Awesome assortment of jewelry on their site! Tons of fun options - like little cowboy boots and snakes, which are perfect for making a statement or for fun events. Their more basic jewelry is also great and high quality. I have a hoop that snaps together well and does the trick for everyday wear. As with any earrings, it's a bit tough to get a sense of sizing when you're a noobie. But tried a few different hoop sizes and I think I've got the hang of it now. My orders have come with stickers and a super cool neon earring pouch too, which was a really nice touch!

I've been wearing a pair of silver hoops from studs for over a year now and they still look great! i rarely change out my earrings, and these are great for everyday. i always have a great experience at their nyc location, all of their staff is just so so kind. they also sell mystery earrings in a gumball machine..... need i say more??

Trust STUDs! There is a detailed information on their training process and their earrings are high quality. There’s great incentives to come back like a cute piercing card. 

The Miami studio is so cool. I love that it felt so Miami and unique. So sleek and clean! The girls were the nicest. 
The layout of the earrings is really cute and I love that there’s a sticker bowl. Anywhere there’s a needle there should be a sticker bowl lol. 
I love my conch piercing and I’m ready to come back for some more! Their earscaping program has changed the game. 

I bought these specifically because my piercings tend to close because I don’t keep earrings in them regularly (uncomfortable to wear and sleep in so I take them out and forget to put back in). These FEEL great but unfortunately the studs kept falling out of my ears. I’ve officially lost every single stud. The post stays in my ear but the stud itself comes out. Not sure if it’s in my sleep, the shower, or just falling out. I’d be wary of that and maybe remove before bed. Just a bummer because that’s why I bought them! Maybe a smaller post would help. 

I love how the earrings feel. They’re so comfortable for daily wear and sleeping. 

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. 

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!

If you order earrings online, the price is usually by the single earring, so pay extra attention if you're looking to buy two of the same. Also, each earring comes in its own little plastic ziploc bag. It was great for making sure I had everything I ordered, but felt pretty wasteful. 

I visited the seattle store for two new piercings and had a great experience. Since then, I've ordered some earrings online and been extremely happy with them. For the past month, I've worn some tiny gold huggies without changing them out and my ears aren't green or irritated at all! They're high quality for the price, and overall great vibes. 

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!

The materials aren’t always of the highest quality. I know it’s more expensive to provide solid metals, like gold, but they’re better for piercing health and the people buying them. 

I can’t speak to their physical stores, but my online experience was pleasant overall. My biggest complaint is that a lot of their jewelry materials are not consider by many professional piercers to be “implant grade,” so a number of pieces aren’t really meant to be worn for long periods of time. They have cute, trendy designs and make it really easy to find jewelry that suits you. It’s also easy to find the right sizes for your piercing types. I purchased some cute hoops from them, I just had to make sure everything I was choosing was either titanium or SOLID gold, not plated. 

I got pierced at a Studs pop-up in Boston before they opened on Newbury Street. The whole experience was catered to me, the girl who pierced me was so friendly and informative, and all the jewelry is high quality and adorable!

I don’t wear earrings often, but all the ones I own are now from Studs. I love love love the mini Huggies the most! When ever you order online they also provide the cutest neon clean pouch and stickers!

I am incredibly disappointed with my first experience at Studs. I went in for my 3rd ear lobe piercing and selected 2 different pieces of jewelry - 1 with a flower and 1 a stud. After about 2 weeks the stud sunk into my earlobe so I immediately made an appt online. There was nothing available until the next day and calling their bot service was zero help. I walked in and luckily was able to see someone, but after looking at it she sent me to urgent care. The reason I am disappointed in my service is because there is hardly any information on what to do if the piercing gets infected, and I'm not sure why none of the piercers are trained or let alone have the tools to resolve sunken piercings. At urgent care the doctor even asked why they were able to use such a small stud for a new piercing. She also mentioned they see tons of patients coming in due to infections from piercings at Studs. The doctor recommended I throw the jewelry piece away and don't return to Studs. I understand that things like this happen, but it would be nice if Studs would provide some sort of refund or free service since their employees are not trained for this time of situation. This triple piercing has resulted in a much bigger bill than I anticipated and was really hoping for a better experience than what you get when you visit a department store to get pierced...
