to my friends and family!

I had diamonds placed on my teeth at this establishment a little over two years ago. This week one of them finally fell off. The owner told me they were expected to last about 1 year. I will be returning to Area 51 to get more in the future. Great value, greater staff.

I love this place! Such a rad shop. Jared is such a cool person and immediately makes you feel comfortable, like you are a regular. Every employee I have interacted with is extremely pleasant and helps you feel welcome. Prices are great as well! Awesome selection of jewelry and tattoo artists with a super cool collection of vintage toys to looks at. Check them out for sure!

Kenny at Area 51 was amazing! I went here to get my four year old daughters ears pierced for her birthday. She is normally scared of EVERYTHING and is a huge cryer. So, I though for sure that she was going to be scared and nervous, even though it was something she wanted. Kenny made her so comfortable and talked with her during the entire process. I was really adamant about not taking her to a place like Claires. They did an awesome job and she loves her new earrings! Definitely recommend them! Great experience!

Friendly staff. Good availability for appointments. Easy to find location. Offer many different services (I am doing tattoo removals). Good, high quality equipment. Pricing is good. Would definitely recommend them for tattooing or piercing needs!

My brilliant existence did what weve all done during the pandemic. I bought jewelry online. This ended up being a not bright idea as I ended up with a septum hole that was closing without my knowledge. I went into Area 51 based on the ratings and the easy booking system, and I was not disappointed. I assumed the hole had completely closed since I couldnt get anything through it and that I would need it pierced again. The piercer asked me a few questions and said we probably could just taper it out. He was right, and he didnt charge me a piercing fee even though I feel like there should absolutely be one for that level of work.Everyone in the shop was super friendly and kind, something I appreciate and make note of in the sea of aloof and too cool studios. If we werent in a pandemic, Id actually want to hang out with them.On the pandemic note, I cant speak highly enough about the Covid precautions. You call the shop ahead of time to let them know youve arrived. I suggest doing this from your car if you can since its next to a loud road. I made the mistake of not doing this. Everyone was masked up and constantly cleaning. While studios of course have good sanitation practices to begin with, you could see that it had been taken up a notch. Everyone was also respecting social distancing and only coming into close contact with people who they were working on. Casual conversation was done from afar.I cannot give this place enough praise.

Chris Akins is amazing ❤ He isNot just am excellent tattooist but a really cool guy. Gina Valera

Area 51 is a great tattoo and piercing shop love the atmosphere

Very professional and friendly. Have been pierced and tattood at the shop and have been extremely satisfied everytime.Highly recommend to family, friends and strangers alike!

Love, love, love Area51, but especially love Jared (piercing) and Katie (tattoo removal). Theyre so genuine and real. You arent treated like a customer, youre treated like family and its so refreshing.Alssooooooo, way better prices and overall experience compared to other shops in the area, 100%. Id pay more at Area51 than any other shop for the atmosphere alone.12/10 would reccomend

Lindsay who runs the front desk helped me out so much picking out the right jewelry & help answer all of my questions & concerns!Kenney the artist helped me switch out my jewelry recently and helped me so much! He is very professional, friendly and helped me feel comfortable the entire time! I will only come back to him moving forward!The place is very clean & sanitized making it welcoming during uncertain times.I’m thankful for the Area 51 to still be open. Thank you to the both of you for helping me with my piercings to help me feel like myself! These two went above and beyond to give me a positive experience to remember!Thank y’all so much it the hospitality & service!I was so nervous / anxious walking in at first. Now I feel like a goddess with my new look!

I went to get my septum pierced last June. They did not get the right spot, and not only did it hurt like hell, but the piercer did not stop even after I begged him to. And I mean, screaming and sobbing and saying stop, stop. Not only that, but he went in at a bad angle and had to redo it. When that happens a piercer is supposed to send you home, and then you can come back once the initial hole is healed over. He did not do that, and re-pierced it then and there. It was an overall traumatic experience and I went home in agony. For reference on how bad the pain was-- I had a fairly major abdominal surgery a few months ago. I had to walk right afterward, and it was so painful I nearly vomited. It was still not nearly as bad as that septum piercing was. Never coming back.

Great service, awesome decor. Very beginner friendly.

Best piercing experience Ive ever had. Highly recommend this place. 💜

I am thrilled to have Area 51 Piercing. We are truly lucky to have such an amazing guy behind the needle. Jared has been my personal piercer since I was a teenager and he was an apprentice. Even back then he had a gift. Has always me feel at ease even when I was nervous. I have taken my daughter to get pierced by him and he always has a way of getting her to laugh through her scared tears. LOL Jared take pride in what he does and always has. One of the cleanest shops and some of the most beautiful authentic body jewelry in town. This year my daughter got us matching piercings for my birthday and I got to meet his apprentice. Sure sucks getting old but so good to see him passing on his knowledge. If you are looking to get a piercing, look no more. Area 51 Piercing has you covered. 💯

Highly recommend Kenny especially as a piercer for any kiddos. He’s got a great quirky personality that keeps them from getting worried about the process. Snacks and juice are available if anyone gets woozy. High quality jewelry and good hygiene.

Best tattoo in MANY years! Amazing staff. Great tattoo artists whom actually care about there work.

This crew at Area 51 is incredible. Not only did they take every necessary precaution for our current pandemic situation but they explained how they would do the piercing I was getting, what to expect during and after, aftercare, and then assisted me in choosing jewelry that made sense for my lifestyle. My Medusa hurt way less than I expected and the healing has been very easy.You want a piercing or new jewelry, go down to the shop. Theyre incredible!

I love this shop! Super friendly and always work with me to get the look I desire. Its my favorite place to go for sure.

The piercing staff are really great. Made what could have been painful and unpleasant into, well still painful but fun conversation. They also did a great job with COVID-19 guidelines. Definitely recommend

Kenny is amazing! I love how comfortable he made me feel before my septum! He did an amazing job! Will definitely be coming back for more piercings!

Everytime I come in there the staff is amazing!!! Jared helped me make a custom septum peace that I absolutely love! They are always so friendly and clean. I will always go to them for my piercing and tattoo needs.

Mom and I went for a second time Jared and crew are amazing already planning on going again a couple weeks. We have such a blast going

Great place, fun vibe, awesome staff!

The most respectful, knowledgeable, professional, and fair piercing shop. I highly recommend them for any of your piercing needs!

I love this business!! I refer them every chance I get. All staff is very knowledgeable and friendly, always professional. They get new jewelry in on the regular. They are happy to answer any and all questions. I’ve gotten many piercings from them since they’ve opened and will get more in the future I’m sure.

For a sixty year old lady, they were clean, polite, professional and very knowledgeable and made me feel at easy, impressed 😊

Very nice environment

Sheesh this is the best shop I’ve been to. I love the vibe there. I just got my nostril piercing today and I’m going back tomorrow for another. Jared H makes the experience fun and real. Definitely better than the competitors ( wink wink )

Ive been in twice now for piercings and Jared is the best! I wont let anyone else pierce me now. He made me feel immediately comfortable and made the entire process as painless as possible. I also love the atmosphere at Area 51 and everyone there is really nice and helpful, plus the jewelry selection is amazing!

I just love these peeps! Alicia did my tattoo and she is great I schedule another one the next day!😍

Clean and professional. recieved a above standard service. I got my lip pierced, and am overwhelmingly satisfied with the outcome, weeks later!

Jared is a star. Hes the only person Ill ever go to for my piercing needs..Ive been seeing him for 11 years now and he always takes care of my questions, concerns and is so friendly. 10/5 starsEdit: Jared went above and beyond in customer service. I can not stress enough how highly I recommend this place for all your needs. Thank you for providing A++ service.

Incredible customer service! Theyre always super nice and super knowledgeable, I wont go anywhere else for piercings!

Got a cartilage piercing & a third piercing over a year ago. Neither ever healed and both got so infected. Had to take both out.Wasted money. Such a bummer

Better than the rest 👏🏼👏🏼 My fiancé and I both got our nostrils done yesterday. It was such a great experience we literally BOTH made appointments for today as well. The vibe at this shop is unmatched. It’s more than a tattoo/piercing, it’s a whole experience 🤗 P.S. Jared is awesome.

Always an amazing experience always amazing work

Jared is absolutely the best around! I couldnt be happier. The shop was very clean and comfortable. The jewelry selection is incredible, very high quality, and awesome prices! Im referring everyone I know!!!
