Woman owned studio operating since 2009. Bloomington's first and only APP Certified studio specializing in fine jewelry and quality custom tattoos.

Jamie: Piercings

I began piercing in 1997 and opened Evil by the Needle in 2009. I am a Fakir Intensives alumni and regularly attend the Association of Professional Piercers. My favorite part of the job is making people smile every day. We all have our reasons we chose to get piercings and I love to see people change and blossom like a butterfly.

Ava: Piercings

Piercing since 2021, Ava is from the Indianapolis area and an IU student. She is deeply passionate about body modification and jewelry.

Kasey: Tattoos

Hello, I'm Kasey Ray! I'm a native Hoosier but I apprenticed in Cocoa Beach, FL in 2014. I specialize in tattoo styles that utilize lots of line, neotraditional, botanical, and more. I love what I do, thank you for choosing me as your artist!
