Yakima's Body Piercing Studio, Twenty-Four Years On.
Since 2001, master piercer Hilda Ochoa and the Maximus team have pierced the Yakima Valley with a steady hand and an honest word. Careful placement, quality jewelry, and an experience people drive across town for.
Two Decades of Steady Hands on West Spruce.
I'm Hilda, and I've been piercing in Yakima since 2001. Maximus Body Piercing Studio is the place I've poured twenty-four years of practice into, and it shows in how we work: we slow down, we map the piercing to your own anatomy, and we make sure you actually understand what you're getting before anything happens.
We keep things professional and we keep things honest. If a placement isn't right for your anatomy, we'll say so. If you're nervous, we'll walk you through it. People come back for their next one and bring their friends, and that word-of-mouth is the whole reason we're still here after all these years.
Piercings, Done Properly.
From a first set of lobes to the placement you've been planning for months, here's the work we do day in and day out. Not sure what suits you? That's exactly the conversation we're here for.
Ear & Cartilage
Lobes, helix and double helix, conch, forward helix and more. Every placement is mapped to your ear before any needle comes out.
Nose & Septum
Nostril and septum piercings done quick and clean, with jewelry that suits your face and your healing.
Eyebrow & Facial
Eyebrow, anti-eyebrow and other surface placements, set with an eye for symmetry and what your anatomy will actually hold.
Tongue & Oral
Tongue and oral piercings placed with care for comfort and a clean heal.
Stretching & Plugs
Lobe stretching, gauges and plugs, taken at a sensible pace so your ears come along for the ride.
Jewelry & Gift Cards
Quality jewelry on display to browse and swap into. Gift certificates are available for the piercing fan in your life.
Healed, Clean, and Wearing Well.

Yakima keeps coming back, and they keep telling their friends. Here's a little of what they say.
“This place is a gem! I contacted others around town and they spoke to me as if I was a child. Hilda was AMAZING. She is nice, informative and gets right to business. The guy at the front was cool and professional as well. Thank you guys for being in the Yakima valley and I will def be returning.”
“Fantastic work! She took the time to map it out and made sure I was satisfied. Also got my double helix done and I've never had a quicker cartilage piercing. Everything is healing up very nicely and the next time I'm looking for a piercing in Washington, I will be coming here.”
“Hilda did mine and it was quick and comfortable. She is very knowledgeable and friendly. Most comfortable piercing experience I've ever had. Really applaud their professionalism.”
“Excellent experience. He was super cool, very nice. I got my nose pierced, super fast and easy. Very much recommended!”

Absolutely. A lot of placements depend on your own anatomy, so we map it out with you first and talk you through what will sit well and heal well. If something isn't a good fit for your anatomy, we'll tell you straight rather than just sell you a piercing.
Yes. We keep quality jewelry on display so you can browse and pick something you love, whether it's your first piece or a swap into something new. Pop in and have a look.
