“I had a great experience getting a piercing at New Wave Body with Rob. He was very knowledgeable and explained the entire process clearly before starting, which made me feel really comfortable. The piercing itself was quick and smooth. Rob was also incredibly nice and professional throughout the whole appointment. I live in Chicago, but I would definitely drive back there when I want another piercing. It’s great to find a place where you can truly trust the person doing your piercing. Highly recommend!”
“Rob was absolutely stellar! I travelled an hour and a half to get my daughter’s belly button pierced on a Sunday. Rob was cool and professional from the initial phone call to explaining the aftercare when we were done. Most importantly he made sure both my daughter and I were comfortable throughout the entire process. It was obvious he’s been doing this for a while and we’ll be going back there for sure! Thank you Rob!”
“Rob, owner of New Wave Body Art Studio, is a true pro! My piercing was completely painless, precise, and done in a spotless, relaxing studio. The team was friendly and knowledgeable. It healed perfectly with zero issues. Drove from Gurnee and it was 100% worth it. Highly recommend Rob—you won’t regret it!”
“Rob is awesome. He is very knowledgeable and open about the whole experience. He re-opened my mom’s 10 year old nose piercing and did my industrial WHILE conserving my 2 existing helix piercings no problem. I will definitely be returning!”
