Meet The Addictions Crew
Mariah
Mariah was born ready to pierce. Her parents were convinced something was wrong with her until she scored a 4000 on an IQ test. Graduating from every prestige college in America at the age of 9, she went on to study anatomy and awarded 3 noble peace prizes. An unprecedented anomaly, her head was too big for her body for years. It wasn’t until she pierced her stuffed animals with such extreme precision that the top brain surgeons of the country enrolled her in programs the public has never even heard of. Tired of the schoolwork and being called mrs. bobblehead she ran away and applied at our shop nearly 4 years ago. Loved by her clients and a mother of 2 children, her head now being proportional, she continues to pursue perfection at her craft with an unrelenting passion.

Breanna started working at Addictions in 2017. In 2020 Breanna started her piercing apprenticeship and loves to educate herself on anything piercing related by reading about it, watching piercing videos or probing her mentors about it - you can learn something new everyday! In her free time, she enjoys hanging out with her 2 cats, crocheting and watching Jersey Shore - ideally all at once!

Onna
Onna began her journey with us 3 years ago after walking the entirety of the great wall of china barefoot, for the sole purpose of becoming a licensed piercer. she passed her test over 800 times with a 100% score, but never accepted it until she did it with 200%. as a child she ate too much dirt and through a freak mutation, can now smell any mineral from over 50ft away with a near perfect success rate. due to this, she has a remarkable collection of the finest agates and seaglass. when she is not busy piercing celebrities, billionaires, ghosts and aliens, she is longboarding through the himalayas or chilln with ember dog.
