Anchor Hot Springs

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.

The building is nice and so is the jewelry, but the guy in there is rude and cold. I went in there for a consult without an appointment during midday and the guy basically berated me for not having an appointment and talked down to me while I was trying to discuss jewelry options. There was no one else in the building and I have been here previously without an appointment. I didn’t have the anatomy to do the piercing that I wanted which is fine, but some Customer service skills would be nice. I have bought several pieces of jewelry at this store in the past couple of years and this isn’t the first time Dustin has been cold.

My favorite place to get pierced, and the only place in Hot Springs I'd ever recommend to anyone!! Good quality jewelry and a gentle hand go a long way and Anchor piercing has both of those things! I've gotten eight piercings there and would absolutely go for more.

i got my septum done by Dustin. I didn't really get any information on the piercing and he didn't tell me what he would do, and it did not feel welcoming. He pierced it and it was crooked and so he had to go back and stab my septum again and it went through my cartilage in the middle of my nostrils. The pain was immense. He said that when it heals, it won't be so crooked. I hope what he says is true. I love the piercing regardless, just gave a 3 star due to the misplacement and unwelcoming vibes. I am seeing a lot of other reviews saying he is a wonderful piercer, so maybe he was just having a bad day. Very cool piercing studio overall 👍

Had the best experience. He explained the process and my nose piercing came out beautiful! Also the girl up front I think her was Elizabeth, was the sweetest. I will be back for all of my future piercings.

The staff at Anchor are always welcoming and very professional. The piercer makes me feel like I'm in good hands, as he is very knowledgeable. I'll never use another piercing shop!

Extremely clean and professional! The piercer Dustin is amazing, he is very kind and reassuring. I refuse to go anywhere else because he is THE BEST.

Me and my sister came in around January 29th and the two girls at the desk were extremely rude. We were asking simple questions because we have never been pierced before and they looked at us like we were stupid. We didn’t want to come back but it was the closest piercer to us. We called beforehand to set an appointment for a downsize. She said we could come in to have it looked at because some ppl don’t need a downsize( however they said they recommend a downsize when she went and got it done) we walk in and they tell us that you have to wait 3 months but that wasn’t ever mentioned on the phone. We might have misunderstood the 3 month wait but that does excuse their attitude both times we’ve been here. As we left two women behind us came out talking about how bad their experience was as well and the owner came outside and walked up to us to see what our problem was in a rude manner. We told them it was fine because we didn’t want to be talked to with the same disrespect as we’ve been getting. Overall extremely rude people and bad experience. We will not be back.

Quick, informative, professional. Affordable. Dustin is PPA Certified, the jewelry supplied is high quality. I plan on going back for more piercings.

The receptionist wasn't very friendly. They didn't show me any high end jewelry. Which was fine with me, but they could've made a lot more money.
