About

101 Piercing in Encinitas's Leucadia district is a Body Vision Los Angeles Exclusive Store and Industrial Strength Exclusive retailer carrying California-manufactured implant-grade titanium and solid-gold body jewelry. The shop opened in 2015 after its lead piercer completed an apprenticeship in 2005 and attended the APP piercing-safety conference in 2014, building a single-use sterile-needle practice that occupies a different body-modification lane than the tattoo artistry at El Camino Tattoo on the Encinitas body-art corridor. All piercings are performed in a private room using single-use pre-sterilized needles rather than spring-loaded gun mechanisms, and the studio follows California Department of Health identification requirements for both adult and minor clients. The retail lobby showcases hundreds of BVLA and Industrial Strength designs in solid gold, rose gold, and ASTM F136 titanium, creating a jewelry-showroom experience that extends the personal-style focus found at Stainless Salon on Coast Highway 101. Designated an LGBTQ+ safe space, the studio's CPR-certified and bloodborne-pathogen-trained staff perform dermal-anchor, septum, daith, and industrial-scaffold piercings using internally-threaded ASTM F136 titanium posts with mirror-polished insertion tapers.
