Where
It All Began...
Hi I'm Karissa
a registered nurse and mom of two
​
I founded The Nurse Piercer because I believe safe, beautiful body art shouldn't require a trade-off between quality and care.
With an ICU nursing background and advanced training in sterile technique, anatomy, and permanent cosmetics, I bring a standard of precision and cleanliness to piercings and permanent makeup that you simply won't find elsewhere.
​
Some of my training & credentials...
Registered Nurse with ICU-level training in sterile technique and infection control
Certified professional piercer ; hollow needle technique, all ages
AAM (American Academy of Micropigmentation) certified master trainer-trained permanent makeup artist
Trained in microblading, powder ombre, nano brows, and combination techniques
Uses organic hybrid PMU pigments ; premium, skin-safe, and color-true
Every client who comes to me ;whether for their child's first ear piercing or their dream brows, deserves the same level of care I'd bring to a patient in the ICU. That means sterile technique, attention to detail, evidence-based aftercare, and an honest conversation before we begin anything.
​
I care about your results. I care about your safety. And I genuinely enjoy what I do ; which I think you'll feel the moment you walk in.

Getting pierced should be exciting—not stressful. At The Nurse Piercer, your safety comes first. As a licensed nurse, I bring medical-grade precision, hygiene, and care to every piercing, ensuring a clean, professional experience from start to finish. Using sterile techniques and high-quality materials, I prioritize your health while giving you a piercing you’ll love. Because when it comes to body art, you deserve expert hands and a worry-free experience.

Get Pierced
Why
by a Nurse
Let's face it, traditional body piercers in tattoo shops aren't the most kid friendly environment and the "piercers" at Claire's learn from a YouTube video.
In my studio you'll find a comfy and cozy space for your child to feel right at home. Or better yet you can have me come directly to your home for a personalized, stress free experience!
Have a child on the autism spectrum or special needs?
No need to stress, I've worked with children of all different backgrounds and make each child feel safe and supported.
