Owner + Lead
Specialty

Navel, surface bars, and dermal anchors — the placements that have to live on skin that moves all day.

Ruby Castellanos

Senior Piercer
Specialty

Bridge, septum, and philtrum. Facial work that has to sit symmetrical on a face that talks and laughs.

Nate Whitlow

Piercer
Specialty

Stretched lobes and gauge work. Slow, patient sizing that doesn't thin your tissue on the way up.

Piercer
Specialty

Walk-ins and first-timers. Explains every step before the clamp comes out and never rushes a nervous client.
