Why choose Modified Soul?
Dave began piercing in 1997, working at the well known Piercology, in Columbus, Ohio. In the six years he was employed there, he performed over 50, 000 piercings, and became a member of the Association of Professional Piercers (APP). He also gained experience doing piercings part time at Evolved, also located in Columbus, Ohio. In fact, Dave is currently one of the most experienced and well-trained piercers in Columbus.
Dave opened his new shop, Modified Soul, in 2003. Though small in size, it was quickly regarded as a favorite amongst the people, being voted Best Piercing Parlor in Columbus by readers of Columbus Alive, in 2005. Modified Soul offers what every piercing parlor should offer: health department approval and licensing, CORRECT healthcare advice as suggested by the APP, weekly testing on sterilization equipment as required by law in Ohio, over 40 different piercings, and the best prices on internally threaded, high quality, implant grade body jewelry.
Daves philosophy on body modification can be reflected through his shop. Every piercing can be a part of a spiritual journey of self expression or custom, and Dave respects every cultures purpose for body modification, including our own. His shop, located at 3333 N. High Street, manifests essential and austere surroundings, both by design and Daves own demeanor, necessary for a sublime piercing experience.

PLEASE be weary if, every time you visit a studio they have a new staff and your favorite artist is gone. High turnover of artists can be a bad sign.
Buying body jewelry at the mall, is like buying shoes at a pet store!

FISHBITES

So, as a piercer. There are a few things I have grown to hate. 1. The miss pronouncing of Labret. 2. Calling stretched earlobes gauged. 3. And most of all snakebites. "Snakebites" is the generic term ...
