In a charming corner of Toronto, where she was born and raised, a young woman embarked on her delightful piercing journey. Since childhood, she had reveled in the joy of getting piercings and tattoos. However, it was her first true professional piercing experience in Kitchener that opened her eyes to the enchanting world of body art. With a sprinkle of encouragement from her friends, she began to dance with the idea of making piercing her career! Along her path, she received plenty of support from experienced piercers, igniting her passion for honing her skills and expanding her knowledge. After working in various shops throughout Toronto, she eventually found her way to Cambridge and joined the vibrant Thrive Studios. Reflecting on her own youthful struggles with piercings—often lacking the information needed to keep them healthy—she became determined to ensure her clients were well-informed and empowered in their piercing journeys. For her, piercings are a beautiful form of self-expression and personal style. As a strong advocate for bodily autonomy, she strives to make every piercing experience accessible and smooth, laying a solid foundation for her work. One of her favorite piercings to perform is the beloved earlobe, which serves as the perfect entryway into the piercing world for many. Being part of someone’s first piercing experience is truly special, as it opens up a world of possibilities for future adornments. She believes that beauty lies in simplicity, but curating a unique style adds an extra touch of fun! When she’s not at the studio, she enjoys cozying up with her adorable cats, Subie and Hellcat, diving into a good book, watching anime, or revving up her motorcycle for adventures with friends and delicious food. She is eagerly looking forward to guiding others on their own exciting piercing journeys!
