How to browse this page
Five notes while the portfolio imagery builds out.
Without a photograph library to scroll yet, this page is built around the categories, placements, and working approach. Five notes below help you evaluate whether Bunny's bench matches your booking.
Kids and teens are the specialty.
Bunny's book clusters around first piercings for children and teens — the calm, walk-through, aftercare-explained experience that separates a studio from a mall kiosk. If your child is getting their first ear piercing, Bunny's bench is Apollo's default.
Simpler lobe and cartilage first.
Single-lobe piercings, standard helix placements, simple double-lobe combinations. Bunny's bench covers the foundational piercing menu. For complex curation or unusual anatomy, Blue Mason's bench is usually the better match.
The studio visit matters.
For kids and nervous first-time clients, the experience of the visit is half the piercing. Bunny's consultations walk through every step — what will happen, what it will feel like, how to care for it afterward. No surprises in the chair.
Jewelry standard matters too.
Implant-grade titanium for healing — same standard as Blue's bench. Fine gold upgrades at the jewelry-change appointment after healing. Apollo's jewelry standard holds across both piercers.
Portfolio imagery is building.
Bunny's visual portfolio is still being photographed and will populate this page as pieces heal and clients give photo permission. In the meantime, this page covers the working approach, placements, and what to expect when you book.
Kids and nervous clients are the specialty. Calm walkthrough, no surprise countdowns, tools explained.
Mall kiosks use guns. Studios use needles. The difference is tissue health and training.
Healing is the piercing. The chair is 60 seconds; the healing is 8 weeks to 12 months.
12 categories from the practice
Each category, annotated.
Twelve specific booking categories from Bunny's working practice — the piercings most often booked, with placement, window, and visit notes.
Piece 1 · First lobe piercing (child)
Kid-friendly, carefully walked through
A child's first ear lobe piercing. Bunny's consultation starts with the child at age-appropriate eye level, walks through the tools, and only places the piercing when the child feels ready. No surprise countdowns.
Piece 2 · First lobe piercing (teen / adult)
Standard first-ear-piercing session
A teenager or adult booking their first ear piercing. Same calm walkthrough as the child version, adjusted for age. Often a two-lobe same-day booking.
Piece 3 · Second-lobe piercing
Adding to existing lobes
A second set of lobe piercings — the second hole up from the initial set. Placed to relate to the existing piercing visually rather than as an isolated piece.
Piece 4 · Third-lobe or stacked lobe
Multi-lobe lobe composition
A third-lobe piercing or a stacked lobe arrangement. Bunny builds these to relate to the existing lobe piercings — same spacing, same curve direction.
Piece 5 · Starter helix
Upper cartilage, first cartilage piercing
A starter upper-cartilage helix piercing — often a client's first non-lobe piercing. Bunny's consultation covers the longer healing window for cartilage and the aftercare differences.
Piece 6 · Double-helix stack
Two-piercing helix composition
A double-helix stack — two cartilage piercings close to each other on the helix. Placed to read as a composition rather than two independent pieces.
Piece 7 · Jewelry change / upgrade
Healing-jewelry to long-term transition
A jewelry change appointment for a client ready to move from initial implant-grade titanium to long-term fine-gold or specialty pieces. Brief visit.
Piece 8 · Kid's coming-of-age piercing
Milestone first-piercing piece
A milestone ear piercing tied to a specific age, event, or family tradition. Bunny's bench often hosts these because the calm approach fits the occasion.
Piece 9 · Nervous-client first piercing
Walkthrough-heavy first visit
A first piercing for a client who is genuinely nervous — adult or teen. Bunny's calm consultation style and walkthrough approach works well for this.
Piece 10 · Family-group piercing
Multiple family members, same visit
A family group booking together — siblings getting first ear piercings, or a parent-and-child session. Bunny coordinates the timing and placement so the visit works for everyone.
Piece 11 · Simple nostril or septum
Straightforward facial piercing
Simple facial piercings — a single standard nostril, a straightforward septum through the sweet-spot — where the anatomy is clearly suitable. More complex facial piercings route to Blue.
Piece 12 · Rebook-and-check
Aftercare follow-up visit
A follow-up appointment — checking healing progress, answering questions, reassuring a nervous client or parent. Free in most cases; part of the Apollo piercing standard.
Six categories represented
Kids & teens, lobes, simple cartilage, simple facial, jewelry changes, family groups.
Bunny's practice clusters around six sub-categories of piercing work. Pick the one your booking wants to live in.
Kids & teens
Calm, walkthrough-first first piercings
The category that anchors Bunny's book. Children getting their first ear piercings, teens booking starter lobe or helix pieces. Bunny's consultation style is built for this — age-appropriate walkthrough, no countdowns, tools explained.
Starter lobe piercings
Foundational ear work
Standard lobe piercings at any age — first set, second set, stacked. The foundational piercing menu. Bunny's bench is Apollo's default for these.
Simple cartilage
Standard helix and starter cartilage
Upper-helix piercings and simple cartilage pieces where the anatomy is clearly suitable. For complex cartilage projects (industrials, unusual orbital placements), Blue's bench is usually the better match.
Simple facial
Standard nostril, sweet-spot septum
Straightforward facial piercings where the anatomy is clearly suitable and the healing expectations are typical. More complex facial work routes to Blue.
Jewelry upgrades
Healing-to-long-term transitions
Jewelry change appointments for clients moving from initial implant-grade titanium to long-term pieces. Brief visits; available for Bunny's own clients and Apollo clients who prefer the gentler bench for the swap.
Family & group bookings
Multiple clients, single visit
Family groups — siblings, parent-and-child, multi-generation — booking together. Bunny coordinates the scheduling and placement math so the visit flows for everyone.
Selected work
Twenty-two pieces from Bunny's working book.
Ear curations, cartilage compositions, and jewelry stacks — healed and fresh. Tiles are sized to preserve the photograph's aspect ratio. Refer to the 12-category catalog above for scale and placement context.
Five placement categories
Where Bunny's piercing practice actually lives.
Five body zones anchor Bunny's practice. Each asks different things of anatomy, aftercare, and the consultation pace.
Earlobe (standard)
Lower lobe · upper lobe · second lobe · third lobe
Bunny's most-booked placement category. First piercings for kids, teens, and adults all land here. Straightforward healing window (8–12 weeks) and easy aftercare.
Upper helix (starter cartilage)
Upper helix · forward helix
Starter cartilage piercings — often a client's first non-lobe piece. Longer healing window than lobes (6–12 months), but manageable with the aftercare walkthrough.
Standard nostril
Standard nostril · single nostril
A single standard nostril piercing on anatomy that clearly suits it. Straightforward healing; the aftercare differs from ear work because of nose-blowing and tissue movement.
Septum (sweet-spot only)
Septum through the sweet-spot
Septum piercings on anatomy where the sweet-spot is clearly identifiable. Bunny handles straightforward septums; more complex anatomy routes to Blue.
Second-lobe and secondary placements
Second lobe · third lobe · stacked lobe
Adding to existing lobe piercings. Placed to relate visually to the existing set — same spacing rhythm, same curve.
Session durations
Four appointment lengths cover the working practice.
Bunny's appointments range from single-piercing visits to coordinated family bookings. Four tiers cover the timing.
Eight pairing notes
Who this practice fits — and where to route when it doesn't.
Bunny's bench is not the right match for every piercing. Eight notes below describe who this practice is built for and where Apollo routes when another bench is the better match.
If ear curation is the priority
Route to Blue Mason, Apollo's second senior piercer, whose book covers multi-piercing ear curation. Blue's piercing portfolio is the match for curated compositions.
If complex anatomy is the priority
Route to Blue Mason for complex anatomy cases — troubleshooting, scar-tissue planning, Fakir-specialty work. Bunny's bench is built around clearly suitable anatomy.
If tattoo is the priority
Route to Apollo's tattoo benches — Blue Mason, Raa, David DaVinci, or Hannah Newman. Bunny's bench is piercing-only.
Kids & teens clientele
Children and teenagers getting first piercings. Bunny's bench is Apollo's default for this clientele. Often pulls into kids' ear piercing as a guide resource.
First-piercing adult clientele
Adults booking their first piercing ever. Bunny's calm walkthrough suits clients who may not have grown up around piercing studios.
Family-tradition clientele
Families where a first ear piercing is tied to a specific age or cultural tradition. Pulls into family traditions as a guide resource.
Nervous clientele (any age)
Nervous clients at any age — teens and adults who are genuinely anxious about the chair. Bunny's consultation style works with, not against, the nerves.
Apollo jewelry-change clientele
Existing Apollo clients (Bunny's or Blue's) booking jewelry-change appointments after the healing window. Both benches handle these; Bunny's bench runs the gentler version.
Consultation
Six questions to answer before you book with Bunny.
Piercing consultations work best when the placement intent, the client's age, and any relevant history are ready. Six questions below frame the booking.
Is this a first piercing?
First piercings get extra walkthrough time — what will happen, what it will feel like, how the aftercare works. If this is a first, say so at booking.
How old is the client?
Kids' consultations are different from teen consultations from adult consultations. Bunny adjusts the approach. Apollo has a minimum age policy for certain placements — the studio covers this before the booking.
What's the placement intent?
One lobe piercing, two, a starter helix, a jewelry change. The placement sets the appointment window and the aftercare.
Any anatomy or medical considerations?
Previous healing issues? Medical history that affects healing? Skin allergies to certain metals? Bring the history so the consultation lands correctly.
What's the aftercare commitment?
Lobes heal in 8–12 weeks. Cartilage in 6–12 months. Aftercare is twice-daily sterile saline rinses through the healing window. Bunny covers this at the consultation.
What's the timing?
Bunny's calendar runs 1–3 weeks out — faster than tattoo bookings. For family or group bookings, coordinate the visit window in advance.
Implant-grade titanium for healing. Fine gold for long term. The material is part of the piercing.
The consultation is where the piercing gets planned. Skipping it rushes the chair.

Common misconceptions
Eight patterns that mismatch a client to this practice.
Most mis-bookings with Bunny trace to one of these eight patterns. Catching them before the consultation routes the booking correctly.
"Mall kiosk jewelry is the same."
It isn't. Mall kiosk metal is studio-grade plated, which causes healing problems. Fix: healing in implant-grade titanium is Apollo's standard for both benches.
"I'll just use the piercing gun for my kid."
Piercing guns cause tissue trauma and don't work for cartilage at all. Fix: needle piercing, done by a trained piercer, is the safe and professional standard. Bunny's bench uses needles exclusively.
"Kids don't need aftercare."
They do. Kids' piercings heal by the same rules as adult piercings. Fix: parents walk through the aftercare at consultation and practice it with the child for the first few days.
"I'll change jewelry at home."
Early jewelry changes cause migration and rejection. Fix: wait for the full healing window and book a jewelry-change appointment. Brief visit, low cost, avoids bigger problems.
"Cartilage heals in 6 weeks."
It doesn't. Cartilage takes 6–12 months to fully heal. The tenderness leaves early; the healing continues long after. Fix: stay on aftercare for the full window, not just the tender window.
"My 3-year-old is ready."
Apollo has a minimum age for ear piercings. The studio covers this before the booking. Fix: check the studio's minimum-age policy before making the consultation assumption.
"Bunny and Blue are interchangeable."
Both are senior piercers; the specialties differ. Fix: for simpler lobe and kid work, Bunny is the default. For curation, complex anatomy, or specialty Fakir work, Blue is the default.
"The consultation is optional."
It isn't. Even simple piercings get a consultation. Fix: the consultation is where the piercing gets planned honestly. Skipping it rushes the piercing.
First-visit recipe
If this is your first piercing with Bunny, here's the recipe.
Eight decisions a first piercing appointment should make on purpose. Built around a first booking with Bunny's bench.
Personalization
Three layers make a Bunny piercing actually yours.
A piercing is a placement plus a jewelry choice plus a moment. Bunny's consultation walks through each layer so the piercing isn't just cosmetic — it's earned.
The placement layer
Where the piercing sits. For first piercings, this is usually the earlobe; for additions, it relates to existing piercings. Placement is permanent.
The jewelry layer
What goes in the piercing. Implant-grade titanium during healing; fine gold or specialty pieces for long-term. Jewelry is how the piercing expresses itself visually.
The moment layer
What the piercing marks for you or your child. A first coming-of-age, a family tradition, a personal milestone. The moment is what makes the piercing more than cosmetic.
Working with Bunny
Siblings, parents-and-children, traditions, collections.
Piercings often happen in groups. Four notes below cover how Bunny works with siblings, parent-and-child pairs, family traditions, and clients building a collection across visits.
Sibling matching
Siblings getting first piercings in the same visit. Bunny coordinates the timing and placement so each piercing is individual but the visit is shared.
Parent-and-child matching
A parent and child getting pieces together — often a first piercing for the child and a matching or related piece for the parent.
Family tradition
Families with a tradition tied to a specific age or event. Bunny's bench is a common venue for these because the consultation style fits the occasion.
Collection across visits
A client building a collection of ear piercings across months or years, with Bunny as the consistent hand. Each new piece relates to the existing ones.
FAQ
The questions every first-piercing booking surfaces.
Eight questions covering booking, why the gallery is placeholders right now, kids' piercings, the scope of Bunny's book vs Blue's, jewelry standards, appointment length, and timing.
How do I book a piercing with Bunny?
Apollo consultations with Bunny's bench are booked through the studio's piercing inquiry form — describe the piercing in a sentence, note the age of the client (especially if a child or teen), and the studio routes the booking. New-client consultations run 1–3 weeks out. For family or group bookings, coordinate the visit window in advance. Come to the appointment with ID, a current aftercare-friendly top, and any relevant medical or allergy history.
Why is the gallery showing placeholder tiles?
Bunny's portfolio imagery is being photographed and will populate this page as pieces heal and clients (or parents of minor clients) give photo permission. In the meantime, this page covers the categories, placements, and working approach so you can evaluate whether Bunny's bench matches the piercing you're planning. Apollo takes photo permission seriously — particularly for children and teens — so the portfolio builds more slowly and intentionally than a social-media feed would.
Does Bunny do kids' ear piercings?
Yes — it's one of her specialties. Apollo has a minimum age policy for ear piercings that covers when the studio is willing to book a child's first piercing; Bunny's consultation walks through whether the timing is right for your specific child. The session itself is built around the child's comfort — age-appropriate explanation, no rushing, no surprise countdowns. For older kids and teens, the session flows similarly but with less hand-holding around the explanation.
Does Bunny only do lobes?
No. Bunny's book covers lobe piercings, simple cartilage (standard upper helix, forward helix), standard nostril piercings, and sweet-spot septum piercings. For more complex work — ear curation projects with multiple interrelated pieces, unusual anatomy, industrials, or specialty Fakir-lineage work — Blue Mason's piercing bench is usually the better match. Both benches share Apollo's jewelry and aftercare standards; the specialties differ.
What jewelry does Bunny use?
Implant-grade titanium for all healing jewelry — the same standard Apollo uses across both piercing benches. Fine gold (14k and above) and specialty pieces are available at jewelry-change appointments after the full healing window. Apollo does not use studio-grade plated metal, costume-grade jewelry, or anything that doesn't meet implant-grade standards. The material is part of the piercing's healing outcome, not an aesthetic choice.
What's the difference between Bunny and Blue Mason for piercings?
Both are senior piercers; the specialties differ. Bunny specializes in kids, teens, first-time clients, simpler lobe and cartilage work, standard facial piercings, and family or group bookings. Blue specializes in ear-curation projects, complex anatomy, Fakir-lineage specialty work, and second-opinion troubleshooting. For a first piercing on clear anatomy, either bench works; for curation, complex anatomy, or specialty work, Blue. The consultation form routes based on what you're booking.
How long is the appointment?
A single piercing runs 30–60 minutes total — that includes consultation, placement marking, the piercing, and aftercare walkthrough. Two-lobe first-piercing bookings run 45–75 minutes. Kid or nervous-client first piercings run 60–90 minutes because the walkthrough takes more time. Family or group bookings run 90 minutes or more depending on the number of people. Jewelry-change appointments run 15–30 minutes.
How soon can I book?
Bunny's piercing calendar usually runs 1–3 weeks out — faster than Apollo's tattoo bookings. For a family group or a first-piercing appointment with specific scheduling requirements (school schedules, family visits), reach out a little further in advance. Deposits hold appointment windows. Walk-ins are occasionally accommodated but never guaranteed; the booking process is the reliable path.
Ready to book your first piercing?
Pick the placement. Name the client's age. Walk in prepared.
Apollo consultations with Bunny's bench work best when the placement, the client's age, and any relevant medical history are ready. If the booking is a first piercing, a kid's ear piercing, a family group, or a gentle starter piece, her bench is the match. For curation or complex work, the studio routes to Blue.
