  Got 3 piercings and had to take one out. It was growing over and rejecting after a week. I think they pierced it wrong because it was growing into my skin and wouldnt come out. Tried to call them but they dont have a phone system. And I sent 2 emails so far and no one has responded. So getting piercings and no follow up when youre having issues is terrible customer service. I will be going to experienced piercers from now on. Spend your money somewhere else. Ive never had a piercing reject before and I have a lot of piercings.

  I went in to re-pierce an old hole that had closed up. The entire team from start to finish was incredibly kind, helpful, communicative, and professional. From being greeted when I walked in, updated while I waited on the jewelry to be sanitized, and then walked through each and every step of the piercing. I felt comfortable, welcome, and prepared for each step. I would absolutely come back here to get another piercing! Edited to add: I had already purchased multiple earrings from STUDS, but this was my first piercing experience with them. To give further context on the jewelry itself - they have HANDS DOWN the best flatback studs on the market. The insertion tool is insanely helpful, their size guides are educational, and their designs are stunning and unique. It's because I loved their jewelry that I chose to come here for my piercing, and I'm so glad I did because it was fantastic!

  My piercing that was closed and healed for three years now reopened because of an incompetent apprentice working here unsurpervised. I emailed then and im not satisfied with their response. Weeks later and my ear is still intermittently swollen and hot because they REPIERCED my ear instead of changing the jewelry the way I asked. I was so shocked by the pain that shot through my body because I only consented to a jewelry change. DO NOT EVER GO HERE! They should be looked into by whoever regulates piercing shops.

  Everyone at this location is very kind and professional. Elizabeth did four piercings for me and she was great! I let her pick the locations of each piercing and I love how it turned out.

  I'm saddened to write this review because at first I had a good experience here. My piercer was lovely, process was quick, they were very accomodating. I got two piercings (upper lobe, cartilage). Walking in to STUDS, I already had 18 piercings on my ears -- all have healed with no complications or infections. The evening of my piercing at STUDS, my neck started to get red and itchy and hot only a couple hours later. The morning after I woke to excruciating pain (even after following the usual recommended aftercare) that even a double dose of ibuprofen could not take the edge off of. My ear was so swollen, not only around the piercing site, that it started to fold in on itself. I had to go to urgent care where they immediately put me on a strong antibiotic 4 times a day for a week -- and they told me that if the pain didn't subside by the next day I would have to go to the ER bc the infection was so severe. Because my body has never reacted this way and I followed all the normal protocol, I can confidently state this was an oversight of the piercer or the piercing conditions. My biggest advice is to find a reputable piercing shop -- one that deals with body modifications -- and go there even if the price is steep. STUDS is not cheap but their commercialization pads their reputation even if their standards are not up to par. Can post the pictures if requested, but they are IMO too graphic.
