We’ve reimagined a better ear-piercing experience to help you get the look you want, stress-free.
We offer ear piercings with needles (never piercing guns!) for better precision, safety and healing, as well as a wide assortment of cute, high-quality piercing jewelry options at a range of prices.
I had such a great experience with Darin at STUDS! He was super helpful in helping me choose jewelry that matched my style and worked best for my ear anatomy. Darin took the time to explain everything clearly, made sure I was comfortable, and helped me decide on a piercing placement that fit perfectly. The whole process felt really easy and personalized. Highly recommend seeing Darin if you want someone who’s knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about getting the details right!

I’ve come to this shop twice now with my sister, and both times we’ve been met by the same girl at the front desk with pink hair who’s been unwelcoming and dismissive. She always says they’re booked and doesn’t make any effort to assist or explain availability. It’s unfortunate because we were really looking forward to getting pierced here.

I am a physician. I took my daughter to this place today for piercing. The tech confirmed she's going to use sterile gloves but she had absolutely no clue what sterile gloves and procedure was! Took unsterile gloves and opened up allegedly a sterile pack of piercings and wanted to proceed! I took my daughter out of there. This place is a disaster waiting to happen if not already with HIV, hepatitis C and the likes! Places that do not use sterile gloves should be abandoned.

Got my Conch and Helix done here recently. Super cute store! Etsli was super helpful despite the store being busy and hectic. My piercer Michelle was super sweet and really educated me on what to do with my piercings. Thankfully I listened because I thought I was supposed to spin my piercings! Thanks Studs!
