John Johnson is a professional body piercer and proud member, instructor for, and board member of the Association of Professional Piercers. John has been professionally piercing since 2003 and has worked for Kari Barba's Outer Limits since 1999 in Anaheim, Orange, Costa Mesa, and now Long Beach. John was first introduced to body piercing by his good friend, professional photographer Forrest Frazier, while living in Miami in the early 1990's. There he was exposed to the popular Modern Primitives book, P.F.I.Q. Magazine, and the Gauntlet video series. John got his start in the piercing industry in 1998 at Body Accents in Indianapolis, Indiana.

He enjoys the sense of community body piercers, jewelry manufacturers, and piercing collecters share. He also enjoys working with non-piercing body modifications like suspension, scarification, play-piercing, and corset work. Consultations for these procedures are always necessary.

John Johnson is dedicated to providing a comfortable and safe piercing environment clients can trust. He uses Midmark M7 and Statim 2000 autoclaves for sterilization as well as Confirm Monitoring Systems. John uses implant standard jewelry for all initial piercings that comply with new California regulations for body piercing. All barbells are internally threaded.

The class schedule for the 2012 APP conference is now confirmed. John Johnson will return as a speaker with the following schedule:

June 18th, 1:45-3:15pm. "Initial Jewelry Size & Style." This is a class designed for piercing apprentices and piercers in their first years of piercing professionally. John will discuss the most accepted jewelry materials, styles, and sizes used in the current piercing industry. Only basic piercings will be discussed, with an emphasis on safe bead sizes, implant standard materials, length and diameters, and gauge.

June 18th, 5:00-6:30pm. "Writing a business Plan." This is a class intended for current or future studio owners and managers, as well as any other industry employee wishing to better understand how intelligent business planning influences their company's success. This class will have a strong incentive on Budgeting, Business Management, Marketing, and the Executive Summary.

June 19th, 5:45-7:45 pm. "Bedside Manner and Grounding." Piercers with any level of experience can often benefit from refreshing their bedside manner technique. Professional piercers can sometimes become so focused on their technical abilities and skill that they overlook the importance of giving their clients a positive experience. This class will offer both basic and advanced tips to help modern piercers build their reputations as great piercers. This class will be co-instructed by Joshua Bryant and Fakir Musifar.

June 20th, 11:45am-12:45pm. "Becoming an Instructor." John will facilitate this round table. The topics will be how the APP's annual conference curriculum is determined by the conference committee, how new classes are developed and integrated, and what traits are needed to be a successful instructor. The APP is always trying to improve the content of the conference and this open forum is an opportunity for attendees to learn more about the planning process and offer their input.

ATTENTION PIERCERS

Now that 2011 is behind us and you've had some time to deflate, do you have any suggestions for next year? anything at all? A class idea or maybe an eco-friendly upgrade? Message John Johnson personally if you have anything you think will make 2012 the best ever APP conference ever. Thanks.
