✦ Class Description ✦

This foundational class introduces the art and science of playing with needles and other sharp instruments within kink contexts. We'll focus on building a solid understanding of safer practices, anatomy, and consent while honoring the beauty, intensity, and intimacy of blood and sharps scenes.

Participants will learn:

• Types of sharps and their uses in kink
• Intro to risk profiles
• Essential supplies, setup, and aseptic technique
• Anatomy basics: understanding the skin
• Site selection, basic needle insertion and removal
• Infection control and prevention, cross-contamination prevention, and cleanup and disposal protocols

• Negotiation, communication, and aftercare for sharps scenes

This is your first step into the blood and sharps community!
