In 2023, this trusted shop moved from its former location on Langston Boulevard to bigger digs in Dominion Hills, where it now has more jewelry cases and twice as many piercing rooms for customers seeking to bling up their ears, noses, bellies and other body parts. “Everything’s more streamlined and moves faster,” says head piercer and shop manager Blake Williams. What hasn’t changed is the staff’s commitment to safety, cleanliness and, most of all, consent. “It’s always that person’s body, that person’s choice,” he says. “We get to make it shiny. We’re making sure everyone has a good experience and they’re happy when they leave.” –Wendy Kantor
