We’ve reimagined a better ear-piercing experience to help you get the look you want, stress-free.
We offer ear piercings with needles (never piercing guns!) for better precision, safety and healing, as well as a wide assortment of cute, high-quality piercing jewelry options at a range of prices.
My two friends and I came to Boston for a girls trip and it was our first day. We had just finished a yummy lunch full of laughter and we were feeling fun and spontaneous. We were across the street when we spotted Studs, we had all been talking about adding to our earring stacks at lunch. Vibes were high until we walked into the Studs Back Bay location. When trying to discuss options and what studs had to offer, the receptionist was dismissive and short. At one point, the receptionist told me I was speaking for my group, when my intention was to gain more information. This experience was suppose to be exciting, but unfortunately it was not. I do give this worker the benefit of the doubt that she might’ve just been having a bad day, but this experience did temporarily put a bad taste in our mouths.

While walking through Bayback while in Boston I stumbled upon studs. I’ve been meaning to switch out my cartilage piercing from a stud to a hoop. Walked in on a Friday afternoon and it wasn’t busy. Looked at the jewelry and saw what my options were, the worker was very helpful and so was my piercer. I didn’t have to wait to get pierced. My piercer Jess was super friendly and professional. She helped me get the correct size of the hoop and switched it out easily. I just learned studs in a franchise with many locations across America. I checked out easily and was on my way. There’s some street parking but overall can be hard to find parking out here.
