This girl has, by far, the quickest healing cheek piercings in the history of the universe. I pierced these in October, and when I do checks I always add about a 1/4 to "flush jewelry length" to accommodate for swelling, and bundle into the initial price two shaft downsizes. With her check thickness and potential swelling I had to pierce her with inch shafts and today was her second and downsize, flush with no tightness, was 7/16. That insane craziness. I mean, they are not totally healed (they are cheek piercings after all) but crazy none the less. #lookipiercedx23ordeathstrike #piercingbymat #marcstattooing #scrantonmarcs #isbodyjewelry #isneedles #piercing #bodymodification #bodypiercing #bodymod #bodymods #cheekpiercing #dimplepiercing

I have to say, I love micro demals and surface stuff as much as the next guy, and you and I can post them all day, but precise, clean, and calculated "basic" stuff will always give me a chubby because we all know that is what separates the haves from the have nots.

A lovely little CZ flat on a lovely little Uni Exchange student from South Korea. 16g 1/4 TFGE courtesy #isbodyjewelry done with 16g O-needle courtesy of #isneedles . I'm loving the o-needles for certain cartilage work. Benefits are obvious and the o-needle is not as intimidating to the client #piercing #bodymod #bodyjewerly #bodymodification #marcstattooing #piercingbym@ #sharpassneedles #bodypiercing

Did these on a client a bit over a year ago. All healed and all good. Love putting up healed stuff on the ole IG ..... just done stuff, while a necessity, is just boring (and slightly cheating, heh) . I really have to snap a pic of @shellyblacktattoos facial anchor. It's the first one I did (back in 05/06 I think?). That suckers still looking fantastic! #dermal #dermalanchor #piercing #bodymod #bodypiercing #bodymodsbymatdap #isbodyjewelry #isneedles #sharpassneedles #marcstattooing

I mean, we all know that plural of Tragus is Tragi, but what would the group name be? A gaggle, congress, herd, litter, murder, swarm, rookery, brood, flock .... I vote for a rookery of tragi, so we can just confuse the hell out of clientele even more. @industrialstrength #piercingbymat #marcstattooing #scrantonmarcs #isbodyjewelry #isneedles #piercing #bodymodification #bodypiercing #bodymod #bodymods

I get so lazy with my picture taking sometimes, maybe this cheeky little rook will snap me out of my IG piercing pic doldrums! 16g 5/16 curved barbell courtesy of @industrialstrength #piercingbymat #marcstattooing #scrantonmarcs #isbodyjewelry #isneedles #piercing #bodymodification #bodypiercing #bodymod #bodymods #instagood #photooftheday

A beautifully little spiral on one of my favorite clients, Albena. Burning the edge but she fit like a glove. Especially love how she fits perfectly, without pressure, in that natural indent/notch by the bottom spiral. 14g 3/8 spiral with Jade ends courtesy of @industrialstrength #piercingbymat #marcstattooing #scrantonmarcs #isbodyjewelry #isneedles #piercing #bodymodification #bodypiercing #bodymod #bodymods #instagood #photooftheday

Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge. I'm trying not to lose my head, ah huh-huh-huh. It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under. #piercingbymat #marcstattooing #scrantonmarcs #isbodyjewelry #isneedles #piercing #bodymodification #bodypiercing #bodymod #bodymods #instagood #photooftheday
