What Jewelry and Custom Design Services Does Exotix Studios Offer?

Updated

Exotix Studios offers four jewelry categories—rings, studs, chains, and charms—along with in-studio custom piece design consultations. You can also book a visit for advice on an existing piercing rather than a new one. The studio is located in Toronto's Fashion District and has been operating since 2002.

Jewelry Available at the Studio

According to the studio's own service listing, the jewelry selection is organized into four groups:

Category What it covers
Rings Circular jewelry for healed and healing piercings
Studs Straight and curved posts with decorative ends
Chains Chain-style jewelry, often used for connecting or draping across multiple piercings
Charms Decorative add-on pieces

The studio frames these as in-studio purchase options, so the practical path is to visit and see the selection in person rather than order remotely. The site does not publish a product catalog, brand list, material list, or price list, so specific metals, gauges, and costs need to be confirmed directly with the studio.

Custom Piece Design Consultations

Exotix Studios explicitly lists "sitting down to discuss designing a custom piece" as one of the reasons to come in. That means custom design is handled as an in-person consultation, not an online form or email brief.

A consultation of this kind typically covers:

  • What you want made — the style, shape, or concept you have in mind
  • Where it will sit — which piercing it's for, since anatomy affects what's workable
  • Feasibility — whether the design can be made and worn safely in that location

Because the studio also requires an anatomy consultation before any piercing, the same logic applies here: placement and anatomy come first, design second.

Advice on Existing Piercings

The studio lists "advice on an existing piercing" as a service alongside new piercings and jewelry purchases. This is useful if you have a piercing that is irritated, not healing as expected, or that you want to change jewelry in. Bring the piercing itself—and if you already have jewelry in it, that context helps the piercer assess what's going on.

Who You'll Deal With

  • Six — owner and body piercer since 1999, opened the studio in 2002. Specializes in genital and microdermal piercings; named NOW Magazine's Best Body Piercer in 2016.
  • Gordon — piercing since 2009, with the team since 2015, and a graduate of Association of Professional Piercers training. Go-to for septum and bridge piercings and large gauge work.
  • Lindsay — manager and apprentice (apprenticeship began 2024). The studio specifically notes that if you like chains, charms, and maximalist styling, Lindsay is the person to see—relevant if your interest is in layered or decorative jewelry setups.
  • Aisling — receptionist, handles client assistance at the front desk.

What to Know Before You Go

  • Age rules apply to piercings, not just jewelry. Body piercings are offered to clients 16 and older with government-issued photo ID, no exceptions. Nipple, genital, and microdermal piercings require 18+.
  • Some services aren't offered at all. The studio does not do industrial, snake eye, frog eye, nasallang, or surface piercings, and does not perform extreme modifications such as scarification, ear pointing, or tongue bifurcation. If your custom design depends on one of those placements, it won't be possible here.
  • Anatomy consultation comes first. Every piercing is subject to an anatomy consultation, so expect that step before any jewelry decision is finalized.
  • Private piercing rooms are available, which matters if you're discussing intimate or custom work.

Practical Next Step

If your goal is jewelry or a custom piece rather than a new piercing, the studio's stated setup points to one route: come in, talk through what you want, and let the piercer assess placement and feasibility. There's no published online ordering or custom request process, so the consultation is the entry point.
