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,...

safepiercing:
I get lots of clients saying something similar “I’m going to pass out” or “I’m really scared of needles and blood”. As professional piercers we’re not just here to stick a needle in you and send you on your way. We’re here to give you a safe piercing and a pleasant experience. Good bedside…

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,...
