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

Otto’s favorite piercings to perform are commemorative piercings tied to meaningful life moments.

Whether it’s celebrating a promotion or graduation, reclaiming personal autonomy, or expressing gender identity, Otto values being part of experiences that help clients feel more at home in their bodies.
