Fakir Musafar,grandfather of the Modern Primitive Movement and his prodigal son, Blake of Nomad visit the Nomad Jewelry Exhibition at the Portland Art Museum, 2011. Fakir and Blake are the only two piercers and industry pioneers to contribute CULTURALLY (through their books, media and lectures) to their industry, and this exhibit is the ONE OF it's kind in the history of the industry. Blake and Fakir are the only two guys of their genre to take it to the "next level" and educate non-industry people. This exhibition has had over A HALF MILLION VISITORS in the last 3 years! It was a huge honor conducting a Tour for Fakir and his wife at this special exhibit. Watch for video coming soon! This is a MUST SEE for piercers who actually care about the cultural origins of the industry they work in.

In 2016, Blake was invited to teach two classes (Piercing Children and History of Piercing) in Tlaxcala Mexico. He was also presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award for major contributions to the art of BODY Piercing. Being an International educator is a huge honor for a piercer and teaching about the history of adorning children is also culturally significant with HALF of Nomad's clients being kids.
