Camp APP 2022: Education, Community, and a Much-Needed Recharge

Another incredible year at Camp APP is in the books, and I’m heading back to the studio feeling recharged, re-inspired, and deeply grateful.

This year, I had the opportunity to take 12 classes and workshops, each one packed with insight, technique, and conversation that will directly benefit the work I do every day. Camp continues to be a space where piercers from across the world gather to grow—not just as professionals, but as people who care about this industry and the clients we serve.

Outside of the classroom, Camp APP gave me what I didn’t even realize I needed: time to slow down. Catching up with friends, sharing stories, and yes—enjoying some amazing meals—was exactly the kind of reset that helps me finish the year strong.

These moments away from the studio are more than just professional development; they’re about staying connected to the bigger picture of why I do what I do. I’m walking away from Camp APP 2022 with fresh ideas, renewed energy, and a full heart.

Can’t wait to see all of you back in the studio—piercing, connecting, and closing out the year with purpose.
