About Russ Foxx
I am a professional body artist specializing in precision piercing, advanced modification, scarification and body suspension.
More specifically, my practices include body piercing (freehand, temporary & conventional), adult piercing, surface piercing (punch & taper), pocketing (microdermal anchors & flesh staples), scarification via scalpel, large gauge dermal punches, body suspensions and pulls, transdermal & subdermal implants, splits, ear sculpting (pointing, repairs), etc.
I have been practicing body art since 2001 and attended seminars with the Association of Professional Piercers in 2003 and 2011. I owned and operated a body art studio in Alliston, Ontario for about 4 years before relocating to the beautiful province of British Columbia! I often travel and do guest visits all over the world, as well as training seminars and workshops.
Body suspension plays a major role in my life and has influenced who I am today. I have personally experienced over 100 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.
I am also a performance artist frequently doing sideshows as "The Human Tacklebox". I sometimes collaborate with other performers, and in the past have shared the stage with the likes of The Monsters of Schlock, The Lizardman, The Enigma, The Show Devils and many more.
I am available for guest spots, workshops, demonstrations and guest spots by request.
I am a board member of the Church of Body Modification.
I am a staff member of AskBME where I answer body art-related questions for the public.
