    257 - Lola is an extraordinary alien

    Look out America, Lola is coming! It took over a year of paperwork to get it done, but Lola has a work visa to pierce in the United States. Ryan and Lola talk about the process and what the future holds. We also talk about why Lola declined a nomination for the APP board of directors election, and its not just because she's busy. Check out Ryan's new "half-adravya" at www.patreon.com/ryanpba. You can also gift memberships to your favorite piercer via: www.patreon.com/ryanpba/gift.

    255 - Shawn Porter interview

    Shawn Porter has been a key figure in the body modification world for decades. I first met Shawn through BME in the early 2000s and I have watched his creative influence on the industry ever since. Today, Shawn publishes body modification history through his Sacred Debris website and various print projects. 2024 was the year of Shawn saying yes to projects he may have turned down in the past; conferences, public speaking, and podcasts. So I jumped at the opportunity to have Shawn come on the show, I hope you enjoy what we recorded. We talk about Shawn's teenage entry into the body modification world through his contact with pioneer Jack Yount, then we transition into the BMEZINE years, MODCON, Scar Wars, and much more. Content Warning: graphic explicit conversations about genital piercing and modification, heavy body modification work, friends who have passed away, and extensive use of the word "cock". You can watch the video version on any tier at www.patreon.com/ryanpba.

    254 - The Power of Intimate Piercing: Live at UKAPP 2024

    This Piercing Wizard Podcast was recorded in front of a live studio audience ...at the 2024 UKAPP conference. Ryan and Lola invited previous guests Helen Houghton of Holier Than Thou Manchester and J'son D'souza of J'vaire Mumbai for a conversation about intimate piercing. As piercers we can offer simple piercings that a client gets for simple reasons, but we can also get requests that carry a deep meaning and heavy responsibility. Our panel talks about intimate work and how it differs from more visible work, the experience we try to offer to our clients, and our mentality when offering it.

    253 - There are no stupid questions (except for these ones)

    Lola came up with a new idea for an episode, her and Ryan interview each other with surprise questions for the other. Neither of us knew the questions ahead of time, so the conversations they spark are a mix of informative and silly. Enjoy as we talk about piercing techniques, our least favorite things, and the days of piercing past. Oh, and Lola would like you to know that she came up with an ice cream flavor that Ben + Jerry's can name after her, Pierce-stacchio. Ryan has a new video showcasing two navel variations, one is a forward facing navel, and one is a floating navel. Watch it on-demand along with dozens of other piercing videos at www.patreon.com/ryanpba.

    252 - Can ritual be non-spiritual? Live at BMXNET 2024

    This episode of the PWP was recorded at the BMXNET 2024 conference in Berlin. Lola and Ryan welcome back Kevin Jump to talk about spirituality in the piercing studio. Is it a key part of what we do? Is it silly and unnecessary? Ryan received an email from a listener who felt out of touch with the type of spirituality you sometimes hear piercers talking about. It sparked an interesting conversation about ritual and its place in the modern piercing industry. New content keeps coming at www.patreon.com/ryanpba. You can watch the new tragus (back-to-front) video, a new bevel theory exercises video, and hours of video content in the archive when you sign up to the arch-mage tier. Get more info about Ryan's Sept 1 2024 seminar in Middletown, NY at: www.ryanpba.com.

    251 - Piercing minors: Liabilities and Policies.

    Do you pierce minors? Why, or why not? We kick off this episode with a discussion about piercing minors, and some factors that might go into deciding the issue in your studio. Liability is a word I want piercers to think about from time to time. What kind of liabilities come up when piercing a minor? How can we minimize our exposure to liability in our practices? I also talk about the need for reprocessing in studios, or at least proper education about safe reprocessing, even in a disposable shop. You can watch my new video about piercing a tragus from the front to the back, with multiple video demonstrations going back over 8 years! Available at www.patreon.com/ryanpba.com on the arch-mage tier. I also have a new seminar open for registration. Sunday September 1st 2024 in Middletown, NY. Find more info or register at www.ryanpba.com. This episode is brought to you by IRN BRU soda, I assure you it is a soda. You can only get it in Scotland, which is probably a good thing.
