Ashleigh

Katie's Ashleigh Piercing

Katie’s Ashleigh Piercing

Have pierced Katie a fair bit over the years and this new addition, the ashleigh/ashley piercing; looks awesome! Pierced w/1.2mm x 12mm titanium labret bar and later changed down (shot here) for an 8mm labret bar. Internally threaded jewellery and PTFE are also good jewellery options to look into for anything on/around the lip. The ashleigh, goes directly through the lip horizontally; so expect some swelling if/when requesting this piercing.

Aisha’s Healed Lobes

Was an absolute pleasure to pierce the adorable little Yasmine’s ear lobes. I am always happy to pierce youngsters ears if as well as parental consent, the child can verbally ask themselves. I do not, never have and never will pierce babies, but I have pierced youngsters as young as five and six. If the child wants to be pierced and is as brave as the likes of little Yasmine, who was six at the time; then I am more than happy to pierce ear lobes. Yasmine’s lobes in the top two shots were pierced w/1.2mm titanium labret bars and red glitter disco balls. Yasmine was returning having followed her older sister Aisha, who I pierced a year before; who was eight at the time. Great to see happy and healed lobes in the last photo and again, always a pleasure to pierce little ones who laugh it off and see that pain is only in the mind. Little lobes, pierced by El Capitan @ Shiva Piercings.

*All piercings are 17 w/I.D. (will only accept passport/official photo I.D.) however under 17’s can be pierced with present parental written consent. Again to restate, I do not pierce babies and where as ear lobe piercing usually tends to be around eight or nine, ten years old and up; I will pierce those who want to be pierced. Babies and toddlers do not yet have a voice to provide consent nor is piercing them a good idea, in mine and most if not all professional piercers opinon. They will not sit still and the process could be traumatic for them. Also they are still growing, so let them do just that; naturally. I’m not in the business of hurting people, I take pleasure and pride in relaxed, painless, friendly and above all professional piercings.*

Inner-Pinner/Forward-Helix

Lisa's Inner-Pinner/Forward-Helix Piercing

Lisa’s Inner-Pinner/Forward-Helix Piercing

Here’s Lisa’s inner-pinner a few months after piercing. We pierced two preparing to do three, however the top one didn’t take. The healed existing one has been refitted w/1.2mm x 6mm labret bar and looks great. The forward-helix is an awesome piercing, however I never do a trio at once; despite regular requests. This is due to the healing, however with patience I’ve had clients return for the trio (and some continue for an overall rim wrap effect!) As I’ve known Lisa for years and pierced her before, I’m always happy to reopen piercings and if ever wanted; a central one can be added. Personally I quite like the look with one subtler, or a closer duo.
