Mina Fasula: Forging Her Own Path in the World of Curated Piercings

Mina Fasula by Orlando Pelagio 

From Apprentice to Artist

by Kaden Elliot

Mina began her journey in the piercing world under the mentorship of Marilyn, whose passion for integrating luxury jewelry into body modification left an indelible mark. Marilyn’s dedication to precision, creativity, and client empowerment became the foundation of Mina's early training.

“Mina came into the studio with such a natural curiosity and fantastic work ethic” says Marilyn. “She absorbed everything about technique, safety, and the artistry behind piercing, but I always knew she’d carve out her own path."

Now a body piercer in her own right, Mina is taking the lessons she learned from her mentor and crafting something truly her own. Her approach to piercing is not just about creating beautiful designs—it’s about understanding the client’s personal style and curating jewelry that enhances their individual expression.

A Fresh Perspective on Curated Piercings

While Mina has inherited Marilyn’s meticulous eye for detail and her dedication to high-end jewelry, she brings a fresh perspective to curated ear designs. Her work is characterized by a delicate balance of minimalism and boldness, often incorporating unexpected pairings of gold, diamonds, and intricate shapes to create compositions that feel both timeless and modern.

Clients are drawn to Mina for her ability to not only listen to their desires but also push the boundaries of what they envision. She collaborates with each person to craft custom combinations that resonate with their personality, often curating jewelry in a way that turns the ear into a canvas of self-expression.

Working Alongside Marilyn at Paloma Piercing

Although Mina is building her own identity within the industry, her bond with Marilyn remains strong. The two piercers work side by side at Paloma Piercing, where their complementary styles offer clients a diverse range of options. While Marilyn is known for her elegant and luxurious bridal-inspired piercings, Mina’s work offers a more playful, avant-garde twist on curated ears.

“It’s amazing to watch Mina evolve,” says Marilyn. “She’s taken everything I’ve taught her, added her own creative touch, and now she’s someone clients specifically come to for her unique style.”

Looking to the Future

As Mina’s reputation grows, she is quickly becoming a sought-after name for anyone seeking curated ear designs that go beyond the ordinary. With her roots firmly planted in the lessons she learned from Marilyn, Mina is pushing forward to create new trends, helping clients define themselves with jewelry that’s as bold and unique as they are.

At Paloma Piercing, Mina Fasula is not just a piercer—she’s an artist with a vision, and she’s only just getting started.
