Hi, I'm Jared! I've been piercing for 10 years and learned my craft in Columbia, MO originally. I only pierce with jewelry made in America out of ASTM F-136 Titanium and ASTM F-138 Steel, as well as nickle-free solid gold. In addition to my years of practical experience, I attend the Association of Professional Piercers educational conference every year to expand on my skills. My other hobbies include lapidary (stonework), wire-wrapped and fabricated jewelry, baseball, and video games. I'm also a bit of a collector; I'm always looking out for antique jewelry, coin collections, crystals & minerals, and other curios and oddities!
