Jamie: Piercings

I began piercing in 1997 and opened Evil by the Needle in 2009. I am a Fakir Intensives alumni and regularly attend the Association of Professional Piercers. My favorite part of the job is making people smile every day. We all have our reasons we chose to get piercings and I love to see people change and blossom like a butterfly.
