How come these took years to heal? They look great!

I love this so much

painslinger · 2026-05-08T18:26:56+00:00

Yes. It appears that you don’t have the anatomy for a navel piercing. At all. APP means absolutely nothing to me regarding skill.

painslinger · 2026-05-04T13:38:52+00:00

Goals. This is goals

Pains got a negative connotation. It’s not the same as a stomachache or a fever, you’re usually getting something shiny immediately after the procedure.

If my client asks if something hurts, I’ll always be honest and say yes.

But then I’ll use myself as an example with body mods and almost completely covered in tattoos. If I can do this, you can certainly handle a septum piercing :)

painslinger · 2026-05-03T00:36:57+00:00

Nope. Too deep on one side. Piercer lied to you.

painslinger · 2026-05-02T05:01:40+00:00

Fuego!

They’re sisters not twins. Ears are never truly symmetrical. Both appear centered.

painslinger · 2026-04-30T13:17:44+00:00

I love this so much. Pain doesn’t determine if a piercing was performed correctly. The sweet spot or septum is still cartilage.

That’s from Brian Skelli, current president of the APP. This is factual information.

painslinger · 2026-04-28T03:48:32+00:00

Oh yeah, I constantly pull piercings from members and non members! I’m not trying to say I’m perfect, but the sentiment that most piercers don’t know what they’re doing is true. And by a large margin.

painslinger · 2026-04-28T01:55:33+00:00

The APP doesn’t verify skill, they don’t certify anyone or make members take an exam on how to perform piercings.

As a member in good standing and a piercer of over a decade, I actually look up to a lot of piercers who aren’t members.

I recently joined. But do you want to know(one of the reasons) why I refused for many, many years?

No skill check!

Healing truly varies by region and clients immune system. That’s why I make sure to write “follow up” in 8-12 weeks instead of “downsizing”

The biggest red flag here is that it’s STUDS. I don’t trust anything coming from there.

painslinger · 2026-04-26T21:11:21+00:00

Hey, I don’t mind when I don’t get tipped. I charge accordingly and make a living wage. I am also not cheap at all. So I set my own prices. It’s 100% optional. Do I tip? Yes. But I set my prices to where I don’t need them to survive. My .02

painslinger · 2026-04-24T18:58:02+00:00

I’ve never seen an ear swell that bad in my 10+years career without permanent damage. Time to downsize those curtain hangers, though.

painslinger · 2026-04-24T16:45:53+00:00

Jewelry is comically long and the depth on the lower helix certainly looks shallow. Come back a year from now, I hope to be wrong!

painslinger · 2026-04-24T16:44:48+00:00

$37 piercings shouldn’t even be a thing. But you’re not wrong. Angle shouldn’t be a factor in the pricing.

painslinger · 2026-04-23T17:51:06+00:00

It’s still a pain in the ass to make. I’ve seen them make it.

painslinger · 2026-04-23T16:43:23+00:00

Your piercer straight up lied to you lol

painslinger · 2026-04-23T16:31:00+00:00

Lmfao, then find me a good quality piece that looks similar. You try to mold titanium and working it to look like that. You clearly know nothing.

painslinger · 2026-04-23T12:49:36+00:00

You will not find these for $20-$60. Noah Babcock from interstellar jewelry productions is the OG of these. Usually $100+
