December 2024 Medical Leave for Kelsey
Hello Everyone,I wanted to write this note to express my gratitude as I have navigated my health issues. I took a few days off throughout November for treatment, but unfortunately have come up against more hurdles. I will be taking December off from appointments to try and recoup and seek further treatment. With the existing holiday closures this will be the least disruptive time to step away and I hope to be back to normal scheduling in the new year. In the meantime, please keep booking with Cadence for any services possible. She has graciously stepped up to take over extra shifts...

Don’t Do It: Welded “Permanent” Earrings
Welcome to my new blog series “Don’t Do It”, where I’ll be sharing piercing and jewelry trends that are best left alone. Our first topic: the TikTok trend with welded earrings. I wrote this post about 2 weeks before publishing and thankfully have seen more people coming out against this trend instead of for it, so here's to hoping it stays that way! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As a professional body piercer since 2017, I have seen trends come and go.

Amazon Finds
While we do NOT recommend shopping for body jewelry on Amazon, there are some great options for products and tools to help you in your healing journey. Here are our favorite products (affiliate links included) Steri-Wash Saline 3oz We offer the 8oz version in store at Studio Wren, but sometimes a small bottle is needed for travel or convenience. Pointed Q-tips Great for hard to reach spots behind jewelry. Piercing Pillow There are MANY piercing pillow designs. Sometimes it takes trial and error to find one comfortable for you. More products to come, check back soon!

Studio Wren Is Moving!
To say our first few months of business have been a roller coaster would be an understatement. Someday I will write out exactly what has transpired (mostly for my own therapeutic processing) for anyone interested, but for now I hope if suffices to say I am so thankful for the opportunity that has come out of all the drama. I will be joining the team at Anomaly Tattoo in Plano, TX. They do not have a piercing department so I am excited to bring a new service to their clientele and be able to fully serve my clients again after...

Needle vs Piercing Gun (Spoiler Alert: Needle Wins Every Time)
If we put body piercing needles and piercing guns in a head to head battle who would win? Well if you read the title of this blog post you might have a good idea. That's right, needle wins every time. There are many excellent articles and blogs out there that go into detail so I'll just highlight some of the most important parts. Cleanliness / Hygiene Piercing guns CANNOT be properly sterilized. The reusable guns come into contact with bodily fluids from multiple people a day and a simple wipe down of the parts that can be reached is not...
