We had the privilege of doing a new nostril and septum piercing for Farah recently. 

For the new nostril (pictured on our left, their right) they picked out a yellow gold hammered disc from Anatometal. 

For their septum they picked out this stunning NikiStixx from BVLA. A solid yellow gold layered hinge ring with a stack of two 18g rings, a twisted ring,  and a cable chain. 

Your nose looks amazing Farah! Thank you as always!

the way I want a tiny gold cattle tag stud to put in one of my cartilage piercings 😮‍💨 but no one MAKES THEM

[hanalyrata]

Been fucking drooling over the jewelry offerings for piercings from anatometal/BVLA/industrial strength etc and all I can think of is "Alpha needs his piercings restyled with all this pretty stuff".

Brb, making Ifrit take Alpha to a piercing studio for a date to make them both pretty with some new pieces.

Then the others get curious and want to be pretty too.

[moofbat]

for the last three years my main special interest has been piercing. so here are RQG characters as BVLA pieces. these images will be undescribed, i’m very sorry! this post will also be quite long. this is part 1, there WILL be a more.

azu: well she deserves absolutely everything, but here are my top 3 contenders! ‘milgaro’ do i even have to explain. it is so beautiful and the opals would be absolutely gorgeous, obviously real opals, i would either go with ethiopian opals or honduran opal for the most azu colours. i would put this in a philtrum piercing for her! the ‘elaine’ end is so beautifully, radiantly pink, just like azu, lastly the ‘flower of life’ is representative of the red anemone and a symbol of aphrodite! of course in rose gold

hamid: i mean just look at this ‘Howl’ end. so elegant, purple and would have amazing movement and catch the light, shout out also to the ‘nanda pear’ end which is beautifully textured and would complement his suits so well. i think hamid is just a lobes guy, but could be encouraged into maybe a nostril or tragus piercing also.

sasha: look. they have so many dagger ends. if i was picking sasha inspired jewellery that I, PERSONALLY, WANT, i’m going for the nipple ends, but in terms of what actually suits her bess, it’s gotta be the ‘kiss of death’ in white gold. like cmon. this is in a helix piercing she has somehow healed perfectly.

cel: again. got so many options here. i think ‘countess’ is a beautiful homage to their beast form, but would be more a gift from hamid than something they’d necessarily pick for themself. i feel like this anatometal large gauge anodised titanium circular barbell with faux opal ends is something they would 10000% pick out, it isn’t BVLA, but is IS gorgeous. i imagine cel has the most experience being pierced, the countess would be a flat on their partially missing ear.

zolf: right, zolf is a not a fancy gold man okay. everything is at least 3mm and in beautiful mirror polish plain silver-toned titanium. however, this ‘north star’ attachment would be beautiful for him, and no doubt he would get a flat or conch piercing just for it if hamid gifted it to him. also a little ‘celtic knot’ would be so cute and matched the tattoo i have for him, maybe for his third lobes!

batman body piercing au that i wrote with @quanxisgirlfriend in the pub under the cut

Shops

Bruce’s shop

Bruce: the only APP studio in Gotham, goes to the conference every year. Set his shit up with his parents’ money so doesn’t actually need to worry about bringing in profit, apprenticed under Ra’s

Favourite piercing: Antitragus

Dick: Bruce’s first apprentice, left to open his own studiowork in Bludhaven but still guest spots

Favourite piercing: Antinavel

Jason: Has had so many fucking needle sticks that Bruce tried to get him to quit. Ends up setting up his own studio down the road and sets his prices marginally lower to snipe Bruce’s clients

Favourite piercing: Snug, microdermal

Tim: Really good but so annoying. Tells clients about bevel theory as he’s piercing. They do not care

Favourite piercing: Rhino

Damien: Refuses to do any piercing that isn’t artsy fartsy (reasonable), LOVES unique anatomy piercings, terrible bedside manner but really skilled. Bruce can’t put him on reception because he’ll turn people down if he doesn’t like them.

Favourite piercing: Septril

Steph: Fantastic piercer and really picky about clients. Really loves to perform surface piercings. Has a list of people she’s kicked out of the studio for having “bad vibes” (she’s always right about this). Gossips at the desk of the Rogue shop sometimes and loves to visit Babs. Babs’s pincushion when she’s learning.

Favourite piercing: Sternum

Cas: Ear only, does elaborate ear maps that take years to get through, has a very loyal clientele and rarely takes on new clients because she’s so booked out. Anatometal ONLY. Orders in custom jewellery

Favourite piercing: ROOK!!!

Duke: So anxious. Starts off working reception and takes a while to work up not because he’s not skilled but because he constantly second guesses himself

Favourite piercing: Forward helix

Carrie: Is good and wants to hop ship to Ivy’s studio because she’s sick of the men she interacts with daily.

Favourite piercing: Eyebrow or single side lip.

Joker shop

Joker: Does navels standing up. Drops the needle on the ground when he’s done. Saw trap ass sharps bin, only closes it when it’s full to the brim. Externally threaded steel jewellery is all he buys. He charges $50 for a pair of lobes. Doesn’t own an autoclave, thinks alcohol is fine. Tells clients to use undiluted tea tree only. Keeps the same gloves for the entire process.

Favourite piercing: Lobes bc he uses a gun

Harley: did a psychology undergrad but didn’t finish, got with the joker and agreed to apprentice under him instead, he drove her literally insane. She hated it so much she just thought the job would not be for her but then couldn’t go back to college so agreed to work with ivy.

Favourite piercing: Rims because she can get them done in 3 minutes or less.

One hundred million revolving apprentices that end up leaving due to poor work ethic.

Rogue shop

Riddler: Not APP qualified because he sees himself as better than them. Skilled but does NOT take criticism. Tells people riddles to take their minds off the piercings which works weirdly well. Does not do oral piercings bc of saliva. Doesn’t let anyone else near the autoclave.

Favourite piercing: Stacked lobe

Scarecrow: Obsessed with history and relationship with queer culture, likes the fear element (weirdo)

Favourite piercing: Nasallang

Croc: bad at it. Left Joker’s studio and lied on his CV. Floundering constantly but refuses to admit or ask for help.

Favourite piercing: Nose

Penguin: Leaves for a cig break every ten minutes. Not allowed to sterilise jewellery because he’ll smoke while he does.

Favourite piercing: Septum

Ivy’s shop

Ivy: spiritual/cultural piercings, has incense on constantly, does scarification too, studio is too new to be certified but works to APP standard. Thinks Bruce is too up himself and won’t collaborate with him on anything, doesn’t let men pierce in her studio and lets the others pierce male clients.

Favourite piercing: Septum

Harley (post-joker): learns to love the job again due to wlw tendencies and having a safe environment, great with kids and specialises in kids lobes. Gains huge clientele by having sessions where she listens to your issues and pierces you therapeutically.

Favourite piercing: Lobe

Babs: Was offered a place in Bruce’s studio but turned it down to work here. Very skilled, likes to pierce daiths and industrials.

Favourite piercing: Dahlia

Characters

Harvey: health inspector and bad at it. Sometimes very thorough and others lets things slide, somehow always lets things slide for the Joker

Ra’s: taught Bruce but refuses to be APP certified which is their main conflict

Tommy Elliot: works at a beauticians and thinks using guns makes him a piercer. Has filler. Favourite piercing: Rim but he does them with guns

Bane: works at Claires :)

Eddie: Too afraid of rejection for any surface piercings, obsessive about healing, sleeps on his back but wakes up all over the place and stresses about things shifting when he wakes up on his ear, everything in pairs. Piercings: Symmetrical, paired brows, paired nostrils, 6x rims with rings per side, fwd helixes both sides, tragus both sides, flat each side with question mark labs, venom

Jonathan: Weird about it all, experimental. Piercings: Antinavel (doesn’t have the anatomy for traditional), three lobes on one side, tongue, double conch (low and high, both 1.6), single vertical helix that he wears a plain titanium barbell in. all his jewellery is plain titanium, bcrs if rings but he prefers labs or curved bars for everything but his lobes.

Harley: Piercings: angel fangs w/ one black one red ball, tongue that’s wonky because she didn’t have the proper anatomy so it’s angled, smiley, double lobe and paired stacks, can’t heal cartilage for shit but has a conch and 3 rims anyway, isn’t allowed a rook even though she wants one, paired eyebrows with cones, septum (full hinged, maybe with a mandala design). all are titanium with ONLY acrylic balls and cones for the colours :). 18cm stretched lobes w/ either opal tunnels or hangers

Joker: Piercings: fucking snake eyes AND frog eyes. Snakebites with barbells instead of labrets, his teeth are FUCKED. Wonky as fuck navel, hand webs, wrist dermals, pierced his own tongue traditionally initially and didn’t have the anatomy so pierced straight through a vein but refused to take it out or go to hospital so nearly went septic. All slime green glow in the dark acrylic and cheap “bioflex” bars

Ivy: Piercings: none but visible patterned scarification on her arms and back

Jewelry Photoshoot 7.13.25

This wonderful beauty is from Anatometal! It has two brown CZ's-the main attraction-a prong pear then a small bezel-all in yellow gold! The way this pear cut shines so perfectly and is such a great piece for summer! I loved every single picture I took and I couldn't pick one so here is three!

I’ve been given the amazing opportunity to come back to my local piercer and take more photos of their jewelry! I would always recommend other body modification enthusiasts to ask your local piercer if you can come take photos of their jewelry! (I will go more into this topic in another post) This will get your resume something to stand out and you will obtain skills on lighting, setting and editing!!

Thank you for reading!

[morimagdalene]

Right!!! My wishlist on there is a mile long haha, but I’ve been using it for ages and multiple lobe size changes. I wish I could afford some of the higher end stuff like Anatometal, but alas. Stone’s my preferred material atm

omg yes, i can already tell my wishlist is gonna be pretty lengthy too... there's so many styles i want to try out and i can't decide what to buy first. 🤭

my current ring style is a septum captive ring with a bejeweled bead, and it was so cute, but also super small and snug, so it was barely noticeable :/ + also a bit uncomfy to figure out how to take out... now its missing the bead and it looks so funny lmao.

i can't decide what style i want to try out next!! i love the horseshoe design, especially the lil spikey ones but a regular ring with some cool design on them is also so cute oughhh...

ALSO stone sounds cool as fuck! i had to look Anatometal up because i'd never heard of them before, i'm basically a piercing baby hehe. this septum is legit my first piercing ever so that's why i'm so clueless.. i've already learned so much through you!!!

[vaughnbodyarts]

Our apprentice Adriana did a fantastic job with these conch piercings for Alondra. 

Alondra chose a mirrored pair of Anatometal marquise fans in solid yellow gold. We love how perfectly these fit in their ears. 

Thank you so much Alondra!

This gorgeous ear belongs to our client Chelsea. Vaughn got to do this super cute triple helix piercing for Chelsea a little over a month ago, and we couldn't be happier with how great it looks. A solid gold marquise fan accented with two 3mm titanium prong set ends, all from Anatometal. Thank you so much Chelsea! @vaughnbodyarts​ Monterey, CA
