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.
Scaffold
Dan’s Scaffold
Scaffold done w/a 1.6mm x 38mm , I think. The extra length is, as with most piercings; to allow for an initial swelling period. With a scaffold, I usually give at least 2mm either side when measuring up/piercing.
Inner Pinner/Forward Helix Piercings
Forward Helix/Inner Pinner ~ Red Light, Green Light w/room for Yellow Light (and a mark up of how a diath would look.)
Among this collection of piercings located on the left side are two inner pinner piercings pierced by myself. The inner pinner or forward helix, is located towards the front of the ear and it is quite common I get a request for three at once but due to swelling and healing I will only ever pierce two at a time regarding an inner pinner. As you can see in this picture, I will mark up for how it will look with three (note the dot between both bars) so you can decide which way round to get them done if three is what you eventually want. I usually pierce these with either a 1.2mm x 8mm or 10mm straight bar (as seen here) or a flat back labret bar. When fully healed, as it’s such a thin area a 1.2mm x 6 or 4mm bar/labret looks awesome but they can take a few months to heal; especially if you get two pierced at once! There is also a blue line slightly lower, underneath the second bar. That was because this lady also was considering having her diath pierced.
Rook Piercing
Rook Piercing w/ 1.2mm X 8mm curved bar,
The Rook is another piercing I really like doing as it’s quite discreet and tucked away thus healing is usually easier with regards to catching it on things such as hair, hats, scarves etc. This rook is pierced with a 1.2mm X 8mm curved titanium bar.
