Elayne Angel is one of the most tenured and experienced piercers in the industry, she is also one of the most generous with her information. Her book The Piercing Bible: The Definitive Guide to Safe Body Piercing has informed thousands of readers. She maintains www.piercingbible.com with various resources for clients and piercers, and instructs at body piercing educational events around the world. I sat down with Elayne to discuss not only her specialties of nipple and genital piercings, but also gendered terminology, cheek piercings, and more.

A body modification practitioner performs work on a consenting adult, that work heals without complication, and the client never makes a complaint. Then that practitioner is arrested and charged for causing "grievous bodily harm". Due to legal precedent the consent of the client is irrelevant and can not be used as a defense. The practitioner is convicted, is refused appeal, and is sentenced to a prison term. This is the case against Brendan "Dr. Evil" McCarthy of the UK. I have Dr. Matt Lodder and piercer Nicholas Pinch on to discuss the issue from both an academic perspective, and a personal one.

After my seminar in Dubuque, Iowa I sat down for burgers and chats with Rob Hill and Woodstock Bader. We talked about piercer motivation and how routines and roles can help a shop stay on track. We also discuss shadowing and mentoring and doing it in a way to encourage growth and usable skills. Of course body jewelry comes up, we talk about return on investment and how too many options can be a bad thing.

For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to do 4 seminars in 8 days. It kicked my butt, but I recorded some fun stuff along the way. In between the many hours in the car I captured conversations with the staff of Pleasurable Piercings, my buddy Ed Chavarria, Rob Hill, and Woodstock Bader. I also got choked out by Sgt. Slaughter along the way, bonus.
