Controversial Opinion

The other day at the mall i saw a 15 year old sitting in a Claire’s piercing booth and it took every fiber in my being to not just grab her and take her to the actual, clean and sanitary and not guaranteed to fuck up your ears tattoo shop literally next door. Like I was frantic. Snakes manifested in my house

Piercing guns almost ALWAYS cause infections

They hurt more because they jam dull jewelry into your ear

Needles from a professional are designed to allow for minimum damage thus less pain.

The people working there literally have no idea what the fuck they’re doing and just guess it with a 1 hour training video vs a professional who trained under a mentor for at least a year and has a passion in the craft

They use bad metal for healings (copper, silver, etc) that can irritate ears. Surgical grade steel should be the only thing in your healing piercings

They put them on way to tight, causing swelling issues. Swelling is normal and piercings should be large enough to allow for that

They give you shit aftercare advice and cleaner (literally just buy saline solution at Spencer’s or hot topic for 8 dollars at the most and don’t touch them at all)

If done on cartilage it can LITERALLY SHATTER YOUR EARS

Please if any young girls in your family want their ears pierced take them to actual professional and don’t trust piercing guns. If a professional says your kid is too young (I.e a fucking baby) then trust their professional judgement. It costs more but you are getting essentially a art piece from a highly trained professional who knows what they’re doing vs a part time min wage employee who had 1 hour training on how to pierce ears.

I literally wrote an entire essay in college why piercing guns should be banned with pictures and my professor told me she was so interested in my topic and had no idea and even googled the topic herself out of curiosity and was horrified on the amount of damage they case

PASS THIS ON.

The first transgender suicide hotline is now up and running in the U.S. You can reach Trans Lifeline at 877-565-8860.

The only theft headcannon involving Miles anyone’s allowed to have is that one time he accidentally “stole” some crayons from Applebee’s and was just so distraught he turned himself in.

Miles, sobbing: “I’m so so sorryy, dad. YooU hh;;avee,, ,to aarrest m.”

Officer Davis: “No, Miles, it’s okay. The restaurant gave you those crayons. Also you’re 5.”

hey

because chuck norris is a racist we now need to make memes in which he is INCREDIBLY weak

Just an experiment. Reblog if you actually give a fuck about male victims of domestic violence and rape.

Of fucking course

What sick bastard doesn’t

“Particularly prone to serious procrastination problems are children who grew up with unusually high expectations placed on them…or else they exhibited exceptional talents early on, and thereafter “average” performances were met with concern and suspicion from parents and teachers.”

Holy SHIT

i love it

friendly reminder that in 2019 lgbtq solidarity is going to COEXIST, meaning:

20biteen does not take ‘take away’ 20dyketeen from the lesbians because nobody owns the year

20noneteen doesn’t ‘take away’ 20biteen and 20dyketeen from the bisexuals and lesbians

20mineteen belongs to everyone except those of us who can’t fuckin afford minecraft (communism failed us, folks)

and in 2019 bisexuals, aspecs, and lesbians are going to support and uplift each other and not worry about making people angry with harmless jokes because,

2019 is the year of understanding that lgbtq solidarity is better when there’s more of it for all of us

this has been a PSA

finally understanding why i have never been able to look at someone and think their attractive makes sense now. I’ve never had a big thing for sex neutral to it but then suddenly being so close to someone it sparked and i had a want for the first time. then that reaction went away as i grew away from that person and didn't resurface until another extremely close emotional relationship. finding out how i felt was something real that i wasn't wrong. that its ok to be in that in between is so comforting.
