TRAINING + PRACTICE
How Matt Built His Piercing Practice
Matt came to piercing with a professional background in physical therapy and an existing career inside the Nina Wynn jewelry business. He then pursued piercing-specific education through formal courses and apprenticeship.
That combination shapes the way he works today: anatomy and placement are considered together; jewelry is treated as part of the procedure rather than an afterthought; and the client is given a clear plan for what happens after the piercing.
Experience in physical therapy created an early foundation in anatomy, precision and direct client care.
Completed multiple piercing courses focused on professional piercing technique and studio practice.
Trained under experienced piercers to build hands-on technique before leading services at Nina Wynn.
Thousands of real client appointments continue to refine consultation, technique, jewelry fit and follow-up.

MATTHEW’S APPROACH TO PROFESSIONAL PIERCING
Technique, Jewelry Fit & Follow-Up Matter Together
Matt’s approach to professional ear piercing is built around the full piercing journey, from anatomy and placement through initial jewelry, healing support and future fit adjustments.
Anatomy-Aware Placement
The goal is not to copy a placement from a photograph. The ear in front of the piercer determines what is practical.
Sterile Single-Use Needle Technique
Nina Wynn professional piercing services use sterile single-use needles rather than reusable piercing guns.
Jewelry as Part of the Procedure
Material, gauge, post length, polish and closure are considered alongside the decorative top.
Aftercare + Follow-Up
Clients should understand how to care for the piercing and when professional follow-up or downsizing may be appropriate.
PIERCING EDUCATOR
Teaching the Professional Side of Ear Piercing
Matt also teaches aspiring professionals through Nina Wynn’s piercing education program, where he helps translate studio experience into practical training.
Current Nina Wynn Pro piercing education covers ear anatomy, tools and equipment, jewelry systems, sterilization, studio setup, professional needle technique, client consultation and aftercare. Matt’s role connects those subjects to the realities of working with clients every day.
His teaching philosophy is practical: understand why a technique works, know what can go wrong, and build repeatable habits that support both safety and a high-quality client experience.
