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 an amazing experience with Elizabeth at STUDS! She pierced my second lobes and made the whole process so easy and comfortable. She walked me through every step, answered all my questions, and made sure everything was perfectly even before starting. The piercing itself was super quick, clean, and honestly way less painful than I expected.
Elizabeth has such a calming energy and clearly knows her craft—her attention to detail is unmatched. The studio was spotless, stylish, and welcoming, too. My ears are healing beautifully, and I’m already thinking about coming back for another piercing with her. Highly recommend booking with Elizabeth if you want a professional, friendly, and flawless piercing experience

Passed by while visiting the Rockerfeller with my family. After my visit i went back to the shop and walked in for a piercing. Got advice on where and what type of piercing i should go for. I opted for a trainee apprentice as was given the option. Forest was my piercer. Awesome job and made me feel super comfortable. Such a friendly, clean, organised studio. Great aftercare advice given too. Highly recommend if you are in the area. Mine was a spontaneous decision, sometimes these things are best when they are and you don’t overthink them! Good luck on the rest of your training Forest. I’ll be back when i hope to visit NYC again.
