Jagger-Wolf Nasty Cut I am probably the only person on the planet that has a problem with this. I get terribly aggravated when someone refers to me as "their artist". ********, I'm not just here to make you happy. I work for the people, not you b***h. And the people that say "My Art". b***h its my art. I drew it. I spent half an hour getting the stencil to sit straight on your fat a** arm, and then another two hours listening to you whine and b***h about how much it hurts. You damn well better give me credit. I use the term "my artist" and "my piercer" as a shorter form of "the artist/piercer I go to". It doesn't mean you belong only to me or that you work just for me, it more just means that I go to you, is all. I don't think most people mean it in a mean or possessive way, it's just that they don't really realize that there are other ways to describe it. No, I mean those idiots that answer the question "Who did that amazing tattoo" with the response "my artist." All you have to say is Dani Koi, and they will know. I mean I live in a pretty small area where tattooing is still very underground-ish. There are a couple legit shops around (it is actually ILLEGAL to run a tattoo parlor in my county) and several several illegal inkslingers and piercers. Granted, I'm just an apprentice but at least give the shop the credit. I mean I only have one tattoo right now and I can tell you exactly when, where, who, how long, and tell you the name of the shop, I don't just say "my artist". (BTW, Powhatan, VA, December 26th, 2 hours, Dennis, Rebel Yell Tattoo)

People keep asking me if I plan on stretching my ears any bigger, I don't know why but it annoys me so much. My ears are currently 3/4" and I'm good for now, have reccently bought lots of cute earings. So I plan on staying this size, but I never know if I want to go up or not. I find it such a pet peeve when people ask that. I understand people have goal sizes, mine was 1/2", i've past that though. So I just go up when it feels natural and right, but I dont plan anything.
Oh and when my teacher looks at me like I go on my rants about how bad piercing guns are. I'm in school to be an esthetician, so one of my classes is personal service setting health and safery which includes spas, salons, and tattoo and piercing shops. Every time she brings them up I go on some rant, and she just looks at me like I'm insane.
This week we had a geust lecturer in for the class, and she finally agreed with me about how bad they are and even warned the class to never be pierced with one! I'm so happy.

One of mine would have to be the "incorrect" names of piercings.
I absolutely have when people call a septum piercing a "bull ring" It urks me haha.
Another thing is kids at my school thinking they are all cool because they have a size 8 in their ear.... stare
Body modification isn't supposed to be something you brag about...
I know someone probably already said this, but people who dont clean their mods.
Self done piercings with a thumb tack by your friend on a dirty bench in a park while they didn't have gloves on, annoys me too haha
And of course, when people wear actual ear studs in their:
labret
monroe
nose
etc.

church grim I don't know if this counts or not, but when people act like they love body modification but they do it to seem cool or to seem deep or some s**t. Story: The time I changed high schools was the time I started getting into body modification, and in my friends group I was the only one who admired it. I would talk a lot about it and I even did a project on the topic, and suddenly one of my friends got a nostril piercing (a month after I got mine done), and now she's decided to start posting pictures of scarification like she knows what it's about. Sorry for the tl;dr. gonk I know I have no right to get jealous and possessive of body modification but I just really doubt she has an actual interest in it. scream It jurt irks me to no end. yes!!!! exactly haha. I did a project for my economics class called "the economics of body modification" and people were either like "OMG EWWW" which I dislike, I mean everyone is entitle to their opinion....but you shouldnt be rude. or "oh yeah totally, I know all about....-insert here-" and it was completely obvious they had no knowledge of it stare

When people call stretching by the name "gauging".
Gauge is the ******** measurement! Not the act of increasing the measurement!

I dislike it when people go a little overboard with piercings.. any more than 4 piercings on your face is just blehh...
I was thinking that a body modification guild would be made by a person who likes all kinds of piercings and tattoos. :/
You wouldn't kiss someone with mouth piercings? neutral

I created this guild, and I never said anything like that. Where did you read that? I kept it mostly tattoos and piercings because that's all we really have going on here. Almost no one has branding, scarification, silicone implants, it's mostly pretty basic around here, so I kept it that way. If we end up needing another subforum for branding, scarring, etc., then I'll make one, but for now, there isn't a demand for it.

EDIT: Most of my serious pet peeves have already been noted, but I also hate assumptions. I hate when people ask if I'm into this or that, or if I'm in a band...a lot of questions people ask just seem to be on a loop, and so repetitive, or so stupid, that I'm trying to come up with new equally stupid answers to.

I'm seriously getting ******** tired of people saying that "stretching is unhygienic and ruins your ears". It most certainly IS NOT and DOES NOT.
It's only unhygienic if you don't shower properly and know how to clean yourself, and if that's the case, you have bigger issues. Stretching doesn't "ruin your ears" either. If done improperly, ANYTHING will ruin you. Get a bad manicure, lose a finger to infection. Get bad hair dye or apply it wrong, go bald for a while. Seriously... people who just assume things about something they know NOTHING about just because they had stupid ******** off friends who did it wrong does NOT mean the entire scene or culture as a whole is the same way.
If that were the case, you could say that every black person smells funny and robs convenience stores. Just because SOME OF THEM, a very small percentage pf the race as a whole, does stupid s**t, doesn't mean ALL of them smell funny and rob convenience stores. JUST A HEADS UP, THIS IS NOT TO BE RACIST. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE ONE OF THE BEST ANALOGIES I CAN THINK OF AT THE MOMENT, SINCE IT SEEMS TO GET THE MOST PEOPLE THINKING. Same could be said for emo kids. Just because SOME of them cut themselves for attention doesn't mean ALL emo kids do, or that all cutters are emo. Seriously, why do people STILL believe s**t like this? Until you know quite a few people in a certain scene or culture or race, you can't make assumptions about them.
I am so angry about this right now it's not even funny. I have a cold so the anger is amplified like 100 fold, too. It just frustrates me so much when people tell me I'm unhygienic and unclean and s**t because I have stretched lobes. My lobes have NEVER EVER smelled, had cheese, NOTHING. Why? Because I stretch properly and know how to bathe myself. I am NOT ruining my ears by choosing to stretch them. To me, I am making them BETTER. You CAN ruin your ears if you stretch improperly and split your ear, sure, but that's in extreme cases. Stretching PROPERLY doesn't ruin your ears.
AHHHHH!!!!! scream scream scream scream scream

I personally can't stand how you can't get piercings under the age of eighteen without parental consent. I mean, piercings are non-permanent. I understand that in our government children are 'property' of their parents in a sense, but I don't agree with that either. I think once you're 13 or 14 you're old enough to understand what you're getting into with a piercing, the risks involved, and the care required. I know 13 and 14 year olds that are really responsible and mature in that aspect of things... and then I know 18 and 20+ year olds who STILL aren't at that point, and probably never will be. Most parents that I've talked to about the issue just don't let their children to get them because they don't like how they look, and to me, that isn't a substanstial or valid reason to not allow it to happen. :/
I also really really dislike the existance of flash tattoos. I don't like that people get them, and I really don't like the fact that most shops OFFER them. I feel like it's almost a way to be lazy. Even IF people come to your shop with the same or similar ideas, you could at least try and put a different spin on it or make the effort to draw it up on an individual basis. I know I personally wouldn't want something that somebody else has, but I realize that some ideas are just going to be repetitive, especially things like armed forces symbols and traditions and stuff of that nature. But when people can just walk into a shop with out any solid idea of what they want and be able to select something off the wall and have it on their body forever? That's just enabling and abusing idiocy of the masses for profit.

But when people can just walk into a shop with out any solid idea of what they want and be able to select something off the wall and have it on their body forever? That's just enabling and abusing idiocy of the masses for profit. I think because it's considered an invasive procedure, you have to be 18. Most kids under 18 are NOT responsible enough to get a piercing, hell, they can't even take care of a pet let alone a piercing. The part of your brain that processes consequences after an action isn't even fully developed until 18 or later, so most kids can't even comprehend the horrible things that might happen to them should they get pierced improperly. They are impulsive and irresponsible, and for a potentially life-threatening procedure, you should be 18 to do it yourself, and 16 to get it done with parental consent. I think minimum age for basic ear lobe piercings should be 7, and you should be 16 to get any facial piercings, and most "odd" ear piercings, like industrials and rooks and conchs and such. Tattoo shops are like art galleries. You have art on the wall to show what you're capable of. In many shops I've been in a lot of the flash on the wall was done by the artists themselves. Flash tattoos are also a valuable part of Americana. The old greats like Sailor Jerry and Ed Hardy created what we know now as "old school flash style" tattoos. They're more just artwork for the walls more than actual ideas for a tattoo. Admittedly, I have a piece of off the wall flash. But it's my zodiac sign, it's not some random ******** off panther or something. It at least means something and stands for something.

I'm really irritated with the "How much did that cost?" or "How can you afford all of that?"
You'd be surprised on how many strangers think that they're entitled to my personal finance history. Ugh. I hate it. When it's my close friends, or someone who's honestly thinking of getting a tattoo, I'll share. But when it's just a stranger being nosey... it's irritating. Beyond my threshold, Besides, it would only make sense that every tattoo costs different. You have different styles, colors, sizes, ect. Telling them MY price that I paid for them isn't going to help either one of us in the least bit, because they'd end up talking to an artist anyways about it.
