Meet the owner

Hello! My name is Nadine Elliott (my pronouns are she/her) and I am the owner and body piercer here at Wildflower Body Piercing. You may recognize me from my 10+ years of working for Piercings by Tat2Pauly as a counter-person, assistant, and body piercer. I have accomplished numerous safety and body piercing training courses from Primal Instinct Body Piercing School and The Association of Professional Piercers. I am both Bloodborne Pathogens and First Aid/CPR certified. I continue my education constantly to ensure my clients get the best possible piercing, jewelry, and experience here at Wildflower. I am a North Country native with a BFA in Graphic Design from SUNY Potsdam.

When I’m not piercing I enjoy playing video games, listening to true crime, science, and comedy podcasts as well as fantasy, horror, and thriller audio-books, often while crocheting or baking.

About The Studio

Wildflower Body Piercing was established in 2023 and is located at 22 Depot Street in Potsdam New York inside of the Market Square building.

The building has ample accessible parking spaces and is within walking distance of both SUNY Potsdam and Clarkson University campuses.

The outside entryways are accessible for most folks, however the pull doors are quite heavy. If you need any physical assistance, feel free to send me an email before your appointment and I will happily help you.

There are public restrooms with accessible stalls and an ATM available in the building.

I use a UMF H-Brace exam table and a slip resistant step stool to assist clients with getting on and off the table. Both the table and stool have a weight capacity of 350 lbs. The exam table has an adjustable reclining backrest and foot rest that extends the table to 6 feet 8 inches in length which allows most clients to sit or lay comfortably for their piercing services. Most piercings are done while the client is laying down on the exam table. If you have any physical limitations that you think may affect your ability to get a piercing, feel free to send me an email and we can discuss your possible options.

There are doors to both the piercing room and lobby which can be closed to allow for more privacy during your appointment upon request.

Piercings and jewelry inserts are by appointment only, but all are welcome to browse the ever-growing selection of high-quality implant-grade titanium, niobium, and gold body jewelry during business hours, Tuesday-Saturday 12-6PM.

Wildflower Body Piercing is located in the center of the Market Square building, which is in the process of being renovated and revitalized. It is so exciting to see a once practically empty building being turned into a thriving community of businesses! However, because of the ongoing work being done, there are currently no exterior signs, and there are no exterior entryways directly into the studio, which can make it a bit tricky to find if you are not familiar with the building.

Most folks find the building just fine, but you have to enter the building through any of the three exterior doorways to get to Wildflower. I have made a video that shows three different ways to find the studio which I hope will help.

Please email me if you need more directions.
