Have a lookie
#AUPP2024 was a massive success, and as we wrapped up I couldn`t help but feel an overwhelming sense of pride for how far our industry has grown on this side of the globe ππ«ππ
We still have a LOT of room for further development as an industry, but knowing so many talented practitioners are sharing the same goal is really uplifting
Special thanks to the always amazing board members @piercersuzanne @missmodify and @remedybodypiercing - as well as the TRULY inspiring volunteers this year. Such an event is just not possible without your countless hours of dedication!
Last thanks to all the sponsors of our event - you guys literally pay for the venues, and allow us to put on these events <3
More pics to come, but wanted to share my gratitude

Nearly that time of year, where a BUNCH of Australasian piercers all get together to share knowledge and hang out together as a bunch of weirdos. π«Άπ§ π©Άπ©΅π
All of the crew at @safepiercing_au have been planning an AMAZING event and I`m truly honoured that I was asked to teach my latest class this Wednesday in Melbourne!
Not so excited to show a room full of piercers a video of me being a big ol` wimp getting my gooch pierced tho. π₯π

Who doesn`t enjoy a good big boi booped snoot? πͺππ
This beauty was performed at 2gauge (6mm) with an @anatometalinc ASTM F136 7/16" circular barbell and was pierced with a combo of telescopic and pilot methods to achieve the clients desired size. ππ©ββοΈπ
Contrary to what you may think, although these piercings can be very challenging as a piercer, they are surprisingly easy to get done and heal.

Drumroll, please! π₯ Behold, the 18kt solid gold Double Round Harlequin end with genuine Tanzanite by @bvla ππ
Pierced at 14g into a pair of haemostats with a #kiwami needle (^o^)/
Swipe for a zoom pic and the all-important piercer backshot to show off my angles and the swelling room left on this 5/16" post.

Super stoked to visit #StoneHeartBodyArt to hang out with the cool kids before @stab.rat heads overseas for her (much-deserved) birthday holiday. πππ₯³
We are keen to collaborate on the 14th and 16th, whether it be those tandem nipple piercings you have been putting off or even just extending a fun ear project you have in mind! πΎβοΈπ
Remember, bookings are ESSENTIAL, so head to www.joeltron.com/sydney to book in <3
This fun Snonch piercing (yup, thatβs the name) is adorned with a fantastic solid 18kt yellow gold βMomma Duckyβ end from @anatometalinc and pierced freehand with a 12g 5/16β flat back shaft by myself. Donβt forget to swipe right for the back-shot, too as it`s a sneaky little one!

β¨ Thursday Thrills! π Get pierced with pure joy and zero service fees for daith piercings this THURSDAY at @stoneheartpiercing Sydney with @fato.piercer and myself! πβ¨
www.stoneheart.com.au/FreeDaithPiercing/
Just book in, let us check your anatomy for viability, pick out some fabulous bling, and let`s make this Thursday a piercing party! ππ
PS: π This lovely moon-inspired clicker is made by @dysmorphicbodyart from ASTM F-136 implant-grade titanium. The o-rings are a great way to protect the healing piercing from any unwanted rotation and irritation during the healing period.

Lastly, I want to give my deepest appreciation to ALL the attendees of #AUPP2023
You all took time from your busy lives to further improve your craft, showing that EVERYONE has something to learn.
Here are some piccies from the last day of the event. The last one is prolly my favourite pic from the conference, even if I have NO idea why I`m making that face... π€‘
See you all in Melbourne for #AUPP2024!

βGetting under the belt, under YOUR beltβ π§ππ©³
Intimate piercings are always a challenge of skill and troubleshooting as everyoneβs anatomy is different, and those on the other side of the needle are usually a little more nervous, making for some pretty intense moments.
I had the pleasure of teaching this class alongside @jessica_rabid_pierces, who contributed vital information and useful insights learnt from travelling and performing procedures worldwide.
At over 180 slides (donβt freak out, there are LOTS of pictures), there was no way we were going to be able to teach it all - so we let our attendees pick what they wanted to learn about, and we delved deep into a few of my favourites to discuss different procedural techniques, and I even got to learn some new stuff from other attendees!
Although this will be a long-term work in progress, I want to share the entire directorβs edition PDF with the industry and anyone who may benefit from its information completely free.

It is FAR from finished, so please reach out if you are a practitioner and have input or suggestions to improve it further! Most importantly - I hope you learn something new.

#AUPP2023 would not have been even remotely possible if it wasnβt for these amazing and talented individuals (and the weirdo in lavender).
What can I say, except I genuinely canβt think of a group of more passionate people that I would want to sit around with at 2am cutting name tags, spending countless hours planning out and organising events, or just having a little giggle at a new video filter.
They took countless hours away from their lives, businesses, families, pets and partners to create something special for us all to benefit from. Together, we can complement each other`s strengths and make something we have all wanted (and the industry has needed!) for several years.
We have had several inspiring people involved in the AUPP since its creation, but you three are the true stars, even if you ruined my deep love for spreadsheets. We have come a LONG way and I am genuinely excited to see what we can continue to achieve in the future!

I taught this class for the first time at APP this year in Las Vegas to a whopping 450 attendees, but there was something so much more intimate presenting it in Sydney to 108 people. Having personally worked alongside so many of the attendees, some of whom were there during the development and mastering of the techniques was something else.
The directorβs cut is over 100 slides of choreographed septum procedures, history, methodology, bad jokes and background to every element involved in doing a septum piercing.
I donβt think there is ever enough time to teach a class like that all in one sitting, even with a cut-down version it still ran well over the 90-minute allotment (thatβs also why I went last).
The directorβs edition is free to download in PDF format and check out yourself!

#AUPP2023 was such an intense event for me. π©πποΈ
It was far beyond just a conference, more than just education, more significant than just a room full of piercers - it was the manifestation of a community of like-minded people wanting to not only thrive but to see their peers also.
Itβs going to take me some time to decompress all my feelings and a lifetime to express my gratitude to everyone involved. I simply donβt think I can even do it in a single post, so let`s begin by thanking the actual AUPP members!
At over 40 strong, you all have not only set the bar for our industry but you have continued to strive to offer the safest experience for your clients.

"Zia" (Latin) translates to mean light, splendour and grain - I couldn`t agree more! β¨πβ¨
Here the @anatometalinc Zia end, in 18kt white gold with genuine Swarovski, found its way into this fresh nostril I pierced.
Swipe for a zoomie and a piercer-shot, so you can see just how flat these lil fellas are! Pierced at 16g with a #kiwami needle and 5/16" titanium threadless backing.

π Diving into the world of frosty vibes and opal dreams! β¨
Pierced telescopically with a 14g 3/8" CBB and prong-set ends by @industrialstrength. A cute little 3mm Frosty Mint Swarvoski captive by @neometaljewelry completed the set up nicely!
