    First time there and it won't be the last. Very nice and clean environment. My Piercer, Tam a very knowledgeable, professional and kind young lady. My hidden helix and earring I chose are oh so cute. Pain level was basically non-existent.

    My sister and I made a day out of buying some earrings and I got my daith pierced. Tam was our piercer and was nothing short of amazing. Answered alllll of our questions (and we certainly had a lot haha - just curious about everything). So kind and dealt with us twice since we had two separate appointments. EVERYONE was so nice, and super helpful. Would highly recommend this location to any and every -one.

    Absolutely incredible service from the lovely front of house person to Tam. They radiated kindness, positive energy and professionalism. Tam is truly a pro and an artist, she took her time, gave me amazing suggestions I wouldn’t have thought of and, did an amazing job making the piercing process pain free and easy! I left thrilled with my new piercings, jewelry and the overall experience! Highly recommend!

    I had a great experience here at Studs Union Market. Tam was my piercer. She was patient, encouraging, energetic, she provided clips for my hair & a stress ball because she knew I was anxious …she really made it a calm experience for me after 3 decades of having my first piercing. She was so good I went back for a 2nd time in one week. The person I had when I returned wasn’t as warm & fuzzy. Maybe he was having a bad day.. but I did not feel as calm, I wasn’t provided or asked If I needed hair clips, wasnt asked if I needed the stress ball, .. there was just less bedside manner. I wont name his name because he did get the job done. And I won’t deduct stars for that experience. Everyone else that works there has been a pleasure! I will definitely go back for a 3rd time.
