(SOURCE) <— Check out more of this piercer’s terrible work. Submitter Comment: SHOP WARNING! This is the work of a piercer that works at Infamous Ink in Waco, TX.  He makes some very questionable decisions when it comes to piercings.  Honestly, I think he would do any piercing as long as he was getting paid for it. What’s Awful: Not only does this “snake eyes” piercing look stupid, but it’s also incredibly dangerous.  The tongue is compromised of eight muscles, and piercing two together is a disaster waiting to happen.  No reputable or knowledgeable piercer would ever consider doing a horizontal tongue piercing like this one. How It Can Be Fixed: For this piercing specifically, the client should just take out the jewelry; problem solved.  However, everything this piercer does is pretty much a hack job so I would just avoid the place entirely.

Submitter’s comment: SHOP WARNING; This is Big Daddy’s Tattoo in Harbor City, CA really close to Wilmington. One of my old friends just got her tattoo finished up here so I checked out their page and OH MY GOD. Some of their stuff is alright, but some of it is just frightening. 

What’s awful: That poor barbell is only just hanging on and I’m sure that’s not just because the piercing is fresh. Seriously, I give that thing like a week before it pops right out. Maybe less.

How it can be fixed: That is a botched job, man. Nothing will save that thing now. Go back and demand a refund because this is just cruel. It needs to be taken out and allowed to heal before the bridge piercing is attempted again. Man, I really hope it doesn’t scar too bad, but that’s also really likely with this piercing. I just can’t believe they would advertise this on their facebook page like they’re proud of it.

Mod comment: I considered editing out the shop’s name, but I gave their FB a browse, and um yeah. So much ill-fitting initial jewelry it needs the warning.

Source Submitter Comment: This girl keeps showing up in my news feed and she is always trying to pierce something new even though the piercings never work out. I have tried telling her how horrible self-piercing can be but she just ignores me completely. What’s awful: She&#8217;s piercing herself in public with safety pins, and she just leaves the needle in there! How it can be fixed: Take the piercings out, let them heal and get them done by a professional!

Submitter comment: I was scrolling through the “ear piercings” tag because I’ve been itching to get  a new piercings and I came across this.

What’s awful: There’s just something terrifying about those industrials. I can see the bar of the “fuck” one struggling to work its way out of the ear.

How it can be fixed: HELP!!!!

Submitter comment: This was found on my Facebook newsfeed, of this guy asking whether he should ‘keep it’. I left a comment explaining the high risk of infection or rejection due to the jewellery not being fit for a surface piecing, and that placement is ridiculous for a straight barbell anyway. He tried to justify the fact he knows what he’s doing because his dad has ‘more original piercings’ than I do and that he apparently knows it’ll get infected but did it for the ‘havoc’ on Facebook. What’s awful: the placement, the jewellery, the general lack of knowledge on why that won’t be a success. How it can be fixed: just take it out! _____ Moderator comment: If you picture the beads as eyes, and the fingers as tentacles, it looks like a little upside-down squid.
