Piercing Artist in Batumi — Ekaterina Valiakhmetova
Hi! I'm Kate — a professional piercer based in Batumi. I've been doing piercings for over 5 years, from simple ones to more complex placements, including microdermals. I work with precision and care, using high-quality titanium jewelry and tools prepared fresh for each client. My focus is always on comfort, quality, and a calm experience — from the first visit to full healing.
My Approach to Piercing
Piercing, for me, is about creating a unique style. I take a thoughtful approach to every client — considering your anatomy, preferences, and lifestyle. It’s important to me that your jewelry doesn’t just look good, but actually feels like a natural part of you and fits comfortably into your everyday life.
I know how to make sure your new piercing heals comfortably. I’ll walk you through the right care, what to avoid, common mistakes to watch out for, and what to do if something doesn’t feel right. My approach isn’t just about doing the piercing — I’m here to guide you through the entire healing process, so you feel confident every step of the way.
I know that getting a piercing isn’t just a cosmetic procedure for many people — it’s a mix of emotions, expectations, and a little bit of nerves. That’s why I do my best to create a calm and welcoming space. I truly value your trust, and I want you to feel confident and comfortable throughout the entire experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does piercing hurt?
You will feel it, but only briefly. The actual piercing takes just a couple of seconds, and many clients say, “I expected it to hurt much more.”
How long does a piercing take to heal?
Healing time depends on the area. Earlobe piercings usually take around 3–4 months, while cartilage piercings can take 6 months or longer. Your overall health and how closely you follow my aftercare recommendations also play an important role.
When can I switch to a ring?
Only once the piercing is fully healed. Not before. I’ll help you determine when it’s safe to change the jewelry and can do the first jewelry change for you if needed. I don’t recommend changing it yourself the first time.
Can I get a piercing in summer?
Yes, as long as you follow the aftercare recommendations. The most important things are to avoid touching the piercing with dirty hands and keep it out of open water, including the sea and swimming pools.
What types of piercings do I offer?
I offer all types of ear piercings, including earlobes, helix, tragus, rook, daith, industrial, and conch; lip piercings such as Medusa, labret, vertical labret, Madonna, Monroe, and Jestrum; tongue and smiley piercings; nostril and septum piercings; bridge, eyebrow, navel, and nipple piercings; female intimate piercings; and microdermal implants.
