ABOUT STEPHANIE
Stephanie XO is the brilliant dance of shadow and light. Each piece, in collaboration with the wearer, has layers, tells stories. The interpretation is evident in the details and the placement on the body. Beauty deliberately derived from the negative space, provoking a daring elegance.
Dedicating her life to and holding sacred the art of body piercing, Stephanie emerged into the jewelry world with the aim to achieve excellence while upholding the integrity of her industry. Her desire was fueled beautifully by integrating her creative passion of fine jewelry and her life in the tattoo and piercing industry.
Emerging into the body piercing industry from rural southern Iowa and desiring more, Stephanie made her way to Los Angeles. In LA she found sunshine, an evolving list of notable clientele and a management piercing position at a prestigious studio on Sunset Blvd.
Even then, she wasn't satisfied.
Royal Heritage Tattoo & Piercing was born in January 2016. Owning and operating her own studio would be a pinnacle for most; however, she continued evolving. As a self-taught jeweler, she began creating one-off custom designs for her clients; all handmade at her workbench in a tiny studio apartment. Demand increased and “Stephanie XO” came to fruition.
Fueled by a keen eye for design, Stephanie has created a fine jewelry line that is safe for piercing. Combining safe piercing practices and 18k gold jewelry has proven to be the niche Stephanie was born to fulfill. Proudly created, curated and crafted in Los Angeles, these pieces are an expression of her devotion to her profession; to be worn with grace to fiercely empower all.
