Absolutely five stars for Maria Tash Houston! ✨
I had the BEST experience thanks to my dream team, Joseph, my stylist wizard, and Maria, the most precise and calming piercer ever.
Joseph helped me choose the perfect pieces and made me feel like I was building my own little ear-art masterpiece 💎. Maria worked her magic: quick, smooth, and basically painless. She explained everything, made me feel completely at ease, and delivered the most gorgeous placement.
The vibes? Immaculate.
The service? Perfection.
My ear? Obsessed. 😍
If you’re thinking about getting pierced or upgrading your stack, go see them. You’ll walk out sparkling and smiling!

The service at Maria Tash was great, and the staff were very professional and friendly. However, I’m disappointed with the design I chose for my navel piercing — it keeps sticking to all my clothes, which makes it really uncomfortable to wear. I wish I had been advised that this design might not be practical for everyday use.
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.
