Piercings, Pride, and Personal Power: Celebrate Your Way

identity body piercing pride month 2025

Pride is more than a month—it’s a movement, a celebration, and a declaration of identity. It’s about showing up as your full self, loudly and unapologetically. And for many in the LGBTQ+ community, body piercings have long been a powerful form of self-expression, resilience, and beauty. At Identity Body Piercing, we believe that every piercing tells a story—and we’re honored to help people celebrate who they are, on their terms.​

Why Get Pierced for Pride?

Getting a new piercing during Pride season can be more than a bold aesthetic choice—it can be a deeply personal milestone. Whether you’re marking a moment in your journey, aligning your outside with your inside, or simply treating yourself because you deserve it, piercings can hold significance far beyond the sparkle.

Here’s what makes it special:

A Form of Queer Joy & Visibility: Adorning your body in ways that affirm your identity is an act of joy and resistance. From nostril rings to curated ears to bold septums—every choice is yours to make.

A Way to Reclaim Your Body: Piercing can be empowering. For many, it’s a reclamation of autonomy and a celebration of self-love.

A Symbol of Unity & Expression: Like Pride itself, piercings are vibrant, diverse, and entirely individual. What better time to showcase your unique style than alongside your community?

Popular Pride Month Piercings – While there’s no right or wrong way to celebrate, here are a few popular picks we see during Pride:

– Stacked Lobe & Curated Ears – Perfect for those who want to build a unique look over time.

– Nostril & Septum Piercings – A statement that balances boldness and tradition.

– Eyebrow, Bridge, or Lip Piercings – Great for those who lean edgy, alternative, or simply expressive.

– Conch, Daith & Helix Piercings – Beautiful placements for layering high-quality jewelry.

Smile with an added touch of sparkle ✨

– Tooth Gems – A sparkly, playful twist that screams “look at me in the best way.”
