Rings of Desire Angel to Mexico

RINGS OF DESIRE IS CLOSED PERMANENTLY AS OF MARCH 12, 2006 Updated 6/18/09

Questions and Answers:

Q: Where can I find Elayne Angel now that Rings of Desire is closed?

A: Angel has relocated to Merida, Mexico in the Yucatan! She has written and published The Piercing Bible--The Definitive Guide to Safe Body Piercing. If you are interested in watching Angel perform piercings, clips are available here. Piercers may also be interested in her monthly "Ask Angel" column in Pain Magazine.

Q: What about the B & B & P? (Bed & Breakfast & Piercing)
A: Due to a complex array of factors (not the least of which is water quality unsuitable for washing a fresh piercing) Angel is not going to open for business in Mexico. Because she wishes to share the amazing beauty of her new home as much as possible, the photos have remained up here. Enjoy!

Q: What if I want to get pierced by Angel?
A: Angel is doing guest piercing around the country. Sign up for her email list to be notified about her upcoming plans. Pat Roig, her Senior Piercer of the last 10 + years has opened a studio in New Orleans. See address below. Angel highly recommends him for quality piercings and jewelry. Check the Referrals Page and the Piercers Angel has Trained page for other piercers Angel suggests elsewhere. Also look for members of the Association of Professional Piercers here.
(Please don't email me for other referrals--all the information I have for you is on those pages!)

Q: What about Angel's other business Chi-wa-wa Ga-ga the "Small Store for Dinky Dogs"?
A: Chi-wa-wa Ga-ga has moved to 511 Dumaine Street (between Decatur and Chartres). It is still open from noon to 6 pm daily in the French Quarter of New Orleans. And you can still shop online at www.chiwawagaga.com.
