James: Established Holey Body in 1993 running it out of Old Town Tattoo in Saginaw, MI.
A Piercer/Brander/Scarification artist:
Trained for piercing in 1993 at the Amulet in Grand Rapids, MI under Kimmy this was a great start in the right direction. Most of my knowledge over the years seems to come from practice, trial, Research,
and of course sadly but sometimes error.
Future/past involvement in 1996 at The Gauntlet, in San Fran for basic piercer technique seminar & piercer health & safety Seminar, which taught me I was doing the right thing when I was providing theories about how bodies and pieces of metal worked together + how to read a pair of calipers.
A 5 year attendee APP confrence, Finally becoming a member in March of 2005. Continual attendance at the APP confrences every year.
a great admiration for my passion to adorn bodies.
