When polishing, carefully push the metal hoop aside to avoiding getting lacquer on it. Put a bit of top coat on the opening once the hoop is on so it does not catch on hair. When applying hoops, twist it open and insert it into the hole. You can apply hoop or dangle earrings before polishing. Make sure the nut on the back of the nail is tight, and consider encapsulating it with top coat to prevent it from catching on things. Once you’ve finished polishing the nail and it has dried, use the drill to open the hole back up again. Make sure the post is not too long – make sure it screws on, and then cut the excess with a wire cutter. Bend it if necessary to follow the curve of the nail. Once you’ve created your hole, clean up the area around it with a cotton swab.įor posted charms (like post earrings), make sure the charm fits snugly on the nail. If the bit gets stuck, gently reverse it straight back out of the hole. Go slowly and do not let the drill wobble to prevent breakage.
#Rock star piercing free#
To pierce the free edge, place the unpolished nail facedown on a towel on the table, and slowly drilling through that way. Leave at least 1/8-inch of space around the piercing’s hole. You can pierce any type of nail enhancement, as long as you adhere the product to the natural nail completely and evenly. Flimsy natural nails are not always a good choice for piercing, unless the free edge is incredibly strong and stable. The drill bits may either look like a normal (but much thinner) bit, or have a ball-shaped cutting edge at the end. To create the tiny hole, you can use an electric file and bits made especially for this purpose, or a hand-held drill. It may seem obvious, but no piercing should ever be done on the pink part of the nail enhancement or on the natural nail – only on the free edge of enhancements.
#Rock star piercing upgrade#
Plus, it’s an extra upgrade you can add to your menu! Find out what you’ll need to try it out.
Pierced nails are a way to try out extra charms and jewelry without the pain of a real ear or belly button piercing. So…let’s figure out something really cool together! I look forward to working with you.If your client has ever wanted nails that make her feel like a rock star, this is the look to try. It is an absolute joy and honor to help clients realize their most genuine selves. Here I have a space to learn about everything from wound healing to gemology, ritual to anatomy, photography to microbiology, and, honestly, it’s just the best. I feel that piercing truly embodies the spirit of interdisciplinary knowledge, and, for me, very much coheres my interests in health/medicine, culture, and adornment in both a holistic and extremely rewarding way. Pre-piercing, I worked in a number of areas of social sciences research, so I’ve always been drawn to interdisciplinarity-holding many lenses through which to view and explore the world. Piercing has given me many opportunities to travel I have guest spotted at UpRise Tattoos in Warrenville, IL, Gamma Piercing in Ann Arbor, MI, Infinite Body Piercing in Philadelphia, PA, and Rockstar Piercing in both its Boston, MA and Providence, RI locations. I’m an alum of the Fakir Comprehensive Piercing Intensive, the Gemological Institute of America, and the College of the University of Chicago. Rock your style your way, wear what you want, and keep your piercings looking cooler than ever with our one-stop piercing shop.
#Rock star piercing professional#
I have been a member of the Association of Professional Piercers since 2019 and have attended every annual APP conference since then. In February 2020, I joined Luxe as a full-time piercer.
I have been a piercing enthusiast my entire life (in fact, I decided in the first grade that I would someday have seven piercings per ear-at least!), but my professional involvement in the industry officially began in 2018 when I started as first a jewelry specialist and eventually a piercing apprentice at Identity Body Piercing in Chicago, IL.
