My passion for body piercing began at a young age when I first got pierced myself.
As I got into my teens and discovered music, fashion and gigs etc, I became obsessed with piercing and body modification. I would spend hour after hour on the internet looking at piercing, branding, scarification, and implants etc. and knew some day I would be lucky enough to be involved.
Coming from a small town there were no piercing studios or modded people who I could befriend or ask for advice, so like many young people I opted for Uni’. I stuck it out but always had my piercing obsession in the back of my mind. In my third year of uni I was lucky enough to gain a job in a well established tattoo and body modification studio in Sheffield.
I worked there for three years where my knowledge and skills went from strength to strength. I absorbed any information or skill I could, and showed a passion and drive which gained me a piercing apprenticeship.
I was lucky enough to have a very in depth apprenticeship, which taught me invaluable skills and abilities to set me up for my piercing career.
I have been piercing now for the last year or so, love every minute of it, and cannot see myself in any other environment.
I enjoy every day at work because nothing makes me happier than a busy day of piercing and meeting new people who keep returning for piercings and bringing their friends along.
Piercing is my passion and I feel very lucky to be able to do something I love every day as a job, not many people can say that!
