The World's Oldest Professional Piercing Studio!
SINCE 1989
Paul Stoll - Owner, Piercer
(Piercing by appointment only)
Force of habit got him into the business. Started piercing himself when he was 15 years old back in 1989. He used a pressure cooker for an autoclave and melted the plastic hubs off ambulance needles. Started piercing other folks by 1992 once Dakota Steel started selling him proper piercing needles. Set up his first shop in the back of a hair salon at 1324 haight street, oddly enough, the new location of Braindrops. Began working at Body Manipulations in 1997. Took on ownership in April 2002 breaking Vaughn loose from the chains of business. Piercing for over 15 years and still loving it!
