I have had nine piercings all performed by Prysm Jewelry & Piercing, and I also have two gorgeous necklaces from there. Safety is the most important aspect for me (emotional and physical), and I consistently experience that with each visit. The staff are all Association of Professional Piercing members, and they all take pride in what they do. Not only do they educate themselves regularly, they also educate their clients. The new studio is GORGEOUS and highlights their amazing selection of gold, diamond, and genuine gemstones. I receive so many compliments on the jewelry I wear, which was expertly curated by Rob. I will continue to go to Prysm for every future piercing and jewelry item I purchase.

Best place to get pierced. They take their time with each individual to personalize their experience (size, anatomy, etc). Definitely one of the beat places to go. Also the only place I will go from here on out. You can tell by the way they speak to you that they know and understand what they are doing. Their expertise far excels any expectations I’ve had for a piercing professional. Although it may be a bit more in terms of cost associated to other piercers. I will never go anywhere else. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed!

I went to go get my septum pierced this afternoon at Prysm and had the most amazing experience. Booking ahead online and signing their waiver online as well made everything super easy to set up an appointment. Immediately when I walked in I was greeted with a smile by Jacob at the front desk. He checked me in, offered me a bottle of water, and let me know I could take a seat while I waited for Nate to arrive (he wasn’t late, I was just really early, lol!). Their lobby had great vibes with chill music and plenty of jewelry to gawk at while you wait. I was terrified after doing research and realizing cartilage could be pierced instead of the “sweet spot” with a septum piercing, resulting in immense pain. My fears immediately subsided when Nate explained everything down to the detail of what would happen! He made sure to check the anatomy of my nose to find the spot he needed to pierce, explained why it was so important to do so, and he also excellently explained their sterilization process which made me breathe another sigh of relief. He was honest with the whole process about how sometimes piercing a septum can be a complicated process but he reassured me that it would be done right or not at all. After we finished up, he explained the aftercare process (which in of itself was detailed, I’m used to someone throwing a packet of salt at me and calling it a day, lol!) and sent me on my way with a big smile on my face! Thanks to the whole Prysm team, I will be returning for any future piercings I may get!

This is the only place i go for my piercing and jewelry. Rob is funny, knowledgeable, straight to the point and honest. Most piercers will take your money but Rob likes to make sure that the piercing you choose is right for you. Very big on educating clients no matter the piercing. Not to mention none of his jewelry touches the others. That was big for me. You really cant go wrong with him.

Professional, knowledgeable, and relaxed. My questions were answered well, we shared some jokes, and the sales pitch for jewelry wasn’t heavy-handed. It was my first piercing, but I will come back if I decide to get more.

Review №14

Ive been here so often in the last year (6 times... I think) and I honestly wish I could go more often! I believe Ive had an appointment with every piercer there and I love them all! This is such an amazing and welcoming environment and I would recommend them for every single person who wants a good piercing. It is expensive but thats because they are clean and professional with quality jewelry that they clean and polish after receiving which most places dont do. You are paying for a fabulous experience and fantastic new piercing. If you are paying any less for a piercing you will either end up with a bad infection or just horrible placement. Trust me, Im not sure why this place even has bad reviews when it certainly doesnt deserve it. If youre thinking of getting a new piercing, GO HERE YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!

Super knowledgeable. Super sweet. This will be where I get my piercings from now on. While other piercers will pierce and go, Rob takes the time to make sure your piercing will work. Jewelry is high quality. Just got an industrial bar yesterday and it hasn’t caused me any sort of problems 🥰 thanks again Rob! Can’t wait to see you again!

I highly recommend Prysm body piercing to anyone! The staff are very friendly and the piercing staff are knowledge and patient. This past Sunday I got my belly button pierced by Jacob and he did an amazing job. It was my third time getting it pierced (previously done at a different piercing shop) and both times they failed. I felt more reassured with Jacobs knowledge about the floating naval piercing. I absolutely love it and he took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel comfortable with the process. It was super fast and barely felt anything. I will definitely go back in the future for more piercings. Thanks Prysm staff!!

This place is great! The service is spot on, and very knowledgeable about piercings. From the gal at the counter, didn’t catch her name, to my piercer, Nate, I couldn’t have had better people for my experience. Nate is so kind, and I was very nervous, so I appreciated him taking his time with me! If you are in need of a piercing, this is your place to go!

Jacob was awesome with my 5 year old. Loved that he had us come in 3 days prior to practice and make sure our daughter knew what was going to happen and would feel comfortable on the day of. Loved that Jacob explained if she decided at any point not to go through with it, it would be okay. On the day of he let my daughter have complete control and the whole experience was great and will be treasured. She loves her new earings. Thank you!

I went in knowing I wanted my septum pierced but super nervous with lots of questions, and Rob was amazing with them all. He walked me through the process and by the time I was getting the actual piercing done I wasn’t nervous at all. It didn’t hurt, it looks amazing, and the service was impeccable. 10/10 will be going back with any future piercing needs.

Review №34

I took my daughter here to get her ears pierced. Yes, it is cheaper at Claires, but they dont have the knowledge and experience that the piercers have at Prysm. Jacob was AMAZING! I was more of a nervous wreck and he explained exactly what was going to happen and it was very sanitary. I really appreciate the time and care he took with my child.

I went and got my nose pierced. They made sure they told me what would look good on my nose. I previously had my nose pierced and took it out because I didnt like the placement and the placement this time was perfect! Everything was super clean and sterile. I highly reccomend.

Review №36

Great service!Was pierced at the maritime tattoo festival by Bob Hill at a Prysm Piercing stand about a month ago.I was on the verge of challenging his skill, for sure (I have a couple piercing horror stories from experienced piercers). But my piercer was still very receptive, and he explained things well and was confident in his abilities. He let me know he was piercing for ~18 years, which made me feel a lot better. I got my vertical labret pierced PERFECTLY. It matches with my septum piercing, lips, and rest of my face (we are not perfectly symmetrical and he pierced accordingly). I am so happy. It is healing beautifully, thanks to the complimentary H2Ocean spray I received from my piercer, and the high quality implant grade titanium. Thank you so much, Rob!

Rebecca at the front counter was wonderful and sweet. She was very patient and helped me see how each piece of jewelry might look. Rob was incredible when I had my septum pierced. He walked me through every step of the process in a very professional way. He made sure it was just right and even though he had to correct the piercing, I was prepared for this possibility due to his thorough explanation. I am thrilled with how my piercing looks and very happy with my experience.

Rob Hill is one of the best! The selection and quality of the jewelry is top notch. I can always find something within my price range. Every time I go in, whether its for a new piercing or a simple jewelry change, Rob has always shown professionalism and friendly customer service. I always feel at ease with Rob knowing the experience will be safe in terms of a clean sterile environment as well as respect for my privacy. He thorough as talks me through each step of the process and ensures I have the appropriate after care instructions. Rob is truly a master at his craft!

Got my nose pierced here yesterday and has the best experience. The girl at the front desk was extremely nice and helped me quickly pick jewelry and fill out the paperwork. Then I went back with the piercer who told me step by step what would happen and asked if I had any questions. The piercing was quick and almost painless, then he went through aftercare with me. It was all a clean, professional, and fun experience!

My 11 year old daughter just had her ears re-pierced with Nate, and it was a really great experience. Nate did a good job of explaining the procedure, emphasizing proper care of the earrings, and helping my daughter be comfortable throughout. Thank you, Nate, for your efforts, and thank you, Rob for introducing me to your awesome business.

I was just in today to get my helix pierced and the staff did a superb job. It was very apparent from the beginning how important sterilization was. Jacob made sure I was comfortable and explained everything carefully and thoroughly. Their selection was huge and high quality. If I decide to get another piercing in the future I will definitely be coming back.

You want the highest quality jewelry? Prysm Piercing is it. Body Vision Los Angeles, Anatometal, Industrial Strength, can all be found here. Hands down, the best piercing studio in Iowa. APP certified, immaculately clean, and Rob is the best at making you feel comfortable through the entire experience. He talks to you as if youve been friends for years! Overall, an amazing shop with truly talented and professional piercers.

I have several piercings from different shops around Des Moines and Prysm is far and away the best. I recently had my nose pierced here by Rob and could not be more happy with the results or experience! The selection of jewelry is excellent, so I was very indecisive. Rob gave me his honest opinion and Im so happy I followed his advice. I was given a thorough explanation of the process and the aftercare. He was super speedy with the piercing too! Everything was very professional and the studio was incredibly sanitary. Highly recommended!

I love this place!I was really really nervous to go in and just say what I wanted! But they made me feel so so comfortable. Not only is the environment with the staff really comfortable, but its honestly probably more sterile then some doctors offices. I got my nose and tongue done. Im so glad I went there and this will be my only recommendation and place I go in the future! ☺😊

I went in for a monroe replacement stud. Gabriel and Jacob helped me through a full needs assessment. They used small tongs to hold the show case beads to my face so I could see what it would look like. Then Jacob physically changed stud I bought for free. Those two were 100% worth the high price of the jewelry. Theyve got my future business for sure!!

From out of state and went in to buy my wife 2 diamond nose studs. The diamonds I bought are not typically used for the nose but I was assured that they would work. Upon driving 1100 miles home I gave them to my wife for an early Valentines day gift in which they do not fit. He said theres nothing he can do and they cant be returned...Basically told me Im stuck with 2 diamonds that dont work or fit and Im out $320.00!!! Con artist taking advantage of a sale on an out of stater 1100 miles away and cant just drive back in to get it taken care of! Shyster!!! Going to file a complaint with the better business bureau...If they are even accredited. Beware and make sure you have all the facts before buying from this company...Just trying to make a sale.😡

After several years of contemplating getting a daith piercing for migraines, I finally worked up the courage to do it. That was a little over a month ago.Since getting my piercing, I’ve felt the start of no less than seven migraines. I’ve been tempted to take my meds when I feel one coming on, but have taken a leap of faith each time that the piercing will do its job. It hasn’t failed me once! I mean ZERO migraine meds during this time and ZERO migraines! I really, truly did not expect this outcome. I was hoping that they would be less frequent or less severe. I never dreamt that it would prevent them completely. I know it doesn’t work for everyone but I don’t know why it works for some and not others. Perhaps some don’t go to an experienced person who uses high quality, sterile instruments and quality jewelry, take care to properly clean it, etc. What I do know is that if someone is suffering from migraines, I would recommend finding a good place and getting it done! What have you got to lose? Seriously, if it doesn’t work for you, at least you have a cute piercing 😉
