Everyone at the shop was mad that I was the one to pierce this conch with a genuine moonstone and diamond hexagon set in 14k yellow gold from @modernmoodbodyjewelry

Shoutout to @toad.licker_ for trusting me to do this bridge piercing. I was definitely sweating the whole time.

If you’re in the Durham area and you’re into hella clean American traditional tattoos definitely go check him out.

My clients are the best! This one in particular came in on a busy day and waited in line just so I could take a photo of the philtrum I did for them a few months prior.

I LOVE stacked lobes! When this person came in not sure what they were wanting I saw the perfect opportunity to sneak one in between their first and their second.

Summers here and so are navel piercings! To kick off summer I wanted to talk about floating navels for a second. A lot of people come into the shop wanting to get their navel done, but not a lot of people know that there are different types of navel piercings for different types of anatomy. Here is a prime example of a floating navel that I did. This person didn’t have the anatomy for a traditional navel piercing because they have what’s called a collapsing navel where it folds in the middle when they sit. But they did have the perfect anatomy for a floating navel! With these, instead of having a gem on the bottom there’s either a ball or a disk. That way when they sit or move their navel is able to fold with their body without pushing on the jewelry and causing irritation. I do a TON of navels at the shop and I’d say a majority of them end up being floating like this one. So if you’re thinking about getting a navel piercing done, but don’t know if it’ll work for you, stop by the shop and let one of us check it out!

I’ve been doing gold chains a lot lately so I decided to show off these two I did the other day in a flat and a mid helix.

This week I got to do this sick upper helix piercing to match the lower one done by @planetarypiercing with a white gold Seawitch from @junipurrjewelry on one of our repeat clients that drives all the way from the beach just to see us! I really love when clients pick out a piece and then just let me put it wherever I want.

After a horrible experience of getting their septum pierced incorrectly at another studio years ago I was finally able to give this client the septum piercing they had always dreamed of having

That time I got to do a really cool spooky themed ear and took good photos of my perfect angles but then all of my pictures of the finished results turned out blurry 😓

Bridge piercings are probably the most stressful piercings I do but also definitely the most rewarding when they turn out this good.
