This is my third piercing with Studs. Katie did my Tragus piercing. She was lovely, patient and really explained the entire process clearly. I had been contemplating the piercing for 2 years and so happy I finally did it. The staff there were also super friendly in helping me pick out jewelry. I went to the one in Hudson Yards, super convenient to get to.

I had two piercings done with studs in Hudson Yards about 2 years ago and they did a phenomenal job and provided beautiful, quality jewelry. So much so, that I just bought two more new earrings with them. Their customer service is so exceptional that when I had one of the earrings accidentally fall out a week later (likely due to how I inserted it); they absolutely understood and reordered me a new one. Absolutely amazing!!! Love this place.

What a wonderful experience overall. Last weekend I had my best friend in town after 5 years apart and we came across this location. I had JUST been talking about wanting to get a second piercing so of course we convinced each other to go for it. The staff were all so lovely and helpful. The piercer was great and so far everything is healing wonderfully. I highly recommend Studs if you are thinking of adding a new ear piercing.
