The Other Day At The Mall I Saw A 15 Year Old Sitting In A Claire’s Piercing Booth And It Took Every

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

This could be a real funny game

Rules:

roll 2 dice.

make a rectangle with the sides generated

The rectangle must be connected to your existing territory.

The first players first rectangle is placed in a corner. The second players first rectangle in the opposing corner.

If you cannot make the rectangle generated you skip your turn.

When all space is filled you end the game.

The one with the most territory wins.

Strategy:

Any unclaimed territory cut off from your opponents territory will eventually be yours. Like the unnumbered squares in minesweeper it is free real estate. Try to cut of an area as large as possible from your opponent to get as much of this as possible. If both players follow this strategy it’s almost entierly based on luck.

Variations:

You could also elliminate a player when they cannot place their rectangle. Then the other player get roll for as long as they can place their rectangles. This version is much more strategic.

no no its gotta be “while I put the tofu in/ I bring home the bagels” stake is animal offending language to after all isnt it?

Falsettos where everything’s the same except that one part in “The Thrill of First Love” where they’re like “while I put the steak in / I bring home the bacon” is “while I put the steak in / I bring home the bagels” because we don’t want to use animal offending language, do we?
