Robert Olson moved to Iowa in October 1998 from San Diego, California. Born and raised in California, there are many things here in Iowa Robert enjoys like fishing, hiking, wildlife, winter weather, and the friendly people. When Robert moved here he had been in his career (tow truck driving) for 13 years. It was time for a change. He began working in the construction field doing finish work in beautiful custom homes. During the next year his interest in body modification grew. When Robert heard there was soon to be an opening for a body piercer at Crossroads, he started his training. He was trained by two different body piercers in the area. He also attended the annual Association of Professional Piercers conference in Las Vegas to take several classes and gain certification from them including; jewelry standards, jewelry size & style, anatomy #1 & #2, anthropology & urban legend, and grounding & bedside manner. Robert continues to research (the internet and written materials) and learn all he can within his new career. Robert has a great personality and is very knowledgeable about piercing. He is a welcome asset to the studio, and will make your piercing experience a great one!
