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.
