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

i know that guy we use to be in the same unit this was done in a pouche army
I’m sure this is completely irrelevant, especially since it has already been shown that this guy *is* in the Army, but anybody can get dogtags. A lot of Army/Navy stores have the stuff to make them. I had a personalized set when I was in Jr. High, way before they got trendy (which happened in my part of the country for some reason, maybe other places too).
Some people are too stupid to be alive.
What was RIGHT with that procedure? if you could even call it that. I wanted to kick him in the head. No one needs to make that much noise. Also. Acrylic? wtf.
To number 51: “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.”
That sounds a ton like a drunk driver justifying their actions. “Well, yeah I had a few drinks and I shouldn’t have been driving, but my friends trusted me to drive them home, so I did. Nothing bad happened, I didn’t speed and I didn’t hit anything. So it was fine.”
DOESN’T MAKE IT A GOOD IDEA.
…what a whiny little bitch.
And idiot to boot.
I wonder what that spectacular procedure cost…
I should have left my computer on mute…
My boyfriend has a friend who’s nickname is juicebox all you guys talking about the name juicebox. Just thought I’d put that out there.
Lol, I’m Belgian and we have some very professional piercing and tattoo artists over here. It’s not all about the US you know …
And to comment the video: I don’t have a tongue piercing but I can’t imagine it to hurt that much. He’s just a wuss.
And the conditions are bad, but, if you pay attention to what’s going on and just don’t let a random “artist” pierce yourself, you won’t go to those shops.
It’s just his own fault if something goes wrong imo, he should have been more careful
#102 – You can even get dogtags made at the Smithsonian.
I’ve had several of them forever, too, because they make excellent luggage tags when tied on with some good metal wire cable.
This guy looks military (he has the BDU tan and the haircut), but US Soldiers cannot have body piercings (at least visible) but regardless of that, my only thoughts on this video are:
What. The. Fuck. Seriously.
i love how many people have already commented about this.
i showed everyone in our shop and there were horrified faces all round…
the worst part is, way too many people would continue to get pierced by “piercers” like that. …
but it’s okay because they’ll die off from massive infections.
That is the saddest thing I have ever seen. I am completely dumbfounded.
Omgz people, finger cots…which I guess are basically finger condoms. I definitely wouldn’t want his ass touching my tongue with those though…you know the bare fingers touched that tongue.
Euch.
But, why was that guy such a puss? I had my tongue done and it wasn’t really painful, I teared up but it was just a natural body response.
I had someone tell me the ice idea is actually not a good idea.
Good lord, whata whiny bitch.
But, obviously it wasn’t autoclaved, the top looked acrylic to me…unless it was dental acrylic which can be autoclaved. But, I’m gonna go with a no.
the guy’s stupid. and he makes stupid noises. he deserved it.
Hahaha, fuck yes.
I’m feeling the finger condoms.
Anyways, I really doubt that was a “professional”…Probably his asshole friend.
I didn’t finish watching the video.
I’m amazed this has gotten so many comments.
Dude sounded like he was pretty fucked up to me. That was my number one concern.
So the total count that I can personally see:
1. The finger gloves of course.
2. The “piercer” should have taken off his rings and bracelets as they are huge magnets for shit you don’t want near an open wound.
3. Not giving the man some fucking ice, and using a stupid excuse “nobody else gets ice”.
4. The needle had a sort of, drill appearance to it. It looked either like it had threading or was just the wrong fucking needle.
5. The “piercer” tells him to shut up.
6. He proceeds to tell him not to move his tongue, the best way to keep his tongue still is to leave the clamp on.
7. No one should turn that red.
8. The jewelry for a fresh piercing should be all titanium or surgical steel, not fucking glittery glow green princess acrylic shit.
9. Shouldn’t it be, you know, not crooked?
And finally number 10……
Shouldn’t have let that half-assed piercer do that to him in the first place.
Did I miss anything? Please let me know if I did but I am sure I found everything easily identifiable in the video.
everyone keeps calling this guy a wuss, and aside from being a complete moron for even thinking going to this guy was a good idea, i dont see the wussyness being his fault. if you listen very carefully at the beginning of the video, you can hear the clamp being locked into at least the second click. and seeing as i dont see any rubberbands on the clamp, and the guy is holding so loosely onto the clamp, for it to remain where its at, its obviously locked down.
i dont know if any of you have had a clamp locked down on your tongue, but it is pretty painful just on the first click.
i believe this guy is an idiot, but to call him a wuss i think is invalid. although for being this absolutely stupid in going to this guy to get a piercing, i do believe he deserved the pain. heh
I think you are confusing what the camera man is saying as the person doing the piercing saying it.
I am more amused/saddened by how many people here seem to think that he has rubbers on his fingers.
TOB, I think you forgot that the jewellery was too short (which was already said elsewhere)
Man…but did he turn red. If you look though, it is a gradual change from his waist up. I know that I turn crazy shades of red that even my piercer commented that it was reddest he’d seen someones ear get, but he even beats me.
#72 hahaha.
Wow, I went to school with that kid, last I heard he was over seas in the army or marines. Wouldn’t be surprised if that was done in Iraq or something.
Poor guy, WTF was he thinking?
it’s just totally cringe worthy.
haha @ 79 – good call on Igor. But really, if most of us got pierced in conditions as shitty as this, we’d be screaming too. Stupid still stands, though.

I think I missed a few!
For fuck’s sake, if it’s going to tear his ass up that much he should’ve just backed out of the procedure.
It’s more graceful just to call it and get out and wait until another day…and choose some type of needle instead of punch next time.
And would’ve saved him from some bloodborne disease or infection down the road. Not to mention a shitty piercing with shitty jewelry.
another thing that could possibly be assumed is he may have used the exact same equipment on everyone, one after another. he clearly notes about the others getting pierced before this guy, he doesn’t seem to know dick about cross contamination and proper procedures to protect the customer. so i think i can safely assume that is another mistake to add to the list.
I can’t even believe this shit is real…but i know it is. i wonder how old this video is.
WHAT did he/she use to pierce him??
I looked like… I don’t even know.
he sounded like steve o !
😀
The guy going, “You don’t need ice!”
Is probably the friend holding the camera, not the piercer.
They ARE in S. Korea. Even if the piercer knows some basic English he would more than likely sport an accent.
Anyone else notice the nipple piercing?
How much do you think he cried for that one?
He’s clearly an idiot, but to call him a wuss isn’t that fair… he’s clearly not being pierced with a proper needle and there are so many things done wrongly that this could be hurting way, way more than a normal tongue piercing.
And if he’s in the Army serving in S. Korea, how come he’s getting a piercing? I thought thye Army didn’t let you have piercings?
wow. and then there’s this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygCqwl8QcU0) where the chick uses a BOX CUTTER to finish her navel ring.
the stupidity is mind boggling.
I thought he was getting his LIP pierced for the longest time while watching this.
It’s no surprise so many of us with piercings get such bad looks & attitudes… people see videos like this and think we’ll all this ridiculously idiotic.
Entertaining, nonetheless.
thats even worse to watch than the guy screaming
eurgggh
I wish people would at least bash this correctly.
The difference between educated DIY piercing vs backwoods-it-doesnt- matter-if-yer-scared- git-r-done-spit-hack-reuse- needle-piercings is VAST.
I fully support people piercing themselves, or being pierced by someone close to them if theyve taken every precaution / educated themselves / comfortable with it / have other reasons. I DONT support sad displays of ignorance a-la “if I can shave something sharp through, SURE ILL PIERCE YA”
I dont think its a matter of “go to a professional every time”. Ive seen plenty of ‘professional’ piercings that were crooked, or rejected or what have you – And ive seen plenty of DIY piercings that were done in a clean manner and healed beautifully. Its just a matter of respecting your body and educating yourself…
which is one of the reasons BME is such a great resource 🙂
#134 -> I love that video! But perhaps you are SUPPOSED to use a boxcutter when doing a ‘persing’ as she calls it, as opposed to a piercing which is done with a needle.
As for this particular video, I only have two things to say.. 1) I wonder how long it took for the gangrene to set in and 2) I would love to see how it looks now!!

my point wasn’t in justifying non-professional piercing or urging to do it.
what i think is non-professional/home-made/self-piercing shouldn’t be represented ONLY by retards like on this video, being a non-professional doesn’t make one a complete moron like shown here. it’s just unobjectve.
why is there gauze in his mouth? *smacks forehead*
from the map on the wall, and the drunk soldier getting pierced, I’d say…. do not get pierced in a tent in Iraq.
It was a simple translation mistake, the piercer thought he was going to preform a guiche and he gets there and the guy has his mouth open. Its probally very hard to tell mouth from asshole on that whiney mother fucker, ‘specially when everyone is speaking slurred English at you.
I hope the next installment is the same moron getting “work” attached to that awesome crappy tribal tattoo on his shoulder.
lol
Ah I don’t think this guys in the army in s. korea, I think he’s just a fucking retard that has tribal tattoos and wears dog tags. The piercer spoke perfect english too.
As I am an old guy (62) and I’ve been involved in mods for over 30 years, I’d like to remind us all that at that time Piercing was an underground practice. Way back then such scenes as this were commomplace. Piercing was often done with sewing machine needles that were “sanitized” with alcohol or boiling water. Jewelry was improvised or home made. Jim Ward, Gauntlet,BME, Fakir Musafar, Sailor Sid, Jack Yount and others changed all that and we owe them everything for what we now see as correct. In the future our practices may well seem as barbaric as the old times undoubtably were. Don’t be too hard on the old times they are what led to the state of the art for today’s modders.
whatever I write on this, it’s just nowhere near how I feel about watching that, so ..whatever.
Cupcake – It was a “studio” in South Korea.
That man should not be piercing.
OMFG !!!
