You all know her as the piercer—the tattoo shop baddie behind @kandy_shop .
But to me, she’s JoJo. ❤️
She creative directed one of my very first photoshoots.
She used to do my hair all the time.
Somewhere along the way, she became a big sister —always encouraging me, always celebrating me.
She put me in rooms I didn’t even know existed yet.
A lot of modeling industry relationships came from my relationship with her.
From silk presses to traveling—we’ve lived real life together.
And now? God brought it full circle.
I got to creative direct a shoot celebrating her—her work, her impact, her presence in an industry she’s taken over with grace.
That intoxicating smile you see when you walk into the shop?
That laugh? That energy?
That’s really her—making people feel seen, comfortable, and confident in who they are.
That’s beauty on the inside & out 🌺
She shows up fully. No filter. No holding back.
That’s real confidence.
That’s why she’s unstoppable.
And that’s why she’s someone I’m proud to call my friend.
Thank you @iam___jonique —for being part of this project, and for being exactly who you are. ❤️

SHE IS ARLINGTON: Meet @iam___jonique , celebrity body piercer and heiress to the black-owned, award-winning tattoo parlor @kandy_shop in Arlington, Texas.
Jonique spent years as the shop’s marketing manager before her father and owner @ogpoppy pushed her to pick up the needle. She taught herself through online courses and webinars, studying the European approach to piercing, an anatomy-based methodology more precise than the standard American free-hand technique.
She didn’t build her nearly 1 million-follower platform by just posting piercing content. She built it with her larger-than-life, authentic personality. The craft is what backs it up. Over a decade in the game with more than one million individual piercings done and she still treats every client like they are her first.
Da Kandy Shop itself is a 20-year-old cornerstone of the DFW minority business community, widely credited with shaping the landscape of minority-owned tattoo shops across the metroplex.
Jonique is an example of what happens when personality meets precision. SHE is Arlington ❤️
