Here’s Lauren’s top ear/rim cartilage pierced w/1.2mm x 8mm titanium bar by El Capitan @ Shiva Piercings.
Top Ear / Rim Cartilage Piercings
Triple Cartilage
Serena came to see me with a logistically defying gun pierced scaffold… I cannot stress anymore how important it is to pierce needle only, an industrial with a gun is just horrific. You can see on the top of the ear where the former scaffold was, how blown out the ear has become and the angle was a) so off, and b) the lower ear rim just wasn’t possible to pierce in that way. That (shorter) bar (I replaced the scaffold with) is in line with the lower two of the top two I added/rather than in line with the top! Yet the scar is in line with the top bar… The ear had got so angry that a whole half of the scaffold bar had submerged and looked as though it was going through the actual ear. Up on my advice and me removing the bar, Serena treated her ear to a point it was way healthier and pierceable in a professional and safe manner. I first pierced the lower part of the ear cartilage and several weeks later added the two top additions. Pierced w/1.2mm x 8mm titanium only bars. Needle only piercings. Safe to say Serena has been back since and is healing well to my knowledge.

5X Ear Cartilage/Lobe
All five above the initial glitter on the lobe, were pierced over the course of about a year or so by El Capitan @ Shiva Piercings. The last two, lower on the lobe; were added at the same time as a nose piercing, on a young aspiring piercer who must remind me of her name! All pierced w/1.2mm x 8mm titanium bars only. Great shot of what I do and I meet lots of young people interested in getting into working in body piercing, tattooing and body modification.
Top Ear Cartilage & Lobe Triangle
Here’s Olly’s left ear for which his latest edition to his lobe trio🔼triangle is up top on the ear cartilage. This was recently pierced w/1.2mm x 8mm blackline titanium labret bar. His lobe work, pierced by me; features a 10mm wooden plug, a 1.2mm x 6mm labret bar in backwards (top of the trio) and a tiny 0.8mm x 6mm ring to complete the triangle. Really happy with this work, it’s simple n’ subtle, yet different n’ striking. It’s visually bold and you couldn’t meet a nicer guy.
Double Top Ear ⚡⚡ Helix

Holly came in whilst back in the UK and requested a rook piercing, but rather than pierced vertically, she requested it horizontally. You could call it a top ear piercing as it is basically all cartilage up there, I’d pierce a rook slightly lower and to the right if vertical; but I was more than happy to do so. I pierced Holly w/1.2mm x 8mm titanium labret bar w/3mm clear gem stone head. I’m more than happy to take individual requests and do things that aren’t specifically on the Shiva Piercings pricing list. Always happy to talk piercings when I’m in the office…
