Piercer
This role is for an experienced piercer who shares our passion for creating exceptional client experiences.
About the position:
This is NOT a body piercing apprenticeship, but we can help an established piercer who shares our values to advance their knowledge and skillset.
Our piercers are APP members, and we comply all membership requirements.
You will need a body art license to work in New Mexico. This will require you to have current Bloodborne Pathogens, First Aid, and CPR certification, as well as licensure in another state/jurisdiction or proof of having training equivalent to our state’s requirements. If you do not work in a state with licensure, you will need tax returns for the past 2-3 years verifying your employment as a piercer. We will assist with the licensure process if needed.
Our studios are high volume, so you must enjoy working in a fast-paced environment.
Sterilization procedures: We currently reprocess instruments at both locations in a Statclave G4 (after cleaning an ultrasonic unit or Hydrim instrument washer). Most of our jewelry is bagged and pre-sterilized, and we have Statim2000 autoclaves to process anything sold from displays. We provide any tools/PPE you need to do your job well.
Business hours/work shifts: Full-time employees typically work 4x 10 hour shifts per week, and have 3 days off. We are open for 9 hours a day (7 on Sundays), and our team is scheduled to arrive 45 minutes early to prep for the day, and stays around 15 minutes after to clean and close up.
Other details: We encourage you to click around our website to get to know us and our policies! You can also email any questions to hello@evolutionpiercing.com.
Minimum Job Requirements:
No less than two years’ experience as a piercer.
Exceptional customer service skills and bedside manner.
Evidence of the training and/or experience necessary to obtain a body art license in New Mexico.
A portfolio and references.
Our 2024 compensation package includes:
Base wage plus commission (based on experience) and tips.
Health Insurance: We currently offer a group health plan through Presbyterian with three coverage options. For the first option, Evolution covers 75% of the premium, with the remaining 25% paid by the employee. For the second and third options, Evolution contributes the same dollar amount as for the first option, with the balance covered by the employee. Coverage is available for employees and their dependents (excluding spouses).
Dental Insurance: A dental plan is available through Delta Dental, with 50% of premiums paid by Evolution for enrolled employees.
Wellness Program: Reimbursement for a gym or health/wellbeing membership or app of your choice, up to $60 per month (this is in addition to the free gym memberships included in our health insurance plan).
Paid Time Off: Sick/personal PTO accrued at the rate of 1 hour for every 30 hours worked, with the same rate for vacation PTO in the first year.
Paid Holidays: Specific holidays as listed in our manual, with potential for additional unpaid time off by mutual agreement.
Professional Development: Payment for required training or memberships related to your position.
Education Reimbursement: Up to $750 per year for courses and/or travel to educational opportunities related to your role.
Employee Discount: Generous discounts on jewelry and services.
Retirement Savings: A SIMPLE plan with up to 3% match by Evolution after 1 year of employment.
