Miari’s Lower Back Dimples/Dermal Piercings
Some contrasting shots of our new Shiva Crew member, Miari’s lower-back dimple/microdermal-piercings. This pair of microdermal anchors have been placed along Miari’s waist to create the shimmering dimple effect with 4mm crystal clear gemstones. All of the above were taken fresh following piercing whilst there’s a couple of settled shots a week or so after piercing below.

Zaliqa’s Navel Piercing
Sweet shots of Zaliqa’s navel piercing pierced w/1.6mm x 12mm aqua blue curved titanium bar and a crystal clear gemstone @ Shiva.
Jannene’s Helix’ Ear Rim-Wrap
The lovely Janene’s ear helix/rim-wrap pierced over the course of around six or seven months @ Shiva. The highest piercing had been there for a long time when Janene decided to start working down to the earlobe. I pierced four, one at a time; between the top one and the two on the lobe. Originally pierced w/1.2mm 8-10mm titanium labret bars; here they have been shortened to a mix of 6-8mm with smaller 2.5mm aqua gemstone heads. Janene has been healing pretty fast but had caught her ear on a bike helmet just before coming in for the refitted shorter bars; where we also stretched her second lobe piercing to accomodate matching 1.2mm jewellery.
Annika’s Double Helix Piercings
Annika’s double top-ear/helix piercings pierced w/1.2mm titanium labret bars @ Shiva.
Aurélie’s Smiley Piercing
Aurélie’s sweet smiley/frenulum piercing w/1.2mm x 10mm titanium CBB; pierced @ Shiva.
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.
