I am a professional body artist specializing in piercing, advanced modification, scarification and ritual experience.

More specifically, my practices include body piercing (freehand & conventional), adult piercing, surface piercing (punch & taper), pocketing (microdermal anchors & flesh staples), scarification via scalpel, large gauge punches, body suspensions and pulls, implants, splits, ear sculpting (pointing, repairs), etc.

I have been practicing body art since 2000 and completed a training seminar with the Association of Professional Piercers in 2003. I owned and operated a body art studio in Alliston, Ontario for about 5 years before relocating to the beautiful province of British Columbia! I am currently working toward a degree in medicine.

Body suspension plays a major role in my life and has influenced who I am today. I have personally experienced over 30 suspensions of different types with varying amounts and sizes of hooks; including vertical, horizontal and modified suspensions. I am the founder of "Modern Body Suspension " (a Vancouver-based suspension team) and frequently host indoor and outdoor "SusCons" all over Canada. Some of my body art-related hobbies include sideshow acts and performance art, so keep an eye on my blog to stay informed of future events!
