I’m a Brazilian visual artist with experience in photography and set design. I immigrated to Los Angeles over a decade ago and entered the local BDSM scene early 2023. My first experiences were with bondage and impact, and about a year ago I had my first needle scene, although I’ve been getting tattoos and piercings since I was 14. In sharps, specifically, I’ve had the opportunity to try a huge variety of things including basic LOBAS, staples, single gauge needles, large count scenes, needle zippers, needle pulls, wires running through my skin and weighed down by rocks, face needles, and even Xmas lights strung through my skin, among many other experiences. Although I feel fairly new to the scene I’ve been incredibly lucky to have a skillful Top that has guided me through these amazing experiences and has given me the confidence to create my own self stab designs as well.
