Bash 2026

Curious about branding but can't have an open flame? Perhaps you have an insatiable appetite for witnessing a bottom’s sacrifice? (Okay, maybe that sounded a bit too intense...)

Cell-popping is a modern evolution of the ancient practice of body scarification. In this class, we’ll dive into the basics, covering safety essentials, and then give you the chance to experience it firsthand. Whether you're here for a hands-on session (we will have around 10-15 tips) or just want to watch the art unfold, we've got you covered.

Come ready to learn, explore, and perhaps embrace a little controlled chaos. After all, what's life without a little pop?

Needle play can be exhilarating on its own, but what about taking the experience with you after the scene ends? Many players hesitate to leave needles in place once play wraps up, yet with the right skills, needle play can become a stunning, temporary form of body art.

In this class, Ursus, with over 20 years of professional piercing experience, will teach techniques and materials for safely turning a needle play scene into a wearable artistic display during dungeon time or at events. We’ll cover designs such as needle necklaces, decorative corsets, and more. The session will conclude with an open Q&A where attendees can explore additional piercing concepts, creative layouts, and best practices.

Whether you’re an experienced practitioner or curious to expand your skill set, this class will help you elevate needle play into beautiful, safe, and memorable art.

We will cover negotiation, setup, staging, and cooldown after the scene.  Interrogations as a form of play can be difficult inside the community since physical intimidation can be a reward, and potentially an incentive to resist.  


Working with the headspace of the target is the key to a successful scene.
