It’s finally here! The 24th Annual Association of Professional Piercers Conference is officially underway, and I’m beyond excited to be part of it again. The volunteer crew is assembled, energized, and ready to make this another unforgettable week in Las Vegas!

Every year, APP Conference brings together an amazing community of piercers, educators, and jewelry companies from all over the world. It’s more than just a professional event—it’s a chance to reconnect with friends, deepen knowledge, and grow both as a piercer and as a person.

From early morning setups to late-night hangouts, volunteering here means long days, lots of learning, and even more laughs. I’m incredibly grateful to be involved with this industry in such a meaningful way, and to contribute my energy back to a community that’s given me so much.

Stay tuned—I’ll be bringing all that energy and inspiration back home to Bound for Glory Tattoo on Staten Island real soon. And of course, I’ll be sharing new techniques, fresh jewelry, and renewed passion with every client who walks through my door.

Here’s to another great year at APP! 💎✨
