What a beautiful day for a wedding! I won’t be in the studio today; we’re going to celebrate! ...

Someone posted some James Gurney art the other day and reminded me that Dinotopia was one of the most magical parts of my childhood. So, I looked him up, and bought a gorgeous signed print of one of my favorite paintings. I can’t wait to get it framed and displayed! ...

Ya’ll are CHALLENGING me and I love it. Here’s a fresh vertical bridge from yesterday! #piercingsbyrikki #safepiercing #appmember ...

I literally can not BELIEVE the amount of cute piercings I’ve let walk out the door with no photos this past week. I’ve been too busy, I’m sorry!!! To make up for it, here’s an excellent client photo featuring her two day old double philtrum piercings! #piercingsbyrikki #safepiercing #appmember ...

Good news, everyone! @cactuslicker.piercing is now available on Wednesdays to offer helix, flat, conch, faux rook, mid, and lobe piercings! It’s been very busy in the shop and there’s been long waits, so if one of these piercings are what you’re after, come see Christian on a Wednesday! ...

Today is the day I begin offering under the mask services, but it isn’t the ONLY day! You can come see me any day besides a Monday or Wednesday and we’ll get the recently neglected lower half of your face looking sparkly and new. While I won’t be policing your vaccination status (only because I’m tired of people yelling at me and I can’t handle it), being fully vaccinated is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. Septum piercings are cute, but they aren’t cute enough to potentially get sick over. #piercingsbyrikki #safepiercing #appmember ...

Oh my gosh, it’s already my last day of vacation! 😭💜 here’s a bunch of cool piercings I’ve done; the helix on the left is fresh and the flat on the right is newly upgraded! #piercingsbyrikki #safepiercing #appmember ...

💜☔️💜 ...

Casual reminder I am NOT WORKING UNTIL JUNE 1ST.
In the meantime, enjoy this lovely conch piercing. 😊 #piercingsbyrikki #safepiercing #appmember ...

New bridge with some claw set amethyst! #piercingsbyrikki #safepiercing #appmember ...

New tragus piercing! #piercingsbyrikki #safepiercing #appmember ...

Reminder that TOMORROW TUESDAY MAY 25th is my last day in the shop until TUESDAY JUNE 1st. I’m taking a mental health staycation and you should too. Go to the beach, wear sunscreen, don’t let the ocean steal your jewelry. Selfie (with cleavage!) for visibility 😂 ...

You want gorgeous ears like this? All you’ve gotta do is take good care of your piercings and WAIT till that piercing is healed before changing your jewelry. Fresh rook today, and we swapped out that *healed* conch I did to a pretty new ring! #piercingsbyrikki #safepiercing #appmember ...

REMINDER: I will be taking may 26th through may 31st OFF. No piercings, no jewelry sales during that time. Always text me with any piercing emergency (618-645-1945) but I might be slower than usual to respond during that time!
Fresh flat, mid, and third hole! #piercingsbyrikki #safepiercing #appmember ...

Could that cluster be MORE perfect in this ear? No. #piercingsbyrikki #safepiercing #appmember ...

It’s a new shoe day ...

To stack, or not to stack? Sometimes the answer is: yes. #piercingsbyrikki #safepiercing #appmember ...

I love a nice rook piercing! #piercingsbyrikki #safepiercing #appmember ...
