Recently, I had the opportunity to attend another incredible seminar hosted by the one and only Luis Garcia, this time focusing on large gauge piercings. The class took place at the always-welcoming Freyja Piercing in Maryland—one of my favorite spots for continuing education and industry connection.
This seminar dove deep into the ins and outs of large gauge work, covering everything from placement techniques and proper jewelry selection to the anatomy-dependent nature of these piercings. Whether it’s ears, navels, or genital work, large gauge piercing demands precision, skill, and an intimate understanding of the body—and this class absolutely delivered.
What We Covered:
- ✅ Anatomy Considerations for various large gauge placements
- ✅ Safe, long-term jewelry options and why they matter
- ✅ Techniques for initial piercing and stretching
- ✅ Complications and how to avoid them
- ✅ Hands-on piercing observation of large gauge work in real time
- ✅ A detailed Ask Me Anything (AMA) session with Luis
Luis is not only a skilled piercer, but also a gifted educator. His ability to break down complex techniques and explain the why behind every move is part of what makes his seminars so impactful. Watching him work, hearing his insights, and seeing the care he puts into his teaching was a true highlight of the experience.
Always Learning, Always Growing
Even with over 20 years in this industry, I never stop learning—and that’s exactly how I want it. Continuing education through experiences like this one allows me to bring new knowledge and better service back to my clients, and to always evolve as a professional.
Huge thanks to Luis Garcia for sharing his knowledge, and to Freyja Piercing for hosting a top-tier event. If you’re considering a large gauge piercing or are curious about what’s possible, feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to share what I’ve learned and guide you in the safest direction.
