I’ve been meaning to come to this place since they opened. It’s super trendy. We walked by and decided to get piercings. There was maybe a 15 minute wait. My friends and I got one piercing each. The area was clean and the process went smoothly. I don’t have any complaints. The piercing specialist was super nice and walked us through while piercing.

Alexa was my piercer and she’s awesome! Everything was clearly explained from the beginning to the end of my appointment. I really appreciated her honesty that the daith piercing I came in for might hold on one ear but would definitely be a no in my other ear. I may still try the daith in one ear or I’ll just choose another part of my ear to pierce but either way I’ll definitely be back!

First time being pierced at Studs! Emily was so professional and quick! The pain was minimal and the piercings look great. I will continue to go see Emily for the completion of my ears.
The front desk staff so was kind and helpful as well. Everyone I interacted with throughout my experience was very knowledgeable.
Def recommend Studs for your ear art ♥️

I used to have nothing but the best things to say about this place but it has genuinely changed when they hired a new piercer. I booked an appointment and when the lady who was evaluating me said she wouldn’t double pierce me because she was too afraid made me disappointed. She wanted to only pierce me on one side of my ear and wouldn’t do the other side because she wanted to see how it would turn out. I’m not booking an appointment with you for four piercings for you to tell me that you’re afraid and want to see how they would turn out. I’m booking with you because I am fully aware of any rejection my ear may have but want to spend my money on a re piercing that I’ve done a year ago and had no problem when I got the piercing done on both sides. The piercer did not care for what I had to say nor did she care that she was fully smacking her gum in my ear during her evaluation of my ears. She was highly rude and did not care for my opinion in the matter of MY ear piercing that I AM paying for. Will not be getting pierced by them unless there is a different piercer.
