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 recently visited STUDS intending to purchase a pair of earrings as a gift for a friend, which I clearly communicated to the staff. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. There was only one staff on duty that night, and the staff didn't take the time to show me what was in stock, offer recommendations, nor provide any guidance.
Despite reiterating that the earrings were for someone else, the staff proceeded to open all the packages without informing me of the return policy - which I later learned is essentially nonexistent. While the signage and website suggest returns are possible, I was refused a return a week later and told that none of the titanium earrings are refundable. Had this been disclosed upfront, I would have reconsidered the purchase.
Overall, the information provided was misleading, the products are overpriced for the level of service, and the staff on duty appeared uninterested in helping. I won’t be returning and would encourage others to review the policies carefully before purchasing.

Wanted to add another layer to my lobes and had questions. I wanted their thoughts and expertise and not just to be told what they thought I might want to hear. They were helpful and straightforward. I knew they wanted what was best for me. They had exactly what I wanted and they were able to take me on short notice. The procedure itself was great! Alice is a skilled piercer and I felt safe throughout. Sent home with care instructions and follow up timelines. I’d definitely recommend getting pierced at Studs!

Was fine, the walk in was quick and easy, but I thought the placement was a little uneven and too close to the edge of the ear and when I asked them about it afterwards saying that it looks a little hidden behind the curve of the ear and that if my sister was wanting to place a stud instead of a hoop like she was planning to, it would be an awkward placement. The piercer said that it was better if we were planning on putting a hoop and that’s why she put it more towards the edge but we never said anything about how we were wanting to style it with a hoop until that moment so she wouldn’t have known to put it more outer and it just sounded like she was trying to save face.

Charged me $60 for a 8mm titanium clicker which was $36 on their website. Came back the next to return it and they said there is no titanium material on the website and that I could only exchange. Sign on the counter says fashion jewelry can be returned within 21 days. Dont support liars. Go somewhere else.
