Since the beginning of my apprenticeship, I’ve always dreamed of using my passion and experience to fuel an educational space. When I say space , I genuinely mean one for everyone, from people within the industry to those skeptical of it from afar. I feel like this blog will be a good place for me to start my journey as an educator and advocate for Safe and Approachable Body Piercing.
Frequency and Topics
I have intentions of maintaining this blog weekly , while bringing topics to the table that interest both piercers and our clients. I have no desire to gate keep information , be it technique, pricing, or anything else. This industry is built on being an individual, and while I love that aspect so much , sometimes the ways it can bring us together are passed over. I’ve formed so many special relationships with my clients over the years. During these formative times I have heard countless horror stories of piercer behavior , shop quality , and just a blatant disdain for my peers from clients. These aren’t all “Karens” (sorry not you Karen ily <3) , they’re genuine people with expectations and goals. It’s so easy to get a big head in our line of work, in fact we’re encouraged to. In doing so clients often become a commodity, and their individuality is siphoned away by the artists own ego. I hope to stay grounded and in touch with everyone who makes my life possible , and this blog will hopefully serve as a weekly reminder of who I owe thanks to, and who I want to be.
Sharing and Discussion
While I’ll be sharing my posts , I’d love for anyone else to as well. I still have learning to do as a Piercer , as a Blogger, a Father, as a Person entirely. I crave discussion and interaction in areas I love, and I truly love this job. So please message me , comment (if I have those set up right), share any opinions or questions you have as well so we can grow together.
