Professional Body Piercing in Gresham, Oregon
Experience matters in body piercing. At Multnomah Body Piercing in Gresham, you're not being pierced by someone who trained last month — you're being pierced by Chris Wheeler, continuing a 50-year family legacy started by his mother Sheryl Wheeler in 1975. This is Oregon's original professional piercing studio, now serving the Gresham community at 52 NE Division St.
The Wheeler Family Legacy
Multnomah Body Piercing was founded in 1975 by Sheryl Wheeler — making it one of the oldest professional piercing studios in the Pacific Northwest. Chris Wheeler grew up in the craft and carries on his mother's standards: precision placement, proper jewelry, clean technique. You don't build a 50-year reputation by cutting corners.
What Professional Piercing Means
Professional piercing means: sterile technique with single-use needles (never guns), implant-grade jewelry, proper anatomy assessment before any placement, and honest guidance about what will and won't heal well on your body. It means turning down a placement that won't work rather than taking your money for something that will cause problems.
All Piercings, All Placements
We perform every common and many advanced piercing placements: all ear piercings, nose piercings, septum, cartilage, body piercings, dermal anchors, surface piercings, and oral piercings. Complex anatomy? We've seen it. We'll work with you to find the best approach.
