About Me...

Hello! Welcome to my website! I'm so happy you're here! Allow me to introduce myself!


My name is Stephanie Hutton. I'm originally from a small town called Curwensville, PA & currently live in a town about 20 minutes from here.
I'm a proud Mom of 4, plus a bonus child, & they are all my whole entire world. Owning this business gives me the perfect blend to be a Mom, yet also do what I love!

I'm also about to be your favorite piercer (& new friend, too), and want to say THANK YOU ahead of time for supporting my small business to allow me this opportunity! 

 

My Industry's Backstory:

I started working in a tattoo studio in 2013 as a spokes model, then part time desk girl, then full time, then manager in a nearby town.
Piercings came about when their previous piercer asked me to pierce her. I was super reluctant, if I'm being honest, but she was beyond persistent. On November 16th, 2016, ...I caved.
She saw something in me that I never imagined I'd enjoy. But...I did. A LOT! She continued the knowledge I previously gained (of jewelry, jewlery sizing, medical supplies/equipment, Blood Bourne Pathogens, etc...) through an apprenticeship; teaching me all about anatomy, angles, the proper tools, sterilization, etc. 

I, from there, started to pierce, part time, as needed.

Then another piercer joined over time & he taught me his ways.

Guest Piercers came & I watched over them, too...because you can never learn too much & learning new ways, tips, & tricks is always beneficial!

I also had the pleasure of going to APP (Association of Professional Piercers). The first time was in July '16 & then again in May '19. I enjoy and take pride in piercing by their standards. 

Along the way (May 23rd, 2021), I also became Certified in Ombre Brow Training & Intensive Microblading Training, by the amazing & talented, Mallory Krieger. 

(I've decided to no longer offer Brow Services, hence the business name change. But, I highly recommend everyone goes to Mallory, now located in the Altoona Mall~ "Virago Beauty Bar". I assure you will not regret it! Please, let her know I sent you!)

September 11, 2021, I decided to part ways with my former employment. 

Shawn Elliott, one of my best friends & Owner of Spiraling Upward Tattoo & Art Gallery, invited me to share a studio with him & come July 2022, we opened doors!

My 1st client was July 27th, 2022 & we plan to stay for as long as you all support our small local business! 🥰


Shawn is such a talented & incredible Artist! If you'd like to reach him, text the same number as you would to reach me (at Hocus Poke'Us Piercing Studio) 814-420-4222, as I help with his business end. 

If you considering being tattooed by him...dooo itttt! 

Check out his social media! I placed his links below! 

I (we) can't wait to work with you!

I love to assist my client's in creating the ultimate ear curation! 

I love to curate ears! Do you have a vision? Let me help bring it to life! I have several APP approved jewelry vendors that I work with. If I don't have it in stock, I always welcome client special orders! 
All of my jewelry options are safe, nickel free, & available in titanium, to niobium, to 14K & 18K Gold (yellow, rose, white), and even Platnium!

Complete Double Ear Curation (note the previous image), featuring Junipurr Jewelry! 
This client's "Beach Theme" vision was brought to life! 

Say "no" to unsafe piercing guns!

I adore working with 'lil's!!!
As a Mom of 4, plus a bonus child, I have all the patience in the world. I'm soley & independently run by appointment only, in a private room setting. No worries of a long line, no rush, just one-on-one time, ensuring comfort & trust. No traumatizing piercing guns, subpar jewelry, sharp pointy posts, or too taunt butterfly backs that harbor bacteria. 
All 1st Time piercings come with a free personalized 8x10 Certificate of Bravery, as well as photos & aftercare directions sent by text. 
I also stand behind my work & if you ever have questions, I'm there throughout the healing process to reach out to, 7 days a week. Us Moms stick together. (Check out my reviews on Facebook & Google!)
Age requirement is that your child is old enough to state this is a procedure they personally wish to have done. If your child changes their mind, that's okay. This is ultimately & entirely their choice!
*Birth Certificates are required to properly fill the legal consent form, by the consenting parent, along with their Photo ID, to link the minor to their parent. A photo image is sufficient for the Birth Certificate. Feel free to text for more information. 814-420-4222
