Just got my official certificates in from the 2018 APP Conference and the Third Annual Camp APP—and I’m feeling all the things: proud, grateful, and incredibly motivated.

These aren’t just pieces of paper to me. They represent hours of education, hands-on training, deep conversations, and nonstop growth surrounded by some of the best piercers in the world. Every workshop, every class, every moment of Camp or Conference is a reminder of how much there still is to learn—and how powerful this community is when we show up for each other.

Being part of the Association of Professional Piercers means I commit to continued education and evolving standards—not just for myself, but for the clients who trust me with their bodies. These certificates are proof that I don’t just talk about safety, ethics, and best practices—I live them, year after year.

Whether it’s a technique update, new sterilization methods, or deep dives into anatomy and jewelry design, I bring that knowledge home with me to Staten Island. It means when you book with me, you’re getting a piercer who’s not only passionate, but professionally supported and constantly learning.

If you’ve ever wondered what makes an APP member different—this is part of it. The dedication. The community. The commitment to raising the bar in every way we can.

Thank you to the APP, the educators, the volunteers, and everyone who helped make Conference and Camp so impactful. I’m proud to carry these certificates—and everything they represent—into the work I do every day.
