Counter Manager & Online Sales
I love it when I can show a client a piece of jewelry or a type of piercing that they may not have ever considered and then watching them become excited about it. Helping a client express themselves through the styling of their piercings and the curation of their jewelry is a very fun, exciting process.
Since October of 2020 I've been shipping body jewelry to people all over the world and it's really cool being able to offer the best jewelry in the world to clients all over the world!
I'm originally from a small town on the coast of South West Wales, I moved to Oklahoma in early 2010. I'm a Gemological Institute of America accredited Applied Jewelry Professional and have helped several clients with fully custom jewelry designs. I love to cook and have a list of countries I want to travel to based primarily on the food they have there

Piercer
I love piercing because I get to help people achieve a new look or reclaim their bodies. For some it might be a way to reconnect with their culture. For others it could just be generally cathartic. Whatever it is, I’m here for it.
I love baking things for the people I care about. Something about seeing them enjoying something I put time and effort into making, brings me joy. I also like to collect oddities, specifically: teeth, bugs, and bird feet. I just generally enjoy anything having to do with Halloween.

I love body modification, all forms of it, and I love being apart of that journey with other people and seeing that smile on their face when they face their fears and do the things they've always wanted.
I love to draw and make things, I went to school for fine art, I love the outdoors, camping and such. And I love anything fantasy, I've been playing world of Warcraft for about 10ish years.
