Turns out I’m good at stabbing things. Who knew?
Beginning as far back as high school I found myself giving piercings to my friends. I continued this off & on, giving a number of at-home piercings in my more… shall we say… activist years (using proper sterile piercing kits, I wasn’t dumb). Looking back, this has always come naturally to me. Now with my advanced clinical training, I bring a truly unique skill-set and knowledge to your piercing experience.
I’m a professionally trained acupuncturist and advanced practitioner of Chinese Medicine. My provincially licensed medical training gives me a far more technical level of safety, ethics, precision, knowledge, cleanliness, and professionalism than the standard piercer. While the practices are obviously different, acupuncture is highly trained medical profession, regulated by the province of Ontario under the CTCMPAO, where we are Clean Needle Technique certified, among other trainings related to the field (CPR-HCP, bloodborne pathogen training, etc).
That said – despite this extensive background experience and my confidence in my skills – more importantly I acknowledge my limitations. While you can trust my professionalism, I am obviously still a novice in the art of body-piercing and am rigorously reviewing my previous training, while studying and gaining experience in this new field. As I am currently building my portfolio, my piercings are at-your-own-risk (you must sign a consent form), and therefore pay-what-you-can (PWYC) – for now.
