A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

A great piercing job, in this economy? I think so!

I recently saw on my buddy Jareb’s facebook page that  his studio, Spider-Bite Tattoos and Body Piercings. Normally, a post like that wouldn’t have gotten my immediate attention. However, the fact it comes from the same piercer who is con stantly making post such as “just did my 40th piercing, now it’s time for lunch”, leads me to believe this is an extremely busy shop (which also happens to use high end jewelry, this is no hack shop) and is therefore a great opportunity for the right piercer. Hell, if it wasn’t in NH, I might have jumped on this one myself.

“Very busy downtown Manchester, NH tattoo and body piercing shop is looking for an experienced and licensed body piercer. Previous shop experience and valid body arts practicioner license A MUST! Please call 603-661-3449 to arrange interview! FT and PT position available!”

    Thanks Sean.

    The shop is most definitely hiring, as I am leaving and our other piercer will be alone. We also own/operate a second shop in town that will be in need of a piercer. I hear the complaints about our prices a lot, but that happens in a recession. We use Neometal, Anatometal, LeRoi, and Industrial Strength as our jewelry companies, and you get what you pay for. Still, as others have noted, our selection is beyond huge.

    And yeah, we are quite busy. The week after Christmas, I did 49 piercings on a Thursday. Even now, in the middle of winter, I am averaging 15-20 a day. This is an amazing opportunity for whoever is able to nail it down.

    I def LOVE this shop <3 I’ve been there before many times and they always take care of me and my sisters to the fullest Extent. I got my eyebrow pierced there, my sister got 3 ear piercings at once as well as a nose piercing, my other sister got her nose and belly button done there, and my other sister got her lip and eyebrow done. I look forward to visiting this shop again soon 🙂 and if I was a professional piercer, I would most DEFINITELY be working there.
    I can’t say New Hampshire is an easy place to run the shop though. Right next door to Manchester is an extremely up-tight town called Bedford where I lived. They really don’t believe in anything diverse or different. Manchester is much better though 🙂 which is kinda a goo situation.
    They def. Have the best healing products too. I wouldn’t go any place else to get healing products for a piercing.
