She has completed Basic and Advanced training through Fakir Intensives (1999, 2012, 2018), has her level C First Aid, WHO Covid19 and Bloodborne Pathogens certificate, as well as having attended seminars and workshops at the Association for Professional Piercers annual conferences (2004, 2009, 2010, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023) and member's retreats (2015, 2017, 2018, 2019).

She is known for her skill and dexterity as much as for her dedication to beautiful, quality piercings and jewellery. (Also known for being a bit less stoic, Jenna treats all of our studio's clients as she would want to be treated- that includes seeing the test strip that runs in the autoclave before a procedure, juice boxes, sterile cold compresses, stickers for bravery and treats.)
Jenna is a proud member of the Association of Professional Piercers and is dedicated to continuing to learn and develop her knowledge.
