Curating your ear is all about achieving your own, singular look over time. Combine metals, textures, stones, studs & hoops to create your own perfectly adorned ear. But be warned, it’s difficult to stop once the playground has opened.
Black Betty only uses the safest & cleanest metals (100% nickel free) for piercings including the highest Implant Grade Titanium & 14 - 18ct Gold.
All needles are single use and disposed of after with a medical waste company.
All gauze and cotton tips are pre packaged and sterile to ensure a lesser chance of infection.
Tools are also cleaned, packaged and autoclaved at 250 degrees to ensure sterility.
My name is Grant Bender. I've been piercing for around 10 years now and have been fortunate enough to pass on my skills and knowledge to two other piercers who are still active within the industry. I'm detail driven and enjoy the unique challenges that are present in every piercing.
I’m Shenna and have been piercing since 2018. What I love about piercing is that I learn something new every day, be it with the anatomy or a new piercing technique. Piercing to me is a form of art, and having a sterile environment with happy and informed customers in beautiful bling is my aim.
Gavin has been piercing since 2014 and uses every possible opportunity to learn more about alternative forms of beauty and body modification. He has always been passionate about freedom of expression and individuality. “Everyone has their own definition of beauty, my goal is to help people achieve their goals through safe practice, under the most hygienic conditions, and with the highest quality jewelry. Everyone’s idea of beauty is important and it’s an honor to assist people in realizing their own aesthetic.”
I started working in the piercing industry when I was 17 and was trained by BB team member Grant - since then I have never looked back! All in all I have pierced hundreds of people over the span of five years and I have met the best people with some amazing life stories - it really makes you less judgmental and more grateful toward other people. It sounds cheesy but its all true! My favourite piercing? That would be the rook ;)
