| Steel Skin has its roots in sunny Southern California.
In 1996, founder Dennis Kaping was running a piercing studio where he found himself discontent with the quality and availability of body
jewelry.
|
 |
| At that time the piercing industry was still young and options were few.
The son of a dentist, Dennis was familiar with the qualities of dental acrylic and got it in his head that he could introduce the material to body
jewelry and produce a superior product. Dental Acrylic is both strong and bio-compatible, not to mention available in a variety of colors. This
innovative idea launched Steel Skin and was a catalyst to other innovations such as the dental acrylic balls (dental acrylic cast around a special
threaded insert) and our famous one-piece ball design (each ball is machined from a single piece of 316 LVM or Titanium 6AL 4V Eli). For
over 10 strong years Steel Skin has done business in this exact spirit of innovation and is committed to providing the piercing community with
premium quality unique designs. We are now located in Louisville Kentucky and are proud to say that 100% of our jewelry is manufactured
right here in the USA.

the body jewelry industry.

to our brand.
Specializing in unique and patented designs, Steel Skin has been recognized for its attention to precision engineering and standards of quality and
safety.
Steel Skin remains the first and only manufacturer to offer a one-piece ball design. Further, our introduction of Dental Acrylic to the
industry has become widely familiar and popular. Both have yet to be imitated or duplicated by our competitors.
With hundreds of items in our product catalog, including well over 200 logo designs, Steel Skin is constantly innovating new designs and broadening
the scope of our product offering.
As a member of the Association of Professional Piercers, Steel Skin can be found each year at the annual APP Convention in Las Vegas.

Steel Skin has been widely recognized by members of the piercing industry and industry publications for its innovation and high standards of
quality. Additionally, we receive countless emails from both wholesale and retail customers.

Most recently, Pain magazine did a Spotlight article on Steel Skin. In the May 2004 edition, the article
discusses a bit of our history, our pioneering use of dental acrylic, our one-piece ball, and our evolution line. More information on Pain
Magazine can be found at www.painmag.com |

Hi Dave,
I just wanted to thank you again for getting my order out so promptly when it became clear that something had gone wrong. I understand that
sometimes things happen and I have no problem waiting an extra week for a quality product like the ones you make, especially when I have the
pleasure of dealing with a representative like you who makes the process of righting the wrong so smooth and painless. Many other people in your
position would have treated me like a number and done nothing beyond what they were required to do in order to fix the problem, but I was very
impressed with the way you handled it.
