FAQs about Chris (the fun bit)

What’s Chris actually good at (besides sarcasm)?
Fineline (yes, the tiny stuff), black & grey, blackwork and traditional. Clean placement, crisp lines, smooth healing.
Is he really one of the North West’s best piercers or is that PR?
It’s a thing. Implant-grade titanium only, sterile single-use setup, calm and clinical. Ears curated, not guessed.
What’s Chris like in the chair—comedian or quiet assassin?
Chill, straight-talking, and will lightly take the mick to keep you smiling—never mean, always respectful. You’ll feel looked after.
What does he do when he’s not making people look cooler?
Watches Manchester United, binges boring documentaries (his words), and plans the next clean placement.
Can he do teeny tiny fineline without it turning into a blob?
Yep. He’ll guide size and placement so your fineline heals sharp and still looks mint months later.
I want a Pinterest-worthy ear—can Chris plan the whole thing?
Absolutely. Anatomy-led mapping for lobes, helix, conch and daith so the final stack flows and heals well.
What’s the damage—deposits, reschedules, the awkward money bit?
A non-refundable deposit secures your slot (comes off the final price). You can reschedule once with 48h notice; late changes/no-shows lose the deposit.
