Kristen Barnes

Kristen began her journey in the body art industry behind the counter in 2017, where tattoo shops instantly felt like home. In 2021, she transitioned into piercing and quickly found her calling. By 2024, she became a fully licensed piercer and a proud member of the Association of Professional Piercers (APP).

​

For Kristen, learning is lifelong. She’s continually expanding her technical skills and deepening her understanding of the art and ethics of piercing. She believes body modification is a sacred expression of self, and she’s honored to help each client mark their journey with care, intention, and respect.

When she’s not working, you’ll likely find her at home doting on her four beloved pets.
