About this episode
In a deep-dive conversation on The Ash Said It Show, elite piercer Kyle Sanchez of Once in a Blue Moon Tattoo pulls back the curtain on the precision, myths, and evolving trends of the body modification world. From their humble beginnings to the high-stakes decisions made in the studio, Kyle offers a masterclass in professional piercing. Kyle opens up about their entry into the industry, describing a journey fueled by a passion for the intersection of aesthetic art and human anatomy. It wasn’t just about the jewelry; it was about the transformative power of a well-placed piercing and the dedication required to master a craft where "near enough" is never good enough. Looking ahead at the 2026 landscape, Kyle reveals that the trend at Once in a Blue Moon Tattoo is moving toward High-Detail Curated Symmetry. Think intricate, mirrored placements—such as double nostrils or paired eyebrow piercings—styled with ultra-fine, custom-tapered gold. The focus has shifted from "more is better" to "precision is everything." One of the toughest parts of the job is navigating the "Anatomy Talk." When a client’s heart is set on a piercing their body simply won’t support, Kyle relies on radical honesty and education. The Approach: Showing the client why their tissue or bone structure might cause rejection or migration. The Pivot: Kyle views a "no" as an opportunity to suggest a "custom alternative"—a piercing that honors the client’s vibe while ensuring long-term health and safety. The biggest mistake Kyle sees that ruins a perfectly good piercing? Over-cleaning with harsh chemicals. Many clients mistakenly use alcohol, peroxide, or "piercing solutions" containing additives. This dries out the skin and kills the good bacteria needed for recovery. Golden rule: LITHA (Leave It The Heck Alone) and stick to a simple, sterile saline mist.
