I'm very prone to allergies and I spend most of the time sneezing/blowing my nose/ having a running nose. Would it be okay to get a nose piercing or would it be too aggravated?
I usually have a mild case of allergic rhinitis throughout the year, and have 3 nostril piercings. You just need to be super good with cleaning your nose, and try and get it at a time where you feel you’ll be less likely to suffer. But provided you get it done with a nose screw or microlabret, you should be okay :)

This is going to sound really strange, but can semen cause an infection in a piercing?
Technically no.
It’s a ‘safe’ fluid, like urine etc, and contains no harmful bacteria which could cause an infection.
Best question ever.

(This was a question, but they don’t reblog well)
Found this on youtube.

THERE.
SO.
Yes, I’ve wanted to say this for a very long time, but everyone getting all annoyed about the tattooed clitoris is annoying. No, tattooed genitals doesn’t remove feeling at all. So, calm your geraniums, and please realise we don’t write the comments under submissions unless stated.
THANK YOU.
I think it's funny that it's a guy who said that about the clit tattoo. He'll never understand...
THIS.
so getting tattooed somewhere means you lose feeling there huh? tattooing a clit doesnt make it an awful modification thinking that just makes you a ignorant person, youre are right about a lot of the shit i see on here but just because they tattoo a clit or asshole or dick doesnt mean it doesnt have feeling in it.
…No words, just gif.

Something tells me they have little to no feeling left there. Just a hunch.
Blue Banana's 'DIY Piercing Guide'
This chain of shops have churned out so many horrific piercings, and also gives freaking terrible advice. Here’s what they say about DIY piercing. I counted about 20 mistakes alone!
They churn out so much shit, it’s unreal. Here’s the rest of it, their other guides aren’t too wonderful either: http://www.bluebanana.com/article.php/324/diy-piercingThe trend of DIY piercing is popular among younger groups within the population but it is thoroughly discouraged by both piercing and health professionals. People love this process because, in essence, all you need is a strong needle and a steel nerve. While this is essentially true, it is a dangerous process that should only be done by professionals. Some people get away with it but there are those that jump right into at-home piercing without the right knowledge, without having done the research and without the right tools. This can result in holes that get infected and close up, or worse. If you insist on doing DIY piercing, there are some important things to keep in mind.
The DIY piercing process requires you to use the right needle. Some people will just grab the nearest safety pin to do some piercing with. This is a bad idea for a number of reasons. First of all, a safety pin isn’t designed to pierce the skin, it’s simply not sharp enough. If you try to pierce the skin with any kind of needle not designed for piercing, you risk tearing the skin in the wrong way, leaving it open to infection or even mutilation. Secondly, safety pins are as likely to pierce the skin as they are the break off halfway through. So for DIY piercing, make sure you have a suitable needle.
Any DIY piercing equipment should be thoroughly sterilised before use. Sterilising the needles, the skin and your jewellery is very important. When you’re first putting in a piercing, you should only use surgical steel for the stud or ring you want to put in and it should be clean. Use boiling water to sterilise your metal and rubbing alcohol to keep the skin clean before and after piercing. Remember, you’re not just avoiding infection because it’s the smart thing to do, you’re also avoiding infection because a hole that becomes infected is really best left to simply close up in order for it to heal properly. If you want to leave a usable piercing hole, make sure to keep things clean, sterile and professional, even if you’re just doing a little DIY piercing on yourself.
Despite all of this, DIY piercing is dangerous and relatively unpleasant. Professional piercers have the training, the equipment and the knowledge of how to pierce in such a way that they can do it safely and minimise the pain involved in the procedure. Attempting to pierce yourself can lead to torn skin, injury and infection, not to mention that it can be nearly impossible to pierce oneself accurately even with the right knowledge. If you don’t have the right education and equipment, you’re probably better off going to a professional than doing DIY piercing at home.
