Body Piercing As Self-Expression
As humans, our diverse interests, unique aesthetics, and cultural values are often reflected in how we present ourselves to the world. For centuries, many cultures have used make-up, tattoos, and body piercings as vehicles of meaning, status, and identification. Studies indicate that the concept of body decoration has existed even longer than the habit of wearing clothing.

A message from Bethany to her friends and clients 🩵

APP Conference Recap
We went to the APP (Association of Professional Piercers) Conference this year! Here is how it went:
The Importance of Downsizing
It is crucial for a fresh piercing to have extra room on the jewelry to accommodate swelling - this is in order to avoid uncomfortable pinching or the jewelry actually becoming embedded inside the piercing channel. While we allow extra space on the jewelry for your safety, once your swelling has gone down your jewelry may then be too big.
✨ OUR CARLISLE BLVD LOCATION WILL BE CLOSED FROM JUNE 24 - JULY 4✨
Our Carlisle Blvd location will be closed while it gets a new roof and a new asphalt parking lot, but our original location on Central Avenue will remain OPEN during this time. During this closure, several members of our team will attend the annual conference of the Association of Professional Piercers (APP)!
