Ashley Reeves - Professional Piercer - Tallahassee, FL

Ashley (she/her) moved to Tallahassee from Central Florida in 2009. Since then, the city has become her home; its people her friends, neighbors, and colleagues.

One of Ashley's earliest Tallahassee memories is having her septum pierced by Bink. She was surprised by the painlessness of the procedure, and how at-ease the studio made her feel. It made such a good impression that she became a loyal client that day. When she heard Body Piercing by Bink was hiring years later, she jumped at the chance to apply. Ashley is proud and honored to be part of the crew here at one of her favorite locally owned businesses. She can't imagine a better job with better clients!

She hopes to continue learning and growing in her role as a professional piercer, and upholding the standards of quality and professionalism that the shop has long offered Tallahassee. In the years since she began piercing, she has sought out further education. This includes an Applied Jewelry Professional diploma from the Gemological Institute of America; seminars given by the APP regarding diversified topics such as anatomy, technique, trauma informed body modification, and proper sterilization and sanitation procedures; and various other in-person classes, webinars, and discussions offered by fellow professional piercers.

When she isn't piercing, Ashley loves playing with her cat, exploring the natural wonders of North Florida and beyond with her partner, and going to independent wrestling shows.

Marina (they/them) is a Tallahassee native. Like many, as a small child they had first lobe piercings done at a mall kiosk. Unfortunately, bad aftercare instructions and poor quality jewelry resulted in years of discomfort and irritation for the piercings. As a teen, Marina received second lobe piercings by Bink at his very first studio location, and life was forever changed. After high school, Marina became a Body Piercing by Bink regular, getting pierced frequently.

In 2008, Marina was leaving a career as an elementary school teacher and was offered an apprenticeship with Bink. Their responsibilities quickly grew; soon they were managing the studio. Marina became a Business Member of the Association of Professional Piercers in 2009. They started volunteering at the APP Conference & Exposition and soon started volunteering for the organization year-round.

​In 2014, Marina was ready for another change and moved to the mountains of Montana for a summer of hiking and National Parks. When they came back to Tallahassee, Marina worked in the corporate world for a few years, but it didn't feel quite right. In 2016, they officially returned to the piercing industry as the Membership Administrator for the Association of Professional Piercers and a traveling guest piercer. At the beginning of 2019, Marina was invited to rejoin the Body Piercing by Bink family and couldn't be happier to be back where it all started.
Gabrielle Inez - Apprentice Piercer & Counter Staff

Hayley (she/her) is a Tallahassee native who began piercing professionally in 2011. In the time since then, she’s worked to expand her piercing knowledge by connecting with other piercers and attending classes and workshops at the Association of Professional Piercers annual conference. Her favorite thing about body piercing is helping clients select piercings and jewelry that complement both their anatomy and personal style.

She took a couple years away from the studio to focus on other things and to further her knowledge. Hayley joined the Bink staff at the beginning of 2022, and we're so thrilled.

Hayley likes to spend her free time playing platformers, baking, watching horror movies, and visiting springs. She has a BS in Sociology.

Brooke (she/her) is a Tallahassee native. She's been a client at Bink's since age 12 and is so excited to be joining the team as counter staff. After having plenty of receptionist jobs over the years, she's stoked to be working in an industry she's passionate about.

Brooke is looking forward to learning more about gems, body jewelry, and the history of body piercing and other body modifications. As a child, she once saw a waitress whose ears were adorned with rings all the way down and has been captivated by piercings ever since. She loves to explore the reasons people feel drawn to body modifications, and is always down to swap 'origin stories' with clients.

She is a senior at FSU pursuing her Bachelor's degree in Psychology and graduates in Spring 2023. Brooke enjoys rollerskating, screen printing, and zine-making.

Cindy Louzado

Counter Staff

Originally from Miami, Cindy (she/her) has spent the last few years enjoying her time here in Tallahassee pursing her psychology degree and is now happy to call Tallahassee home.

Piercings and jewelry were always something Cindy was interested in and during her time in Tally, she got her daith pierced at our shop and loved the experience so much she knew she wanted to work here! She loves talking through jewelry options and making sure clients are as comfortable as can be.

On days off from the shop, Cindy can often be spotted with a bowl of soup in one hand and a matcha latte in the other! She enjoys indoor activities like playing video games and drawing whenever she gets the chance as well as spending time with the people she loves.
