Jessica June Leonard
She/her
Piercer
My name is Jess and I was born and raised here in Oregon. I knew at a young age that art was for me, but it wasn’t until after college that I realized what kind of artist I wanted to be. I completed my Bachelor of Arts and Design in 2017, and completed my Body Piercing Apprenticeship in 2021 and am a current member of The Association of Professional Piercers. I'm also a lifelong learner and have interests in science that I am pursuing as well.
I see body piercing as an art form, and I believe there is a very spiritual and freeing aspect to body piercing. I love being able to collaborate with you to bring your vision of yourself to life, and help you feel more at home in your skin. To me body piercing has always represented reclamation, bravery and transformation and I love being a part of the same journey for those I pierce.

Sara Guddy
Piercer
She/Her They/Them
Hi folks, it’s Sara! I’m from the Portland area and have live here my whole life. I fell in love with body modification and piercing as a teen and that love just keeps growing. My favorite part about piercings is the freedom it gives people. As much as I love all the sparkles, I believe piercings are a very sacred thing and being able to facilitate in a persons journey of self expression is such an honor. I strive to create a safe and comfortable space for everyone cause let’s face it, getting poked is always a little nerve wracking. I also believe that In many ways piercings are an amazing way to give attention to parts of yourself that so often get overlooked. Taking care of a new piercing is just taking care of yourself! It incorporates a daily routine of self care which I know for myself is something that gets swept under the rug. We all deserve to feel confident in our own skin, I’m just here to make that a little easier for you!
