Our Story

Meet Mariah

Originally hailing from Minnesota and a proud Colorado resident for over 30 years, Mariah Ninefeldt-Ryan is a powerful, feminine force in all things business and life and the definition of a “mama bear”.

Mariah’s journey started in a tattoo shop almost a decade ago, where she found not just a skill, but a passion for helping people feel their best through body art. She then branched out in true entrepreneurial fashion and opened one of Northern Colorado’s most successful piercing studios.

Since 2023, Mariah has created a space where everyone — any age, any background, anyone — can feel welcome, comfortable, and confident. Her 100+ 5-star reviews on Google speak for themselves, and her genuine bond with her clients keeps them coming back for more.

When not busy running her business and connecting with clients, you can find Mariah spending time with her incredible husband, beautiful kids, and loving family.

She can’t wait to work with you!

It’s All in the Family

Here at Piercings by Mariah, you’re not just getting a service; you’re becoming part of our family’s story. Mariah’s sisters, Julia and Breanna, as well as her niece Angelina, own businesses in the same building, specializing in all things beauty — from skin care to permanent makeup to eyelash extensions (and of course, piercings and permanent jewelry!), while family friend Jessie is the master hairstylist of the group.

They’re all committed to offering expert care in a warm, safe environment, helping each client express themselves and feel more at home in their own skin.

Their journey is all about connection, artistry, and making sure you leave with a smile — so swing on by the studio, they’d love to see you! <3

“Mariah not only loves her work she also loves her clients!! She did double nostril piercing for my great niece and was so calm, kind and caring. I highly recommend her for your piercings.”
