I was told to use Hydrogen Peroxide on my eyebrow piercing. This was my 1st and it was a very reputable tattoo shop that I went to to get it done. I mean , this artist does some of the most amazing work in Aberdeen. I now have fair(but definatley not the worst) scarring from that piercing.

Moral of the story : Reputable tattoo artist does not necessarily mean reputable piercer =D

Tell me where this was, so I'll never go there!!

You can say whatever your little heart desires.

I wonder if the people giving out bad advice just don't know any better, or haven't bothered to update their methodologies in the past 10 years.

hmmm....some things i've heard, not necessarily directed at me.
-piercing guns aren't bad. (face palm)
-twisting jewelry helps it heal faster and your skin won't adhere to it.
-keeping your tattoo covered throughout the healing process helps it heal faster.
-it's okay to change your jewelry before it's healed.
-it's okay to skip a couple sizes when stretching.

Common sense...some people just lack it. I've seen some kids in my area walk around with tapers in their ears, I've heard of people around here stretching with pens and other objects. People are so damn impatient and uneducated.
