Studio 28 Tattoos and Body Piercing
“I cannot recommend Studio 28 enough. I had done multiple ear piercings while abroad and had been delaying getting them downsized/replaced for a couple of months (holidays, work, end of year, you name it). I had been looking at studios here in America. I asked coworkers about Studio 28 (easily accessible via public transportation for me) and they all had glowing recommendations. Life kept going on until mid January 2026 when I could no longer ignore an irritation flare up. Full of guilt for not coming in sooner and letting the irritation go on for so long, I was petrified but went to Studio 28 as a walk in.
Thankfully they were able to see me and listened to my story. Emily helped me pick out new piercings based on my style preferences. I appreciated they had a great selection based on budget. She was honest and assessed my ear and let me know if my choices made sense. Thank you, Emily, I get compliments for how beautiful my ears look. I never heard of Modern Mood and now the biggest fan.
I don't have enough words to say about George. He listened, sympathized, conferred with Emily and giving her a high five over the earrings selected. Not once did they chastise me or admonish me, but embraced me and disarmed my guilt. He took the time to remove and replace each of my piercings, changing the gauge and choosing the right post sizes. He explained everything he was doing and answered all my questions. I had no idea what to expect when I was walking in, but apparently with my luck, simply the best.
He gave me after instructions for after piercing care. His compassion and infectious smile had me leaving the studio with confidence that I did not ruin my piercing journey. I returned in March 2026 to get the still healing piercings downsized. He remembered all my piercing stories and the symbolism behind them. It made me feel valued and seen.
Thank you, Emily and George and Studio 28 for all your patience when I was a walk-in wreck. Healing takes time, and now I am scheduling a new piercing.
Not only does this Studio have an amazing selection, clean facilities, excellent piercing practices, but the piercers are top notch human beings.”
