Why Choose Fakir Intensives?

The Fakir Musafar Foundation continues the tradition of passing on knowledge gained and refined over the past 32 years of instruction. We have trained many of the most respected piercers and branders in the industry. Our methods are time-tested and refined, so you are able to maximize your learning during a five-day or two-day course. We don't present the ideas, methods or views of just a handful of isolated piercers or branders—we are a network of hundreds of working professionals who exchange information on a regular basis. We are constantly updating and improving our courses as well as developing instructor skills and course materials. We teach the fundamental principles that some of the best body piercers and branders in the world have used to get their start.
