Studio: Shop-Crystal Moon Body Arts

My name is Annie Buechlein (pronounced: beak-line) , and I began piercing professionally in 1999.  Since my last name is so hard to pronounce, most people just call me Annie The Impaler. I own Crystal Moon Body Arts in Bloomington, Indiana, which I opened in 2021. My shop is a safe and inclusive space, focused on client comfort and wellbeing. I strive to build a sense of trust with my clients and it’s important to me to make a personal connection with them, as well as bringing in the spiritual and magical aspects of piercing’s ancient roots.     Throughout the years there have been so many changes in body piercing, and I am interested in always learning new methods, blending those with the “old skool” way that I was originally taught, to come up with the best techniques for serving my clients.   My favorite piercings to do are curating ears for the clients specific anatomy and helping them find what piercings would look best on them.    Junipurr jewelry is one of my top favorite companies and I am thrilled to be able to be a part of the Pro Team. I hope that I can learn many new things from the other members, as well as have a bigger platform to share my knowledge with others.    In my personal life I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two sons on our family farm, where we love to play in the woods and spend time in nature. We also have pet dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, and ducks. I’m an artist and I love doing digital art for shirts and stickers for my studio, photography and painting.  I’m into all the witchy things such as plants, animals, crystals, candles,magic and tarot. I’m a certified Reiki Master Teacher and a Registered Yoga teacher. My favorite colors are purple and green and gold. My favorite crystals are Amethyst and Labradorite. I’m a total horror movie nerd-I love vampires the most. My favorite movies are The ‘Burbs, The Lost Boys, Dracula, Beetlejuice and Hocus Pocus. My favorite TV show is Supernatural.
