Presenter Bio:
Karmelit has been an active member of the BDSM community since 2013 and joined the San Diego scene in 2017. Her fascination with needles started in 2014 after a needle tasting, and she has been hooked on sharps as a top and bottom since! In 2022, Karmelit started diving into the more artistic side of needles, including making her own designs, developing education handouts, and building a comprehensive needle play toolbox. Karmelit also attended Reign of Blood 2024 as part of her continuing education.
When Karmelit is not busy poking people with needles, she serves as the Vice President and Treasurer of Club X San Diego and assists with the the L.I.C.K Library.

COVID-19
While COVID-19 continues to circulate globally, currently there is significantly less risk of severe illness, hospitalization and death compared to earlier in the pandemic.
Club X encourages its members and guests to be vaccinated if possible to Covid-19 and to be current on their booster shots as applicable, to protect themselves against serious illness, hospitalization, and death.
Club X encourages members to consider wearing high-quality masks if they are at elevated risk, as a courtesy to others, and as a matter of personal responsibility, we request anyone who has been knowingly exposed to Covid-19 wear a high quality mask for 10 days and get tested on day 5 as recommended by the current CDC guidelines.
Do not attend Club X in-person events if you know or suspect you are Covid positive, or otherwise ill, and isolate in accordance with CDC guidelines.
Club X reserves the right to require masking at an event if requested by the presenter. We will designate such events with “masks required” in the title.
This policy is subject to change by the board as local, state and national conditions warrant it.
