vixenvi asked: I think it depends where the blue banana is. I didn't know much about modifications, but the place I went to pierced all of my piercings with needles. I also had a second assistant in the room to monitor that the piercing was going correctly, and they both second opinion the positions to make sure they matched up. The only issue I had was that the exit wounds on my nipples were at a slightly...

About the lobe of the APP piercer
So forgive me for not doing this in “ask” form, but I apparently can’t submit a question without first joining tumblr, and I’m not doing that just to ask one question to one blog.
Anyway, I’m the one who uploaded the picture of that lobe that I *THINK* belongs to an APP piercer (I am literally not able to confirm whether he is or not, however). Blowouts are bad....
manvanindustries asked: How much does a pirate charge for piercings? ... A Buccaneer! Smile some ya mook
trembleinmywake asked: Is it me, or does everyone who gets a bad tattoo from a scratcher use 'I moved allot' as a excuse for the terrible line work?
sp4cekid asked: It amazes me that people that get pierced unprofessionally still bitch about pain. Well yeah, if someone that doesn't know what they're doing is jamming a frayed germ covered needle that's been 'sterilized' with rubbig alcohol and a lighter, it's going to fucking hurt, significantly more than a professional one.
milkplus-synthemesc asked: You can actually request a needle to be used at blue banana, I had my nose pierced there and it was all very proffessional, pierced with a 1.2mm titanium labret :) not all blue banana's are awful, thought I will say I wouldn't go there for a more complex piercing.

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: I found this on facebook today. These two 17, 18 years old I just want to bring this here. It looks like to was done at home and very poorly. Just thought you would enjoy this.
hananathebanana33 asked: My housemate, after a night out, invited a guy who works in a local scene shop (Blue Banana) back to ours. I complained about their piercing because they use guns "only" for ears and nose. I tried to explain the danger of piercing guns and they were having non of it, saying guns were more accurate. It's so sad how uneducated people are when it comes to piercings. Why don't they...

Another "piercing gun" scare story.
This took place while I was staying with my back-then boyfriend in Adelaide, Australia. I lived in a suburb (I don’t recall seeing ANYONE with tattoos; those that were considered “alternative” were merely teens with too much black make-up), and the only place to get piercings were the jewelry store in a mall an hour away.
Back then I did not research nor know about how bad...

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: Saw this while watching TLC and thought I’d share\
WHAT’S AWFUL: This guy is doing tattoos at home, probably in an unsanitary environment, and while sitting close to his 18 month old child HOW IT CAN BE FIXED: Get an actual shop and be professional and KEEP THE BABY OUT

My Piercing
SOURCE: Myself
SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: This was my first cartilage piercing done with a needle. I got this piercing done at Steady Tattoo in Minneapolis over a year ago. The piercer asked me what kind of jewelry I wanted for the hole—in which I believe he shouldn’t had asked me. He should have told me that I should get the straight barbell for my new piercing. I went...

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: His friend of a friend did it.
WHAT’S AWFUL: the shading is horrible, uneven lines. all in all looks like a mess.
hananathebanana33 asked: It angers me when people jump down your throat, just because they've had a "good experience" with being pierced with a gun. I got my first and second lobe piercings pierced with a gun. My first holes when I was 11 and my mum didn't know better. My second holes when I was 19 and I didn't know the dangers of piercing guns. Just because I was lucky and didn't have...

Submitter’s Comment: First of all, sorry if my English isn’t good, I’m not a native speaker.
I got my industrial done in October, 2012. I went to a “reputable” piercing studio near my house to get it done. I was told that the barbell was “high quality stainless steel”, the first week was healing normally, like a normal piercing, after...
