My name is Flik and I am a fully qualified professional body piercer and proud associate
member of the British Body Piercing Association (BBPA). I have hundreds of successful procedures under my belt covering
virtually every piercing from the waist up. I pride myself on the cleanliness and sterility of my studio and equipment.
Hygiene to me is paramount. All my equipment is autoclaved every morning without fail and also between procedures.
I use only single use, pre packed, sterile hollow point needles for piercing my clients. This ensures the highest standard
of sterility possible. I also use the "no touch" technique when piercing - this means that at no point during
your procedure will your skin come into contact with mine.
The initial jewellery
that I use is the highest quality plain polished titanium. I use this in order to prevent infection and the onset of
nickel allergy.
I endeavour to work with my clients to find the piercing and placement
that suits them best. Sometimes a client will come to me with a very different idea and I work with them to achieve
the result they are looking for. It is my belief that a piercing should enhance a person's appearance rather than
inhibit it.
If you're wondering how I got into piercing it's something
that I have always been facinated with not just as a process but as an art form. The modified body can be a beautiful
body. I started out as a sports massage therapist and personal trainer. This qualification gave me the foundation
of a superb knowledge of anatomy and physiology. However, this was just not the industry for me so I decided to
retrain as a professional piercer and as they say, the rest is history.
In Decenber
2008 I opened the Hook & Eye Professional Body Piercing Studio in the market town of Witney because I myself was
fed up with having to travel to either Swindon or Oxford to get piercings or body jewellery. I also wanted to give people
a studio dedicated to the practice of body piercing and the sale of decent body jewellery at reasonable prices. To this
end I now have an extensive range of body jewellery and offer an ordering service so if there is something you have your heart
set on that I don't have, I will do my best to get hold of it for you. As a professional piercer I enjoy helping
people and am happy to give free advice and free studio time.
On the 1 November 2010 I moved the studio to
much larger premises so that I can bring a bespoke tattoist into Hook and Eye to complete the service that we can offier.
This was something I always wanted to do so it's a great thrill to have Matt on board.
I also offer Micro Dermal implants! I have been professionally
trained and qualified in the technique of Micro Dermal implants so please ask if you are interested in having this procedure
and go to our Micro Dermal page for more information.
Taking it to the next level! I am
always looking to bring my clients new procedures and techniques which offer greater choice and flexibility. To this
effect I have just completed more professional training and am qualified in the staple bar piercing technique.
This is a different type of surface piercing which can offer a client greater precision and a better longer lasting result
than a standard PTFE bar. Again, if you're interested in something different from the run of the mill piercing,
come in and see me for more information.
Take care and hope to see
you in the new studio soon!
