Tobias

Photograph of Tobias who is smiling while standing on a city street.

Tobias (they/them) has been piercing professionally since 2011, beginning their career right here in Virginia and spending their most recent years piercing on behalf of luxury jewelry brands in New York City. Over the years they have traveled widely to provide safe and beautiful body piercing to clients across the country, picking up fun stories and new techniques along the way.  Tobias is incredibly excited to now be back at Brilliance Piercing for good!

Tobias is deeply passionate about continuing their education in areas such as modern aftercare, trauma-informed body piercing and health and safety. Their warm and calming presence will make sure you understand every step of the process. Their goal with a client or a potential client is to offer an accessibly priced, safe body piercing service in a friendly and welcome environment that is accepting of all peoples, regardless of sex, gender identity, ethnicity, ability or sexual preference.

In their free time, they can usually be found playing with their adorable puppy, reading and exploring, binging the the newest Sci-Fi they can stream, searching for the best pizza spot, or relaxing in a Lush bath at home.
