Good Form Piercing & Tattoos is looking for a Piercer to join our team!

About Us

Good Form is a queer and woman-owned studio, located in central Nanaimo, on beautiful Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.

While Good Form may be just under three years old, the business has been around for well over a decade under different ownership, and a different name. The studio underwent a large renovation to reflect the new ownership, and is now equipped with separate entrances and lobbies for our piercing and tattooing sides, allowing for a smooth, tailored experience for all of our clients. We operate on an appointment only basis, though we can accept walk-ins if time permits. With reception staff available each day, our small team is able to offer a relaxing, pleasant experience with our clients for any services or sales. We have two piercing rooms, each with their own Statim, and are individually stocked with supplies. Good Form is equipped with a separate bioroom room that includes a Bravo autoclave and a staff only kitchen that connects the two sides.

Our lobby is bright and open, with multiple jewelry displays for our diverse and robust assortment of inventory. As the sister company to Alchemy Adornment, we carry a large selection of gold jewellery, with nearly every design they offer, including sneak peeks at new designs. For other brands, we stock Anatometal and Neometal as our main suppliers, as well as Quetzalli, Buddha, and regularly pick up other brands as we see fit, or at conference to expand our selection.
