About This Event
Needle-play is fascinating. And so is bondage. Bring the two together and you end up with something mind-blowing. Needles with bondage together can be quite intimidating and a lot needs to be taken into consideration.
Join us for an evening class by MxAnnix to dive into the combination of these two practices.
Please have a look at our policies and safety rules. [https://studio-allegory.com/studio-rules/]
- Each participants needs a completed release of liability "waiver".
Facilitator
Mx Annix
A pro-domme and harm-reduction worker with a life-long obsession with sharps and blood. Annix is continuously learning new things to help deepen and improve their sharps practice. Some of their experience includes working as an assistant to hook suspension performers, self piercing since 2004, classes (online and in person) on sharps play, sharps cleanliness and wound care, and doing skill shares with a professional piercer. Their first aid and harm reduction training also plays a role in how they approach their practice. Through their sharps journey they have continued to fine tune how they play. Annix keeps safety and cleanliness as their number one priorities, while also bringing an ugly-is-beautiful-creativity into scenes.
