My daughter and I have been pierced and purchased jewelry from AJ for 5+ years. I found him when searching for someone to fix a poorly done piercing for my daughter. As long as we live in the area, we won’t go anywhere else. His professionalism, breadth of knowledge, attention to detail, and impeccable safety procedures are second to none. He goes beyond industry standards and best practices to be safe and make his clients happy. We are SO happy we found AJ!!!!!

Brought our not quite 4 year old daughter her for her first ear piercing. AJ was very patient with her and great at explaining what he was doing and why. He went at her pace and waited for her to calm down a bit before going to the next ear. Wonderful experience all around.

Review:
Reddit gives AJ two thumbs up! Seriously, this guy is amazing. I was hesitant (and quite nervous) to get my septum pierced because it was my first piercing. After searching on Reddit for the best professional body piercers, a large number of people recommended AJ, with one user claiming, "no matter how long the drive, it's well worth it to see AJ," and how right they were! I drove over an hour to see AJ, and from minute one, he was down to Earth and very friendly. He took care to go over the sanitation process and describe exactly what he was about to do. You can tell this guy really loves what he does, because he makes sure everything is perfect - from the sanitation, to the position of the piercing, to making you feel comfortable and at ease - the whole nine. If I decide to get any more piercings in the future, AJ is my guy. I would, without a doubt, recommend AJ for anyone looking to get their piercing done the right way.

I received a conch piercing from AJ a few months ago. I was very hesitant to get my ears pierced again (I've had bad experiences with cartilage piercings in the past) but AJ put me at ease and reassured me that it could heal properly. He took the time to answer all of my crazy, over-thought questions. I've been to other piercers that have a "too cool" vibe, but AJ was very easy to talk to. He was completely professional. I'll definitely go back to him if I ever need anything else and recommend him to anyone in the area looking for a piercing.

A.J. did an amazing job at calming my nerves before my rook piercing. He walked me through the entire process and showed me how he sterilizes all of the instruments used for a piercing. A.J. consulted me about my helix piercing done at an under qualified studio and gave his professional input. I could not be happier with my experiences with him, looking forward to getting more piercings from him.

Review:
AJ has pierced my nipples, navel & inner conch, as well as ordered jewelry for me for a piercing he didn't do. Based on my experience with him- I must say AJ is extremely knowledgeable in his craft! Patient with answering all my questions in relation to the piercing and jewelry cost & even with my anxiety. He's sanitary and very personable and an all around awesome guy that truly cares about his clientele. Through conversations I have had with him -he does not appear to be in the business for profit but because it's something he really loves to do. I will go to him over and over again and refer anyone I can to him. I am so confident in his work that I refuse to go to anyone else for my piercing and/or jewelry needs. Thank you AJ.

I highly recommend AJ. He pierced my nose a few months ago and I just got a daith piercing done. He is very knowledgeable and very funny. He is great at making you feel comfortable and at ease. I will definitely go to him for any other piercings that I may get. 12 ounce studios is a very clean studio and AJ makes sure that you are in the room while he is sterilizing everything. Definitely 4 out of 4 stars.

AJ IS NOTHING LESS THAN AWESOME. KNOWLEDGEABLE, PROFESSIONAL & UNDERSTANDING and quite frankly I will never go to anyone again. AJ was awesome while piercing my nipples- His cleanliness is impeccable, the jewelry options available exceed "standard" jewelry available at most shops, and his knowledge is by far unmatched. He genuinely cares about the piercee & is awesome with providing the step by step process of what he will be doing from the moment he starts his consultation and he's very honest. My experience with him has made me consider other piercings. He's the go to piercer. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

I have been getting pierced since I was 18, and A.J. is the only piercer I would let touch me. He is the definition of professional and he is amazing at what he does. If I ever had a problem with irritation or questions he did not hesitate to help. I know when I see him that I'm going to leave with a quality piercing and quality jewelry. He is the only guy I recommend if you want the job done right!

AJ is the best piercer! I asked for a double tragus piecing, and then a single on the other ear, and I was absolutely stunned. It turned out sooo well! My tragus is tiny, and he perfectly succeeded in performing the double piercing! It looks great and I am thoroughly impressed! He is very easy to talk to and tells you everything you need to know about your piercing and its aftercare. The rest of 12 oz Studios staff is great as well!! Thank you so much AJ! I will recommend you to everyone who is looking to get a piercing of any kind!

Review:
I went to AJ to get my naval pierced with my sister who got her nose pierced. It was my first body piercing and I was terrified! When I got there, AJ immediately assured me it would be okay and explained everything to me. He helped to pick out my jewelry, and even used an electrolysis bath (?) to add oxide layers to the metal to turn it blue for me! The jewelry was gorgeous! When it came time for the piercing, he explained how it was sterilized and I felt very confident that he was using the cleanest materials. He pierced my sisters nose first. The process was so quick and painless I was amazed! It looks great. He then began to line up my piercing. He asked me to make sure it was straight and was not at all upset about adjusting it to my satisfaction. I laid down and he told me to breathe, then it was over within 30 seconds! There was almost no pain! It was completely straight and looked awesome. AJ explained how to take care of the piercing and told us to contact him should we need to. It has been a week and the piercing is healing great! I'm so happy with it and plan on coming back for more piercings! I've been recommending him to everyone! Thank you AJ!

Review:
I just went to AJ so he could pierce my forward helix & tragus, he did an amazing job. He's so gentle & really calms your nerves. I was so nervous when I went in, but that quickly went away. I really love that he proved that all of his jewelry was properly sterilized. Not all piercers do that. I've been told that tragus piercings hurt a lot, that's why I was so nervous. But to be honest, I didn't feel a thing, even with my forward helix. I felt nothing. He was so gentle with the piercings that I didn't feel any pain or discomfort. I would definitely recommend going to AJ. I've had a great experience with him & I'll definitely be back for more :) thanks AJ!!!

Hands down it gets no better in south jersey. I had researched body modification and piercing and considered stretching my earlobes for some time now. When I stumbled on AJ 's website and read and re-read his informative explanations I knew where I was going. Its great to mention he is the ONLY member of APP. check their site as well. AJ made my visit virtually painless. Cleanliness, a sterile environment and a down to earth personality made my experience a good one. Skip the mall and those back door back bathroom basement style places. Do not fret over cost. That is the one thing I did not even concern myself about. Good work is not cheap and cheap work aint good. With that being said ,I found 12 oz to be reasonable and AJ not only started me in a higher gauge ,he did not try to sell me higher priced jewelry or unnecessary products. Oh yeah, before I forget : TIP YOUR ARTIST !!

I drove over 2 hours to come see you this weekend and it was so well worth the trip! You are a consumate professional, yet super easy to laugh and joke around with. You helped to make me far more comfortable than I ever expected I could be when getting my nipples (and earlobes) pierced. I will recommend you to anyone who is looking for a great piercer, you are definitely "top shelf, no dust" in my book! And I will be back, eventually, just have to decide what I want to do next. :) Thank you again SO MUCH for a great experience, you ROCK at what you do, and you're a pretty cool guy besides! ;)

I have had many piercings/tattoos and have never truly been loyal. When I went to AJ tonight- he completely changed my mind. I would NEVER send my friends or family to anyone else for piercings. He knew the science behind the work- he truly cares. Not only were my piercings painless- he explained the process of them as if they were something that he truly cared about. AJ is the real deal. He is not in this for money or Fame, but he wants to teach, inform, and educate about his passion- piercing. I appreciate my entire experience- I got the most painless piercing I have ever received, got a step-by-step tutorial about the entire process, and was coached about aftercare. I am amazed by AJ's talent and Passion and I will never refer anyone in the area to anyone else. Thanks, boy! You're amazing!

Review:
Before discovering the Association of Professional Piercers and A.J. himself, I was being pierced at a place I thought was so amazing until after research I found out that they were selling me low quality externally threaded jewelry, that could have been made of god knows what, that and charging me the same amount that high quality jewelry costs. Once I found A.J. I had to go visit him, Going to his studio was a completely different experience than I had ever had at a piercer. I wasn't pushed into buying soap to clean my piercing with, which I know now is outdated and not needed to clean fresh piercings, h2ocean when I could just buy a saline wound wash at the pharmacy and mouth wash for oral piercings that they told me to dilute now I know if a mouth wash needs to be diluted it is too harsh to be near a fresh piercing. He also has made me feel so comfortable about every procedure, has explained everything he was doing before he does it, he is also very detailed in his explanations and is very knowledgeable. A.J. has pierced my septum, two lip piercings, my daith and my tragus. He's also downsized and changed most of my jewelry. I've brought quite a few of my friends to visit him also and have recommended him to everyone I know. I will continue to recommend him and members of the Association of Professional Piercers because I have never seen piercers that genuinely care so much about the healthy, safety and happiness of their customers. If you're considering going to A.J. to receive a piercing or to buy high quality jewelry, you're making the right choice.

Just saw AJ this evening to get my nipples pierced! From the get go, I was at ease with him. He's got a good "bedside manner", if you will, and explained everything he was doing in detail, including the autoclave process. I was confident that I was getting clean and quality service! During the actual piercing, he was great. He let me know when to expect the most pain, and when it would subside. The placement and jewelry look great, and I will definitely be recommending AJ to anyone looking to get pierced!

After months of research I finally came across A.j.! He was kind enough to consult with me through email as I live a little under 2 hours away. Once I got to the studio he put me as ease from my being nervous, explained the entire procedure and aftercare. He's extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to and even took the time out to give me a little lesson about the art that adorns his walls. I now recommend A.j. to everyone and once you have the chance to be pierced by him you will surely know why!

Review:
I had my nostril pierced by AJ at the beginning of June (the first of the month). This was my first facial piercing, first time at a legit piercing parlor, and initially, I wanted to have my septum done, but due to some general anxiety of my own (and the fact that I think my mother would have had a coronary), I just decided to go with the nostril piercing. I went with my friend (who wanted to watch the procedure) and AJ was super professional, explaining the whole process and showing me how everything was sterilized. I think he changed his gloves like twelve times. I was nervous about being pierced but AJ put me and my friend at ease, cracking a few jokes and talking to us about music and stuff. I'll probably be back in the winter once I've mustered up enough courage to have my septum pierced. Pretty awesome first experience! I don't think I'd go anywhere else!

I have been wanting to get my ears pierced and then stretch them for a few years now. i researched different techniques and jewelry material. i also looked up piercers in my area and i found AJ's site and his Facebook group for asking professional piercers questions. AJ seemed extremely professional and knowledgeable so i decided he was the only person that i wanted to pierce me. i chose to get my earlobes pierced at 8 gauge and then immediately stretched to a 6 gauge after talking to AJ about the pros and cons of each method and size. The studio was beyond my expectations. Extremely neat and clean with an awesome assortment of jewelry. The piercing i got was at a larger gauge so i was expecting some pain but AJ made me feel relaxed and comfortable about it and the pain was minimal. They had everything i needed for aftercare plus jewelry for the future. i wont go to anyone else for another piercing and i plan on getting my conch pierced in the near future.

Customer review from Nikki

Review:
As a parent, I was skeptical of my daughter's desire for various piercings. As a realist, I understood that in a year or so, I will have no input or say on what she does, and therefore I consented to her request, with the caveat that she allow me to research the most knowledgeable, clean, and in my opinion, best candidate for the job. AJ Goldman not only met my standards, but he exceeded them. He was very forthright on what piercings would fit (her ear) and what options she had (enforcing the fact that, regardless of parental consent, you must be 18 for any industrial piercings). I found his demeanor to be very friendly, professional, and patient -taking the time to honestly answer my myriad of questions. I felt that AJ provided us with a thorough understanding of himself, his practice, as well as educating us on the necessary information pertinent to our daughter's piercing(s). Most importantly, he made my daughter at ease and making her comfortable, and even went as far as to explain that certain piercings, such as the one my daughter initially requested, were not suited to her body type. You will not find many professionals who care more about the client than their cash. I would (and now have) recommended AJ, to anyone interested in any piercings, no matter the type or body location.

I had my labret pierced by AJ after walking in with just some questions. AJ's knowledge of piercing was amazing. I am black male so there are chances for me to keloid. AJ knew of different skin types reacting different ways and after talking discussing my odds along other piercings i have already had. I felt comfortable and decided right then and there to get pierced. Any and all piercings from now on will be done AJ. If your not sure or have questions just walk in ask for AJ and talk to him no pressure no charges for answering question just a cool dude with a ton of knowledge.
Customer review from Charlee (taken from our Yelp reviews)
Review:
12 oz. Studios is top-notch when it comes to tattooing and piercing.
AJ pierced my rook back in July (he's at the Deptford location now) and it was really a great experience. The entire shop was immaculate and all the staff were very friendly. AJ is extremely professional and skilled at what he does, but he also has a great way of making the customer feel very comfortable. He explained everything he was doing, used sterile equipment right out of the packaging, and pierced me quickly and almost painlessly! It is obvious AJ really cares about his craft, and he's got the portfolio to prove it. He educated me on my new piercing and piercings in general, and made sure I did not walk out of that shop without knowing exactly how to care for it. Seriously a truly talented guy. Also, they have a great selection of high-quality body jewelry and everything is fairly priced.
I have not personally experienced the tattoo end of 12 oz, but I know plenty of people who have. The work is consistently amazing; expertly done and beautiful!
I came to 12 oz from the Atlantic City area because they are just that good. I would not go anywhere else for a piercing.

AJ did both of my nipple piercings in early January, 2012. I was nervous beforehand but once I got into the piercing room, AJ helped me be more comfortable by explaining everything he was doing. He was very professional and helped distract me from thinking about the pain by talking to me constantly. He warned me when it was going to hurt and helped me get through it all. He explained the proper aftercare procedures and I was able to contact him through facebook or by phone if I had any more questions. Unfortunately about 2 months through, I had to take my piercings out but I plan on going back to AJ to get them redone soon. He's the only piercer I'll ever trust!

A.J. has done a total of 5 micro dermals and all of them healed perfectly. He's professional but make you feel completely comfortable. Every time he's pierced me he has explained everything he was doing and assured everything was sterile right out of the wrapper. Your assured he's very knowledgeable and dedicated to his profession by everything he will explain to you from when you arrive to when you leave. He also has an incredible selection of high quality jewelry and he's on facebook all the time to answer your questions. The customer service of 12oz studios stands well above the rest as well. After getting pierced by A.J. you'll know exactly what all the reviews are talking about, definitely the best piercer, if you care about your body and want quality, see A.J.

I have never had a bad experience while getting pierced by A.J. He did my rook and 3 surface bars (that, unfortunately, he also had to remove because my lifestyle is too rough for exotic piercings.) He always responded quickly and thoroughly to any questions/concerns i voiced over his facebook page no matter how many times he got the same "why isn't it working?!" message. In addition to being highly knowledgeable and professional, A.J. is also a very fun and comfortable person to be around. I will never go to any one else to get a piercing or to look for jewelry (he seriously has the most amazing jewelry in the area.) A.J. is the best in the area, hands down.

I have to say that AJ is the best piercer I have ever used. I had my nose pierced in Atlantic City about 2 years ago. The jewelry they used broke and I could not get in right away to see AJ. In the meantime my piercing closed up. When I went to AJ he had to re-pierce my nose, the jewelry he used was far superior to what the other piercer used and healed up in about half the time, plus AJ has experience to bend the jewelry to have it fit properly. I have been so happy with the piercing and the piece of jewelry stays in =). Thank you AJ!!!!!

AJ is amazing!! He did 4 piercings for me and he was available 24/7 on Facebook/myspace/aim to answer any questions I had (and I had a million). He never got tired of answering silly questions or the same question a million times!! He really loves his job which makes the whole piercing experience even more fun (yea you thought getting pierced was fun, wait til you get pierced by AJ!!!)
SN: can't wait for him to do my nose!!!

Review:
I recently got the Monroe piercing done by AJ. I have other body piercings but AJ is by the best. He is so professional and he actually cares about his clients. He made me feel very comfortable and he left me know exactly what he was doing and when the "worst" part of the pain was over. AJ explained the aftercare and he made himself completely available to answer any other questions I had during the healing process. I would recommend AJ to anyone I knew who wanted any type of body piercing or stretch.

Aj is the best person to go to when you get something pierced for the first time. He was really professional but knew how to lighten up the mood so you weren't that nervous. Aj is the only person i trust to do my piercings

Customer review from Crystal on the 12 Oz Studios Facebook page:
I've been pierced by A.J. 3 times (as well as many of my friends/family) and won't let anyone but him pierce me. He is an amazing piercer and has a great personality. He knows what he's doing and has a passion for doing it. If you want quality work I highly suggest him!

My daughter and I have been pierced and purchased jewelry from AJ for 5+ years. I found him when searching for someone to fix a poorly done piercing for my daughter. As long as we live in the area, we won’t go anywhere else. His professionalism, breadth of knowledge, attention to detail, and impeccable safety procedures are second to none. He goes beyond industry standards and best practices to be safe and make his clients happy. We are SO happy we found AJ!!!!!

Review:
Reddit gives AJ two thumbs up! Seriously, this guy is amazing. I was hesitant (and quite nervous) to get my septum pierced because it was my first piercing. After searching on Reddit for the best professional body piercers, a large number of people recommended AJ, with one user claiming, "no matter how long the drive, it's well worth it to see AJ," and how right they were! I drove over an hour to see AJ, and from minute one, he was down to Earth and very friendly. He took care to go over the sanitation process and describe exactly what he was about to do. You can tell this guy really loves what he does, because he makes sure everything is perfect - from the sanitation, to the position of the piercing, to making you feel comfortable and at ease - the whole nine. If I decide to get any more piercings in the future, AJ is my guy. I would, without a doubt, recommend AJ for anyone looking to get their piercing done the right way.

I received a conch piercing from AJ a few months ago. I was very hesitant to get my ears pierced again (I've had bad experiences with cartilage piercings in the past) but AJ put me at ease and reassured me that it could heal properly. He took the time to answer all of my crazy, over-thought questions. I've been to other piercers that have a "too cool" vibe, but AJ was very easy to talk to. He was completely professional. I'll definitely go back to him if I ever need anything else and recommend him to anyone in the area looking for a piercing.

A.J. did an amazing job at calming my nerves before my rook piercing. He walked me through the entire process and showed me how he sterilizes all of the instruments used for a piercing. A.J. consulted me about my helix piercing done at an under qualified studio and gave his professional input. I could not be happier with my experiences with him, looking forward to getting more piercings from him.

Review:
AJ has pierced my nipples, navel & inner conch, as well as ordered jewelry for me for a piercing he didn't do. Based on my experience with him- I must say AJ is extremely knowledgeable in his craft! Patient with answering all my questions in relation to the piercing and jewelry cost & even with my anxiety. He's sanitary and very personable and an all around awesome guy that truly cares about his clientele. Through conversations I have had with him -he does not appear to be in the business for profit but because it's something he really loves to do. I will go to him over and over again and refer anyone I can to him. I am so confident in his work that I refuse to go to anyone else for my piercing and/or jewelry needs. Thank you AJ.

I highly recommend AJ. He pierced my nose a few months ago and I just got a daith piercing done. He is very knowledgeable and very funny. He is great at making you feel comfortable and at ease. I will definitely go to him for any other piercings that I may get. 12 ounce studios is a very clean studio and AJ makes sure that you are in the room while he is sterilizing everything. Definitely 4 out of 4 stars.

AJ IS NOTHING LESS THAN AWESOME. KNOWLEDGEABLE, PROFESSIONAL & UNDERSTANDING and quite frankly I will never go to anyone again. AJ was awesome while piercing my nipples- His cleanliness is impeccable, the jewelry options available exceed "standard" jewelry available at most shops, and his knowledge is by far unmatched. He genuinely cares about the piercee & is awesome with providing the step by step process of what he will be doing from the moment he starts his consultation and he's very honest. My experience with him has made me consider other piercings. He's the go to piercer. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

I have been getting pierced since I was 18, and A.J. is the only piercer I would let touch me. He is the definition of professional and he is amazing at what he does. If I ever had a problem with irritation or questions he did not hesitate to help. I know when I see him that I'm going to leave with a quality piercing and quality jewelry. He is the only guy I recommend if you want the job done right!

AJ is the best piercer! I asked for a double tragus piecing, and then a single on the other ear, and I was absolutely stunned. It turned out sooo well! My tragus is tiny, and he perfectly succeeded in performing the double piercing! It looks great and I am thoroughly impressed! He is very easy to talk to and tells you everything you need to know about your piercing and its aftercare. The rest of 12 oz Studios staff is great as well!! Thank you so much AJ! I will recommend you to everyone who is looking to get a piercing of any kind!

Review:
I went to AJ to get my naval pierced with my sister who got her nose pierced. It was my first body piercing and I was terrified! When I got there, AJ immediately assured me it would be okay and explained everything to me. He helped to pick out my jewelry, and even used an electrolysis bath (?) to add oxide layers to the metal to turn it blue for me! The jewelry was gorgeous! When it came time for the piercing, he explained how it was sterilized and I felt very confident that he was using the cleanest materials. He pierced my sisters nose first. The process was so quick and painless I was amazed! It looks great. He then began to line up my piercing. He asked me to make sure it was straight and was not at all upset about adjusting it to my satisfaction. I laid down and he told me to breathe, then it was over within 30 seconds! There was almost no pain! It was completely straight and looked awesome. AJ explained how to take care of the piercing and told us to contact him should we need to. It has been a week and the piercing is healing great! I'm so happy with it and plan on coming back for more piercings! I've been recommending him to everyone! Thank you AJ!

I just went to AJ so he could pierce my forward helix & tragus, he did an amazing job. He's so gentle & really calms your nerves. I was so nervous when I went in, but that quickly went away. I really love that he proved that all of his jewelry was properly sterilized. Not all piercers do that. I've been told that tragus piercings hurt a lot, that's why I was so nervous. But to be honest, I didn't feel a thing, even with my forward helix. I felt nothing. He was so gentle with the piercings that I didn't feel any pain or discomfort. I would definitely recommend going to AJ. I've had a great experience with him & I'll definitely be back for more :) thanks AJ!!!

Hands down it gets no better in south jersey. I had researched body modification and piercing and considered stretching my earlobes for some time now. When I stumbled on AJ 's website and read and re-read his informative explanations I knew where I was going. Its great to mention he is the ONLY member of APP. check their site as well. AJ made my visit virtually painless. Cleanliness, a sterile environment and a down to earth personality made my experience a good one. Skip the mall and those back door back bathroom basement style places. Do not fret over cost. That is the one thing I did not even concern myself about. Good work is not cheap and cheap work aint good. With that being said ,I found 12 oz to be reasonable and AJ not only started me in a higher gauge ,he did not try to sell me higher priced jewelry or unnecessary products. Oh yeah, before I forget : TIP YOUR ARTIST !!

I drove over 2 hours to come see you this weekend and it was so well worth the trip! You are a consumate professional, yet super easy to laugh and joke around with. You helped to make me far more comfortable than I ever expected I could be when getting my nipples (and earlobes) pierced. I will recommend you to anyone who is looking for a great piercer, you are definitely "top shelf, no dust" in my book! And I will be back, eventually, just have to decide what I want to do next. :) Thank you again SO MUCH for a great experience, you ROCK at what you do, and you're a pretty cool guy besides! ;)

I have had many piercings/tattoos and have never truly been loyal. When I went to AJ tonight- he completely changed my mind. I would NEVER send my friends or family to anyone else for piercings. He knew the science behind the work- he truly cares. Not only were my piercings painless- he explained the process of them as if they were something that he truly cared about. AJ is the real deal. He is not in this for money or Fame, but he wants to teach, inform, and educate about his passion- piercing. I appreciate my entire experience- I got the most painless piercing I have ever received, got a step-by-step tutorial about the entire process, and was coached about aftercare. I am amazed by AJ's talent and Passion and I will never refer anyone in the area to anyone else. Thanks, boy! You're amazing!

Before discovering the Association of Professional Piercers and A.J. himself, I was being pierced at a place I thought was so amazing until after research I found out that they were selling me low quality externally threaded jewelry, that could have been made of god knows what, that and charging me the same amount that high quality jewelry costs. Once I found A.J. I had to go visit him, Going to his studio was a completely different experience than I had ever had at a piercer. I wasn't pushed into buying soap to clean my piercing with, which I know now is outdated and not needed to clean fresh piercings, h2ocean when I could just buy a saline wound wash at the pharmacy and mouth wash for oral piercings that they told me to dilute now I know if a mouth wash needs to be diluted it is too harsh to be near a fresh piercing. He also has made me feel so comfortable about every procedure, has explained everything he was doing before he does it, he is also very detailed in his explanations and is very knowledgeable. A.J. has pierced my septum, two lip piercings, my daith and my tragus. He's also downsized and changed most of my jewelry. I've brought quite a few of my friends to visit him also and have recommended him to everyone I know. I will continue to recommend him and members of the Association of Professional Piercers because I have never seen piercers that genuinely care so much about the healthy, safety and happiness of their customers. If you're considering going to A.J. to receive a piercing or to buy high quality jewelry, you're making the right choice.

Just saw AJ this evening to get my nipples pierced! From the get go, I was at ease with him. He's got a good "bedside manner", if you will, and explained everything he was doing in detail, including the autoclave process. I was confident that I was getting clean and quality service! During the actual piercing, he was great. He let me know when to expect the most pain, and when it would subside. The placement and jewelry look great, and I will definitely be recommending AJ to anyone looking to get pierced!

After months of research I finally came across A.j.! He was kind enough to consult with me through email as I live a little under 2 hours away. Once I got to the studio he put me as ease from my being nervous, explained the entire procedure and aftercare. He's extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to and even took the time out to give me a little lesson about the art that adorns his walls. I now recommend A.j. to everyone and once you have the chance to be pierced by him you will surely know why!

Review:
I had my nostril pierced by AJ at the beginning of June (the first of the month). This was my first facial piercing, first time at a legit piercing parlor, and initially, I wanted to have my septum done, but due to some general anxiety of my own (and the fact that I think my mother would have had a coronary), I just decided to go with the nostril piercing. I went with my friend (who wanted to watch the procedure) and AJ was super professional, explaining the whole process and showing me how everything was sterilized. I think he changed his gloves like twelve times. I was nervous about being pierced but AJ put me and my friend at ease, cracking a few jokes and talking to us about music and stuff. I'll probably be back in the winter once I've mustered up enough courage to have my septum pierced. Pretty awesome first experience! I don't think I'd go anywhere else!

I have been wanting to get my ears pierced and then stretch them for a few years now. i researched different techniques and jewelry material. i also looked up piercers in my area and i found AJ's site and his Facebook group for asking professional piercers questions. AJ seemed extremely professional and knowledgeable so i decided he was the only person that i wanted to pierce me. i chose to get my earlobes pierced at 8 gauge and then immediately stretched to a 6 gauge after talking to AJ about the pros and cons of each method and size. The studio was beyond my expectations. Extremely neat and clean with an awesome assortment of jewelry. The piercing i got was at a larger gauge so i was expecting some pain but AJ made me feel relaxed and comfortable about it and the pain was minimal. They had everything i needed for aftercare plus jewelry for the future. i wont go to anyone else for another piercing and i plan on getting my conch pierced in the near future.

Customer review from Nikki

Review:
As a parent, I was skeptical of my daughter's desire for various piercings. As a realist, I understood that in a year or so, I will have no input or say on what she does, and therefore I consented to her request, with the caveat that she allow me to research the most knowledgeable, clean, and in my opinion, best candidate for the job. AJ Goldman not only met my standards, but he exceeded them. He was very forthright on what piercings would fit (her ear) and what options she had (enforcing the fact that, regardless of parental consent, you must be 18 for any industrial piercings). I found his demeanor to be very friendly, professional, and patient -taking the time to honestly answer my myriad of questions. I felt that AJ provided us with a thorough understanding of himself, his practice, as well as educating us on the necessary information pertinent to our daughter's piercing(s). Most importantly, he made my daughter at ease and making her comfortable, and even went as far as to explain that certain piercings, such as the one my daughter initially requested, were not suited to her body type. You will not find many professionals who care more about the client than their cash. I would (and now have) recommended AJ, to anyone interested in any piercings, no matter the type or body location.

I had my labret pierced by AJ after walking in with just some questions. AJ's knowledge of piercing was amazing. I am black male so there are chances for me to keloid. AJ knew of different skin types reacting different ways and after talking discussing my odds along other piercings i have already had. I felt comfortable and decided right then and there to get pierced. Any and all piercings from now on will be done AJ. If your not sure or have questions just walk in ask for AJ and talk to him no pressure no charges for answering question just a cool dude with a ton of knowledge.
Customer review from Charlee (taken from our Yelp reviews)
Review:
12 oz. Studios is top-notch when it comes to tattooing and piercing.
AJ pierced my rook back in July (he's at the Deptford location now) and it was really a great experience. The entire shop was immaculate and all the staff were very friendly. AJ is extremely professional and skilled at what he does, but he also has a great way of making the customer feel very comfortable. He explained everything he was doing, used sterile equipment right out of the packaging, and pierced me quickly and almost painlessly! It is obvious AJ really cares about his craft, and he's got the portfolio to prove it. He educated me on my new piercing and piercings in general, and made sure I did not walk out of that shop without knowing exactly how to care for it. Seriously a truly talented guy. Also, they have a great selection of high-quality body jewelry and everything is fairly priced.
I have not personally experienced the tattoo end of 12 oz, but I know plenty of people who have. The work is consistently amazing; expertly done and beautiful!
I came to 12 oz from the Atlantic City area because they are just that good. I would not go anywhere else for a piercing.

AJ did both of my nipple piercings in early January, 2012. I was nervous beforehand but once I got into the piercing room, AJ helped me be more comfortable by explaining everything he was doing. He was very professional and helped distract me from thinking about the pain by talking to me constantly. He warned me when it was going to hurt and helped me get through it all. He explained the proper aftercare procedures and I was able to contact him through facebook or by phone if I had any more questions. Unfortunately about 2 months through, I had to take my piercings out but I plan on going back to AJ to get them redone soon. He's the only piercer I'll ever trust!

A.J. has done a total of 5 micro dermals and all of them healed perfectly. He's professional but make you feel completely comfortable. Every time he's pierced me he has explained everything he was doing and assured everything was sterile right out of the wrapper. Your assured he's very knowledgeable and dedicated to his profession by everything he will explain to you from when you arrive to when you leave. He also has an incredible selection of high quality jewelry and he's on facebook all the time to answer your questions. The customer service of 12oz studios stands well above the rest as well.

I have never had a bad experience while getting pierced by A.J. He did my rook and 3 surface bars (that, unfortunately, he also had to remove because my lifestyle is too rough for exotic piercings.) He always responded quickly and thoroughly to any questions/concerns i voiced over his facebook page no matter how many times he got the same "why isn't it working?!" message. In addition to being highly knowledgeable and professional, A.J. is also a very fun and comfortable person to be around. I will never go to any one else to get a piercing or to look for jewelry (he seriously has the most amazing jewelry in the area.) A.J. is the best in the area, hands down.

What did I do for you? Performed a body piercing
Review:
Great experience! Aj did my first piercing, a surface piercing and made me feel incredibly comfortable. He's actually a piercer who knows what they're talking about and is honestly concerned about your health. Don't know if it's his great piercing skills or my freakish body but it's been over a year and my piercing still has not grown out (:

I have to say that AJ is the best piercer I have ever used. I had my nose pierced in Atlantic City about 2 years ago. The jewelry they used broke and I could not get in right away to see AJ. In the meantime my piercing closed up. When I went to AJ he had to re-pierce my nose, the jewelry he used was far superior to what the other piercer used and healed up in about half the time, plus AJ has experience to bend the jewelry to have it fit properly. I have been so happy with the piercing and the piece of jewelry stays in =). Thank you AJ!!!!!

AJ is amazing!! He did 4 piercings for me and he was available 24/7 on Facebook/myspace/aim to answer any questions I had (and I had a million). He never got tired of answering silly questions or the same question a million times!! He really loves his job which makes the whole piercing experience even more fun (yea you thought getting pierced was fun, wait til you get pierced by AJ!!!)
SN: can't wait for him to do my nose!!!

Review:
I recently got the Monroe piercing done by AJ. I have other body piercings but AJ is by the best. He is so professional and he actually cares about his clients. He made me feel very comfortable and he left me know exactly what he was doing and when the "worst" part of the pain was over. AJ explained the aftercare and he made himself completely available to answer any other questions I had during the healing process. I would recommend AJ to anyone I knew who wanted any type of body piercing or stretch.

Aj is the best person to go to when you get something pierced for the first time. He was really professional but knew how to lighten up the mood so you weren't that nervous. Aj is the only person i trust to do my piercings

Customer review from Crystal on the 12 Oz Studios Facebook page:
I've been pierced by A.J. 3 times (as well as many of my friends/family) and won't let anyone but him pierce me. He is an amazing piercer and has a great personality. He knows what he's doing and has a passion for doing it. If you want quality work I highly suggest him!
