Kris With a K is a professional piercer in St. Louis who completed their apprenticeship in 2023 and brings 3 years of experience to their craft. Kris has a particular passion for ear curation, helping clients design cohesive and beautiful jewelry arrangements that tell their personal story. While they work across most piercing types, they prefer to focus on areas where they can create the most impact and comfort for their clients.
What sets Kris apart is their genuine connection with people – they’re fueled by each client’s unique energy, reasons, and personal story behind wanting a piercing. Their approach is patient and calming, especially with first-timers and younger clients, taking time to collaborate on placement and ensure everyone feels comfortable. Kris loves the technical aspects of piercing (yes, they actually enjoy that satisfying crunch of cartilage) and takes pride in being able to say they “legally stab people for work.” When not piercing, you’ll probably find them deep in anime discussions – they’re always up for guessing games about their top ten favorites.
