“Highest rec for Vanta Piercing. I’ve worked with Matt Mayfield at Vanta on four piercings and counting—helixes, tragus, and industrial. Matt is amazing at what he does, helpful in answering questions, healing and maintenance info and advice, and doing any follow-up maintenance, and that’s why I happily keep coming back. They love what they do at Vanta, working with clients to get them exactly the look and feel they want—and it really shows. And Matt treats his clients like the relationship it is, not just an impersonal transaction. The results look and feel incredible, and I always walk out of his studio with a smile.

“I had such a great experience at Vanta! Matt is not only incredibly talented but also professional, patient, and detail-oriented. I came in hoping to re-pierce my belly button after it had completely closed up, and he handled it perfectly.

He took the time to assess the area carefully, explained the process, and made sure I felt totally comfortable the entire time. The studio was super clean and well-organized, and you can tell he takes pride in maintaining high hygiene standards.

The re-piercing itself was quick and surprisingly painless — way better than the first time I ever had it done! It looks great and is healing beautifully. I couldn’t be happier with the result.

If you’re looking for a clean, professional piercing experience — whether it’s your first time or a re-piercing like mine — I 100% recommend Vanta. Thank you again!”

“Walked in to Memorial Brooklyn to get my first nose piercing today and I honestly hope that everyone’s first piercing experience could be the same as mine. I was delightfully greeted as soon as I walked in and After a very short wait I was greeted by Matt who would be my piercer, plus an absolute angel. After introducing himself he walked me over to view and select the perfect piece of jewelry for my new piercing and helped me with precise placement. After thoroughly discussing my expectations I was able to commit to a beautiful piece of jewelry which I expect to wear on my face for a very long time. Matt shared a great amount of information and expertise which made me feel at ease with my decisions. I highly recommend Memorial Brooklyn and Matt for any of their services offered.

If you go to Memorial Brooklyn you will not feel rushed or shorted as they take their time and are true professionals in every sense of the word.”

“Great experience. Walked in and the service was fast, professional, and basically painless (lobes) got titanium jewelry and it's healing beautifully. Thanks!”

— Ava M.

“After getting a dozen piercings, Matt provided the best experience I've had so far! He was patient, steady-handed, and really thoughtful with his advice. I got a helix piercing a couple of weeks ago, and I can confidently say that it's the most painless healing process I've gone through yet — I genuinely forget that I recently got my ear pierced because there was no swelling or discomfort at all, and I'm definitely chalking it up to Matt's skill. I wasn't particularly budget-constrained for this particular appointment, but I was still very appreciative of how reasonably priced the jewelry options are. Would absolutely go back in a heartbeat.”

— Pei C.

“I am so impressed by this piercing studio. From the quality of their jewelry to their customer care, cleanliness, and piercing services - 10/10 recommend! Matt helped me style my ear and was highly knowledgeable about which piercings would work best for my ear shape. They even sent an aftercare plan straight to my email for easy access. I will be going back for more jewelry and piercings!”

— Lindsey W.

“I got my nostril pierced today by Matt and he was amazing. I was so nervous asking a million questions but he was so patient. I was worried about how bad it would hurt but he did it so quickly it wasn't nearly as painful as I expected!! He was great! Matt explained everything he was doing and gave me aftercare instructions and his card if I had any questions.”

— M’Lynn T.

“Vanta Piercing Studio was recommended to me by a friend, and I'm really glad I went. Walking in immediately put me at ease—the space is bright, relaxing, and has a cool tattoo-parlor vibe. I'm usually nervous and sensitive to pain, but Matt was very professional and attentive, making the process surprisingly easy and painless. I was able to sleep comfortably on my new piercing within a week, and it healed really well. He also fixed a couple of previous piercings that hadn't been done properly elsewhere. I've already recommended Vanta to friends and would definitely go back.”

From the minute we walked in the door, I felt extremely calm and in good hands -- the shop is super clean and professional. Matt in particular was such a delight and I feel really lucky that we chose this place. He has the most kind and friendly manner, really put the two of us at ease, and also did a great job on both piercings. You could tell that he didn't take the task of making a modification to your body lightly and that he treated the situation with genuine care. I will definitely go back the next time I want a piercing, and would recommend you do the same! Thanks Matt!”
