Piercings are a huge part of my personality and the way I present myself to the world, they’re a beautiful way to express yourself and I wouldn't be me without them!
I started working in the piercing industry around 10 years ago, I got work experience at a studio in Kent and was then lucky enough to be offered a job. Been working in and around studios ever since, piercing for around 8 years now and tattooing for three.
The first piercing I did was a pair of earlobes, these are a pretty standard place to start when learning. I remember how scary but exciting it was!
I have always loved piercings and tattoos, I decided when I was around 12 years old that’s what I wanted to do and they’ve been a huge part of my life ever since!
This is a hard one! My fave is probably a Microdermal or an ear mapping project!
I love my customers, my little shop and curating art for people be it piercings or tattoos.
Probably customers who ignore aftercare, this is super frustrating and such a shame! But these people are few and far between, my customers are mostly awesome!
My customers, I’m very lucky to have such a nice bunch of humans that want me to snazz their body for them- truly blessed.
I’ve lost count, but I think around thirty?
Piercings are a huge part of my personality and the way I present myself to the world, they’re a beautiful way to express yourself and I wouldn't be me without them!
The opening day of my new studio was pretty special!
To keep going and learning and perfecting my craft. This jewellery collection is a great milestone and I'm so excited to see all my customers wearing it!
An ear mapping project using my collection for sure!!
