I recently had the opportunity to attend another incredible seminar—this time at Black Lotus Tattoo in Baltimore, Maryland, and taught by none other than Ryan Ouellette, owner of Precision Body Arts in Nashua, New Hampshire.

If you know me, you know I’m always down to learn, especially from someone like Ryan. I’ve taken a number of classes from him in the past, and his approach to education is always insightful, detailed, and accessible. When I saw he’d be teaching at Black Lotus, I didn’t hesitate.

As always, it was a great time. I got to connect with new piercers, catch up with some familiar faces, and even got pierced myself—which is a rare treat! Experiences like these remind me why I love this industry: the community, the continuous growth, and the shared passion for safe and beautiful work.

Looking forward to putting what I learned into practice and sharing those insights with my clients.
