Lori St.Leone
Shop proprietor Lori St.Leone started her piercing career in 1995 in her hometown of Anchorage, Alaska, and has been working at Vogue since 2001. She loved the shop so much that she bought it from the previous owner in July of 2004! Lori is extensively experienced in all aspects of body piercing (everything from lobes and eyebrows to genital projects), and she also offers services such as scarification, punch and taper method surface piercing, large gauge dermal and cartilage punching, lobe scalpelling, genital beading and new techniques such as dermal anchors.
Lori has also worked at shops in Alaska, Oregon, and has had guest artist spots in several well-known Australian studios, including Puncture Body Piercing on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland.
After almost sixteen years in the industry, Lori has retired from business ownership and professional body modification in order to pursue other professional interests, as well as to commit more time to motherhood. That being said, she's still happy to let you pick her brain on our Facebook page. ;)
If you're interested in learning more, Lori is a staff member on BMEZINE.com's popular AskBME forum. Feel free to ask her a question there if you can't make it into the shop!
Dimruthien VerenLaulaja
Dimmie started at Vogue in September of 2008 as one of our counter staff members, and trained as a body modification artist the old-fashioned (and best!) way, as a full-time apprentice under Lori and Sana. She has a keen personal interest in body modification, and is highly educated in the standards of practice for the body modification industry.
Dimmie has rightly earned an excellent reputation on her own for her top-quality work, and has developed quite a devoted following of clientele. Dimmie's enthusiam and passion for body modification has stood her in good stead during her training, and her commitment to the perfect outcome of every procedure she undertakes ensures the satisfaction of all of her customers.
Since Vogue's closure in December 2010, Dimmie has gone on to open her own piercing studio, Persephone Body Piercing, in our old location. Vogue is referring all of our customers to her, as she is now the only studio in the NT adhering to the Australian Sterilization Standard and also to the APP's standards for professional body piercing. She's awesome, and she'll look after you really well. :)
Sana Stanton
Sana Stanton began working at Vogue in September of 2006 as a counter staff member, and began her formal apprenticeship in late 2007. She helps our customers over the phone and in person, and is involved with all of the every day tasks involved with running the shop. Sana's personal interest in body modification has helped her develop as a piercer, and she has a great reputation for her high-quality work. We're proud to say she was trained here at Vogue!
