Studs offers expert ear piercings (with needles, never piercing guns) at studios nationwide and a wide assortment of cute earrings that are safe for sensitive ears.
Studs earns strong reviews for clean, professional piercings and playful, mix‑and‑match jewelry that holds up to daily wear, but feedback flags inconsistent material quality and limited hypoallergenic options. Reviews of Studs also praise friendly staff, cute packaging, and easy appointments, while noting issues like tiny sizing, flat‑back discomfort for side sleepers, occasional breakage/tarnish, and wasteful packaging—useful caveats if you’re deciding where to get pierced or build an ear stack.

I love my flatbacks from studs. Most of my piercings are now flat back from Studs. I also love the color. It’s not always the easiest to get in but once it’s in, you don’t feel it at all. But also it’s easy for the front to fall out if you play with them.

Had the most fun experience at the Boston location! Was able to pick out new and change my studs in store. So helpful because it is impossible with long nails :)
I recently visited Studs, a jewelry company with both an online presence and physical piercing locations across the US. The Thingtesting team and I stopped by their Austin location during our offsite. I spontaneously decided to get two piercings – one in each ear. Piercings are more expensive than I remember! (That might be a me problem and not a Studs problem because it's been 20 years since my last piercings... I thought it was going to be 50 USD, but two piercings and jewelry netted out at $250+ 😅) Studs offers a millennial/gen z take on a piercing studio; a "trendy" assortment of jewelry designs such as cowboy boots (fitting for Austin), lightning bolts, stars, smileys, etc, you get it. Piercings are done by super cool and friendly people. In general, the experience seemed geared towards a younger audience than me; the neon pouches, the flower stickers, diamond peel and sticks. In conclusion, it's an interesting brand... The experience was professional and the jewelry still looks great after a few months of everyday wear. In fact, I liked their hoop earrings so much that I bought additional ones due to their reasonable price point. So - all in all: The branding doesn't speak to me, yet it still made me spontaneously get two piercings and reorder more. Good for them!
SUPER impressed with Studs. Really high quality products, beautiful packaging, super fast delivery, etc. The earrings I have ordered to date do come in a little baggy that says "Made in China" if that's a turn off for you, but overall I've had 0 issues with the brand. Product packaging is awesome and my order came with this neat little pouch, stickers, and a scratch off that gave me a discount code for $10 off my next order. Will definitely be ordering again!
Feedback
Definitely recommend closely looking at the sizing info on the earrings/studs specifically. Mine looked much larger in the pic versus real life. Still love my earrings though!! Just worth noting that the pictures are suuuuper up close so things look bigger.
