I will try to create a link to a video in the comments 👍🏻

He fucked it up the first time by piercing it “too low” and so the blood did flow when he promptly removed the jewellery and said ok let’s try this again” without even asking me if I wanted a break or to come back another day etc. wtf.

He also said “oh you’re going to move” and I said “I guarantee you I will not.“ What do you think happened?! I fucking didn’t move at ALL for the first one and for the second attempt all I moved was my arms a tiny bit, which he commented on: “See, I told you you would move,” which honestly is the biggest dick thing to say to a client you just totally fucked up a piercing on.

He did admit a bit later that I was by far the most chill client he has ever had and also the only client he had to pierce a triangle TWICE in a row bc he got the first one wrong. He didn’t charge for the piercing…bc he knew he fucked it up.

Oh and he kept telling me I should be able to feel the nerve bundle with the clamp and it was rather shaming because I couldn’t feel it like all his other clients

Ok. Well, I’m pretty sure he should be able to clamp the bundle himself and pierce it without my input…ugh.

I’m going to contact Noah Babcock and hopefully get a full refund for the simple titanium jewellery and cleaning sprays. I mean this was so bad I’d hope he will waive the piercing fee for me when I get my Princess Albertina and some others with him (Noah. All. The. Way.).

But, man, I couldn’t walk for a day and had loads of bruising and way more swelling than necessary because of the TWO 10 gauge punctures.

At least the second piercing seems to have been well done. I tend to heal way faster than most people and the jewellery is huge now lol.

I might fly back to ABQ from Hong Kong for the balloon festival and get it all sorted 🤞🏻🤞🏻
