A Bit About Me
I’ve been passionate about piercings since I was a young teen, and I’m now proud to share my passion with others. I’ve been in the industry for 12 years, and I am so grateful to do something I love so much every day. My focus in recent years has been creating accessible educational content for clients and piercers online via social media. In the studio, I love doing identity-affirming piercings, with a focus on gender-affirming work for the queer and trans communities. I enjoy guesting at new studios, seeing how others work, and the challenge of acclimating quickly to a new workplace. I pride myself on being a polite, efficient, tidy guest and my goal for every guest spot is to leave the studio better than I found it.
When I am not piercing I enjoy being outside in nature, reading books, watching anime, and hanging out with my fat, mean cat, Girlfriend.
