Top Ear
Top Ear Piercing
Here’s another top ear, pierced again w/1.2mm x 8mm titanium bar. However, notice the difference in positioning. You can basically pierce the top ear cartilage in two ways. Either through the ear so the back is hidden for a discreeter look, or this way, the ‘rim’ whereby both balls are visible. Each ear and each individual customer, dictates and can choose which style/finish they prefer.
Sternum/Throat Dermal
Sternum Dermal
An awesome shot in the old studio of a freshly pierced micro dermal anchor, lower throat/top of the sternum. I really like this but I wear too many chains and would probably catch it personally. However in terms of healing this guy had no problems.
Shiva Heads

Top Ear
Jake’s Top Ear w/gold titanium
Top ear cartilage piercing on Jake, who works @ Shiva w/1.2mm x 8mm gold titanium. Work with good people in Greenwich. 😷👊
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.
