Meet Amanda Punch

Hello! I’m Amanda, though most folks know me as Punch. I’ve spent most of my career piercing in my hometown in Southern Louisiana, and I’ve been working professionally in the industry for the past seven years.

My piercing community truly feels like family, and my dedication to this craft is fueled by the daily magic of helping people explore self-expression. I’m a big advocate for self-love and body confidence, and I strive to create a safe, welcoming space for people of all genders, bodies, and personalities.

Piercing can mark a transition into a new version of yourself, and I believe a friendly, compassionate bedside manner is essential to making that experience feel comfortable and empowering. Keeping my clients calm, informed, and supported is always my top priority.

I feel incredibly lucky to work in this industry. Seeing clients return with more confidence and excitement about expressing their personal style is one of the most fulfilling parts of what I do.

I’m an open book (and a big nerd!) and I love educating people about piercing—so please feel free to ask me anything.

When I’m not at the studio, you’ll probably find me spending time with my piercing and tattoo family, hiking with my pitbull Cleo (aka “the velvet seal”), or cooking Cajun food for the people I love.
