It’s time again for another interview from the BME World Tour. Today’s interview is with Nixx, a tattoo artist from 383 Tattoo located in the Gold Coast in Australia.
Nixx started out his modification career as a piercer and he talks about how he was able to transition from one career to the other, and how piercing has been able to help him now as a tattoo artist.

Today’s video is one a whole lot of you have been waiting for. When the BME World Tour stopped in Darwin, there was one person that they just had to visit, the incomparable, the dazzling, the talented, Lori St.Leone!
In case you don’t know who Lori is, her BME Wiki entry goes something like this:
Lori St.Leone began her piercing career in 1995 in her hometown of Anchorage, Alaska, and has been working at Vogue Body Piercing since 2001. Lori is extensively experienced in all aspects of body piercing (everything from lobes and eyebrows to genital projects), and she also offers services such as punch and taper method surface piercing, large gauge dermal and cartilage punching, lobe scalpelling, genital beading and newer techniques such as microdermals. She is the sole piercer working with the NT Department of Health to improve legislation in regards to body modification in the Northern Territory, and is strongly committed to constantly improving her techniques and the shop’s setup to conform with best practice available as the industry advances. Lori has an excellent reputation in her local community for her ethical and superb quality practice, as well as her friendliness and kindness, and often volunteers her time doing community outreach and education regarding body modification and related health concerns and issues.
Now this video was taken a while back, so some of the things you’ll hear about in the video are out of date. The most important one is that Lori is on her way to becoming a mom for the second time.
