Tosin’s Double Nose Piercings
Double Nose Piercings by El Capitan
Have pierced the lovely Tosin a few times over the years and here’s some great shots of her healed double nose piercings refitted w/0.8mm gold and black contrasting rings. It’s a continued pleasure to meet and pierce so many wonderful people, all with their own story to tell… I feel blessed, to hear so many of them.

Isaac’s Double Lobe Piercings
Isaac’s left ear lobe pierced twice w/1.6mm titanium BCRs (Ball Closure Rings) by El Capitan @ Shiva Piercings. To my many returning clients and custom, thank you; it is always a pleasure.
Clara’s Tragus & Double Helix Piercings
Clara’s Inner-Pinner, Helix & Lobe Piercings
Various work on the lovely Clara, over time. On the left ear, a freshly pierced tragus w/1.2mm x 8mm titanium labret bar. Two healed double helix, top of the ear; the top with a 1.2mm micro bar and the lower with a 1.2mm x 8mm CBB. On Clara’s right ear is a freshly pierced inner-pinner/fwd-helix w/1.2mm x 8mm curved bar. There is also a healing helix and I’m pretty sure I pierced some of the lobes, seconds, thirds and fourth maybe. Always appreciate regular clientele and custom; meeting so many kool people adds to making what I do really enjoyable.
Molly’s Labret Lip Piercing
Molly’s labret piercing w/1.6mm x 10mm titanium labret bar and later changed down to an 8mm as anywhere around the lip will swell for a week or two initially. It’s always nice to meet new people and give advice to the many that ask me about getting into the professional body piercing/tattooing world. There are several routes but I always tell young people to give themselves options above anything. Generally speaking, the old school way is to get an apprenticeship which involves a lot of watching and learning over a prolonged period of time; for which do your research and find a professional and respectable studio which is willing to take you on. There are also shorter courses you can pay to go on which are great if you have a job to come out to, else it can be difficult to apply the practice which naturally comes with time; if you don’t. Unfortunately Shiva doesn’t take on apprentices as our studios are relatively small and fully staffed; however when new shop staff join there is sometimes the option to learn depending on the circumstances.
CAPN’DOOM
Drop in on either Paul, Grace or Kelly @ Shiva in the meantime for all your piercing needs.
For those who wanna hit me up when I’m back, feel free to make an appointment on or from November 19th.
Big thanks to all of those who have kept me really, really busy over the last few months and I’m looking forward to some downtime and a break from everything.
Much Love,
Captain’Doom.

Jacqueline’s Fwd-Helix-Trio
Jaqueline’s fwd-helix/inner-pinner trio of piercings pierced w/1.2mm titanium CBBs over the course of around 3-4 months starting from bottom to top. The lowest is healed w/6mm CBB while the other two are 8mm’s, Pleasure to pierce and chat to this lovely lady over the course of these piercings, with plans to do more helix work in threes to the existing jewellery; when these are fully healed.
Faith’s Helix Piercings
Faith’s double helix piercings almost five years apart! The top/higher one has long healed and been fit with a BCR. The new addition, midway has just been pierced w/1.2mm titanium labret bar. Always a pleasure to see faces old and new, in the studio.
Oscar’s Piercings – Ear Werk by El Capitan
Here’s Oscar’s ear with a healed lobe and helix piercing w/1.2mm blackline BCR. Fresh tragus addition w/1.2mm blackline labret bar. Again, always a pleasure piercing so many awesome people!

Chantel’s Inner-Pinner Trio Piercings
Here’s the lovely Chantel’s inner-pinner/fwd-helix trio w/1.2mm curved titanium bars, pierced over the course of roughly three-four months; one at a time – bottom to top. The first (bottom one) is pretty much healed though Chantel had caught the second (middle) the morning of completing the trilogy. These will take a while to fully heal but there’s lots of jewellery options when they have. Loved chatting to Chantel over the course of visits which also included some work by Sergio Gorbachov. Inhale the future, exhale the past.
