Chroma is located near the corner of Northwestern and Orchard Lake Road, and piercings are normally around $40, although prices vary based on the spot being pierced — recently there was a $25 promo online. Barb Jones is the resident piercer, and you can see examples of her work at Chroma's website. All of Chroma's jewelry meets ASTM (Association for the Standardizing and Testing of Materials) medical implant grade standards, and it also carries products made from organic materials (ie, bloodwood, ebony, etc.). It's website also has a section called "Tattoo and Piercing 101," which is good to read before you get a piercing (or tattoo) for the first time.

You can find 9 Lives Tattoo right in the heart of downtown Ferndale (9 Mile/Woodward area), and it offers piercing as well, with surgical steel jewelry and a constantly rotating jewelry selection.

The shop itself offers a relaxed (and clean) environment in which to get a piercing. 9 Lives accepts Visa, Mastercard, or Discover credit cards, as well as cash, but no American Express cards or Paypal.
