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.
i had such a lovely experience getting my fourth lobe and flat helix piercings done at Studs! the whole team treated me with such kindness and respect, and my piercer Lily was a gem (no pun intended). Lily took the time to explain every step of the process and to make sure i was completely happy with the piercing placements, and when i felt a bit woozy after the flat helix, they swooped in with a juice box, ice pack, and encouraging words to help me feel better. their thoughtful and thorough work made the process just about as fun and peaceful as getting pierced can be :)

I went to this store in May and got three pricing. After 4 months I went back to have them check the progress and to down size. All was good until this month. Two out of the three earring backs became part of my ears. Like my ear had absorbed the backs and I had to go to the hospital to have them removed. I’m am not sure what I did wrong due to them all being gullies heals and checked up on based on what I was instructed. I will not be busing and eating from here nor getting them repierced due to none of the the employees being able to explain what went wrong. This is the only time that this has happened to me and not my first time getting my ears pierced.

The people at this location were all so sweet and knowledgeable. My friend and I walked in considering getting some impulse piercings. After talking to the piercers a bit about my previous experiences and showing them my daith I got pierced in Rhode Island, they were super helpful and let me know that the piercing was done incorrectly which was why it wasn’t healing. I really appreciated that they seemed to have my best interests at heart, and it made me feel confident in being pierced there.
I got my nostril pierced with Lily who was just so kind and helpful in finding my perfect placement. They also did such an incredible job on the piercing itself. I will definitely return here for future piercings!
