Very excited about this new daith and double mid helix combo! #piercingsbyrikki #safepiercing #appmember ...

The cutest lil triple. #piercingsbyrikki #safepiercing #appmember ...

Operation “don’t spoil that tiny dog” is going as well as I expected ...

I mean yeah, this rose gold space themed flat and helix I did are cute, but ya’ll know I took a picture because of that rad plastic dino earring (not from me, lol). #piercingsbyrikki #safepiercing #appmember ...

Three ears, three stars, three slightly different placements. All adorable. #piercingsbyrikki #safepiercing #appmember ...

No piercing services tomorrow. It’ll be my new puppy’s first day at home and we both need some time to adjust. Timing ended up being weird (I picked this puppy in May) and I’ve got a lot of feelings to feel at the same time. I’ll be back on Tuesday! ...

Fun new septum and labret! #piercingsbyrikki #safepiercing #appmember ...

Work is going well, new shop is nice, I just miss @patrickgoodwin because he’s still sick. The shop is so quiet without him and all his friends. 😭 Anyway, here’s two new nostril piercings. #piercingsbyrikki #safepiercing #appmember ...

I’ve barely even begun decorating, but I’m so excited about my new space! ...

Good news: I didn’t forget how to pierce in the last two weeks! Here’s a new septum piercing with a niobium ring to prove it. #piercingsbyrikki #safepiercing #appmember ...

I’M NOT SICK! I’m coming back to work! I’ll be there 1-8pm today! And when I say, “there”, I mean our brand new location….we’re OPEN!!!!! (Btw fresh tragus from like a month ago when I worked last, lol) #piercingsbyrikki #safepiercing #appmember ...

Hey kids. I am feeling a LOT better, but I am still sniffly, coughing a little, and unfortunately, still testing positive. I won’t be able to pierce today like I was hoping. Christian needs a day after taking up my slack all weekend, so there will be NO PIERCING SERVICES today. He’ll be back in the shop to assist you 1-8pm tomorrow, and I’m like 90% sure I’ll be back to piercing on Thursday. I’m so sorry this has been such an annoying week. Here’s my quarantine buddy: ...

Turns out I didn’t escape Covid. Who knew being around a zillion mostly unmasked people who had also just been on airplanes for several days would be a bad idea. 🙄 This throws a wrench in our plans for the new shop opening, obviously. We are CLOSED today for the rest of our staff to test, we’ll see where we’re sitting tomorrow. I personally am unable to pierce until at least Tuesday. ...

Okay okay: the BIG NEWS, as promised! We are super close to our new location being open! I’m betting we’ll be working in there by this Saturday, if not before! I’m SO excited, it’s super beautiful, and SO much bigger (two piercing rooms!!). I can’t wait to see you all there! ...

Sorry, I know I told you all Sunday, but I really overestimated myself. I have BIG NEWS for Tuesday to make up for it! ...

Please be gentle with us, we had a long exhausting week and I definitely should have given us today off to recover. 🥱 ...

FINAL REMINDER:
I’ll be in the studio 1-5pm tomorrow (Saturday 6/11) and will NOT BE AVAILABLE AGAIN until Sunday, 6/19 at 3pm! ...

Pre-conference hair refresh. I think it’s been probably ten years since I’ve had black hair. It’s my favorite, but it’s also a commitment, lol. ...
