Meet the Honeycomb Team

Here at Honeycomb, we strive to offer an accessible and safe piercing experience. We are a queer/trans owned and operated business who focus on consent, body autonomy, and education. We recognize that the body modification industry can be an intimidating space, and we hope that we can alleviate that stress by providing a welcoming experience. We are an A.P.P. Member’s (Association of Professional Piercers) studio in Tucson, and we continuously update our education as the industry progresses forward. We want to be as accessible to our disabled, neurodivergent, queer, trans, POC clients as we can be, and we are always open to suggestions on how we can do better. We appreciate feedback from our community as we want to grow alongside each and every one of you. Thank you to all who continue to come back in, and to those giving us your trust!
