I had an amazing experience with my nose piercing from Pat. He explained everything and was professional and eased my anxiety. I was thrilled with my piercing. I also was amazed with Tyler, who did my tattoo. It was PERFECT! The cleanliness was top notch. My experience from the phone interaction, my check in and the artists was phenomenal! I highly recommend Gypsy Hill, Tattoo and Piercing! Thank you for an awesome experience!

I have several piercings already (from other places) but the experience here was by far the best Ive ever had. Pat was so sweet and kind and answered all my questions, but also gave me so much information about what he was doing and how it worked that I honestly didnt have that many questions to ask anyway, which was great because I like to know whats going on. The whole studio was very cognizant of staying distanced and I had my temperature taken before entering and had to wash my hands and wipe down my phone and ID, as well as having to wear a mask. One thing that really stood out to me - in a good way - was that Pat asked if I was okay with laying on the table before asking me to do so (I was getting 2 ear piercings). This wasnt something I had even thought twice about and was totally comfortable doing, but I loved that he had the thought to ask because some people may not be comfortable doing so and he made sure I was before asking me to.Every other place Ive gone for piercings has seemed as if theyre trying to crank through clients to get as many people in as possible, and while I understand that to some extent because the artists do need to make money, I very much appreciated that here I didnt feel rushed and Pat really cared that I knew how to take care of my piercings and expects to see me back in 6 weeks to make sure things are healing well, and said not to hesitate to message him if something doesnt seem right. This isnt a one and done kind of place, they care that what they do looks good and continues to look good as it heals and beyond. I will definitely be coming back here for more piercings in the future!!Also I wanted to mention here that several other reviews mention the price is way too high, but considering the professionalism and the continued services they offer after the initial piercing appointment, I think the price is totally fair. I got my tragus and helix pierced, and picked maybe the mid price range jewelry, and paid about $205 which covered both piercings, jewelry for both, aftercare cleaner, checkup appointments, downsizing once the swelling goes down, service fees, and taxes, plus I can message Pat whenever I have issues with my piercings and the jewelry is guaranteed for life, so to me thats a damn reasonable price to pay for someone putting a foreign object through your body

I had one of the best tattooing experiences with Gypsy Hill. Their store is clean and they have several COVID guidelines in place. Tyler worked with me to get the exact look I wanted for my tattoo and I couldnt be happier! Its been healing really nicely and is definitely my favorite tattoo I have so far.

I went here for a nose piercing and had a great experience! Pat was very knowledgeable and not only gave me a ton of info about this piercing but also gave me advice about others (that I got done at other places). It’s been less than a week and my nose already feels healed.They’re also being very clean and cautious about COVID- took my temperature, wiped everything down, had me wash my hands, and even asked me to sanitize my phone. I 100% recommend Pat and Gypsy Hill!

This was the best tattoo experience ever. Tyler’s work and professionalism was excellent. He took his time and showed sincere interest and care for me as a customer. He exceeded my expectations. The shop also did very well with Covid-19 precautions.

Gypsy Hill has done 9 tattoos for me. The store is clean, which is very important to me, and I have always felt like I was in good hands while I was there. If you want a tattoo I couldnt recommend them more. They are a knowledgeable staff and (again cannot stress how important it is to me) very clean.

This is my fourth time at Gypsy Hill. They never let me down. This is an amazing shop with incredible artists. They are following CDC guidelines to the max- better than any other businesses I’ve been to during the pandemic.

I called around 12:50 and they got me in the same day at 1:45. Tyler was patient and great. Will have my next tattoo here! Stephanie was great and friendly.

Super impressed! Very professional! My daughter got her ears pierced and we were so happy with the entire experience! We highly recommend this place!

I went to Gypsy Hill for my first ever piercings during COVID-19.The staff was so professional and prepared -- everything was clean, they had everyone washing their hands, and it all felt very safe.Pat the piercer is AMAZING!!!He was so helpful and answered all my questions -- he even patiently responded when I messaged him several months into my piercing with questions about redness (he was right, totally fine/normal!)I LOVE LOVE LOVE my piercings and I imagine Ill come back for more.HIGHLY recommend Gypsy Hill!!

This place is super awesome! They explain the whole process before and as they do it which is super helpful :). They are clean and fast and they really take care of you! Pat did a helix piercing on me and he did a really great job. I highly recommend him and Gypsy Hill!

I absolutely love this place. I was referred here by my best friend who had work done by Kim. I was able to schedule time for a consultation with Kim who was very attentive and understanding of what my ideas were. When I scheduled my appointment, I was in complete awe with what she created.Everything was clean, and fresh out the packaging. Kim played some great music and we had a wonderful conversation as she worked on my piece. When everything was said and done, I walked away scheduling another appointment.I highly recommend. 10/10

I just got my septum piercing done here and Pat explained everything he was doing in such a nice and calming way, and he was more than willing to answer all my questions. I felt extremely comfortable and am absolutely in love with my piercing! The shop is very sanitary so that made me feel even better. I also got a tattoo done by Jeff back when they were still on Franklin St. around January and my tattoo has healed nicely. I trust this shop and cant wait to go again whenever I want another piercing or tattoo!

Was really scared because it was my first tattoo, Tyler was fantastic. He told me everything that he was going to do thoroughly and let me ask questions. The tattoo came out really great!Everyone else who works there is also very nice. Clean, very professional but still a chill atmosphere.Will definitely come again in the future!

I was looking for a piercing place. I did a search and Gypsy Hill popped up. It had great reviews. The appointment process was easy. Pat was great. He explained everything that he was preparing for, getting ready to do, and the ultimately did to complete my piercing. He also gave me great instructions on how to clean and take care. I would totally recommend Gypsy Hill, Tattoo and Piercing.

God I adore this shop! Had the pleasure of being tattooed by Jeff twice and both times he was understanding and did exactly what I showed him. Officially my go to tattooer! Reasonably priced and very professional (especially with COVID-19 restrictions in place) and very clean!

Great Experience with Pat on the Ear piercings. He was very professional and made the whole experience enjoyable! Thank you again. We will be back!

I went in to get 3 tattoos and was not able to decide on spot and boldness of tattos. Tyler was really patient and explained me about the needle sizes and how it would effect boldness of tattos. He also took his time and explained me clearly about the right spots for tatoos. He didnt rush me through the process and gave me the time I needed to think and decide. I ended up getting 2 tatoos done as I was not able to decide on 3rd. Coming to his work, he is so precise and I really liked the outcome. I would definitely go back for 3rd tattoo once I decide.

I was able to get an appointment with Ty on super short notice and even though it was a same day appointment, he really took the time to understand the design I wanted, helped me to simplify it how I wanted and figure out sizing, and then made sure the stencil was perfectly placed on my shoulder so it wouldn’t look warped or weird. He really made me feel like he wanted to get everything exactly right, and it was a super pleasant and easygoing experience right down to the aftercare instructions! Highly recommend this shop, I’ve gotten a tattoo previously from Jeff as well and he’s fantastic too! Can’t go wrong with Gypsy Hill and I’ll for sure be back!

I set an appointment online, which was an easy process. On the day of the appointment (in the midst of COVID), I went to Gypsy Hill and they followed proper procedures to keep their customers and employees safe.The breakdown of pricing was laid out for me before we started. Pat and I then went back and he walked me through his piercing process and recommended aftercare process thoroughly. He was very mindful of my future ideas with the piercing and made sure the placement would accommodate what I eventually wanted.This is an amazing place that makes caring about its customer known. Even going to the lengths of asking me to set another appointment in a couple of months to check on the healing.If youre wanting a new piercing or tattoo, this should be your go to place.

Great service when getting a piercing here. I had Pat do my piercing and he was so helpful, understanding, and overall made me feel extremely comfortable through the whole process. I would highly recommend! Everyone in the shop is extremely kind and helpful. I definitely plan to return for anything in the future!

I had both of my ears pierced by Pat and he was awesome! He explained every step of the process, made sure I was comfortable, and overall gave off very good vibes. I will definitely be getting more work done by him in the future and 100% recommend him for your piercing needs!

Tyler was my tattoo artist and he was so amazing! Very friendly and talkative to help ease any nerves! Also incredibly talented and skilled. He did a small bunch of tattoos on my forearm and was able to put so much detail into each and every one of them. Definitely recommend.

Tyler was the absolute best and made me feel really comfortable. I drove all the way from Virginia just so he could do my first tattoo. I will definitely come back for my next one! Everything was super clean and followed all the COVID-19 procedures. I totally recommend coming here!!

I really enjoyed my visit! Pat was very kind, accommodating, and informative about the whole process of piercings and care involved. I ended up getting a helix and two lobe piercings which were done super safely and within the means of my comfort. This was my first experience at getting a professionally pierced so now I have a place to go for any future piercings or tattoos and to recommend to friends.

Came in for a tattoo with Tyler. They have multiple COVID-19 precautions so it was very comforting to know I wasn’t putting myself at risk. He tattooed my rib and it looks amazing! I showed him a bunch of pictures of what I kind of wanted and he drew something up to fit. Awesome place!

I just got my nose pierced here and they did such a nice job! I had my piercing done with pat and he made sure I was totally comfortable and didn’t do ANYTHING without talking me through it. I was nervous and he even let me relax for a bit before I was pierced to make sure I was okay. Definitely will be back!

I went in to get a rook piercing about a year ago now. All of the piercing ladies told me I had a great ear for a rook piercing. Myself and a friend were the only people in the shop, so it wasnt busy and there was no rush. Everything seemed fine until my piercer (I believe her name was Mermaid) seemed to have some trouble getting the jewelry in. A friend who came with me later explained that the needle had been removed before the earring was in, so the piercer shoved it through the freshly pierced wound, only telling me that we could stop at any time since I was visibly on the verge of tears.I didnt think much of it until my ear was still swollen, red, bleeding, and painful after 6 months of religious cleaning and care. I have several other difficult cartilage piercings, so I knew the care procedure very well based on various piercer recommendations and personal experience. I took the earring out because I figured it was just rejecting (once again, based on personal experience). I could feel a large crack in the cartilage when I could build up the strength to bear the pain of touching it.HOWEVER, I recently had a different piercing done and the piercer (at a different shop) informed me that my rook cartilage is completely shattered from the initial piercing. He told me that cartilage never fully heals, so the scar and sensitivity will likely remain for years and years. Now, my ear will never look the same, as the shattered cartilage and scar deform a large section of my ear.Im very disappointed that the piercer at Gypsy Hill didnt inform me of the initial issue so I couldve prevented it from the very beginning and avoided months and months of horrible pain. Would not recommend!! I believe the piercing, jewelry, tip, and aftercare supplies added up to around $100. Huge waste of money and energy. Picture below is from 6 months after the piercing was done.

Pat was incredibly kind and informative. He made sure I was aware of every step before moving forward. The best piercing experience Ive ever had out of the four shops I have visited in the past. For the first time I feel confident that Ive found a piercer I can trust and who is looking out for my best interest and health!

Amazing experience with Pat! Went through each and every step of my piercing beforehand, made the process so easy. Such a cool guy! Thank you Pat!

I went today and was able to get a piercing from Pat! This place is absolutely fantastic! The environment is so welcoming and professional. Pat walked me through the entire procedure and answered all of the questions I could have had. Everything was super clean, and you can tell that they care a ton about their customers and take their art very seriously. Im so thankful that they worked me into their schedule. Thank you so much!!!

Kimberly is beyond amazing! I recently did a tattoo session with her and it turned out perfectly! She listened well to the details and my desires for the tattoo. She’s an amazing artist and I definitely plan on going back to her for more tattoo pieces.Pat also recently pierced me. If I could describe him with three words, they would be professional, reliable, and simply amazing. He walked me through the entire process and made it such a great experience. He’s extremely knowledgeable and genuinely cares about his work. Highly recommend!!I highly recommend the shop in general. The staff is very friendly and their work is superb (to say the least).

I just got my first tattoo with, Tyler! It was a great experience and everything I wanted in my first tattoo! The shop was very clean and followed all the necessary protocols for Covid. Everyone was super friendly and helpful! Would highly recommend!

I had a tattoo that didn’t heal well from a previous artist, and Kimberly did my touch up for me. She was so nice and did such a great job. Their new shop is so clean and has great energy. I can’t wait to get my next tattoo here again!

Pat Ronning was outstanding. His work is impeccable. He walked me through everything before he even started, is clearly all about safety and satisfaction, and everything happened exactly as he said it would. I’m super happy with the result. I highly recommend him!

Pat is great!! He did an excellent job piercing my daughter’s cartilage. They were super clean and very thorough with walking us through the process. I highly recommend Pat and Gypsy Hill for any piercing or tattoos.

Jeff was great. He responded quickly to my appointment request. The shop was exceptionally clean. I had sent him the incorrect doc with the wrong font, but he took the time to do the font that I wanted. The tattoo Live Laugh Love...EAT and enjoy looks awesometastic. Will definitely be back to start my sleeve.

Been a few times and it’s a great place! Always clean and friendly, and taking extra precautions during covid. Never had a single issues here and I’m always leaving happy.If anyone is looking for traditional style tattoos, Jeff is the man and I’m extremely happy with his work!

I loved my experience! I had Tyler as my tattoo artist and he was amazing! He talked to me the whole time and calmed me down. Best experience for a first time tattoo getter! Would recommend to anyone!!

I got my nose and ears pierced, the piercer (Pat) was insanely helpful!! I was nervous and he made me feel way more comfortable and talked me through everything. Super highly recommend

I absolutely loved my experience here. Pat was so nice and knowledgeable. He truly takes a care in making sure his clients are well taken care of.

Pat was awesome! He explained everything during the process and was super friendly! Definitely will go to him anytime I need a piercing!

Best place in the triangle to go to. Jeff does great work and will take care of you. Do yourself a favor and go see them for any of your tattoo and piercing needs. You wont be disappointed.

Got my first tattoo at Gypsy Hill from Tyler and it was perfect! He did an awesome job at making sure the experience was comfortable and that the tattoo is exactly what i wanted. The stores very clean and had a great atmosphere. 10/10!

Pat was a helpful, friendly, kind, professional guide into an unfamiliar (for me) world. He inspired total confidence in his work and recommendations.

Great experience! Very professional. Love my new piercing. 10/10 would recommend.

I went in and wanted a butterfly and I asked if I could make it blue, add blue accents. I Immediately was shut down by the owner because she told me “colors don’t show up well on darker skin tones”. She did not offer to color test me. She also failed to explain that it’s not the darkness of my skin that is an issue, it was her ability and resources. I went to a much better shop and got a color tattoo and it looks amazing.

Tyler was amazing! Very good work and easy to talk to! Highly recommend going if you’re looking for some new pieces!

I went to Gypsy Hill to get a double ear piercing in March, and it was super clean and efficient, and the piercings have healed well. I would have given 5 stars, except for the pricing, which was NOT clear or transparent. I was told it would be $20 per ear, which was fine, and I got the least expensive pair of earrings. But then Pitbull charged me a $40 fee for his experience, which would have been fine, except he said nothing about it beforehand, even when I asked for a price, and $100 was more than I was willing to pay for a simple double piercing.

I brought my daughter in to get her ears pierced and could not be more impressed with the whole process. Everything was explained to her through the sterilization process, piercing process and healing process. Most of all she felt cared for confident through it all.

Absolutely amazing employees and amazing vibes within the shop . The moment I walked in I knew I’d be satisfied when I left and I Most definitely was . I’ve had a traumatic past with piercings and my appointment today has refreshed that completely. I’m beyond thankful for the consideration the piercer took for me regarding my story . I’ll definitely be back and will be recommending this shop to all of my people .

I had the pleasure of getting a small tattoo from Kimberly and I am so happy! It was a quick session, everyone was kind, and I definitely have a new place for future tattoos!

Got a tattoo from Jeff B. and he definitely knows what hes doing. Professional, patient, wants to make sure you get exactly what you want. (We went back and forth about some design issues and he worked with me to find solutions). I cant stop looking at the tattoo. Freakin love it!Their shop is very clean, they took COVID-19 measures seriously, and I did not feel uneasy at all. Ill definitely be back to get more from him in the future! Definitely give them a try (best experience Ive had with a tattoo yet!)

I had a great experience with Pat getting my piercings done. The whole process was quick, easy and painless, and the piercings are healing much better than they did the last time. Definitely recommend getting any piercings done here!

Ive had nothing but excellent experiences thus far! Im two sessions in on an arm piece and I cant wait to get back and finish it! Kimberlys vision is amazing!

I got a nostril piercing with Pat. Pat walks you through everything and is very knowledgeable about his work! I eventually want to have a hoop so Pat made sure that placement of piercing would be right for it. If I want anymore piercings, I know where to go!

Very precise, steady hand. Love this tattoo for my first one, he did great! 5/5 definitely want to come bsck

Love the people over at Gypsy Hill! I got a tattoo for my 21st birthday and it healed great and looks amazing. I would recommend them to anyone in the triangle looking for a tattoo. They have a few different tattoo artists with several different styles so chances are they have someone for your needs.

Had my septum piercing by Pat. It was a great experience! I was provided with the all the after care information I needed. Pat was very professional and expertly placed the piercing in the right spot. The shop was also very clean and every safety precaution was taken including masks, gloves,and proper sanitation. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing people, and Tyler killed my tattoo! Super welcoming shop, will be back and recommending to all my friends!:)

Pat was so freaking awesome. I’m happy he was the one to pierce my nose and I will be coming back. Thank you so much :)

Loved my visit! Very professional and personable. Did a perfect job with my piercings!

I called the day they reopened from Covid to make an appointment to get my ears pierced. I was able to come in immediately. Everything was clean. My piercer Pat was great. He help me keep my cool and calm. He used everything new and clean and even gave me the marker he used to put the dots on my lobes since he will not be reusing them on others which is super. Highly recommend!

Tyler was so accommodating as I was here visiting & ran in on such short notice... very gentle hand

Pat was great & made me feel very comfortable. He was informative & broke down the entire process of the piercing to the after care & follow ups. 5/5 would recommend.

Pat pierced my tragus and he did an amazing job. It was my first time piercing something besides my lobes and he made me feel so comfortable and calm. I will definitely go back if I want to get anything else done!

First time getting tattooed here , my second time getting tatted in the us, and I have to say it was a very nice experience and I felt very comfortable!!! Will definitely come again

I had my tattoo done by Kim. I was super impressed by all the precautions the shop took to prevent the spread of COVID. This was my first tattoo and Kim did a great job putting me at ease and answering all my questions. Super happy with her design and I would definitely go back for my next one.

I had Pat design two piercings on my left ear and I absolutely love them!! I 100% recommend going here to get your piercings. Very clean and professional! I will definitely be going back!Thanks Pat!!

Brought my stepson for ear piercing and it would have been so easy for them to make it cool....but they were rude and weird instead. Lack of care and service. I do not recommend at all.

Got a piercing done here and it was absolutely amazing. Price was totally worth the professional atmosphere and cleanliness of the area and the amazing jewelry.

Fantastic experience. Professional, clean, kind, and importantly they prioritize safety. This includes double masks, gloves, and limiting the amount of people in the shop. Cannot recommend more highly.

I got my nose pierced here and it was a really good experience! Piercer Pat is very knowledgable and takes time to explain what he is doing and made the whole experience very calm and low stress. I am very happy with my nose piercing. Definitely want to come back for more piercing and I would recommend going here!

I had an amazing time with Pat. His easygoingness helped calm my nerves, and the entire experience was wonderful. Overall, an incredibly chill guy who’s good at what he does!

A great place with exceptional service and people that care about what they do, what more could you ask for?

Kim was amazing. The place was very sanitary, felt safe in the midst of the COVID 19 pandemic. Great experience, would highly recommend.

Great staff. Super friendly. Clean shop. 10/10 would recommend

All of the artists and piercers are extremely nice and talented. Kim did a piece on my arm today, and it turned out perfect!

Ty was a great, extremely patient artist as I got not one but two different tattoos today, and I will definitely be back!!

Jeff was definitely at the top of my list of tattoo artist in nc!!! 10/10 recommend!! go check em out

Absolutely amazing experience! Kimberly did a fantastic job on my tattoo, which was a cover-up. It exceeded all expectations and I cannot wait to go back to get my next work of art done by her!

Great place! Clean and professional. Jeff was awesome! Will definitely be back soon.

I came in from Chicago and decided to get some piercings done. As nervous as I was, Pat, my piercer, made me feel very comfortable and helped ease my emotions. He was very honest and is very knowledgeable about what he does. I definitely would recommend coming here if you’re looking for someone to make your experience quick but very efficient. He even recommended me to someone he knew from where I’m from in case I had questions.Thanks for my new piercings!! I love them!

We went to Pat to pierce my son’s ears, and I was very happy with how clean everything was, the extra steps they took to sanitize things during COVID, and how well he explained everything. I’ll definitely go back to him for future piercings.

The staff was so friendly and reassuring! I went a little over a year ago to get a small tattoo done and it turned out better than I could have imagined.

This place is awesome, super clean and following social distancing. Went to Tyler and got exactly what I wanted!

Awesome experience with Pat, I was super nervous about getting two piercings at the same time. He took his time and guided me through each step taking the nervousness out of everything

My daughters, girlfriend, and I have had Jeff B. do seven tattoos for us and he does amazing work, from simple, clean lines in black, to finer lines with light color, to full color. His friendly and laid-back approach is great. He took a look at my design and vision for my last one and elevated it beyond what I was expecting. All the others folks there are super friendly too. I will definitely see Jeff again for my next tattoo!

Kimberly is a wonderful artist who gave my mom and I wonderful matching tattoos. She really helped put me at ease as it was my first one, and I absolutely love it!

Wonderful staff and had the best experience. Got exactly what I wanted. Love my tattoos.

Very thorough amazing jewelry choices and great aftercare instructions!

Got a tattoo from my old friend Jack...it turned out oh so beautiful. The place is super clean & the people who work there are lovely. I highly recommend checking out this joint for a tattoo

I really enjoyed my visit. I got my tragus done and it didn’t hurt at all, definitely recommend coming here!!

Amazing work! Can’t wait to finish it up

I did 2 GWYG/Gumball tattoos with Jeff in July. Super clean space, everyone was very nice, and the wrap applied afterwards made for the easiest healing time I’ve had with a tattoo.

First time coming to Gypsy Hill. Very welcoming and friendly. My piercer talked me through everything and was very respectful. Definitely going back again! Thank you Gypsy Hill!!!!

All the staff are so nice!! Pat educates you on everything before the piercing process and really takes care of you the whole way through!! I’ve also gotten tattoos with them and they are super clean and super friendly!! Would definitely recommend to any students, or just tattoo and piercing enthusiast! (PSA, they moved locations to Carrboro)

Got my ears pierced for the first time, and Pat and the other employees were fantastic. They made sure to listen to and respond to my desires, even regauging other gems so that I could get what I really wanted. Would gladly go back again should the need arise, thanks!

Piercing went great and the artist was very nice, thorough, and clean.

Pat’s super knowledgeable and a total gem. I had a good experience
