Chuck
Senior Piercer

Chuck has been piercing since 1996.

Katie
Junior Piercer

Katie has been piercing since 2010. She frequently travels both for fun and to continue to hone her education and skills in the piercing industry. She is often found in Sanctum, but when she’s not piercing, she can be found at punk shows or other live music events in New Brunswick and the tri-state area.

We have two piercers on staff. Chuck Shupe and Katie McGaffney. Chuck has been piercing since 1996, and Katie has been piercing since 2010. Both our piercers are trained in aseptic technique and Chuck has a BS in Microbiology from Cook College, Rutgers. On most weeks, Chuck pierces every day except for Wednesday and Sunday. Katie pierces every day except Monday and Friday.

We are a full service piercing parlor, offering all piercings of the ear, nose, lips, and tongue, as well as eyebrow, nipples, navel, and genitals. We also do surface piercings and Surface anchor.
