How long have you been a piercer?

 2 + years

How did you get into your chosen field?

I've worked many jobs in my life but had always been interested in piercing and tattooing(I got my first tat at the age of 16).  I was graciously brought into the piercing/tattoo industry and love piercing and seeing how happy clients get over our work.  Piercing is what got my foot in the door and i am working toward branching into tattooing.

Why do you do what you do?

It's very satisfying to see how excited my client's get when they get a new piercing and how it can change their look, which in turn comes back to you as a person and makes you want to be even better.

What do you think you bring to the table? Skills, personality, etc.

I bring a level of professionalism that in turn makes for a relaxed atmosphere, as it can be intimidating to get a piercing.  I try to be as honest with people as possible about their piercings/piercing concerns because people remember honesty, even if it's something that they don't want to hear.

What are your favorite things about your job?

I love the atmosphere of my job.  I love that there is no end to the things we can learn here and that we can always be better than we are.  I get to work with my friends and I get treated as a person and not just as an employee.

Relevant work experience? Education?

Bachelors degree in biology, first aid courses

Why is Renaissance a good fit for you?

It provides me with a place to show my talents and skills and also expand into other aspects of the industry at the same time.

Future plans?

To hopefully branch into tattooing.
