Pierced to Perfection
Body art is serious business in 2026. Forget about tattoos for a moment (although we at FigMagazine do love some cool ink) and think about all the places you can get pierced—and all theincredible jewelry you can wear in those piercings.

Body art is serious business in 2026. Forget about tattoos for a moment (although we at Fig
Magazine do love some cool ink) and think about all the places you can get pierced—and all the
incredible jewelry you can wear in those piercings. From your nose and eyebrows to more ear
piercings than we can possibly name, to belly buttons and even more secret places, The Museum
of Living Arts (MOLA) Piercing Studio and Fine Jewelry is here to guide you.
Serving West Ashley for more than 20 years with the highest professional standards and
certifications, the team at MOLA takes great pride in the quality of their work. Their menu of
services is extensive. If you’ve dreamed it, they can probably pierce it—and they’ll help you find
the perfect jewelry to make it sparkle.
Because safety comes first, of course, MOLA uses only threadless or internally threaded jewelry
made from the highest-quality materials to help your new piercing heal safely and comfortably.
You can expect implant-grade titanium, niobium, gold, and quartz glass, with every initial
jewelry piece hand-polished to a mirror finish to promote healing. Better yet, their jewelry comes
backed by a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty.
When you’re ready to swap your starter jewelry for something a little more “you,” MOLA has
your back. Purchase your new nose ring, sparkling navel jewelry, or ear piece from MOLA, and
they’ll waive the service fee to install it. Have questions? Their experienced team of piercers and
jewelry specialists are happy to help every step of your self-expression journey.
And speaking of jewelry, MOLA carries the latest styles from trusted names like Body Vision
Los Angeles, Neometal, Modern Mood, Junipurr Jewelry, Mushroom, Norvoch, Industrial
Strength, People’s Jewelry, and many more. They also specialize in custom designs,
collaborating with brands like BVLA and Junipurr to create pieces tailored specifically to your
anatomy and personal style—whether it’s for a navel, curated ear, or even a custom wedding
band.
Whether you’re getting your very first piercing or adding one more to your collection, MOLA
combines artistry, craftsmanship, and safety to create an experience that’s as personal as the
jewelry itself. Because when it comes to body art, the right studio makes all the difference.
MOLA is here to help Charleston shine.
