pangeapiercing

it’s a pretty big legal document, so it would take a bit to explain. If you had a SPECIFIC question about it or my position on particular provisions in the Act itself I’d be happy to answer it. I will be doing more videos about my position on body art laws in general and the flaws in the arguments so if you haven’t subscribed yet then you might as well do it now!

usually about 50-70 bucks, but like you said, it’s largely dependent on jewelry. You can get either a ring or barbell, although we prefer using barbells (less weight and motion).

thank you for your kind words and support! Hate to say it, but priority is going to go to genital work, then nipples, then odd ear stuff. I’m really pretty open provided we use cool jewelry (not just basics…you know, fancy threaded ends and whatnot) and we haven’t done the piercing as a tutorial before- I’m still going to do PANGEA PIERCING videos, just as tutorials and information. We’re going to do stretching, aftercare, tray setup and asepsis, studio layout, how to photograph piercings, and, of course, piercings of all manner. We’ve already done nostril and daith…hell, let’s set something up!

Well, here’s a really good question. Durability in organic materials that will work in piercings is often a question of how the piece is cared for. We take a pretty cautious approach- I would say you shouldn’t wear your quality organics in the shower or while doing activities that can get them damaged, like riding bikes, running, mosh pit,and the like….wear some lightweight titanium or Kaos Softwear eyelets that can be easily replaced. It’s not unusual to have a set of wood or stone pieces go over $100, and materials like amber, rarer woods from the better makers, semiprecious stone, fossils, mammoth ivory, and antler can easily go hundreds of dollars, so you should certainly protect an investment with proper care! Don’t leave them in direct sunlight (unless you’re wearing them of course), keep them dry, and once a month or so rub them down with a soft cloth and jojoba oil. Some woods after a few years may have the grain raise slightly- I believe the solution is to lightly sand it down with 600 grit, then 800, then 1200, then 2000 (it’s about like buffing a car’s clear coat). 

    Now as far as acrylics, I know many people HAVE worn it, BUT it’s not a good material. It does degrade over time, and there are much better materials to use (i.e. glass). Glass does everything except not shatter when dropped, but the relative low cost of glass more than makes up for it when you factor in that quality glass is non reactive, extremely smooth, autoclavable, non porous, and can be safely stretched with. We plan on a video about what not to wear in your ears, and you can bet we will be going over the topic. Thanks for your question!
