Double Nose Piercings
Double Nose Piercings
This returning customer had both sides of her nose pierced at the same time. Always fun, always a pleasure and two at once is a slight challenge; but like all piercings it’s within the marking up. I also changed the septum ring although that was not pierced by me. Both nose studs on the outside of either nostril, were pierced by myself.
Nose
Nose Piercing
Nose piercing, Summer 2013 w/titanium gem nose stud. Easily one of the most popular piercing requests, a favourite of mine because they are so quick to do. I don’t pierce with rings and advise wearing the original titanium corkscrew stud for three months minimum.
Tragus
Tragus Piercing
Great shot of a tragus pierced w/1.2mm x 8mm labret bar.
Nipple Piercing
Nipple Piercing
Here is a nipple piercing for which I only pierce with a 1.6mm needle. The length of the bar, like with most piercings but especially for the nipple; will be longer than needed to accommodate initial swelling. The nipple can be one of the longer healing parts of the body to pierce, although I have to say men tend to heal a lot quicker (roughly within 3-6 months) whilst women can take longer (6-12 months) due to the area being more sensitive and obviously functioning differently. Nipples do require a lot of attention regarding aftercare, but a shorter bar or a ring can be fitted when it’s fully healed.
The Ashleigh Piercing
The Ashley Piercing ~ Inverse Vertical Lip.
The Ashley/Ashleigh piercing is an inverse vertical lip. I’ve pierced countless lips and several vertical lips, but this was my first and only request for the Ashley. The needle goes through your actual lip and with this we used PTFE plastic due to heavy swelling for the first few days. Once it settled down I think Lisa later changed it for a metal bar. It looks killer and I imagine pretty painful. Very proud of this piece.
