So one Sunday the crew decides to go for some piercings after work, whilst we’re still in the old studio, no.24 Church St.

Here’s El Capitan VS. Miss Jones w/some tongue-web piercing action, which is the frenulum under the tongue.

• Open wide and use a mini-clamp to grip the frenulum.
• I used a 1.2mm needle, for which went through above, note my girl is ice kool.

Familiar to me because it’s what I do and I’d also pierced Shanice’s smiley at some point, the year before…

• Removing the needle and cutting down the canula.

I’ve pierced I think five of Shanice’s twelve piercings so far, so I am told…

• Fitting the jewellery, a 1.2mm x 8mm curved bar.

I usually pierce tongue-webs with a straight bar, the curved bar was a bit of a swerve ball angle wise and it’s a tricky piercing regardless.

• Trying to keep the bar steady when the mouth is filling up with saliva, to put the ball on; is a challenge.

The bar actually slid out at least twice due to the saliva drool build up, but Shanice was calm as standard.

• Once threaded, tighten that ball real good; so it doesn’t come off.

The tongue-web is the lower bar on show, 1.2mm x 8mm. The snake eyes/scoop piercing above; was not pierced by me. ✌

Special Thanks to Kelly Fitzsimmons for taking the photographs.
