Emma’s Transverse Lobe Piercing

Emma and Jenny came in together asking about transverse earlobe piercing, which is always an interesting request when the anatomy suits. Here’s Emma’s freehand transverse earlobe piercing w/1.6mm titanium bar. Had a blast with these ladies and think the piercings look awesome, especially the X effect; when worn with the criss-crossing traditional lobe piercings.

Jenny’s Transverse Lobe Piercing

Both Jenny and Emma came in together inquiring about a transverse earlobe piercing, which is always a fun and rarer request. Here’s Jenny’s freehand transverse earlobe piercing w/1.6mm titanium bar. Had a blast with these ladies and think the piercings look killer, especially with the criss-crossing traditional lobe piercing.

Sophie’s Daith Piercing

Here’s some shots of Sophie’s fresh (drifted) snug piercing and daith, both pierced w/titanium jewellery at 2nd Skin. It’s a true honour to say I have pierced all of Sophie’s 15+ piercings over the years at Shiva, so there’s some various bits pictured here; including tragus, fwd-helix, conch, stetched lobe and the fresh additional snug (positioned in line with the conch at Sophie’s request) on the right ear. On the left ear is the fresh daith alongside a rook, helix, stretched lobe and tragus. Always a pleasure and so much appreciation for being the first person I got to pierce in a new studio. You can find me piercing at 2nd Skin, on Fridays throughout Spring 2017.

Anna’s Double Nose Piercings

Anna’s healed double nose piercings, pierced I believe three months apart and fully healed inside six/seven months. Both pierced w/titanium curved j-claw bar/studs. Love it when customers and clients heal super quick – as generally speaking I say three months is fast, six months more common and twelve months if you have problems/slow healing. These look awesome alongside a 6mm segment ring fitted in Anna’s septum (not pierced by me) and a continued thank you to the many lovely people who trust in me when adding to their piercing collection.

Connie’s Double Lobe Piercings

Connie’s lobe doubled up to great effect. Simple yet striking, pierced w/1.2mm titanium labret bars – this looks great with either studs or when healed a ring to create a vertical lobe orbital. Always a pleasure, whatever the request; I always aim to provide the perfect piercing.

Abbie’s Double Flatbed Helix Piercings

Here’s some sweet shots of Abbie’s double flatbed helix piercings pierced w/1.2mm titanium labret bars and 3mm crystal clear heads. The lower two piercings were pierced by me, adding to the top existing piercing (not pierced by me) to create a cluster trio alongside the helix. Always a pleasure, whether it be vague or with something specific in mind.
