@adriancastillo has been an integral part of the 108 family for almost a decade. His nomadic spirit has allowed us to remain a small but consistent team, servicing both coasts on a regular basis.

He started his piercing career in Orange County, California but eventually made his way to the east coast. There have been several iterations of “home base” but Adrian is currently splitting time between the Catskills, Brooklyn and Los Angeles. In addition to piercing, Adrian is a passionate activist and musician.

Anyone who has shared space with Adrian is instantly disarmed by is endearing playful sense of humor. Not taking himself too serious- he feels familiar, like a long lost friend.

Drop a comment below if you’ve had the pleasure of working with Adrian. Share your experience, or just give him some appreciation. We love hearing from you.

You can catch Adrian by appointment in our Brooklyn or Los Angeles locations. To schedule- follow the links in our bio or email us at info@jcolbysmith.com by @108.us

The Micro Navel

I discovered the subtle beauty of micro navels while trying to find interesting ways to resurrect my clients’ long-forgotten navel piercings.

I would hear the same story over and over: 16 and loving it, 36 and feeling too old and not loving the reminder left behind. It kind of hit me that a piece of jewelry is better than staring at an empty hole.

To be clear, I don’t think anyone ages out of piercings, but I do believe that your jewelry should evolve with you. Although, if you hang on long enough, you will eventually be back in style. 🤪

The navel, in my opinion, is a perfect place to dress up. Similar to an earlobe, it’s just begging to be decorated. Not every navel is a candidate, which makes it feel even more special when it is. The body has a way of telling us what it wants and what it can handle.

Traditionally, I always found navel jewelry to be too clunky. With most of my work, I try to complement the body and not make the piercings look forced or the focal point. Quietly confident! ❤️‍🔥

Spring is here, summer is around the corner. Let’s either fill that empty hole or make a new one and get you adorned.

DM me if you want to do an anatomy consultation or order jewelry. Follow the link in my bio to schedule an appointment.

If you like what I do, you can support me by giving this a like, comment, save, and sharing it with your friends.

We created a new collection we are calling the ‘Recession Collection’. It features Moissanite rather than Diamond and is set in 14k yellow gold instead of 18k. This combo reduces the price point sufficiently. Schedule an appointment and come see us.

WASH IT | Piercing Cleanser

We have been quietly developing this product over the last year. Excited to finally giving it birth.

WASH IT is a post piercing hypoallergenic cleanser, uniquely formulated to assist the healing and health of new piercings. In addition to sanitizing, WASH IT also helps reduce inflammation and irritation while gently moisturizing and soothing new piercings.
