About Me

Steel Skin has been making premium Body Jewelry for over 10 years. We are located in Louisville, Kentucky, and manufacture all of our jewelry here. If you know whats good for you, DO NOT buy cheap, imported externally threaded jewelry. You get what you pay for!
We make all internally threaded jewelry using 316 LVM ASTM F-136, Titanium 6AL4V ELI ASTM F-136 and bio-compatible Dental Acrylic. We are members of the Association of Professional Piercers and meet its high standards and criteria for membership.
While other manufacturers of internally threaded jewelry continue to glue or press fit threads into balls, we have always machined all of our balls out of a soild piece of solid 316 LVM ASTM F-136 Stainless Steel or Titanium 6AL4V ELI ASTM F-136.

My Interests


www.steelskin.com , piercings, hott tattoos, bmx, skating, fast cars, vargas, pinups, illustration, industrial, shoegaze, dreampop, punk, rain, horror, castles, ghosts, vinyl, stripes, packages, painting, architecture, amoeba records, waterloo, synth, giant robot, fashion +

I'd like to meet:

Creative types, music lovers and people with diverse interests. Open minded artists and experimentalists. The pierced, tattooed and modified. Fellow bikers, lovers of shoegaze/dreampop music, those who enjoy traveling and sharing their stories, curious people, sincere people. Outspoken people. Anybody who's been arrested for something they were innocent of while in the midst of committing much grander crimes that went unnoticed. People with dogs. A good Volvo mechanic.Like I said, it's nice to meet people with similar interests, but I equally enjoy meeting people with completely different interests than myself. I enjoy learning from people and being introduced to new things... the world is bigger than your scene.

Music:

industrial, synthpop, darkwave, hardcore, gothrock, shoegaze, dreampop, punk, indie, electronica, britrock, post punk, post rock, experimental, trip hop, downtempo, hip hop, dancehall, japanese indie, metal, bossanova, jazz, sadcore, doo wop, motown, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 80s ++
