Name:
Benjamin Overton

Title:
Co-Owner and General Manager

Experience:
I have been employed at High Priestess since early 2001, but have been around the studio since it’s inception in 1996. The majority of that time has been spent slaving away in our Administrative Offices. I did however, work for several years as a counter person. In my time employed here I have had the pleasure of assisting in the transition of High Priestess from a small one-shop operation to a successful business with nine locations.

About:
I am co-owner and operate as the General Manager for High Priestess’ six Oregon locations. You could argue that I am what every piercing and/or tattoo studio needs. I’m a borderline obsessive-compulsive organizer and always strive for perfection. Although I have no desire to be a body piercer, I have always felt very connected to the body piercing community. I enjoy the business end of things though. I’m content working with the numbers, contracts, advertisers, vendors, and paperwork all day long. I care deeply about our employees and their futures. Ideally I would like to see our studios provide all the amenities that larger corporations offer in their employee’s retirement plans. I believe that through the Association of Professional Piercers (APP) all of us within the piercing community have the ability to gain the legitimacy other industries enjoy, with all of the same security in our futures as well.

Schedule:
9 am - 5 pm Monday - Friday at our offices
