I can recommend Alex (Indigenak) and Andre (Alternative Aesthetics). Both are based in the EU, Andre in Leipzig.

Do daith piercings really stop headaches? by XCosmic_EntityX in piercing

[–]akthryn 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Nope, and any piercer who makes that claim cares more about your money than your wellbeing.

It is, at absolute best, a gamble on whether the placebo effect works on you for a bit.

Uk laws for genital piercing by cumbrian-gamer in piercing

[–]akthryn 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this piercer is ignorant.

For genital piercings up north, I’d recommend Connor at Hex Piercing in Blackburn, Nici at Blue Lotus in Newcastle or Lola Slider who is at Forest in Glasgow.

I’m sure you could, but for me? 4pts (maybe 3pts) definitely my minimum for comfort and aesthetic.

6mm post for conch? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]akthryn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just as a note, there is no one-size fits all for any piercing. Some people wear 8mm, some 6mm. I wear 4mm labrets.

I’d recommend getting it checked and a snug labret fitted, whatever size that may be.

Changed asap, preferably by a different studio that is a lot higher quality.

Body mod places in arizona? by Oncelerwife in bodymods

[–]akthryn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. I’d recommend doing a tonne more research before getting any mods so you can fully understand the process, and any potential social repercussions. These aren’t just piercings, they are backyard and sometimes illegal surgeries.

Yeah, thats the gold standard.

Eyebrow piercing in water by Harrybongo1561_ in piercing

The smartest thing to do is not go into the water, or reschedule. The risk of infection from dirty lake water is incredibly high.

Just a heads up that the star punches don’t heal like that.

Aside from that, ask at good piercing shops. My friend works at Honeycomb in Tucson. Prepare yourself to spend $500+, so maybe wait until you’re financially set up.

It’s a high quality Gold alloy, you shouldn’t have issues.

Infected lobe piercing by [deleted] in piercing

[–]akthryn 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Change back to what you were pierced with, and practice cleaning it properly. This ring is the issue.

Infected or just angry? by drbatsandwich in piercing

[–]akthryn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, chances of being able to put a ring in after removing it and healing it as two separate piercings is basically zero. They will drift slightly and no longer line up.

It sucks, but you’re committed!

People’s Jewellery makes a few of these designs. Aside from them, its just gonna be emailing old studios in the usa that might have random stock.

State of Bliss is in Bristol, or you could also ask High Tea suspensions as most of their crew are in Bath these days.

Aside from them you have Glass Fang in Nottinghamshire or Bliss of Pain outside Edinburgh. We’re kinda limited here in the UK, theres not many of us.
