My girlfriend got half a sleve done, which took about seven hours (breaks included), and it turned out really well! Bbbuuuttt... I was in the car that whole time without access to a bathroom. I understand what with the pandemic and all, but some sort of relief spot outside would be most welcome. The tattoo was freaking beautiful, though.

Went in a bit last-minute for a double lobe piercing. I had a bit of an adventure involving a wallet left miles away which I was able to retrieve by foot and bus. Miss B (?) was very forgiving and informative, and did her best to make the experience as comfortable as possible. A month later, piercings are healing up very nicely. Thank you!

Had the best experience Ive ever had when getting a piercing. Natalie Ferrer is kind and caring. She explained everything she was going to do before doing it. I am definitely going back to have her do my next piercing. The shop was very clear and had a great atmosphere.

This was the absolute perfect experience for a first time. I got my nose pierced and the person was so engaging and made me feel so safe. Everything was very professional and clean and I am very happy with the outcome!!!

My sister and I had piercings done by Natalie, I would highly recommend her to anyone! She was friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole experience very pleasant.

They’ve squeezed me in 3 separate times for nose, ear lobes, and helix piercings. Badaweyah Kareem Queen B and the other staff are prompt and kind. Always a lighthearted, welcoming environment that I highly recommend.

Badaweyah did my septum piercing in May 2021, and she was incredibly kind and took her time making sure I got the best possible piercing! The shop was very clean, and the vibe was so luscious. This is very clearly a place staffed by professionals who are also PEOPLE -- their primary priority was my safety, and their second priority was everyone having a fun, good time. Everyone has a unique nose, of course, and my noses sweet spot was very small, but Queen B got a second set of eyes just to ensure it was completely straight AND properly, safely placed. I spent an hour here but it felt like only twenty minutes; Badaweyah and I immediately got along like old friends. I cant stress how happy I am with Pinups and Needles and how safe and comfortable they made me feel. I will certainly be coming back for my next planned body mods!

Great people, great service! Natalie listens to what you want and gives you gorgeous locks. Bee was so gentle with my daughters piercings!

My husband and I had tattoos done by Jake and they are just what we wanted. He was friendly and accommodating!

Allie and her apprentice B treated my body with the upmost respect and care.They allowed me to feel at home and had great laughs with each other.My piercings are absolutely beautiful !!Definitely will return for my next body adornments 😊Thank you !!

It was very awesome. Got my first ink there and Charlie did such an amazing job and was super awesome

Jeremy did such a good job with my 7 year old for her birthday! He was kind, gentle, explained everything he was doing while working with us. Would recommend to anyone with kids!

Got a piercing done by Rev J. Amazing experience. He made sure he talked me through everything and made sure I was 100% comfortable moving forward with the piercing. Clean shop, personable, and was able to chat with Charlie and Natalie who were both extremely welcoming and friendly as well. Great time, I will definitely be back.

Got my first piercing done with Allie and it was a really really great experience. Overall amazing service and a very clean establishment. Everything was exactly what I expected and I couldn’t have hoped for more. Awesome with both health department guidelines and COVID precautions, would recommend to everyone!!

My daughter had her nose pierced here, and they were amazing. Highly recommend!

I went in in my vacation to get my septum pierced, the gentleman was very professional and made sure everything was super clean. I was super nervous going in but the atmosphere mixed with my piercer calmed me down immensely. Will definitely be going back if Im ever in the area again.

This was BY FAR the best experience Ive ever had at a piercing salon. The biggest difference was that Jeremy was incredibly professional. As someone who sometimes feels out of place in piercing and tattoo parlors, I very much appreciated this! I felt very safe, as he also paid a lot of attention to COVID protocols/safety, and hes a kind, gentle, and fun person to talk to as well. I was having my nose stud jewelry changed and expected it to be a bit painful, but it wasnt at all. I usually save my piercings for when I travel to larger cities so I can go to really top-notch spots, but theres no need for that anymore! So glad TC now has an awesome piercing spot!

Great experience getting my ear pierced by Allie! I was a bit nervous with the safety and Covid - but they are doing an amazing job with safety and taking temperatures and sanitizing all the time ! Would definitely recommend !!

Awsome place awsome people will come again

This place is the bees knees! Professional, clean and just all around great humans!

Got my ears pierced. Jeremy did an awesome job. Very clean and professional, also helpful with looking at a previous piercing. I will definitely be back again.

I got my medusa pierced a few days ago and it was great! The girl at the front was super nice and complimented my makeup and made me feel more at ease. The guy doing my piercing was very friendly and explained everything very well. my big septum jewelry was getting in the way, but he was very calm and professional throughout the whole thing. very nice people, professional, clean, and great prices! thank you!

I got my nose done and the piercer was amazing and so nice. He talked through the whole process step by step and had me so comfortable. I highly recommend them! Also love that they support the gay community ❤️ Much love!

Got a piercing done, was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Gave a great explanation of after care. Would definitely visit again.

Allie was very amazing and very professional would recommend 100%

Queen B was great to work with!

My wife and I had an absolutely amazing experience with Jeremy. Extremely clean and professional. Could not recommend more!

Great service, people, and atmosphere. Clean shop and very friendly staff made me feel comfortable and welcome. Highly recommend.

Great people highly reccomend

Very glad I went here for my piercings! Jeremy and Noelle were super professional and I felt very welcomed. Thank you guys so much- I love my new earrings! 😊

My husband and I have gotten two tattoos each by Charlie and have already booked for another. We live in Chicago and when we come home for the holidays we have to get an appointment with Him! It’s a new tradition :) He’s great at what he does, and always fun to chat with. 5 stars for sure!!

What can I say? A LOT!! Charlie, Natalie,Roth,Kylie and the crew make you feel warm and welcome from the moment you step in the door. The tattoo artists here are INCREDIBLE, and they go out of their way to make you comfortable and to make sure you are getting EXACTLY what you want. Natalie and the gang in the salon are phenomenal at their jobs,and you will leave feeling like the God or Goddess that you are. I truly cannot say enough good things about the experience you will have at Pinups & Needles!

The man who did my piercing walked me through the whole process and made sure I was comfortable. The whole experience was great

Great people, EXCELLENT services and reasonable prices.

Jeremy is awesome for piercings, a true professional. Thank you for doing such a great job! 👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonderful atmosphere. Amazing artists. Great personalities! Ive gotten some tattoos done here and Ive also gotten my hair done here. Tattoos were fun and Charlie is not heavy handed so there was very little pain, and what pain I did have was definitely tolerable. He takes his time and I can tell he loves what he does. I get my hair done here as well. I absolutely love my color and cut. Natalie gets a 10 out of 10! Shes amazing! They ARE licensed through the state of MI contrary to a previous review. Their facility is very clean and well kept. I would definitely recommend doing getting your tattoos and your hair done here!

Very polite, went there for a piercing. 10/10 will go again!

I got pierced by Jeremy! He was amazing, and I loved the location. Thank you.❤️

Amazing staff. Very clean! Very safe!

We were a walk in and they were amazing. Charles was so easy to talk to and nice. He made us comfortable and was able to squeeze us in for honeymoon tattoos! This will not be the last time we visit.

I have gotten two of my tattoos done here by Roth. They are awesome! Great conversation and attention to detail. The shop is a fun atmosphere too.

Literally the best tattoo place Ive walked in. Very clean, organized and everyone in the shop is extremely easy to talk to and they understand what youre saying. This is the 4th tattoo Charlie has drawn for me, I will never go anywhere else.

I cannot recommend the shop highly enough. They are quality people that do quality work. I am always looking forward to my next appointment as it is not just a shop, it is a community. Thanks for being awesome.

I just got my rook done. I am absolutely scared of needles and was terrified to get it done but he made me feel very safe and I felt very good the entire time. I will 100000% be coming back.

Was in a jam called them they helped us real quick while they were in-between customer with a phone call. Thank you.

Charlie is the best tattoo artist ever and Natalie is a genius with hair and aesthetics! Plus, they are two of the best humans ever!

Charlie was AMAZING! Great guy, and GREAT work. Had the straightest tattoo lines Ive have done on me. My wifes and my tattoos turned out amazing and we will definitely be going to him from now on for ink!

One of the most down-to-earth and homely places to be! Natalie was awesome and talking to her was like talking to someone that Ive known forever when I literally JUST met her today! I was able to trust her with cutting my bangs, which huge deal, because after high school, I swore to myself to never let anyone touch my bangs again hahah She was able to deliver with how I wanted to cut my hair which is really hard to find around Traverse City because of how thick, wavy/curly, and coarse my hair can be. All Im saying is that I know where Ill be getting my haircuts and future anything that I want done with my hair from now on! Thanks for letting me entrust my hair to you! It was truly an experience and I cant wait to come in again!

Very professional! Super people! Great experience!!

Theyre the best! 💜💜💜💜

Charlie and Roth are phenomenal! Easy to work with, and truly go above and beyond.
