Various Blackline Work
Various Blackline Work – Cheeks, Angelbites, Stretched Medusa, Stretched Snakebites.
Bill is another returning customer who I always enjoy piercing. Everything here was pierced by me at various points over the years w/1.6mm blackline titanium. In this photo the cheeks are still 1.6mm w/6mm balls, whilst the angelbites (double monroe) are 1.6mm w/5mm balls. The medusa (in the middle, under the septum) has been stretched to an 8mm plug whilst the snakebites (double lip piercings) have been stretched here to 12mm plugs. Hardcore.
Top Ear
Top Ear Piercing
Here’s another top ear, pierced again w/1.2mm x 8mm titanium bar. However, notice the difference in positioning. You can basically pierce the top ear cartilage in two ways. Either through the ear so the back is hidden for a discreeter look, or this way, the ‘rim’ whereby both balls are visible. Each ear and each individual customer, dictates and can choose which style/finish they prefer.

Eyebrow
Eyebrow Piercing
Eyebrow piercing w/1.6mm x 10mm titanium curved bar. I usually pierced eyebrows with 1.6mm, by 10 or 12mm either a curved or straight bar; your choice. I can and have pierced with 1.2mm but in those cases I will pierce with a much longer bar 1.2mm x 12/14mm due to the fact 1.2mm jewellery is obviously smaller and as such, smaller balls run a greater/easier risk of getting embedded if there is persistent swelling.
