  I first got a piercing from STUDS in NYC and I had such an amazing experience. I came to the Fenway location hoping it’ll be just as great if not better. Unfortunately, I was mistaken. Upon walking in the door with 3 of my friends I was RUDELY “greeted” by the lady at the front desk. She immediately raised her voice at us saying “Why do you have MY door open? It’s either you’re in or you’re out. Get inside or get out.” Honestly I was upset because I hadn’t said one word to her before she created a hostile environment. It made my friends and I VERY uncomfortable. Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend coming to this location. Beforehand I read similar reviews and it seems like Studs has not done anything about this matter. If you don’t have a reservation, I wouldn’t waste the time to make the trip over. All I wanted was to resize my piercing jewelry but the lady at the front desk dismissed us and quite literally told us to leave.

  I got my piercings done with Chloe and she was amazing! She talked me through the whole process and made sure I was comfortable and happy with the placement of my earrings before she did it. I will definitely recommend to anyone who wants to get their earrings done here.

  It was my first time here and we had stumbled across the website when looking for a place that offered ear scaping. Traffic was crazy on a holiday/marathon weekend so we were late for our scheduled appointment, but we were greeted happily and helped right away to find our jewelry and another staff member checked my ear anatomy to see which piercings would be best! Everyone was super nice and let us take our time even though it was very busy in there and I personally would’ve felt stressed! The piercer Daniel was also very patient and honest about not doing a piercing that I was originally looking for because I didn’t have the anatomy for it, which I appreciated. The piercings themselves were super quick and I love how they came out! Will definitely be back!

  I’ve gotten multiple piercings here over the course of around two and a half years. My first was a helix, which turned out pretty well. Then I got my seconds which were also fine, alongside a conch. I got an industrial in between, and it’s been almost two years since, but one of the industrial piercing holes refused to completely heal, and I’ve since given up and taken out the piercing. Industrials shouldn’t take more than a year to a year and a half to heal completely, and that’s a generous time frame. Studs is pretty clean and very easy to get simpler piercings, but don’t come here for more complex ones, especially the industrial. I’ve put in jewelry to try and save the holes since I don’t want all my pain and effort over the last two years to go to waste, but the two bars are noticeably misaligned, indicating that the industrial wasn’t pierced properly and would never have healed. I’ve historically healed very well from piercings and this was the only piercing I’ve ever gotten irritation bumps from and the only one I’ve given up on.

  Infected along with several other people I met in the waiting room. I got a simple double lobe piercing. About three months in, I went in and they cleared me to downsize the posts and start wearing other jewelry. It quickly became super infected, ultimately requiring antibiotics from my doctor. When I went to a reputable local piercer to address the infection, they informed me the piercing had been done at an angle, making it much more prone to complications. About four/five months after the original piercing, still healing, with a big upcoming personal event, I went back to buy a matching stud for the double piercing on my other side, so I wouldn’t be mismatched. They sold me a piece of piercing jewelry I later realized I couldn’t even use (and that was more expensive than their standard jewelry). They were really difficult about issuing me a refund for the piercing and jewelry (they initially told me they would), though they eventually did. Between medical bills and corrective work with a qualified piercer, this experience cost me hundreds. I strongly recommend going to an experienced local professional instead.
