I am originally from Japan

but in August 2008 I started a one year apprenticeship under Six at exotix studios in Toronto, Canada.

 

After I finished the apprenticeship,

I continued working at exotix studios until 2009.​

​

Since then, I have been travelling the world to see how other Body Modification Artists work and to experience working in different countries.

I have done guest-spotting in Singapore, California, Belgium, Holland and Canada.

From mid-April 2011 to the beginning of Sep 2012 I have worked at The Piercing Urge in Melbourne, Australia. After Australia, I have worked at Jackpot in Nagoya, Japan.

In 22th March 2014, I have opened NINE BODY PIERCING in Nagoya, Japan.

​

During my travels, I have attended the Association of Professional Piercers (APP) Conference 2010 in Las Vegas USA, the Body Modification Exchange (BMX) Network Conference 2010 in Berlin, Germany and have studied “Bloodborne Pathogens & the Principles of Infection Control for Modification Practitioners” at Health Educators (USA) in 2009.
