Rings of Desire Angel to Mexico

RINGS OF DESIRE IS CLOSED PERMANENTLY AS OF MARCH 12, 2006 Updated 5/9/07

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 is writing a comprehensive book about piercing that is directed to consumers of piercing services, and those who deal with them. If you would like to be notified when the book is ready and have not yet signed up for her mailing list, you can do so here. 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: Sorry, but that is not possible at this time. 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 is still open from noon to 6 pm daily in the French Quarter of New Orleans. The location is the same, and you can still shop online at www.chiwawagaga.com.
