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.

Sorry, I couldn’t post this as a video for some reason. There was no ‘Submit’ button…

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,...

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.
