STUDS Domain Northside

Excellent service! They helped me decide between the final two pieces to put in my ear. I ended up getting the last pink enamel heart in my mid helix!Small pinch but Angie did amazing!I had concerns going in and so many questions and she was patient and kind! I got my upper helix pierced 2 years ago and it left a keilod. And she walked me through why I could have gotten a keilod or bump. She also placed a dot on where I could possibly get it pierced lower if I was worried about another keilod forming!They do 3 months check ups! Which surprised me! The last time I got my ears pierced 2 years ago I got the upper helix and the the second lobe pierced and I didnt really get information. It wasnt until the person I was with started asking questions but all we got was the information from what we asked. Atomic tattoo is way more expensive! But Studs is affordable! If I get another Piercing it will be through studs! They gave me a 10% off discount because I had asked my mother for another Piercing for my birthday (which was 2 days ago July 11th) and the lady was kind about it! They have the saline as well to purchase and they were super quick despite the fact that it was busy for them and right on the other corner Olivia Rodrigo had her tour bus and tents so there was a long line! (Such a fan of both Olivia Rodrigo and Studs!) I loved the

Professional and thoughtful consultation before my helix piercing.We talked about my prior helix piercing (from a decade ago) and what I wanted to be different for my new one.Pretty jewelry, good vibes, felt totally comfortable. Will be back for sure. 🫶🏼

I had a great experience! Easy to use online appointment schedule. Was greeted with a big smile and eagerness to help. The prices and recommendations where provided clearly and up front. Mia did an awesome job with my piercings plus making me laugh and relax while getting it done. Thank you to all the ladies that where working on Sunday 08/18 you ladies are awesome!

I have 13 piercings and went in for some new jewelry. They have so many options (which is a good thing, everyone can find something) and was a little bit intimidated. All of the staff was so helpful and had great suggestions on how to start my new earscape journey. They were able to steer me in a direction that not only fit my vibe but also helped with my budget. Very patient , helpful with all of your questions. I was so pleased with my experience I went in the next day to get my 14th piercing :). Loas and Tara are one of a kind . Tara was amazing and fast. Clean and organized environment. I will def be a returning costumer for my jewelry and future piercings !!

I had a wonderful experience at this Studs! I had never gotten a cartilage piercing so I was very nervous, but my piercer was so sweet and did an amazing job. It turned out super cute and I have had no problems with healing! I would absolutely recommend coming here.

This year alone I’ve gotten 5 piercings. I love this location and their team. The needle piercing by far is the quickest and less painful way to be pierced. I also love their selection of piercing jewelry. Would recommend! Just make an appointment, they fill up pretty quickly.

I got 3 piercings on 3/29/2024. Tara was my piercer and she was amazing, kind and made me feel calm through the whole process. I got my helix and 3rd lobe pierced. I was afraid of the pain that I would experience during and after but it has now been 1 week and so far no pain or discomfort at all. I definitely would go back to Studs. Even the front desk staff treated me with kindness and they were helpful with my questions.

I had the best experience here. I am a new mom and don’t get out much. I came in with my baby and was running a little late. All of the staff were so kind and patient, they even got me some water while I waited. Angie, my piercer, did an excellent job. She helped me pick out some cute jewelry. I got my lobes and cartilage/helix done. It was the most painless piercing experience I’ve ever had, and I have a total of 12 ear piercings. The next day, I had no pain in my new piercings. I thought I was finished with my ears but I think I might come in again in a few months to get another, it was just the best. They made my day :’)

Employees were extremely sweet and helpful!! Went in for a piercing that we couldn’t do because of my anatomy, piercer (Alex) was super helpful and helped me figure out something else to get. Piercing was super quick and painless!! Amazing experience, thank you so much!!🤍🤍

Shop is super clean and organized. Very welcoming and friendly and interested in your ideas for piercings. Alex was very thorough measured multiple times and checked if I liked placement and what the place for the future of the piercings were. All around great experience. Highly recommend

My sister and I just got pierced by Amanda and it was great! Things were hectic when we first got in since they had just come back from lunch, but everyone stayed calm and got us sorted out right away since we had an appointment. Amanda was very sweet and knowledgeable, and made the piercing process super enjoyable!

I streamed my ears to 1 1/4 inches when I was younger and recently had reconstructive surgery (mom was right). I’ve been super excited to get my ears repierced but also oddly emotional?? I have a lot of feelings tied up with my earlobes, apparently. Anyway, I was nervous going into my appointment at studs on Monday 5/20. The two people working up front were super sweet and helpful. Laos was my piercer and he was FANTASTIC. I’ve met a lot of piercers in my life and Laos is the ONLY ONE I look forward to seeing again. I got four piercings and they were all super quick and painless. Laos was incredibly knowledgeable, organized, and just generally a great dude.

I’ve gotten pierced at STUDS a couple of times now! First piercing was Tara and then next time I went in I had Matt. Both Tara and Matt were great experiences! Clean and professional and both put my nerves aside and made the process so quick and easy. Also everyone that works there in the front is so fun and nice. They have great recommendations and are fun to talk to while waiting for your appointment. Also the earrings are so cute! Will be back!

My first appointment was super quick and easy! The person who did my piercing, Amanda, helped me figure out the best placement for my jewelry and provided lots of useful tips! Will definitely be coming back :)

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE WORKERS!!!I had gotten my ears pierced around December. fist time coming in the store absolutely loved the store, the works are super nice very fast service. Tara did a very awesome job with my piercing. She has a very good hand when it comes to piercing. since is was my first time in and first time getting a new piercing with a needle, they help me feel prepared and what would fit me better!Definitely worth the time and money!

Complete process was phenomenal. Angie was the best - very kind and thorough. I didn’t even realize they were 20 minutes behind for my appointment until they discounted for the inconvenience. Super professional office and I will definitely be visiting again!

I went a year ago to get my cartilage pierced and it never healed because it was pierced at an angle instead of straight through. Three days after getting pierced there, I got pierced at Platinum Ink for a forward helix that healed with no issue because it was done CORRECTLY. I am never going back and now I have to wait for this to close before getting it repierced.

I would not go here for piercing. I booked this appt a week in advance, drove over an hour to get there and they cancelled the appt as I was walking into the store. That is very unprofessional. The lady used the excuse of being sick. The employee could have called me when they opened if the piercer was actually sick, but she waited 5 mins until the appt time to let me know it was cancelled. I will not be back here and I advise you go somewhere else for ear piercing.

Got my helix done and lobes repierced. The team offered great advice, had lots of experience, and it was a very clean experience. Will get more piercings done from them in the future.

We had a great experience at STUDS at Domain! Every person there was so helpful and efficient. We had appointments for 3 with 2 walk-ins and they were able to fit us all in and even shifted our appointments so we could all be together. Matt and Zeke were knowledgeable and easy to work with, also the girl at the front desk was so accommodating but we can’t remember her name! Everything was very clean and professional. Thank you all so much for such a fantastic and memorable experience! If we could give more stars we would.

I made an appointment for two piercings (lobe & helix) and loved the streamlined process, easy check-in, clean environment and experienced piercer who put me right at ease. I was in and out in 20 mins and highly recommend for anyone 13+ to consider for piercings.

Zeke, Tara and Nicole made my day. I’m talking personal connection, super conscientious care and memorable laughter. 10/10 recommend- their product knowledge was incredible, Tara was SUCH an impeccable piercer and so friendly. Super fun and playful design— I’ll be back and referring all my friends. Thank you!

Great experience! I had Matt for my piercer and it was an overwhelmingly positive experience. I was greeted immediately and walked through the next steps with ease. They were able to make a recommendation of what piercings to get based on my ear anatomy. I will definitely be back!

I recently got my second lobe piercing done at STUDS. I was really nervous because I wasn’t sure how it was going to feel/whether it was going to hurt, but the piercer was super sweet. I believe her name was Amanda. She made small talk with me and really made me comfortable before starting. She also made sure that I was okay during the process. The girls who greeted me were also super kind

Great service! Got my 2nd piercings done here and it was so quick and easy. They gave cute stickers and aftercare instructions too!

Great experience at STUDS Domain! Booking the appointment was a piece of cake and the process of selecting the jewelry and placement was fantastic. My piercer, Tara, was kind, communicative, and very helpful in helping me choose the placement. The studio was bright and welcoming, and of course, very sterile. I will definitely be back!

Tara was my piercer and she did an incredible job. She made sure I was comfortable and made it an easy experience. Highly recommend going to her!

I had a great experience with Tara! Service was quick and efficient. She was even able to get jewelry back into a piercing that had sort of half-closed so it turned out to be a jewelry change rather than a piercing.I’m super happy with the way everything looks. They didn’t have the jewelry I had been eyeballing when I looked online, so I was a bit bummed, but that’s okay! I still got some cute little decorations for my ears. Can’t wait to go back for some more holes in the future!

Had a good first experience at studs. My piercer, Tara, had my two flats helix piercings done in 5 minutes!Another good experience with Mikayla this time. She helped me adjust the placement of my first lobe piercings and Im much happier with them now.

Great experience start to finish! Walked in mid-week, mid-afternoon without an appointment. Staff was friendly and helpful. I was able to get an appointment for about 40 minutes later. This gave me time to look at and select piercings, ask questions, review and sign the waiver, and take a quick walk to Sur La Table to look at the pretty things.Appointment started with a consultation with Tara to talk through my piercings (3rd lobe on one side and 2nd lobe on the other). Tara has a great vibe - comforting, confident, and knowledgeable. Booth was clean and organized and the chair was comfortable. Tara was precise when marking my piercings. This was my first time getting pierced with a needle and Tara did a great job narrating each step.Long-ago I fainted with blood draws, but it never happened with piercings and its no longer an issue. As Tara finished my first piercing of the day she checked in with me and I realized that I had the odd skin-prickling sweat that signals that fainting is eminent. When I shared that with Tara, she set up a fan, gave me bottled water and a glucose tablet, and we took a break before piercing my other ear. When I felt better, we finished my second piercing. Tara did a great job helping me relax, was understanding and affirming, and made sure I was well recovered.Checkout was quick and easy. Will go again.

I got pierced by Tara yesterday and it was the best experience!!!! Loved that they have hypoallergenic Titanium earrings! Tara was very sweet and very informative! Will definitely be back for more piercings in the future! 😊

Had a wonderful experience at Studs in Austin Domain. Amanda listened to my request and placed my piercing on spot. She was quick and painless!! Would definitely recommend.

I got pierced by Alex over a week ago! He was amazing! Very kind, informative and made my experience smooth & enjoyable!!! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to get pierced !

Got all my piercings done here. Can’t wait to get the next set! It’s super fast and they were very helpful with all my questions.

Overall enjoyed my experience at Studs but I will admit it wasn’t quite what I expected from the website. The description of earscaping makes it sound like you’re getting an in depth consultation and design of a larger plan for your ear. It didn’t feel like that and the shop itself is incredibly small. Three people waiting feels very crowded. However, the team up front was very attentive and personable, and Tara did answer all my questions. She was friendly and did a great job quickly doing my piercings. I also agree that a wider variety of piercing jewelry choices would be nice. But, overall, I had a good experience and would go back.

I’m obsessed! Everyone is always welcoming. Great service & great jewelry

I went in today for a follow up on a repiercing that I had done 10 weeks ago at the South Congress location (now closed) and was very disappointed in the customer service. Because I’ve never had flat back earrings I didn’t understand how the posts worked (needing to downsize the post, how to remove them). The piercer that took my appointment seemed annoyed at my questions and to be honest made me feel really stupid for asking for clarification on the hardware and care (for a service/product I already paid for). It was so disappointing, especially since I’d had such a good experience at the SoCo location in December. I had been considering taking my daughter here for her first piercing, but not anymore.

This was an amazing experience! The staff was very kind and helpful and my piercer(I forgot her name) was even more amazing. She walked me through the process and shared all of the valuable information I needed and o care for my piercing. It was a very inviting space and I plan to be back for a second helix piercing.

Loved how my anti-tragus piercing turned out. My piercer made me feel so comfortable and confident about getting this piercing. Get pierced by studs!

Studs provides a fantastic piercing experience! I have had two piercings done here and it was such a smooth process. Also I absolutely love their flat back earrings! I will be a long time customer for sure.

Ive been waiting for this location to open since I saw the space at the domain. Finally setup my appointment and Mia was my person! She was so chill, and did such a great job. I went in wanting to get my Tragus pierced, but because of its shape it would have caused the piercing to tilt with time. She was honest about it instead of just taking my money. First time getting my ear done. I’ll definitely be coming back in 4 months for the other ear. Thank you soooo much!

Had a fantastic experience. Came here to pierce new holes for my lobes because my initial piercing was poorly done years ago. The piercing specialist was very helpful in making sure the new placement was perfect. Its been 6 months and theyve healed wonderfully. I recommend using the piercing spray to help soothe them that first month. Ill be back to do my second piercing soon!

I had a great experience with Alex! They were super kind and talked me through the whole thing so I felt at ease. The process was convenient and easy! My only qualm was the studio is small so my friends couldn’t come back with me to see the piercing, but that is such a small thing.

My best friend and I stopped in on a whim. We were welcomed in and were able to get our helix’s pierced in the same room! Matt answered all of our questions, made sure our piercings were beautifully placed, and kept our nerves down! I highly recommend them!

I got two piercings and it was very efficient! Very quick and professional piercer. Calm atmosphere.

I had a fantastic experience at Studs. I scheduled an appt on Black Friday, so naturally the store was jam packed, I didnt think that through. I get really bad anxiety in small, crowded places so the employee (a sweet girl with 2 nose piercings and tooth gems, sadly I didnt catch her name!) let me wait outside until it was time for my appointment. She also rang me up outside so I had to spend as little time inside as possible. My piercer was super friendly and lightning fast! She also took the time to discuss another piercing I was interested in getting in the future. Everyone was very accommodating and Im so happy with my experience, I will get pierced here again!

Amanda was great and made the experience very comfortable for me. She explained everything well along with at home instructions for my new piercings.

Alex was a great piercer, and made me feel comfortable and gave me lots of information towards my questions. However, i feel as though the front of the house lacked the costumer service of hospitality that one would expect. I was made to feel like my questions were an annoyance as though I was interrupting their personal conversations while on the clock. I would suggest to look elsewhere when for a quality piercing experience.

Ive been here multiple times and I love love love Tara -- most recently I got my conch pierced (about a month ago) and its just perfect. Id love to see a wider variety of piercing jewelry at STUDS but my experience with the service overall has been fantastic.

Had a great experience getting pierced at Studs 🤩. I got a lobe and a helix piercing and was a little nervous about it because it was my first time getting pierced with a needle… but Tara, my piercer, made me feel super comfortable and safe throughout the whole process. She let me know in advance what I was going to be feeling and led me through some deep breathing exercises which helped me feel calm and ready for when she pierced me!I am very satisfied with the result and will for sure come back once these 2 are healed up to get some more done!!

I had a wonderful experience here! They have lot of gorgeous options for piercings and beautiful earring choices. The piercings were almost painless for me :)

Great customer service, clean and knowledgeable about all things ear piercings!!! Oh and good quality jewelry! One stop shop! Definitely come here if you are looking to get an ear piercing!

First time getting my ears pierced since I was a baby, had no clue what I walking into! But the Studs employees where very nice and friendly. There check in process took longer than the actual piercing! I was in and out, Matt was the one that pierced my ears. He was very knowledgeable and communicated well with me as a first timer. I will definitely be coming back for another piercing in the future.

I never write negative reviews, or reviews at all, but my experience at Studs merits one. I had my hair tied back, since I was getting a lobe piercing and I knew I didn’t want to get hair caught in it. However, this was not the case. I thought my piercer would be professional enough to still check that no hair would be in the new piercing. I was wrong. A while after the piercing I was still experiencing moderate pain and went to check things out. Upon a closer look, I see a strand of my hair inside the piercing. I pull it out (which causes me severe pain) and it is covered in blood and crust. Even after resolving that, sometimes when I lay a certain way my ear still hurts. I’m writing around two months after the piercing because it is still an issue that affects me. It isn’t that serious, but for lobe piercings that I paid over $100 for, it’s ridiculous that a piercer would lack the common sense to check to make sure no hair was getting in the piercing. My piercer was nice, but I think she was rushed. Overall just not a great experience, especially for the price point. Get your ears pierced somewhere else!!!!!

Tara was my darling piercer...if thats a word. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed before she pierced. True professional! The whole experience was absolutely smooth and the gal that helped me with studs was also so fun and helpful! Im recommending Studs!!

It was my first time visiting Studs Domain, and it’s safe to say that I absolutely adore this place and will be going back ASAP! Upon entering, I was greeted by several very sweet and welcoming employees. The establishment itself is super quaint, and extremely clean. I loved the music they had playing, too. Words cannot describe how inviting and alluring this place is. Tara was my piercer, and she was so kind and sweet. She really made my experience personal, fun, and literally almost painless. If you’re looking for a place that you can trust and have fun at, and without being judged then I 1000% recommend coming here! Bonus points for having a loyalty program!

Great experience. Got a rook piercing and Alex was brilliant. Good conversation before, during and after the piercing itself which helped keep me distracted/calm for the process. The placement of the piercing perfect - just how I wanted it. Would recommend this place for sure. Esp. specialist/cartridge piercing. The only downside I would say is the cost of jewellery - I would absolutely come more often/purchase jewellery (or even for replacement) if items were not so costly. Otherwise this was a 10/10 experience.

Had a rude piercer that rushed me through the process. Did not feel comfortable or like had an opinion/conversation about location of my piercing. For $300+ I wish I went somewhere else.

My experience at STUDS was great! When I walked in the employee at the front was very kind and welcoming even though she was helping other clients; she quickly showed me where to check in and then helped me pick out some piercing jewelry. Mia was my piercer and I would definitely ask for her again. Not only was she fast & efficient & knowledgeable, she was also very pleasant and personable. Im sure Mia would make anyone feel comfortable even if they were a bit nervous about getting pierced. Mia did an excellent job and I will be back!

I had an appointment to get two piercings yesterday at Studs! The employees that greeted me were super kind and helpful! Laos was my piercer and explained everything along the way, as well as made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Studs and hope to visit again soon!

SO SO HAPPY!!! I went to studs today to get a piercing on my upper lobe and had such a great experience.the customer service was fantastic and everyone was so helpful and genuine.I felt so comfortable asking questions and while getting my piercing.Tara was my piercer and she was so kind, and she truly made me feel calm.the place is clean and beautiful and they have really great trendy pieces.I really am so happy with my piercing and the experience.I will definitely be coming back!

Tara was great! Along with the front desk managers and assistants. My friends and I got matching upper lobe piercings during this visit. I had a complicated piercing issue unrelated to the new appointment I was coming in for. They were super friendly and understanding, and were able to do what they could given I was outside of the warranty period from my last piercing. Overall, I’m really happy with how understanding and friendly the manager was. He also reassured me that if any thing comes up in the future just pop into the store and they can help us out. Thank you so much!

Ive been here a couple times for piercings and theyve been so amazing every single time. I plan on returning tomorrow for more piercings and jewelry change. Its a cute studio, always clean and their jewelry is so nice and my ears dont react badly to it. And they take their time with the piercings as well, its always painless for me when I get piercings here. Definitely recommend.

I got 4 piercings at this location, loved my experience.

Place was very clean!!! Pierced was very informative! I love both my piercings i got!!! Can’t wait to get just a few more! Little star on top is the piercing i got. ❤️

I absolutely loved my piercing experience at Studs Domain! The ladies checking me in were awesome and welcoming. Mia, my piercing technician, was so fabulous at putting me at ease with her warmth, knowledge and skill. I cant wait to return again and again!

Walked in and got an appointment for an hour later. I came back and picked out jewelry and was immediately brought back. I was pierced and out of there within 5 min and I am very happy with the results! It was quick and painless, everyone was friendly, and it’s a very clean environment. I will be going back in the future if I decide to get another piercing.

Tara was literally the best piercer Ive ever had. She was so amazing and so quick. I live in Dallas and I would literally come back to Austin to get a piercing done by her again.

Tara is such an exceptional piercer and is so talented in her craft. She makes the best recommendations for both piercings and jewelry. She is so professional and sweet, and is the only person trust with my ears.

Tara was great, Im awful with needles but thought this would be different. It was not... Not her fault though! Tara made sure I didnt actually pass out, gave me water, and laid me down so that Id be okay.Piercing looks great and Im so happy with her work 😊

I had a great experience! I got two piercings from Mark and he was great, talked me through the entire thing and made sure I was okay with placement giving me a few options. The front staff were also lovely, very clean space and they have lots of jewelry to pick from!

I got the cutest studs! I got two piercings and they had a nice selection of piercing earrings to pick from. I have very sensitive ears so knowing there was a 14k gold option was fantastic. I have been wearing my other earrings I got at studs for about six months and I’ve not had any issues with sensitivity whatsoever. Finally cute earrings that don’t make me rash or break out!

Nice, clean and friendly staff. Make sure you make an appointment before coming in and if you have a minor you will need a photo ID that is submitted online before along with your own photo ID in order to be able to get piercing done. We found this out the hard way when we got there. To the staffs credit they were very patient with us while we located a copy of the actual ID.

Got pierced by Tara this weekend and had a great experience! She was able to open an old hole so what I thought was going to be a piercing was actually just a jewelry change.The range of earrings for piercing was a little limited (I got the smallest diamond stud and would have preferred a smaller one or a hoop; the hoop was only available for a specific piercing) but all in all, a great experience with Tara and I would definitely go back!

I got my 3rd ear piercings here and Mia did a great job placing the piercings beautifully in the space that was available on the lobe without piercing the cartilage, just as I requested her. They turned out even better than I expected. She was so genuinely nice and made me feel super comfortable. She answered all my questions patiently. It’s a great place, quick and efficient. Highly recommend.

A great experience! Clean and professional and felt very comfortable my awesome piercer Maliha was super nice and knew what jewelry would be best for what I wanted. She was also extremely fast! Will definitely be going back in 8 weeks :)

I got my lobes pierced by Tara about a month ago at the Domain location. Tara was super nice and informative. I had my ears pierced years ago and just had a couple questions about the piercing gun method versus getting pierced with a needle. She took the time to answer all my questions and then the piercing part itself was a breeze. She was extremely quick and I had no pain at all. The store itself was smaller than expected but well organized and had a nice aesthetic. All the staff I interacted with were friendly and great as well. It’s a little expensive but I think it’s worth it to get a quality piercing. Highly recommend!

I loved the experience I felt so welcomed and I loved the whole team I will definitely come in again to get my next off piercings

They squeezed me in even thought I was 10 min late, which I really appreciated. I had gotten a piercing over 6 months ago which hasn’t healed completely bc the earring was all wrong for the cartilage piercing I got. The jewelry change was super easy, minimal pain, and the piercer (Tara) was super sweet and efficient. I will definitely be coming back for more! The rest of the staff were also kind and welcoming, thanks everyone for making this a great first experience :)

The staff was friendly and the studio was clean! Tara was great in explaining the process and putting me at ease. I will go to her for any future ear piercings.I got 2nd lobe piercings a month and a half ago. I have had zero healing issues!

The staff is very knowledgeable and make informed decisions based on the unique features of your ears. Their piercing placement and symmetry between ears has been very impressive. It feels very safe and clean.

I had the most lovely time getting new holes put in my ears! Big thanks to Matt for being kind, entertaining, soothing and informative. He made the whole experience transcendent.

Had a great experience at Studs on Saturday. My piercer, Tara, was incredible. She was quick, efficient, and the piercing was totally painless because of those things! Not to mention, she was super kind and great to speak with! Highly recommend and already excited to go back.

Great experience taking my daughter in to get her ears re-pierced. Highly recommend! Matt was awesome. We’ll be back!

Tara was my piercer and she was super sweet and efficient! My conch looks amazing and the service from each person in the shop was super charismatic and helpful.

Got my 3rd holes pierced by Tara here and had a great experience. The staff checking me in was really helpful and friendly and had good tips on placement. Tara was an absolute pro with the piercing - really quick and found the perfect spot on my lobes. Couldn’t be happier!

I visited the Domain location one week ago and got my third hole lobe pierced. I purchased a $130 earring and it is already discolored from gold to silver and the jewels are gray and no longer white. I have been unsuccessful in reaching anyone to rectify the matter. I will gladly replace or update this review with a positive one should I hear back from the store with a solution or replacement. I bought a piece of jewelry they claimed to be solid gold - but if that were the case it would not have changed colors, especially not after one week.

The staff is amazing! I love the atmosphere and Tara went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and aware of what she was doing. I highly recommend Studs at the Domain because it’s important to feel at ease when getting pierced

I have gotten several piercings from the Domain location and they are always so wonderful, nice and calming when it comes to me getting pierced. Very knowledgeable girls! Great atmosphere!

My piercer was fantastic and thoroughly enjoy my experience with her. I was disappointed to see less options for jewelry than I saw online, but was able to find something I liked. The waiting area is incredibly small and it did feel like I was bumping into people and attempting to stay out of the way while I waited, including being joined by a family with a giant stroller at one point and a family with a dog at another.

If you want the experience they they show on instagram I would recommend going to another location. My friend and I got pierced here a few weeks ago and the experience was meh. We would ask for help and ideas for earscaping from the two people up front and they would just say “yes” and resume their conversation. After that we just decided to consult ourselves because we didn’t feel like trying to interrupt them again. The only time they stopped talking long enough to pay attention to us was when they were checking us in and out. I will say that our piercer Matt was amazing! He was so quick and made the piercing experience enjoyable. Would definitely go back to get pierced by him but I wouldn’t go in hoping to get an ear consultation.

The workers are always super friendly, informative, and professional!! I had my helix pierced when I was in Korea, where they completely messed up my piercing — put in a longer, thinner bar than normal and gave me wrong information on aftercare. My helix kept getting infected, so I finally came to STUDS and they informed me on proper aftercare for my helix and changed my piercing as well — it hasn’t gotten infected at all and looks really good. I’ll be coming back here for a piercing soon! Thank y’all for being super awesome :)

Recently had my 2nd appointment with Mia, first in April and again in December. This time she did two piercings. Her placement is great, technique fantastic, and her knowledge of the process very helpful. Ill go back to her again and again. It was exciting to also talk through future piercing spots. This Studs location is easy to get to, parking is close-by, and the appointment process online is quick.

I loved this place! Ive gotten several piercings, and this experience by far, tops them all. Tara was super sweet and didnt even seemed to mind when I changed my mind about the jewelry I wanted last minute. The process was fairly quick and relatively painless. Will for sure be back!

Very pleasant experience getting pierced.My piercer was Mia and she was very knowable and good at explaining the piercing process. She made me feel very comfortable and helped me with piercing placement after we realized the initial piercings I wanted wouldnt work.As long as you go with basic jewelry, pricing is pretty reasonable.I opted for the two piercings in order to save a bit. In total, I paid $50 for the piercings & another $60 for two pieces of jewelry. My total was $110 plus tax. I also tipped my piercer $30, but standard is 20% of total cost (piercing cost & jewelry.)I love that they only use flat backs for the majority of their jewelry. They are way more comfortable in my opinion. Metal quality seems to be good as well.They definitely care a lot about proper sanitization and making sure your piercing heals properly. Highly recommend if you want to get pierced.

My friend and I did a walk in for helix piercings and it was pretty quick! Alex was very clear on our aftercare instructions as well for healing properly. We’ll be back for sure!

Took my niece to get her second holes done for her birthday. The Three people working were incredibly unprofessional and passive aggressive. They seemed annoyed to have to interact with us. It is definitely not the friendly environment that is advertised. Unsure why they seemed to annoyed to be at work. Won’t be back, would never recommend.

It was a very easy, professional and fun experience at STUDS! Each staff member was helpful and friendly when explaining the after care or answering my questions. I highly recommend coming here for ear piercings!

Really enjoyed my experience here! I typically go to tattoo and piercing places to get pierced, but I felt like the expertise here was top level. I got my helix and fourth lobe hole pierced by Tara- she was amazing, fast, kind and her piercings were clean. Would highly recommend her!

STAY AWAY!!! My 18 year old went there today for an appointment. She was feeling unsure when she was looking at the earrings. They told her if she didnt get a piercing she would have to pay a cancellation fee (which should have been her first sign to leave). They led her to believe her piercing would be $115, then charged her $220 (for a normal piercing in each ear). As if that wasnt bad enough, they didnt even tell her they were using flat back studs that leave a larger hole. This place is not to be trusted, theyre in the business of hustling teens.

Such a welcoming staff and environment! It was super easy to schedule an appointment. I went there to switch out my cartilage piercing, and my piercer was super friendly. The earring was pricier than I would normally buy, but I know it’s good quality.

Amazing experience! Easy to book and wonderful staff. Also got both my ears pierced by @daithduchess and she was so gentle and kind and it still hurt obviously but way less than I thought it would! Will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend.

They are so incredibly professional here. Taras passion for making sure my experience was 5-star was clear from the moment I met her. This place is absolutely wonderful and worth the little extra money. I will definitely be going again!

Tara was incredible! She helped me choose two new piercings and was so quick when piercing! The rest of the staff took time to help me do a whole earscape and find the perfect look for my lobes! 10/10 experience. :)

Super cute store… Matt was amazing! Everything was super fast and easy! Definitely will come back again if I decide to get another! Also, so many cute jewelry options. Super happy with how it came out!

Tara did such a great job, I was super nervous about getting my helix pierced and she calmed me down and it was practically painless! The jewelry is beautiful and well made so I know it will last a long time. I would 10/10 recommend Tara!!

I had the best experience from beginning to end at the Austin Domain location. The piercer and 2 people at the front were all very nice and helpful. The place looked and felt very clean and professional.I seriously cant wait to go back and I will be buying sell my jewelry from here because they have such adorable, quality options!!!

I got a second piercing in my lobes at Studs yesterday. All of the staff were helpful, welcoming, and friendly. Matt did an amazing job! My ears didnt get red or swollen at all, and its like Ive had these piercings forever.

My mother-in-law and I have been talking about getting pierced for quite some time. We decided today was finally the day and the amazing humans at Studs Domain took GREAT care of us! Tara pierced both our ears and was so sweet. 10/10 would recommend!

I had a great experience at Studs. I got two piercings, and both have been healing good. I’ve had bad experiences with piercings places in the past, so I’m really pleased with my experience at Studs!!

I got my ears pierced. They were super friendly and I love all the cute earrings that they have available

Was so fast and easy! I also love that they map out your ear to exactly what you want!

Great experience at Studs with Tara. Very informative and professional. She did a great job with my second ear piercing (i love it so much) and also with my daughter who came with me and nearly passed out in the room! Will definitely be back minus the kid!

Tara was AMAZING! I’ve been burned a few times by different piercers (ahem…platinum) who didn’t use flat backs so NONE of my piercings healed. She only charged me for one piercing and repierced my other hole and only charged for a jewelry change. Definitely will be going back!

Great experience! Everyone at the shop was so friendly and my piercer, Mia, was great and did a fantastic job! They have a lovely selection of earrings for a wide range of budgets. Online appointments are easy to make too!

HUGE shoutout to Tara at studs in Austin (Domain Northside). She pierced me today and was an absolute angel! Bless her 💕 best piercing experience I’ve ever had and I’ve been pierced many times. First it was just seamless piercing, like high key she is amazing. Felt so cared for and was just overall really wonderful 💜

Studs is great! I took my mom in for an early mothers day gift and we loved everyone at the Studs location at the Domain. The store is tiny, but they made it work and they were all so efficient. Absolutely loved our piercer, Tara. We cant wait to come back for more piercings and goregous earrings!

Such great service. Had made an appointment earlier in the week, got two new lobe piercings and the piercer was able to open my pre-existing lobes so I walked out with 3 new studs! Healing really well. Very sterile, professional and fast! Will be going back.

Where was this place when I was a kid! The store was so cute, all the ladies were so nice, and my piercings turned out perfect! The only negative thing I have to say is the space is really small, it was really busy, and hot. So even if you had appointment you had to wait out in the heat. The space is also way to small if you have a stroller or wheelchair and other people are waiting in there. Not sure if all locations are like this but this could be a little bigger for how busy they are.

BEST PIERCING EXPERIENCE EVER!First off, the store (at the Domain) is so new, so aesthetic, and so clean! Secondly, the staff are so friendly and good at what they do, and they answered all of my questions. And thirdly, I got my thirds and I could not be happier! If I ever decide to get another piercing I will definitely go to Studs!

They used the wrong jewelry, so I ended up with the wrong color and shape and it doesnt match my existing piercings. Otherwise the piercing itself was a great experience.

Ive come to studs several times with my sister who had a reaction to getting her ears pierced from somewhere else. the employees here are beyond kind and have taken such great care of her! ive also come in a few times to purchase earrings for myself and everyone has always been so nice and welcoming! i will absolutely be coming here for any and all piercings for the rest of my life :)

Great little spot - Mia is super friendly, does an excellent job. She was easy to talk to, went through everything she was going to do, and gave me very clear care instructions afterwards. Would definitely recommend!

I lost my rook earring, so I needed a replacement, and was hoping for a 16g 6mm hoop that had a charm. The only metals available were gold/titanium (not silver or white gold), I had to get an 18g because there was no 16g, and there were none with a charm! I couldnt even buy a charm separately! Given that this is literally an earring store, Im really disappointed with the selection.

Love this place! The congress location is closer to me but after the experiences I’ve received from coming here I will continue to visit this location. Tara did my most recent piercing and would 100% recommended and will be coming back!

The staff was very helpful at discussing with me the process of how to make an appointment and choose your piercing jewelry. They took their time and were very friendly. Even though I only bought two earrings that day I look forward to going back for services.

I had a great piercing experience at STUDS! Everyone in the shop was super friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The piercer made me feel really comfortable throughout the whole process and the piercing barely hurt at all. I would definitely recommend the STUDS Domain Northside.

I came in on a bad day to get my tragus repiereced and was met with very wonderful, attentive, and kind staff members. They were very helpful and patience as I wad a little nervous about getting my piercings swapped out. Clean, friendly, and definitely turned my day around!

The experience was fast and the piercer was great! The only reason I gave it a 4 star is because the $100 earring stud I purchased literally broke the next day. I will be calling when they reopen this week to get a new one (hopefully for free).

Great service, clean area and positive people. Enjoyed getting my tragus pierced. They have lots of jewelry options, but only a select few to get pierced. Cute green envelope at the end with stickers was super cute :)

I went to Studs for the first time recently. While there, I got one new piercing as well as several new earrings for existing piercings. The staff was kind and the piercing was seamless and painless!

I got two piercings on the same day on one ear and had a GREAT experience with Mia at the Studs Domain! Would highly recommend. Im already planning my next piercings.

Hands down the rudest business and employees I’ve ever encountered! Extremely condescending and acted annoyed that we were there and wanted to pay for a service. If this were my business I would clean house on the employees and find some that actually have respect and know something about customer service and how to interact with people. I was shocked at how hateful these ladies were today.

Very clean and great experience overall. The piercer Tara was very knowledgeable and professional. Definitely recommend and will be back.

Scheduling an appointment is a breeze and the location is easy to find. Mia did an amazing job with my helix piercing! Will definitely be back for more piercings soon :)

Got pierced there about a couple days ago everything was going fine but my ear started pounding on day three and was extremely red,when I went to look at my ear it seems like the piercing doesn’t have a long enough backing for it.

Studs is fantastic! I very much enjoyed my experience with the professionals from the door to the piercing experience to the help with aftercare!My advice would be to schedule your piercing in advance. Yes, its an extra step to get an appointment but so very much worth it!

Such a great experience! My piercer walked me through every step so I knew what to expect. Coming back soon to get a second set of piercings!

Been here twice its great! Staff are so helpful with deciding what jewelry looks good where or suggestions for your piercing placement. The jewelry is good quality. Just wish the store was bigger!

I got my lobes pierced here and it was amazing!! the girl that pierced them was very sweet and made my time here amazing. 10/10 recommendation

Highly recommend that you make an appointment before arriving.Not the best for walk ins.

This was my 1st time at a Studs location and I’ll definitely return. My piercer Alex was a rockstar great personality actually ALL the staff that day where just really cool.

Let me start by saying it’s ran and owned by women. The whole crew is a vibe, down to earth and silly. Jewelry selection is cute there’s a ton of options. Just waiting for the day when they can do “all things face.” I will definitely return and play “pick and number” again. You ladies are amazing!!!!!

Cute earrings but i bought a flat back earring for my cartilage, was told it was non-refundable, & received it bent out of the package. i wore it for literally 2 weeks before it fell out & got lost. will never be buying earrings here again.

Amazing experience and super quick & easy when booking an appointment ! Lots of styles of earring to choose from ! I love love love that they also have flat back options

Went with my daughter today to get earrings. I have been here with my daughter three other times and went back in the piercing area all of those times. This time when I was following my daughter, two employees jumped in front of me and blocked my way and said, you cant go back there. Imagine my surprise when I was literally blocked from going somewhere I had gone three other times. Why on earth would you not use kind words instead of blocking a paying customer? I was paying for my daughters piercing! I and my money will never set foot in these doors again.

I loved that I could get hypo-allergic earrings (14k gold or titanium studs) AND piercing services at a reasonable price. Competitive designs, and knowledgeable piercing artists!

Great experience! Super friendly staff, who helped entertain my kiddos while I waited to get pierced! Super sweet and Mia was quick, efficient and amazing! Definitely would recommend making an appointment!

Mia was great! New lobe piercings go well with my originals!

A flawless piercing experience!I walking in the door on a whim and was expertly guided through the options I was interested in. Loved the jewelry and every staff member was a gem 💎Leese is a piercing pro & my conch didn’t hurt one bit and was over in a hot sec.100% going back for more!

Tara is the BEST! Quick and painless. Okay, not completely painless, but Taras conversation and personality sure made it feel that way. I will definitely be back!

Clean environment and the staff was so nice! Love my new piercings. My whole experience was amazing and will definitely be going back!

I had such a great experience at studs!! Tara was incredibly patient and kind. She was fast and it was virtually painless! I can’t wait to come back for more!

Such a cute spot, so many jewelry options. Very organized and great customer service!

I loved my Tara she did a awesome job, I felt nothing at all. Will return for sure

Good experience but the lady charge me two piercings and i did a piercing in my lobe and a jewelry swap. So I didn’t save money with “ the student discount “At the end. :/

This is the 4 th time I have pierced and Mia did such an amazing job at my piercing. She has always been so great at what she does. Will go again

Such sweet/kind people! Super fast process and put your comfort first! Best piercing place I’ve been to.

Mia was my piercer, and i’ve also had Stephanie which were both fantastic. Have gotten a conch piercing, front helix, and flat helix all done at this location. Won’t go to any other place!

Mia was amazing! She was super informative and sweet! The whole process was super quick and easy. Definitely will be going back.

I had a great experience here with Matt! He was so kind and talked me through the process and helped me pick out what to get. The staff at the front was also super sweet and helpful.

The rudest employees. They literally sell a bunch of different types of earrings, I dont know how they can get mad... but they did. Go to the South Congress location, the vibes are much better and inviting!

Always had a great time and studs! The staff is friendly and very helpful. I am a regular customer.

Was the best experience ever! My piercer walked me through everything and had answers for everything! I loved it so much here 100% would recommend and will be coming back. Thank you guys so much!❤️

Had a great experience today at Studs, walked in and the staff was super friendly! First time customer and I will definitely be coming to visit again, love the large selection and the quality of the earrings

All the staff were super helpful and sweet! Definitely recommend coming here to get piercings or just for the cute jewelry!!

I absolutely LOVE the piercings that I got at STUDS (a conch and flat helix) and the piercing process was quick, comfortable and easy.

Such a cute store with amazing staff and an amazing selection of earrings

My piercer was amazing! Hurt so much less than I anticipated. I got the Tragus and rook and I can’t wait to be back for moreeee

They scan IDs into their system without consent. The staff at this location is just petty and passive aggressive.

Alex was Ahhhmazing!! Highly recommend!

Lien made me feel comfortable and walked me through the process of getting the piercing and explained how to take care of the piercing to maintain it from getting infected and what solution to use during the healing process.

Great place to go get earrings! Love their sales and employees! Earrings have never irritated my ears either!

Great experience, got my 3rd hole pierced and everyone was very friendly, clean cool space! Can’t wait to go back!

Thanks to Matt for my first ever piercings. He was great!!

I wish their website indicated more obviously that they only pierce 13 and up. Thats what I was told by the front area person after I drove through traffic and in rain to take my girls to check the place out.

Came in to buy some studs and the staff was very friendly! I will be coming the next time I get my ears pierced :)

I had an amazing experience, and my piercer was amazing and made the whole experience very comfortable!

Super friendly staff and helpful in picking your jewelry. Staff is patient when answering questions about healing and the differences in jewelry styles.

Customer service was very helpful and knew what they were talking about. It’s hard to find earrings that fit my ears the way I want them. Great quality!

I had a positive experience! I forgot my piercers name but she’s blonde and she was dope. I’ll be back.

Excellent service! Beautiful jewelry selection! I will definitely be back!

Great experience! Tara was awesome!! Listened to exactly what I wanted, quick and efficient, super friendly.

Nice store and cute jewelry. Unfortunately you cant try anything on in store and after purchasing, no jewelry can be returned for sanitary reasons. Guess Im stuck with an ear hoop that doesnt fit...

I have never experienced such horrible customer service and uneducated piercers in my entire 20 years of getting body modification.

I was pierced by Mia on 3/1/23 I had a great experience and will be going back for sure!!

The experience was really good. The ear pierced was very nice

I love this place!! They are amazing!! Tara knows her stuff and was fast, knowledgeable, and suggested a peircing that I LOVE!! Thank You! 😊

Amazing experience, piercing took no time at all and look great

Perfection in every way. I feel bad that I couldn’t tip. She really was great. I barley felt a thing.

I had a great experience. The piercer was very knowledgeable and I didn’t feel a thing.

Great experience! Professional, friendly, and courteous. And the jewelry is super cute and affordable!

Best piercing experience I’ve ever had. Super friendly staff. Super clean atmosphere. 10/10

The staff was so informative and welcoming! Best piercing experience I’ve had!

Got my tragus pierced today by Tara and it was a fantastic experience. I can’t wait to go back.

Had a great experience. Service was good and piercer was knowledgeable and fast.

The staff was amazing and so nice and they answered all my questions that I had about getting my ear pierced.

Very positive experience. Everyone was very nice and the piercer was extremely gentle and patient.I loved it!

Mia was AWESOME…I’m so happy with my piercing…will definitely be back!
