Sternum Dermal
An awesome shot in the old studio of a freshly pierced micro dermal anchor, lower throat/top of the sternum. I really like this but I wear too many chains and would probably catch it personally. However in terms of healing this guy had no problems.

Jake’s Top Ear w/gold titanium
Top ear cartilage piercing on Jake, who works @ Shiva w/1.2mm x 8mm gold titanium. Work with good people in Greenwich. 😷👊
Double Nose Piercings
This returning customer had both sides of her nose pierced at the same time. Always fun, always a pleasure and two at once is a slight challenge; but like all piercings it’s within the marking up. I also changed the septum ring although that was not pierced by me. Both nose studs on the outside of either nostril, were pierced by myself.
Nose Piercing
Nose piercing, Summer 2013 w/titanium gem nose stud. Easily one of the most popular piercing requests, a favourite of mine because they are so quick to do. I don’t pierce with rings and advise wearing the original titanium corkscrew stud for three months minimum.
Tragus Piercing
Great shot of a tragus pierced w/1.2mm x 8mm labret bar.

Nipple Piercing
Here is a nipple piercing for which I only pierce with a 1.6mm needle. The length of the bar, like with most piercings but especially for the nipple; will be longer than needed to accommodate initial swelling. The nipple can be one of the longer healing parts of the body to pierce, although I have to say men tend to heal a lot quicker (roughly within 3-6 months) whilst women can take longer (6-12 months) due to the area being more sensitive and obviously functioning differently. Nipples do require a lot of attention regarding aftercare, but a shorter bar or a ring can be fitted when it’s fully healed.
Tongue Pierced
Here’s a freshly pierced tongue w/1.6mm x 20mm titanium bar, which is what I pierce with and advise wearing for a minimum of two weeks before returning for a shorter bar.
