Yeah they are! You might want to check and see because they can run them at different angles. Mine is more diagional than probably others but it all depends on the size and shape of your ear. I've seen pics of someone having two industrials criss-crossing each other in the same ear with a cartledge piercing so you never know. I first went to Southern Steel because my belly button piercing got cauht on my shorts one night and ripped and it got infected and I had to take it out and a year later when I went to get it re-done I chose them over going back to Small Town and they were great then and they are still great now. Which then whent I went they were still near the RT. 80/U.S 23 bridge. I am very happy with it, I am just itching to change to a shorter bar...
