- EBEnid BravoMay 11, 20265.0Had such a great experience at Studs! The staff was friendly, patient, and made me feel really comfortable during my piercing appointment. Everything felt clean and professional, and I love how my piercing turned out. Definitely coming back!
- NNNabinaMay 5, 20262.0Pros- the piercer was friendly and the space was clean Cons - I got a piercing on a Monday evening and took it out on Tuesday morning. Although I showed the piercer a picture of what I wanted, she still kept marking the placement off, and then once she pierced it I realized that I needed to take into account the earrings. But I feel like that is the expertise that the piercer should offer, especially bc I showed her a picture of how I wanted the placement to look.
- ACAlexa ColeApr 22, 20265.0Had such a great experience with Osee!! She was incredibly kind, professional, really took the time to listen to what I wanted and offered such helpful input so that we could land on the right spot! Her calm and reassuring energy also made the entire process feel SO easy and stress-free! So excited for more piercings—highly recommend!
- KKKaTApr 18, 20265.0This was an awesome experience. My partner and I went on a whim to get piercings. We made a same day appointment and headed to DC. The place was easy to find, clean and bright, friendly staff, small but cute. Our piercer was Tamara she was very informative, kind, knowledgeable, patient and overall just a great employee. She gave us great directions on the healing process and maintenance/up keep until our next visit. The selection of earrings is great and the process was easy and smooth. Definitely better than a mall piercing or even a tattoo shop. Thanks!
- AMApril MabeApr 13, 20261.0"I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Studs. What should have been a celebration 🥳 turned into a medical ⚕️nightmare. Shortly after my appointment (April 2) , I developed a severe infection that required multiple doctor visits, various 💊 antibiotics, and creams. The infection was so bad I had to have the earring professionally removed and still undergo ongoing treatment for my 👂 ear. Save your 💰 money and your health 🩺 by going elsewhere." You have No ⛔️ way to Contact 📱 anyone after your percing. Customer service was No 🚫 help. Now I have a hole 🕳 in my ear, Infection. No earring 😕. Lots of my Money 💵. And in extreme pain 😢.
