The Art of Piercing Elevated: Apollo Studio brings BVLA Gold to Santa Monica

BVLA 14k gold body jewelry now exclusively available at Apollo Tattoo & Piercing Studio in Santa Monica.

Not all piercings are created equal—and not all jewelry tells your story. At Apollo Tattoo & Piercing Studio, we’re redefining what it means to get pierced. This summer, our Santa Monica studio expands its curated collection with an exclusive new chapter: a partnership with BVLA, the gold standard in luxury body jewelry.

If you’ve ever felt like typical jewelry didn’t quite match your energy, this might be the moment you’ve been waiting for.

Why This Matters: When Piercing Becomes Personal, Not Procedural

Piercing at Apollo has never been about trends or templates. It’s about intention, design, and deep personal expression. That’s why bringing BVLA’s luxury body jewelry line into our studio isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a transformation.

BVLA (Body Vision Los Angeles) is known worldwide for its handcrafted 14k and 18k gold pieces, ethically sourced gemstones, and modular designs that turn jewelry into wearable art. Now, we’re proud to say that Apollo is the only piercing studio in Santa Monica—and one of the few in the broader Los Angeles region—with full access to the entire BVLA catalog.

That means:

  • Access to hundreds of solid gold styles, from opal cabochons to rare marquise clusters
  • Personal styling guidance from our experienced piercers
  • A serene, luxe studio space built around your comfort

“We’re not just doing piercings—we’re helping people feel seen, confident, and beautiful,” said Blue Mason, founder of Apollo Studio. “This jewelry allows us to match that level of care with unmatched craftsmanship.”

Curated Constellation Piercings: Jewelry Meets Design Philosophy

Body piercings are moving beyond single studs. More and more, clients are curating constellation setups—intentional, multi-piece compositions that bring flow and harmony to the ear, nose, or navel.

At Apollo, that’s where we shine.

We now offer:

  • Constellation curation: Our piercers guide you through the design of a multi-jewelry layout tailored to your anatomy.
  • Digital previews: Get a visual map of your new piercing plan before anything is marked.
  • Personalized jewelry consults: Whether you’re adding to an existing setup or starting fresh, we help you select pieces with both style and story.

Curious where to start? Many of our clients begin their journey in our ear piercing shop in LA or explore bold expressions through nose piercings and lip piercings. Looking for something off the beaten path? Our eyebrow piercings, dermal placements, and tongue piercings all get the same thoughtful treatment.

“Every client is different. Our job is to collaborate until we find that perfect piece—something that isn’t just pretty, but personal,” said Bunny, Lead Piercer at Apollo. “Now, I walk clients through gemstone provenance and craftsmanship—so the piece they choose isn’t just beautiful, it’s meaningful too.

Behind The Scenes: BVLA Factory Tour + APP training

This partnership isn’t just about stocking high-end jewelry. It’s about expertise.

Both Blue and Bunny recently completed advanced training at the 2025 APP (Association of Professional Piercers) Conference—one of the industry’s top credentials for safety and skill.

Bunny also toured the BVLA factory, seeing firsthand the precision and ethics behind every gemstone and gold setting we carry.

This isn’t mass-produced bling. This is craftsmanship that respects the body it adorns—whether it’s a navel piercing or a child’s first lobe piercing at our kids ear piercing studio in LA.
