I started Body Piercing in 1989 on ocean blvd in MB. I was doing up to 50 piercings a day and the $$$ was good. I began manufactuing body jewelry in 1992, I opened Steel Roots Custom Jewelry, I opened Elite Body Piercing in 2003 when MB lifted there Piercing Ban, we were the 1st in MB. Tattooing was still illegal in SC so we couldn’t do tattoos yet, but we were ready. I have traveled the country going to tattoo and piercing studios guest spotting for years. Elite Tattoos opened in 2006 and were the 2nd in the state to open. Business has been great and we are expanding. I am a tattoo artist-owner who grew up in MB, so if you want locals to work with you, come see the gang at Elite!
