10 years ago, if you'd told me I'd be exhibiting photographs of my artistic piercings in an art gallery, I'd have laughed. Even harder if I'd heard I'd be performing again.
Body piercing has always been seen as a service to me. But somewhere along the way, it became something more.
I realised these installations weren't just piercings. They were moments of trust. Temporary masterpieces created on living bodies. Art that existed for only a few minutes before disappearing forever, leaving only a photograph and the memory behind.
This past week, those moments were hanging on gallery walls.
Watching strangers stop, study them, ask questions, and see beauty in something they'd never considered before... that was one of the proudest moments of my career.
It reminded me that art doesn't have to fit inside a frame or follow tradition to deserve a place in a gallery.
Thank you to Newcastle KinkFest and the Exhibition Collaborative for giving unconventional artists a platform. 🖤
To my lovely pin cushion Sin, thank you for helping bring our live performance to life with absolute trust and commitment. 🖤
To every client whose body became part of this collection, thank you for allowing me to create with you. 🖤
To my FLT cheer squad, friends, loved ones, and every client who's supported me over the years, you've all played a big part in getting me here. 🖤
If this exhibition taught me anything, it's that there are more people than ever willing to look beyond convention and find beauty in the unexpected. ✨️
If you've ever wanted to become part of that process, I'm taking bookings for artistic piercing or needle sessions at FLT Tattoo Studio, with a mini photoshoot included to preserve your own temporary artwork.
My artwork contribution and performance are up for an award as part of kinkfest.
Please scroll through to the last slide to vote as it would mean the world to me to receive this recognition. 🫶
What's the most unexpected place you've ever found beauty?
