While I was in Amsterdam (and before I went to the coffee shops) I sat down with Dutch piercer Sharon Looy at her studio Dare 2 Wear. Sharon owns three gorgeous studios and has a great perspective on the past, present, and future of piercing in The Netherlands and Europe as a whole.

After the interview stick around to learn the inner workings of the Association of Professional Piercers. Ever wondered how you go from being an APP member to working on a committee or being an instructor? Well too bad, I'm going to talk about it anyway.
