🖤✨ GET TO KNOW YOUR ARTIST ✨🖤
Hi, I’m Megan Smith, aka "Megan the Piercer" owner, piercer, and tooth gem artist here at Velvet Nyx.
I’ve been piercing for 3 1/2 years now, and honestly, one of my favorite things about this job is getting to be a small part of someone’s self-expression. I love when someone comes in with an idea and I get to bring it to life. My favorite piercings to do are dermals and ni***es, and I’ll probably never get tired of getting to do them.
A few things about me outside of piercing: I have a German Shepherd, kitties, and a small army of kids. I love books, movies, Halloween, and pretty much anything involving potatoes and ranch. I’m also a self-proclaimed man hater… who somehow has a boyfriend that became my favorite person. 😂
As for Velvet Nyx — I wanted to create a space that felt like me. A little dark, a little weird, a little luxurious, but still comfortable and welcoming. Nyx represents the darker side of transformation, while Velvet brings in the softness and comfort. I wanted Velvet Nyx to be a place where people can come in, be completely themselves, and leave feeling a little more confident in who they are.
So that's me!! The person behind the piercings, tooth gems, questionable jokes, and probably the reason there are black things everywhere in the studio. 🖤
