The experience to have a piercing done at Maria Tash is amazing. My piercer Mary did an amazing job explaining everything before, during and after the piercing. All staff are very helpful and caring and give great advice on placing and which piece to choose. Can recommend Maria Tash to everyone that would like a piercing. All excellent and exceptional service.

I had such a great experience at Maria Tash. Mary, the piercer, was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. She walked me through placement options, helped me decide what would look best for my ear, and made sure I felt completely comfortable. She even assured me that I could contact or visit her anytime for a checkup, which I really appreciated.
The rest of the staff was just as kind and helpful, especially when it came to choosing the right jewelry. They made the whole process easy and enjoyable.
I would definitely come back here for my next piercing. Highly recommend!

I went with my sister to Maria Tash for her piercing, and Mary was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Even though I was just there for support this time, she had me feeling excited and low‑key jealous because her energy is just that contagious. She’s precise, upbeat, and genuinely passionate about what she does — you can feel it the moment she starts working.
My sister and I always do our piercings together, and Mary made the whole experience fun, smooth, and special. She was so energetic and so precise that it made me even more excited for my own piercing. I’ve been saving for a specific piece from Maria Tash for a while, and after watching her work today, Mary is officially my go‑to person when I’m ready. She’s phenomenal.
Highly recommend her, she makes the whole experience unforgivable.

I had the best experience getting my ear piercing with Mary at Maria Tash in the Galleria Mall in Houston. From the moment I sat down, her energy was amazing — she was so upbeat, reassuring, and genuinely excited for me that it made the whole experience even better than I expected.
She made sure I was completely comfortable the entire time, walked me through every step, and was incredibly precise with the placement. I explained the inspiration I had for my final ear piece, and she made sure everything lined up perfectly. The end result was absolutely stunning.
What made it even more special is how involved she was throughout the process. She even let my sister be part of the moment, which meant a lot since we do this together often. Mary was so sweet, patient, and truly invested in making the experience memorable.
She also gave clear, detailed aftercare instructions to keep my piercing clean and healing properly. I left feeling confident, excited, and so happy with how everything turned out.
I highly recommend Mary — she made the entire experience unforgettable.

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. If the parent/legal guardian and child have different surnames, we require further identification to confirm guardianship i.e. a birth certificate. Please check each store policy as age when earlobe and cartilage piercing is permitted may vary by region.
Do you pierce with a needle or a piercing gun?
All of our piercings are made with single use sterile needles rather than piercing guns. We do not use piercing guns as they are not very accurate and cannot be properly sterilized.
