Favourite piercing to perform:
My favourite piercings to perform are any interesting ear work. Triple forward helix, industrial, anti-tragus, transverse lobe etc. I love the control you have with doing ears and cartilage, and the fact you can get up close and really get those angles poppin.
Piercing I'm most proud of:
I have included a picture of 5 helix piercings I did on one clients ear, all with ball captive rings. I am especially proud of this piercing as its very aesthetically pleasing, the way the rings flow and wrap around the ear and the way they are spaced apart.
I have also included a picture of triple dermal anchors I did on our very own Chloe G’s nape. This procedure was performed when Melissa was here for training and it was a lot of fun, plus the results were great. Chloe took it like a champ, and they have healed up really well. I am especially happy with the spacing and the colour choice, it really stands out!
Funny anecdotes/quotes/experiences in the studio:
One time I was piercing a lady’s nose and her toddler daughter was sitting in the room with her. My client did not want to leave her alone because she might run off. The girl was sitting quietly in the corner when I went to mark up the nose on my client with a toothpick, the little girl exclaimed loudly “Mummy I see the needle, it’s made of wood!” I was like Oh God No I will not pierce you with this toothpick!! A wooden needle sounds like the worst idea ever lol.
What you enjoy the most about piercing:
The thing I enjoy the most about being a body piercer is helping people embody their creativity and adorn themselves with rad sparkly things. Piercings are a great and healthy outlet to blow off some steam and destress. The ability to experience a minimal amount of physical pain can be a great distraction from emotional pain, and it helps someone realize how strong they really are.
Bad break up? Get a piercing! Lost your job? Piercing! Global warming? You guessed it, piercing!
As piercers we always say that its like a mini therapy session every time you get jabbed. I like to help my client get through all their fears and worries and give them an overall positive experience and an amazing piece that compliments their anatomy and turns heads.
Favourite piercing to perform:I love creating fun and unique ear constellations! Being creative is a big part of my job and I love being able to put my creativity to use!
I also love a good daith piercing! They are super fun to pierce and always make my clients ear look awesome!
Piercings I am proud of:
I am always super proud of the daith’s and septum’s that I perform. They look amazing on every client and I am always in love with how they turn out!
What I enjoy most about piercing:
I love to see a client be super happy with their piercing and walk out of the studio more confident than before!
I love creating fun and unique piercings for my clients.
Funny/ memorable experience in the studio:
We have so many funny and unique clients in the studio every day, its hard to choose just one experience! I love the diversity of everyone’s personalities, they’re all a pleasure to pierce.
What I enjoy about piercing:
I enjoy that every day is different. The variety of piercings along with the variety of people is always so broad and interesting. I love that piercings give people a chance to express themselves and to be as creative as they dream.
Favourite piercing to perform:
I always find cartilage work super fun. There’s something about conchs and daiths that are super satisfying.
Funny Anecdote/quotes/experiences in the studio:
I have had some funny experiences, but there are 2 that come to mind. One was a client who was sooo happy with her nipple piercings that she invited me to her wedding. The other was a European tourist who got 4 cartilage piercings, she told me that they hurt, but she was happy with her result – she told me I was “a good kind of terrorist to her skin”.
Piercing I feel proud of:
My proudest piercings are the ones that I can tell the client is most stoked with. It doesn’t have to be my favourite piercing to perform but if I can tell my client is leaving with the piercing they dreamed of then that makes me proud of my work.
