    Ear flat piercing

    I knew I wanted this part of my ear pierced but wasn't exactly sure where or with what. Sam took a step back, looked at my other piercings and jewelry and suggested this straight bar. Something I wouldn't have taken a second look at and yet it's perfect and exactly what I didn't know I wanted. Sam has such an ease and comfortability about him that you forget he's about to put a hole in your skin. Top that off with being incredibly gentle, making the whole process a breeze. This is also the first piercing that I've had zero issues with. Not even a month old and I can already sleep on this side! Sam is the only person I will ever allow to shove a needle in my skin again!

    Love my ear design...

    Check this out! I'm in love with my new ear design. Sam has a nice selection of earrings and will create a unique and awesome design that fits your ear. I will be back to do my other ear as its now jealous. Definitely check Sam out for your personal ear design.

Cleanliness is a top priority and is taken very seriously (as it should be, but wow they are great). The whole shop is clean, so cute, and welcoming. So many details have been so well thought out. The aftercare instructions delivered on a custom made card, the beautiful selection of high quality jewelry, there aren't enough good things I can say about this place. Alejandra and Niche (maybe Eli too? Not sure, I had very specific needs and did a lot of calling) helped make sure I got the appointment properly scheduled and helped communicate an extreme needle phobia to the piercers Amber and (shop owner) Tidus who did a tandem piercing to get it over with quickly. I highly recommend this spot in general and for kids or adults with needle sensitivity/phobia. Huge thank you to my favorite piercing shop in LA/Santa Monica!!

    I'm sure they do good work and maybe this was a one off, but this was my experience…read more Popped in today 5/24/2026 around 3 pm to replace a lost 16 gauge segment/seemless/clicker ring for recently pierced upper/2nd lobe. The person assigned to assist me (I don't recall names/faces well) put the new segment/seemless/clicker ring in the lower lobe/1st instead of the upper/2nd lobe spot. I don't now how they missed the 2nd lobe because I had a light blue plastic place holder in the 2nd lobe so it wouldn't close up, we talked about it to confirm which one it was, and they saw me take the blue plastic out. Yes, I should have asked for a mirror once they finished to confirm they did it correctly but I trusted they knew what they were doing. I didn't notice, my friend pointed it out a bit after I left the shop, my friend moved it into the correct spot for me. Customer service was normal when I first went in but I didn't feel like driving back, finding parking, and blah blah blah over this. Think this was the breakdown, they didn't provide a receipt and I paid cash. Cost was $30 for the sterilized segment ring, $5 for the service, and I gave a $5 tip.

    I had gone to the Mejuri store at The Americana in December 2025 since they were doing free…read morepiercings. You had to buy their earrings which were $100+ per stud. That location has temporarily closed down their piercing studio and the only one with a piercing professional was this Venice location. They have a post-piercing follow-up service to change out the post to a shorter one 6-8 weeks after you had your piercing. Parking - OMG. Impossible as it's street parking. Give yourself 30-40 mins minimum to find a spot!! Store - it's located at the edge of the main Abbott Kinney rows of stores. Clean, bright, lots of employees helping customers. It's Valentine's Day so it's busy busy! Piercing Studio - Marley was FANTASTIC! I was late to my appt by an hour - traffic horrific & parking horrendous. However, Marley gave up her lunch break to accommodate me. She explained clearly what she was going to do at this follow-up. It was to replace the flat back to a shorter one since it's healing well. It took less than 3 mins & no pain or tugging. Marley told me The Americana location is hiring a new piercing professional & Piercing Studio will reopen ver soon! Overall, I would recommend any Mejuri location as customer service is top notch! Their jewelry is modern & has clean, crisp look to them. Not that affordable but they do have some pieces that even I can afford. LOL!

And while we were waiting for the exchange to go through he assisted with another new purchase. He had great insight, and wonderful energy. And on top of everything else he was super sweet to our little guy, Joey. Would recommend shopping with him anytime! Thanks Christian!

Everyone at studs is great. I came in asking if my small ears would look good with a stacked lobe and the woman at the front not only agreed it would look good, but also said she could fit me in if I came back in 40 minutes. After strolling through Abbot Kinney for 40 minutes, we were back in and ready to go. Gia took sanitation seriously and would change gloves throughout. Totally spontaneous to get it, but a great experience and pre-birthday treat!

We didn't have an appointment, but the front staff was incredibly accommodating and got all three of us set up for piercings without any hassle. Two of my friends got helix piercings, and I went for three, a hidden helix, high midi helix, and a conch. The entire team had such positive energy, and the vibe in the shop was honestly amazing. Everyone was so sweet and made the experience really fun. My piercer, Gia, was fantastic. She was extremely knowledgeable and very attentive to cleanliness and sterile technique. As a nurse, I pay close attention to hygiene, and I was really impressed. She even re cleaned my ears after I accidentally touched them before piercing. That level of care meant a lot to me. We all left smiling, feeling great, and with some new sparkle in our ears. I highly recommend this location and especially Gia if you are thinking about getting pierced!
