Fakir Body Piercing Intensive Workshops

Fakir Body Piercing Intensive Workshops Fakir's Body Piercing Intensive Workshops have provided safe, accurate, and spiritual body piercing education since 1991.

We continually update our courses and materials to inspire and motivate the next generation of body artists. Fakir Musafar, a Master Piercer and Shaman with over 40 years experience in the body arts, built a legacy by championing ancient practices while co-developing many of the techniques used in modern body piercing and branding. His personal explorations began in 1948, and continued on through

the '70s and '80s in collaboration with contemporary body piercers in North America and Europe. Fakir created these Fakir Intensives workshops in 1991, and spent nearly three decades instructing and refining an approach for teaching safe, sophisticated, and spiritual body piercing and branding. He truly earned his title: "Father of the Modern Primitive Movement". Fakir's body piercing workshops are the only comprehensive courses of instruction available today for those who would prepare themselves to do skilled, safe, aesthetically pleasing, and sophisticated body piercing. All courses are intensive, one-on-one instruction tailored to the individual student. Classes are limited to twelve or fewer students with the serious attention of experienced instructors. Upon completion of courses, attendees recieve an attractive certificate to validate attendance and indicate their exposure to sophisticated skills. Course materials include all necessary tools & supplies and a workbook with drawings, diagrams, and information on technique, aesthetics, special considerations, health & safety, and aftercare. Attendance requires students to spend anywhere from two to five days in the San Francisco Area.

Hey APP 2019 conference: the sticker game is on! (Gotta catch them all.) Fakir instructors are carrying stickers, so just ask! There are twelve in a complete set, and you can get the Intensives oval at the booth.

Finding them all? Few hints: the Fakir sticker is available from the artist who drew the characters, and he's married to one of the instructors. Jori sticker is available from the Abyss (think: Utah). Tod's not here, but his stickers might be at work.

Pre-orders all come with a set, but don't let that stop you from playing, and please post your stickered-up stuff for us to see!

We had a great first day here at APP 2019! Got to reconnect with so many past, present, and future Fakir family, friends, and supporters. It's been really fun to share the Fakir merchandise we worked so hard to create, and feel the outpouring of love for Fakir. We'll be here through Friday sharing booth 21 with Phoenix Revival Jewelry, and we have custom Fakir cheek spears, hoodies, t-shirts, and sarongs* available. All proceeds support the non-profit we are creating to continue Fakir's mission to teach safe, sophisticated, and spiritual body arts.



* sarongs are technically available next week, but we're including/combining shipping if you purchase them at conference.

Fakir designed and built the cheek spears we've used at rituals all these years. His design is inspired by those that he brought back from travels to Singapore and Malaysia, but crafted to be studier--to hold up to ecstatic, energetic dancing. It is a dream come true to have finally produced this all-stainless cheek and third eye spear set, true to his design and intent.

Well be selling the first (limited) run at our booth ( #21) at APP this week. These were designed, assembled, and packaged by the Fakir Intensives team based on Fakir's original "prototypes" and direction. All proceeds from sales support the Fakir Musafar Foundation. Come by and let us know what you think!

Happy Birthday Fakir! Though it's difficult to express how much we miss you, today we celebrate the eighty-eight revolutions you spent with us here on the Earth. And as you now walk in the unseen world, we cherish you by walking here with painted toes! If you taught us anything, it's that the body should be decorated, celebrated, and enjoyed. Thank you! Namaste.
