“I began by getting pierced in a shop in Alabama and becoming friends with the people working there. I worked as receptionist for a short stint before being offered a piercing apprenticeship. I have been enthusiastic about the art of piercing ever since. During my apprenticeship I learned the fundamentals, like disease prevention and basic technique, but was left to learn a lot on my own. By networking with my peers in the profession I have become a pretty well rounded piercer. I’m now a proud member of the APP, and look forward to keeping with standards and promoting health and safety to the piercing industry as long as I’m involved, and will always advocate for the industry that has allowed me to make a profession out of something that I truly love.”

I dont even know, or met or have spoken to the guy Jpsh..but have read this through iam:miss little cupcake…and millions of updates of iamers with their condelances. This has brought tears to my eyes over and over again. Like now.
Another good man fell. Please be at peace at yourself and watch over those you love.

RE: #50.
That news report is inaccurate and pretty fucking rediculous.

My heart goes out to all these people that were friends with this individual.
“If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn. People die. But real love lives forever.”

Everyday I wake up hoping this is just one big fucked up dream, and that I’ll wake up and you’ll still be around Josh. Being the all around awesome guy that you are, as well as a very good piercer.
I was hoping to actually have our conversations done in person this year at APP, but now we won’t get a chance to.
I curse this world once again for taking such a good person away from us.

Josh, you were one of the sweetest and nicest people in our industry. Conference will never be the same without you.

You were one of the reasons I started doing suspension. You inspired me and I will never forget the many drunken 4am phone calls to come over and watch movies. I will miss you and you will always be in my heart!

I knew Josh Prentice quite well and he was a dear and close friend of mine. I trusted no other person to pierce and then gauge my nipples and Josh was the one who performed the mod. I only learned of Josh’s unfortunate and tragic passing this evening and my heart aches with every thought of him: every fight, every laugh, every entheogenic experience, every moment. You don’t really know how much you love someone until they are gone.
Josh was more than a pretty face, a nice physique, and a quick wit. Josh was a person capable of infinite love and prone to genuine emotional displays, both positive and negative. He was a true example of what it means to live in the eternal now.
I love you, Josh. You were my friend, my brother, and my partner in many shared adventures through inner space. My heart aches and my mind can find no rest. My 10gauge hoops and my memories are all I have left of you.
I will never forget you. I will always love you. Peace, my brother, until we rest together in the long, dreamless sleep of the soul.
