Gera the Impaler

Gera the Impaller is a professional piercer at First Class Tattoos in NYC: Walk-ins welcome
Specialties: Peircings

"Piercing is where medicine meets art.

With a background in both fields, I bring medical precision and artistic vision to every piece of work.

I came to piercing through medicine and art. Medical university gave me precision and knowledge of anatomy; art university taught me to see the body as a canvas for self-expression. Combining these two paths shaped my personal vision of body modification.

Further training in Europe allowed me to learn from masters of different schools and refine my own unique technique.

Since 2007, I have been working in studios where sterilization is upheld as an absolute standard, and every piercing is treated as a piece of fine jewelry. For me, piercing is never just an accessory - it becomes part of one’s identity.

My knowledge and skills are supported by diplomas, certificates, and licenses. But what defines my work most is reputation: precision, privacy, and aesthetics elevated to an art form." - Gera
