Rachel’s Apprentice Piercing Profile

I’m originally from a small town in middle Tennessee, but I came to Massachusetts not only to escape the oppressive southern heat, but also to learn a trade that has laid on my heart for many years – body piercing!

I have loved it since age 13, and my love has never wavered. In time, I became aware that I could become a piercer too, and with lots of hard work, earn the privilege of adorning others with piercings that are just as beautiful as the ones I was amazed by as a teen – so that’s what I’ve sought out to do.

I started searching for an apprenticeship, and was one of the lucky few to find one, here at HBA. I’ve been learning under the lovely Penelope’s supervision since 2023, and I can’t possibly thank her enough for her patience.

When I’m not working behind the counter or piercing, I’m either drawing, writing, listening to music, or getting up to no good… which is my favorite.

I would be thrilled to be your piercer!
