The Science & The Soul
The Science
From their piercing studios to the earrings they sell, Studs is all about safety first. Their piercing jewelry is made of 14k or 18k solid gold, or high-quality, implant-grade titanium. Their fashion earrings (for healed holes) are made out of gold and sterling silver, and they’re durable for everyday use. Plus, Studs spends time educating their consumers about earring care throughout your earring journey.
In their studios, Studs follows the strictest health & safety standards to ensure that each piercing is done perfectly. Studs pierces any area of the ear using an autoclave-sterilized single-use needle rather than a piercing gun. Overall, single-use needles create a more hygienic end-to-end experience because they can be fully sterilized and cause less tissue trauma therefore creating shorter healing time. For safety and healing reasons, Studs only allows two piercings per visit. Studs does not pierce with traditional butterfly backings; instead it pierces with flat-back, titanium labret posts.
The Soul
Studs celebrates individuality and self-expression. The brand wants consumers to embrace beautifying and accessorizing their ears, or as Studs calls it, the “earscape”. Plus, Studs ensures that all of their earrings are accessible and affordable. Most pairs are available at around $20 for a single or $50 for a double, and they offer free shipping over $50. They also offer bundles for even more discounts. Studs is constantly releasing new fun designs to help you express yourself and find your style.
