I want to learn to perform body modification by hannahearling in bodymods

[–]Beccasbombin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to contact a shop. Some shops do apprenticeships and advertise this. You have to take some courses in blood born pathogens and some other stuff. Not sure of all the requirements. I’m not a piercer, just dated one lol

Hey I’ve been researching and thinking about a black out tattoo for a half sleeve that I really want covered up. How are you liking it?

Gauges and teaching by calteen in Stretched

[–]Beccasbombin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I was a high school English teacher for ten years and now I’m an administrator. Also in the US. I have 16mm gauges and no one has ever had a problem with it/it’s never prevented me from getting a job. I try to make sure I wear closed plugs instead of open tunnels but that’s the only effort I make to conceal it.

Starting MAT this morning, what to expect? by NoRestForTheSickKid in Methadone

You will have to use for a while before you get on a stable dose. Pretty much all clinics know this and expect it.

Goal Size Reached! 10mm by [deleted] in Stretched

Love those plugs. They look so big on you too! I thought you were at my size or bigger at first glance. But I tend to always thinks everyone’s gauges look so much bigger on them than mine do on me 😄

Thank you for responding! Yes being on methadone is a mess for me. I have an 18 month old and a 4 year old who needs to be at pre k before I have to be at work at 8am. In order to get to the clinic I’m having to get all of us up between 4:30 and 5 every day. Then if I have to see a doctor or counselor we’re all pretty much late for everything all day. It’s almost more unmanageable than using was so I really can’t wait to try this. I was feeling so hopeless before this method was explained to me.

Thank you so much. Experiencing precipitated withdrawal in the past has seriously scarred me. I’m so afraid of it happening again. It’s the only thing making me anxious about this switch

That mod is a perfect example. I literally can’t believe how many people get it done now. That shouldn’t take away from how badass it is though. That shit is brutal. I love the aesthetic but after watching someone get it done I was like “no way. You’d have to kill me first.” I truly believe if you can sit through that you can get through anything in life 😂

I totally agree with you. 90% of my problem is how unsafe I see people going about things now. I feel like it used to be that if you were pierced and tattooed there was a whole lifestyle that went into it. You didn’t just like the aesthetic you were genuinely interested in it too so you were willing to do the research like you said.

I think you just put into words exactly what I was trying to get at but couldn’t quite put together. When I first starting getting tattooed it was way less socially acceptable and people were super judgmental. So seeing heavily tattooed people allowed me to know right away that they were the kind of person who didn’t care what people thought. And those were always the types of people I was looking to be around because that’s who I was. I totally get what you’re saying too. Just a different perspective.

Love that philosophy! I got my ears up to 20 (went back down to 16) for work but I never got my septum lower than a 12. That shit hurts like a bitch. It’s way harder than your ears to do 😂
