Becca's Nose Piercing

Becca’s Nose Piercing

Becca’s nose pierced w/titanium cone/mini-spiked head. Nose piercing is also still as popular as ever, I always advise wearing the initial jewellery whilst cleaning twice daily; for around three months post-piercing. Usually within three or four months, if healing well a ring or alternative jewellery can be switched. Sometimes however, a piercing (nose or otherwise) can take up to a year to fully heal… so be patient whilst healing, persistent when cleaning and conscious of whatever future metal you may wish to wear.

Shiva has been lucky enough to have the incredibly talented and genuinely sweet Igor Puente guest tattooing last couple weeks.

Igor usually tattoos in Madrid, Spain; but is with us until February 17th.

We’d all like to thank him, wish him well and hope to see him again somewhen.

Rosie’s Double Helix Piercings

Rosie returned for a second top-ear piercing and a jewellery switch up on a healed piercing I did a year ago. A healed helix w/1.2mm x 10mm segment ring and a fresh addition underneath pierced w/1.2mm x 8mm titanium bar. I’ve always thought two up top contrasted nicely, especially when you can change the jewellery for something more you; whatever your taste.

Self-Pierced Septum w/Kliq

Self-Pierced Septum w/Kliq

So I stretched my self pierced septum from a 0.8 x 6mm seamless ring to one of our new 1.6mm septum clickers. Mainly for jokes. Also to consider the fact that I mainly pierce septums with 1.2mm CBBs unless a request is made for 1.6mm. As all the new septum clickers that we sell are 1.6mm I thought I’d make the stretch/jump to see how it felt. I usually wear a way more discreeter seamless ring (as there’s enough metal in my nose) and again, the clicker is something I would only fit post healed piercing. Mine was fine doing/stretching it, myself (pain is in the mind) but it was real sore for like two days(ish) after… That blocked up, pseudo-cold feeling. Clickers not quite me but I think this style of jewellery has been one of the main reasons the septum is easily one of the most popular piercings last couple years. I’ll wear it a couple weeks to ‘low the swelling etc. and I’ll admit these do look kool; we sell gem stoned clickers in clear, aqua and fuscia also. £9.99 each or I’ll happily fit one bought elsewhere for the Shiva £3.50 fitting charge.
