Holiday Season
Just got back into work today after a lengthy weekend of boarding and spending all my money. Being a piercer during the holiday season sucks. We work during the best part of the day, don't get out til late, and no one even comes in during this time to get pierced! Everyone's out spending their money on presents and shit. So while everyone else is busy spending their money and getting cool shit, we're stuck here not making ANY money. So next time your out Christmas shopping and thinking about that new piercing, DO IT! Your local piercer will GREATLY appreciate it. Especially if it's me :)

First things first
Obviously, you may need to know about some healing procedures for your new piercings or even some regular maintenance info for your healed ones, So I'll put those up here right away.
For any healing oral piercings: http://www.safepiercing.org/publications/brochures/oral-aftercare/
Body aftercare: http://www.safepiercing.org/publications/brochures/body-aftercare/
And for anyone who has labret (lip) or cheek piercings, you'll want to read up on both. Now, for healed piercings, there are a TON of different ways you can keep them nice and spiffy. I personally like Emu Oil. It's kind of hard to locate, but worth it. All you need is a small drop of it. Gently rub it around the entrance of your piercing. Some people even use it on oral piercings, which is completely fine. Contradictory to it's name, it does not taste like a big dead bird. It actually has almost no taste to it whatsoever.

Go easy on me
This is the first time I've ever done anything like this and I didn't even really know what blogging was before today! I got tired of people always posting on my fb wall about piercings and such, so I decided to create this. Hopefully once I figure this out, I'll have my whole portfolio on here also. My name is Kelli Zeien and I am a professional piercer at Sinister Productions Tattoo in Mt. Pleasant, MI, so don't think I'm just a Bod Mod enthusiast blowing smoke. I'm pretty good at what I do.
