Business Owner

I had wanted my tongue pierced since I was about 15 and I finally decided that now was as good a time as any. My friend took me to see a piercer by the name of Brian. After a little arm twisting I sat down, stuck my tongue out, and BLAM, my tongue was pierced. It was that easy! I woke up the following day and decided to go online and read exactly what I had got myself into. I typed «tongue piercing» into my favorite search engine, DOGPILE, and was immediately directed to BME, the Body Modification Ezine. It was at that time that my life was changed forever. Every free moment I had was devoted to reading about the amazing world of tattoos, piercings, and body modification. I began my apprenticeship in 1999 and by 2000 was piercing professionally on my own. 13 years later I currently am one of the few Professional Piercers in the area who only sells Certified Medical Grade American Made Jewelry. I am dedicated to my work and proud to provide the best products and experience possible!
