Point Blank Tattoo & body piercing in Weert, Limburg
Can you describe yourself in one sentence?
Wow ... that's always a tricky question 🙂 friendly, patient and funny.
How long have you been piercer?
I work since april first 2017 as a professional piercer. Am still pretty new to the whole business.
Why this profession?
Interact with people, the satisfaction you get when you pierce someone with a piece of jewelry (satisfied customers) and the freedom you have.
How or from whom did you learned the skills?
I was by one of our tattoo artists, Frankie van de Wal (roodbaard_tats_art), addressed that Bart Bastiaanse of Tribal Trading trains people to piercers. we've spoke shortly and after I started his piercing course.

Can tell something about your studio/workplace?
The studio where I work is located in the Centre of Weert, near the Church. There are people coming in of all ages, just to take a look or to request information. The part where I pierce is at the back of the shop. I can pierce my customers in peace .
What type of piercing do you prefer?
There is actually no piercing that I don't like to do.

Don't pierce it if you can't control it or feel uncomfortable with. Ask other piercers and, if necessary, go be a day to another shop and learn from another piercer
Do you have a nice or weird experience you'd like to share?
Twins who came in one of them wanted a helix. The one who felt the inpact of the needle during the process was not the one sitting in the Chair she felt nothing at all, but her sister did

Mainly only piercing, if I have nothing to do then I foresee the tattooists by amenities and make sure all the tools which I and the tattoo artists need are sterile.
How do you see yourself in 5 years?
be fulltime piercer, and have a very wide range of jewelry.
