2020 Piercing Statistics

What a year. Before the pandemic began our Philadelphia studio was the busiest it has ever been. We had recently expanded our staff to five full-time piercers plus one part-time position, and were working toward opening a second location in Baltimore—Infinite’s first expansion in its entire 25-year history. Then COVID-19 happened and the whole world pressed pause. We had no idea what to expect with opening our new studio in Baltimore, and the pandemic added a whole new level of uncertainty for both of our locations, and for everyone. A lot has happened since this time last year, and as we try to make sense of everything we went back to crunch some numbers to see just how the pandemic has changed things for us over the past year. Looking back, here are Infinite Body Piercing’s 2020 piercing statistics.

A little bit about the timeline for 2020: Before everything came to a halt the Philadelphia studio was open for a total of 75 days, or about ten and a half weeks. On March 16, we made the decision to close our doors just hours before the City of Philadelphia ordered a closure of all non-essential businesses. The shutdown lasted 102 days, from March 16 until June 25. On June 26, we reopened our doors in Philadelphia, and just under one month later, on July 24, we were finally able to open our doors to clients for the very first time at our new studio in Baltimore. Following the shutdown, we were open for business in one or both locations for a total of 189 days, or 27 weeks.
