Approach & Aesthetic
Otto enjoys thoughtful, personalized ear curations and jewelry styling. Their approach always starts with the client’s vision, whether they’re building a long-term curated look or adding a single, meaningful piece.
Personally, Otto loves the look of many piercings with minimalist jewelry or accenting a larger statement piece.
Inspired by the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, Otto gravitates toward moody, earthy tones and unique gemstones.
Some of their favorite materials include:
- Smoky quartz
- Moss agate
- Oregon sunstone
- Salt and pepper diamonds
What Otto Loves About Piercing
