Tattoo Research

One of the customers that came in that day had a “body suit” which means his entire body is well on its way to fully covered in tattoo artwork. When I asked him, what was his next tattoo he teared up and began telling me how his grandmother had passed 3 days before and he was there to have a monument in representation of her life as a veteran in the military and living to the ripe old age of ninety-six with seven children, fourteen grandchildren, and a great-grandmother to eleven. He pulled a crumpled piece of paper out of his pocket and showed me a note she left him just last week telling him to get a tattoo of her somewhere on his body before all the good spots were gone. The young man smiled and said, tattoos are therapeutic. Kearstin pointed out several of his tats and said “scratchers” got a hold of him. Seeing the confused look on my face she explained that a “scratcher” was an inexperienced tattooer that inks too deep or has a heavy hand known as prison tattoos

Modesty goes out the window if you want a tattoo someplace below the panty line or a nipple. He also had to know where cartilage and fat are in the body and where not to pierce. Unlike tattooing where you can get a tat anywhere, piercing is a bit more limited.
Aftercare with piercing is just as important as aftercare with a tattoo. When it comes to jargon, the piercer wins by a landfall. So many terms I could not remember all of them, but here are a few from the top of my head. First, you have “starter jewelry” or basic piercing jewelry which is any surgical stainless steel, titanium or BioPlast jewelry used in a new piercing. Basic piercing jewelry is usually very simple; often just a plain metal barbell with metal balls or a plain metal captive ring, although some basic piercing jewelry adorns with a single gem or other more decorative ends.
