Best piercing book out there
I’ve only been piercing for four years but this book has helped me immensely with tips, information, do’s and don’ts, and great content. I remember getting pierced in the early 90’s and hearing about E Angel and had friends that knew her and they bragged about what a good piercer she was. She IS piercing. If it was not for her I believe we wouldn’t have the piercing industry as we know it. If you pierce or if you want to have a a few piercings then you need this book. It never leaves my side at work. Plus her Q&A‘s in pain magazine are just as helpful as this book. I Will be submitting my application to the Association of professional piercers and hopefully getting to Vegas next year to attend the convention. Get this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
