No Bargain Hunting Allowed
Sep 30th 2011, 10:10

At least if you live in the United States, you've probably seen it. The auto insurance television commercial that shows a girl sitting on a couch while her parents are shaking their heads in disappointment and expressing shock and outrage. At this point, we think we see the reason for the upset as the young girl sticks out her tongue revealing a huge barbell. The "punch line" of the commercial, however, is that the parents are not upset that she got a tongue piercing, but that she didn't shop around for the best price!

Cute. At least for once, in a commercial, the body art wasn't the object of disdain. However, the very idea that people should be shopping for a bargain when getting a piercing or tattoo is about as pleasant as a root canal.

What's the Big Deal?
I think it's safe to say that most of us are not rich, and we all appreciate a good deal. Why not? Blowing money unnecessarily is just a waste, and most of us enjoy finding a bargain even if we can afford to spend more. When shopping for cars, electronics, furniture or even food, frugal living is the way of the wise these days. Grabbing up freebies and samples are at the core of our very survival. So, why the big deal about shopping around when looking for a tattoo or piercing?

  • "The bitterness of a poor-quality tattoo will linger long after the sweetness of a cheap price is forgotten." - Unknown
  • You Get What You Pay For
    Ever heard the saying, "You get what you pay for"? Yeah, well, the body art industry is one place you won't find a better example of the prudence of that advice. Quality in the body art world can range anywhere from absolute crap to jaw-dropping fantastic - and everywhere in between. And although it may not always be this way, in most cases you're going to get exactly what you pay for.

    What about piercings? Guy 1 charges $15 for a tongue piercing, and Guy 2 down the street charges $50. Why do you think Guy 1 can charge so much less? Possibly it's because he doesn't spend the money to sterilize his equipment properly? Or maybe he never spent the money to even be trained in how to pierce properly? Or maybe he uses inferior quality jewelry, which can lead to pain, infection, healing difficulties and a lot of hassles. Do you really want to have Guy 1 sticking a needle through you just to save 35 bucks? Come on!

  • "Good tattoos ain't cheap, and cheap tattoos ain't good!" - Unknown
  • The Price you Pay for a Bargain
    I'd be rich if I had a dime for every time I heard someone say, "I really want a tattoo from so-and-so, but they're so expensive!" If you really want a tattoo from a particular artist, why are you going to let a price tag hold you back? You do realize you'll be wearing this tattoo for the rest of your life, right? If you don't think that's worth a few extra dollars, don't get it! "But I can get the same tattoo from my buddy for half that price!" Fine - you go see your buddy and don't come looking for a shoulder to cry on when you end up with a lousy tattoo or get some kind of disease or infection from improper sterilization.

    This does not mean that every quality artist charges an arm and a leg. There are some that genuinely do good work but also don't charge a lot. There are also some charging more than their work is worth. This is where research comes in. Don't choose any artist based on price alone. Look at the portfolio. Ask around to see if they have a good reputation for good work. Check out the competition and compare quality, not prices!

  • Some Things Never Change
    "A guy came into Charlie [Wagner's] shop and said, 'I want to get me a good tattoo!' Charlie said, 'I do cheap tattoos, I don't do real good tattoos. Now, if you want a real good tattoo you go to my friend Lew Alberts. You'll get a real good tattoo but you're going to pay for it. This 25-cent tattoo will cost you three or four dollars.'" - Fun City Tattoo: History
  • Cutting the Right Corners
    Does this mean I'm totally apathetic toward people that can't afford a $200/hour tattoo? No, of course not. But if you really want a tattoo you're going to be proud of for the rest of your life, you're going to have to pay for it. Get over the "too expensive" mentality. There are other ways you can cut corners and save for the exact tattoo you want, and we have some of the best resources right here at About. And from now on, save the bargain hunting for your next TV, not your next tattoo.

Piercing Gauges
Sep 27th 2011, 10:09

Question: Body Jewelry Gauges and Measurements

How is body jewelry measured? What is typical?

Answer: The word gauge (pronounced GAYj) is used to refer to the thickness of body jewelry. Gauge sizes work in reverse, meaning that higher numbers (like 16 gauge) are thinner than smaller numbers (like a 6 gauge). Body jewelry gauges usually range from 18 to 00g - after 00g, jewelry then goes to actual measurements such as with 1/2 inch plugs. The word gaging refers to increasing the size of a piercing hole to accommodate larger jewelry.

First, if you need to know what gauge your own piercing jewelry is, the best thing to do is go back and ask your piercer. Unless you request something different, most piercers have a standard size they prefer to use for starter jewelry. Most starter piercings are usually either 14 or 16 gauge, although some may go as large as 12 or as small as 18.

The thing to keep in mind is that in most cases, larger gauges are going to be your best option. A very small gauge like 18 or even 16 runs a greater risk of migration because it can act very much like the wire of a cheese cutter, slicing its way through skin and causing a lot of pain and possible rejection. As long as it's pierced properly, a larger gauge such as 14 or 12 will be much more stable.

Some will avoid larger gauges because they assume that getting pierced with a 12 would hurt much more than getting pierced with a 16. This is really not the case as its going to be uncomfortable either way but neither is unbearable. It's also worth it to ensure a piercing you won't have to remove a few months down the line because of migration.

Body Art For the Nails

CLICK TO VIEW LARGER IMAGE

These cool nail rings are a great way to decorate your hands and nails. They are designed to go right over the nail. This can really jazz up your look if you don't have time to get your nails painted but want something stylish. Nail rings are available at bodyjewelry.com and come in a wide variety of styles and colors. These are awesome little snakes that wrap around your nail and would go really well with a witch costume.

These are different colored gem rings. You can buy a set of gems in the same color or you can wear a different color on each nail. They are really quite comfortable, and although I wouldn't recommend you wear them to work if you type a lot, these are a great accessory to wear to the club any time of year. If you have short nails, these can make them look extended without expensive manicuring and maintenance.

Here are a couple closeups of the two styles shown above. They are so shiny that they really don't photograph very well, but they look absolutely beautiful. The snake rings also stretch enough to make a nice pinky ring if you don't want to wear them on your nails. If you want to see the other styles available, visit bodyjewelry.com.

Female Genital Piercings Guide
Sep 20th 2011, 10:08

Genital piercings are by far the most erotic, sensual, controversial, and lately...the most popular form of bodily enhancement. There are a wide variety of reasons people choose to pierce their genetalia, whether it be to celebrate a slave/master relationship, to enhance sexual stimulation, or simply to adorn the body with yet more shiny jewelry. Whatever your personal reason may be, it goes without saying that a genital piercing requires a lot of commitment and dedication to baby your new piercing to prevent infection. This requires sacrifices, including sexual limitations, which you have to determine whether or not they are worth. This guide is to help you decide whether or not a genital piercing is for you, and to inform you on the different styles available.
