I felt so powerless. I felt devastated. I felt like everything that I worked for in life and everything that I was against in life was just going to be me.

Everything I worked for, like my mental health therapy was like really hard during that time because I was trying to work through things that, you know, trauma and situations in my childhood, all this stuff was happening every day that was like taking away from that.

I was just focusing on the things that I needed to help me grow and be a better person because I was just always worried about this other person showing up in my life.

I'm Jamie B.D.

And I'm Jake Deptula. On today's episode of Strickly Stock and We're Chatting with Service, a professional body piercer gamer and social media influencer who became the target of a dangerous woman.

Immediately after starting his own podcast, Service was approached by the wife of a friend he knew from the gaming community.

She began taking an obsessive interest in his activities in life and after discovering her bad temper and dramatic behavior, Service messaged her that he no longer wanted contact with her.

Service caught her driving by his house at all hours of the night. One night while out walking, she began following him in her car. When he started recording the incident, she's squirmed and tried to hit him with her car.

She used social media to post videos of his neighborhood, house in the path he walked every night. Service eventually moved, but his stalker and her new husband then moved only a block away from his new apartment.

Service turned to the police to get a protective order but learned that she had already made police reports stating that he was harassing her.

Service, thank you for joining us today.

That's going to be here. I'm excited to be here and have listened to the podcast before. Every story is unique. Every situation is unique.

And so to be able to share my story and maybe help others in a situation as crazy as this or as anxious as this, it's the only way, you know, like the only way to get some information out.

It is and that's definitely our goal as well. Tell us a little bit about growing up and how you got to where you are today.

I'm originally from Montana. I grew up in a low income single mother family and I was always the black sheep or the odd kid out. I never really wanted to live that Montana lifestyle.

I was the only person in my family graduated from high school. I did some college and I ended up becoming very heavily tattooed and doing body piercings for a living, which even though my family all had tattoos and we're getting tattooed before I did.

The fact that I started getting heavily tattooed was like kind of against the norm. And so that didn't really aid into who I became as an adult. And so I wanted to kind of do the social media influencer hustle and created a brand and been piercing in New York City, London, England, Chicago Illinois, L.A.

I've been a board member of piercings associations and have really helped the community and I'm just here and just living the lifestyle, but in a really super positive way trying to be different than everybody around while doing the same thing. It's like a kind of a purple cow sing.

It's really cool because I think that there is a stigma around people that are covered in tattoos and body piercers and things like that. What types of positive things in the community have you been doing?

I make a joke often about body piercing and tattooing is that a lot of people come from broken homes and they're usually people that don't really like authority. Some of them are even high school dropouts and they're just trying to do their own thing.

Like trying to like march to their own beat, but they don't allow people in and they're not really accepting.

I think that the piercing and tattooed community is very judgmental and not very accepting to other people outside of it.
