    Out front
    Jessica L.

    This spot was super cool, teeny in the front (but that's all they really need), quick, and a cool little spot! I wanted to get a specific earring I saw on an Instagram ad, but I was hesitant to order it- I didn't know what size or anything that I would need. When I happened to be in Dallas, I saw they had a store (our phones really & truly do listen to everything we do), so I popped in! It's downtown. I'm happy I went, although I would recommend the sales people to ask or suggest for a piercer to put the purchase in ($15 extra). I actually went with intentions to have a piercer put it in, but I kinda forgot and felt a little rushed to be done (my own issue- nothing the sales clerks did). Maybe saying, "Did you want a piercer to put this in for you?" or something simple would be good. If I were in town longer, I would go back and have them do it (and maybe even buy something else!).

    This is the only place where my piercing has been healing and not gotten infected. Also, they are super nice which isn't something I'm used to in North Dallas.

    I had such a great experience at STUDS in Dallas! From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, kind,and I and helpful. Ashley, my piercer, was very friendly and knowledgeable. She walked me through the process of determining the best placement for my earrings while paying close attention to my preferences and desired look. The process was quick and simple, and I can't wait to come back for more. The convenient parking across the road was an added bonus. Thank you, STUDS, for my stunning new piercings! kind,

    Overall my experience at Studs West Village location was okay. My piercer was awesome though (Cherelle) and made the actual piercing experience painless and seamless. I come from a customer service background and not getting greeted upon walking in was a major turn off. The girl working the front desk was with a customer but a "hi welcome, I'll be right with you" would've been cool. I was visiting from Chicago so I was pretty excited to visit as my sister booked my appointment as a birthday gift. About 15 minutes go by and a second girl walked up to the front and went straight to the laptop and didn't say anything or acknowledge us until she was done on the laptop. She ended up "checking us in" and putting down which earrings I wanted to go for. I pointed and said to her I wanted to start off with two of the smallest titanium earrings. She marked everything down and we waited a bit more until Cherelle came and called for us. Everything was fantastic once we were in Cherelle's hands. She explained everything step by step, remained sanitized and clean the entire time and left us with cleaning tips to go home with. When it was time to check out the front desk girl gave us our total and it was a lot more than what we were expecting to pay. She broke everything down and mentioned we were charged for two 14k earrings (I asked for titanium at check in). She then proceeded to say "oh well the piercer put the 14k ones on you". Okay...but she was only going off what was documented on my card so it wasn't her fault. This was obviously a mistake on their end...she mentioned giving her a minute so she could talk to Cherelle. She can back and said that I had to go back so Cherelle could switch out my earrings for the titanium ones. I was really disappointed because my ears were freshly pierced and now I had to subject myself to having them switched out because of an error on their end??? Customer service 101 Studs WV, you should've honored me keeping the 14k earrings and taken the loss since the mistake was on your end and just charged me for the two titaniums I initially asked for. This was not Cherelle's fault and was super turned off that she tried to blame it on her...this was the front desk girls mistake that inputted the information wrong. Overall, not the best customer service experience with front desk girls and will just continue my piercing journey in Chicago's newest location.

    This place was so cool, decorated in a 90's neon vibe. The people were friendly and the place was super clean. The piercer I had was very sweet and offered me a stress ball to squeeze during the process, reminded me to breath and take deep breaths. Very professional, will be back! Oh did I mention you can pick your jewelry, there's a lot of options ranging from $30-100.00, I picked two CZ 14k gold studs that were $80 each and then getting two piercings was $50 so I paid around $223 altogether. (They do add a tx state tax, didn't notice until I saw my receipt and that was $10 so just factor that in if you have a budget).

    What a great experience! Everyone was very friendly. Quick and easy check in. My piercer, Ashley, was great!!! Answered all my questions, educated me about the piercing and healing process and gave me great recommendations to help me determine my piercing placement. I will definitely be back in 8 weeks for 2 more piercings with Ashley!

    My sister and I came in at 2pm for a walk in and she said we would have to wait till 6pm for an appointment which was not very nice since we drove 25 minutes to get there. When we did get there at 6 we had to wait another 20 minutes in the lobby for our appointment which was cray crazy. The only thing that made up for the wait was the staff being very friendly and the appointment being quick and looking good. We had Ella as our piercing lady and she was awesome and did a great job.

    Ella was so kind but also meticulous in not only helping me find the perfect placement, and explaining things, but also in cleanliness/hygiene.

A friend recommended this spot, and once I browsed their website and saw all the gorgeous jewelry options, we decided to go check it out in person. Merari was incredibly patient as I looked at (and then re-looked at) several styles. The piercing fee is typically $50, but since I mentioned it was a birthday gift to myself, they kindly waived it. Plus, I got 10% off as a first-time customer, WOOT! This gal loves a bargain, and let's be real, this is NOT a bargain kind of place (in the best way possible). I ended up choosing a dainty little diamond crawler-style piece that I absolutely love. Since they weren't busy, I only waited about 30 minutes for the ever-so-gentle Ivy to work her magic. The whole experience was smooth and super welcoming, I can totally see how these high-end piercing boutiques become addictive. Do I need a 4th one, maybe... My only wish? That more styles, especially the beautiful opals and zodiac pieces, came in white gold. Guess I'll just have to keep checking back...

    I've been coming here since I moved to Dallas in 2021 (I used to go to their NW Austin location…read morewhen I lived there) and I have ALWAYS had wonderful experiences here. Annie and Jade have been my go to piercers for years. Prior to getting any piercings, they require you to watch piercing healing and care videos so you know what you're getting into. I love Pineapple (the owner) and his commitment to being thorough and honest when it comes to healing. They are so patient and knowledgeable when it comes to jewlery selection, the piercing itself and healing. They are APP members here--that mixed with their calming demeanor really helps with calming nerves. I swear by this shop and their piercers -- also free parking in the lot and after care packages!

I walked in under the assumption I'd probably get a consultation and have to reschedule. What actually happened was this smooth straight to the point process you could only expect from well prepared professionals in their craft. From the jewelry selection process to the execution of the piercing even paying was the last thing on my mind (no pressure) I really got a chance to soak it all in. This is the place to get your piercing fix satisfied! $200

    When I walked into the tattoo parlor, it looked clean, professional, and well put together. Based…read moreon the appearance alone, I felt confident I would receive good service. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience at all. The artist who worked on me seemed inexperienced, and the process didn't match what I was told. What should have taken around 30 minutes was discussed as taking several hours, which already felt off. In the end, I was charged $200 for a cover-up that I'm extremely unhappy with--especially since it's on my face. To make matters worse, the artist didn't follow through on what was promised. He said he would work on two tattoos but only did one, and even then, it wasn't what I asked for. I specifically wanted a design resembling stitches, but instead I was left with a large black feather on my head that I deeply regret. The environment also felt unprofessional. The staff came across as dismissive and made me feel judged for the tattoo ideas I wanted, which added to an already negative experience. Overall, I left feeling disappointed, frustrated, and unhappy with both the service and the final result. I would not recommend this shop. Are there any tattoo shops in the area willing to help fix a bad face tattoo once it heals? I'm worried it might scar, and I'm trying to figure out my options. If anyone has experience with cover-ups or thinks removal would be a better route, please let me know. I'd really appreciate any advice or recommendations--this is something I'm stressing about and want to fix the right way. I'm not trying to bash the entire shop, because there seemed to be some talented artists there. However, I do want to warn others about my experience with one specific artist. The artist I worked with--whose name may be Ivan or Isaac--came across as confident, but in my opinion did not demonstrate the level of knowledge or experience I expected. For example, when I asked about certain techniques like blood shading, he didn't seem to understand what I was referring to. That raised concerns for me about his training and experience. Again, this does not reflect everyone at the shop, but based on my experience, I would personally not recommend working with that particular artist.
