Outlier Body Piercing + Fine Jewelry — Local services in Saint Peters

I brought my 8 year old daughter here to get her first ear piercings and I was blown away by the entire experience, namely with Joshua the piercer. First, if you're bringing in a minor, you need to provide proof of guardianship before they can do the piercing. Once we took care of the proper paperwork, Josh let my daughter pick out the earrings she wanted to get pierced with and explained they would need to be left in for 6 months. He then took about 10 minutes to fully sterilize the room for the piercing. He then had my daughter sit up on the table and said doing the placement would take the longest part because he's very particular and wants to make sure both sides are marked symmetrically. He showed her the black dots and made sure she liked the placement, then he sterilized her earlobes and explained how it would go, from the needle to threading in the earring itself and adding the back. He also made sure it was very clear SHE was in charge, and if she didn't want to do it, or if she got one done and needed a break or if she wanted to come back another day to finish, she could. He joked around and spoke lightheartedly to make her (and our family) feel extremely comfortable, and he included her in conversation and in decisions, making her feel the choice was completely in her hands. Then came the piercing part, where he had her lie down on the table and do one ear at a time, giving her kudos for doing so well and saying it was totally okay that she needed to take some time in between. Afterwards, he made her feel brave and strong for getting her ears pierced, and even offered her (and her little sister) a frozen popsicle for being so tough. Each step in the appt (which took about one hour total) reassured us that this business does everything ethically and officially, and that above all, it's CLEAN and they take the health of the piercing into high consideration. Not only was everything extremely sterile during the piercing itself, but Josh went into great detail on what to do and what not to do with the earrings once we went home. It's now been a week since our appt and I'm pleasantly surprised my daughter has had no pain after the initial appt (my Claire's piercing days certainly had different outcomes) and it's healing amazingly. I would recommend this place for ANY age because the experience was 10/10. Thanks for providing such a safe space...

Highly annoyed. We scheduled and planned for my daughter to get her ears pierced today for her 8th birthday on her day off school. I made sure to schedule my work day around taking her. We arrived 10+min early. After couple minutes we were asked if we had an appointment and said yes, with Miranda. She said she was behind and would be late. I asked how much and she guessed 15+min late for appointment. Considering the girl she was helping was still shopping for earrings and Miranda was heading in back to check inventory, it would be longer than 25min to complete the entire visit with them. We had to leave. I had to be back to work and couldn't give an extra, what I am sure would be MORE than,15min. She never apologized, just said to look and see when we could come back and have more time! So annoyed. My daughter has been looking forward to this and whole day planned around it. You must be aware in your business that a lobe piercing for her age range was likely a first and a big deal. Why make appointments if not going to honor it? My daughter kept telling me it was okay. She is such a trooper. And I don't know when can get her back to a piercing place. Definitely not to Outlier. I will go elsewhere. Not going to give my money to people who don't care, don't have work ethic or sense to be apologetic for their mistake. Miranda couldn't wait to have us move on, not at all concerned at the huge inconvenience she has caused us. Obviously they are busy enough she is not concerned with...

I got my nipples pierced today, and since these are my very first piercings, I went in a little nervous, but my experience was amazing. My piercer, Miranda, was incredibly informative and answered most of my questions before I could even ask them. The couple of questions I did have, she explained clearly and helped ease all my concerns. She was relaxed, professional, and made me feel comfortable through the consult, jewelry selection, and the piercing process.

I ended up choosing titanium bars with beautiful fire orange opal claw ends, and I’m absolutely in love with them! The jewelry selection was both safe and stylish, which made the whole experience feel even more special.

I also found out I don’t have the anatomy for a navel piercing, which was disappointing at first, but I really appreciate Miranda’s honesty in telling me instead of trying to force it. That level of professionalism meant a lot.

The studio itself was pristine yet cozy, with a warm atmosphere that immediately helped calm my nerves.

Overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get a piercing done, especially if it’s your first time. The whole process was easy, safe, and...
