- RMRyan MccaulleyFeb 2, 20265.0Quick and simple process! My appt was on a weekday morning, so it wasn’t busy and I had no wait time. Moe was my piercer and I loved her so much! Super sweet and patient. Explained everything and helped me figure out what looked best on each ear. We did second lobes and a lobe stack. Quick, practically painless and an overall great experience! Would definitely return for future piercings!
- ZMZiara MorseJan 22, 20261.0I went to get a piercing the lady at the front ask for my id . I gave her my id and she asked is this the name I go by which made me feel uncomfortable because it’s like she was applying that I am a boy because I have a short hair cut when my id shows my long hair before I cut it . I will never return here
- 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!!!
