The 16th annual APP meeting just ended. As usual, an APTPI delegation was there to promote its activities and to attend the classes.<\/p>\n

The new location, the Bally’s Hotel and Casino, for sure offered high quality services, but it seemed to be a bit unorganized, and we missed the more intimate feeling of the old good Tropicana.<\/p>\n

The attendees, among them the Europeans are more and more numerous every year, followed the lessons and the roundtables with great attention.<\/p>\n

The workshops have been a very appreciated novelty: to directly watch piercers at work is very important to learn.<\/p>\n

In the expo area there were mainly the most important jewellery companies and manufacturers of aftercare products for piercing.<\/p>\n

Many people got their attention caught by APTPI promotional stand: we were able to collect a lot of\u00a0 pre registrations to our next International Meeting in march 2012 and our Italian Suscon on next September.<\/p>\n

A stand was dedicated to the presentation of Jim Ward’s book \u201cRunning the Gauntlet\u201d a biography of the very first studio piercing in the world.
\nEveryone was happy to celebrate Jim’s seventieth birthday during the traditional social party.<\/p>\n

We renew our best wishes and thanks to a man who gives us the chance to love our job and who gave a great impulse to the body piercing industry all over the world. Thank you Jim!<\/p>\n

As usual the very important meeting between the different associations has happened.<\/p>\n

As the others, APTPI could report about the results of its work and give its point of view about the national panorama.<\/p>\n

Brian Skellie, APP member responsible for the relationships with the other associations around the world,\u00a0 made the very good suggestion: to give life to the Body Art Symposium International Collaboration: a forum on Facebook opened to news, ideas, considerations; a window on the real time life of our job in the world.<\/p>\n

Join in and stay tuned!<\/p>\n
