After visiting over 40 piercing studios along the West Coast (all the way down to San Diego!), Vicky opened Elemental Body Adornment in 2015, wanting to bring high end jewellery and piercing services to the city to help make the world a shinier, happier place. They strongly believe in offering the safest piercing services possible, and the best body jewellery companies available in the world.
Some of their favourite piercings to perform are eyebrows ("I love how they frame the face!"), nostrils ("I could do them all day!") and conches ("So much real estate!"). The best part of their job is helping clients find their favourite new piece of jewellery!
