Hi, my name is Casey.

I​ am a professional body piercer, wife, and mother. Currently traveling, I'm originally from Bakersfield, CA.

I​ want to share a little about myself, where I come from, how I got here, and where I'm going.

I​ come from several different job types, from grocery to child care. I have worked security and dipped my toes in sales. Cell phones, to cars... nothing ever felt right. I never felt proud or fulfilled in what I was doing. I searched very intentionally for several years to find the place that I could call home.

Finally, in 2019, that place showed itself (even though I didn't know it at the time).

Sykotic Ink tattoo and body piercing studio was looking for a front desk receptionist. I thought "let me apply, the worst they could say is no".

From application to a phone interview, then to meet in person... I got the call that I got the job!

This opportunity definitely came at a time when I needed it, but what I didn't know was how much I was going to fall in love with it.

I​ worked my way from receptionist to studio manager. And while managing the studio, I was able to take on an apprenticeship to become a piercer.

Fast forward, 3 years later... 2022. I can honestly say I am proud of myself.

Not only was I able to take on all the tasks put in front of me, but I was able to learn so much about myself.

With an amazing mentor, I found the thing that gets my mind going. The thing that I can speak about for hours; the thing that makes me want to learn more and more.

Forever growing.

Piercing has become such a big part of life. It's an art that I want to continue to educate myself and my clients about.

M​y vision is to one day open my very own piercing studio.

Having the opportunity to serve my community with high-quality body art.

Over many years I have experienced getting pierced in various studios and encountered a multitude of piercers and personalities, one thing I can say for certain is customer service and educational value, unfortunately, isn't consistent.

T​he dream is to build a team that can go above and beyond.

I want to open the minds of those that see piercing(s) as anything less than art, bringing quality and consistency to everyone from first-timers to old souls.
