Booked my appointment today as I'm in town for Sxsw! I've been wanting to re-pierce my ear lobes for awhile now. They were very kind and accommodating when i made the appointment. I will add more to this once it's completed! read more

The absolute best place!! I have gotten a few piercings here and they always turn out so cute!

Everyone at Studs was so nice and professional. The piercing jewelry is high quality. This was my 1st time to go to Studs and went to get two additional piercing. I highly recommend Studs. I will definitely be going back to Studs for any additional piercing. Thank you Studs Team for the amazing experience! I am extremely happy with my new piercings!! Elizabeth R read more

Claire's Boutique with an attitude. Don't waste your money here. Rude employees. No hospitality. No thank you! Next!! read more

I was really excited as soon as I found out Studs was coming to Austin and ended up disappointed in every aspect. I went in with questions on different piercing options and got told one thing by the front employees and got completely opposite guidance by the piercer. I was caught off guard and the piercer was pressuring me to make a quick decision (both employees kept very obviously pushing me to get the most expensive jewelry). I got 2 piercings on the same ear and they ended up incredibly infected even with me following healing protocol perfectly. I have 8 other piercings from tattoo shops and recommend them so much more. One piercing was so infected that I woke up with skin grown over it and eventually had to push it out. I wouldn't recommend studs to anyone - professionalism, pricing, safety and quality are all lacking. read more

I rarely review experiences, but I was so impressed with Studs and specifically Miranda, my piercer! She was so patient, helpful and confident. She's very good at what she does! I love my piercings, and I felt safe and supported (seems silly, but it's actually a pretty scary thing to get your ears pierced). Studs has it down... the experience was basically perfect. It's worth he price for sure. If I get more piercings I will definitely be coming back to Studs + Miranda! read more

I got my third holes pierced about 3 months ago, and they have both been irritated and swollen ever since. I was finally able to squeeze the earrings out (very painful). After removing, I realized how infected they are..not sure if it's keloids forming or what but they're puffy and bleeding. I've never had this issue with my other piercings and I took even better care of these (saline spray, etc.). Was so excited but am disappointed with my experience. read more

Best piercing experience ever! I recently got two flat helix piercings from Kels, and a friend got a conch done by a super nice guy whose name I can't remember - but we really liked them both. The piercers are super friendly, relaxed, and professional. STUDS has created a very welcoming atmosphere which is somewhat hard to find in body mod. And of course, the jewelry selection is fantastic! I enjoy coming to STUDS for mix and match earrings, getting styling advice from the people in the store, and I'll be back for a couple more piercings in the future. read more

The most sanitary & educational piercing place I've ever been to. Everyone was super sweet and helpful with picking out jewelry! Definitely will come back soon. :) read more

STUDS SoCo - Double and triple lobe piercings - Piercing Near Me - Austin, Texas

I went to Studs for the very first time a few weeks ago to get snakebite piercings in my upper ear/cartilage. Booking the appointment online was really easy, and I appreciated being able to see all of the earring options online before going in. I was a little late for my appointment but they were still able to make it work! The only surprise was that the website doesn't indicate (at least I didn't see it) that not all of their studs are options for when you're piercing. The piercing options are all way more expensive, which brought the total cost of my appointment to about ~$250 (not including tip) which I was definitely not expecting. That being said, I've never had piercings hurt so little immediately after or heal so quickly. I'm coming around to seeing it as an upfront investment that pays off! The fact that they are all flat backs also makes them so much more comfortable than a regular piercing you'd get anywhere else. I also appreciated how Chris helped me pick out different options. Overall, despite the sticker shock I'm very pleased! read more

Such a cute and professional piercing shop! The aesthetic is SO SoCo Austin like wow. Everyone was lovely but my piercer, Chris, was by far my favorite. They were super chill and relaxing to talk to prior to piercing, and answered any questions I had. I got both my conch and helix done. They timed the piercing for when I exhaled which was super helpful, since it is metal going through your ear. They made sure that the placement was conducive to healing (for wearing masks and such) and even gave me a piece of candy after! Lol. The whole vibe of Studs is top notch, just like their staff. OH, and their jewelry is Q U A L I T Y, also just like their staff. 11/10 would recommend, I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Scheduled an appointment a month in advance. Checked out the piercing jewelry so I knew what I wanted ahead of time. The studs I chose were a bit pricey but I knew that before hand. I was actually surprised when they showed me in store other options that were cheaper but I still went with my first choice. It's a bit crazy in there. Two employees were busy with other clients, just wished they acknowledged me when I entered. Tara was my piercer and she was amazing. She explained everything to me and was very sweet. I love my new lobe piercings! read more

STUDS SoCo - Piercing Near Me - Austin, Texas

I absolutely love this place! The environment was absolutely pristine and unbelievably clean, and the staff were quite literally the nicest people I have ever met. The only downside to the whole ordeal is the price of the earrings and the piercings, however that is to be expected with the quality of the service and the earrings themselves. I've had my ears pierced 3 times prior to this, and STUDS has by far been my best experience yet. read more

This STUDS location is literally perfection! From the staff to the clean environment, my besties and I experience was everything we could have asked for. Alex did a fabulous job answering all of our questions and checking in on how we were feeling throughout the whole process! Both girls who checked us out were so sweet too! During our checkout process there a was a jerk being super pessimistic to one of the staff members. She was trying not to get flustered and answered all his stupid questions. I think it's great how other staff members kept making their fellow employee was okay and if she needed any assistance. I could tell that this location truly works as a team! Great experience from the moment we walked in to when we left! read more

This was my first time going to studs and my first cartilage piercing. I made an appointment online and brought my friend for support. My piercer, Laos was literally amazing and really helped me feel calm the entire time. The piercing was super fast and I love it!! Plus free candy :) Thanks yall! read more

STUDS SoCo - Helix cartilage piercing - Piercing Near Me - Austin, Texas

I was skeptical to come here because I've always gone to tattoo studios for piercings but I'm glad I gave them a chance! I got my third and fourth lobe pierced and my forward helix jewelry changed. The piercing jewelry ranges from $30 and is either titanium or gold so it won't tarnish or irritate your ears. I've had two different piercers and they've been amazing with helping pick jewelry and piercing. The price is a bit higher than a lot of studios I've been to before but you're paying for the experience. I'll never go anywhere else! read more

This was my 1st time going to studs after following them on tik tok and IG. My 1st appointment was canceled and I rebooked for the same day at a later time. For the cancellation they gave my $15 off my appointment. Which I was happy about. The over all experience was good I just wish they were more helpful with picking out jewelry. Watching tik toks and seeing them on IG I thought the experience was going to be a little more personal which it was not. The piercer her self was so sweet and amazing she made it worth the experience. I will go back but this time I know what to expect. read more

Cute and friendly staff! They were helpful. I was looking for septum jewelry and they were able to point me in the right direction. The clickers they sell are good quality and work well with septum piercings if you want some simple and easy to change out. I'd recommend them. read more

This was my first time going to studs and I was a bit disappointed with my overall experience. I agree with another reviewer that maybe I watched to much tik tok and expected more of a styling service but that was just not the case. I showed up and they were very busy so I booked an appointment for the next day and made sure to arrive about 10 minutes early as they suggested. My appointment was at 12:20 and and I didnt get taken back until about 12:50. However they were nice enough to give me a discount and a free saline for my wait. BUT waiting there was painfully awkward and I feel like making me come back the next day to be there for an hour was annoying. Especially since they took what I assume were "walk ins" since they had their sign out welcoming them... There were 3-4 staff members and only one piercer which doesn't make sense to accept walkins. I ended up being there over an hour for a 20 minute appointment. The highlights; they had cute options for earrings (however expensive). They gave out a cute bag with stickers and a coupon for your next piercing/ purchase. Everything was VERY CLEAN which is honestly the most important part. My piercer was very sweet and made sure I like my placement. For my rook, I did bleed which I think surprised both of us, but she handled it really well cleaned up and did it again. I spent almost $250 with the discount they gave me for waiting. I got 2 piercings. One with a gold earing and one with a titanium bar (they were out of gold bars) and one of their sets that came with 5 pieces. UPDATE:*** While the staff was really nice and offered me a discount, after reading my review the company reached out to me to make it better. With that kind of customer service I think I will think of studs again when getting pierced. read more

STUDS SoCo - Rook and middle lobe - Piercing Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been wanting to get a conch piercing for over a year now. I was in Austin and walked by Studs and had the best experience. They got me in within 30 minutes, the price for the 14k earring was so reasonable, much less than all the places in Dallas. Plus, they did a cute snake earring instead of a basic post, which all the other places wouldn't do. I was very impressed by the service, price and quality!! read more

Had Amanda as my piercer and she was absolutely amazing!! From my consultation of figuring out what to get and the actual piercing she made everything seamless! I am beyond happy with my piercing and The whole staff there is killer !! 10/10 would recommend read more

Had an amazing experience here today! My 4 year old has been asking about getting her ears pierced but had been a bit nervous, so I brought her with me to watch me get my ears pierced to show her it's not scary. (Note: Studs doesn't pierce little kids' ears!) the entire staff was SO sweet and friendly to my girl and super helpful and professional with me. Laos did my piercing and she was phenomenal. Helped me choose my jewelry and piercing location, she was so cool talking my daughter through what was happening and including her in the process. We had a great time and I know my little babe will be so confident whenever she's ready to get her ears pierced! Thanks for the great afternoon Studs! read more

I was looking for a new pair of earrings and they had such a great collection to choose from! The associate helped me take out the earring to try on using a pair of scissors since they had a no direct try-on policy. I was able to try out different sizes and got the one I liked best! Super friendly staff and would highly recommend! read more

Great experience! Everything about this place is great, location is convenient the ambiance is great and everyone is so very nice. I had a Helix piercing and it was great you have a consultation first to see what you're trying to get and you can choose your jewelry then you go into a room and you get your piercing done afterwards you get a care card and a date for you to be able to switch your earring when the piercing is healed. Tara and Chris helped me out today and they were exceptional Tara was incredibly sweet, I will definitely come back for more. read more

The staff is super patient, kind, and helpful here. Although studs is expensive, the quality and look of their product is worth it. I got pierced here and while again it is certainly more expensive than Claire's, it was a great experience and I felt that the piercers were experienced and qualified. read more

Great service! Everyone was very patient to ensure I felt comfortable and was happy with the location of the piercing.

Good quality earrings that don't hurt my ear. All different price ranges too. Parking sucks so get there early when they open

Take a chance guys! Always choose quality :) all of the staff are nice and accommodating!

I've now had two piercing sessions done here by Tara, and both times I walked in not having any idea what I wanted to leave with. She helped me figure out what would work best for my ear shape and both times I walked out totally pumped up with the results. She's a master! This place is pristine and also adorable. No doubt I will only come here for future piercings. read more

STUDS SoCo - Piercing Near Me - Austin, Texas

Pretty disappointed in the customer service here. Went to get a piercing with my friend for her birthday, and the folks at the counter were far from friendly. We weren't allowed to go back with each other and the prices of the earrings are deceptive as they aren't sold in pairs--which we were not told in advance. When I asked for a breakdown in pricing, I was met with attitude and annoyance. Wouldn't recommend this spot, unfortunately, as the workers made this celebration/experience far from enjoyable. read more

Great experience. Booked appt day before and was seen within minutes of arrival. Quick in and out and Amanda did a great job with my snakebite piercing on my ear. Will be back for more! read more

A few weeks ago a friend of mine came in for a piercing and the experience was disappointing to say the least. I got a piercing and the lady who pierced me was not in a good mood and made it very clear she was bothered by me?? I was upset because Studs preaches about a "unique" and "special" experience and this was FAR from that. I was pierced my Miranda. My friend was pierced by another lady (I cannot remember her name) and her experience was more upsetting than mine. The piercer put her first earring in fine and the second was crooked, resulting in the piercer having to rip the piercing out of her ear. She had her service price covered but had to pay for her jewelry. She wanted two piercings and left with one piercing and a bloody hole. I personally have represented this brand on social media and was extremely disappointed with my experience in person. Both my friend and I were so excited to get pierced but walked out more than upset. Do better Studs. read more

Loved the selection of earrings, everything was really delicate. Cant wait to come back!

I had my first piercing at STUDS and it was an awesome experience! Much better than a mall piercing! Staff was friendly and I loved their wide selection of earrings to choose from! I highly recommend! read more
