Have a lookie
I had the pleasure of teaching a @safepiercing TalkAPP class at #APP2022 alongside the talented @doblebou and ever-inspiring @piercerchrissy called "Room for improvement: Stories of transformation."
https://www.joeltron.com/talkapp
Together, we spent a bit over an hour discussing our journey to get to where we are now and how we got there.
As I went last, I decided to discuss more of my fuck-ups than achievements as I often reflect on the mistakes that make us who we are today.
Anyhow – you can now read my transcript if you missed out on the class! Go check it out and make fun of the old images.
Today was (apparently) international Septum day, and I'm fucking LIVING for it. π€
A total of 5 happy little septums left @opalheartpiercing today, including this charming birthday piercing for @raznay.art ππ
@anatometalinc 12g 3/8" front-facing CBB with genuine Swarovski gems and all ASTM F136 implant grade titanium.
Swipe for compulsory snot-snot! <3
Really enjoyed piercing this client's lovely little conch with an 18kt solid white gold Marquise Fan by @anatometalinc . We played around with a few different optimal placements after I declined to pierce her 'fused helix' and I think we were both stoked with the result!
Conch pierced at 14g with a Kiwami needle (free hand, front to back) and has an ASTM F136 5/16" implant-grade titanium backing for the healing period.
We also threw in a cheeky 16g 5/16" highish lobe as a little friend too.
To all ya'll #APP2022 piercers out there, what was your first piercing back?
You'll never guess what mine was… hint: it was a 14g 5/16" CBB septum with ASTM F136 titanium jewellery from @anatometalinc
I'm back safe and sound at @opalheartpiercing after a long long long long series of delayed flights and lost luggage – but feeling good and still testing negative daily.
As always, check out the under-shot pic and now featuring a client selfie too!
I feel like this first photo really encapsulated the essence of the #clickerino booth at the #APP2022 exhibition. ππ°πππ‘
Me hanging out being an idiot with friends, @stinkface27 working solid behind the scenes to keep the cogs turning while her husband @stranglebat and mother Joyce keep the caffeine and fun times flowing!
I don't generally promote my side hustles publicly as I like them to grow organically and stand on their own and I was NOT disappointed with the continued response from the industry.
High quality, 18kt and USA ASTM F136, shiny as fuck, lifetime guaranteed simple clickers available only to professional studios. Go buy some. www.clickerino.com
Big ups to Christina whom many of you will notice from @opalheartpiercing really was the one who put this together and kept it all from falling apart. <3
The "Just the Tip" #APP2022 class on intact penile piercings was a big pile of fun! πππ
The FULL presentation is now available free at www.joeltron.com/foreskin
It was a really humbling experience to present a class for my friends and peers and it was truly rewarding to see everyone as excited and interested in the topic as I am myself.
We also renamed the word foreskin
ππ to the Devil's umbrella πβοΈ, which I for one feel is more suitable.
Aside from a very short intermission that required some command prompt fuckery, everything went smoothly and I even had a couple people say they really enjoyed it!
Thanks to everyone who attended and big ups for @kellansmithworks who was unable to attend but assisted a lot with the presentation as well as all my friends I nagged to review and rehearse the class beforehand.
Obligatory #APP2022 badge and ribbon pix!
I start my ππ class in a few hours, make sure to grab one of my very special ribbons on your way in!
Two days in the states and I'm already missing my boo @caratigerlily and also my luggage… π«π»πΌ
It's as hot as a freshly microwaved pizza pocket here too, but oh is it exciting to be starting #APP2022 soon!
I should be packing to travel to Las Vegas #APP2022 and instead I'm swooning over this rad industrial I did a few months ago! πππͺ±
@jackson5mith swapped over to this @industrialstrength component piece he made all from titanium and snagged some sweet photos while he was at it!
Hit digity damn do I love some me some 10g septums! ππ¦΄π£
Here is a fresh (slightly deviated) septum pierced telescopically at 10g with a 3/8"ASTM F136 CBR from @anatometalinc
Super excited to be teaching @kellansmithworks and my class βJust The Tip: A perspective of intact penis piercingsβ at the 25th Anual APP Conference next month in Las Vegas!
People born in the USA after 2002 will have a significantly higher chance of being intact ("uncircumcised"). That means if you offer genital piercings, you WILL have intact clients coming in and if you arenβt ready, you may get caught with YOUR pants down!
The class is for APP members only, but donβt be discouraged if you arenβt attending this year's event as the presentation will be released separately in PDF afterward.
Looking forward to ALL the hugs in Vegas and catching up with friends. Xoxo. See you all soon!

Healed 12g 1/4" @leroifinejewellery helix cluster and fresh 12g 5/16" @anatometalinc 18kt Yellow Gold FaraTΓ‘ with Genuine Amethyst conch.

Dreamy 12g 7/16" Front-Facing ASTM F136 titanium ring and 3mm prong-set threaded Swarovski ends by @anatometalinc with a cheeky prong-set captive by @neometaljewelry
Confused as Neometal doesn't make captive beads? πβοΈπ Swipe for a zoomie and side angle to show how I pulled it off.
You've seen them before, I've posted them before…. but lets both be honest, neither of us can get enough of these amazing 18kt gold Danger Noodles from @anatometalinc πππ
This inner conch was specifically pierced with this piece at 12g 5/16" and now it's all healed up and downsized to a 1/4" with a little special secret on the backside if you do the swipey swipe.
(no it's not a tiny threaded mouse…. although that could be funny…. πππ§‘)
Although under the mask sevices resumed at @stoneheartpiercing NSW it's still masks-are-a-must at @opalheartpiercing WA.
In line with the WA Level 2 public health measure, we are limiting +1s and continuing the stringent safety measures we have been enforcing at the studio.
I am already having septum piercing withdrawals, so the second the mandate is eased I'm expecting a line-up of tear jerkers please!
As the NSW mask mandate has been eased, @stoneheartpiercing is now offering full service body piercing again, including all those eager little noses out there.
Here's an eye-wateringly good 18kt solid gold flower with genuine diamond by @bvla that I pierced pre-masks here in W.A. at @opalheartpiercing
As always, swipe for inside and piercer shots (ya nerds!) π€ππ
