Joseph (He/They), Jewelry Consultant

Hey there, I’m Joseph. My pronouns are he/they. I was born in Phoenix, AZ in 1990. I am 100% an animal lover, as well as an artist, and musician. While in high school I played drums in a couple of bands, and was immediately immersed in the body modification culture. After getting my ears pierced at the mall, I researched how professional piercings are done properly and found a studio in Arizona called HTC. As an educated client I fell in love with the idea of body modification to express individuality, and overall affirm my identity.

After graduating high school in 2008 I moved to Flagstaff, AZ to attend NAU for physics and astronomy. I eventually made my way to Albuquerque, NM in 2012, and immediately searched for a professional body piercing studio with APP members. Evolution Body Piercing was the first studio my search revealed, and I visited and met with Noah Babcock to re-pierce my lip. 10 years and a few more local bands later, here I am as a piercing and jewelry consultant in the place I’ve aspired to be since calling Albuquerque my home.
