Our Story.
The Piercing Studio was built by the two of us. What started as a long-distance relationship between Washington and Florida eventually became a shared project, a shared business, and something that feels deeply personal to both of us.
How It Started
The Piercing Studio started with the two of us.
We’re Christina and Andros, and before there was a studio, there was a long-distance relationship between Washington and Boca Raton, Florida.
We first met in 2024 through a video game, of all places. What started as playing together turned into Discord conversations, phone calls, FaceTimes, and eventually meeting in person that December. Not long after, we started talking seriously about what it would look like to close the distance and build a life together.
At the time, Christina was living in Boca Raton, working in commercial property management while also apprenticing and working in the piercing industry. Piercing had already become something much bigger than a job for her. With 19 piercings of her own and a lifelong love of jewelry and personal style, she saw piercing as a form of art: a way for someone to curate something that feels completely their own.
Christina originally had plans to continue building her career in Florida, but when we decided she would move to Washington, those plans began turning into something new.
Instead of simply finding somewhere else to work, we decided to create something of our own.
Built Together
While Christina was still in Florida, Andros began laying the groundwork for what would become The Piercing Studio: searching for the right location, setting up the business, handling licensing and the behind-the-scenes logistics, and preparing the space for her arrival.
Once we had the keys, the studio became our first major project together.
The renovations were done with the help of our family and friends, and nearly every decision inside the studio was something we worked through together. From the finishes and furniture to the atmosphere and the smallest details, the space became a combination of both of us.
Christina brings the artistry, technical experience, and connection with every client who sits in her chair. Andros works heavily behind the scenes, shaping the business, brand, experience, and direction of the studio.
What started as Christina’s passion for piercing became something we built together.
There was a lot of work behind it. A lot of stress. A cross-country move. Plenty of late nights.
But there was also a lot of love put into it.
And because of that, The Piercing Studio feels incredibly personal to us. It isn’t simply a business we opened. It feels like a piece of both of us.
What We’re Building
From the beginning, we knew we wanted The Piercing Studio to feel different.
We wanted to create the kind of space where the quality of the environment matches the importance of the experience: elevated, intentional, beautiful, and welcoming.
We love the feeling of walking into a luxury space where every detail seems considered, but we never want that level of refinement to come at the expense of warmth. Whether someone is coming in for their very first piercing, adding another piece to a carefully curated ear, or trusting us with an important milestone, we want them to feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely welcomed.
Because to us, this should be more than a service and a transaction.
It should be an experience.
The Piercing Studio is still at the beginning of its story, but what we’re building is much bigger than one location. Our goal is to create something people recognize for exceptional piercing, beautiful jewelry, thoughtful service, and an experience that feels distinctly ours.
And it all started with the two of us.
We’d Love to Welcome You.
