Placement
Where piercings go and what the jewellery looks like. The drawings cannot say whether a placement suits your anatomy.
What to notice
The marker shows roughly where a named spot sits on a plain outline. Bodies vary, so the exact position will too.
These drawings explain a term. They are not anyone’s work or results.
