These were done at Holier Than Thou in Manchester, England.
And I thought my beard was prickly!

that eyebrow jewelry on his left hand side (your right) looks like its putting alot of pressure on the tissue ontop of it. I wonder how new it is?
I think the goatee of spikes would look .. more striking if he didn’t have that piercing on his bottom lip.. it looks a little measly compared to the big spikes coming out of his lower jaw! Still, they’re are some very attractive piercings there!

It’s gotta be a chick. I love how that septum looks. Is it just a curved barbell or something?

#9 you’re right on the nose… its the jewelry .. they all seem to be either too long, too short, too curved, too straight… they don’t fit well!

I cant look past the left eyebrow, it feels wrong.

Sigh…
That ‘custom’ eyebrow jewellery is administering some major pressure on the tissue around it. Embedding and rejection can be achieved with one piece of jewellery! Hurray!
…and Holier Than Thou have a good reputation amongst the industry over here.
I despair.

It’s a girl, it has to be. Shame about the ill-fitting jewellery.

I’m sure it’s a girl. It’s something about the eyes and the mouth. Oh, and the thing that looks like a fishing line is a scar I think.

Haha that’s kind of cool. She has labret talons in her ear. And I like her vertical labret.

I’m… not sure that any of this was done with this person’s face in mind. On their own, each piercing is a pretty neat piercing, in concept. But.. as it’s been mentioned, some just seem ill-fitting, and I’ll be damned if that isn’t one of the most irritated piercings I’ve ever seen.
I don’t know. I feel like the whole effect is to make her face look really off-kilter.

as long as she likes it and finds it comfortable, it’s all good.
loving the spikes on the chin.

the labret spikes are cool… but her eyebrows don’t look too happy… one looks rejecting and the other…just wonky.

thank you #16
also, maybe the eyebrow is just a few days old and swollen?
sometimes my piercings are like this at first but mellow out within a day or two and turn out fine.

I wouldn’t put it past someone to wear something like that daily, not just for show.
I’d definitely agree that the eyebrow, bridge, and labrets appear to all require downsizing to shorter post lengths.
Not going to comment on the eyebrow weave thing, not without a response from Graham explaining what we’re looking at there. It might be fresh or it might be very irritated/scarred.
Personally I would have opted to do them initially with curved barbells and then once healed insert a piece of Tygon to sort out the angles required for a custom fitted piece of jewelry.
