# Surface Piercing

Surface Piercings

I create carefully placed surface piercings with clear guidance, quality jewelry, and a focus on your anatomy.

Surface Piercing Policy & Placement Guidelines
Surface piercings are semi-permanent modifications placed directly beneath the dermis. While longevity varies based on individual anatomy, lifestyle, and placement—ranging from several months to multiple years—these piercings carry an inherent risk of rejection. To maximize stability and healing success, we utilize implant-grade staple bars (90-degree surface bars) for all procedures. We do not perform single-point dermal anchors.
Approved Placement Areas
To ensure optimal healing and minimize the likelihood of premature rejection, we exclusively perform surface piercings on the following anatomical locations:
Clavicle
Sternum
Cheekbone
Supraorbital (Above the Eyebrow)
Surface Tragus (Side of the Face)
Nape (Posterior Neck)
Restricted Areas
We strictly do not perform surface piercings on the lower back. Clinical experience and healing outcomes demonstrate that high-movement, high-friction areas like the lower back are highly prone to chronic irritation and premature rejection.

## About

I’m Danny, piercer and operator behind Black Sheep. I build intentional ear curations, foundational placements, and clean setups for people who take their look seriously. No gimmicks, no rushed layouts. Every appointment starts with an honest anatomical assessment, executed with implant-grade titanium or solid 14k gold, and backed by medical-grade sterilization standards. Bring your vision, or let’s map out a layout that fits your anatomy.

## FAQ

### How do I choose the right piercing for me?

A professional piercer can discuss your goals, consider your anatomy, and explain how different placements may suit your lifestyle. Their guidance helps you make an informed choice that feels personal and comfortable.

### What happens during a professional piercing?

A professional piercing typically begins with a consultation, placement discussion, and careful preparation of the area. The piercer then uses appropriate sterile techniques and explains what to expect throughout the process.

### How should I care for a new piercing?

Aftercare generally involves keeping the area clean, avoiding unnecessary touching, and following the piercer's specific instructions. Proper care supports the body's natural healing process and can help reduce avoidable irritation.

### How do I know whether a piercing is healing normally?

Some tenderness, swelling, or mild redness can occur as a new piercing settles. A professional can help you understand what is typical and advise you if changes appear unusual or concerning.

### Why is it important to see a professional piercer?

Professional piercing combines placement knowledge, anatomy awareness, hygiene practices, and aftercare guidance. Choosing a qualified professional helps you approach body modification with greater care, clarity, and confidence.
