About Fierce Body Piercing
Fierce Body Piercing is a female-owned professional body piercing studio in Tucson, offering body piercing services and a wide selection of jewelry. The studio describes itself as a group of strong and ambitious women who are redefining success on their own terms. Its work centers on the art of body piercing, personal expression, and creating an experience that helps people feel informed and empowered as they pursue their jewelry and piercing ideas.
The studio's team includes Valerie Jay, the professional body piercer and owner. Her jewelry picks and curations are shared through the studio's social media. Vanessa Drow serves as general manager and front-of-house lead, helping guests find jewelry that suits their style. Brianna Helen is the lead body piercer and social media manager, with more than eight years of experience and education in the field. The team also includes Talitha Cuthbertson, a professional body piercer whose specialties include ear curations and projects, and JD, a professional body piercer who particularly enjoys facial piercings, including eyebrows. The studio's team members bring different aesthetic interests to their work, from yellow gold and detailed ear projects to white gold, black jewelry, spikes, chains, and edgy designs.
Fierce places a strong emphasis on education, safety, and continued learning. The studio is a member of the Association of Professional Piercers, and says it has pursued continued education in order to provide safe piercing. It identifies health and safety as its highest priorities and encourages verification of its membership through the Association of Professional Piercers. Before scheduling, the studio asks guests to read its "Before You Book" information thoroughly, making that preparation part of the process.
Jewelry at Fierce is made with implant grade materials, including ASTM F136 titanium, 316LVM surgical stainless steel, and 14k to 18k solid gold. The studio says its vendors are verified through the Association of Professional Piercers. Its jewelry selection includes genuine and synthetic gemstones, with options ranging from ceramic crystals and diamonds to genuine Australian white opal. According to the studio, its gemstones are ethically sourced and guaranteed for life through its vendors. The combination of material choices and jewelry curation allows the team to consider both personal style and the needs of people who are sensitive to certain metals.
Sterilization is another central part of the studio's approach. Fierce says all instruments and jewelry used for piercing are sterilized in a Statim autoclave using pressure and extreme heat. Piercings are performed with single-use, tri-beveled needles, which the studio identifies as supporting precision and smooth transfers. Its autoclaves are spore tested every two weeks and maintained monthly. These procedures reflect the studio's stated commitment to maintaining a careful, informed piercing environment in Tucson.
Fierce Body Piercing operates by appointment and also accepts walk-ins up to 30 minutes before closing. Visitors can begin by reviewing the studio's booking information and exploring its services, aftercare guidance, jewelry gallery, and team members. Located on East Broadway Boulevard in Tucson, the studio serves people looking for professional piercing, jewelry selection, and guidance from a team whose stated goal is to inspire, educate, and empower through body piercing.
