Saw this video and cringed

I don't really know what's worse, the guy that's having it done, or the piercer(if that's what he is, for all I know he could be just a random guy).

Please kids, don't follow in this dude's footsteps :)

That wasn't a piercer, that was a sadist with a needle. I mean they actually make 5mm needles, so why?

Re: Saw this video and cringed

Don't forget that MASSIVE claw taper. I mean, the piercer should have known that the stretching would have been more painful than just piercing at 4g with a needle. It was already an 8g needle, so what's two more sizes when you're going to shove a huge ass steel claw through it to get those 2 sizes, anyway?

I'm pretty sure that wasn't a fresh piercing he got, it seems to me that he started with a regular piercing and just went in to get it stretched.
But I do agree, he'd be better off just getting pierced at a larger size, now he'll have all that wonderful scar tissue to deal with.

Re: Saw this video and cringed

I'm pretty sure it was a fresh piercing, title is 5mm tunnel at once, plus, at the very beginning, you can see the needle. Realistically, the scar tissue wouldn't be much worse than if he'd pierced with a 5mm needle. If it's a fresh piercing being stretched, it's not like your tearing healing skin, it was just cut 5 seconds ago. The pain, IMO, would be the worst part. Either way, it was really dumb. LOL

I guess it's hard to tell, but it could have been a fresh piercing.
Either way, it's still a retarded thing to do >_<

A claw with awesome ridges and bumps all over it, as well. Because at that point, I suppose it doesn't matter anymore, might as well shove a bamboo stake in there and call it a day.

Re: Saw this video and cringed

Ouch!!! Why the hell would you do that when you can just get pierced at that size? I don't blame the poor guy, just the moron of a "piercer" who thought it was okay and is probably ruining the ears of tons of other people too. Ugh.
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!
