About Our Program

A hands-on exploration of sharp and pointy things, and how to apply them to human flesh. Come play around in this guided "lab" style class. Low on talking, high on creativity. Full of needle activities, games, and competitions, all designed to increase your ease and proficiency with temporary piercing. Come learn how to inflict pain, make art, get high on endorphins, and combine sharps with other types of play.

About our program:

Our evening's program is an introductory demo class on the art and kink of cell popping.

This is a rare opportunity to learn about this emerging fetish. If you enjoy fire, sensation or branding- or if you've ever been curious to learn more about or simply watch cell popping, this is your chance. Cell popping, which is also known as micro branding or Devil's Fire is a technique which involves using heated needles to lightly strike against the skin creating a temporary design that usually lasts for a period of months.

About our program:

Dress up, show off, and talk hot - and come to Dr. Carol Queen's class Exhibitionism for the Shy for a frisky, useful discussion about finding your own erotic identity and comfort zone, with plenty of ideas and support for those who don't yet feel very brazen.

This class is based on the hit book of the same name.
