Work of Art on E. Tropicana pairs Katelyn Cole's ear curation and implant-grade jewelry with Joshua Cole's custom tattoos — one licensed studio, sterile setup, and aftercare coaching built for Vegas heat.
We use exclusively pre-sterilized, Southern Nevada Health Department 316L surgical-grade stainless steel for optimal healing and safety. For 14k gold or other specialty metals, please inquire one week in advance for custom procurement.
Beyond standard health codes. Hospital-grade sterilization, single-use needles, and a fully aseptic procedure environment.
Every piercing is placed with a deep understanding of your unique ear anatomy to ensure longevity and visual harmony.
Whether you want a first ear piercing, a second lobe, or a full curated ear — piercing on the ear is placement-critical. We treat every earring piercing and cartilage point as anatomy-first: correct angle, jewelry length, and swelling room so your piercing for the ear heals flat in Vegas dryness.

Helix body piercing is one of our most requested cartilage services — upper-helix, forward helix, and stacked helix points planned as one composition. Unlike mall piercing guns, every helix body piercing here uses sterile needles, implant-grade or gold-fit jewelry, and anatomy mapping so the ring or stud sits flush and heals in desert climate.
We stock helix-friendly hoops and labrets; premium helix body piercing jewelry can be ordered ahead for 14k gold builds. Pair helix work with lobe or conch points for a full curated ear — see healed helix examples in our gallery below.

Real ear piercing work from our studio — not stock photos. Starter length, swelling room, downsizing, and healed angles documented in Vegas.

Placement and angle marked for your anatomy — implant-grade starter jewelry sized for swelling.

Fresh cartilage or lobe — implant-grade studs with extra post length for swelling.

Around 6–8 weeks swelling drops — this is when downsizing protects the angle and prevents bumps.

Downsize to a shorter post or swap ends once the fistula is stable — booked as a check-in, not a mall kiosk.

Flat and conch starters sit long on purpose — shortening too soon causes embedding and bumps.

Client wanted a balanced constellation without crowding the helix. We measured anatomy, picked implant-grade titanium, and staged piercings so swelling on one side did not complicate the other.
