Piercings
I'm planning to pierce as a way of income.
hopefully i'll get to work with my tattoo artist at his shop Or independently at my house. Anyways, i'm planning in the next 2 months to have my Madonna, Lebret, Left nostrel and right eye brow done. Anyone else pierce? If so... hows it going? was it easy to learn? ect. |

Personally I think you should have either the Madonna or the Labret... not both. Your face will end up looking too busy. I've got my nose and madonna done and it's just enough. Too much metal in the same area just doens't look good IMO.
It's your call though... I mean it's your body right? BTW I think those elf ears will look awsome on you =) |

How much for an eyebrow? I've got 2 on my right brow and planning to "symmetrize" it. But only 1 on the left.
Good Luck w/ the career. :keebler: Always wanted to be a piercer/tattooist myself, but suck at drawing and "torturing" or "stabbing" others. |

my mom had her own peircing shop and so she taught me how to it, it's a really good source of income just as long as you don't give too many of your friennds deals beacause then they go and tell thier friends that u'll do the same for them.. yeah it wasn't that hard to learn just you have to make sure you know exactly what your doing and how to fix it if it screws up.. good luck!

I think i'm holding off on the modonna until the others are done, just because its the one i wanted least. :) Thanks for the tip.
ohh hehe elf ears soo excitting, I want to learn how to do that, and implants I really can't do tattooing/banding.. tho. shops charge so much for piercings.. i can understand tattoos but they get the piercing stuff for like pennies man. they over charge.. I know two people who are very good who do it for under 30$ (this includes ring) I wouldn't want to over charge ither, thats why i want my own shop eventually, but it would be mixed with my Bookstore/tea shop. :kimmie: Goat thats funny My tattoo guys amazing, but his piercings are only so so. My friend jon <3 has i thin its 25mm plugs in his first holes and 4's in his second. a 12 guage in his bridge a his lips are alll up to 6 G's now. he had one 4 g nipple and one 6 G nipple. his septem is close to a 0 (yeah.. its fucking huge) 6 in his belly button 12 in his madusa oh and two 12's in both his nostrles. :) plus 3 implanted beads in his chest. then the tats. :p he's a funny boy that guy is. |

I worked in a piercing shop for two years..but I never actually pierced..I did all the fun things like scrubbing tools, changing beads...helping with piercings (cleaning, hand holding, etc.) and it was certainly the most interesting job I've ever had. I seriously met all kinds of people coming in really from all walks of life...
the money CAN be really good - but you need to get an established clientele and/or be in a busy place to do so. There are lots of days/weeks/months where the money can be realllly slow though. The best way to learn is to get someone who you can apprentice (but it does mean doing a lot of their bullshit work for them during that..) It's something that I think at the time (I was 16-18) was really cool, now i'm pretty much over it..I've only kept a few of my piercings. |
