xhules(they/them)
piercing trainee
My name is Xhules (like the English name Jules).
Almost seven years ago, I stumbled into the world of piercing quite by chance: what started as a side job alongside my studies quickly became my passion, significantly and lastingly shaping my career path and my private life.
What particularly motivates me about piercing is offering people a path to self-empowerment in a safe, self-chosen environment—especially when this would otherwise be difficult to achieve. Thanks to my educational background, my work with people with disabilities, and my own disability, queerness, and migration history, I place great value on a sensitive, individualized approach. So please never hesitate to express your needs!
What I love about this profession is that you never stop learning and that improvement is always welcomed and encouraged. Thanks to scholarships from international piercing associations, I have been able to attend both the British and US conferences in recent years and have been lecturing at BMXnet in Berlin for the past three years. This is how I came to Nakedsteel, where I am now able to return to teaching in order to better meet my own standards.
I look forward to seeing you all, big and small, and hope to give you a wonderful experience.
I speak German, English, and Albanian.
Accompanying persons are welcome in the piercing room—just please keep your hands to yourselves :)
