One customer said, "Sarah did an amazing job! She was very professional and my piercings only took 5 minutes or so. Will be going back again soon to get some more piercings and maybe tattoos!"
However, some customers have had negative experiences with the studio. One customer complained about the piercing process, saying, "Jamie Rio did my septum piercing two days ago. She did not use clamps, a countdown, or otherwise warn me before piercing me. Septum piercings aren't supposed to hurt the way mine did, and I knew it. It was a solid 7/10 on pain."
The studio's prices are on the higher side, with a piercing costing $25 and the cheapest threadless stud costing $20. The studio urges customers to make an appointment online, which is highly convenient. However, some customers have complained about the studio's misleading information regarding COVID-19 protocols. One customer said, "The website urges you to make an appointment online and tells you that you need to wear a mask and provide a vaccine card upon entering. When I arrived, no one was wearing masks and no one asked to see my card, which was fine, just misleading."
Overall, Evil by the Needle Custom Tattoo and Piercing Studio is a good option for those looking for tattoos and piercings. However, customers should be aware of the mixed reviews and the higher prices.

Great experience, Kasey was a miracle worker when I brought her what I had, she made a huge mess into a beautiful tattoo. Great job guys.
Only downside is they are super busy so book them up now!

I hate pain and needles, so I was very nervous getting this piercing. My piercer, Sarah, was very kind and reassuring, explaining the process thoroughly and giving me suggestions. She was patient and did not rush the process at all. After the piercing, which was quick and not as painful as I had expected, she explained how to take care of it and answered all of my questions. If Iβm ever brave enough to get another piercing, I am definitely coming back!

Jon Rio has done my first tattoo and every other one since then... There are undoubtedly many artists to choose from in Bloomington, but I will continue to go back to Jon. Every tattoo he has given me, I can't imagine having in any other way. Clearly he has a versatile style and can tattoo anything. Look at the line work on that bottle and the shading on that boxer. The dude knows what he's doing and he's super nice. Real patient dude with me wanting to move the stencil 3 times before I take a seat. He's the real deal, strait up! Of course, I have been pierced here as well and once again, it's just always a great experience. Definitely book an appt with Jon if you are thinking about getting tatted any time soon!

Jamie pierced my doubles (ear lobe) and septum, and both appointments were quick, efficient, and super clean. Jamie is easy to talk to and clearly a professional at what she does. Super happy with the results. I'll definitely be back in the future.

The venue is clean and in a good location. I went to get my nostril re-pierced. Piercing costs $25 and the website urges you to make an appointment online which was highly convenient. They also tell you online, in no uncertain terms, that you needed to wear a mask and provide a vaccine card upon entering. I called in advance and asked if I could show them a copy of it since I was in the area on vacation; that was fine. When I arrived no one was wearing masks and no one asked to see my card, which was fine, just misleading. If you aren't doing it anymore than just say so.
The studs are exorbitant in price. The cheapest threadless stud was $20. It is titanium but it's absolutely tiny. They quickly went up in price. A shape was $25, a rhinestone, $30. They told me that with threadless studs you have a base piece and the tips can be interchangeable. I asked how much the tips were. Same price, you're buying the base regardless. Well, that really isn't much of an incentive, is it?
When I was taken back for the piercing I asked them to walk me through the process. I'm sure they are used to people getting freaked and walking but it had been ten years and I wanted to know beforehand so I would be prepared. The artist refused to give me details, had me lay down and quickly pierced my nose inside out. Last time I was sitting upright in a chair with a cork up my nose and they pierced me outside in. Huge difference. The shock was awful, I really could have done with her explaining it instead of just treating me like a 5 year old getting a shot.
So far the healing has been good and the piercing looks great. But the experience could have been far smoother.

Got a navel piercing here! Sarah was amazing. The atmosphere was really nice too. Definitely recommend!

Jamie was clearly very experienced with the cleanliness, professionalism, and the way that I was comfortable with asking questions. I got double lobes done (4 total at once) and she was nice about providing information since I hadn't received that much from a previously botched piercing (from a different place). Definitely would return for any other piercings I might get in the future.

The vibes here are amazing. Jamie has done almost all my piercings, Sarah has done 2. Both are super professional, easy to talk too and make you feel comfortable. I continue to book here despite having to make a 1.5 hr drive each time. Itβs worth it. Kasey has done 2 tattoos for me so far and theyβve both turned out wonderful! Thank you!!

Sarah was awesome! She did a really good job in making sure I was comfortable especially for a double piercing. I would 100% go back. Very clean and great sanitation process.
Vivianne Leland
Absolutely amazing. Sarah did a bridge piercing for me and she really took her time making sure the placement was perfect. Once she actually stuck the needle through it felt like a grand total of ten seconds and I was completely done. She was super friendly and im in love with the results. I will be back!
