Hey there! I started in the industry at the local studio near my hometown of Hershey PA in 2006 and began piercing here in San Jose in 2009. One of my favorite things about my job is being able to connect with each unique person I meet. I truly believe that piercing can be transformative, fun, empowering, intimate, powerful and liberating depending on the client in the chair. I’m in love with warm toned stones (try saying that three times fast) and as a January baby I’m partial to Garnets! At home I’m a mom to three dogs and two cats. I’m also a DIY queen to a fault. There are few projects think I couldn’t do myself. I mean, how hard can it be, right?

Hey y'all! I've been piercing for about 15 years and I love giving folks the ability to express themselves through tiny pieces of art placed skillfully on their bodies. I've spent my entire career traveling and shadowing my peers, attending educational conferences and classes, all to make sure I am offering the best piercing experience to my clients. I'm currently obsessed with green stones of all kinds, especially those set in rose gold. Pair that with some chains or tassels and I'm all about it! When I'm not piercing, you can find me at home with my family, or outdoors soaking up all of the beautiful scenery California has to offer. I adore a good book and I definitely have a fascination with the macabre. I collect all kinds of taxidermy, bones, and awesome pieces of art.

With 15 years of experience in the industry, I pour love into every single piercing I perform. I specialize in perfectly styled ear makeovers and fresh custom curations. When I'm not piercing, I'm cuddling my dogs!

When you come by you’ll most likely see (or hear) me jamming out to our tunes being played throughout the studio. I graduated from Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania with a degree in communications. As a jewelry stylist here, I enjoy getting to know our clients and guiding them to their perfect piece. Tones of greens and black throughout our collection are most likely curated by myself as I'm drawn to earth tones and high contrast. I’m a huge video game nerd and most likely Survivors number one fan. The tribe has spoken.

Hi I’m Payton! I’m a jewelry specialist here at Make Me Holey. Looking at something beautiful brings me joy. The color palettes of nature bring me inspiration in my daily life and as a makeup artist and jewelry curator, I’m always looking for ways to make a statement, both big and small.
