- You'll feel some pressure here.
Cool.
(upbeat music)
- So we are about to head to Brooklyn
and go get Curated Piercings.
They call them Constellation Piercings.
This means that they're going to like look at our ear
and like figure out specific piercings
for like what fits our ear.
It makes me a little bit more nervous
just not knowing what he's going to pierce.
Kind of like walking into a tattoo store
and being like go crazy.
(upbeat music)
- What is your official title?
- I'm a body piercer.
I've been piercing for
a little over 10 years now.
I'm mostly known for like
curating ears and people's bodies you know.
But mostly known for like a more delicate approach
to piercing.
We kind of map out people's ears.
Go with people's anatomy
as far as like aesthetically
and even like lifestyle-wise.
- The whole phrase that was coined,
constellation piercings or curated ear.
- Yeah I think it got called that
because people were like offering diamonds
so they look kind of like stars.
We call it more of a curated ear
just because when we look at people's
like anatomy,
you want something that fits nicely,
that looks natural you know.
- It's a more personal experience
is what I'm getting.
- It's more of an art form you know.
With the way we do it.
And the jewelry is changing too.
Before you were stuck with the bulky,
heavy studs or hoops.
- I'm ready, I'm super excited about this.
- Yeah me too.
- Let's do it.
(lighthearted music)
- I had this,
this was in my ear for 10 years.
RIP.
- What side do you sleep on?
- Honestly both.
- Okay cool.
What's like your major side?
- I part my hair on this side.
- Okay I think going with what you got here
is a better move.
So I'll mark you in a few spots, okay?
So we can do like a classic second.
I'm mostly going for this guy
which is skipping the second
and going to high low the third.
I'm gonna say conch wood
will definitely center everything off.
Especially 'cause you where earbuds
and stuff like that.
So what I'm gonna do,
I'm just gonna line everything up, okay.
Just focus on me alright.
You'll be fine.
Take an extra breath in.
Breathe out, that's it.
How was it?
- It's okay.
- You like that one?
- It's so big, I love it.
Oh it's so cool.
- It's cute.
It rests nicely.
- Oh I love it.
- Are you ready?
- Yeah I don't know why I'm more nervous for lobe.
- That's it, just lining everything up.
- Okay.
- It's easy I promise.
- I just think of The Parent Trap
when I think of this.
- Take a nice breath.
I'm just gonna put the stud in, okay?
You're gonna feel some pressure here.
- You can't go into a piercing
thinking it wouldn't hurt though.
- That's true.
- Okay.
Oh I love that.
Wow it looks really like
just like adorned.
(upbeat music)
- So that's what we call an orbital.
I did that because you kind of got this guy.
You know so it's a little bit heavier looking.
- It looks really fucking cool.
- So kind of like her we can do the conch.
We can also do what we call a flow rook.
Which is kind of like a floating rook.
You wear earbuds?
- Uh yeah.
- You can do what we call a flat piercing.
- I kinda like
the faux.
- I like the faux too.
Alright.
- I have the jitters.
- Just lining everything up.
That is it.
Take an extra breath in.
That's it.
You did, amazing.
That's the worst of it.
- That really fucking hurt.
It's so cute.
- Right?
It's just floating there.
- Oh snap.
That's like a really cool spot.
- Take a nice breath in.
There you go, good job.
- But it looks like a square.
I just don't even know.
It's like really cool.
- Cool?
- Oh my gosh.
It's so much nicer.
You like took like
five pounds off this ear.
- Oh that's really cool.
- Awesome.
- You're done.
- We're done.
So we just got pierced.
Personally I am feeling heat in my ear right now.
But I feel good.
It looks so good.
I just like love the experience
like really all in all.
He just made my ears
just like look a lot more simple
and put together.
- I feel like before,
it looks like I had a collection of piercings kind of
and now it looks like I have,
like everything's seamless.
I feel like I looked at my piercings
and I was like
I have two ones up there.
Now I like love my ear.
- He just like made some of the jewelry.
Like you know what I mean?
He just kind of cut like some of the jewelry
and just like made it into something for me.
Probably the best experience I ever had
in terms of piercing.
- I just know so many people
who've been like
I shouldn't have gotten my cartilage pierced
or I shouldn't have gotten it pierced right there,
it just didn't work.
Like he'll probably help prevent that.
- Yeah.
- And he really does I think
choose a place that will not only look good,
but it will heal well
and it won't get engulfed
or whatever it's called, melt.
- That's the problem with cheaper jewelry
is it'll essentially melt
and get stuck to your ear.
- Melt?
- Yeah.
- He had to like snap them off of me.
I recommend him to anybody
and I had the best experience.
