BodyMods Founders

OUR STORY

At BodyMods, we’re driven by a passion for body jewelry and a commitment to elevate our industry through acceptance, education, and exceptional quality. Since our founding in 2002, we’ve grown to become Canada’s leading destination for all things body jewelry, piercing, and tattoo-related.

Starting a body jewelry company in 2002 wasn’t easy. The industry was still new and carried a less-than-stellar reputation. Malls were concerned that we would attract the "wrong clientele" or claimed that no one in (whatever city we were trying to open a location in) had piercings. They couldn’t see our vision. Being in our early twenties didn’t help matters, but we knew the potential of this niche market and were determined to see it thrive. So, despite the challenges, we persisted—and eventually, Lougheed Mall said “Yes” to our first location!

Our Story

Our Commitment

We dedicate ourselves year-round to designing, manufacturing, and introducing innovative new jewelry lines, alongside a variety of industry-related products. For us, jewelry is not just an accessory—it’s our passion, and quality always comes first. From LVM-Grade surgical steel and Grade 23 titanium to semi-precious stones and Austrian crystals, we meticulously select only the highest-quality materials to ensure exceptional safety, durability, and style.

Our dedication to excellence ensures that each piece of BodyMods jewelry exemplifies our commitment to superior standards.

In the early days of our industry, we quickly saw a critical need for education about body jewelry. This commitment to education remains a cornerstone of our work. We created a detailed reference manual for our staff (basically, a giant book about anything you can think of relating to our industry) that covers everything from piercings and jewelry to healing times and aftercare. As we saw how much misinformation there was online, we decided to provide all the information we had learned and gathered over the years on our Modipedia page, offering accurate and accessible information to anyone, anytime.

Our staff training program is rigorous and comprehensive. We believe it’s essential that every BodyMods team member can address any question related to piercings or tattoos. We also developed a piercing apprenticeship program to teach best practices, health and safety, and client care based on our extensive experience. In our ongoing effort to elevate the industry, we offer paid apprenticeships for our dedicated staff.

At BodyMods, we focus on education because we know it’s crucial for ensuring informed choices and exceptional experiences for everyone we serve. It’s also how we foster a community of inclusivity and acceptance. We believe that everyone deserves to be treated with fairness and respect, no matter how they choose to express themselves—whether you have a bold, unique look or a subtle, contemporary style. Individuality matters, and we proudly stand behind the idea that everyone should feel empowered to look and be exactly who they are, without judgment.

BodyMods is still 100% Canadian owned and operated by its original founders, high school friends, Nathan & Sarah.
