Spider-Bite Body Piercing

I’ve had 2 unfortunate experiences for the only 2 times I’ve been here, and now I can’t recommend this place at all. At my recent visit, my septum was pierced crooked. I’m of course unfamiliar with piercing, so I trusted that the piercer would know what to do. But they did not use the clamp for some reason, which I thought was odd, but since I was assured by the front desk that both piercers have 40 years combined experience under their belt, I didn’t think much of it. In hindsight, I’d assume that after a while of doing the same thing, you’re bound to get sloppy. I don’t even have a deviated septum or anything, so I’m shocked that they messed it up. I paid $70 and had to take out the piercing because it was visibly crooked. It was very disappointing, and the studio said they don’t do refunds, only to get it repierced by one of the piercers, both of which I had unfortunate experiences with. They did not want to give me a refund no matter what, and it’s sad because $70 is a lot of money. They promised me they would “do something for me” whatever that would be and ghosted me. Edit: The company replied and wants to know what the other experience was. I got my thirds pierced and chose earrings that kept falling out, and I kept having to put them back in, so the piercing got infected. I gave up on it and waited for it to heal, then repierced it myself. It healed perfectly fine. That’s over $100 total down the drain. I’m sorry but I’m not trusting these people again!!

I recently moved to the area and this will for sure be my default shop. I went last year and unfortunately don’t remember the piercer’s name, but I needed to re-pierce a previously damaged piercing my fault, ripped it out! and the piercer was phenomenal with accommodating the scar tissue and figuring out a great new placement. Came this week for Claire’s apprentice piercing special and I could hardly believe she was an apprentice. Super well informed and communicative. My conch looks great and was a breeze to get. Her mentor, Jen, was also present and fantastic. Everyone from the piercers to the front staff has a great vibe and were friendly and helpful. I think it says a lot that I went a year apart with different people and had the same positive experience. Kudos to this shop!

This place is really open and quite a large store. Thankfully I read the reviews before coming here because I was shocked to see how many people bring their dogs. Left my service dog at home because I was not about to have her attacked by some pet very common thing with people who bring there dogs or fake service dogs anywhere and as soon as we walk in… guess what, a dog was there. For a place that does tattoos and piercings you would think they need to be sterile. The staff become dog babysitters and we had to all listen to a dog scream and cry while their owner was in the room being pierced. Not 100% the staffs fault but pets shouldn’t be allowed anyways. How can the staff do their jobs when they need to babysit?? Even in the reviews people complement this place for watching and holding their dogs while they get their piercing or tattoo done. So ridiculous. was told by staff via messaging that the doors were accessible with an elevator. Sadly there was no handicap parking and the doors were a nightmare to open. However the elevator was working properly and very clean. Other than the handicap parking and dog watching service the staff was very nice and friendly. As many people have said Jen is very sweet and very talented.

Jen is a highly skilled piercer, providing me with an exceptional experience. Her professionalism and meticulous attention to detail put me at ease when I visited Spider Bite to get my nose pierced. When I decided to get my conch pierced, I knew without a doubt that I wanted Jen to perform the procedure again. Despite the line of people waiting to be pierced, she patiently explained the procedure to me and answered all my questions. Her apprentice, Claire, also displayed expertise by offering valuable advice on jewelry selection and sizing. Cleanliness: The room where Jen performs her piercing services is exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and organized.

Jen is amazing!! I brought my puppy Remy in and everyone loved him the employees held him while I was getting new nose ring placed. I brought my friend Rebecca for her nose piercing for her birthday. I adore the staff there!!! My next trip there will be getting a meaningless tattoo on my neck covered. I told the staff " Ty will be back with Remy soon." I was told they'll be counting down the days! I love in Maine and I wouldn't go anywhere else!!! They deserve 1 million stars!x million. Felling grateful, Jennifer Best

Check out the photos. As I have learned more about this, I’ve found that the jewelry they greedily sold to me wasn’t even safe for healing or appropriate as an initial piercing, they won’t care about your health or wellbeing, they just want your cash and will then act like you’re trash. Don’t trust these people. I’m just absolutely baffled by my experience. I went to get my first two piercings in my life. Loved the experience at first, everyone was great. I tipped generously and thanked everyone. Three weeks later my body decided to reject the piercing and my ears swoll up so large that I had to go to urgent care and the doctor told me I need to remove the piercing. This is my bodies fault, not Spider-Bite’s. This is where things get dicey, the $240 gold snake I purchased literally snapped in half at the post when it was removed. A single tiny gold earring is simply not worth $240 and I was really splurging on this. I knew I was over paying but I figured it would be quality and I really liked it. So I went home from the doctor with my antibiotics, steroids, giant ears, and broken overpriced earring. I was pretty distraught but I decided to try and call and see what would happen. The really nice guy on the phone showed a lot of sympathy and said that he’d speak to the manager. I spent $475 there for two piercings. My only request was that I be able to return the earring for a refund and that they speak to the manufacturer and get it replaced *with a new earring from the manufacturer, not the literal earring from my ear, which I figured was clear but I’ve edited this for clarity* on their end so they could sell it to someone else. He asked the manager and they agreed. Told me to come in with the earring. I was so pleased, I was telling my friends and family what an upstanding business this was. How wrong I ended up being. When I showed up the only thing they said they would do was repair the earring. I can’t wear earrings, the quality was already sub-par and I was told a refurbished unit was the best they can do. That isn’t true. Sure, the manufacturer made the product— but your company is marking up the price wildly and then not even standing behind the product. Even with the $240 being refunded you would have made a couple hundred off of me, and I got nothing out of the deal. If you’re selling a product that doesn’t last, it’s the cost of doing business to do the right thing. You should have refunded me and dealt with the manufacturer, but instead decided to rob me of hundreds of dollars for literally nothing. It’s wrong. I will never stop telling everyone I know about this, and this town ain’t that big. Absolutely immoral. The lobby was full of people about to buy. I can’t fathom why you need to rip me off, and I’ll never return. Edit in response to my calls not only being ignored but also this ridiculous essay they decided to write instead of just returning my calls. This absolute trash establishment not only refuses to stand behind their products, or so much as return a phone call. The “response” here is absolute nonsense and I would never recommend anyone spend money here. Management responding this way is just another layer of arrogant disrespect. I would check all the other reviews that share my experience before coming to this terrible establishment. They are crooked thieves who don’t even respond. The fact that I wrote the review prior to them responding is due to the fact that they were blatantly ignoring me. I wouldn’t put your health, cash, or time in these unprofessional clown’s hands. The mark up on this jewelry is absurd for the level of absolute disrespect they deem appropriate. I hope yall go out of business.

Amazing experience.. I've had piercings done in other places before but this one is by far the best.. my new favorite! Looks very nice inside. Its a big, super clean and professional, amazing shop! I went for a few piercings and was super nurvous but Jen was absolutely amazing and I was very comfortable during the process. She explained everything to me and was very patient and kind.. very knowledgeable and professional! She even helped me pick out the jewelry and showed me how it would look in the spot I was getting pierced very helpful The jewelry is top of the line btw and there's many to choose from. Even solid 24K gold They are also open 7 seven days a week which is awesome and totally helpful for some. Will def be going back soon :- I drove almost 2 hours to get there but it was totally worth it all the way!

Always professional and nothing but good experiences here with multiple piercings. Highly recommend. Get there early because they book up quickly. I find it best to go within an hour or two of opening and be patient. I've seen Claude and Jen. Jen did my nipples yesterday and it was a pleasant experience.

This location is awesome! Jen and Tabitha were both friendly and great to work with. Jen took her time with my friend and I on finding the right jewelry for the piercings we were looking to get. Then, when it was time Tabitha was quick, efficient, and great at making us feel comfortable. Her breathing technique allowed the 3 piercings to be painless and they came out great. At the end they offer saline spray if you need it but I already had some. Overall, my piercings came out great and the cost of 2 doubles and one helix came out to be $260 and it was so worth it! I would 100% recommend and would come back!

Jen is awesome! I love the way my piercings turned out. 10/10. I HIGHLY recommend Spider-Bite, Inc. for your piercing and jewelry needs. Fresh Daith pictured.
