    new helix earring (top) and piercing! (bottom)
    Julianne T.

    I came a couple weeks ago and I had a great experience! I came after I got out of school around 2pm to see if they had any walk-ins available and they did not so I made an appointment with the help of Daisy. She was very nice and helped me pick out a new piercing for one of my healed helix piercings. I had my actual piercing appointment at 5pm with Jo and she was soo helpful!! I got a daith and another helix piercing. Jo gave me a stress ball to squeeze whenever it was time to start. I have never had a daith before and I was nervous but she was talking me through everything she was doing and counted down before she pierced me. I actually didn't feel the daith at all and only felt discomfort when she was putting the jewelry on and removing the guide needle. Other than that, I was all good to go in like 10 minutes! The helix didn't hurt at all either. She was very thorough and efficient in piercing me. I definitely would come back again! **2 hour update** I will say after about 2 hours of being at home post-piercing I did not know that my daith would bleed like crazy LOL I was freaking out a bit because I was not warned about this but granted, everyone is different. I was able to control the bleeding after letting it dry up but I had to sleep on a towel for a little bit to catch the blood. It was definitely a surprise to see this happen because this never happened with any of my other piercings but the bleeding stopped after a few hours. I did post a picture of when it was bleeding to when I got my ear all cleaned up in case someone was going through the same thing! I believe this was completely normal because of the placement but it could also just be me too lol

    Omg I love this place! Had a "me" day and got my rook and tragus pierced. The atmosphere is super colorful, inviting, and a total vibe. All of the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about their products, offerings, and process. I was a walk in and waited no more than 10 ish minutes to be pierced. They have a great selection to choose from and all earrings are hypoallergenic so no skin freak outs here. The aftercare support is phenomenal. I want to go back for more

    Upper Lobe (third piercing on both sides) + replace daith jewelry. I visited Studs yesterday with a friend to get pierced and have to say it was one of the best piercing experiences I've ever had. Jo was my piercer and she was so professional, friendly, and warm. She was able to walk me and my friend through every single step and made sure to keep us at ease. I would recommend booking with her if you plan to go. As for the front staff, they were kind but thought could be a bit more helpful with everyone who went in. I'd definitely visit again and get pierced by Jo. Thanks again for a positive experience.

    I came here on a whim with my sister (we had just had lunch in Rice Village and walked by the store). Both of us were looking to get our helixes pierced. We walked in, signed up for the waitlist, and picked out our studs. The actual shop is super cute and well merchandised, and there were lots of options to choose from. I settled on a 14Kt gold stud, but they do have other metal options as well. There was barely any wait, so after about 5-10 minutes we were called in. Our piercer Jax was super nice and knowledgeable and made the process painless (at least, as painless as piercing can be!). From beginning to end we were both in the store under half an hour and walked out with our new piercings! I'm already thinking about what to get next time.

    The process was smooth and professional. The piercer, Ashley, was gentle and explained what to expect. I got a helix piercing and a new piece of jewelry for amy flat piercing. I will likely get my next piercing here.

    I recently got a piercing done here and the experience was amazing Jax was my piercer and I loved it! I was wanting to get a flat piercing and she guide me through the process and helped me decide what was best for me and my healing process. She was right the healing process is going great and I get tons of compliments. Can't wait to go back and get more!

    Loved it!

    My nieces and I came here for the first time to get a new piercings. They are very professional and very clean. My person today was Jax. She was amazing! I will definitely be back for more.

    Firstly, let's mention how cute this place is! Now fair warning, this place can be pricey - considering they offer 14K gold earrings and a large selection of jewelry. The earrings themselves can range from $30 - $130. I would definitely keep this in mind when mapping your new ear. Overall, the staff was amazing, nice, and calming. Although I have many piercings, the jitters never really go away. They have stress balls to help, which I thought was amazing. The piercer was terrific, she helped choose my jewelry, changed 3 piercings, and still pierced my ear (I only made an appointment for a piercing). I love how I didn't feel rushed. I felt that genuine thought and care was put into my piercing placement and design. Now, I took one star off due to the company's policy of only being able to get two piercings here within 8 months, as a piercing junkie - my body, my choice lol.

    Rook and flat piercings 4 days later!

    Absolutely LOVED my experience at Studs Rice Village! I came with a group of 8 on a Thursday afternoon/evening since we all decided to get appointments the same day. We didn't book a private event since it would've costed $500 to have the space and the minimum spend amount for the group would've been $2000, which would've been too much for me and my fellow grad students who came with me. Long story short, we are all VERY happy with our piercings (some of us got rooks, daiths, snakebites, stacked lobes, conch, and others)! I got two piercings on one ear: one rook and one flat. I could choose the jewelry I wanted for the flat but the rook had only one option (titanium barbell). I got a 3-stone pavé stud for my flat. My piercer was Tina, who did such an amazing job with my ear and the final product is gorgeous! Tina is very experienced and was very good about making the experience quick and easy. We pierced the rook first, then the flat. I knew the rook was going to hurt, but I really overestimated the pain; it wasn't too bad! (But everyone has a different pain tolerance so keep that in mind.) Tina also made sure that my conch piercing was adequately healed before she started the piercing! I appreciated the attentiveness. Also, ask about their student discount! My whole purchase was $132 before tax and tip. Afterwards we get a cute little pouch with any extra jewelry we buy and some coupons. There's even a rewards program...which I will definitely participate in. Parking situation: on-site and garage

    Studs is amazing! Never had such a seamless experience when getting piercings. I got 2 new beautiful additions by Jax & I AM IN LOVE! (Helix & conch) She is clean, understanding, quick, and most definitely talented! Definitely recommend everyone to go visit!

    Flat helix piercing by Jax!
    Yvonne Y.

    This is my go-to piercing place! It's professional, clean, and safe. And Jax has become my go-to piercer! She has an incredible eye and pays attention to the flow of your earscape. She gives individualized recommendations for future piercing placements based on your ear anatomy. I can't wait to go back for more piercings because I know they'll look good and feel relatively painless!

    Then my piercer Jo was very patient with me and educated me about my choice of piercing & anatomy of the placement.

    It Texas a long time to get a tattoo, and poor people get better food, honestly... luckily, I…read moream-poor, yum! As you can see, this place can do some seriously sexy tattoos for some seriously sexy people. They can do big ones and they can handle it just fine. So they're very professional and very sexy and very in tune with the human body. My friend who is in porn is covered in tattoos from head to toe, and she thinks these guys are some of the best in town. I paid for at least one of her tattoos at this place as well as some others at other places, and this one is the one that we both agree is the sexiest. And the most professional too. Of all the tats I've gotten her, this is her fave. Of all her tats in total, this is in her top 5 and she has at least 50 (not exaggerating).

    I have 4 piercings done by Byriah and 6 in total(2 plugs, 2 helix, 1 nose ring and 1 daith and all…read morebut the plugs were by him) and he's always been a professional and takes cleanliness VERY seriously which is very important. He takes the time to go through your requests so that you know what you're in for and he actually cares how they look as well. He spent the time thinking about how the Helix I just got lined up with the one I got 5 years ago. I ended up fainting for the first time in my life probably because I had very little sleep and didn't eat for several hours before but he took care of me and made sure I had my energy up before leaving and walked me out. He's a good man who does good work. I think I need one more before I'm done for good and will be back. I recommend him to anyone who needs to get pierced.

Valentin was my tattoo artist and dude he's amazing i gave him the inspo and he went beyond it, we talked about the place and how it would look at certain angle and position, the whole thing took 5 hours, he would give me breaks and I also remember that I came in right when he was about to eat I felt so bad :c I was also hungry mid tattoo so he offered me one of his egg rolls after that I was getting a little of pain and asked for numb Cream and it went by pretty smooth... I also forgot to mention that he gave me pasties and made me feel pretty comfortable during my tattoo it was an amazing experience since I told him I had a bad experience with the 2 other places I've been before and he exceed my expectations it's been 7 months since I got my tattoo and I just love it... i really recommend Valentin for black tattoos Lol I also decided on not doing the starts bc of the pain but hey still looks pretty sick I also forgot to add the he added better designs like the brow area of the moon and the shading !
