- JGJessica GarafolaOct 7, 20255.0Gerard aka GEZ was so helpful for my piercings. I got three cartilage/lobe piercings all on my right ear. In the past I had had the same done and it was infected because the prior piercer used dirty gloves. So I was rightfully anxious coming in to redo it a decade later. But he was super clean throughout and my piercings healed surprisingly quickly with enough protein intake and cleaning routine. I went for two free checkups just to get them cleaned and he made sure that I did an upsize for the cartilage piercing for safety as it heals. I can’t recommend him enough. Super satisfied with my choice :)
- AEAnna ESep 22, 20255.0Gerard's an amazing piercer, super sweet, knowledgable and great at curating my piercings! He knows exactly what would look good and is also very professional. I've always had good experiences every time I come back for piercings and so far I've gotten 5 from him already (will be coming back for more). I'm so picky and with bad experiences I had in the past with other piercers, I refuse to go anywhere else! Thank you Gerard!!! <3 P.S. I got the conch, rook, helix and also 2 lobes done with Gerard so far!
- CAChristy ArnoldSep 2, 20255.0Wonderful experience. They're kind and did a great job of guiding me through the process and aftercare. Can't wait to get more done here!
- LJLouis JohnsonAug 19, 20255.0Gerard was awesome. Very painless and quick, and he did 5 piercings between the two of us. Super fun to talk to, could tell he genuinely enjoyed working with us, very personable. Smoothest piercing experience I’ve had. Thanks Studs!
- RMRut MercaderAug 19, 20255.0Gerardo was amazing!! He did my tragus piercing so gently and he was so sweet and caring! It did not hurt at all!!! I highly recommend him for your next ear piercing at the UTC Studs!!
