Meet Our Artists
Fiona Luddy
Founder, Piercer
Favorite styles: 14k+ Solid Gold, ASTM F136/1295 compliant implant grade titanium, inventive piercings
Fiona (she/her) is the Owner and only Piercer at Resilience Body Arts. She began her piercing journey as an apprentice in 2018 at a small shop in Boston where she soon became the head of the piercing program and sole piercer after the departure of her piercing mentor. Fiona since has been able to guest spot across the country from New Jersey, to Nashville, and even Las Vegas expanding her client base and learning from fellow piercers. She values education and safety above all else in piercing, while being equally as obsessed with all the glitters and gold of fine body jewelry, she understands that nothing else matters comparatively to safety both physically and mentally. She strives to provide a sterile body art environment that also functions as a welcoming shop, safe for all members of society and filled with the information one needs to make informed decisions when altering their body. This is the intent behind Resilience Body Arts and her practice as a piercer, playing with gold and gems is an added benefit.
Leo Gielow
Tattoo Artist
Favorite Style(s): Illustrative, Traditional, Portraiture, Large scale, Colorful projects
Leo (they/them) is a tattooer at Resilience Body Arts. After meeting Fiona through the industry, they were asked to come onto the team as a resident tattoo artist! They began as an apprentice in 2022 after graduating with a degree in Illustration from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. They have since become a licensed full time tattooer. With a love for tattooing being a core value of who theirs, they strive to make tattooing accessible, easy, and fun! As a working queer artist, they strive to create a space where comfort and consent for all who walk through the door are the top priorities. Their work mainly consists of colorful renditions of anything under the sun; from video game characters to portraits of beloved pets and everything in between! Though their focus is in color work, they are more than willing and able to take on most stylistic projects brought to them.
