Next week, I’m flying out to Las Vegas to attend the annual Association of Professional Piercers (APP) Conference, and I couldn’t be more excited. This event is one of the biggest opportunities each year to learn, grow, and connect with some of the most experienced professionals in the industry.

And this year, I’m not just attending—I’m teaching a class! It’s an honor (and yeah, a little nerve-wracking), but I’m genuinely looking forward to sharing what I’ve learned and giving back to the community that’s helped shape me as a piercer.

I’ll also be reconnecting with old friends and making new ones. If you’ve ever been to APP, you know the energy is unmatched—packed with workshops, incredible jewelry, and conversations that leave you inspired for the rest of the year.

📅 I’ll be out of the studio from July 15th through July 21st, so if you’ve been meaning to book an appointment—now’s the time. Don’t wait!

Thanks, as always, for your support. I can’t wait to return with fresh insights and inspiration to bring back to the studio.
