Who Are the Piercers at Exotix Studios and What Are Their Specialties?

Updated

Exotix Studios lists four team members on its site: Six (owner and body piercer), Gordon (body piercer), Lindsay (manager and apprentice), and Aisling (receptionist). If you're choosing who to book with, the practical split is: Six for genital and microdermal work, Gordon for septum, bridge, and large-gauge piercings, and Lindsay for styling help with chains, charms, and maximalist setups. Aisling handles reception questions rather than piercing.

Six: Owner and Body Piercer

Six has been piercing since 1999 and opened Exotix Studios in 2002. The studio's own history notes it spent eight years on Church Street in the Village before relocating to the Fashion District.

His specialty is genital and microdermal piercings, and the site describes him as well versed in all piercings. His personal favorite to perform is a vertical labret. He was also voted NOW Magazine's Best Body Piercer in 2016.

Choose Six if: you're booking a genital or microdermal piercing, or you want the studio's most experienced piercer for a less common placement.

Gordon: Body Piercer

Gordon has been piercing since 2009 and joined the Exotix team in 2015. He has attended the Association of Professional Piercers, which is a relevant credential if continuing education matters to you.

He's described as the go-to for septum and bridge piercings, or "any piercing you've been dreaming of." His favorite piercing to do is a conch, or anything in a large gauge.

Choose Gordon if: you want a septum, bridge, conch, or large-gauge piercing, or you specifically value APP attendance.

Lindsay: Manager and Apprentice

Lindsay has been with Exotix since 2017 and handles reception alongside keeping the studio running smoothly. Her piercing apprenticeship began in 2024, so she is the newest piercer on the team.

Her styling focus is chains, charms, and maximalist setups. If your goal is a curated, layered look rather than a single piercing, that's her stated strength.

Choose Lindsay if: you want help building a stacked or maximalist jewelry look, or you're combining piercings with chains and charms.

Aisling: Receptionist

Aisling works reception and is listed as always happy to assist. For booking, hours, or general questions before your visit, reception is the first point of contact rather than a piercer.

How to Decide

  • Genital or microdermal: Six.
  • Septum, bridge, conch, or large gauge: Gordon.
  • Styling with chains, charms, or a maximalist setup: Lindsay.
  • General questions or scheduling: Aisling at reception.

One thing to plan around regardless of who you book: the studio requires an anatomy consultation before any piercing, and age rules apply. Body piercings are offered to clients 16 and older with government-issued photo ID, while nipple, genital, and microdermal piercings require clients to be 18 or older.
