felicefawn:
Just ordered all the equipment for my medusa piercing. I’ll be piercing at 16g and then downsizing to 18g jewelry when it’s healed, so even if I don’t decide to keep it long term, it won’t leave much more of a scar than I already have from my previous one. The only thing I’m not really looking forward to is having to cut my gum webbing with a scalpel prior to the procedure, as mine...

SUBMITTER COMMENT/what’s awful:
So, several months ago I had posted horrible “how-to” videos from a Youtube account called “FreddysBitch666” and Jessika was given grief about her horrible piercing/aftercare/overall advice, and she was even called out by Elayne Angel. However, Jessika doesn’t seem to get that having a “license to piercer ears”...
whoaitsryn asked: Hey guys! I recently moved up to Cullowhee, NC for college, and I want to find a tattoo place up here. I'm about 40 minutes away from Asheville, so I was going to start there. Can anyone give me any shop named that I can check out? I don't know a lot about the area, that's why I'm asking. Thanks!

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: This is my left ear, which I had re-pierced at a reputable studio two years ago today; the first time around it got infected after a week (my own fault) and had to be removed in A & E. This pair was done by the same piercer above and between the scar tissue from the first pair two months after they were taken out.
WHAT’S AWFUL: I’ve had constant problems with...

Someone on anon submitted up some nipple piercings asking if they’re too deep, but i’ve decided to make this a read more incase you don’t want breasticles on your dash.

They’re far, far too deep. A nipple piercing should be places through the base of the nipple, not the areola....

SUBMITTER COMMENT: This tattoo actually belongs to a friend of mine, and I found the picture on Facebook. Sorry the photo is a bit blurred, it was the only one she had. WHAT’S AWFUL: For a start, she is sixteen years old and this tattoo was done at home by someone who doesn’t have...

ambilevous asked: Next September, I'm going to be in Russia for 9 months and I'd like to get a tattoo while I'm there. I was hoping you guys or one of your followers could give me names or links to artists in Russia (mostly Moscow, but I will be travelling all around). I want to get started on finding an artist now, so I can be sure I'm in good hands. I can't find many artists going through...

ATTENTION ALL FOLLOWERS
Look. If you’re going to put something in a submit asking for advice through an anonymous e-mail, chances are we’re not going to e-mail you with advice or any other statements. So if you want advice, please submit (only if it’s far too long for an ask) through a tumblr account. If you’re asking questions on anon (which i think we turned off anyway), be prepared for your...

Submitter Comment: I saw this on my newsfeed the other day. Once I saw it I immediately thought of posting it here. I know she’s not the brightest when it comes to stretching (wears tapers as jewelry) but I at least thought she’d be smarter than this. Her “tattoo” was done in her house by a friend with INK FROM A PEN. I honestly don’t understand why someone...

This ungodly ear belongs to a girl I know. All the piercings were done at home with safety pins and she stretched from 00g to 5/8ths in a little over a month. Her plugs are way too off center and the piercing next to them shouldn’t be there.
How to fix this: take out the plugs and the other lobe piercing, take time stretching, and go to a professional for all piercings.

This is not an awful modification, this is a good...
I stumbled upon this piercing/body jewelry store in Providence Rhode Island. They are all certified and know what they’re talking about. They’ll pierce you, give you tips and information, and they have top grade body jewelry. To me, it’s like a real life body art forms, but better. Here’s the link for people to check it out and if anyone lives near Providence I would go...
Love waking up to find someone trying to get us to buy escorts and hookers in our ask box.

SUBMITTER COMMENT:
Stumbling across this on my facebook feed, it’s on a girl from school by her boyfriend who just started out tattooing with I’m assuming, a kit they bought off ebay.
What’s awful: Just look at it, oh my god lol. Obviously not done in a sterile environment.
How it...
In Isaac's path? Stay safe, be prepared.

Today I went to Spencer’s to get some tunnels. As I was looking at the tunnels in the case, there was a guy getting some jewelry on the other side of the case. I guess he had chosen some tapers and silicone tunnels. The lady said to him “You don’t need to buy the tapers, you can just get the silicones, stick them in your ears, and they’ll stretch. That’s what I did....

Submitter’s Comment: This kid I know gave himself a stick-n-poke tattoo in his bathroom, which he’s proud of, & gives other (underage) kids tattoos using the stick-n-poke method, & I’m sure by now he’s invested in an unsanitary tattoo machine from e-bay.
What’s Awful: It’s obvious, the tattoo looks like shit, he used the stick-n-poke method...

source: fyeahtattoos http://fyeahtattoos.com/post/29747762769/the-holy-of-holies-is-within-traditional#disqus_thread He just had a bunch of his tattoos up on fyeahtattoos. He says he does them all himself, and while I’m not sure if it was done in proper conditions, it just looks like someone had a go at his arm with a crayon.
Ok, so I live in Central Pennsylvania and every year at the local fairs and carnivals there is this guy who sets up camp and tattoos/pierces out of a renovated ambulance. I wish I were joking, but unfortunately, I’m not. I’ve never approached the guy or had any remote interest to. It’s obvious he’s not tattooing/piercing in a sterile environment and I know for a fact he...
