Tattoos and piercings

[Kay-T-Hammer]

I really appreciate the art, but I don't think I'd ever get one. I'll appreciate them from afar

I want a necklace tattoo for my chickens. 3 roosters, 7 hens. One of my roosters passed away August 4th, 2022, and that little rooster in the tattoo will get a small halo.

Wanna bet

... A small part of me does.

Ears are best for starting. The floppy part. But go to a respectable shop, please, not the mall or hair salon. If they try to use a gun, just walk away. It is not worth it and will only ruin the experience. Also, ask them about flat-backs. They do not stab into your head when you are trying to sleep like the butterfly backings do.

Yes I truly recommend flat backs

Also, a lot of piercing shops sell them that way. I do not know if Siren Body Piercing is country wide, or just in New England, but they offer custom jewelry, too. I want some custom made for my lip.

Thanks!!!

I have -$18 right now. Maybe I should not bet anything until pay day.

I alllllmost bought some needles to pierce my own ears (lobe and helix), but then decided to buy a stun gun instead because I'm scared of possibly giving myself crooked piercings
My current piercings are screwed up anyways tho

Well, that escalated quickly. You went from piercings to 'let's zap people!'.

I like it.



Though I abhor saying things, I must ask that you learn the anatomy of your ear first. Learn your tools, the whereabouts of nerves and the capillaries, and everything else you can learn before trying it yourself. You can seriously damage your ears, and if the helix piercing goes awry, you may even need surgery to correct it. I am not trying to dissuade you, I just want you to be safe while doing it.

Ya I decided someone else could endure pain if I wasn't going to stab my own ears

Oh for sure, I've seen the videos on people crushing their cartilage with those guns and giving themselves nasty infections
I'm supposed to go to a tattoo parlor and get them done at some point, but I don't know that I'll actually get to go. For now I'm good with my two wonky piercings

Wonky can be fun! Are they both the same gauge, and just different positions? Or is one of them an 18 and the other something like a 10?

They both poke outwards. And one used to be higher than the other but they seem to have evened out. The ladies who pierced them angled the guns towards my chin so now hoops go sideways on me.
