:: SHOP PHILOSOPHY ::
We opened Infinite in February of 1995 with the intention of creating
Philadelphia's first shop devoted exclusively to piercing. Despite the
boom of new shops opening (and closing) over the past few years, we are
still the only venue with this dedication. We are constantly working to
keep ahead of changes in the industry, anticipating our customers' needs
in everything from safety to jewelry selection. We are currently the only
piercers in the area who are members of the Association of Professional
Piercers, a voluntary organization of piercers who have chosen to uphold
the highest standards of hygiene, education and ethics.
We currently have three piercers (2 men, 1 woman), and three counter people,
and a graphic designer. We all come to piercing from different backgrounds,
and feel that our diversity ensures every customers' interests can be
addressed.
While keeping abreast of the latest knowledge concerning cross-contamination
and piercing/healing techniques, we recognize that our industry grew out
of the rituals and customs of many traditional cultures. Body modification
often has a transformative psychological aspect, and can be a deeply moving
symbolic experience. It can draw us to a more acute awareness of our bodies,
how they react and regenerate, and the role of our minds and environments
in our healing. We are open to exploring these issues with those customers
who are interesed.
We seek to serve our extended community of queer folks, fetishists, womanists,
ritualists, freaks, and other body modification enthusiasts, and welcome
all respectful friends in our space.
