Pat Riot Piercing

Pat Riot Piercing is a body piercing studio run by Pat Riot, a master piercer who began working in the field over a decade ago and opened the studio in 2013. The work covers ear piercings from classic lobes to cartilage, facial piercings such as septums and nostrils, and navel, nipple and surface piercings. The studio uses only implant-grade titanium and solid 18k yellow gold, rose gold and platinum jewelry, and it does not do tattoos.

Walk-ins are welcome during open hours, and appointments can be booked by phone. Pat is known for his patience with nervous first-timers, and surface piercings require a consultation first. Gift certificates are available by contacting the studio. The studio is in the Marketplace at Steamtown in historic downtown Scranton and keeps a curated selection of Anatometal jewelry on display.
