Without doubt the belly button piercing is still one of the most popular at Shiva and never a better time, than Spring! Nynke’s navel pierced w/1.6mm x 12mm titanium curved bar and a siam/blood-red gem stone by El Capitan @ Shiva Piercings.
Piercings
Lip/Labret
I’ve known the wonderful Viviene since way back when, I originally started at Shiva; before piercing. Was an absolute pleasure to pierce this amazing lady again, V’s central lip (labret) piercing w/1.6mm x 10mm blackline titanium and a clear gem stone for that shimmering shine. Nothing better than the regular wanderers wondering ’round Greenwich, one of many I feel honored to have connected with over the years.
Double Nose
I’d pierced Layla’s nose a couple years back and she had since switched to a 10mm ring. Layla wanted a second nose piercing, so we switched the 10mm ring down to a 0.8mm x 6mm seamless ring and pierced behind the initial (healed) piercing w/titanium clear gem stone j-claw stud. This matches the current cheek dimples stone wise, and when the nose has healed; either an 8/10mm ring will look awesome alongside to create a pair.
Navel
Eloise’s navel pierced w/1.6mm x 12mm purple anodised titanium curved bar by El Capitan @ Shiva Piercings. We offer a wide range of titanium belly button bars that we pierce with, solid and jeweled. The navel has forever been a popular piercing and Spring is a good time to pierce, as healing usually takes anywhere between three-six months; so with summer coming…
Double Helix’
Rosie returned for a second top-ear piercing and a jewellery switch up on a healed piercing I did a year ago. A healed helix w/1.2mm x 10mm segment ring and a fresh addition underneath pierced w/1.2mm x 8mm titanium bar. I’ve always thought two up top contrasted nicely, especially when you can change the jewellery for something more you; whatever your taste.

Triple Cartilage
Serena came to see me with a logistically defying gun pierced scaffold… I cannot stress anymore how important it is to pierce needle only, an industrial with a gun is just horrific. You can see on the top of the ear where the former scaffold was, how blown out the ear has become and the angle was a) so off, and b) the lower ear rim just wasn’t possible to pierce in that way. That (shorter) bar (I replaced the scaffold with) is in line with the lower two of the top two I added/rather than in line with the top! Yet the scar is in line with the top bar… The ear had got so angry that a whole half of the scaffold bar had submerged and looked as though it was going through the actual ear. Up on my advice and me removing the bar, Serena treated her ear to a point it was way healthier and pierceable in a professional and safe manner. I first pierced the lower part of the ear cartilage and several weeks later added the two top additions. Pierced w/1.2mm x 8mm titanium only bars. Needle only piercings. Safe to say Serena has been back since and is healing well to my knowledge.
