    Arrow (flat helix) & conch jewelry changes
    Grace K.

    First time here and I had such a great experience! I came really early for my appointment, but they took me in. 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. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and informative, which was especially helpful for an indecisive person like me. 10000/10 recommend and will definitely be coming back!

    Go get the piercing. You want it, and it's going to be an AMAZING experience! The staff are all so incredibly kind and welcoming. Such good vibes. 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. 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! :)

    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!

    Piercing appointment was really straight forward and quick! Tbh I don't think it even took 10 minutes. Super easy and satisfied with my piercings. :) Liv was really nice and explained the process of what she was doing. Got a Helix and upper lobe piercing!

    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

    Two fresh piercings, two jewelry changes, all earrings sold by Studs.

    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!

    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!!

    Had a great experience at STUDS! Got two lube piercing and Meredith put in alot of care in making sure the spacing was spot on. I plan on getting a third ear piercing in the future and will definitely return to this spot to get it Thanks Meredith for all the thoughtful advices on to maintain my piercings ( also well as my older ones)!!

    Doubles and cartilage done by Jade!

    I am beyond furious with the way Pierced Hearts handled my sister's navel piercing. From the start,…read morethis experience has been a disaster due to sheer negligence and a complete lack of accountability. My sister clearly explained to the piercer, Jaime, that she has a very flat belly button and specifically asked if the standard navel jewelry would be appropriate. He confidently said yes -- and we trusted his professional judgment. That trust was completely misplaced. As time passed, the jewelry began to embed itself into her skin, which should never have happened with the right jewelry in the first place. We returned to the shop, and Adam helped change it to a floating navel piercing -- the type she should have received from day one. He apologized and even took a photo of the damage because it was obvious something had gone terribly wrong. But the damage had already been done. Within a week, she developed a severe infection -- one that urgent care later confirmed was likely due to the original jewelry creating a gaping wound that never healed properly. Despite following aftercare instructions to the letter, she ended up on two antibiotics and hydrocodone just to manage the pain. Yet when we returned to the shop a third time to request a refund and share what she was going through, the staff were incredibly dismissive and refused to take any responsibility. They immediately shifted blame, accusing her of neglecting aftercare, even though we were meticulous. No effort was made to offer a solution, express genuine concern, or show even the slightest empathy. Just said "well, do you want to get it pierced again?!" ... no! Her belly button area now is completely bruised and mangled because of this place. We will never be coming back here again. To make matters worse, the owner was outright disrespectful and condescending over the phone. When we told him that medical professionals advised removing the piercing and draining the infection, her arrogant response was, "Why would they do that?!" as if she knew better than actual doctors. That tone alone spoke volumes about how little they care once they have your money. We asked for a refund because of all the trouble we've been through after the negligence of the first piercer, now having to pay for urgent care visits and medication. I chose this shop based on their glowing reviews, but let me be clear: if you're considering any body piercing here, don't. They might be decent with ear piercings or tattoos -- but when it comes to body piercings, especially anything more complex, they are careless, unprofessional, and utterly unwilling to take accountability when something goes wrong. My sister went in for a simple piercing and walked away in physical pain and emotional distress, and not once did they offer real help, only excuses. This shop failed her. Completely.

John is informative and great to work with, and has corrected previous piercings for me as well. I've had friends come here too and even my super sensitive pals piercings healed great. The jewelry on hand is amazing with cheaper options available. The $$$ jewelry is truly top notch, you're getting your money's worth. Plotting my next appointment!

When I asked what they did wrong out of curiosity, he berated me for not seeing that "it has to be perpendicular - see this? is this perpendicular? no. it's not perpendicular." You do not speak to customers like that! I wanted to cancel my appointment, but felt intimidated and went through with it. 2 stars because technically they provided the correct service. It is now a few days later, and both of my piercings that he did have been bleeding profusely - I made sure not to sleep on them and have not touched them. But I was making lunch and felt blood trickling down my neck from my piercings!

    I wanted a lion in either my knee or chest. I wasn't sure at all. Contacted a few shops and Ying…read moreresponded fast and communicated fast when I had follow up questions via yelp messaging. They offered a free consult which few shops do. I go there they had a screen of all different lion tattoo variations. A specific program for tattooing. Very cool. They printed out a few I liked and we three discussed pros and cons of size and placement. Ying, myself, and Connor the tattoo artist. I embarrassingly had to reschedule a couple sessions and arrived late for my first one (100% my fault) and they established with great kindness a boundary around time while giving me the full time of tattooing. They could have charged me the hour I was late (bad communication on my part) they did not. Now don't take that as permission to do what I did cause you might (and should) be charged, but I share this to show how friendly, understanding, and at the same time professional they are. Took two sessions a total of 7 1/2 hrs I think. Second session I was on time ;) Connor starts a stop watch when he begins and shows you. That's when the charging begins , and stops the stop watch immediately when he's done , and shows you as well. I thought that was very cool of him and all ships should do that. The place was sparkling clean, organized, and worth Connors time. He's an amazing artist.
