Nice to meet you!

I’m Eris Fong-Bances, the artist and technician behind Stone Butch Smiles! I am a neurodivergent & disabled transmasculine butch lesbian based in Chicago, IL, who specializes in tooth gem designs and applications.

I’ve always been super passionate about self-expression and body modification, which sparked my dream of working as a tooth gem artist! After spending time in tattoo and piercing shops, I wanted to bring something special to our community with unique offerings of semi-permanent designs that are safe and non-invasive procedures. At Stone Butch Smiles, I focus on quality products, luxury designs, and building real connections, ensuring every smile service is crafted with love and care!

When I’m not working, I love spending time with my spouse and our families, as well as studying to become a social worker at the University of Illinois-Chicago. Thank you for supporting a disabled- & trans-owned small business, it really means the world to me when I get to help someone sparkle brighter — I can’t wait to see your smile!
