You know, most piercing portfolios have pretty mundane pictures with bland expressions and straight-on photos. Adam at Psycho City Tattoo in Lancaster, CA has gone a little more creative with his portfolio it seems — a 14ga vertical labret in this case.

Very arty and cool pic, but the point of portfolios is to feature the piercing and how well it was done, so I don’t think this works as a portfolio picture, as such. Eh, call me a traditionalist, I like to see if the vertical labret is centred and straight. 😉

I agree with Lori… this is a great shot to put in a portfolio, but ideally accompanied by pictures that show the piercing in more detail and better angles. I think a combination of “artsy” shots and “mug shots” is ideal.

Just to be clear, I just meant that this was posted as his work… I don’t think this is really a portfolio shot other than that. I’m sure there are plenty of straight-on shots too!

Hmm I hope that becomes a trend (having artsy photos along side the straight on views of piercings in portfolios). Kind of like what they have in the hairstyle books at the salon.

as an aside…
I’ve got two off-center, symmetrical V. labrets and I’ve always wanted to kiss a gal with a single, centered V. Labret…
and her lips look delicious.
and I love the hair…
ok, done being pervy forward.

Dig the photo, but as a portfolio shot it would be hard to tell if the angle was perfect…

just to reiterate nearly every second person here, it’s a nice photo, but it would be nice to see if the piercing is straight or not in a portfolio.
