Today we’d like to introduce you to Molly Bennett.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Molly. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Identity began as an idea to provide a more hands-on approach to body piercings and body adornment! We specialize in all types of jewelry- body jewelry, fine jewelry, precious metals, precious gemstones, and even accessories.
As of recent, we even expanded to making jewelry as well! The goal was to offer a service to help design one’s body piercings and accessories to define themselves further as an individual. We aim to provide the best service possible whether its merely buying a bracelet or starting an ear constellation project!
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
We are very fortunate to work in a community that has been an absolute dream come true! Our clients and neighbors make our job easy! Probably the biggest obstacle we’ve faced is opening up in a freezing Chicago winter a few years ago that was a record breaker for the cold temperatures.
Please tell us about Identity Body Piercing.
We specialize in making your jewelry dreams come true! We are always excited to work with clients on piecing together their body jewelry and accessory collections since we work with designers from all over the world. We can get almost anything made! It’s amazing to see clients ideas come to life.
We are proud to be able to carry such a large variety of jewelry- we carry anything from $15 to $15,000… our goal is that we can provide enough options on styling, gemstones, and materials that no one leaves disappointed. We are a unique boutique in the fact that we have a very small staff, but we all love our work so much that we take our time with each individual to make sure we are providing the best possible customer service.
When it comes to our body piercing services, we make sure our piercers stay up to date on new techniques and practices by attending the annual Association of Professional Piercers conference. The entire staff takes pride in the cleanliness of our studio to ensure the safest, most comfortable environment for our clients.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
In all honesty, we wouldn’t change a thing! We are so grateful to this day for every friend, family member, neighbor, and client that has brought us to where we are now. The turns and ups and downs on a journey are what makes you grow!
