•How long have you been piercing?: I started piercing in 2006.


•What’s your favorite type of piercing to do?: I have a sweet spot for ear lobe piercings, but at this part of my career first experiences are my favorite more than a specific location. Being part of someone's first piercing is always special.


•What’s something you wish more clients knew?: I wish more folks realized that if they're having issues we care so much about helping them. I want their piercing to be successful as much as they do. 


•What do you love most about your job?: I love making people feel more comfortable in their body. Taking a feature you might be self conscious about, adding something sparkly can be a great way to change your perspective and make that feature something you now love.


•How did you get started in the industry?: I got lots of piercings, fell in love with the community and like many folks just frequented the studio and my piercer.  Kindly frequented and annoyed my piercer. The studio I   visited needed a front desk/receptionist position filled, they hired me and then I eventually started my apprenticeship. 

​

•What's your coffee order?: Iced chai-heavy chai light milk.


•What’s your comfort movie/show?: Movie-Young Frankenstein 

  Show-The Office.

​

•Dog, Cat, or Cryptid?: Cat, always.


•What’s your favorite smell?: Anything fall related. I love cinnamon but anything warm and spicy. 


•What fictional character do you relate to?: Mosscap from the book series Monk & Robot. They're a fantastic robot main character who is learning about the human world and how to interact with those humans. 10/10 easy book series and absolutely lovely characters.
