He was either getting pierced, piercing himself, or finding ways to express who he was inside and out.
Alex explains that he loves learning, and sharing his knowledge with others
“I am a huge science nerd- and always have to know the science behind anything piercing related.”

I have been professionally piercing for three years along both sides of the Indiana/Illinois border. I have been an APP member in good standing for two years! From a young age, I have always been intrigued with body piercings and captivated by fine jewelry, but I never thought I would be so fortunate to join the industry and combine my two passions.

After about two years into college, I dropped out and decided I wanted to work hard and pursue my passion for body piercing – I haven’t looked back since! I love working with my amazing clients to create something beautiful and unique that showcases their personalities and gives them confidence.

I thoroughly enjoy visiting other piercing studios, participating in opportunities for my continued education, and traveling. When not in the studio, I love spending time with my hedgehog Clover, running 5ks, and taking on new art projects!

I am so fortunate to be able to do what I love every day, and I am eager to see what the future holds!
