CATA DZUL

 

When Catalina was growing up, nontraditional piercings were not so common. As a young girl she was struck by the beauty of a girl who had three piercings on each of her earlobes. Catalina was so enamored with the girl’s piercings that it inspired her to put multiple piercings in her own ears. The multiple piercings made her feel beautiful and transformed. In her words, “the rest is history.” This was the start of her interest in the art of body modification and eventually led to her work as a body-piercing artist. 

​

Catalina is fascinated by body art and enjoys learning about the various ancient traditions and cultural motivations behind piercing. Catalina continues to explore how body piercing serves as both a modern-day spiritual and aesthetic statement for people from different backgrounds and walks of life.
