If I was going to make a list of everything wrong with this video, it would be a very long list…

hhahahaha, #24
the main thing wrong with the video, is the tribal on that guys arm…
I’d like to comment not on this video in particular,
but this representation of non-professional piercing.
I understand it’s BME’s responsibility to point that people shouldn’t practice non-professional piercing,
but at the same time it has to reflect the reality, and in fact many home-made procedures work out very well, while in opposite I often see crooked/rejecting piercings on those who only go to professional piercers.
I am not a piercer, and my friends let me pierce them (typical morons you’d say), but EVERYTHING i’d done so far was done well. Sure i don’t do advanced procedures, but i’ve pierced tongues many times and my clients never screamed like here, and none of them had any issues healing, not mentioning that the placement was just perfect.
I am not persuading people to self-pierce or trust their bodies to non-professionals, I’m just saying that this video is an exaggeration, you need to have just a little piece of brain not to have it like this.
as a comment on comments, i think you should emphasize how stupid these people are, not the fact that they are non-prefessionals, because not all non-professionals are dumb…
umm…..I dont know who to shoot first, the piercer or the whiney little bitch.
it’s also embarrassing to spell “embarrassing” wrong! 😉
WTF!? Are those actually condoms? Wouldn’t the lube make him slip around?

i wanna go to South Korea now. That shit is hot.
I totally want to make an appointment to be pierced by that guy. He seems like the shit. Next time I am in South Korea I’m getting my triangle done by him.
Wow… are they serious?
…..
what a pussy.
ok, yeah, everything with this video is completly wrong. we all know that. as to #51, true, not all non-professionals are that bad, but the truth is that we professionals strive to perfect our craft and explain to our clients the newest sterilization techniques, and sterile proceedure. there are shops out there that will give you a clean professional piercing that may cost a little bit more, but then again, would you want discount surgery?
I dont mean any offense, but if you really are interested in piercing, and you really do care about your clients, you should search for an apprenticeship at a good reputable shop. also, check out the APP at http://www.safepiercing.org. Sometimes even your shop wont require the best. you have to take it upon yourself to hold yourself to the highest standards. And trust me, your clients will appreciate it.
That guy is just as annoying as steve-o.
That is so hot! i love it!! reminds me of ths guy i branded last time i was in philly.. SO FUNNY.. the guy was a total sissy and here is the funny part.. it was a FRATERNITY brand!!! HAHHAH with all his brother there.. laughing at him.. totally calling him a woman during their pieces.
im going to digitize it just to send it to shannon hahaha
TOO good to not share
haha wooow and i thought it was bad i made a little noise when mine was done…at an 8 ga. ok he probably could hide a normal sized bead, being army, but a neon green one?!?! normally i’d say what was he thinking but the rest of this makes it painfully obvious he just wasnt…
I couldn’t watch it all the way through in one time. I played a little, got disgusted, read a few comments and went back. He has the most annoying scream I’ve ever heard. o_O
whats the big deal?
its just like the time my friend juicebox pierced my tounge in his backyard.
except this idiot didnt use bleach to steralize it before and after.
I didn’t watch barely any of it in case he threw up, only got to the bit where he wanted his tongue iced (I’m guessing he doesn’t throw up and it’s ok to watch apart from screaming?) Sorry, I’m emetophobic and don’t want to take any chances!
I wish I had a friend named juicebox
Is it just me, or does the ‘piercer’ put the clamps on two clicks right at the very beginning of the video?
“that was really gross. how could someone think that is a swell idea?!”

Oh, I’m pretty sure that’s gonna swell! And ooze too….
#42-
HAHAHA!!
#68-
a friend named juicebox would be pretty cool hahaha
i wonder what he did while getting inked. and if the artist was anything like this piercer.

As far as I can see there was only one thing done correctly, the video documentation so this can serve as a deterrant for people and educate them how things shouldn’t be done. Finger tots, wtf?

Piercings done outside the US aren’t automatically done under poor conditions by poor practitioners though. I’ve seen examples of both awesome and absolutely horrible piercing conditions and piercers both inside and outside the US.
I might just give up my apprenticeship now and tell my piercer he’s doing it all wrong O___o
i was hoping to hear him scream after it was all done that the needle went through his tongue and into the bottom of his mouth because that is what it looked like it was going to do. that job was horrible but i have known of worse situations where people have used kilt pins to pierce their frenum.
#71 you are completely right that the only right thing about this video is to show people what never to do.
……….simply……………a CRIMINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why would a person even consider getting their tongue illegally pierced in South Korea?
I do not understand.
I’m English. I’ve had plenty of good experiences outside of the US. Lalala…
My tongue hurt like a BASTARD when it was pierced, they’re not all as painless as I’ve since found out the majority are – but that’s something you should be prepared for if you’re going to get holes put in you, no? Screaming… pfuh. Try harder. There’s no excuse for making a load of Igor-esque charicature noises.
Seriously, as the jewellery’s getting screwed in I’m expecting to hear “yeeessss massssterrrrr…”, he’s really got that intonation down :op
Unbelievable. I am speechless. Wow.
Um. Yeah. What a pussy! If I were peircing his tounge, I would have told him to get the hell out of my chair. But what is really unbelievable is the lack of sanitation.
Ugh. Whatever. This video just blows my mind.
Ha ha ha! Condoms for gloves?
That’s just shocking…
…and probably very slippery 😐
I’ll stick gloves and half decent piercers, thankyou…
Now there’s one of the slightly more horrifying and stupid things I’ve ever seen….
It hurt enough getting my lounge done *properly*, but the rusty-nail and condom-fingers must have made the experience all the more satisfying!
When will people learn?
lol
So thats how they do it in prison eh?
WTF? Is that a leather punch he used to pierce the tongue? Or one of those things potters use, it has a solid handle and a spike sticking out. That’s what that thing looks like, that’s some scary shit!!
embarrassing indeed.
I am….flabbergasted…
seriously….this is so wrong on so many levels.
The health board should add this to the list of videos they show kids at school with ‘why you should wear sunscreen so u won’t get skin cancer that looks like this’ & ‘what an STD in your eyeball looks like’ LOL
…then again….I could see where it would give some kids ideas…
anyways…this was totally sick….
I wanna see this guy do a tongue splitting! LOL j/k
Hhahah. I live in South Korea and there’s probably less than a dozen tattoo or piercings shops in Seoul, and there’s no way I would have anything done at ANY of them. I tried to get one store to order me a seamless BCR but they wouldn’t, and instead offered to just bend my current BCR closed with pliers. Uh, no thanks…
The finger cots and this guys behavior are what get me! Grossness!
(Finger cots are little “finger condoms” you can pick up in the first aid/baby care/dental aisles of any pharmacy or grocercy store. Never seen them actually used though!)
i love military men
Man.This guy’s in the army.
I wouldn’t like to see him on a battlefield.
The funniest part has got to be the alcohol swab on the tongue. I’m sorry but that’s.. that’s just funny.
.. maybe it’s because I’m canadian, but I’m HOPING that everyone who is calling them “finger condoms” aren’t actually thinking they are REAL condoms on her fingers…. right? … RIGHT? … I mean.. they’re finger cots… haha
The piercer obviously doesn’t have the best grasp on cross-contamination and blood-borne pathogen theories.
I didn’t even watch the piercing part.. I could see it being horrible a mile away and I really didn’t wanna watch that. haha
thats nothing look up piercing on google vidio and let the awnser to y people think piercing is bad be found….there is even a vidio of kids piercing thair lips with chop sticks…and they use water to lube the stick while ramming it home lol
Oh man, he just keeps grunting! What a sook, I want to smack him haha
umm…ok? The lack of hygiene/proper CARE really grossed me out. Because that is just nasty!
Just wow. He actually used a drill punch to do the piercing! I work with these daily, and know that they are anything but sharp. You use these to make a small dent into a piece of metal that you are going to drill (to make the drill stay center). They are only mild steel.

He definately got a little extra something with this. If not tetanus, then an Hepatitis.
that was horrific!
as Shannon said, where to begin???
my lord, what a pussy. no one should need ice for a fucking tongue piercing, its barely more than a pinprick
Everything that needed to be said, was said. The only thing I feel the need to comment on is that I’m stunned. Not just at the video, but for the fact that for the first time EVER I actually agree with Giles Wallwork (comment #36)
thats why you shouldnt get pierced while taking a dump
