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
