We're back from APP 2016! Here's a recap of memorable classes and events from the week, and a buttload of new jewelry from the APP exposition.

Yesterday was Jim Ward’s Birthday. Though we’re a day late with the Birthday greetings, we wanted to give a shout out to the man who started what became the modern piercing industry.

We’re excited to share the announcement that the digital archive of the Sailor Sid collection is now live at the Leather Archives and Museum!

Photographer Charles Gatewood passed away in his sleep early this morning, April 28, 2016. He was 73 years old. With his death, the piercing community has lost a monumental talent and tremendous advocate.
