Swipe ➡️ to see why this piece is such a Santa Cruz favorite! The Zara by @bvla has three perfect ascending stacked rings, with one being an adorable beaded accent. We’ve always envisioned this piece going into a septum piercing, but it would also be perfect for most ear piercings. We’ll be at the studio all week for those last minute Christmas gifts and stocking stuffer gift cards! 🎄✨

This stunning new daith piercing done by Adam belongs to our lovely client Angela. She went with one of our @bvla ring favorites, the Faraway! We have this piece available in yellow, white, or rose gold with a variety of stone options, but this particular one has three GENUINE opals! SO MUCH SWOON. ✨✨✨

@shelby.richins and I signed up for a 12 week program through @gauntletendurance, and this morning was our initial PT test to see where we are at currently. It was awful. And I’m sure these next 3 months will also be awful, but fuck it. Here’s to being healthy! *downs smoothie* Thanks @sierraechodelta!

Healed nostril piercing by Adam with one of our delicate, little beaded swirls from @bvla! We only a have a handful of these pieces left, the one pictured above is in rose gold featuring a genuine tanzanite stone! These are most popular in nostril piercings due to their low profile subtle details. 💎✨

We didn’t have the pleasure of doing Nina’s tragus piercing, but we did have a ton of fun picking out jewelry for it! She went with a this beautiful gold @bvla tear drop featuring one of our favorites, Zawadi Sapphire. Can’t get enough of that gorgeous golden sheen! ✨✨✨

Time and time again, piercing guns have proven to be an unsafe method of piercing, almost always result in a more traumatic experience, and guarantee lengthy healing times. This adorable young lady had her ears pierced by Adam just a few weeks ago with these @swarovski cubic zirconia @anatometalinc dangles, and they’re healing beautifully! Be sure to call ahead to see what safe piercing services we offer for your children today. 💎✨

Shelby pierced Sofie’s septum a few weeks ago, and now it’s happily healed wearing a gorgeous @maria_tash rose gold and cubic zirconia Eternity clicker! These rings not only come in a variety of stone and metal combinations, they can also be made in different orientations. Which makes them perfect for just about any new or existing piercing! Thanks for having such great taste, Sofie! 💎✨
