Lobe Piercing Action…
Marking Up George.
George had never been pierced before, so decided on getting his lobes pierced with the idea to stretch them in future…
Here’s El Capitan VS. George w/some ear lobe piercing action.
- Blue pen out, marking up; all important to get the positioning aesthetically pleasing as well as level and straight.
Literally Lobe Piercing!
For a first piercing, George looks pretty relaxed.
- Clamp the lobe with a mini clamp and pierced w/1.6mm needle.
snip n’ smiles…
Now all smiles…
- After removing the needle from the canula, snip the canula down at an angle to bite the jewellery thread.

Tongue-Web Piercing Action…
work is like a Tarantino movie for Miss Jones
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.
Say “Aaaahh” one way or another…
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.
Ninja Dexterity
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.
Miss Jones & El Capitan
The bar actually slid out at least twice due to the saliva drool build up, but Shanice was calm as standard.
we tight like that…
- Once threaded, tighten that ball real good; so it doesn’t come off.
Shanice’s Tongue-Web Piercing
The tongue-web is the lower bar on show, 1.2mm x 8mm. The snake eyes/scoop piercing above; was not pierced by me. ✌
