I love piercing daiths and nipples. 🙂
What do you love most about HH&H and what do you think sets HH&H apart from the other shops in the valley?

I love that we have filled the gap in this valley by being knowledgeable AND kind! Most shops are only one or the other.

What would you like to share about your family, pets, and hobbies?

I have an almost 17yo, a 6yo, two dogs, a bunch of chickens and rabbits, and two goats. I love the warmer weather! You’ll catch me out on the lake paddleboarding with my kids and dogs. I also love gathering with my friends and family with good food and laughs. I’ve also started tattooing and that’s been a trip. I didn’t think I’d be any good at it!

I only had my lobe’s pierced. 🤣
How many piercings do you have now?
12 now. I wish my cartilage didn’t hate me. I would love to get more piercings on my ears.
Which piercings are your favorite to do, or which are you most excited to learn?
I feel like I have a very creative eye for giving customers unique piercings to fit them personally. Looking at someone’s ear and picking piercings and locations with to compliment their anatomy is a fun experience for me as a piercer, and the back and forth creative communication with whom ever I’m piercing is fun for all. I really like piercing rooks, daiths, dermals, but there really isn’t a piercing I don’t enjoy doing!
What do you love most about HH&H and what do you think sets HH&H apart from the other shops in the valley?

My favorite part of this job is being able to give customers exactly what they are looking for, while simultaneously being apart of our amazing team makes the experiences a blast for everyone in the shop. I got ONE piercing at HHH and I knew I wanted to be a part of the team. After one meeting with Sarah, I knew this was where I was going to be, and I have been here ever since. The environment that has been cultivated at HHH is a welcoming, family friendly shop. The piercers are here to help through the whole process. From the piercings, through the healing process, and assisting in picking out jewelry and jewelry changes. We assist our customers in any way we can, whether they have appointments or just walk-in off the street. We got you!

What would you like to share about your family, pets, and hobbies?

I enjoy wood working and building things. I also am loving apprenticing as a tattoo artist. I am married to my beautiful wife and we have three children, one dog, and a few too many cats. I’m a busy dad and love playing with my kiddos. In some free time I like playing games whether it be board games or pc gaming.

I love the Daith, because it helps people, and the industrial, because it’s fun to do and looks cool.
What do you love most about HH&H and what do you think sets HH&H apart from the other shops in the valley?

The vibe, staff cleanliness, fun, care, selection, and quality at HH&H, are just a few of the things that set us apart from other shops.

What would you like to share about your family, pets, and hobbies?

I’ve got 6 kids, and when I find the time and energy, I love to sing and create music.

Picking my favorite piercing is very difficult. I enjoy every single piercing but daiths have to top everything. I love being able to help those who have migraines, fibromyalgia, vertigo, etc. Piercing nipples and VCH’s are definitely a close second.
What do you love most about HH&H and what do you think sets HH&H apart from the other shops in the valley?

One of the greatest things about working for HH&H is our team. I truly feel like when life is chaotic I can always leave it at the door and enjoy time with my work-family. I also can’t get enough of our clients! I’ve made a surplus of friends and love when they come back to see me! Something that sets us apart from other shops in the valley is honestly the fact that we take our time and build our own relationships with clients. We hear them! We also don’t jump into anatomy-specific piercings without being fully educated and knowing what we can & cannot do. We also take extensive training precautions and build ourselves up to the harder piercings.

What would you like to share about your family, pets, and hobbies?

My husband and I bought acreage in 2019 to get out of town. We raise most of our meat, raise goats, and have many MANY animals. I have two beautiful children and an amazing husband along with my best friend, Lady May. (She’s my dog) I love fly fishing, hunting, riding my motorcycle, gardening, hiking, canning, camping, and just enjoying what God has blessed us with on this beautiful Earth!

I have so many favorites! But the one that I like to do the most would have to be the forward helix.
What do you love most about HH&H and what do you think sets HH&H apart from the other shops in the valley?
I love the atmosphere that Hippie Hoops and Holes embodies. We strive to be a really well rounded shop, with our sanitation, communication to our customers, and overall love to pierce people.
What would you like to share about your family, pets, and hobbies?

I work a lot, so any free time to myself interests me a lot. I love to paint and do anything art related. I was a part of tattooing from an early age that’s the premise of my footing in the industry. My father and mother are both tattoo artists, and I thought it would be awesome to follow in their footsteps. I’ve been tattooing for 5 years and recently became a piercer. I love it. I currently don’t have any pets, but you never know.

I just started learning dermals and surface bars and I LOVE them!! They look so cool and I’m really excited to continue to learning and growing as a piercer 🙂
What do you love most about HH&H and what do you think sets HH&H apart from the other shops in the valley?

I love that we are very thorough about our aftercare and I often hear people say how we are very nice and welcoming and I wish more shops had that helpful, kind atmosphere.

What would you like to share about your family, pets, and hobbies?

I love live music and the outdoors (when it’s not terrible Idaho weather lol) I also enjoy spending time with my friends and family! I have a dog named Sadie and a bunny named Cookies and they’re both the sweetest fur babies I could ask for!!

Nostrils are my favorite, but I’m most excited to learn industrials!
What do you love most about HH&H and what do you think sets HH&H apart from the other shops in the valley?

Same answer, it’s a welcoming environment, attention to competency in training builds confidence and that’s readable by the clientele.

What would you like to share about your family, pets, and hobbies?

I am lame I guess.. Just raising my youngest alone, have two grown and three grands. Like live music, and riding my motorcycle. 🤷🏼‍♂️

None, but got stabbed in the foot in a farming accident once. 😀
Which piercings are your favorite to do, or which are you most excited to learn?
I am excited to learn any piercing. I love learning anything that I don’t already know. I want to live tomorrow having more knowledge or wisdom than I did yesterday or today. However, I’m support staff here, and will likely just stay on top of online orders and back end stuff.
What do you love most about HH&H and what do you think sets HH&H apart from the other shops in the valley?

I love that I get paid to laugh. The crew in this shop didn’t hire me, they adopted me. This team is the most knowledgeable, and light hearted bunch to work with. They keep it fun, but at no sacrifice to professionalism and integrity.
I think the cheerful ambiance, positivity, and cleanliness sets us aside from all those other shops that feel like a dirty chop shop.

What would you like to share about your family, pets, and hobbies?

Dad, mom and 3 kids, whole lot of pets and a whole lot of laughs. We’re into anything from hiking to camping to skating all the way to board games and cooking. Tacos tacos tacos…. we like tacos.

I’m SO excited to learn nipples, tongues, and septums!
What do you love most about HH&H and what do you think sets HH&H apart from the other shops in the valley?

My favorite thing is definitely the atmosphere and all of my coworkers! We all love joking with each other and I love being able to do that while working at the same time! What sets us apart from other shops is that we are have a lot more employees than most places and we also make sure the piercings that we are doing are even and in the right place so the customers leave with piercings that they love!

What would you like to share about your family, pets, and hobbies?

My mom is my best friend, I love her so much and she is literally my life. I have an adorable dog (carin terroir/chihuahua) named Bella and she is so adorable. In my free time I love to watch youtube and play video games.

HH&H is like having a family and friends in one, you learn so much and everyone is so funny and helpful, it’s a great and fun learning environment that has the most kind/understanding owner I’ve ever known.

I’m a twin mama to a boy and a girl, I love riding horses and taking my kids out and spending time with my husband. We love all creatures and would love to make more friends in the area!
