Victoria.
The hand for the first piercing.
Victoria pierces the way she talks — measured, quiet, exact. The piercer parents ask for when they bring a nine-year-old in for their first lobes. The piercer fifty-year-olds ask for when they're starting over after twenty years of closed holes.
She is the one who reads the room. If a client is shaking, she sits down. If a client is fine, she works at speed. She does not perform calm — she just is.
"The first piercing should be the calmest piercing. Everything else gets easier from there."
She also runs the studio's Galveston rotations — call ahead to confirm she's on the island that day, because her dates change with the season.
The placements she's known for.
| First-timersany age | Children, adults restarting, anyone with a fear of needles. She'll walk through every step before any setup is opened. |
| Septumfast healer | The piercing the internet makes scary. Twenty minutes in her chair and most people forget what they were nervous about. |
| Lobe restorationafter they've closed | Reopening or repositioning lobes after years of healed-shut holes — done with gold, slightly higher, fresh. |
| Mother–daughtersame chair, same hour | A signature of her practice. Two generations, one sitting. Often three. |
