Scalpelling a piercing rather than piercing with a needle carries the
opportunity to start off at a size larger than most needles can
achieve. Scalpelling a piercing can also be an alternative to
stretching. This gives precise control over which tissue is thinned out
during the process. Scalpelling is also a way to relocate existing
piercings.

I am a progressive artist specializing in precision piercing, advanced modification, scarification and ritual experience. When I'm not working toward my degree in medicine or kicking it at The FALL, I spend my time time traveling with my art, doing demonstrations, performing sideshow, playing with rope, longboarding, playing music, building things, volunteering and writing for various websites and zines. If you have a question, check my FAQ for the answer. If you can't find the answer you're looking for there, shoot me an email! My tour calendar and work schedule is located here and my pricelist can be found here.
