While due diligence is a great idea, I don't think anything beats having a friend or family member accompany you to your appointment as a 'spotter', so they can pick up on anything that's inappropriate or out of the ordinary while you're not in a clear-headed state. I don't know if it's usual in the USA to go to body mod appointments solo, but in the UK I've never had anyone object to my taking someone else along. Even if I ended up having nobody available to go with me, I'd still ask if I can, because anyone objecting to you having someone there to take care of you is waving a great big red flag that something not quite right is going on.
UKAPP studios? They don’t allow it. But non UKAPP may. But increasingly they don’t . The first place I visited weren’t APP, but they only allowed friends and family to wait in reception. But my APP one won’t allow anyone in , other than the person being pierced, or a parent accompanying an under 16 for ears for example . Even then it’s not in the piercing room , only the waiting area . Luckily I have a good piercer, so I annoy her with incessant questions about placement, she acts as a good friend for me 😂
I know you’ve probably tried it all, but something I’ve had a lot of luck with is large hydrocolloid bandages. I have big thighs and am a dog walker so i’ve gotten nasty cysts/boils/rashes a million times and nothing helped a ton until I started slapping those bandages on hot spots.
oof. i was already horrified when he started talking placement after you'd already had one scar done!! and then it got worse from there. sending love and solidarity x
Right?!! I'm not a regular modder, but I am on the BDSM scene, and anyone trying to change negotiations when someone's already in an altered state is a HUGE red flag!
Man I'm really sorry this happened to you... While you were so young and this was your first experience with it. Seriously :( a lifelong issue with chafing and irritation, so messed up. Thank you for speaking up about this because other people can hear this and be cautious about the artists they pick.
I'm so sorry that happened to you 😢 I have a 12 inch medical surgery scar around the apex of my thigh into my groin and around my backside. I know exactly what you mean with the pain etc. I'm 11 years out and it's still rough going so I knew what you were going to say before you even said it. Even intimately it can be excruciating. My OH has caught it accidentally several times and the pain almost sends me through the roof 😢
Oh my friend I feel your pain! 😭 when someone grabs it the wrong way??? UGH it feels like my skin is actively being ripped off. It’s the worst. I wish us both healing and happier skin in the future.
This is so beyond horrifying, i am so sorry that this happened to you/gen also thank you for sharing despite it taking so many spoons, this really helped me mentally take a step back and prioritise caution and a functioning body
Hey Lynn, have you tried silicone scar sheets? They protect and moisturize the scar tissue and can help the scar to heal better and minimize complications. I've used them for hypertrophic scars, it prevents chafing and itching really well! Wishing you all the best ❤
Honestly there’s soooo many problematic scarification artists…there’s the solar brand guy that DEFINITELY is into some weird shit and still owes me money for content..thank you for sharing your story Lynn!
@@madisonhasley6533 holy shit do you really??? Cause that’s when I had my experience as well, said he couldn’t pay me because he didn’t use cards or something so he said he’d trade work but then things got real weird..I’m glad I’m not the only one though, never wanted to say anything for that same reason
Wow. The way he chose that spot just for his own temporary benefit and left you with an issue for life 😢 this is so effed up. I know you probably already wear biker shorts to stop chaffing, but let me recommend Thigh Society, they are the best and are not shape wear, so comfy. speaking from experience
i will never go out in a dress or a skirt without wearing shorts underneath to stop thigh rub that leaves a nasty painful rash i cant imagine having a scar placed there. seems like the person doing it didnt give the first thought about how that scar would feel rubbing against the other leg when you walk or they did it on purpose and thats awful. im so sorry that happened to you. i think someone else said it but i seccond trying large hydrocolloid bandages they are a god send
These stories always get to me because it truly bothers me when the people doing your body mods can't be trusted. You should be able to trust them! They SHOULD be the people you can trust the most with your body. I understand why you might feel shame and guilt when they do break your trust, but just know that the people taking advantage of you are the ones in the wrong.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. It's really sad because the guy sounds like a disgusting person and it's sad for you Hun. Having to deal with all that and being a predator as well that's horrible! I'm glad he got done for it.!!
I would refrain from tattooing, scarring, or piercing your body. It violates God's laws, as the body is a temple. Even if it is just for fun, there are always demonic forces behind everything that is not holy. Leviticus 19:28 provides an example of this.
Don’t burn the yeast or honey either! (2:11) And don’t forget to include salt in all of your offerings to God(2:13) Don’t eat any fats or blood (3:17) Have you testified agains any wrongdoings you’ve witnessed? (5:1) Or touched an unclean animal like pork? (5:2) Carelessly made an oath? (5:4) Deceived a neighbour? (6:2) Found something and not reported it? (6:3) Brought unauthorised fire before God? (10:1) Let your hair become unkempt? (10:6) Torn your clothing? (10:6) Had alcohol in a holy place? (10:9) Eaten pork, camel or rabbit? (11:4-7) Or touched the carcass of the above? (11:8) Mixed fabrics in clothing? (19:19) Trimmed your beard? (19:27) Cut your hair at the sides? (19:27) Not standing in the presence of the elderly? (19:32) Cursed about your mother or father? (20:9) Worked on a Sunday? (23:3) Blasphemed? (24:14) Inflicted an injury? (24:17-22) Or sold land? (25:23) And this is BY NO MEANS EXHAUSTIVE. If you can honestly say you’ve never done anything on this list, (except for including the salt, which you MUST HAVE DONE, right?) yippee for you. Otherwise, don’t cherry pick the bits you want to apply to people.
@@SgathaichFey Yes, you are correct. There is a lot of hypocrisy in the church. I am not perfect either. Nobody is... However, we ARE in the LAST DAYS! Everything happening in this world is leading to The New World Order. Each and everyone of us needs remission from our sins through JESUS CHRIST - John 3:16 Revelation 13 shall come to pass SOON! DO NOT take The MARK of the BEAST, his name, or his number! If you do, then you will be forever separated from Our Creator. Stores worldwide are shutting down; COVID will remain; banks are closing down; the One World Religion Center is open; and so on. JUDGEMENT DAY is at hand!
As a Jewish person, I wish you people would stop appropriating our tribal charters and sacred texts to judge and condemn other people. Truly the worst of the worst!
@@alexandrarunnels4854 Jewish? What happened to Israel's claim to be God's chosen people since 1948 and before? Jesus Christ was the King of the Jews, was he not? This is written in the Bible. Jesus always called people out on their sins: "Thou shalt not murder, commit adultery, fornicate, bear false witness, steal, dishonor the Sabbath, and more. The same was true for Sodom and Gomorrah. He gives people space to repent, just like with Jezebel, but it had to come to an end, so she was killed because of her wickedness and evil deeds. We are not supposed to support sin and then claim to be followers of Christ. Whatever the case may be, we are LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS. Look at what is going on in the world. There is really no time for arguing anymore about the Bible and religion. The MARK of the BEAST will be enforced very soon. We MUST be ready for when The Messiah returns! Do not accept the Mark of the Beast, his name, or his number. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen and amen. Revelation 13 and 14

Thank you for sharing your truth and vulnerability with us 🖤
youve educated me so much, and i appreciate you for sharing this. sending lots of love and healing. 💕

This is really horrible. I wonder if you got a skin graft if that would make a difference? Did any derms mention that as an option?
so sorry this happened to you. ❤
Is there no way a plastic surgeon could help with it? They also help ppl with big scars from accidents!
Hey its kurt, if you remember me. Same. Same… let him cut me too. This might have literally been the same day. Hope all is well.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. It's really sad because the guy sounds like a disgusting person and it's sad for you Hun. Having to deal with all that and being a predator as well that's horrible! I'm glad he got done for it.!!
Do you have to learn scarification when learning body modification/piercing/tattoo to work in a shop?
@@mamashenny8811 no it’s actually very difficult to find folks to teach you scarification!
I know this has been said, but damn, I am so sorry this happened to you. What an f-ing scumbag to take advantage of you like that!
This is so horrible :( im so sorry :'(
Is a skin graph an option?
No, not in this placement. It would have the same issues
