Aperture is a piercing-only studio located in Historic Downtown Poulsbo.

Run under the guidelines of the Association of Professional Piercers (verify at safepiercing.org), we are proud to offer a safe, clean, and welcoming environment for body piercing. We strive to provide the best experience we can.
We are excited to offer piercing services with two piercers to choose from throughout the week!
Jake Gentle-Hands (he/him) has been piercing since 2009 and has been an active business member of the APP since 2014. Jake has also attended the Fakir Intensives in San Francisco and is the owner of the studio. Jake is our staff member who is best with nervous clients and younger kiddos. He would love to be involved in larger gauge piercing and punch projects you might be considering!
Lindsey Wright (she/her) has been working in studios as a counter person since 2011. She apprenticed under Jake at our studio and graduated her piercing apprenticeship as well as became a business member of the APP in 2018. Lindsey loves doing conch piercings with unique jewelry choices.
Safe practices, safe piercing.
All piercings are done with single-use, hollow needles. We abide by strict aseptic technique and sterilization processes. We also offer a vast selection of the highest quality jewelry available in the United States, all crafted from implant grade titanium, niobium, or solid 14k (and higher) gold— all with lifetime manufacturer’s guarantees. Every piercing service is performed with the health and well-being of our clients in mind.
We are so proud to offer a huge variety of piercing services! Ear piercings, facial piercings, surface piercings, and general body piercings, including nipples and genitals. While it appears that we can pierce just about anything, we greatly consider anatomy, lifestyle, and general health before moving onto any service. These factors will help us ensure that we provide a piercing that successfully heals and can be kept permanently. Anatomy limitations, lifestyle/health restrictions, and age minimums are all taken into consideration for client safety.
Please see our below for the piercings we offer. Every piercing has a different age minimum informed by what we have found to be best practices.
