I’ve always liked tattoos but piercings have been more of a recent thing. Information is readily available from numerous sites but experiences and advice is so varied its sometimes hard to form a solid educated opinion.
So I’m starting to compile FAQs and info’ based on my body mod projects- which at the mo’ are few and far between.
Here are some links to get you started:
