- AHAsia HenleyFeb 17, 20265.0Experience was quick & seamless. I’ll definitely be back to finish my ear stack.
- KHKaely HarrodFeb 9, 20265.0I highly recommend this location. The person at the front desk was amazing and Nora was my piercer and was super kind, informative and did a great job doing my piercing. I will definitely be back! I got stacked lobe on both sides and a conch piercing.
- THTyler HoyleFeb 6, 20264.0I really loved my piercer! Super professional and clean. The only thing is I was deciding between a pink or iridescent piercing…and I choose the pink but didn’t realize until I went home that the piercer pierced me with my second option. I thought I had made it clear that I decided on the pink one but maybe not’ Not the biggest deal since I can switch it out in a few months but I was a little disappointed. Otherwise, I’d highly recommend!
- HBHannah BeallJan 29, 20265.0First visit to the Union Market location! I walked in today for my tragus and upper midi (to create a snakebite). Norah, my piercer, was amazing! She was kind and bubbly and did a fabulous job! The manager, Ellen, could not have been kinder at check out! I’ve never been disappointed at Studs, but this visit was so enjoyable!! Thank you team Union Market!
