SUBMITTER COMMENT: To the people commenting on the tattoo owner’s photo: When you are complementing this tattoo, are you lying or lying?
WHAT’S AWFUL: The lines are shaky. The tattoo looks like it was retraced, as some letters’ lines are doubled. Ink usage on each word is not evenly distributed, and on some, too much ink is used. The alignment of the letters are not at...

SUBMITTER COMMENT: So I’ve seen some posts about people related to/knowing a hairdresser who claims to be a licensed piercer and, while we all know this can’t possibly be true I wanted to offer a little bit of information on where it comes from for those who don’t know. I am a hairdresser, I have a coworker who claims to be a licensed piercer. When he was in beauty school a guy...

Safe Piercing inbox: surface anchor questions
safepiercing:
Q: I’ve been considering getting a hip piercing but I still don’t fully understand the concept of a microdermal piercing. Please explain. And if it’s not too much trouble, can you also explain if getting a hip piercing removed is a complicated/painful process?
Microdermal piercings (surface anchors) are essentially a small post inserted into a single point piercing, different end...

just plain bad
submitter comment: I came across these photos on facebook. The work is coming out of a shop called Evil By Needle.
whats awful:
As usual, the comment section was flooded with praise for these horrible tattoos. I wish people would just STOP and LOOK at the work for a second before encouraging these atrocious pieces to continue being placed permanently on peoples bodies. Ignorance is tolerated...

Multiple stories.
1.) The new ASL (American Sign Language) teacher at my high-school is a nice person, supportive, humorous, and a good teacher. He has a few piercings (nostril, a few in his ears), all of them well taken care of from what I can tell. But what I cannot stand is his constant giving of inaccurate piercing advice. He cut into a conversation I had with a friend about her wanting a Monroe piercing,...

SUBMITTER COMMENT: This chick I used to follow on tumblr is barely 15 years old and has her eye brow pierced. So I asked how she got it done and she said her sister did it for her. She was a bit rude about me warning her of what could happen, obviously people like to stay ignorant. She also plans on getting more piercings done by her sister too, she had a whole list of them asking her followers...

A friend of mine posted this to my wall on facebook a few minutes ago and I HAD to post it on here before going to bed.

WHAT’S AWFUL: Everything… EVERY SINGLE THING! And the scissors?! Why are scissors being used to insert a surface anchor… then the lack of gloves, unsterile piercing area, dirty (and wrong) tools...

My Neighbors
SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: I had a neighbor whose boyfriend bought a tattoo gun. Every couple of days for a few weeks, one of them would come outside and show me their new additions. They were ALWAYS wonky and awful looking. Another neighbor told me to draw out her husband’s name so she could get it tattooed on her ankle by this guy IN HIS HOUSE. So I did. I don’t have a picture of it,...

SAFE PIERCING: Q: How can you tell if you have a... →
safepiercing:
Good question!
There are many things to consider, but I’ll touch upon the ones I feel are very important. 1) The cleanliness of the procedure is of the utmost importance. Was it a professional studio? Was the studio clean and well kept? Does the studio use an autoclave (sterilizer) that is…

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: I stumbled upon this as I am following multiple piercing blogs. Forgive me If the source is incorrect, i’m still getting used to my macbook.
WHAT’S AWFUL: Everything in this image looks wrong. The hip piercings have incorrect jewelry (straight barbells) and are clearly rejecting, both navel piercings are extremely shallow, the tattoo surrounding...

safepiercing:
Q: Hi can you tell me some information about Nipple Piercing? like the pain, the care, and how easily it can get infected? or any other information i should know about it?
Most piercings, when done well, are pretty easy. Expect a bit of a pinch but if you choose a skilled piercer it…

So, there was a girl at school who told me she was getting a tattoo done…in her house. By a guy who is apparently licensed, from what i know he’s around 19, and probably a scratcher; not a professional.
This is how this type of tattoo should look:
And, this is how hers looks:

A little story.
So, I see a lot on tumblr and facebook about people poorly stretching their ears. I’ve got a little story. I had been stretching for five years. The last three I stretched properly and slowly, but for the first two I was young and super stupid. My ears were totally wrecked and I just spent a grand and a half getting my ears sewn up because they looked terrible. STRETCH THE RIGHT WAY!...

Microscopic View of Needles
awfulmodifications:
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.
