Mysteriouschic wrote: » Haha I clicked the link I think those people have just had bad experiences with them. It's not half as bad. Or maybe it's the type of piercing that they got done. I didn't look at anything about the tattoos. I'm still wondering whether to get one or not I'm not a needle person, I might freak out at the sight of the needle. I never get injections done either I avoid them as much as I can. I can't believe we're talking about piercings lol.

Togepi wrote: » I'm not sure yet but it would be really small and I'd get it on my ankle, wrist or hip. Probably a little flame on my wrist though, I've been considering that one for a while.

They should never ever be used for anything else, especially not cartilage as they can actually shatter it. They also cause scar tissue to form and cause healing to take longer. :P
