Marissa esposito

Marissa began piercing in 2023 after finding her love for precision and client comfort through an extensive background in the medical field. She loves to make sure her clients are having as much fun as she’s having at all times and prides herself on making everyone feel safe and comfortable. Her favorite piercings include dermals, conches, septums and custom ear curations. When she’s not busy making piercing dreams come true, she’s going to shows with her partner, slinging drinks at a dive bar or chasing cryptids. They can also be found in the piercing room having a personal dance party to some early 2000’s emo, but everyone is welcome :)
