If Ben hasn’t gotten his tongue split, and he still wants the procedure to be done, I’ve heard that having your tongue pierced and healed beforehand, can prevent the tongue from healing back together because it’s already healed from the piercing.

This video taught me that being tounge tied isn’t normal and I currently have one 😂 😂 omg! I didn’t know you could remove it. I love seeing this video of you telling past you off 😂😂 we can all relate that our opinions change.
You have beautiful eyes, 👀please dont inject ink into them, love from Australia 🇦🇺🙋♀️ P.s, I'm tattooed and have nothing against it but your eyes are windows to the soul and delicate and precious.
I can definitely approve even people denying it , tattoos come with fashion either we admit it or not ! It can be super personal sure but I can tell 10 years after you notice slightly that oh that was clearly 2010s like today please don’t tell me the full black arm or ignorant style or the geometricness is not 2020 hahaha But it can be fashion and pretty it just still is a trend of the era hahaha
I would never get a cooch, eyebrow, cheek, dermal, surface, or tongue piercing. I would also never get my eyeballs tattooed or my tongue split. I wouldn't ever get a tribal tattoo or a blackout tattoo
Yep! It was January this year you got the double verticals! I'm glad you love the vertical you got now. I'm planning on getting mine redone. I miss them like mad! Though first is the bridge piercing! I remember that intro! I can see the change in from old you to this you now. You're so comfortable in front of the camera, and so much more confident too!! x
It's nice to see how much more confident you are now! I love our current loud and irreverent Emily. I would never get a subdermal implant. Just seeing those on other people makes my skin crawl.
My mother-in-law, husband and oldest and youngest daughter had a "tongue-tie", the webbing thing. My husband had to have speech therapy from his and later had it clipped. My daughter, also at about 6 weeks, had her's clipped while my youngest had her's clipped right after she was born. Like, my midwife just clipped it when she was weighing her. 😂 No blood, no crying. Midwives are incredible on another note. 💚🖤
I'm tongue tied. If my future kid is born with one, I want them to cut it immediately. I had mine done as an adult and it was painful, very expensive and it... reattached.
I hate hearing you have bad self esteem still but I love hearing that you are working on it! I’ve had similar issues in the past and I think I’ve gotten over it physically but I still feel really awkward around people so that’s where I have low self confidence.
I remember when you had the little dermal in your forehead it was so cute! When I was in college I had a roommate that had dermals like abover her hips? And they rejected and I went with her when she got them redone but I was worried they would reject again and I think one got infected and she ended up taking them out again
I had a nostril piercing for about a year in college before I got a pretty bad cold. I thought it would've healed the same way as ear piercings which are generally fully healed after a year, so I took it out so wiping my nose wasn't as much of a pain and then was surprised when it started closing after a day and I couldn't get the stud back in. I've always meant to get it redone but I never seem to get around to it lol
i said i'd never get anything done to my tounge, genitals and nipples. well now i want my nips pierced but not untill after top surgery (and even then it depends on scaring and what the sugen says).
As a trans man with nipple piercings, I definitely wanted them before top surgery just so I can have truly experienced all the sensations (both pleasure bc they are more sensitive after being pierced, and to be able to say I know the pain of getting them pierced) before they go numb bc of surgery. Still haven't gotten top surgery, but having my nipples pierced gives me so much more confidence! I still prefer to wear a binder when I go out, but in the times that I can't bind (at home, I work a v physically laboring job so I have to take breaks) it makes me want to hide in multiples layers of Huge Black Dysphoria Hoodie so much LESS. Just my experience though!
On the eyebrow piercings - I would say don’t do it. Just because with the fact you draw yours on and like to keep that space to be versatile with I think having jewellery there would just make it be in the way if you wanted to draw them above or below the jewellery. And then the jewellery would look weird I think, like out of place. 😹 Plus if you took it out.. the scarring as you mentioned could also mess with your eyebrow drawing process 😶 Just adding my little thoughts in but it’s your body obviously you do whatever you want! 💜
i always thought labrets were ugly on most people until i saw someone with cyber bites (medusa and labret) and i already had my medusa, so i decided to get my labret and now i loveee it on me and most everyone else too. also i would luv an updated version of this video :D
You are beautiful now and you were beautiful then. We are on a journey and on that journey we gain more experience and hopefully keep growing into wisdom.
Watching this video is so much fun!! I'm pretty sure I started following you around the time of the first video 6 years ago. It's been such a great ride and I feel like it was only yesterday you were in your blue hair era
The lump in your lip sounds like an over-growth of capillaries (I'm not a doctor and the only medical training I've had was when I was a body piercer). My 7-year-old has one from birth. It has shifted and isn't as noticeable and hasn't gotten any larger so it isn't dangerous. That's just what it sounds like. Also, eyebrow piercings were the most difficult piercings I've had thus far. I have deep, very noticeable scars on the tails (or what would be my tails if I didn't shave them) of my eyebrows. After ten years I still can't get eyeshadow to lay down on those areas and my hairs grow out crooked.
I can't even stand hearing my recorded answering message for my phone. If someone showed me a video from 6 years ago I'm pretty sure I would self ignite and burn to ash. 🤣 I'm pretty open to most tattoos and piercings, but I'm WAAAAY too chicken to mess with genital piercings or eyeball 'tattoos'. Permanent damage to either would be no laughing matter!
I'd never get my tongue split! It's really friggin cool but it also creeps me out in terms of the process and healing... yikes! I do enjoy seeing others with split tongues. My daughter was also tongue tied and couldn't nurse properly, now when I say it hurt me.... I mean purple n*pples. Not fun. I almost fainted when they clipped that bit of tongue webbing, and I'm not a squeamish person! So no tongue split for me. Also: I can tell how uncomfortable you were in that older video. I was a different person six years ago, too! My daughter was born in 2016. I'm happy you've grown into your own since then, and I hope you keep growing. 💚🖤
Lovely video! It's so cool to see how you've grown. 🖤 You are definitely more confident now. 😆 I would never get... my tongue split, subdermal implants, eyebrow piercings or a bellybutton piercing. I really like the look of vertical snake bites, but I just hate the thought of healing them. And the impracticality of them when putting on lipstick... I've had my tongue piercing for 21 years now and have always been lucky as far as teeth damage is concerned. So, as much as I LOVE almost all oral piercings, I'm not getting anything else that might possibly change that. 😥 Oh... never getting another dermal either. I have 2, looking like an anti-eyebrow on my right side. Had them done a little over 14 years ago. It's definitely possible to keep them. But... omfg, it's a constant struggle. If you can't be bothered to clean and care for them DAILY, I'd strongly advise against them. I stil love mine. I'd never get rid of them unless I'd absolutely have to. After all this time, my face would just look SO weird without them... but I'm never getting another one. It's just too much work and hassle to keep them from growing out. On the other hand... I always said I'd NEVER get a septum piercing. 🤔🙄 Got it done in March and am very happy with it. 😁 I'd really love to see an updated version of that video. 🙂🤘 As always, much love. 🖤💚👻💚🖤
I used to have my cleavage pierced. The jewellery was like a staple but the ends were at a 45 degree angle. I loved it but it got knocked and never healed so had to take it out
33:36 the only tattoo I have is a very small wave on my arm that reminds me of home and everyone says it’s pointless but I love it so they can F off lol xx
So great seeing your video from years ago! That background music adds to the nonthreatening and polite aura. I'd love to see an updated body mods video. You mention eyebrow piercings - I had a double eyebrow piercing at my left outer eyebrow which I LOVED, but the problem was the metal bars pressing on the edge of the eye orbit. It caused fluid build-up over time & after a couple of years, it started looking like I was growing a brow ridge in that spot. I took the piercings out & the fluid gradually dissipated. I do still have scars but I don't really mind them.
My chest dermal got ripped out at a festival because I just kept catching it on everything! And I had a surface piercing in my neck that kept getting pulled by my partner at the time when we were asleep 🙃
2% more confident. 👌 also could you maybe partially re grow eyebrows but shave off the tails and get a nose bridge piercing… but higher, is that a thing? 🤣 eyebrow piercing but not. Or eyebrow level above pupil and after the first part of the brow then draw on some sexy tails 😏
Hiya Boooooo! Love it when I see a new vid appear! Emily I don't know if you know this channel but "Lily Lu" has a great fun channel and an amazing style of tattooing! He's the only one who I've seen that does fantastic eyeball Tattooing and scarification! But you should check it out I think you'd enjoy it!💚💜🖤🥰
You said you did'nt like tribal and I'm sitting her like "oh... that's what I designed for my brother when he was going to tattoo his back." It is really cute tho. It is E and J in the middle (his girls) and tribal out on his shoulders. I'm really proud of it. That he asked me to desgin it. And now he has my art on his body. I thank that is really beautiful. But yeah, that is personal and meaningfull. If it was just tribal I will not like it. But yeah. This is that one tribal tattoo I like. Not because I desgined it, but because it is for his daugthers. He is a really amazing dad. ❤
I really want my eyeballs tattooed too but my fiance hates them and I have so many problems with my eyes anyway with allergies and constant dryness along with the danger so it'll never happen but if I did I'd have black as my eyes are grey and I love how it looks when someone with light grey eyes gets theirs done black. Yep, a single eyebrow piercing on a bloke does indeed look chavvy lol. My tongue piercing nearly killed the bottom of my mouth and I had it done 4 times I think. Tongue piercing hardly looks good on anyone unless you have a naturally long, thin tongue and few people do. I really want a third eye dermal but have a tattoo there anyway and have to get botox in that spot anyway. 💯% agree with you on the finger tattoos! I've got to get mine recoloured on Friday 😬 I've still got 2 tribal tattoos I had done in 1995! lol. They're going to be coverups.
I LOVE my eyebrow piercing!!!!! DO ITTTTT!!!!!! I am far from chavvy lol! I am hoping to get more piercings ahahaha. Love you and your younger self, you're awesome so stop putting yourself down! xxxxx
Would you get your ears pointed? I love the way it looks but being awake and the gore while it’s done puts me off, I’m too chicken. I have been flirting with the idea of permanent fangs but I think I would find it hard to justify the price. An updated list and maybe your wish list of things you want to get would be interesting. I’m sad that shitty “tribal” on white people is a trend again as part of this 90’s revival, seen so many white girls getting “tribal” tramp stamps. It’s a shame because there is so much educational content out there now that is easily accessible and I have been seeing more and more content from indigenous young people getting and explaining legit tribal markings. Idk I just thought we had moved on from being so culturally insensitive.
I have two tribal tatt's and I love them! I got the first at 17 and the second about 22. The first one was done at a shit studio by a shit artist and it is all raised up and patchy, oh and some of the wee forks just don't even match! The second one I got from a really talented French artist and I love it! For me I love them because It takes me back to better times when I was a lot happier! I'm 39 now but I'd never have them covered up, however I do have one tattoo regret . . . . A 'BARRY' on my hip! 😭😭😭😭 Never be this stupid people, as soon as you do this the relationship is cursed and WILL End! 🥰🥰🖤
here in Germany in the early 2000s so many women got "tribal" "tramp stamps"' (idk any other name for them in english, sorry if that is a mean word for it. I prefer the German word "Arschgeweih" it means "ass-antlers" which is actually at least sort of descriptive of what it is and doesn't try to devalue the person who got it.) and I think those tattoos can look quite nice, but not as "tribal", and like you said "what tribe are you from?", if people are actually from a tribe and get a tattoo that symbolises their heritage that's beautiful but a bunch of white people with thick black lines tattooed on them are not a tribe, it's cringe those tattoos are even called tribal, it devalues the meaning of actual tribe related tattoos; and the disrespect of that alone makes what is known here as tribal tattoos and the people who get them really fucking ugly and i have prosopagnosia and do not experience aesthetic attraction towards people, i am also autistic and i find it impossible to adhere to rules unless i 100% understand the reason why, and social rules of who or what is to be classified as ugly or pretty never made sense to me and no one ever explained why certain visual things about people should be judged as ugly or pretty in a way that i accepted as valid reasons, i don't think it's possible for people to explain such arbitrary rules to me in a way i understand the reason of their existence, so i will never be able to follow them even if i wanted to so for me to think someone is ugly from how their body or face looks is really difficult to accomplish, but it is possible though putting disrespectful or even hateful imagery on their body (as pretentious as it sounds, for me the deciding factor of if someone is aesthetically pleasing for me to look at is their personality and opinions, so for me the only way to decide someone is ugly from visuals alone is for them to have it tattoed on their skin) so i 100% agree with not getting "tribal" tattoos my partner got their eyebrow done in spring, and it didn't cause any issues for them yet, only issue with it is the placement got slightly messed up and the lower hole ended up a tiny bit lower than it was supposed to go, and it was my partners first piercing so they were a bit fussy and stressed during the first few weeks eyeball tattoos look really cool and i would love to get one, but the risks are way too big and most artists don't even have the necessary experience of doing it because it is so dangerous and rare for people to do, which makes it even more dangerous, then there is also the issue of allergic reactions, i for example have multiple things i only became allergic to later in life, so even if one is not allergic to the ink immediately one could become allergic to it later and there would be the constant risk of it, also if there was a problem with an eye or an internal organ it would be hard to recognize for doctors because of the ink hiding the usual indicators like discoloration, i had acute liver and thyroid failure at 16 and it was only caught early enough to reverse because the white of my eyes turned yellow so i wouldn't get one i would love to get tongue split but i cant with scalpels or needles near my mouth, i still don't know how i managed too get my tongue pierced like it was nothing when they have to knock me out at the dentist, if i can't have it done without injected analgesics or need to use a scalpel, like my wisdom teeth removal, i did have a root canal and beyond saving inflamed tooth nerve removal done without pain meds so it's definitely not the pain that would be an issue for me I want to get my right nipple re-pierced, i had the breast removed and the nipple and piercing hole went with it. i have a new nipple now, and since it has been 2 years healed now i am actually safe and allowed to get it done, also might get the tiny pigmentation issue where the new nipple lost its colouration fixed while i'm at it also would like to get a genital piercing but since i'm inter* and neither have a typical vulva or penis i'm not sure a piercer would know what could be safely done to it. and i know that if something would go wrong with scar tissue or infection most doctors would jump at the excuse to surgically "fix" it because then they could have plausible deniability of if it was necessary, and i got lucky it was not that obvious and they were distracted by my slightly open stomach and bright yellow skin so they didn't notice it when i was a baby. because they mutilate babies like me every day just to make them fit in. but it doesn't need "fixing" it's perfect the way it is, i would just enjoy to make it even prettier by putting some jewellery on it. the worry of something going wrong is probably unfounded, since lucky for me, i did not have any issues with any piercing so far except my first. i got my belly button pierced when i turned 14 then immediately hit a 20cm growth spurt, and the skin didn't grow fast enough and was super tight for a while where bending over made me feel like the skin was ripping which it did, i got the horizontal stretch marks to prove it (they look unusual but i think stretch marks are super pretty and having unusual ones is pretty cool) but tight skin around a fresh piercing is not ideal and it grew out to the impressively tiny size of 4mm, so i took it out, and i do regret getting it because i got it for all the wrong reasons, like trying to prove i am a girl, which i am not and didn't even want to be back then, but the pressure to be what was expected of me and fit in was crushing my soul and i wanted a piercing. my sister the "perfect picture of femininity" wanted a belly button piercing and that was the girliest piercing i could think of, also my cousins 26 year old husband had just SAed me and only didn't do more than touch my belly under my shirt because i managed to get away and since then my belly didn't feel like it was mine anymore and i wanted to stake my claim on my own body part and when i brought the piercing up with my mother she was so delighted i wanted to do a "girl thing" that she took me to get it done the next day.. getting a body modification to try and prove something or because it would make someone else happy is not great, also as much fun as getting piercings is it can't replace therapy and now i have a scar that needs regular care so it won't get infected because it didn't close completely and sort of became a little pouch where dirt collects and every time i clean it reminds me of one of the worst times of my life so that's top of my list to never get done (again) surface piercings like hips have a too high risk of leaving scars like my bellybutton piercing did, so i wouldn't get one of those either
Most body mods I wouldn't get. Mainly because my body doesn't like to heal anything, even little scratches. So I don't see the point in spending the money and time on a mod that most likely won't heal and will most likely cause me other issues. Currently I have my first lobes and a new daith. I'm hoping the daith heals, but we'll see. I love seeing mods on other people though.
When I first got my eyebrow pierced I didn't have eyebrows, I would shave them off and I never had any issue's with it healing. You would look so cute with your eyebrows pierced!!!!
I am dying from your opening song! Body mods & tattoos I would never get -- most of them, because I have a nervous habit of picking at any slight bumps on my skin & I would just make a mess of them! There's a spot on my back I can't reach that's probably safe for a tattoo, but don't worry, it won't be a tribal one. I have 4 holes in one ear lobe & 2 holes in the other, & I keep thinking I should balance them out with a 3rd hole on the side with fewer, & also maybe get an industrial or tragus or helix or something on the non-lobe part of the ear, but I'm a total wimp about pain sometimes...
I remember watching this video 6 years ago. Your revisiting of the past ishas me thinking about how much I also have changed in the past 6 years. It doesn't seem that long ago, but I've made significant changes in my life since then, some of which I would not have imagined for myself at the time. Glad to hear you are at a happier place in your life.
Ohhhhh love the eyes from grace, I met her once for a guestspot in amsterdam for a tattoo and their stunning. You know they are just nor reverseble or indeed hide it. My current artist has them done twice, black/white/grey marble first time, very well done and healed and looked stunning. Now she added green to it by the same artist and got a infection, it healed luckely but she had quite big green blowouts around her eyes now..
I’m tongue tied. But not all the way up to the tip; probably half way up my tongue, so I can never get my tongue pierced. But I do have my tongue web pierced
I had a surface piercing on the back of my neck about 6 years ago... it was done with a bio flex bar 😬 it ripped out and I have a huge awful scar now. I had my hip done the same time, same bar, and it rejected. You mentioned disks on a tongue bar rather than balls. I didn't know this was an option! Where could I get one?x
i always promised my parents no hand tattoos about 3 years ago... that didnt last long for me lol
I told my parents and mother-in-law I wouldn't get my face tattooed. I did it. 😂

If Ben hasn’t gotten his tongue split, and he still wants the procedure to be done, I’ve heard that having your tongue pierced and healed beforehand, can prevent the tongue from healing back together because it’s already healed from the piercing.
He'd still love it done. Hopefully one day

Btw, your lip bump, if it hasn't grown or anything, it's probably just tissue. No discoloration, no growth, no irritation, it's probably perfectly fine.
Loved your content for years now. Don't knock ALL tribal ink, kiddo. I'm a heavily tattooed elder and for some of us melanated folks with Oceania, African and Indigenous Native American roots they have incredibly deep meaning for us. One of my biggest pet peeves is folks who forget that tribal tattooing has been around for thousands of years, long before white tattooers decided to get creative and imitate the art of our ancestors. Tribal ink isn't all about the 90's. For some of us it's about the connection with our cultures. Sure there's a lot of cheesy, trendy f*ckery out there, but don't toss it all in the bin.
The problem is that fake, ugly, lumpy 'tribal' designed by people who have done no research. The real deal is timeless :)

I think Emily meant the white people trend of getting a tribal tattoo done. Any tattoo that has cultural value is so valid obviously. It is just for us in the "alternative scene" that natives getting their own tribal tattoos in a cultural context is not even remotely in the same sphere of the western "tribal tattoos" many bash because of either 1. knowing that it is cultural appropriation or 2. getting it done because it was trendy at the time.
Oh no, I meant the '90's British' style tribal tattoo's that we;re a huge trend a few years ago.

I remember when you had the little dermal in your forehead it was so cute! When I was in college I had a roommate that had dermals like abover her hips? And they rejected and I went with her when she got them redone but I was worried they would reject again and I think one got infected and she ended up taking them out again
I had a nostril piercing for about a year in college before I got a pretty bad cold. I thought it would've healed the same way as ear piercings which are generally fully healed after a year, so I took it out so wiping my nose wasn't as much of a pain and then was surprised when it started closing after a day and I couldn't get the stud back in. I've always meant to get it redone but I never seem to get around to it lol
This is your sign to get it repierced :P
i said i'd never get anything done to my tounge, genitals and nipples. well now i want my nips pierced but not untill after top surgery (and even then it depends on scaring and what the sugen says).
As a trans man with nipple piercings, I definitely wanted them before top surgery just so I can have truly experienced all the sensations (both pleasure bc they are more sensitive after being pierced, and to be able to say I know the pain of getting them pierced) before they go numb bc of surgery. Still haven't gotten top surgery, but having my nipples pierced gives me so much more confidence! I still prefer to wear a binder when I go out, but in the times that I can't bind (at home, I work a v physically laboring job so I have to take breaks) it makes me want to hide in multiples layers of Huge Black Dysphoria Hoodie so much LESS. Just my experience though!
Think this is the earliest I've ever been! 😅 ...hi🙋🏻♀️🖤
It's much appreciated :D
On the eyebrow piercings - I would say don’t do it. Just because with the fact you draw yours on and like to keep that space to be versatile with I think having jewellery there would just make it be in the way if you wanted to draw them above or below the jewellery. And then the jewellery would look weird I think, like out of place. 😹 Plus if you took it out.. the scarring as you mentioned could also mess with your eyebrow drawing process 😶
Just adding my little thoughts in but it’s your body obviously you do whatever you want! 💜
I said I wouldn't bother with eyebrow piercings then one day I changed my mind and got double eyebrow piercings done. Ended up liking them after.
I remember when I was a freshman in college I had a lip service skirt that said FUCK all of it in hot pink and I thought I was so bad ass. Cringe!!
i always thought labrets were ugly on most people until i saw someone with cyber bites (medusa and labret) and i already had my medusa, so i decided to get my labret and now i loveee it on me and most everyone else too.
also i would luv an updated version of this video :D
You are beautiful now and you were beautiful then.
We are on a journey and on that journey we gain more experience and hopefully keep growing into wisdom.
Watching this video is so much fun!! I'm pretty sure I started following you around the time of the first video 6 years ago. It's been such a great ride and I feel like it was only yesterday you were in your blue hair era
Awwwwh
I have 6 eyebrow piercings go ahead aren’t you intending on like not taking out the piercings
Would love to see a reaction to the other video, also maybe stories from your work as a piercer? Can imagine you get some strange requests
You mentioned hand dermals, but may I raise you pierced webbing? 🤮
You are the most lovable darling on RUclips
I never had a daughter but if I did.....
The lump in your lip sounds like an over-growth of capillaries (I'm not a doctor and the only medical training I've had was when I was a body piercer). My 7-year-old has one from birth. It has shifted and isn't as noticeable and hasn't gotten any larger so it isn't dangerous. That's just what it sounds like.
Also, eyebrow piercings were the most difficult piercings I've had thus far. I have deep, very noticeable scars on the tails (or what would be my tails if I didn't shave them) of my eyebrows. After ten years I still can't get eyeshadow to lay down on those areas and my hairs grow out crooked.
You are such a lovable person emily always find your interesting you always worth watching love you emily you are a sweet person interesting video
I can't even stand hearing my recorded answering message for my phone. If someone showed me a video from 6 years ago I'm pretty sure I would self ignite and burn to ash. 🤣
I'm pretty open to most tattoos and piercings, but I'm WAAAAY too chicken to mess with genital piercings or eyeball 'tattoos'. Permanent damage to either would be no laughing matter!
I'd never get my tongue split! It's really friggin cool but it also creeps me out in terms of the process and healing... yikes! I do enjoy seeing others with split tongues. My daughter was also tongue tied and couldn't nurse properly, now when I say it hurt me.... I mean purple n*pples. Not fun. I almost fainted when they clipped that bit of tongue webbing, and I'm not a squeamish person! So no tongue split for me. Also: I can tell how uncomfortable you were in that older video. I was a different person six years ago, too! My daughter was born in 2016. I'm happy you've grown into your own since then, and I hope you keep growing. 💚🖤
Lovely video! It's so cool to see how you've grown. 🖤 You are definitely more confident now. 😆
I would never get... my tongue split, subdermal implants, eyebrow piercings or a bellybutton piercing. I really like the look of vertical snake bites, but I just hate the thought of healing them. And the impracticality of them when putting on lipstick... I've had my tongue piercing for 21 years now and have always been lucky as far as teeth damage is concerned. So, as much as I LOVE almost all oral piercings, I'm not getting anything else that might possibly change that. 😥
Oh... never getting another dermal either. I have 2, looking like an anti-eyebrow on my right side. Had them done a little over 14 years ago. It's definitely possible to keep them. But... omfg, it's a constant struggle. If you can't be bothered to clean and care for them DAILY, I'd strongly advise against them. I stil love mine. I'd never get rid of them unless I'd absolutely have to. After all this time, my face would just look SO weird without them... but I'm never getting another one. It's just too much work and hassle to keep them from growing out.
On the other hand... I always said I'd NEVER get a septum piercing. 🤔🙄 Got it done in March and am very happy with it. 😁
I'd really love to see an updated version of that video. 🙂🤘
As always, much love. 🖤💚👻💚🖤
I used to have my cleavage pierced. The jewellery was like a staple but the ends were at a 45 degree angle. I loved it but it got knocked and never healed so had to take it out
33:36 the only tattoo I have is a very small wave on my arm that reminds me of home and everyone says it’s pointless but I love it so they can F off lol xx
So great seeing your video from years ago! That background music adds to the nonthreatening and polite aura. I'd love to see an updated body mods video. You mention eyebrow piercings - I had a double eyebrow piercing at my left outer eyebrow which I LOVED, but the problem was the metal bars pressing on the edge of the eye orbit. It caused fluid build-up over time & after a couple of years, it started looking like I was growing a brow ridge in that spot. I took the piercings out & the fluid gradually dissipated. I do still have scars but I don't really mind them.
Just realise I’m tongue tied 😅
girl you too with the I'm still standing remix lmao I swear goths are a hive brain
I purposely refuse to get pierced back home now because the options where I am now are sooo much better and safer
My chest dermal got ripped out at a festival because I just kept catching it on everything! And I had a surface piercing in my neck that kept getting pulled by my partner at the time when we were asleep 🙃
Do the eyebrow piercing, once it finally effing heals, you'll feel even more like a badass 💖
I’d absolutely love to see an updated version!!! That would be so cool!!! 😍💚🖤xxx
2% more confident. 👌 also could you maybe partially re grow eyebrows but shave off the tails and get a nose bridge piercing… but higher, is that a thing? 🤣 eyebrow piercing but not. Or eyebrow level above pupil and after the first part of the brow then draw on some sexy tails 😏
Good thinking, Batman!
i really want a mandible and have done for ages. too scared to research the possibility though
I said bless you out loud when you sneezed 🤣 my family was so confused
Hiya Boooooo! Love it when I see a new vid appear! Emily I don't know if you know this channel but "Lily Lu" has a great fun channel and an amazing style of tattooing! He's the only one who I've seen that does fantastic eyeball Tattooing and scarification! But you should check it out I think you'd enjoy it!💚💜🖤🥰
Thanx for the tip xx
Here for reviewing your old contentttt
It's always interesting to look back and see how far you've come
Tongue split is now illegal in the uk🥲🥲🥲
I felt that children definitely age a person
6:08 Bless you!!
Defo update this
i love labrets but they get caught behind my teeth in the front and then it gets yanked on and it it hurts like a *bleep*
Owf! I don't miss that feeling!
OMG I completely forgot about the moon dermal you used to have! I was OBSESSED with it ❤
Urgh, I'd love it back but it's not worth the hassle x
@@emilybooboo Would you tattoo a tiny silver moon, instead of having the jewelry?
Boo boo quick quick boo
You said you did'nt like tribal and I'm sitting her like "oh... that's what I designed for my brother when he was going to tattoo his back." It is really cute tho. It is E and J in the middle (his girls) and tribal out on his shoulders. I'm really proud of it. That he asked me to desgin it. And now he has my art on his body. I thank that is really beautiful. But yeah, that is personal and meaningfull. If it was just tribal I will not like it. But yeah. This is that one tribal tattoo I like. Not because I desgined it, but because it is for his daugthers. He is a really amazing dad. ❤
That little fan is cute lol
I really want my eyeballs tattooed too but my fiance hates them and I have so many problems with my eyes anyway with allergies and constant dryness along with the danger so it'll never happen but if I did I'd have black as my eyes are grey and I love how it looks when someone with light grey eyes gets theirs done black.
Yep, a single eyebrow piercing on a bloke does indeed look chavvy lol.
My tongue piercing nearly killed the bottom of my mouth and I had it done 4 times I think. Tongue piercing hardly looks good on anyone unless you have a naturally long, thin tongue and few people do.
I really want a third eye dermal but have a tattoo there anyway and have to get botox in that spot anyway.
💯% agree with you on the finger tattoos! I've got to get mine recoloured on Friday 😬
I've still got 2 tribal tattoos I had done in 1995! lol. They're going to be coverups.
I LOVE my eyebrow piercing!!!!! DO ITTTTT!!!!!! I am far from chavvy lol! I am hoping to get more piercings ahahaha. Love you and your younger self, you're awesome so stop putting yourself down! xxxxx
But now I wanna know how bad the titty tattoos hurt because I want mine but eek!
Not too bad at all :)
Would you get your ears pointed? I love the way it looks but being awake and the gore while it’s done puts me off, I’m too chicken. I have been flirting with the idea of permanent fangs but I think I would find it hard to justify the price. An updated list and maybe your wish list of things you want to get would be interesting. I’m sad that shitty “tribal” on white people is a trend again as part of this 90’s revival, seen so many white girls getting “tribal” tramp stamps. It’s a shame because there is so much educational content out there now that is easily accessible and I have been seeing more and more content from indigenous young people getting and explaining legit tribal markings. Idk I just thought we had moved on from being so culturally insensitive.
I have two tribal tatt's and I love them! I got the first at 17 and the second about 22. The first one was done at a shit studio by a shit artist and it is all raised up and patchy, oh and some of the wee forks just don't even match! The second one I got from a really talented French artist and I love it! For me I love them because It takes me back to better times when I was a lot happier! I'm 39 now but I'd never have them covered up, however I do have one tattoo regret . . . . A 'BARRY' on my hip! 😭😭😭😭 Never be this stupid people, as soon as you do this the relationship is cursed and WILL End! 🥰🥰🖤
I have a tribal tattoo. On the small of my back. The year was 1993. (Yes, it's getting covered up.) This video was so amusing.
here in Germany in the early 2000s so many women got "tribal" "tramp stamps"' (idk any other name for them in english, sorry if that is a mean word for it. I prefer the German word "Arschgeweih" it means "ass-antlers" which is actually at least sort of descriptive of what it is and doesn't try to devalue the person who got it.)
and I think those tattoos can look quite nice, but not as "tribal", and like you said "what tribe are you from?", if people are actually from a tribe and get a tattoo that symbolises their heritage that's beautiful
but a bunch of white people with thick black lines tattooed on them are not a tribe, it's cringe those tattoos are even called tribal, it devalues the meaning of actual tribe related tattoos;
and the disrespect of that alone makes what is known here as tribal tattoos and the people who get them really fucking ugly
and i have prosopagnosia and do not experience aesthetic attraction towards people, i am also autistic and i find it impossible to adhere to rules unless i 100% understand the reason why, and social rules of who or what is to be classified as ugly or pretty never made sense to me and no one ever explained why certain visual things about people should be judged as ugly or pretty in a way that i accepted as valid reasons, i don't think it's possible for people to explain such arbitrary rules to me in a way i understand the reason of their existence, so i will never be able to follow them even if i wanted to
so for me to think someone is ugly from how their body or face looks is really difficult to accomplish, but it is possible though putting disrespectful or even hateful imagery on their body
(as pretentious as it sounds, for me the deciding factor of if someone is aesthetically pleasing for me to look at is their personality and opinions, so for me the only way to decide someone is ugly from visuals alone is for them to have it tattoed on their skin)
so i 100% agree with not getting "tribal" tattoos
my partner got their eyebrow done in spring, and it didn't cause any issues for them yet, only issue with it is the placement got slightly messed up and the lower hole ended up a tiny bit lower than it was supposed to go, and it was my partners first piercing so they were a bit fussy and stressed during the first few weeks
eyeball tattoos look really cool and i would love to get one, but the risks are way too big and most artists don't even have the necessary experience of doing it because it is so dangerous and rare for people to do, which makes it even more dangerous,
then there is also the issue of allergic reactions, i for example have multiple things i only became allergic to later in life, so even if one is not allergic to the ink immediately one could become allergic to it later and there would be the constant risk of it,
also if there was a problem with an eye or an internal organ it would be hard to recognize for doctors because of the ink hiding the usual indicators like discoloration,
i had acute liver and thyroid failure at 16 and it was only caught early enough to reverse because the white of my eyes turned yellow
so i wouldn't get one
i would love to get tongue split but i cant with scalpels or needles near my mouth, i still don't know how i managed too get my tongue pierced like it was nothing when they have to knock me out at the dentist, if i can't have it done without injected analgesics or need to use a scalpel, like my wisdom teeth removal, i did have a root canal and beyond saving inflamed tooth nerve removal done without pain meds so it's definitely not the pain that would be an issue for me
I want to get my right nipple re-pierced, i had the breast removed and the nipple and piercing hole went with it. i have a new nipple now, and since it has been 2 years healed now i am actually safe and allowed to get it done, also might get the tiny pigmentation issue where the new nipple lost its colouration fixed while i'm at it
also would like to get a genital piercing but since i'm inter* and neither have a typical vulva or penis i'm not sure a piercer would know what could be safely done to it. and i know that if something would go wrong with scar tissue or infection most doctors would jump at the excuse to surgically "fix" it because then they could have plausible deniability of if it was necessary, and i got lucky it was not that obvious and they were distracted by my slightly open stomach and bright yellow skin so they didn't notice it when i was a baby. because they mutilate babies like me every day just to make them fit in. but it doesn't need "fixing" it's perfect the way it is, i would just enjoy to make it even prettier by putting some jewellery on it.
the worry of something going wrong is probably unfounded, since lucky for me, i did not have any issues with any piercing so far except my first.
i got my belly button pierced when i turned 14 then immediately hit a 20cm growth spurt, and the skin didn't grow fast enough and was super tight for a while where bending over made me feel like the skin was ripping which it did, i got the horizontal stretch marks to prove it (they look unusual but i think stretch marks are super pretty and having unusual ones is pretty cool) but tight skin around a fresh piercing is not ideal and it grew out to the impressively tiny size of 4mm, so i took it out,
and i do regret getting it because i got it for all the wrong reasons,
like trying to prove i am a girl, which i am not and didn't even want to be back then, but the pressure to be what was expected of me and fit in was crushing my soul and i wanted a piercing. my sister the "perfect picture of femininity" wanted a belly button piercing and that was the girliest piercing i could think of,
also my cousins 26 year old husband had just SAed me and only didn't do more than touch my belly under my shirt because i managed to get away and since then my belly didn't feel like it was mine anymore and i wanted to stake my claim on my own body part
and when i brought the piercing up with my mother she was so delighted i wanted to do a "girl thing" that she took me to get it done the next day.. getting a body modification to try and prove something or because it would make someone else happy is not great, also as much fun as getting piercings is it can't replace therapy
and now i have a scar that needs regular care so it won't get infected because it didn't close completely and sort of became a little pouch where dirt collects and every time i clean it reminds me of one of the worst times of my life
so that's top of my list to never get done (again)
surface piercings like hips have a too high risk of leaving scars like my bellybutton piercing did, so i wouldn't get one of those either
Most body mods I wouldn't get. Mainly because my body doesn't like to heal anything, even little scratches. So I don't see the point in spending the money and time on a mod that most likely won't heal and will most likely cause me other issues. Currently I have my first lobes and a new daith. I'm hoping the daith heals, but we'll see. I love seeing mods on other people though.
I love piercings, I won't get my eyebrows pierced can't have a needle that close to my eyes, just scares me
When I first got my eyebrow pierced I didn't have eyebrows, I would shave them off and I never had any issue's with it healing. You would look so cute with your eyebrows pierced!!!!
I am dying from your opening song!
Body mods & tattoos I would never get -- most of them, because I have a nervous habit of picking at any slight bumps on my skin & I would just make a mess of them! There's a spot on my back I can't reach that's probably safe for a tattoo, but don't worry, it won't be a tribal one. I have 4 holes in one ear lobe & 2 holes in the other, & I keep thinking I should balance them out with a 3rd hole on the side with fewer, & also maybe get an industrial or tragus or helix or something on the non-lobe part of the ear, but I'm a total wimp about pain sometimes...
Awww I miss the blue haired zombie mermaid! And Oh my god I love your sneezes 🤣❤
Gen z are getting tribal tattoos now. Naomi Jon has a lower back tribal tattoo. It’s god awful
Is hers really a tribal?
@@TheGoudvisie that’s what I would call it
Bless you Emily
Hi Emily 😊 loved this one, although you are WAYY too harsh on your past self! Pleeeeaaase do the body mod reaction video 🙏. Much love 💗
I remember watching this video 6 years ago. Your revisiting of the past ishas me thinking about how much I also have changed in the past 6 years. It doesn't seem that long ago, but I've made significant changes in my life since then, some of which I would not have imagined for myself at the time. Glad to hear you are at a happier place in your life.
Where is that green stripe top from
It's a pair of tights that I cut the crotch out of x
I thought I only wanted to get my septum pierced but now I’ve gotten like seven more 🙈
Ohhhhh love the eyes from grace, I met her once for a guestspot in amsterdam for a tattoo and their stunning. You know they are just nor reverseble or indeed hide it. My current artist has them done twice, black/white/grey marble first time, very well done and healed and looked stunning. Now she added green to it by the same artist and got a infection, it healed luckely but she had quite big green blowouts around her eyes now..
Aw Emily we adore & cherish you 🖤 you have a bad ass & youthful look to you, you’ve evolved seamlessly.
Lmfao I'm dying at you roasting your eyebrows . 🤣
I vaguely remember that old intro! You've come so far 😁💚
I know you don't like the teal hair but I love it! xx
that poll was so close it means you need to also do the piercing history video thanks in advance haha
This was great!
Thanx for watching!
Yes! Do more updated one!
LOVE you BOO!
I’m tongue tied. But not all the way up to the tip; probably half way up my tongue, so I can never get my tongue pierced. But I do have my tongue web pierced
Could always try for two separate tongue piercings :P
Hey I see you have a demonia referral code but when I click it, it just goes to the regular site. What’s it supposed to do?
If you purchase boots from the link it help's my channel out :)
love your little dance during the whole thing lol
I love your videos and you look amazing then and you look amazing know you are one of my biggest impressions for some of my makeup
Awhh thank you so much!
I had a surface piercing on the back of my neck about 6 years ago... it was done with a bio flex bar 😬 it ripped out and I have a huge awful scar now. I had my hip done the same time, same bar, and it rejected. You mentioned disks on a tongue bar rather than balls. I didn't know this was an option! Where could I get one?x
Any good piercing studio should be able to source one :D Internally threaded titanium with discs, it'll change your piercing life :P
Love your honesty
Thanx for watching x
Is vegan cheese good? They probably like vegan cheese sandwiches
Nooooo!!
