“I have been doing this since July of 2016,” Terrell told the Indiana Minority Business Magazine. “I used to be a business consultant, but I ended up falling in love with body piercing. As for body jewelry, that is a different story.” 

Terrell said she learned to love body jewelry once she discovered the ‘metalwork of the practice. 
 

“Metalwork is an art form,” Terrell said. “You have to take high-quality metals and high-quality stones and find a balance while making sure that piece is perfect for the client. I think that is the beautfiul part of body jewelry.”
