Piercings by Riley

I’ve been postponing making this post for no other reason than it breaks my heart… being forced to be on medical leave super sucks, and I was hoping to be able to work little bits during the remaining time on my lease, unfortunately it just hasn’t been possible…I am holding out hope to have a few days here and there to say goodbye/sell jewelry/finish projects etc.. but I also want to be responsible and diligent and courteous and ensure the best for my clients wants/needs for the meantime and also moving forward… SO!! **I will be referring all clients to ♥️👏🏻 —from piercing your young kiddos all the way to curating and finishing custom curations, you will all in truly superb hands with Ben. (He does offer walk-ins although appointments are preferred. He has years of experience, a beautiful collection of Jewelry, works in a in a private piercing space within a nice studio and has a heart of gold. Enjoy, have fun, and be kind to him… (he knows how important each one of you are to me and I trust you’ll be well cared for.)

One of my favorite things about creating custom curations is getting to know how unique each person is and being able to design them something perfectly tailored to them.
Whether it’s styling a beautiful jewelry combination or creating something a bit more literal, it’s always fun and always an absolute honor!

Side note: it really is so fascinating to watch piercing and jewelry evolve over the years—anddd booiiii lemme tell you, when I was younger and getting pierced we did NOT have anything close to what’s available these days…kids today will never understand the struggle of silver chonky rings in absolutely everything 😂 but hey, atleast all of us who got pierced decades before it was popular have a whole new world to RESTYLE with!! 👏🏻

My heart feels so full it could explode.

I love my craft and I love my clients. I really am so SO honored to be given so much full free rein by established clients as well as first-time-meet clients alike. (—Also: just know that if you give me free reign: you’re going to get chains, charms, or something dangly lol I’m obsessed.)

*These last couple years have been some of the absolute toughest of my life, in so many ways, but through all the turmoil and chaos the universe also gifted me with an incredible husband, amazing (step) children (as well as their wonderful mama who accepted me with open arms) and such genuine friends and I couldn’t be more grateful for where I am and all the support I’ve been shown.

**I’ve truly never felt more safe, happy or healthy in my life ♥️♥️♥️.I miss my parents so much (rest in peace) but I know they’re watching over and helping align this amazing deck of cards I’m holding.

I’m so grateful and love you all.

Okay, mushy monologue over. 🙏🏻
