Sternum Micro Dermal on a real sweet lady, literally she owned a cake shop! 🙂

This is 2011 I think… and of all the places to anchor a dermal; this is definitely one of the most aesthetically pleasing and heals pretty well so I really like doing them. Obviously with dermals and piercings in general; try not to catch them!

Surface Piercing w/PTFE

A hip/waist Surface Piercing w/PTFE

Here’s an early surface piercing on the hip/waist. Note, for all surface piercings I only pierce with PTFE plastic, so to allow room for swelling due to the bar being flexible, more comfortable and in general gives it a better chance of healing. One it’s healed, return to trim the plastic down and in some cases (areas of the body) you can change to a metal bar. However it has to be said, surface piercings in general do have a high rejection rate and can naturally migrate. Depends on the body part, depends on the individual, depends on if you look after it.

Custom Work w/BCR

Custom Work: Double Cartilage Piercing w/BCR.

This was the first (2011) and rare a time I do this. Usually I would recommend bars only and in some cases, one piercing at a time for some people; but this was two piercings done at the same time and fitted with a BCR (Ball Closure Ring) It’s kind of hard to do because if you don’t get your measurements right, it can warp/stress the ear and inevitably get infected/never heal. This was however perfect and healed accordingly.

Here’s a shot of Rick’s lip (labret) and eyebrow piercings and his review on Google:

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have had a few piercings done there now, Tragus, rim, transverse lobe, labrerte and eyebrow. Staff were brilliant, I am just figuring out what to have next.”

Here’s a long shot of some early daze work on my old friend Rick. A collection of tragus, top ear and some more custom work with my first translobe/industrial lobe piercing(s).

As this was custom work we had to wait and see the results of healing as any Industrial/Scaffold piercing can take it’s time. However in this case the bar was starting to grow outwards from the tragus, so here is a photo reworked with 1.6mm PTFE plastic. We also changed the balls to plastic to make the jewellery overall more lighter to give it a better chance to heal. Notice the considerable swelling, have to say this client was brilliant and I am only more than happy to try something piercing wise that is a challenge.
