We had such a wonderful experience at Maria Tash. My son and I felt genuinely welcomed, and Kristina and Mary were absolutely amazing. Their kindness, patience, and warm energy made the visit special and memorable. It’s rare to find a place where you feel truly cared for, and they delivered that effortlessly. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you both for making our experience so great!

Had a great experience with Kris and Leslie. Patient, knowledgeable about the product, and repped the company well and Maria’s mission with the company. Happy with my purchase and now I have no choice but to buy more 😂

I had a wonderful experience at Maria Tash in the Galleria. The staff is professional, knowledgeable and have incredible style. I was so impressed with Elle, my stylist. She was patient, listened carefully to what I wanted and came up with great ideas. Because of her suggestions, I ended up with a fabulous sword encrusted with black diamonds and rubies that bisects the top of my ear - I have had so many compliments!! I also need to mention Mary, my piercer. They couldn't have been more calm, reassuring and precise. Mary made sure was comfortable with every step of the process. For incomparable style, unparalleled cool-factor and a highly professional service, I recommend a piercing from Maria Tash!

I came in for my first two piercings January 2025 and have been back many times since.
Leslie has been helping me since day one. She is always extremely polite, gives great styling suggestions, and lets me shop without being pushy (very refreshing).
I now have 8 new piercings I’m 100% happy with and I’m already thinking of a couple more.
Thank you Leslie! Thank you Paul! I appreciate your time, intention, and attention.
Highly recommend this location, everyone is super friendly and the fine jewelry speaks for itself.
Frequently Asked Questions About MARIA TASH | Fine Jewelry & Luxury Piercing
Are your earrings sold as singles or pairs?
MARIA TASH jewelry is sold as singles unless otherwise stated. To order a pair, please add two of the items to your cart. Our large earrings are the only items we sell in pairs. These items are pictured as a pair and the product description also states that they’re sold as a pair.
What size jewelry works best for me?
Our experience involves you pairing one-on-one with our stylists to completely guide you through your styling and piercing. There are multiple sizes to our jewelry, but our team will make sure that you are properly sized and confident.
What is the difference between a threaded and traditional stud?
Threaded backings use a screw-on/off design that makes the earring stay more securely in the ear. This is our standard style of jewelry. A traditional backing is also available. This is the traditional style of earring where you have a butterfly back that is separate and pushes onto the post to hold the jewelry in place.
Do I need to book an appointment?
Appointments are preferred for piercings but walk-ins are always welcome depending on availability. Appointments are not required for fittings and installs or purchasing jewelry.
Can I be pierced with my own jewelry?
Due to sterilization needs, we do not pierce with jewelry that is not MARIA TASH. The best selections from our full collection will be available for styling and piercing. Our styles come in white, yellow, rose, and black gold. You're welcome to bring in your existing Maria Tash pieces and consult with a piercer to see if it can be used for an initial piercing.
How many piercings can I get in one session?
We recommend up to four piercings per session, but this is dependent on the piercings you are thinking about and your anatomy. Our stylists and piercers can best consult with you during your visit.
Can I be pierced if I am under 18?
Yes, please see piercing services page for each Maria Tash location. You must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and you both must bring ID with you.

Please check each store policy as age when earlobe and cartilage piercing is permitted may vary by region.
