This class builds off of a base knowledge of play piercing to expand application of basic techniques in creative, unusual, and sadistic ways. This class is largely demonstrational with explanations of anatomical reactions, tips for creating specific reactions, and technical knowledge sharing taking place as we walk through showing these skills in real time. While experience is not needed to enjoy or squirm at demonstrations, this a 201 class and does not cover basic safety protocols. Safety considerations unique to the demonstrations will be discussed. We will cover nerve stimulation techniques and effective methods for guiding participants in and out of headspace/needle high. The exact nature of the demonstrations will vary depending on available bottoms and may include suturing, hand needles, and saline inflation.
