And she feels immense gratitude for the pioneers who have paved the way, allowing her to pursue her craft with confidence and skill.

River City Tattoo & Piercing Co. was established in 2002 by master piercer Jessica Simmons and has always been on the forefront of the industry in standards of quality and cleanliness. Simmons was appointed by the Governor of Virginia to the Board for Barber’s and Cosmetology as the state representative for the tattooing and body piercing industry, and now serves as an instructor for the Red Cross. In addition to overseeing the RCT Body Piercing Apprenticeship Program and Children’s Piercing Team, Jessica still pierces four days a week at our flagship Blvd location, serves on the board at Culture Works and is expanding her line of all natural piercing aftercare products.
