Our Piercers
Elise
I use she/her pronouns. I graduated from Hamline University in 2020 with a degree in Legal Studies and Women’s Studies.
I began my training in 2017, then pierced full time for two years, and eventually took a mini hiatus to explore career paths after graduating. I have always been drawn back to the body art industry because it is such a beautiful, technical, and creative outlet.
I am very lucky to have joined the Electric Strawberry team where the good times roll and the learning never ends. I always look forward to providing folks with a safe space for self expression!
Jo
I use she/they/he pronouns. I began my career working for a high-volume studio and then moved on to studio management. A few years after an industry hiatus I decided to get back to the career I love: body piercing! We are happy to have this fun-loving cat mom on our team!
Jessy
I am the owner and founder of Electric Strawberry. I have been piercing since 2006. I strive to be the safest and most proficient piercer I can. I am an APP member and have studied at the Fakir Intensive in San Francisco where I help teach from time to time. I have mentored numerous piercers locally including my own staff. I attend piercing educational APP conferences, classes, and seminars regularly to always be on top of my game. I love helping people find a way to showcase their style and individuality.
Over my many years in the industry I have really fallen in love fine jewelry, and forever learning my craft. As the industry has boomed into the mainstream, a frenzy of poor quality, fast and cheap services have flooded the market. I feel this is stealing the soul of our industry. As they go bigger cheaper… I wanted to go smaller better. I want to create a boutique style studio that emphasizes the professionalism of our piercers, and the beauty of our jewelry all in a calm inclusive space where all are welcome. We are 5 years in an bigger and busier than ever! Thank you for supporting us<3
Taylor
Hey, I’m Taylor! I use she/they pronouns. I have been piercings since 2011 and began my career in a high volume shop. I stepped away from piercing for about 6 months in 2016, but quickly realized that my true career passion lies in the body modification industry. When I returned I began a new journey that has been filled with lots of learning and growth, which I strive to continue doing in becoming a member of the Electric strawberry team!
When I’m not piercing I am; a parent to a sweet, but rowdy toddler
Rem- Apprentice Piercer
My name is Rem and I've been in the piercing industry for about four years now wearing many hats! I moved to Saint Paul from northwest Ohio almost three years ago now to join the ESP crew. I'm so honored to be starting my piercing journey here and I look forward to working with the amazing clients we have--this time in the piercing room! I'm extremely detail-oriented and bringing that to piercing is something I find a lot of joy in. Booking under Jessy and Rem currently:)
