Debby is meanwhile no stranger to Inksane. In the past she had some piercings put heren, among others her second nose piercing and a vertical labret (the lip piercing that goes above and below her lower lip). These were all set by Stéphanie, our main piercer. Briefly she came to supplement her collection with a philtrum, better known as medusa (the piercing in the dimple between the nose and upper lip). Nevertheless she also considered other shops, she is convinced of Inksane Because of customer friendliness. "9 out of 10 chances I still come back to Inksane To get a piercing", said Debby.

"Without piercings, I am not myself."
In addition to travel, piercings are also a part of her identity. She told us that she simply feels good about it. Maar what she then said, touched the heart for a moment anyway "if I didn't have piercings I would feel a huge emptiness, exactly like I am not myself".
