Bio

An experienced and licensed professional that has been working in the industry performing body piercings and body modifications since 2010. I have toured all over the country with national tattoo conventions, as well as lectured on Hook Suspension and Needle Play showcasing those skills nationwide. To me, it’s not just another piercing, loyalty is key with my clients and I believe each client’s experience is unique and personal. Therefore, the specifics and details of each client’s modification are not only important but is the basis of my quality work and open-minded attitude when providing them with personal fine body art.

Born to kink on International Sex Day, June 9th or 6/9 for short, The Rabbi (he/him) is a cisgender, ambimorous, gynesexual, sadistic bratty daddy dom. He has been called the “Prince of the Pervertables,” “The Pied Piper of Brats,” and “The Carrot Top of Kink.” (That last one was a compliment, right?) He creates his unique toys with a sadistic flair that would make the prop master on Cutthroat Kitchen jealous, including ceiling fan paddles, Lego nipple clamps, and a mop head flogger selling them online through the SINagogugeBDSM Etsy store. The Rabbi has electrocuted people with slinkys, broken all ten commandments (over someone’s ass), and hit people with everything he can get his hands on, including a literal kitchen sink. Currently, he’s a mental health professional with a sex therapist certification in progress and hopes to follow in the steps of early psychological pioneer, Wonder Woman creator, and polyamorous kinkster William Moulton Marston. With his partner, LilPonyBites, the Rabbi has presented both in-person and virtually for events from Coast to Coast (Wicked Grounds in San Fransisco to the Coastal Carolina Fetish Fair) and everywhere in between, including Frolicon, Planned Parenthood; Thrive Conference; Indiana Pet, Pup, and Trainer Contest; and many more. He currently is the educational program director and sits on the board of directors for the House of Bacchus in Columbus, Ohio. The Rabbi was the recipient of the 2022 Leather Leadership Conference New Leader Grant. Follow him on FetLife as SINagogueBDSM and find all other social media accounts at SINagogueBDSM.com.
