- ACArtist Contact3 days ago5.0My partner and I came in on a whim, but the Studs’ team was accommodating of us walking in. Liv, our piercer, was knowledgeable and friendly. The work station was cleanly and Liv made sure to show us all the tools being freshly unpackaged to ensure sanitary standards were met. She happily answered our follow up questions when my partner’s ears felt a bit tender a few days afterwards. In the end, the new piercings healed wonderfully and our experience was a very successful one!
- LDLauren DavisOct 8, 20255.0I have gone here to get my first lobes re pierced, my seconds, and most recently got my first cartilage, a conch. Specifically Jade is awesome, she did my seconds and conch. I am terrified of needles and am not the best with pain but she is so calm and makes the experience as painless/not scary as possible. My piercings have been fast and have had zero healing issues. Would highly recommend Jade to anyone :)
- MGMelissa GallardoSep 14, 20255.0Walked in on a Saturday and was done in ten minutes or less! Great staff, pricing was reasonable, Red helped me pick out jewelry that matched my other piercings. She was very clear on her process and so wonderful!
- MCMatthew CarpenterSep 13, 20255.0I had an amazing experience at STUDS! Prior to getting my lobes pierced at STUDS I had never had a piercing before. And let me tell you, I am so so happy with my choice of choosing STUDS. 10/10 experience. Everyone in the store was welcoming and extremely professional. It's been 2 weeks since I got my lobes pierced and they look so good! Thank you STUDS!!!
- LLLaneAug 10, 20255.0I have had 15+ piercings at a number of shops around the world and this was the best experience I’ve had. Jade was very sweet and gave me several options of piercing location & jewelry that would work with my anatomy and existing piercings. I think it’s one of the only shops in Seattle that does just piercings instead of a tattoo shop that does piercings as a secondary business.
