Anchor Hot Springs

I was first blown away by the overall aesthetic of the shop upon first impression, someone has gone really above and beyond when handpicking the color schemes and display cases with a Curiosities Shop style motif. I was checked in by a sweet lady who was really confident in her job and made the check in process extremely streamlined via tablet with a clean workspace and very organized as opposed to other places still using pen and paper. She was patient as I picked out my jewelry and was quickly knowledgeable on costs. My anatomy was checked by Dustin and it was a very short wait for my jewelry to be sterilized, just enough time to check out some more of the cool but minimalistic decor in the lobby, wet specimens and gorgeous butterflies. In comes Dustin with a warm welcome asking if I wanted to be accompanied by my partner but hey I’m big girl and knocked it out like a champ. 😂 The decor in the back was just as mind blowing and inviting in the back as well. Dustin was very kind with a humble smile. The piercing process was extremely quick, not even enough time to get nervous and I barely even felt a thing! I checked out my new shiny face adornment in the mirror and he straightened it real quick without even me asking so I was able to leave the shop looking my best. He quickly and confidently went over some aftercare information. Back out to the sales counter I went to pay which was very streamlined as well, offered aftercare product, and a quick reminder again on aftercare. I left my tip and out the door my partner and I went to enjoy the rest of our excursion of Hot Springs for the day, satisfied by this wonderful, professional, clean, and knowledgeable studio.

Absolutely fantastic experience here today. I'd messaged earlier in the week to get an idea of what jewelry they had and invited me to come see. I was very lucky and found something I really liked, and they happened to have an opening right then. I believe in general, they prefer to have appointments, but you might get lucky and walk in at the right time. The piercing cost for me was 20$, and their jewelry starts at 40 per piece and goes up from there, but it's all very high quality. The piercing process itself was crazy quick and besides the obvious poke, it was over so fast and easily I was amazed. Dustin really does fantastic work. Thank you all so much!!

I have never been to a piercing place with such a cool vibe and aesthetic. The jewelry selection is amazing, and Dustin is highly qualified for sure! He was very welcoming and calm, and my vertical labret piercing hasn’t swollen at all! They give you a whole pamphlet of information and I was never confused. I highly recommend this shop.

Anchor is a very professional, clean, and aesthetically-pleasing shop. Dustin has years of experience and precision. I came to my appointment uncertain about which jewelry to choose. Alizabeth working the front counter was very helpful and kind. She assisted me in choosing a statement piece for my new conch piercing. As someone who appreciates fine jewelry for their beauty and metaphysical properties, I was happy that they had an option that was crafted from 18K and set with amethysts. This is jewelry that is meant to be appreciated for many years. I definitely recommend Anchor. Dustin truly cares about his work and makes the client feel comfortable. The experience was not painful.

This is an excellent piercing studio! Everyone here is awesome, knowledgeable, and very friendly. Dustin pierced my septum and did a phenomenal job! Like most people, my nose is not perfectly straight, but Dustin placed my piercing perfectly, and it looks great! They also have an impressive selection of beautiful jewelry to choose from.

I had a fantastic experience here with the piercer Dustin. I just got married and wanted to get a nose piercing that indicates marriage in the middle-eastern cultures where we hope to travel. Dustin showed my husband and I a bunch of options for his gauged ears, and the shop has a truly beautiful and unique variety for all types of jewelry. The piercing itself was the smoothest and most painless out of any of my 6 piercings. His skill level and confidence of the piercing itself were amazing. It really is so much more worthwhile to go to a professional piercer, instead of going to someone with a primary focus on tattooing that happens to do piercing on the side. I made an appointment for 12, and I am very happy I did because it seems like the shop is very successful! When we came out, there was a wait and people who were coming in, hoping to be seen. Having an appointment ensured that I was seen that day and allowed Dustin to block out his time accordingly and professionally.
