Butterfly backs are everywhere at the mall — and they cause more bumps in my chair than almost any other jewelry choice.…
A piercing photo on Instagram is not your ear. I mark every piercing for your tissue — angle, depth, and jewelry length.…

Long starter posts are intentional — short jewelry on day one causes embedding, bumps, and angle irritation.…

Ear piercing for minors 14+ with a parent or guardian present — ID required. Facial and body piercings are adults only in my chair.…
Katelyn works one-on-one for ear piercing, helix piercing, nostril consults, anatomy checks, implant-grade titanium piercing jewelry, jewelry changes, downsizing, and calm aftercare support near the Strip.
