Vertical Clitoral Hood (VCH) Piercings - subtitled

*THIS VIDEO CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT*
Enjoy this video about Vertical Clitoral Hood piercings. I show an example of piercing a VCH from the top-down into a receiving tube, including helpful tips and tricks on showing the client the marks, discussing sensitive subjects, jewelry transfers, and what to do when a client moves during the piercing.

Needle Bending tips & tricks - subtitled

This video can help you get more comfortable with the concept of bending your needle. Needle bends can help make a piercing easier in a tight space, either with or without additional tools. Needle bends can also help simplify jewelry installations by having the sharp end pointing out of the way of your fingers or the client's anatomy. This video also covers some safety aspects such as using needle blanks for practice, and the importance of avoiding needlestick injuries. If you like this video also check out the companion video about Needle Modification (needle crushing).
Subtitling this took a very long time. I think I will probably have to limit subtitling to the shorter videos in the future.

Nostril Piercing from the inside-out (subtitled)

This is how I pierce the majority of my nostrils. I pierce from the inside-out, and install a flat disc backing from the inside with it. This method might seem intimidating if it is new to you, but the actual technique is quite simple. This video includes multiple examples of piercing, but also a helpful exercise you can practice with.
