Jay – Professional Body Piercer in Tigard
Hi, I’m Jay, a professional body piercer at Skin City Tattoo & Body Piercing in Tigard, Oregon. I began piercing professionally in 2022 after nearly a decade in the body modification community. My approach combines precision, creativity, and care—helping every client feel confident and informed before, during, and after their service.
-
Born in Oregon and raised in southeast Idaho, I’ve always been fascinated by self-expression through piercing. I moved back to Oregon in 2015 and joined Skin City Tattoo & Body Piercing to focus on high-quality, anatomy-based work. My goal is to provide a calm, safe experience that reflects each client’s individuality.
-
While I wouldn’t say I SPECIALIZE in anything, some piercings I consistently perform and enjoy would be ear curation projects, philtrum, conch and forward nostrils.
-
Every piercing is performed with sterile, single-use needles and professional-grade equipment. I take time to discuss placement, jewelry options, and aftercare before beginning—ensuring every client feels confident from start to finish.
-
Clean your piercing twice a day with sterile saline, avoid touching with unwashed hands, and avoid sleeping directly on fresh piercings. I also offer downsizing and jewelry upgrades once healing is complete.
