Once that time arrived, I decided to finally pay Studs a visit. Read on for a full review of the Studs' experience, including everything from my piercing photos to my favorite studs. My Studs Consultation With two studios in NYC plus one opening later this year in Austin , I booked my piercing consultation online for Studs' Nolita location. I was assured that the studio's piercing room and all of the tools are always thoroughly sterilized post and pre appointments.
Upon arrival, my temperature was taken at the door where there were free surgical masks available. Although there was only one other client present along with a limited number of employees all mask-clad , Studs' Nolita studio was spacious and offered ample room to socially distance.
Once I was all checked in, I got a glimpse of the dozens of jewels I'd obsessively browsed on the site — they looked just as dazzling IRL. When my piercer arrived, she asked if I had any questions nope and we discussed jewelry options along with placement; both agreeing on the tiny cubic zirconia stud a second helix aka upper cartilage piercing.

The piercing artist took my chosen earring and sterilized it for about 10 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. There was a little tray of brightly colored hair clips in case you forgot your own hair tie for the piercing.
There were little yellow stress balls available too, as well as a bottle of Studs-branded saline spray, on a shelf just above the perfectly packaged containers of swabs and Q-tips.
The piercing artist cleaned my ear lobe thoroughly and then, it was time. As I enjoyed my lollipop, the piercer held the intimidating needle up to my ear and told me to breathe in deeply. I did, and upon my exhale I felt a second of sharpness pulse through my skin.
