An empowering female piercer

“I was so hesitant to make the transition to blade because the cannula was all i knew and blades frightened me due to the bevel opening a bigger margin for error on angles”

“When i decided to make the switch i didn’t know what i was looking for in a blade, i spoke to many piercers, some said I’d want something coated others said use lube for glide to get used to them but the best advice i got was just to try them all”

“I got a few samples from various well known brands and Kiwami was actually the last ones i tried”

Client care always comes first

“Other blades seemed somewhat step like at the bevel, and didn’t feel i was getting a smooth piercing which made me think my clients would be feeling that too”

“The Kiwami blades are brilliant, i instantly felt them glide through skin. I am by no means a connoisseur of blades but i do know how my hands move to make my piercings work and using these has made things a lot easier, smoother, my work has a nice flow with these and that bevel is crisp”
