About Olly
Since starting his piercing career, Olly has been influenced by far more people within the body art industries than could be mentioned here. But his real thirst for knowledge started when he discovered the APP (Association of Professional Piercers) and, later, the UKAPP organisations, which both offer the chance for piercers to connect, attend conferences and take in-person seminars provided by industry peers. Olly would eventually go on to teach at the UKAPP-arranged events, allowing him to impart his knowledge and to meet other incredible piercers from around the world. This, coupled with his frustration over the lack of industry specific training available online, is what inspired him to establish Cognition in 2021 and improve the education available within the body art industry as a whole.
