Hocus Pocus Body Piercing

Helix piercing addition to this curation that I love ! I can’t wait to glam this up with some fancy jewellery🖤🕸️ once again I am blessed with clients that are some of the best people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting

A beautiful marquise cluster for one of my beautiful clients. I always have so much fun when you come in and see me🖤🕸️

This clients nostril piercing was pierced specifically to accomodate a ring being used after the initial phases of healing are over. Although nostrils can be pierced initially with a ring, using the correct angle with a labret first is the best way to ensure optimal healing.

Double nostrils are always super intimidating but SUPER fun nonetheless 🌙🖤

Since instagram wont let me post this is B&W or with my logo WITHOUT labelling it as AI🤬…. Here’s the non black and white version. This piercing was placed a little further forward than a traditional tongue piercing placement due to the requirements of this persons unique anatomy. Certain piercings, including tongue, industrial, septum and navels, are HIGHLY dependant on each individuals anatomy. As always, it was a pleasure piercing this client 🖤🌙

To all my beautiful clients, followers and fellow piercing addicts: choosing jewellery for your piercing can feel a little overwhelming, especially with so many different styles available. Your piercer will be happy to talk you through the jewellery type that’s right for your piercing, and any reputable piercer will know to use the correct jewellery in the correct spots. But it’s not just about what looks good—the shape, movement and way it sits in your body can all affect how a piercing heals.

Rings come in different styles, and each has its own advantages. Seamless and hinged rings are easy to change, while captive bead rings can be trickier to remove. Fixed bead rings offer a similar look to CBRs, with a more straightforward changeover.

Barbells are another common jewellery style, available in different shapes and lengths to suit specific placements. Some piercings require a straight piece of jewellery to harmonise with the body’s natural anatomy and allow the piercing to heal correctly. Using the wrong shape can put pressure on the tissue, cause irritation and contribute to migration or rejection. For example, staple bars are the only appropriate jewellery for flat surface piercings.

Understanding what your jewellery actually looks like can help you visualise how it sits in the body, why certain pieces are recommended for certain placements, and why your anatomy matters more than the jewellery trend of the week.

Healing piercings is VERY different for every person, placement and environment. This little info graphic outlines some time frames for common standard piercings, and the absolute MINIMUM amount of time any individual will take to heal them. Always consult with your piercer before changing jewellery for any new piercing, and never assume your piercing is healed because it “feels fine” ✨🖤🌙
