Mine ear is enamoured by thy note;

So is mine eye enthralled to thy shape;

And thy fair virtue's force perforce doth move me;

On the first view to say, to swear, I love thee.

About Us

A little space to find out more about the people behind Titanium's Enthralled.

 

The Web Mistress: Ku (Lara Roberts) received a basic piercing apprenticeship from Ewen Mcclelland at Pierce-Me studios in Plymouth but after her apprenticeship ended suddenly was brought under the wing of Denise Wiltshire from Transfix Piercings in Grimsby and is currently producing small, private, piercing work for a career portfolio.

 

The Wise One: Denise Wiltshire is a professional body piercer and owner of Transfix Piercings. Denise supports Titanium's Enthralled with her years of experience in the business and is on hand to help answer any unusual or complicated piercing problems!

 

The Editor: Amy Crabtree. Designer, Editor and tester for Titanium's Enthralled. Amy is both the guinea pig and the clever mouse, she tests out the forums, prods around pages and managed to come up with a rather snazzy site name! She also happens to own a Mac-book and some snazzy graphics software.

 

The Graphic Designer: Piggy Corrosion (Luke Gosling) - Banner maker, Photoshop owner and long suffering friend who created the banner for the site and then changed it, took out the background, put the background back in, tweaked it, changed the font, changed the font back, turned it black and white, changed it back to colour, added in stripes, added in bells and whistles, made it bigger...

 

The Support: Ewen Mcclelland. Ewen is a Professional piercer and tattoo artist with years of experience working at Pierce-Me in Plymouth and despite no-longer being my mentor continues to support the website. Without Ewen's expert tutorage, guidance and responses to endless questions this site would never have managed to come into existence!

 

The companies - ZendFree and Co.Nr - Free webspace and an easy to type web address. These two companies played a big role in the initial production of Titanium's Enthralled giving us our space on the internet and a name people can remember!

The Site's name is based on a quotation from A Midsummer Night's Dream where the fairy queen Titania talks about falling in love with something so unusual (A human with a donkey's head). For me this summed up how I felt about my piercings - no matter how odd it may be I truly love them! Being a performance artist also I couldn't resist the personal link this gave the site to my theatre background so when Amy suggested the name Titanium's Enthralled (Like 'Titania's Enthralled') I jumped on it!

 

A part of me is in Love with contradictions too. I run a site about being enthralled by titanium (standard initial piercing jewellery in the UK) when I myself am actually allergic to the metal and have to be pierced with PTFE instead. There is something deliciously poetic about that!

 

Titanium's Enthralled was originally created to support the client's of Pierce-Me studios and the hundreds of young people posting on Yahoo! Answers looking for aftercare solutions and advice. Since its humble beginnings on tiny free forum and webspace servers Titanium's Enthralled has rapidly expanded onto its own private server and is now used as aftercare sheets in both professional piercing studios and young people's health centres!
