What Our Community Says About PLU
I am so glad I went to PLU, Carol exceeded every expectation I had, and I would refer her to anyone a thousand times over. She really is a master and professional in her work.
Carol is a true artist! I booked an appointment somewhat impulsively, wanting to treat myself with something new. I left with some new piercings and jewelry for existing piercings, as well as my curation to plan for future piercings. I am so excited and want to go back already.
“Carol is incredible! She’s professional, thorough, friendly and very knowledgeable. She has a very keen eye for what looks good. I couldn’t be happier with my piercings and now I have a mapped out plan for my future piercings with Carol. Seriously, if you’re thinking about it, book her!”
Welcome to PLU Piercing Studio, where tradition meets innovation, and every piercing tells a story.
We are committed to providing our clients with an elevated piercing artistry experience. Our studio stands for "People Like Us," celebrating the rich history of piercing as a form of self-expression and symbolism spanning over 5000 years. We welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds, styles, and personalities, offering them a safe and comfortable space to express themselves authentically. Piercing may be our art but there’s much more to our work, read more about how we are bringing positive impact, community, and purpose into piercing.
IMPACT
We're not just a business; we're a heart-centered hub in the heart of Phoenix. Every month, we give back to our community, supporting locals who fuel our passion for storytelling through piercings. Because at PLU, we believe in the power of small acts to create big change.
COMMUNITY
Community isn't just a buzzword for us—it's at the core of everything we do. Our studio is a space where connections are forged, and memories are made. Our jewelry isn't just adornment; it's a catalyst for bringing people together, creating meaningful moments and mementos that last a lifetime.
PURPOSE
There's a purpose in every piercing we do. From self-expression to “just-because-it-made-me-smile” to meaningful mementos honoring loved ones, every piece of jewelry we offer is part of your unique story. Our mission is to help you tell that story authentically, beautifully, and with purpose.
