JPT is one of the longest standing Piercing businesses in Southern California thanks to our wonderful clients and a name you've grown to know and trust.
We had quite a long run of 15 years in the Newhall location and relocated in the summer of 2009 due to the city's development of the downtown area. I also owned and operated JPT Laguna Beach from 1996-97, JPT Beaumont 2009-11, JPT Canyon Country (inside Eternal Art Tattoo) 2011 to 2017. In late 2017, JPT once again flows with the City of Santa Clarita's development plans as they acquire the Canyon Country property as part of a new community center.
Just Passing Thru's current shop location is proudly located in the heart of Santa Clarita Valley at the "Bouquet Junction" inside the Del Rio Center. The dynamic of this spacious 1,250 SF Piercing Studio has been a vision of mine for quite some time and I look forward to serving our awesome community here for years to come!

In early 1994 when I decided to pursue Body Piercing as a career I sought out the best education I could possibly find. I received my initial personal training from Steve Haworth in Phoenix, AZ. After my extended personal training with Steve, I returned from Arizona then immediately attended Fakir Musafar's week-long Body Piercing Intensive in San Francisco. With a headful of inspirational mechanics from Steve and a whirlwind of history and technique from Fakir and his legendary early staff of body modification pioneers, I ambitiously opened Just Passing Thru Body Piercing that Summer and have been a full-time Professional Piercer and owner/operator of JPT ever since.
The evolution of Just Passing Thru is built on the simple philosophy of "never stop learning" and only using the finest quality "everything".
The Jewelry selection is amazing and the cleanliness is unlike anything I have ever seen in a piercing studio.
I feel like I have found my piercing place and will definitely be coming back for any future piercings I decide to get! The customer service and cleanliness was so great and that's what really made my experience all the better!
Had my helix and navel done here and I absolutely love them! The selection of jewelry is amazing and the piercings are quick! The place is very sanitary and John is very friendly. I will definitely come here again to get a third piercing.
Fantastic adherence to COVID-19 health and safety practices.
Great customer service and very gentle hands. Takes his time and has years experience under his belt.... great place ….
Great service, straight to the point, clean, all tools are sterile, but the process takes about 15 mins, it was quick and easy with almost no pain.
I took my thirteen year old daughter here to get her ears pierced after having horrible experiences with mall piercing stores. This was the greatest experience and the owners are lovely.
John is always so friendly and helpful! I don't live in Santa Clarita but drive down for all my piercing and jewelry needs. Won't go anywhere else!
John was super polite, friendly, and professional. He took the time to answer all of our questions and never made us feel rushed. His store is super clean and nice with a relaxing atmosphere to it. Highly recommend him! Thank you!

John is the ultimate professional. He answered any questions and concerns with respect and honesty, no BS or up-selling or hard-sell of merchandise. He treats his clients with respect and dignity. A pleasure to give him our business.
John is always so courteous and patient. He knows about all the jewelry and gives great feedback. I've been going to him for 20 years and now I have my kids and their friends go to him too.
We are very pleased with this establishment because of their attentiveness and how comfortable they made us feel, not to mention their high level of sanitary practices.
