. . .

I just wanted to take an opportunity to offer a wider range heart felt thank you to everyone I met over the many years, body piercing.

From everyone I worked with, learned from, fellow body piercers and tattoo artists…

There are too many people to thank individually, but you all know who you are.

To each and everyone that I ever pierced, hundreds if not thousands of you after working full time, five or six days a week at times; over eight years. Thank you for your trust and your support.

For that inspired me to be the best I could, at times leaving it all in the studio.

Working in a well established studio Shiva and helping it grow even bigger during my time is something I am proud of, as much as I was in helping out at the newly opened 2nd Skin.

You all left an impression and made piercing a pleasure and an incredible joy.

There is only so long you can do something on repetition, before you become the definition of madness. Before something starts to define you.

I had other opportunities to work in other studios both in London and in other countries. Perhaps one day a touring guest spot…

Never say never, but I am pretty thankful for what piercing gave me; in return for all those needles. If my needles were my arrows then I went to war for you people!

Thank you!

It was a blast! A lot of hard work and dedication, it was truly an honour and a privilege.

Treat each other as you yourself, would like to be treated. That can take you at least half the way in life…

All Love.

That time when I pierced Kelly (yet again) a lobe drift in blackline titanium. The first piercing, in the new Shiva Piercing Studio; January 2014.

Kelly's Daith Piercing

Kelly’s Daith Piercing

My fellow piercer Kelly has a fair collection of blackline jewellery in both ears, on her right ear I recently  added a CBB to her daith. It’s easy to spot as it’s central, pierced w/1.2mm x 10mm CBB (Circular Bar Bell) horseshoe ring. This is a great photo and advert for body piercing, though after deliberation we figured this is the first thing I’ve pierced on Kelly’s right ear. Kelly herself has been piercing for a couple of years and you can view some of her work @ http://www.instagram.com/pinholepiercings 😷🚬💉

Flattened road kill chewing gum always reminds me, for some reason; of pennies n’ coins in a wishing well… Something about broken dreams, I’m sure.

If I sill had any left; to break.
