working piercers, there are a couple of guys I believe deserve recognition for their continued work to help serve the piercing community. People like Jeremy Milinazzo at Intrinsic, and Stephen De Toma and Tod Almighty at ANATOMETAL. All of them are long time piercers who have taken their years of piercing experience and put it to work to help the rest of us get the jewelry we need to keep our shops stocked and running. Oh, and last but definitely not least on my list is Brian Skellie. The man is just an awesome example of what it means to be a piercer, teacher, and a human being. He has been a great help to me personally as a piercer and friend, as I am sure he has for so many others who are lucky enough to interact with him. When he offers advice, it’s not based on his opinion of what he thinks is right, but rather it’s rooted in facts that he has researched and can prove. One of the greatest qualities I admire about him the most and really strive to emulate in my InkSpiredMagazine.com 157
