An up and coming piercer who has received several years training from various mentors (most noteably Samppa Von Cyborg) but still considers herself a 'Piercer with L Plates' due to the fractured nature of her training.

Very active in the online community Ku is responsible for the free piercing advice site Titanium's Enthralled which offers a piercing agony-aunt advice service to people with problem piercings. She has also produced a series of aftercare guides which have been distributed among health centres and piercing studios in the Uk and is concerned with promoting piercing education, especially among young people and parents.

Ku is currently in her final year of a theatre and writing BA at Dartington College of Arts and has been experimenting extensively with body art in performance, drawing on inspiration from artists such as Orlan and Vito Acconci to produce a series of portfolios and performances as part of her required credits.

Most recently Ku took part in a small performance with a select audience in Erith, Kent where she pierced through her webbed toes and posed for 20mins in a series of classic beauty poses in an attempt to acquire, expose and express beauty within toes seen by western society as ugly.

An online portfolio of her previous work is currently being complied and will hopefully be finished by winter 2010.
