tolive-and-tolose asked: I saw your BAF post, and I'd also just like to throw out that they're REALLY good about getting your jewelry to you quickly. They don't waste time. And like you said, they're very reasonably priced/affordable. I couldn't be happier with them. (:

smugdeadlemon replied to your post: So…I did a stupid thing. Don’t feel bad; I’ve seen quite a few popular tumblrs do this before. I can’t fathom why there isn’t a prompt for it. Haha. It’s probably some sort of miracle that it took me this long to do that…

So...I did a stupid thing.
I hit a button and accidentally deleted our ENTIRE inbox. I didn’t even have an option to be like “no i didn’t want to do that kthnx” because tumblr didn’t ask… SO, if you had any submissions or burning questions that haven’t been answered or posted, it’d be lovely if you could resubmit. It doesn’t look like there is currently anything in our...

Submitter Comment: These popped up on my Facebook news feed.A friend of mine first posted her boyfriends “tattoos” and then posted herself also getting “tattoos”.  I then commented and called her out saying “Have fun with infections and a terrible tattoo” and she goes “what are you talking about? These are completely legit in my kitchen”...

Bring worn jewelry in a baggie or other sealed container. Never place worn jewelry on the counter or display. In the restroom:  Don’t handle your piercings (see above). It is never appropriate to...

SOURCE Submitter’s comments: My acquaintance is super into anime. I love Sailor Moon, so this breaks my heart. What’s awful: Lines look like a drunk person did it. The circles are wonky. This doesn’t even warrant a “you tried” star! (Have at it and add in any thing else you see fit) How it can be fixed: Stop going to your “Tattoo artist” friend....

SAFE PIERCING: can a hard material (titanium, for... →
safepiercing: It’s a common misconception that you need plastic in an oral piercing to avoid tooth and gum damage. It’s less about the material and more about the size. Many oral piercings are performed with slightly longer jewelry to account for swelling. Once the swelling has passed the jewelry needs to be downsized

SOURCE:(Not directly linked as it’s just my photobucket) SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: Well, a little history I guess. These are my lobes today. (Please note they’re not actually this yucky pinky-red, I have a pink light which reeks havoc on my photo levels) I had them pierced with a gun when I was 12 at a hairdressers, where my aunt signed me off pretending to be my mum. Quality stuff,...

Just curious mainly. __________________________________________ MODERATOR’S COMMENT: I’m not gonna go too in-depth here because I’m not sure if this has been posted before, but they’re acrylic. We do not recommend stretching with acrylic anyway, so the material  makes it a...

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: I’m actually submitting myself on here in hopes people will read this and take their time before getting a tattoo. I was 16 when I got this done (in Idaho, you could get tattooed at 14 with parental consent.) I brought in a very clear picture of the leaves, and told him I wanted it exactly like the picture. Needless to say, I did not get it. The stencil looked...

PPD Based "henna" tattoos.
http://shine.yahoo.com/beauty/caution—some-temporary-tattoos-leave-permanent-scars—184102247.html WHAT’S AWFUL: people claiming to use ‘black henna’ that the FDA has PPD in it- an approved chemical for hair color, but not directly for skin, off the scalp. HOW IT CAN BE FIXED: be more knowledgeable about those “temporary henna tattoo” places you see on...

This man’s a real winner. WHAT’S AWFUL: Terrible lines, shading, placement, just terrible everything. Bottom line, this is a bad tattoo. HOW IT CAN BE...

Cattle Ear Tagging Response
1. I won’t go preaching the animal debate, but for those who say they’re just going to be steak so it doesn’t matter if you tag them, that’s a cheap shot ignoring the bigger problem. And 2. To those who say piercing guns hardly hurt people, I ended up in the hospital because of one and so have many others. That’s obviously the worst case scenario, but the basic...

lastofthestarmakers asked: Hi, I just wanted to say for one I love this blog; also, my dad who is a farmer, and knows nothing about body modifications whatsoever other than piercings are holes in the body, agrees that guns should not be used on the human body, only to Pierce cattle, which he has done.

Body Art Forms - body jewelry  →
bodyartforms: the-white-burns: I normally don’t fucking scream at people about websites they don’t care about. But this site right here, this site is the shit. It’s fairly cheap (Anatometal is actually somewhat affordable), very good quality, big selection, fantastically fast shipping.  Also it has an autoclave service for $5. You can have you shiny sterile jewelry all shiny and sterile.  I...

Source Source Source SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: This is a local “professional” artist, tattooing in somebody’s house. This images are proudly put up on her facebook and regularly updates with tattoos she has done and ones she has “fixed.” She also makes excuses for why her lines are shaky quite often. She has been tattooing for about one year, and became a...

Sources are linked through the images.  Submitter comment: These are some “set up” shots of an at home subdermal implant procedure. There wasn’t much text with the photos, but she did state that the procedure was done on the bed (second photo). She did post some pictures )not included here) showing the implants before they were inserted. From this I can say that there was...

Unfortunately I’m unable to log in to my tumblr so I have to ask this in a submission, hopefully you guys will answer. I have recently acquired some tattoo flash art sheets and I wanted to know how I would go about selling these since I have no use for them. Do you think that a local tattoo shop would buy them? __________________________________________ MODERATOR’S COMMENT: People...

MODERATOR COMMENT: 1. i totally thought that was a penis. 2. that is someone trying very hard to keep an obviously irritated finger surface piercing in place. 3. what’s wrong: wrong jewelry, clearly annoyed piercing, low quality...
