Emily had dropped in to Tattoo 13 a few weeks before for a Nipple piercing and was so happy with it that she returned for a Septum piercing.
Emily’s Septum piercing w/1.2mm x 8mm CBB pierced by El Capitan @ Tattoo 13 in Soho.
As ever, thank you for your continued trust in doing what I do. It’s been real fun returning to piercing, something I will always love doing.

Alin’s double helix/upper lobe piercings – pierced by El Capitan @ Tattoo 13 in Soho.
Laura dropped by Tattoo 13 to add to her piercing collection for which I pierced a double helix either side of an existing helix piercing. The first and third smaller 3mm clear gemstones, were pierced by myself and the contrast looks awesome; alongside the cluster-shell piece Laura was rocking above the lobe!
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.
El Capitan
