I had a mixed experience at Maria Tash. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful, which I really appreciated.
However, the technician who helped me change my jewelry made me feel very uncomfortable. The process was quite rough and aggressive. I’ve had jewelry changed at the same piercing location at other studios before, and it was never this painful. This time, my fully healed piercing was actually irritated and started bleeding, which was very concerning.
Overall, it felt unprofessional and disappointing. I originally planned to come back for another piercing if the experience was good, but after this, I’ve completely changed my mind.

The headline here is that this place is the best and if you want to get pierced- this is the place to do it, trust me. I went from having zero piercings back in May 2025 to now having 8 in Jan 2026 (with a few more on the way). The jewelry is gorgeous and reasonably priced for the exceptional quality that it is, but beyond that- the team is simply unparalleled.
Shauntae, Stephane, Harrison, and the entire crew here are so kind, so welcoming, and just want to make sure you find the best pieces to fit what you're looking for. Shauntae has taken such great care of me and so many of my friends that I've brought in. At this point, I honestly look forward to grabbing a matcha across the street and popping in to say hi, chat, look at the new pieces, and check the healing on some of my newer piercings.
And Stephane and Harrison are some of the best piercers I've ever come across. They're so gentle, friendly, and want nothing more than to make sure you're comfortable the entire time. They are also not shy about letting you know what they feel will/won't work and why as well as giving ideas that they feel would look and heal the best based on your specific body. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this candor in a retail environment and to be honest, it has built so much trust for me, that I basically do whatever the team tells me I should do at this point.
Not sure what else I can add really- it's a joy of an experience from start to finish and the team genuinely wants to make sure you get everything you want/need. Need a piercing? Come here. It'll look great and I'm sure you'll love it :)

Harrison is amazing ! He’s one of my favorites and has done multiple of my piercings. Will go back to him in a heart beat.

The experience of the piercing was great. We were well taken care of by the lovely staff (the salesperson and the piercing lady). They could not have been nicer. Unfortunately, within 5 weeks my lovely diamond somehow had fallen out of my earring and when I called the store, the manger refused to help me. This despite the fact that I had 3 piercings done and my daughter had 2. A pricey afternoon for sure. I was told to contact customer service. Clearly customer service is not their strong suit when things go wrong.
Frequently Asked Questions About MARIA TASH | Fine Jewelry & Luxury Piercing
Are your earrings sold as singles or pairs?
Maria Tash jewelry is sold as singles unless otherwise stated. To order a pair, please add two of the items to your cart. Our large earrings are the only items we sell in pairs. These items are pictured as a pair and the product description also states that they’re sold as a pair.
What size jewelry works best for me?
Our experience involves you pairing one-on-one with our stylists to completely guide you through your styling and piercing. There are multiple sizes to our jewelry, but our team will make sure that you are properly sized and confident.
What is the difference between a threaded and traditional stud?
Threaded backings use a screw-on/off design that makes the earring stay more securely in the ear. This is our standard style of jewelry. A traditional backing is also available. This is the traditional style of earring where you have a butterfly back that is separate and pushes onto the post to hold the jewelry in place.
Do I need to book an appointment?
Appointments are available for piercings but walk-ins are always welcome. Appointments are not required for fittings and installs or purchasing jewelry.
Can I be pierced with my own jewelry?
Due to sterilization needs, we do not pierce with jewelry that is not Maria Tash. The best selections from our full collection will be available for styling and piercing. Our styles come in white, yellow, rose, and black gold. You're welcome to bring in your existing Maria Tash pieces and consult with a piercer to see if it can be used for an initial piercing.
How many piercings can I get in one session?
We recommend up to four piercings per session, but this is dependent on the piercings you are thinking about and your anatomy. Our stylists and piercers can best consult with you during your visit.
Can I be pierced if I am under 18?
Yes, please see piercing services page for each Maria Tash location. You must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and you both must bring ID with you. If the parent/legal guardian and child have different surnames, we require further identification to confirm guardianship i.e. a birth certificate. Please check each store policy as age when earlobe and cartilage piercing is permitted may vary by region.
Do you pierce with a needle or a piercing gun?
All of our piercings are made with single use sterile needles rather than piercing guns. We do not use piercing guns as they are not very accurate and cannot be properly sterilized.
Are your earrings sold as singles or pairs?
Maria Tash jewelry is sold as singles unless otherwise stated. To order a pair, add two items to your cart. Large earrings are sold only as pairs.
What size jewelry works best for me?
Our stylists will guide you one-on-one through sizing during your styling and piercing consultation to ensure the perfect fit.

Appointments are preferred for piercings, but walk-ins are welcome depending on availability. Fittings, installs, and jewelry purchases don't require appointments.
Can I be pierced with my own jewelry?
