Hello everyone,

One of our owners and piercers, Farley, lost his battle with a brief illness on May 23rd, 2022. He left me, Morgan, his apprentice, his business partner, and his girlfriend behind when he left this world, along with many other people who loved and cared deeply for this amazing man. Farley made piercing a fun, enjoyable, comfortable experience for his clients and took pride in the work that he did. Now that he's gone, it is my responsibility to uphold the idea of Arcadia and the legacy that he trained me to carry on if he wasn't able to do it himself. I was the only person he apprenticed in his time piercing. He made sure to teach me well. I also want to welcome Rin (he/they) to the Arcadia Professional Body Piercing team. Rin is the new receptionist and jewelry stylist at the studio and will probably be the face that greets you when you come in for your appointment. Rin is new to the industry but has shown enthusiasm and dedication to body piercing. With a background in art, he has a great eye for gemstone color combinations and shape placements, making him a fantastic addition to the Arcadia family. Be sure to give him a warm welcome the next time that you visit us at the studio. Farley taught me to be a strong person and even more so urged me to be a strong woman, both in the piercing industry and in personal life as well. I will not let him down. I cannot wait to see you at our beautiful studio that Farley and I worked so hard to build.
