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.
Got a spontaneous conch piercing, 5 stars experience. Piercer Carmen was amazing and made the experience super easy. All the staff members were kind and attentive. Love my new piercing🥰

After a disappointing experience elsewhere, I stopped into Studs and am so glad I did.
From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, friendly, and professional. Bella helped me pick out my earrings and had the sweetest, most calming presence. She was patient, knowledgeable, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. She made what could have been a stressful experience feel easy and enjoyable.
Carmen was my piercer, and she was fantastic. She explained everything clearly, made me feel comfortable throughout the process, and did an excellent job with my second lobe piercings. The piercing itself was quick, smooth, and much less intimidating than I expected.
I was also pleasantly surprised by the pricing. Both ear piercings were $55 total, and even with the flat-back jewelry, my total came to around $150. The follow-up appointment to switch to shorter posts is only $20, which felt very reasonable and transparent.
What stood out most was the customer service. Everyone was kind, welcoming, and genuinely seemed happy to help. I left feeling excited about my new piercings instead of stressed about the experience.
Highly recommend Studs, especially Bella and Carmen. I’ll definitely be back for future piercings and jewelry purchases!

I had my helix piercing done at Studs on January 15. The piercer specifically told me that I could change my jewelry after 3 months. My friend was with me during the appointment and heard the same information.
I followed all aftercare instructions and consistently cleaned and cared for my piercing. Despite this, it never healed properly. The area remained painful, and I developed a persistent bump next to the piercing that would not go away.
After more than 5 months of dealing with ongoing pain and irritation, I decided to schedule a check-up because it was simply too painful to keep waiting and hoping it would improve on its own.
I booked my appointment online for 6:40 PM and arrived early. Despite having an appointment, I ended up waiting for over an hour. After already waiting 40 minutes, I was told there were still other clients ahead of me. The wait continued, and I eventually left after more than an hour because there wasn’t even a place to sit while waiting.
I am extremely disappointed with both the aftercare guidance I received and the customer service. I followed the instructions I was given, took proper care of my piercing, and still experienced ongoing pain and healing issues. On top of that, having to wait over an hour for a scheduled appointment with no seating available was unacceptable.
