Louie’s Ear Lobe Piercing
“Louie’s ear piercing today… The old way!” #Shiva #ElCapitan #BodyPiercer #EarPiercing
Love meeting the many great people that I do, doing what I do…
Pierced Louie’s ear lobe with a needle and a 1.6mm x 8mm blackline titanium labret bar; fitted backwards to look like a mini-stretched lobe.

Shoushylla’s Conch Piercing – Bar – Ring – Switch
The lovely Shoushylla had her conch pierced by me around six or so months ago… and so I switched the 1.6mm bar for a suncoat gold anodised titanium 1.6mm x 12mm segment ring. This looks awesome, once fully healed!

Pauline’s Arrow Scaffold Piercing
So Pauline came in with the request of being pierced w/jewellery she had bought with her. The gold coated titanium arrow bar came via Etsy but was only 30mm in length. So for healing/swelling purposes, I switched the arrow heads onto a 1.6mm x 34mm titanium bar. The 30mm should fit snug once it’s healed and I’m thankful for getting to picture some interesting jewellery. The gold/silver contrasts w/earrings and as I love doing industrial piercings, this was truly a pleasure.
Smiley
Joe’s Smiley Piercing
Joe came in for a smiley piercing and wanted a 1.6mm CBB to match his other jewellery. Bigger than I’d usually use but happy to oblige and it totally compliments his other piercings (not pierced by me.) Sound fella, this shot looks awesome!

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.
Nipple Piercing
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.
