Company mission
To become the most trusted national authority in Earscaping®.
96% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Conscious consumption and the influence of social media advertising have ushered in a new era of Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) brands targeting mindful millennials and Gen-Z customers. Among these brands, Studs has seized the opportunity, focusing on the ear-piercing market.
Studs does not merely provide ear-piercing services; it is crafting an entire experience for its customers. The company's leadership firmly believes that customers are increasingly using earrings to celebrate self-expression and mark significant milestones in their lives. Studs aims to build a brand that resonates with these precious moments, offering a unique approach to jewelry.
To achieve its vision, the company has embarked on a national expansion of its physical retail locations, now sporting 23 locations across the US with plans for more to open very soon. And with famous customers like Emma Chamberlain, Dixie D'Amelio and Rosalía, the company is truly on its way to cementing its place as a leader in the world of piercing.
