Dermal Anchor / Chest/Collarbone (Customer’s Photo)
Here’s a dermal anchor alongside/under the collarbone, top of the chest. The top is a titanium ball, round not flat like the gem stones. This was a customers photo (Thanks Martha!) for which later, I’ll add a customer photo section when I have more time…
Medusa Piercing
This is a Medusa (philtrum) piercing and is done central just above the lip. Pierced with 1.6mm labret stud/bar, usually around 10/12mm so to allow for initial swelling; as with lip piercing, return in 2-4 weeks for a shorter bar once the swelling has gone.
Captain’s Self Pierced Septum
I pierced my own septum about a year into piercing, though this septum shot is from last year. I pierced my septum with a 1.2mm x 8mm CBB and would say it healed within a month. Won’t lie, it was the only one of my piercings that actually hurt, but then I believe pain is mostly in the mind and as it’s a mental thing; I don’t think you can lie to yourself thus you feel it.. I think I’d recommend this body piercer!? ; ) Within the year I changed it down to this 1mm x 6mm seamless ring which is pretty discreet.
Tools of the Trade
Here’s a basic set-up for a piercing in my studio. Top left, torch, spare pen and KY-Jelly. A mirror, measuring gauge and my making up pen. Then tools wise from left to right, clamps, scissors, grips and a needle. I’m all set, are you?
Smile
This is a smiley piercing, which is the frenulum within your mouth behind your upper lip. I pierce these with a 1.2mm x 8mm CBB although I can use a bar if you wish to keep it discreet or are worried about your teeth. These look awesome, are real popular and a lot of fun to do. Depends how big your frenulum is in regards to if you can get it done, but it does add a bit of bite to a smile!

Piercing, is like Guinness
This is a shot of me in Ireland, working festivals; 2010. I also really like Guinness, if you’re asking…
All three of Chris’ awesome piercings were done by myself. Tragus, Lower Cartilage and a 10mm Stretch.
