A look inside a local piercing studio and jewelry company

Описание: #eastidahonews #bizbuzz #piercings

AMMON – An Instagram post about a piercing party prompted Lorin Parkinson to launch her own piercing company. Three years later, it’s a thriving business that also sells earrings, necklaces, jewelry boxes and piercing aftercare products. It also has a nonprofit that gives back to others in need.

Get Pierced Co., which shares a space with Hip Sip at 1615 Market Way in Ammon, is celebrating its third year of business in eastern Idaho. It provides hollow needle piercing services for ears and nostrils. It also has a warehouse location at 3811 North Commerce Circle where it fulfills online orders for customers. The e-commerce side of the business launched in 2023.

Parkinson tells EastIdahoNews.com the needle is one thing that sets her business apart from competitors.

“A needle, which is what you would’ve only seen in a tattoo shop before, is the gold standard in piercing. That’s what we want to use. It’s going to cause the least amount of trauma to the tissue, it’s going to result in better healing and it’s more sanitary,” Parkinson says.

Another thing that Parkinson says distinguishes her business is her customized flat back earring studs. It’s the bread and butter product that started the piercing studio, and later the online jewelry store. A series of stud collections are released throughout the year.

“We have an upcoming collection called Into the Wild. There’s a stud that looks like the Grand Tetons, there’s a stud that looks like a grizzly bear, a leaf, a pine tree,” says Parkinson. “Curated collections are released seasonally.”
