Some people pay to voluntarily get stabbed. But why would anyone want to do that? Well, it\u2019s not what it sounds like\u2014they\u2019re getting body piercings!<\/strong><\/p>\n Body piercings have been around for centuries, embraced by cultures across the world as a form of beauty, spirituality, and self-expression. Today, piercings have evolved into a way for people to showcase individuality and creativity, just like tattoos. When Inked Under Ground opened its doors in January 2024, we realized something important\u2014Winchester didn\u2019t have a single professional piercing studio. That didn\u2019t sit right with us. Our mission has always been to serve our community, and filling that gap was the natural next step.<\/p>\n Now, Inked Under Ground is proud to offer piercing services right alongside our custom tattoos. And just like our tattoo artists, our piercing team isn\u2019t just here to do a job\u2014they\u2019re here to make every client feel seen, heard, and confident in their skin.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Lauren Walker” image=”https:\/\/www.inkedundergroundky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lauren-piercer-lady-1.jpg” alt=”piercings winchester ky” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Piercer<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Destiny Griffith” image=”https:\/\/www.inkedundergroundky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/destiny.jpg” alt=”piercings winchester ky” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Piercing apprentice<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n When it comes to piercing, skill and personality matter equally. That\u2019s why we couldn\u2019t ask for a better duo than Lauren Walker<\/strong> and Destiny Griffith<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Lauren Walker<\/strong> has been piercing on and off for 20 years, and her expertise shines through in every appointment. For her, piercing is more than just placing jewelry\u2014it\u2019s about curation. Lauren loves helping clients design ear setups that tell a story, fit their personality, and make them feel beautiful. Whether it\u2019s a simple lobe piercing or a more complex arrangement, Lauren approaches every piece as if she were creating art on a living canvas.<\/p>\n Destiny Griffith<\/strong>, on the other hand, represents the next generation of piercers. She began apprenticing earlier this year, and she\u2019s already shown a natural talent for the craft. Destiny\u2019s passion comes from her love of people\u2014she thrives on connecting with clients, learning their stories, and helping them express themselves. Around Inked Under Ground, she\u2019s affectionately known as \u201cMrs. Frizzle,\u201d<\/strong> thanks to her other job as a school bus driver. True to the nickname, she even dressed up as everyone\u2019s favorite magical teacher for our Halloween event! Destiny brings that same fun, approachable energy to piercing, making clients feel comfortable even if they\u2019re nervous.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n What makes Lauren and Destiny special isn\u2019t just their technical ability\u2014it\u2019s their personalities. They\u2019re approachable, down-to-earth, and relatable in ways that put clients instantly at ease.<\/p>\n Outside the studio, Lauren<\/strong> loves to read and is unapologetically hooked on what she calls \u201ctrash TV.\u201d That mix of humor and honesty carries over into her piercing work, where she knows exactly how to calm nerves and keep things lighthearted.<\/p>\n Destiny<\/strong>, on the other hand, is a lover of horror movies, true crime shows, and spending time with her family. She\u2019s creative, fun, and compassionate, with an energy that makes every appointment feel less like a procedure and more like hanging out with a friend who just happens to be very good at piercing.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n At Inked Under Ground, we welcome clients of all ages for piercings, but with some important guidelines to ensure safety and proper healing:<\/p>\n Ages 5\u201316<\/strong>: Ear piercings only.

We see them as an extension of personal style and identity. Just like tattoos, piercings can mark milestones, tell stories, or simply serve as beautiful adornments. Our piercers love being part of that process, whether it\u2019s curating a full ear, adding a delicate nose stud, or creating a bold new look with multiple piercings.<\/p>\n Every client leaves not just with jewelry, but with a boost of confidence and a reminder of their individuality.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.inkedundergroundky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ear-piercing.jpg” alt=”piercings winchester ky” title_text=”ear piercing” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Right now, our piercing services are available Wednesdays from 12 PM to 6 PM<\/strong>.
