  11. jesus dude, why are you getting so worked up?!
    who cares if he did or didnt already have piercings there, its just a couple of little holes that will heal up within a couple of minutes of him taking them out

  23. I love it when people get worked up about the guy doing it “right” when it’s fairly obvious from the photo that he’s kidding around.

  45. A variation on lip sewing. 🙂

    Nice picture.

    Now my comment on a remark of safetypin play piercings.

    It is right that using safety pins for play piercings is not a suitable tool. But getting good (injection) needles is often a problem. Simply complaining it is unsafe is not enough. Telling how to get good needles (the biggest problem) and telling how to play-pierce safely is a much better option. Look at Youtube and you’ll see a lot of movies people are using safety pins, sewing needles, sewers as play-piercing tool.

    Normally people won’t go to a piercer for some play piercings. People went only to piercers if they want a definitive piercing. So, I also did some play-piercings with safetypins before I have any connections in the body modification movement. Later my suspension piercer told me it potentially risky to pierce yourself with safety pins because of several reasons.

  47. #5. Where did blindly insulting chavs and emos come into this? See here I was thinking that people at modblog were all friendly and accepting. It sucks when somebody like you comes along.

  59. Back In The Day we *all* pierced our ears with safety pins ’cause it was “trashy” to have more than one hole so it was DIY or nothing. Nobody lost a head. 🙂

  63. THANK YOU Elizabeth. I was trying to point out something similar a few weeks ago on a different post (about a roadside tattoo artist in Nepal) and got yelled at by several people. Not to minimize the threat of HIV, hepatitis, or MRSA (or assorted other nasties), but for most other bugs we do have something called an immune system.

  71. I agree with #30, I pierced my nostril, and lobes… a few times, with safety pins that I filed to a sharper point, disinfected then as much as possible with what I had (the moms a nurse yay) and guess what

    NO HEP FOR ME! WOOT WOOT!

    oh and p.s. piercing DIY with a safety pin can’t be that much worse than our grandmothers piercings their own ears with god knows what, and healing them with craptasticly cheap costume jewelry.

  73. I remember my mom telling me about her piercing experience-a needle (non-hollowed), piece of straw and chunk of apple. That was in the 60′s and just for lobes.

  95. When I was 11 or 12 I pierced my eyebrow with a sewing needle and rammed a safety pin into it. I knew nothing about piercing and just really wanted an eyebrow ring. It ended up getting horribly infected and almost rotting out of my face. I still have a pretty nasty scar from the huge puss bubble that I ended up with. I’ve learned a lot since and I now buy sterilized hollow needles right from BME shop when I have to poke a new hole. 🙂
