Loved the experience!! Will be back for sure
Rob made sure I wasn’t allergic to any of the gloves and he made sure I was comfortable. Automatically better than any piercer I’ve been to.
Got my flat piercing here very little to no pain! Very professional and knowledgeable
Rob (rod haha) was incredibly patient & kind. I got my seconds pierced and was simply and easy to do. Definitely worth it@
Excellent experience getting my triple lobes!! Rob was wonderful, gentle and efficient! 10/10, would recommend!!

Had a great piercing experience with Rob! He’s knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He was understanding and patient as someone who is nervous around needles. Would definitely come back!
Excellent place to get a piercing! I had a great experience here with Rob.
Rob is so thorough and gentle! Cant recommend enough! Super clean shop!
Went to new wave for the first time and felt nothing but great vibes all around, Rob is very knowledgeable and has a beautiful selection of jewelry! I love my new flat piercing 🩷🙌
Rob is my go to when it comes to piercings! Been going to him for over a year now and he never disappoints. Very honest and educated when it comes to your anatomy! I can promise that he is worth the time and money🫶🏼
Worst experience ever! The guy messed up the spacing on my 2nd piercing on my right ear, as you can see the 2nd and 3rd piercings are touching each other. I had to let them close and have them done somewhere else. Such a waste of money and such a bad job
Rob, owner of New Wave Body Art Studio, is a true pro! My piercing was completely painless, precise, and done in a spotless, relaxing studio. The team was friendly and knowledgeable. It healed perfectly with zero issues. Drove from Gurnee and it was 100% worth it. Highly recommend Rob—you won’t regret it!

Rob is amazing. He is so knowledgeable about his craft, from jewlery to anatomy and piecing placement/technique. He was able to do a piercing for my daughter and open an old piercing for me that we really wanted and were told weren’t possible. Perfect experience.

I walked in sans appointment to get an ear piercing, and was looked after by Rob. He was fantastic, is very skilled at what he does, and was very patient as I explained what I was looking for. He even suggested an alternative to what I was initially looking for, and I came back after my first piercing to get what he…
First time here visiting and the place is super clean and a very chill vibe . Came in to switch some of my piercings and Jess the piercer is amazing. Jess has done a few of my piercings in the past and they are the only one I will trust. Jess was knowledgeable about all piercings and is super fun and easy to talk…
I had Jess and Gabby as my piercers. They are the nicest people! Very friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient with their time. Will definitely be my new piercing spot.
I’ve gotten four piercings done by Rob (second lobe, forward helix, hidden helix, and a flat) and I had an amazing experience both times I was at his studio! Rob was very professional and clearly had a ton of knowledge and experience piercing. My second lobe has healed beautifully without any issues and I was able…
