Studio 28 Piercings, Fine Jewelry, and Custom Tattoos

a month ago

I came in recently to get my two nose studs down-sized. I called in to see if there were any walk-in times and I got really lucky and was able to find a good time in the day for both me and Studio 28. It was really easy for them to help me do my down-sizing. Overall, the two employees that were helping me out were very nice and welcoming. It was my first time stopping in! I heard about Studio 28 recently from a tattoo artist and this was a great recommendation. Chris was the employee that did the down-sizing for me. I 100% would come back for when I want to get a new piercing hopefully in the near future :) Clean place, cool vibes, great employees.

I had a faux industrial (helix and forward helix that I'll hopefully connect with a chain) done by Joan, with supervision from Logan. She did a great job! She answered all my questions, checked my 6 month old conch, and already knew about a weird anatomy quirk that I only researched myself about a year ago lol. The piercings were quick and only hurt for a moment. This studio has titanium jewelry if you're on a budget, but they specialize in much more expensive gold jewelry and don't keep a lot of titanium in stock. They also don't have an anodizer if you want it in a different color, hence the mixed metals. It may be worth it to call ahead so they have time to order the pieces you want if you're interested in titanium. Also be warned, the studio is up 3 flights of stairs and I didn't see an elevator. It's a pretty small space... cons of being in NYC! Otherwise the experience was great. Everyone was personable, and TJ was kind and professional over the phone even though I had to reschedule several times due to the huge snowstorm.

There's a reason why Studio 28 is one of the top tattoo and piercings shops in NYC. I came for my very first tattoo and two third-hold piercings in my ears. The tattoo experience was phenomenal. Jenny, the artist, listened to my concerns, helped me choose which size I wanted, talked me through the process and made me extremely comfortable. I absolutely love the way it came out. As for the piercings, the team upstairs walked me through all the different options for jewelry -- their selections are GORGEOUS and they even took them out of the case and held them up to my ear so I could make a decision. The piercing process itself was so quick and easy and they were very thorough in describing the after care. I loved my experience here and will absolutely be back!

I went with my friend to get our nose pierced plus lip pierced and it was a great experience. The studio was spotless and loved all decor. Everyone was very welcoming and patient with us even though we took about 15-20minutes deciding which rings to purchase. Payment process was swift. Our piercer was very patient, quick, and kind. Overall 10/10 experience. Will recommend to others✅

Very pricey for the jewelry, but the piercing service itself was only $40. George’s service was amazing, with suitable chatter and a clean, efficient, and quick piercing experience. You can bring a guest in the piercing room to comfort you, and there are comfortable seats in the waiting area for anyone else. Front desk staff were very helpful, and restrooms were available.
