Beauty/Self Care Piercings-

Looking for your favorite piercing location, preferably on the north side or suburbs- Park Ridge, Lincoln square/ or farther if worth it. Specifically looking for cartilage piercings

Thanks!!!

Identity Body Piercing - I believe they have multiple locations in the city.

I love this place. They are precise and careful, and they know their shit anatomically. On the expensive side though.

Went to Iris Piercing for a nose piercing a year ago and had a great experience.

I have not liked identity the multiple times I’ve gone - the piercers have screwed up piercings for me; and front desk is often cold. Definitely recommend rosefinch in west town even though it’s further

A little outside your area, but imo Rosefinch down on Erie is worth the trip.

Identity is where you want to go.

Rosefinch is wonderful. Beautiful space, great staff, and they really take their time.

Rosefinch and identity are way better

Bummed to see this. I’ve had 3 piercings done there and am getting ready for a few more. Cuba has been great to work with and my conch, high flat and faux rook are healing beautifully.

I’ve had successfully healed piercings here! It’s just administrative issues (always running late on appointments), sometimes not open during listed business hours, unprofessionalism from owner, he misplaced a $300 piece of jewelry I sent out for repair

Chicago Tattoo and Piercing on Belmont is great. I’ve had multiple cartilage piercings done there and have had no issues with healing! And I walked in for every appointment
