Microscopic View of Needles
Source Unknown. But I saw this as a good thing to give to the blog, showing a microscopic view of hypodermic needles after multiple uses. Since they are constructed out of the same material that piercing needles are, you can see the damage reusing piercing needles can be.

Submitter’s Comment: Okay, so I was lurking YouTube with the phrase ‘septum piercing’ since I’m getting one in a few days. During my hunt, I uncovered this… I just… I’m utterly shocked.
What’s Awful: Well, in this video...

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: This girl I know who’s 16, apparently, is tattooing herself and others, she has no experience and I’m assuming she uses the stick-n-poke method seeing as she hasn’t gotten a tattoo machine yet. She’s also pierced her septum and nostril with a safety pin.
WHAT’S AWFUL: This one’s fairly obvious, she’s tattooing herself (more...

Yesterday, I noticed that one of my good friends (she lives in the dorm across the hall from me) came back from Thanksgiving break with her nose pierced - I knew that she had been wanting to get it done, so I figured she finally took the plunge!…until she told me that she did it herself after “taking a ton of shots” and her sister put Ora-jel (a numbing cream used for toothaches)...

So I’ve had some pretty bad luck in the past with piercings and thought I would share a story with you. I’ve had 3 separate piercings done before (excluding my ears) and all have rejected/got infected. Maybe it’s something I’m doing, but I’ll share this and let you be the judge. So for my 18th birthday my boyfriend took me to a tattoo parlor to get my nipples pierced...

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: I actually found her because she copied one of my tattoos. Curious, I checked out her blog and found this. She also has loads of other terrible tattoos. Apparently she pierced her wrist herself, and this is the result.
WHAT’S AWFUL: Self piercing. It’s crooked. The fact that she hasn’t taken it out.
HOW IT CAN BE FIXED: Take it out and...

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: This is a friend of mine from Facebook. When I asked her where she got them done, she said her friend’s dad did them at their house. She is over 18 though.
WHAT’S AWFUL: They weren’t done by a professional, they weren’t done in a sanitary setting, the lines are all wonky, the two sides of the heart on the first one...

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: This girl posted a picture of her piercing herself. she’s 13. First off, there is no way she has any experience. She also claimed it wasn’t the wrong needle, which it clearly is. Until about three or so people commented on it telling her different, she admitted to it being the wrong needle, but just said “oh well. I did it anyway.” I,...

-corruption asked: Hi! So for my first tattoo I want a cover up of a bunch of scars and I know this can be difficult for some tattoo artists, so I was wondering if you guys knew of any reputable shops in the Nebraska/Midwest area. Thank you!

sillyamanda asked: Hi there! I live near Roseville in CA. I have two tattoos that i got at Wild Bills, both by different artists. my second one i still like, but he screwed up the shading a bit. Anyways, I"ve been contemplating another tattoo, but this time on my thigh to cover up a bunch of scars. I'm having a tough time finding a clean, reputable, and talented place to get tattoo'd. If you have any...

Extremely Bad Experience with Claire's Piercing...
My older sister wanted us to get our ears pierced together when we were 12 and 13. My dad took us to Claire’s, where they used a piercing gun to do the job. They gave me surgical steel earrings and clear instructions on how to care for the new piercing. I woke up in the morning less than 48 hours after they’d been done to find that my ears had swollen immensely, to the point that the...

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: This girl that’s on my friends list has gotten several tattoos done by her friend, and this one happens to be the most recent. Not to my surprise, this one looks like shit too.
WHAT’S AWFUL: Need I say anything? She got a tattoo done by her friend in his basement, and it doesn’t look good.

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: She just doesn’t stop, does she? Yep, it’s that one girl. Again. This time she’s piercing someone else’s ear. Joy. And she’s done another piercing on this girl, which has somehow not festered and rotted out of her head quite yet.
WHAT’S AWFUL: No gloves, god knows what she...

Mom outraged over minor being illegally tattooed
(SOURCE)
SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: This entire story is ridiculous, both the man and the daughter are at fault. One for tattooing a minor and two for going behind her mothers back. Someone learn from this please.

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT:
So I finally have my very own piecing horror story.
A few days back I went and got my septum repierced. I went back to the same store when I first got it done, because they did a great job.
The piercer got me to place the clamp where I thought was the best spot and she got another piercer to look and see it was in a good spot. Every time I found an alright spot, the...

Teen mom gets awful mod
(SOURCE)
SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: I’m subscribed to the teen mom star Jenelle Evans on Facebook and she just recently posted this picture of a tattoo done on her stomach…
WHAT’S AWFUL: The line work seems thicker in certain spots, the location is odd and the unevenness…geez. “Cda” on the left looks way to far up on her stomach too.

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: This is my friend Kyle’s tattoo that he got from a home tattoo job. The tattoo is actually supposed to say 19KRZY90 for his birthday and a nickname he just started going by, KRZY.
WHAT’S AWFUL: Just look at it, the K looks like a deformed B and the Y looks like a D, let alone the numbers are all different sizes. This tattoo was also done in a...

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: This is just my own, personal piercing story.
When I was a kid my parents never let me get my ears pierced. So, when I turned 18, I knew I wanted to get them done. HOWEVER. Even though I was of age, one night when I was at my best friend’s house I decided to let him pierce my ears. In an unsanitary environment that has A LOT of cat hair floating around, with some...

Fishing weights???
(SOURCE)
SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: So I was looking up information on ear weights and I found this, an eHow on how to make ear weights out of FISHING WEIGHTS.
For those of you who don’t know, fishing weights are typically made from LEAD.
Do I even need to say why that’s bad?

A Piercee’s Bill of Rights

To be pierced with a brand new, completely sterilized single-use needle that is immediately disposed of in a medical Sharps container after use on one piercing.
To be touched only with freshly...

Surface Bars Gone Wrong
(SOURCE)
SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: I tried to explaining the risk of getting piercing done by a complete amateur. She’s gonna have one hell of a rejection sooner or later. They look completely crooked and too shallow.
Just a few notes on submissions...
1) Can we calm down with the ridiculous assumptions in submissions, please? If you don’t know where the tattoo was done, don’t write in your submission that it was most likely done in an alley by a drunk Claire’s employee or something. It’s enough that the tattoo/piercing is awful, we don’t need a ton of misinformation and speculation about how the person PROBABLY got...

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: A girl who was in my graduating class posted this photo to Facebook. We’re both juniors in college now, but ever since high school she’s been modifying herself and bragging about it. Now I see her proudly posting a photo of her roommate tattooing himself in their bathroom.
WHAT’S AWFUL: No matter how much you try to clean it, that bathroom...

smashedcupcake asked: Sort of have a story: Today, this girl walked up to me and asked me if I could buy a piercing needle for her. She was going to hand me money and everything! Apparently, if you're over 18, this store where I live will sell you a needle so you can pierce yourself. I was pretty dumbfounded not only that some random chick just walks up and asks me, but the fact this store was legit selling...
