About This Business:
Specialties
Anomaly specializes in Professional Body Piercing, especially surface piercing and single point (microdermal) surface work, and genital piercing; although we have tons of experience with more “standard” piercings as well. We only stock the finest internally threaded implant grade jewelry and prefer to use titanium as our standard over steel. We also have a full service Hair and Makeup Salon whose Design Team has helped create many magazine cover photos, runway fashion shows holiday cards, and film and theatrical productions. Our Salon exclusively uses JOICO products, the same used by American Idol stylist Dean Banowetz and many of the winners of the television show Shear Genius. We showcase local and independent designer clothing and fine artwork as well. Don’t forget to keep us in mind for your exotic body jewelry needs as well, we import many authentic and replica indigenous designs.
History
Established in 2007
Anomaly’s Echo Park location was established as a sister shop to our original Pasadena store. We wanted a chance to help our LA clients cut down on some of their travel distances, while still remaining close enough to Pasadena to successfully be involved in both locations. Our initial Echo Park location was next door to American Apparel and huge. We quickly found out that keeping such a huge space just made the shop feel empty. After the first year we moved the business down a few doors into a much more intimate location. It was important that we stay in the same neighborhood to maintain the relationships with the clients we made in our first year there, and we really became quite attached to the block we where we were located. you can find us a little closer to Mohawk Street than before, right beside the empty theater.

The shop is definitely a little hard to find – it’s just east of the American Apparel and Elf Cafe on the north side (same side) of the street. ?Just keep walking a few doors down…Brett is great. ?He really knows his stuff. ?Not to mention creative. ?There’s no rush at all; it’s just relaxed and fun. ?Well, I guess a little painful, but that’s a given. ?The shop is incredibly clean and has a fair amount of jewelry. They’re still setting up the new space, so expect more art and jewelry and stuff in the near future.
After posting my last review, I noticed it said closed. Anamoly has actually just moved down the block to a smaller location. Please check out my review:On Saturday, I decided that I wanted new jewelry for my ears. I have 10/12 gauge holes and wanted some horn earrings. Based on a few good friends’ recommendations sterling silver beads, I headed over to Anomaly. First off the place is pretty impossible to find–I had to ask the people at American Apparel where the place was and I still couldn’t find it. So I called 411 from my cell and got a disconnected number, but found them by the address that was texted to my phone. Look for the studded bags in the window is my suggestion and possibly the easiest way to find this place. But once I got inside, it was worth the adventure.Annie, the shop owner and hair stylist, waited on me and she was very pleasant and helpful, two things you rarely find with people who are supposed to provide customer service these days. And, there was no pressure to buy. I needed up buying 2 stellar pairs of horn earrings for only $55 (one pair was a last run on sale for $20). The only downside was the piercers don’t work Friday and Saturday (just for the summer). I had a hard time getting one pair in, but I will just go back another day.Besides the piercing and jewelry, they also have clothing and other cool stuff. I’ll have to look at these other things another day, because I was on a mission that day. I’m glad they are in the Silver Lake/Echo Park area so I don’t have to head West for my piercing and/or jewelry needs anymore. So, go check them out but come armed with their address.
Came here to get my left tragus pierce. ?Price was above average, but this is definitely the place to get pierces & tattoo done. ?They amused me with their extremely thorough sanitizing! ?My piercing artist was Monique and she’s amazing! ?All I can say is, this place is worth the price.
Why is this place always closed?! ( along with most shops in Echo Park and Silverlake )
trust is something you should absolutely always establish with people like your: auto mechanic, dentist, doctor ?- girls, you’re gyno.. but i’m including these guys too. ?by far the safest, cleanest, most informed body piercers. ?i’ve had 9 of my 11 piercings done by the folks at anomaly (they made nape piercing and lobe stretching a breeze) now i will no longer turn to anyone else for a hole in my body ever again, nor will i allow anyone i know to venture elsewhere or **gasp** god forbid, be pierced by a gun. ?their piercers are APP certified (association of professional piercers) – which means they’re actively working to raise the standards in the pierce community through education and the use of high quality, safe products.they’re also hooked up in the jewelry department- ?tons of different styles for different tastes- and quite often have sales to satisfy even the most shallow of pockets.
