Charlie Punke

Piercing Specialist 
​They/He
Charlie had been piercing professionally since August 2017 and a member of the APP since March of 2020. They've always had the passion for helping others achieve their own unique personality and style through piercing. 

With their first exposure to piercing at 15 years old, they knew this was going to grow into a life long passion. Fast forward a few years later and they offer a safe and comfortable experience with beautiful jewelry.


"What we do is fun and exciting, but also deserves to be taken seriously. Piercing saved my life really, it’s sacred. Piercing taught me patience, discipline, the ability to take and apply critique. While also allowing me the freedom to alter the image I gave of myself to the world."
