reeshardzeekay asked: Hi there. I just wanted to say something that's on my mind. If something goes wrong, your piercing gets infected, you have a nasty blowout, whatever the problem may be, sometimes seeing your piercer isn't enough. You can follow all their advice (which is definitely helpful) but sometimes it just doesn't cut it. Don't be embarrassed to go see your doctor. They WILL help. Some of...

As an employee of Hot Topic in Virginia, I would like to point out that our body jewelry is tested to be nickel free. Also, the wonderful man who does all my piercings (20+ years experience in the best shop in my town, the owner, Joe Hagerty, shits awards for his tattooing) agrees with me, that aside from our acrylic, our jewelry is very decent, more so than Spencer’s (Who have REALLY fucked...
thechatterpie asked: In regards to lame tattooist excuses: When getting my first tattoo done by an artist at an apparently reputable shop, the guy doing it asked if I was a 'stealth red head'. He said I had really difficult skin to tattoo on, insinuating that A. People with red hair have different skin to the rest of us and B. That I was making his job difficult, when in fact he was doing a shit job in the...
ssketches asked: Despite having absolutely zero intentions on doing any kind of modification on myself (beyond my basic single lobe piercings), this is an informative and nauseating resource to look at. I must hate myself because I can't stop looking for really bad entries to show other friends. It's beyond me why people continue to perform such unsafe practices just to save a few bucks/other reasons. If...

This is a girl I used to know. She did a lot of drugs and thought she was so bad ass. her brother stole her a machine. She tatoos herself and others.
It’s terrible, lines are wonky, under age, unsanitary.
She needs to stop, wait untill she’s of age. Do it right.

Actually it’s pretty common now. Iirc, they’re easier to insert, the ends are easier to change, and they’re less irritating and less easy to rip out of your nose by accident. They’ve pretty much become the standard jewelry for that…
Just because it’s called a “labret” stud doesn’t mean that’s its only use. They’re frequently used...

Do not buy body jewelry from Hot Topic!
I just want to second the other post about not buying Hot Topic body jewelry…I bought some “6g” pinchers and couldn’t get them in my ear; they were too big. I’d been stretched to 6g for months, so there shouldn’t have been a problem, unless of course they mislabeled their body jewelry. I tried to return/exchange them and they refused to take them back even...
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...
