Enter into the visceral and intoxicating world of Blood Play, where sensation and surrender meet danger and transcendence.

About the Class

Enter into the visceral and intoxicating world of Blood Play, where sensation and surrender meet danger and transcendence. From the sharp kiss of spiked implements to the intimate precision of cutting and cupping, we’ll explore how pain, pleasure, and power bleed together. For those who crave the sting, the drip, and the rush— this space is for you. Learn safety essentials, techniques, and the dark delicious creativity of drawing blood with intention. Whether you're a seasoned player or a curious explorer, come ready to revel in the exquisite agony of broken flesh. Each drop of blood is a story, a sacrifice, a thrill. This isn’t just play—it’s art, ritual, and raw intensity.

**There will be an explicit live demo including needles, impact play, cutting, and cupping not for the faint of heart**

Open to all genders, sexualities, and experience levels. Come and play!
