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 live more than an hour from the store. I booked an appointment at the day that I will be in the area. My appointment was at 6:40 PM. When I got there, I was told it was going to be about 20 mins wait and I was fine with that. Few minutes later I was told that it was going to be longer than that. The girl at the front also keep saying that my appointment was for a downsize and that I don't need a downsize even though I booked a check up because I'm having some pain in my piercing. I'm thinking it shouldn't take that long to look at my piercing. I was told there's nothing they could do. What's the point of having an appointment if it's not going to be honored. I said that it's inconvenient because I do have an appointment and she said that this person also has an appointment. I don't think that should affect mine.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a more comfortable and calming piercing experience than I did at STUDS in Harvard Square!! Being greeted by Gigi and explained prices and options, and then the most AMAZING piercer Lily I have ever encountered. I could rave all day but truly you need to experience them for yourself. I wish I could give 5 stars every day. I’ll continue to come for all my piercings!!! Thank you again Lily and Gigi!! <3

The friendliest and most competent team ever. I got my helix pierced there almost a year ago. Since then I went back several times for down sizing, aftercare, etc. and they were always incredibly helpful and friendly.

super smooth and quick piercing process for my third lobe piercings, by far the easiest to navigate! Super cute and affordable jewelry options as well. I'll be going back for sure.
