Someone at Dr. Martens has been looking through our Pinterest boards!!! Seriously, LOOK at these new Whimsigoth boots. The velvet stars against that glossy black leather is gorgeous, then you notice all the little silver details and the spiral charm on the laces.

They’re a 14-eye boots sitting on that chunky Quad platform and thankfully there’s an inside zip because nobody wants to lace up 14 eyelets every morning!

Tag someone who needs to see these.

Charlie did this vertical lip piercing for this lovely customer and we love the asymmetrical look. When you think of a vertical lip piercing, you probably picture one sitting right in the centre of the bottom lip. But who says it has to???

An off-centre placement gives a completely different look, following the natural curve of the lip rather than sitting straight down the middle. We think it looks so good, especially if you’re after something a little different from the usual vertical labret.

Placement is really important with these. Everyone’s lip anatomy is different, so our piercers will always check what works for you and mark everything up before your piercing goes ahead.

What do you think of asymmetrical lip piercings?

Bridge piercings are one of those piercings people really have opinions on. There seem to be two very strong camps “that looks so good” or “oh no, why?”

When the anatomy is right and the placement sits nicely across the nose, we completely get the love for them. Not everyone has the anatomy for a bridge though, so if you have had one sitting on your list for ages, come in and let one of our piercers have a look. We can check your anatomy and let you know if a bridge piercing is going to work for you.

Would you get one, do you already have one, or would you never get one? Let us know.
