Triple, or even Quadruple piercings at once, w/Scaffold 1.6mm & Both Lobes w/1.2mm titanium bars.
Lobe Piercings
Lobe Piercing Action…
George had never been pierced before, so decided on getting his lobes pierced with the idea to stretch them in future…
Here’s El Capitan VS. George w/some ear lobe piercing action.
- Blue pen out, marking up; all important to get the positioning aesthetically pleasing as well as level and straight.
For a first piercing, George looks pretty relaxed.
- Clamp the lobe with a mini clamp and pierced w/1.6mm needle.
Now all smiles…
- After removing the needle from the canula, snip the canula down at an angle to bite the jewellery thread.
Right side done. Now for the pair…
Left side done.
- Fit the jewellrey into the suspended canula and ease through the pierced lobe leaving just the bar, thread fix the ball on to finish.
George was pierced w/1.6mm x 8mm blackline titanium labret bars w/5mm balls.
All in all, George took it well and enjoyed his first piercing experience ~ no doubt, no less @ Shiva Piercings w/El Capitan.
Special Thanks to Kelly Fitzsimmons for taking the photographs.

Lobe w/Needle
Ear Lobe & Lower Cartilage
Ear Lobe & Triple Top Ear
Here’s two customers from last summer in the original shop, left side is an ear lobe piercing whilst on the right is a triple pierced top ear. Great fun, you meet a lot of kool people visiting Greenwich n’ London in general.
Various Work…
Everything here was pierced by myself over the course of a couple of years on this lovely client, including the rook w/1.2mm x 8mm curved bar, tragus w/1.2mm x 8mm labret bar, lobe w/1.2mm x 8mm bar, conch w/1.6mm x 10mm bar and the top ear/rim cartilage w/1.2mm x 8mm bar. If you are new to what I do, like with any business continued and returning custom should speak volumes; it’s also really kool to create an astronomical universe of metal!
