Piercing Pagoda

From LoveToKnow Tattoos

The Piercing Pagoda is a well-known staple at malls throughout the United States, as well as Puerto Rico. Learn more about this piercing giant's humble beginnings, and what you can expect to find there.

Piercing Pagoda Beginnings

There was a time (1969), when the Piercing Pagoda was just a single little kiosk in Pennsylvania's Whitehall Mall. Although body piercing has been practiced for centuries, it was about to go mainstream with the American public. The kiosk's founders Bernie and Bertha Cohen had the vision to see how one simple piercing station could be parlayed into a multi-million dollar franchise.

Since those early days, the Piercing Pagoda has seen its number of kiosks rise from one to over 850, with plans for more. Is it any wonder that the brand name is so recognizable and that so many have had their first piercing experience there?

Free Ear Piercing

The Piercing Pagoda has largely built it's clientele by offering free ear piercing with the purchase of a set of starter pierced earrings. The combination of buying beautiful jewelry while receiving a free service has proven irresistible to millions of men and women, so much so that Piercing Pagoda marks its experience in "ears" rather than years.

The company prides itself on thoroughly training all of its associates in proper sterile piercing procedures and providing essential aftercare instructions to all of its customers. Only single-use, disposable piercing cartridges are used on each client, and the staff always wears surgical gloves to lower the chances of cross-contaminations that can lead to infection.

Jewelry

Over the years, the Piercing Pagoda has earned a reputation for offering 10-14k gold jewelry at prices that make it affordable to own.

If you've ever actually walked past one of these kiosks at the mall, you're probably familiar with the way the well-lighted displays glitter with "bling". This is in stark contrast with some other piercing venues that favor the "head shed" style of decor, and has greatly contributed to the company's mainstream appeal.

In addition to all of the gold, the company carries a large selection of sterling silver and diamond jewelry. They also carry some stainless steel selections. Far from simply being a source for earrings, the Pagoda offers rings, necklaces, brooches, and charm bracelets. Also available at many of the chain's kiosks are body jewelry items, such as nose rings, belly rings, and barbells.

Cell phone charms have been one recent addition to this retailer's product line, and so far they've proven quite popular. These charms have become one of the hottest trends, finding favor with common folk and celebrities alike, and the Pagoda has a great selection.

Conclusion

Whether you're contemplating your first piercing, or you're just in the mood to purchase some new jewelry, chances are you can find something to tempt you at the Piercing Pagoda.

For over thirty-six years, this company has enjoyed a solid (14k) gold reputation for providing clients with both quality merchandise and safe, friendly service. You might just want to give the Pagoda a try yourself.
