Purchased an earring online and had a terribly difficult time getting it into my piercing hole. When I went to return not only did the people working offer a quick solution - they made it a memorable happy experience and I didn’t have to return my earring and get to show it off now! Love the NYC collection!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience! They walked me through the options, were patient with me when I needed a second after the piercing, brought me something to drink, and were above and beyond caring. The piercings have healed great and I get so many compliments on them! I am going back tomorrow for another!

Visited Studs after a friend suggested I check them out. I went in for a midi piercing and had a wonderful experience. The store is clean, adorable and has lots of earrings to choose from, including those you can pick for your piercing. Everyone was very friendly and my piercer Jasmine couldn’t have been better. She made the entire experience so comfortable and I walked out loving my new piercing and hardly in any pain.
