mogitha asked: i definitely agree with your mod comment on the too-low-septum post! I had a VERY different experience getting my septum, they had to pierce it with a retainer and i could change it a month later (for straight healing) and i didn't need a clamp (I guess i have a giant sweet spot that could allow for a second septum piercing) and i had to lay upsidedown with my head off the bench thing so she...

Last year, my mom agreed to me getting my helix pierced. We found a shop in Troy, NY (I can’t remember the name) and we went to go get it done. When we got there, there was a woman at the front desk yapping on her cell phone and eating, and we were told to wait until she got off of the phone. When she finally hung up, we asked her what the pricing was and what jewelry she would recommend....

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT:I found this beauty on Amazon while looking for some “goal” plugs for myself (a reward for being patient with my stretching)
WHAT’S AWFUL: I don’t claim to be an expert, but I’m pretty sure that uneven/holey surface is not good for a stretched ear, especially one that’s not healed yet.
HOW IT CAN BE FIXED: do your research...

Stretching with a bolt
Source: http://dayviews.com/piercing-grupp/512008924/ Submitter comment: A sixteen year old guy uploaded this to the “piercing” group on Dayviews.com and stated that his friend tried stretching his ear with a bolt, and that this is the result.
What’s awful:
Disgusting disregard for ones personal health. Even though said uploader has seen the aftermath of poor stretching...

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: A girl I know has a boyfriend who got this tattoo done, the guy said it was his nickname. I found this on Facebook, and most of the comments were positive, with people saying that it was cool and they liked it. The few people that actually said it wasn’t well done got negative responses from him and his girlfriend.
WHAT’S AWFUL: The lines are off,...

Stick and poke
(SOURCE)
SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: I found this on a tattoo tag. The person said that they had a friend stick and poke them using India Ink and this was the result…
WHAT’S AWFUL: Allowing someone to stick and poke you, probably with an unsanitary sewing needle or un-sterilized piercing needle.
HOW IT CAN BE FIXED: Well thats an obvious infection…go see a...

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: This guy does tattoos at his house (very unsanitary). He’s been tattooing everyone he can get his hands on. Even people who are underage.
WHAT’S AWFUL: Look at the line work. VERY wonky and shaky. I’m not even sure what it’s supposed to be. It looks terrible....

SUBMITTER COMMENT: This pin-up was done by a licensed tattoo artist at a shop I used to intern at. It was done in a sterile environment with sterile equipment and gloves, which of course is good.
WHAT’S AWFUL: Despite this being done in a sterile place, the tattoo is still a bit wacky. The shading is off, the lines are a bit shaky, and the proportions are wrong.

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT:
I know there are quite a few lovely [completely awful] blowouts posted here but I thought I’d give it a go. I use to live in the same town with this kid and thought he was a decent person until these gems came up on my newsfeed. These aren’t your normal blowouts. Goodgawd, this is a perfect example of knowing when to just please stop. This was number one,...
