Piercing Experience was founded by Brian Skellie in 1992. He opened the first shop dedicated to body piercing in the Atlanta area early in the resurgence of popularity in body piercing. After several years in Little 5 Points, Piercing Experience moved to its current location in Candler Park in 1995. This provided a calmer, more comfortable atmosphere for clients.

The shop has continued its mission of providing the safest, gentlest piercings. During 2004, Brian began to travel frequently and take a less active role in the daily operation of the studio. Christina Blossey, after working in many capacities in the studio beginning in late 2001/early 2002, began managing the shop. As Brian’s travels became a permanent move away from Atlanta, Christina took over as owner in 2008. Christina continues to offer piercing services in addition to her role as owner.
