About Us

---

A piercing is more than jewelry. It's a celebration, a milestone, an expression of identity, 

a confidence boost, or simply something you've wanted for years.

At Dv8 Piercing, we believe moments like these deserve exceptional care. That's why we've built our studio around one simple philosophy:

From your first consultation to the moment you leave wearing your new jewelry, 

every step of your experience is guided by professionalism, precision, artistry, and genuine respect for your individuality.

Our goal isn't simply to perform piercings—it's to create an experience you'll remember for all the right reasons.

Dv8 Piercing was founded to create the kind of piercing studio we always wished existed.

A place where clients never feel rushed. Where questions are encouraged, education is valued, 

and premium jewelry isn't considered an upgrade—it's simply the standard.

We've dedicated years to studying anatomy, healing, jewelry design, sterilization, and modern piercing 

techniques because we believe our clients deserve more than a quick appointment. They deserve expertise.

Whether you're receiving your very first earlobe piercing or planning an intricate curated ear featuring

 solid gold jewelry and genuine gemstones, our commitment remains the same:

To deliver exceptional work you'll be proud to wear for years to come.

Behind Dv8 Piercing are Rick and Jane Anders, whose careers have been dedicated to elevating

 the standards of professional body piercing and fine body jewelry.

Their passion extends well beyond the piercing room.

Together, they also own AuAdore, a luxury body jewelry company based in Roseville, California,

 where original jewelry is designed, manufactured, and finished with an uncompromising 

commitment to craftsmanship, premium materials, and meticulous attention to detail. 

To ensure these values were an integral part of the safety and quality, 

AuAdore is part of the Phase 2 Body Jewelry Verification Program.

This unique combination of experience allows them to approach every piercing from two perspectives:

As professional piercers.

As jewelry designers and manufacturers.

Understanding how jewelry is designed, cast, polished, finished, and worn provides

 a level of insight that directly benefits every client who sits in the piercing chair.

It's one of the many reasons Dv8 Piercing places such a strong emphasis

 on jewelry that is not only beautiful, but also functional, biocompatible, and designed for long-term comfort.

Not all body jewelry is created equal.

The quality of a piece is determined by countless details:

Material selection

Surface finish

Manufacturing precision

Thread tolerances

Gem setting

Polish and final finishing

Each of these factors influences comfort, healing, durability, and long-term wear.

That's why we carefully select jewelry crafted from implant-grade titanium,

 solid nickel-free gold, and other premium materials specifically intended for body piercing.

Beautiful jewelry should never require compromising safety.

Professional piercings deserve professional tools.

Every piercing at Dv8 Piercing is performed using sterile, single-use needles designed specifically for body piercing.

Unlike piercing guns, sterile needles create a clean opening in the tissue, provide greater precision,

 accommodate high-quality body jewelry, and support a healthier healing process.

It's one of the many ways we're committed to providing a safer, more comfortable, and more refined piercing experience.

Professional body piercing is constantly evolving.

New materials. Improved sterilization methods. Better jewelry manufacturing. Advances in anatomy and healing.

We believe continuing education isn't optional—it's a professional responsibility.

Our commitment to lifelong learning ensures every client benefits from current best practices,

 proven techniques, and the highest standards of care.

No two people are alike.

Every anatomy is unique, and every piercing should reflect that.

Rather than offering one-size-fits-all recommendations, we take the time to evaluate your anatomy,

 understand your goals, explain your options, and recommend placements that are both aesthetically beautiful and anatomically appropriate.

Sometimes the best recommendation is deciding not to perform a particular piercing because it isn't right for your anatomy.

Honest guidance will always come before making a sale.

Our relationship doesn't end when your appointment does.

Healing takes time, questions arise, and jewelry may eventually need to be downsized, upgraded, or changed.

We're here to support you throughout your entire healing journey with professional aftercare guidance,

 follow-up appointments, jewelry consultations, and ongoing education.

Your success is our success.

Located in the heart of Folsom, Dv8 Piercing proudly welcomes clients from throughout Northern California,

 including El Dorado Hills, Granite Bay, Orangevale, Fair Oaks, Rancho Cordova, Roseville, 

Sacramento, Cameron Park, Placerville, and beyond.

Many of our clients travel specifically for our reputation, premium jewelry selection, 

attention to detail, and commitment to exceptional client care.

We're honored every time someone chooses to make that journey.

Every decision we make begins with one question:

If the answer is yes, we do it.

If the answer is no, we don't.

That philosophy influences everything—from the jewelry we carry and the techniques we use

 to the way we educate,communicate, and care for every person who walks through our doors.

Because we believe exceptional piercing isn't defined by trends.It's defined by trust.

And trust is earned one client, one appointment, and one beautifully healed piercing at a time.

Where precision meets artistry, quality inspires confidence, and every piercing tells a story.
