This year marks 20 years since I started my journey as a professional body piercer—and even saying that out loud feels surreal.
Two decades of piercing work, continued education, evolving standards, anatomy assessments, jewelry setups, and meaningful connections with thousands of clients. This isn’t just a career—it’s been a lifelong calling.
From my earliest days in the industry to today, I’ve remained committed to doing things the right way. That’s why becoming a member of the Association of Professional Piercers (APP) was never optional for me—it was essential.
And for years, I’ve held the title of Staten Island’s only APP member piercer—a responsibility I take seriously. It means everything I do at IPRICKU is rooted in safety, intention, and care:
✅ I use only implant-grade materials—never mystery metals
✅ I rely on verifiable sterilization (SciCan Statim 2000)
✅ I maintain certification in Bloodborne Pathogens, First Aid, and CPR
✅ I attend APP Conference and Camp annually to stay current on best practices
✅ I uphold a code of ethics that puts your health and comfort first
Over the years, I’ve worked hard to make sure that Staten Island clients don’t need to leave the borough to access world-class piercing services. Whether it’s a first lobe or a full curation, I offer one-on-one, by-appointment service in a private, clean, and supportive environment.
To everyone who’s been part of this journey—whether you found me through a friend, Instagram, or you’ve been with me since the early days—thank you. Your trust, your stories, and your support have made this 20-year milestone possible.
Here’s to the next chapter—and to continuing to raise the bar for piercing on Staten Island and beyond.
With deep gratitude,
— Paul
