Chris shipman
SENIOR PIERCER AND MANAGER
Senior Professional Body Piercer & Studio Manager, Visions Tattoo, Piercing & Art Gallery
Howdy! My name is Chris (or Christopher — whichever you prefer), and my pronouns are he/him. I’m originally from the great state of Texas and have been a Professional Body Piercer for over 16 years.
Piercing isn’t just a job for me — it’s my passion and my life. I love making real connections with people and helping clients feel more comfortable in their own skin by bringing their aesthetic goals to life. Whether the idea is yours or mine, I’ll work with you to make it happen — as long as it’s safe, consensual, and shiny, I’m happy. (And if you ask me, bigger and thicker piercings are always cooler.)
As the Senior Piercer and Studio Manager at Visions Tattoo, Piercing & Art Gallery in Medway, Massachusetts, I’m proud to help uphold the studio’s high standards for health, safety, and client experience.
I’m also a proud Associate Member in Good Standing with the Association of Professional Piercers (APP) since 2023, dedicated to continuing education and best practices.
Outside of the studio, I’m a proud father of two amazing kids.
My favorite color is green, I love heavy metal music, Star Wars, yellow gold jewelry, and plants.
I’m always on the lookout for new fandoms or plant recommendations — so feel free to teach me something new!
