Meet a new concept that's the Glossier of piercing studios (and a far cry from Claire’s).
is no treat. In most cases the experience is a momentary pain tolerance test administered by a piercing gun-wielding mall employee or a needle-holding tattooed person who is categorically unimpressed with you. The latter scenario is what happened to Anna Harman early last year. “The piercing was great,” she said. “It felt totally safe and clean, but I was personally out of place at the tattoo parlor I went to—and the jewelry was terrible and expensive.
The variety of jewelry is impressive, and so are the price points, but the real draw of Studs is the environment that Harman and Bubbers have created. As someone who already has four holes in her ears , I was immediately drawn-in. Wide smiles and cheery hellos from the men and women behind the main counter were punctuated by the cheeky sayings on the wall like “Hey Stud” and “Hole New You.” “Water? Sparkling or Still? Or a CBD Recess?” said one heavily-pierced employee upon arrival.
The array of piercing jewelry on offer was hard to decide between, but luckily the saleswoman was helpful in assessing the piercings I already had and advising me on what would look best. I was handed a lookbook of different earscapes and piercing placements, which also helped guide me in the right direction. But really, I already knew what I wanted before I walked in.
The piercing artist took my chosen earring and sterilized it for about ten minutes in a medical-grade sterilization machine while I filled out my Studs profile and waiver on an iPad. Then I was called back to the piercing room which, like the rest of the Studs space, was clinically sterile, minimal, but well-appointed enough to distract from the needles and the buzz of the serious-looking cleaning contraption.
She placed the stud in quickly and we were done. I bled a little bit, but the piercer made me feel better when she laughed and told me that Gerber too was “a bleeder.” She spoke to me about how to care for my piercing and handed me a card with very simple instructions about rinsing twice a day with water and saline , not sleeping on the piercing, and not twisting or rotating the piercing until it’s fully healed. Studs sends an email follow-up with those exact instructions post-piercing.
