During this class we will learn specific intermediate needle techniques through some lecture and hands-on practice. Students need to have a basic understanding of piercing and blood-safety precautions, these will not be covered in this class. Experience piercing in a shallow and a deep manner will be a helpful skill to have prior to taking this class. We will cover stacking needles and making “buttons,” tying and corseting needles, and making needles more intense during penetration, while under the skin, and during removal.

You will benefit most by coming with a piercing partner or partners. We will provide needles, gloves, sharps containers, and more for each pair or pod. Each person receiving needles in this class may receive 12 to 30+ needles as we work through skills. If you do not bring someone to pierce, you may need to share silicone based practice supplies with other classmates in groups during class, and either use practice supplies provided or pierce yourself in class during practice time. If you are choosing to self-pierce, the instructor suggests bringing/wearing loose shorts 

This class is appropriate for tops, bottoms, and switches. You do not need any of your own supplies. We will provide needles, gloves, sharps containers, and more for each pair/pod. This class aims to be inclusive of all Identities regardless of gender, sex, age, and race. The instructor is happy to accommodate anyone's (dis)abilites to the best of her ability.
