- AJAimee JuradoDec 30, 20255.0I’ve been pierced at this location 3 times and loved my experience each time. The first time was with Jamie, who was great and did an amazing job with my helix piercing. My next two times I requested Liv who was genuinely the sweetest and did such an impressive piercing job on my 2nd lobes and double midi helix. Special shout out to Moe who also helped me take out jewelry when I needed to. Each piercer and the front desk staff have been professional, kind, and answered all my questions. This a place I trust with all things piercing related!
- ESEmily SmallDec 7, 20252.0Studs is clean and their lobby is pretty. The wait times are quite long. I think in the future I would choose a simple piercing gun over the thick hollow needle piercing style due to the inconvenience of sleeping on a ring pillow every night and cleaning the piercings twice a day for 6-9 months.
- NBNil BabacanNov 30, 20255.0I got my helix pierced and the service was so good!! Everyone was so nice and helpful. Moe was so nice and careful with her work. She made sure that I was okay. Definitely would recommend!! Thank you!!!
- EMEsha MeherNov 29, 20255.0This was my second piercing at studs. Wonderful staff and swift service. Jess was an absolute magician. She made piercing look so seamless and natural, I didn’t even realise at what point the needle pierced my skin. Would certainly recommend!
- 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 :)
