Decided for my birthday I would get my double tragus piercing done and [[HIGHLIGHT]]Red made that possible! She was very gentle and very informative.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is my second time coming to STUDS and what I like about them is that they utilize flat backs. The service was a 10/10 per usually and I will be back to complete my ear stacks read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I had my first visit to Studs, and it did not disappoint![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had a 1:00pm appointment on a Saturday and was able to check-in and choose my jewelry right away.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My piercer, Red, was amazing. They took the time to ensure the placement of my new piercing was exactly where I wanted it. The pain from the piercing was barely noticeable, and after 2 weeks of healing I have no complaints. The jewelry is high quality, and Red's station was exceptionally clean. Pricing seemed comparable to other studios in the area. My total came out to $150 for two piercings, jewelry, and cleaning products. Jewelry is priced per-piece. I was also able to take advantage of their student/teacher discount. I love how the piercing looks and will definitely be back for a jewelry change in a few months. Highly recommend! read more

I have seen Studs online for years and was super excited to finally check them out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Unfortunately, I was really disappointed with their customer service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I went in and tried to be really clear about what I was looking for (new jewelry for my helix and my third piercing in each earlobe). I didn't have an appointment but given I was just looking for help selecting jewelry I didn't think it would be an issue.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The girls working seemed irritated with me for interrupting them when I walked in and did not provide any valuable input whatsoever.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was really disappointed and will NOT be recommending this experience to anyone. Seems like a gentrified piercing parlor - 1 star for how organized and vibey it was inside. Wide array of jewelry to choose from, but honestly not as vast as I expected. read more

Quick, easy and the easiest pricing I've ever gotten and I have 21. Clean, knowledgeable piercers.

First time here and [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had such a great experience![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came really early for my appointment, but they took me in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came for 2 piercings & 2 jewelry changes. Liv was my piercer and she's FANTASTIC! Super skilled, patient, and made me feel so comfortable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The entire staff was incredibly friendly and informative, which was especially helpful for an indecisive person like me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 10000/10 recommend and will definitely be coming back! read more

Came in for a conch piercing and the entire process was so smooth and quick! The piercer, Liv, was super informative and gentle when piercing. I'm currently one week out and my piercing has been healing just fine! Liv was even able to remove one of my other piercing that had been stuck in my ear deep for a while now and it was the most pain free process ever. Definitely recommend coming here for your next piercing! read more

Great service. Very clean. Lots of stud earring options. Beautician tech took time to talk through placement options and how how to place piercings if planning to do more piercings in the future. No issues with healing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really happy with how it turned out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Go get the piercing. You want it, and it's going to be an AMAZING experience! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff are all so incredibly kind and welcoming. Such good vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was so fortunate to have Jade as my piercer. She helped me to select the jewelry that would be best for both my anatomy and healing. She listened to my vision and curated exactly what I wanted - keeping me as part of the decision making process every step of the way.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Jade has such a calm, comforting disposition and always explained what she was doing when physical contact was made. The piercing process itself was quick and, before I ever needed to ask, she would say "it's normal to feel this" so that I never once ever felt anxiety. I am so thankful for this experience and feel soooo beautiful with my new piercings! Thank you Jade & Studs crew! Picture includes the three new piercings: conch and two flats. These piercings were all done same day of posting this review -- look how great they already look! Not angry at all! :) read more

I got my lobes pierced on a whim after passing by the entrance! It's such a cool vibe inside and everyone I interacted with was so approachable and kind to me. My piercer was Jade and I cannot recommend her enough. She gave me sunscreen recommendations and gave me through post piercing advice. The whole process was quick and virtually painless. Can't wait to purchase more earrings from STUDS when my lobs heal! read more

STUDS - Jewelry Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I got my ears pierced here in Dec 2022. I scheduled an earlobe piercing appointment a few weeks beforehand online, no issues at all! It was one of my first piercings that I was nervous but the person peforming piercing was very professional and able to talk me through each step they were taking. I had a great experience, the piercing station was very clean, sterile, and cutely decorated. The piercer will ensure the operation goes exactly how YOU want it to. Note: STUDS jewlery are not the usual 20 gage size. They vary circumference, so please do you research prior to choosing your desired stud piercing. About 6 weeks later, the front part of my left ear stud broke off. The back park was still in my ear but the front part broke in half and with an imminent work travel I ran to the store as soon as they were opened. The individual at the front desk was SO KIND, communicating between the manager and myself to find me a replacement stud. They did not have the same design so I did have to choose something similar for the time being. STUDS did recommend making another appointment to get my replacement placed in my ear, but being that I wouldn't be in town at a later time, I asked for the replacement jewlery and put it in myself at home. I wish the jewlery itself was better quality. I shouldn't have to worry about it breaking only a few weeks without getting a new piercing. However I truly recommend STUDS for piercing if you're looking to get a non piercing gun experience. read more

I really wanted to love this place because [[HIGHLIGHT]]the staff is super friendly and the shop itself is clean and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unfortunately, my experience with the actual piercings was really disappointing. I got four piercings done here, and not a single one healed properly . I've had other piercings before with no issues, so I know this isn't just my body rejecting them--something about the technique or jewelry just isn't right. It's beyond frustrating to spend money on something that ultimately has to be removed due to persistent irritation, poor placement, or just never healing correctly. I appreciate the kindness of the piercers, but at the end of the day, a piercing studio needs to deliver quality piercings that actually last. Sadly, that wasn't my experience here. I am now out $500, 8 months of my time and left with no piercings. read more

My cartilage piercing!!! Best decision I made was to get it from Studs. Everyone at this branch is so so sweet! I have been here twice after to get my piercing checked on. All their tips have been so helpful and it is healing so well. The piercers were so kind during the whole thing. BIG SHOUT OUT to front of staff for being super helpful helping me pick out some extra earrings. They patiently understood my aesthetic and helped me pick some earrings from their collection. They also managed to fix the clamp on one of my loose hoops during a piercing checkup. 100% RECOMMEND GETTING YOUR PIERCINGS AND EARRINGS HERE read more

STUDS - Piercing - Jewelry Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great experience! Clean, adorable, great guidance from the staff. Very cute and trendy jewelry options. I can't wait to go back! They make you wait 8 weeks to get pierced again after you get pierced. You can get up to two piercings at a time, they also offer jewelry changes. Selection of piercing jewelry is smaller than the selection to purchase for pre-existing holes, but I had no problem at all picking out cute options from the piercing selection. 10/10 would recommend! read more

STUDS - Two fresh piercings, two jewelry changes, all earrings sold by Studs. - Jewelry Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Super friendly and professional service! I had such a great time at studs! I made an appointment two weeks before and was greeted at the door immediately. The employees were super informative and helped me pick out the spacing and type of piercing I wanted since I came in without making up my mind. The piercer assisted me with the jewelry selection and consulted me on what would the best placement be. I decided on getting the snakebites and chose a dagger piece initially so she explained that because of the length of the jewelry, the second placement would have to be further away. I'm so grateful for her advice because I'm in love with how it turned out! The piercer explained every single step and made sure I saw everything. The piercing room was very clean and I felt super safe during the entire process. All of the employees were so nice and made me feel comfortable before and after the procedure, I can't wait to go back!! read more

STUDS - Doubles and cartilage done by Jade! - Jewelry Near Me - Seattle, Washington

5 stars for my experience at this location, 3 stars for STUDS in general. The piercer who I had was super personable and taught me a lot about piercings that I didn't know. Everything was extremely clean and felt safe. The 3 stars would have to be for the concept of STUDS and the company as a whole. This is in reference to the expensive prices, at times long waiting times, and getting coupons that you can only use after spending another hefty amount of money. It should also be noted that they ONLY do ear piercings, nothing else. I do believe that high quality jewelry will be expensive, which isn't my issue, but the extra fees felt like a bit too much. Wouldn't go to STUDS again, I think I prefer small business piercing/tattoo studios. read more

To preface, my visit was on 6/23. I was in the area and decided on a whim to get my lobes repierced; I was lucky enough to snag a walk-in. I didn't get their name, but the staff member helping me set up the appointment was friendly and efficient! Mia, my piercer was also friendly, efficient, and professional. They made quickwork of the piercings and explained all the aftercare thoroughly afterwards. Lastly, the staff member helping me get checked out was friendly and knowledgeable. They had a cool Ghibli tattoo too. :-) Overall great experience. Studio is clean and staff are professional, based on my experience. Going back tomorrow for another piercing! :-) read more

Got my third ear lobe piercing here and the whole experience was great! My piercer Jade was super informative and listened to what I was looking to get. It made my trip to Seattle more memorable! read more

Mia was amazing! Got my second lobe here and I love the pink crystal that I got. We had an appointment but still had to wait 15 min. But once it was my turn it only took 2 min, super quick and easy. read more

First the good: the piercer was a nice person who did her job well, and I'd recommend her without hesitation. Nothing exceptional in the service as the store is pretty bare bones (no offer of beverage, no wifi, no bathroom, no hot towels), but then again there was nothing exceptional or tricky in what I wanted. Check-in was smooth, albeit the cell service is terrible in here so you need to go to the door to get signal and finish the check-in waiver. My appointment was on time, no doubt due to its strict late policy. Place seemed clean and the staff was friendly and cheerful. And I was easily charmed into upgrading from basic titanium to gold. The store was packed with what seemed like girls day out groups, and easily could have been a souped up Claires. Checkout was easy enough as they are cashless. But post checkout is where Studs fails in my book. 2 piercings were $50. A very good tip at 20% would be $10. Studs has cards placed at the register that recommend $20, which is 40%, or $30 (60%), or $40 (80%)! So I thought maybe the service tip, for some reason, should include the cost of the jewelry. There seemed to be little agreement on the web and in conversation, but those who did say tip on the jewelry always bought less expensive items, e.g., $20/pair studs. I did leave $20 (Good service) but was fuming later at how I felt shamed by "tipflation". This is a store policy, as evidenced in all of its printed literature. Rather than giving employees a decent wage, it relies on the archaic and discriminatory tipping system. In addition to all this, the corporate website promises a discount of 15% if you sign up. But then an email arrives saying the discount is only good for ONLINE purchases only. Nice little bait and switch. Overall, I'd recommend something such as the more independent and less mallish laughingbuddhatattoo.com. Prices are higher but there is not the passive-aggressive strong arm tipping crap. Stop tipflation! And yes, I did contact corporate about the website discount. The canned reply is that the email restricts discounts to online only, despite the vague website. read more

If you want to go in to support your daughter for a piercing who is afraid of needles don't do it here! If they are 18 they won't allow you to be there for support or to share the experience. I highly suggest you go somewhere else. If my daughter was 17 they would have to allow you. We thought this would be a cool memory but not allowed share it for no good reason. Not asking to bring in 20 friends. I specifically took off work because she wanted me to be there for her. When asked the poliercer nicely if her dad could go with her they flatly said no. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I was a little bummed leaving this place. I was excited to go here but it was just ok.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had an appointment and it got canceled and they did offer a discount when I rebooked.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They don't have a restroom which is ridiculous. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The girls up front were rude and gave little direction.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My piercer was very blunt so that caught me a little off guard. Although she did come around to being more pleasant mid appointment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I guess I just expected a more happy fun experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But I do like my piercing just not the vibe. read more

Got my second lobe piercings here and had a good experience! Made an appointment (highly recommend doing so as I did and still ended up waiting a bit as there were a lot of appointments that day) and the piercing process was quick! The piercer was super friendly and informative. The studs started at $60+. The inside decoration was super cute as well! read more

I'm from California and booked an appointment at the Capitol Hill Branch. It was my first time at Studs and I wanted to get one of my piercings fixed because Claire's had placed two of my piercings too close together. Jade did a wonderful job! She listened to my concerns and helped me get a new piercing in one ear. She also helped me carefully re-open two of my previous piercings. All my piercings are healing perfectly and I felt like I was in very good hands. The girl manning the earring bar was also excellent and helped me get all the extra earrings I wanted to bring back home with me. I wish there was a branch closer to me in the Bay Area, but until then, the LA branches will just have to do. read more

I've made 2 appointments with studs at the West Village location and one in seattle. West Village cancelled with less than 8 hours notice Seattle cancelled after I had left a brunch to make my appointment and 20 minutes prior to my appointment. They opened at 11 and texted me at 12:10. I went into the Seattle location after they cancelled my appointment and they were not accommodating at all! They had multiple employees there and I was the only one wanting to get a piercing! They told me I could come back 6 hours later. Don't go here. You'll waste a bunch of time like me read more

I made an appointment to have my ears re-pierced after not wearing earrings for about 3 months after an accident. Annika, my piercer, checked my lobes and said they probably only only needed to be reopened, not re-pierced, which turned out to be the case. It was painless and didn't take long. She only charged me the price of a jewelry change, plus the cost of the two cute purple opal earrings. Studs is a bright and cheerful space and seems to me the long missing option between the piercing guns at malls and the more intimidating (at least to someone like me) dark tattoo and piercing places. read more

I'd like to start with the positives: The jewelry selection is ridiculously cute and my piercer was super sweet. Now onto the negatives: - impossible to get a hold of anyone in the studio - impossible to get an appointment in a logical timeframe - their flat back earrings are horrible quality. Impossible to take out even with the instructions they provide My ear is currently bleeding and I wanted to talk to my piercer about what to do in this situation. No reply from anyone since it's a corporate place. I really did not want to use studs in the first place as I knew the fact that they are a chain would mean it was a nightmare, and I was correct. Avoid studs, unless you're buying NON flat back jewelry. Update: business manager replied saying I need to email, which I already did. They don't reply to their messages at all. read more

I got my ears pierced here last summer. Safe to say they did a good job, my lobes healed perfectly. -1 star tho because [[HIGHLIGHT]]my piercer said I have "really weird shaped ears"... new insecurity unlocked.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You win some you lose some I guess read more

Highly professional, kind, incredibly clean, calming, and very personalized service! I have seen Meredith and Jade for piercing services. Both take the time to talk with you, ensure you are comfortable, treat you with care, and are very skilled in their art. I will never get an ear piercing anywhere else! read more

Update: I went back for a check in and was informed by a different piercer that the way my conch was pierced I will not be able to have a hoop in it. When Jade originally pierced me, I specifically said I wanted the conch to get a hoop and she said she was piercing in a way that would allow me to do it. 10 months of healing to learn that it was done incorrectly. I should've trusted my gut and gone to a real piercing salon with properly trained piercers. read more
