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 had a few piercings here about a week ago and it felt like a factory. They were very quick when I would have preferred them to slow down, do things right, let me have time to think more about the placement or ask questions. It was also very dark and cramped in the piercing room. Worst part was that while they did use a needle, I assumed they would've used ALL the proper piercing utensils including the small clamp to hold your ear in place when the needle goes in. However, they did not, they simply poked the needle through blind and hoped for the best. This meant the needle moved as it went in, and resulted in placement issues. I got two piercing and took one out immediately after as I was not happy with the placement. The other looked okay at first, but as swelling has gone down I have noticed it is a millimeter or two lower than what I would have liked. I think it is because the needle slid down my cartilage to the soft part. If they had used the clamp, as they should have, to keep it exactly in place, I think it would have been perfect. I am now debating taking out this second piercing too...but because it is almost right I'm having a hard time accepting a potential scar or mark there. Sorry but next time I'll be going to a real body shop--one that actually cares about precision. These are permanent body changes and should not be take as lightly as they take it here. If you specialize in something, than be an expert at it!!! They rely on flashy marketing and pretty jewelry, while not actually caring much about the profession of piercing.

I had the most amazing experience, the piercing was quick and the space was very sanitary. The piercer and the person at the front were both very nice. I got a helix piercing and it’s been about a month without any problems. I don’t regret choosing this place at all.

The staff was wonderful at this location. However, the healing process and jewelry sold by this company are less than ideal. This is not my first time with unique piercings and body jewelry. The ear piercing took abnormally long to heal and the jewelry I purchased consistently infects the area. Any other jewelry I use does not bother the piercing I received at this Studs. I am not impressed considering the price point of the earring I chose. I would not recommend purchasing their products.
