Tattoo Tuesday: Music Staff

Hey Beauties

I absolutely love this idea. I keep finding new music tattoos and it really excites me!!

If you've got any requests as to what type of tattoos you'd like to see, please tell me in the comments and I'll see what I can do.

Maybe you want more of the same designs or perhaps you want a specific area of the body, please let me know.

Zipper Tongue!

I'm apologising  now because you may find this gross but I came across it on Pinterest and, well I really wasn't sure what to think.

I mean I definitely think it's clever but I don't think I could ever do this to my tongue. How would you eat? It must be difficult to speak surely and... I don't know it's just so unusual!

What are your thoughts on it?

Industrial Piercings and Monumental Price Tags

Hey everyone! 

Bit of a different post today because I usually don't talk about piercings even though I'm obsessed! 

 I previously wrote one on How to Clean a Piercing but haven't written any since.

I usually find a piercing I like and then get obsessed with it for ages and the two I've got my eye on at the moment are the Helix and Industrial (or Scaffold as some people call it). 

I'm planning on getting my helix done soon but the one thing that sort of gets my goat is how expensive it can be to get a piercing.

Back in Ireland, I got my lobe's done for €15 (I've got two pairs) and my tragus done for  €35/40 and they were including the jewellery.

Over here everything is definitely a lot more expensive, and that's clear, but when it comes to piercings, some places are just ridiculous.

The other day I was in town and inquired in a number of places about prices. One place did your helix for around $60 and I'm not sure if that included jewellery! The place I'll probably go to does it for around $35 but that's excluding jewellery. 

I don't know why it has to be SO expensive. Can they not just do it for free? I mean we're letting them poke a hole through our skin knowing fine well it'll probably bleed and get infected. Is that not enough pleasure for them? Nope, on top of the pain and tears we've got to sacrifice $30-70? And of course there's the after care too.

Don't get me wrong I love piercings but really, do they have to be that expensive?

I didn't actually mean to go off on a rant but oh well :) What I really meant to talk about in this post was industrial piercings. I have a great love for them and this was the picture that got me into them.

You can, if you wear the wrong jewellery, lose your sense of elegance but I find that this type of jewellery brings is all back.

Again I'm off on a rant about prices but so far I've found that industrial piercings bear the biggest price tags reaching $70-90. I understand that it's essentially the cost of two helix piercings but really? almost $100 for a piercing? That's taking the p**s just a slight bit don't you think? A single person could probably buy a week's worth of food with that money.

I'm probably coming off sounding really negative about piercings but in actual fact I love them, I really do. I plan on getting quite a few and I will pay the money I just wish that it cost a little less.

What sort of experiences have you have with piercings and what do you have? (if any)

Tattoo Controversy

Tattoos are like make-up. The end result depends on the skills and colours used and the placement.

If you choose a horrible design with unflattering colours and get it tattooed by a person who is unskilled in their profession (which can happen) and get it somewhere undesirable, it doesn't look nice. It's the same with make up. If you have the right tools and  colours and know how to put it on, you look nice. If you don't, then perhaps not.

You always hear people say: Oh, I'd never get a tattoo because it'll look horrible when I'm old. But hey, you don't have to have a visible one nor a huge one. You can also get white ink tattoos that aren't half as visible.

Everyone is entitled to have their own opinions and you should respect that. If a person likes tattoos and decides to cover themselves in them, don't give them a hard time. They don't ask you why you don't have tattoos.
It's their own decision, leave them be.
