I’m currently away at Camp APP, and this year’s retreat is taking place in the absolutely stunning Mount Hood region of Washington! Between the fresh mountain air, inspiring classes, and beautiful surroundings, it’s been an incredible experience so far.

One of the real highlights this year has been the team-building exercises—getting to step outside the studio and connect with fellow piercers in a different way. There’s something really special about bonding with colleagues while hiking through the woods or working together during camp challenges.

I’m feeling recharged, inspired, and full of gratitude for this community. I’ve already taken some amazing classes, and I can’t wait to bring this renewed energy and knowledge back home to Staten Island.

Looking forward to seeing you all at Bound for Glory Tattoo very soon!
