Danni is our lovely resident white gold enthusiast, and the jewelry specialist most often in our West Ashley location! They’ve been a loyal client and long-time-lover of statement jewelry; we’re very happy to have them assisting clients with their exceptional taste. Danni is looking forward to piercing in the future as they continue to study APP compliant knowledge and the history of the queer community as it relates to piercing.
They also make a mean cup of coffee and have a deep-seated love of all reptilian things!

Grace (GG) Gloom
Piercer
She / They
Grace came to us from the foothills of Tennessee, blowing in like a blessing that just never left. The stars aligned to bring us this spooky, special human with 7 years of piercing experience and a soul full of Southern Pride.
Originally from Eastern Texas, GG is a supporter of the arts, with a love of live music and extensive collection of vinyl records. A taste for vintage horror and the more haunting sides of history are just some of the things that define this "Y'allternative" member of our team!
M
Downtown Studio Manager
Jewelry Specialist
APP Member
Social Media Specialist
Meet M, our jewelry specialist at the Downtown location! M got her start in a studio in northern New Jersey where she discovered a passion for gemstones and body jewelry before joining our team here at MOLA. Her curations are informed by her years of studying art and design, and her favorite thing about her job is styling pieces that showcase the unique personalities that come through our doors.
When she’s not at work (and sometimes when she is), you can find her eyeing up the next piece of jewelry to add to her hoard, creating new artwork, or she loves being in a pile of soft and fuzzy comforts amid her many cats.
