What's my favorite piercing to perform?

Anything paired, like nostrils and eyebrows! It’s so satisfying to find placements that compliment the flow of everyone’s unique anatomy. And because bodies are hardly ever symmetrical, trying to create the illusion of symmetry is such a fun challenge.

What's something you "specialize" in?

I guess you could say I specialize in discounted piercings! 🤭 I’m still practicing a few placements, so please reach out if you’d like to book a learning/teaching appointment. Right now I’m practicing some oral piercings and surface work!

What would you like to see more of?Asking for help! Having a hole poked in your body is weird and complicated. There are no stupid questions, and we will never shame someone for having a tough time healing. Plus I love to over-explain things!

Hello everyone! I’m Dani, and I’m so excited to be working with the amazing crew at CGP&T! I love being a part of the community around body piercing, and I’m grateful for every day I can engage in a process that is often empowering, healing, and transformative. My favorite placements are anything paired (like nostrils and eyebrows), and I’m so excited to be learning oral piercings and surface work very soon! Please reach out if you’re interested in helping me grow by receiving discounted piercings on Thursdays and Saturdays!

Fun facts!

When I’m not piercing I enjoy video games, hiking at a very leisurely pace, and doing extremely amateur crafts. Before piercing, I worked as a substitute teacher. I share my home with my partner and a very dignified old-man-cat named Mr. My favorite shows include X-Files, Scavengers Reign, Buffy, and Our Flag Means Death. I’m engaged to an incredible tattoo artist, but I don’t have any tattoos. I do, however, have a couple degrees in literature that I’m not using (please bring me all your book recs). I’m so happy to be here and I can’t wait to meet you all!! Thanks for reading!
