Best Ear Piercing Near Me in Byward Market, Ottawa

It has been 46 years since my last piercing. I was apprehensive, but Manu walked me through everything and was very reassuring and professional. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

My twelve-year-old daughter and I had such a positive experience getting pierced by Charlotte! She was so warm and welcoming, and put both of us at ease right away. She was very thorough and precise when deciding where exactly to pierce us (lobes for kiddo, helix for me), working with our own unique anatomy while leaving the option open for future piercings. The actual procedure itself was so quick with minimal fuss. Thank you Charlotte and Vanity for such an empowering experience.

Charlotte was amazing! Her patience, kindness, and openness created a safe & comfortable space for me to ask questions and talk through different ideas, and her explanations made it clear she is beyond competent :) I was getting piercings to honour someone who has passed and she created an environment & experience that was perfect - THANK YOU!!

Alex was great! / Alex était super et il est bilingue :) He was calm and his instructions were very clear. He took the time to answer all my questions; I never felt rushed. I will definitely go back for future piercing and jewelry :)

I met with Keri and she helped me select my hardware upgrade. She was on time, professional and very thorough in her suggestions and care of my piercings and what was feasible. I had a wonderful experience start to finish, and i love the appointment only concept at Vanity, it not only results in a really tailored experience but it makes things really efficient and organized. Also their selection of jewelry is bar none, best i've seen in a long time for the Curated ear! Thank you!

Manu is such a wonderful piercer. She did my 11 year old daughter’s ears, my nostril and just added a gorgeous stacked lobe. She is so friendly, has great taste and makes you feel really at ease by letting you know every step of the process. I would 100% recommended her to anyone looking for a relaxed and thoughtful piercing atmosphere.

Love how knowledgeable Tine was when they were checking out my ears as I came in wanting a conch but due to anatomy; I came out with a daith. They're amazing and easy-going through the piercing process.

I had such an amazing first piercing with you guys. The atmosphere surround your store was so amazing and welcoming. When I did my research I chose your store for how professional it looked, and the story behind it. I was more then happy to find a piercing studio that was Indigenous and lgbtq+ owned/run! As someone who is a part of the LGBTQ+ community I felt very safe in my decision. Marie was my piercer, and was THE BEST piercer I could have ever asked for! She was kind, gentle, and walked me through every step of the way. I’ll be coming back whenever I decide on my next piercing for sure!

I had a wonderful experience at Vanity. Carnie was my piercer and proposed an amazing idea that strongly complimented the anatomy of my ear. I’ve had over a dozen piercings done (years ago and elsewhere) and this was the first time I felt that a piercer took their time to listen to me. As a result I was confident in the outcome and placement of the proposed piercings. Carnie communicates everything clearly, is approachable and made me feel comfortable. It is obvious they love their craft. I will get pierced by them again.

Such a great selection of products. Manu was incredible in helping me find what I liked and answering all the questions I had about my old piercings (and possible future ones!). She also explained everything she was doing as she put in my new earrings for me which I really appreciated - even though I wasn't getting pierced I was still nervous so having her talk to me throughout and explain the process made it a very enjoyable experience. Super excited to come back in the future for more jewelry and future piercings!

I believe her name is Maria. She was great. Made the experience comfortable, knowledgeable. The place feels relaxing. Which made the process not overwhelming. This was my first time getting a piercing(nose). Definitely thinking about coming in again to get a few ear-piercing next.

The team at Vanity Ottawa are friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Fortunately, they also had exactly what I was looking for as far as jewelry, and I even had the opportunity to consult Alex on piercings I want to acquire in the future. In fact, I am writing this before booking my next appointment.

Clean, professional, fresh environment. The atmosphere of the space and employees relaxed me. High quality products. Alex really took his time with me, answering any questions, and filling in information gaps that I didn’t think to ask about. As a result, I now have a double helix and faith piercing that I absolutely love and am fully confident will heal perfectly. Looking forward to my next visit to downsize my posts.

My experience at Vanity was a 10 out of 10. I am so glad that I chose to have my piecing done at this location. Tine was very knowledgeable, she was able to answer all my questions and provided at ton of information. I was extremely nervous about getting my piercing done, as I am terrified of needles.. Tine made me feel comfortable and relaxed. It was a good vibe and I would strongly recommend anyone that is looking to get a piecing at Vanity to just do it!!!!! thanks again Vanity!!! I absolutely loooooooooove my piercing!!

Choosing Vanity for my nose ring was the right choice! The reception, led by Ellie, and my Piercer, Tine, created a warm atmosphere. Tine's professionalism and kindness, along with her guidance in selecting a tailored nose ring, impressed me. Her patience and extensive knowledge provided valuable insights on brands, upkeep, and maintenance. Tine's thorough explanation of paperwork ensured I was well-informed. Throughout the piercing, her gentle and professional demeanor instilled ease. I highly recommend Tine and look forward to returning for more. Thanks for a positive experience!

Kyle was very friendly and expertly guided me through my first piercing. He was very thorough with sanitation, and was super clear with aftercare instructions. Super happy with the result!

A really good experience over all, it felt professional and caring. A couple points is that the info could be a bit overwhelming, I would've appreciated a bit less/more succinctness. Also I would've appreciated a warning for the piercing, something like "in the next minute, I'll be piercing your ear". A very positive experience overall, Kyle really knows his stuff and you can tell cares a lot about making it a good experience for the client.

As a first time customer , first time getting a piercing , I highly recommend, very clean set up, also very professional attitude ,

Kyle was amazing, professional and fun to get pierced by. I will be going back to him for any new piercings or service’s related to piercings for sure and I would most definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a good piercer.

Kyle is kind and knowledgeable. He is very patient and will take the time to ensure that you understand all of the steps prior to piercing. He’s calm and cool and very adept at what he does.

Kyle is absolutely amazing! He’s very thorough and explains not only what to do for aftercare, but also why. I got my 11th and 12th piercings yesterday with Kyle and it was by far my best experience! If you’re looking at getting a piercing, especially if it’s your first and you’re nervous, Kyle is your guy!
