Kristie Piercie

“I’m one of the few people on this planet who can say they’ve found their dream job.

“Florida girl, born and raised.

I’ve lived in the bay area for 10 years, been managing Lucky 13 Tattoos for 6 years, and I’ve been piercing people for 3 years.

If I said I’ve always been interested in body piercing, I’d be lying. It wasn’t until I started studying the skill that I fell in love with it. When I began my studies, I was already an experienced phlebotomist with degrees in Health Sciences and Social and Behavioral Science. I was no stranger to poking holes in people and practicing proper sanitation, which allowed me to spend more time concentrating on the creative side of body piercing and the best aftercare procedures. All of my favorite subjects: anatomy, physiology, microbiology, psychology, and beauty all came together into this one craft; it’s perfect.

I was meant to be a body piercer.”
