| El Capitan ⚡ Kelly Fitzsimmons ⚡ Shanice Jones |
This is a shot from Kelly’s last Sunday at Shiva – and it was an absolute honour and a pleasure to work with and pierce Kelly, for so many years; and to also call her my friend. Will really miss our Sunday Fundays wit’ the ladies… Kelly’s work piercing over the last couple years was awesome and the professional piercing world as well as us left at Shiva, will shed a tear for another year and raise a glass…
Good Luck Lil’ Lady! 👊✖✌✖❤✖💉

Clare’s Septum Piercing w/1.2mm x 8mm Titanium CBB.

Here’s Clare’s septum piercing w/contrasting jewellery. Originally pierced w/1.2mm x 8mm titanium CBB, upon healing we switched it down to a 0.8mm x 6mm steel seamless ring. Dainty, discreet and cute.
Second (of lower three) Lobe Drift Piercing
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.
Serena’s Triple Ear Cartilage Piercings
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.
Jan’s Rook & Conch Piercings
Jan’s double piercings look sweet! Rook pierced w/1.2mm x 8mm titanium curved bar and conch pierced w/1.6mm x 10mm titanium bar.
Amy’s Scaffold Piercing
Amy’s industrial scaffold piercing w/1.6mm x 36mm titanium bar, pierced as always with one needle – straight as an arrow! Trying to vary up shots and angles, and this really captures the piercing what with the swelling and blood rush to the head/ear! Heavy duty piercing which I love doing; requires attention n’ patience whilst healing.
Danielle’s Top Ear & Tragus Piercings
Danielle’s tragus freshly pierced w/1.2mm x 8mm titanium labret bar, whilst I also pierced her top ear/rim a few years ago. It’s a pleasure and an honour to pierce all of my returning customers.
