Venus Modern Body Arts – As manager of Venus I was surprised and saddened by the recent bad reviews we have received. Everyone that works at Venus loves what they do and would never purposely want to ruin someone's experience here. We want you to keep coming back! If any customer encounters a problem with their piercing or tattoo we are always happy to accommodate them and do whatever is in our power to remedy the situation. As far as our jewelry goes, the reason it is pricier than other shops is because of the quality and m... read more

oops...but oh-so Wow! – I originally posted this review on the "other" Venus citisearch site. It definitely belongs here, instead. Since I wrote this review, I have had a few more wonderful interactions with Marilyn. She really is the best-there is just no one out there like her. Here is the original review: First time there, and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place!! I had my first experience at Venus today, and I am SO impressed. I spoke with Marilyn, who was professional, knowledgeable and very patient. She answered every questi... read more

get your new holes here. – marilyn gave me the most painful piercing i've ever experienced. that said, it was clean and as 'painless' (low-pain?) as it could be because she was quick and thoughtful. she told me how to take care of it, warned me that it was going to be mind-blowingly painful and told me when to breathe, 'cause i had forgotten. the music was good, the jewelry selection was extensive and the setting calming. next time i needed to get pierced, i went right back to her waiting needles and was again pleased by the... read more

Exorbitant Prices and Lackluster Piercing Skills – Speaking for me and acquaintances I know who have visited Venus, this place is NOT WORTH THE TIME OR MONEY. The prices are Outrageous, granted the jewelry is nice looking, but you can go to a place like Cutting Edge or somewhere else and get a much better experience at a third the cost. The wait time can be overly frustrating, it's as if you have to work for the attention of a piercer when, in fact, they are the ones who should be working for you to make sure you are tended ... read more

Best piercing shop around – I've been pierced in many shops across the country and Venus is by far superior. I was introduced to them after a horrible experience with a well known shop on St. Marks. I'd had both nipples and my navel pierced at a shop on St. Marks and paid a high price for gold jewelry. It turned out the jewelry was fake and both piercings were misaligned and got infected. When I went in to ask for them to be changed they refused. The piercer who was in that day (who Id been pierced by previously) refused to ... read more

High prices, inattentive service, not worth the attitude. – THIS REVIEW ONLY DISCUSSES AN EXPERIENCE WITH THE PIERCING SERVICES HERE, I'VE NO EXPERIENCE WITH THE TATTOO SIDE OF THIS BUSINESS. I went to Venus for my 19th piercing after poring over the impressive reviews (I just moved here from Chicago and left behind my trusted body mod resources!). I wasn't terribly impressed: in spite of being the only customer there, the piercer ignored me for a good 5 minutes, answering a phone call and doing something on the computer. Wh... read more

Eh. – 'Eh' is relaly the only way to describe my first visit. I felt a little as though i had to have my ears gauged and red hair and some tattoos riding up my arm to get some attention or some respect but that's totally understandable. I asked if I had to bring in my own drawings of what i had in mind etc. and i got a 'well duh, wtf did you think?' type face from the owner. (Sorry?geez.) I would have gone back, regardless of the inasnely high price for even something small, only because the artist's work looked amazing..all... read more

I go to Venus for Joy Rumore! – Basically, I will follow this woman anywhere. Her work is 100% worth it. I used to get tattooed by Joy in Brooklyn at Pure Body Arts, cried for three months when she left, and now I am elated that she has come back to New York and found a new place to work out of in the city. I have never met a tattoo artist who is not only so talented, but SO NICE. And I know it's not just because I'm a repeat customer, I have sent many first time tattoo-seekers to her and they've come back to me with nothing... read more

Excellent Experience and Ronda is the BEST – For my 18th birthday I was looking to get a tattoo in NYC. After a little bit of research I found Venus Modern Body Arts. Everything about the place is excellent. The environment the shop and the people were wonderful. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful and really tried to make the tattoo exactly what I wanted it to be. For any additional tattoos I will go to no other place than Venus Modern Body Arts.
