i’m a body piercer and i’ve pierced family before and my cousin made me board to trigger train today when she showed me her BFs new piercings she done, with a piercing gun, she bought online because apparently i charge too much 🤷🏼♀️ btw i give them family discount 🙄
For those scared of getting a piercing now, think about this: Roly's made dozens upon dozens of videos about home/amateur piercing fails, and this is the *only* video he's made about professional piercing fails. It probably took him a while to find enough content for this video.
As a piercer and someone that's been in tattoo studios for agessssss this stuff never happens in reputable studios! Piercer have to train and no studio will never let someone Pierce that hasn't had extensive training and licencing! Good things to look out for is that the Piercer used titanium jewlery, autoclavable tools such as metal clamps that are titanium or surgical steel, if you get 2 piercings they WILL use 2 needles even if its lobes as even that is considered reusing needles, correct PPE (Gloves,aprons,masks ect), the needles must always be opened in front of the client and they will always walk you through the process before during and after. And the aftercare is fully detailed and they stress that you do not use salt water but saline and its WOUND WASH not contact lense solution! The best advice I can give is If the piercing station looks almost medical then chances are your in a safe environment. Xx
I work st one of those places and my boss told me to say the same bs. I dont. I say it's a gun and warn people away and if they still want it.. I guess I have to
That person was so unprofessional. They screwed up because them pulling on the nose caused the girl to move forward slightly. And them not wearing gloves is unsanitary.
Literally watching the video now and I've just finished watching that part, is it wrong that as a fellow piercer, I want to slap her about for what she did to that poor customer?!!
“She just jumped a little bit” don’t they know she’s recording? And it proves she didn’t move? Why even make it up when it’s so easy to prove it isn’t true?
“Shes got a tiny nose” gave me flashbacks to 10 year old me when the Clairs piercer said to my mother “she has fat ear lobes.” And then pierced them super high. 😭
Noo this happened to me😭 they could only pierce one because my earlobes were too fat ahahah, like excuse me I am a child, don’t make fun of ma fat ear lobess😩
Piercing professionals are just like hairstylists or maybe even doctors. You always go to someone expecting what you want to be fulfilled, however that's not always the case. Anytime you get a service you take a risk.
Not only that, but people do make mistakes and it's also about how they own up to it and how they take the feedback- that they'll educate themselves to do better or not do it at all. Plenty of people don't take criticism and feedback well but in this industry, they need to take that stuff seriously because they are potentially hurting people, not just their reputation.
I remember when I went to a tattoo apprentice. The studio had offered free tattoos to be done by this apprentice artist. You had to submit idea and placement proposals and the studio would pick the ones they liked and you'd get it free, in return for the artist being allowed to publish photos. I applied, and I was shocked that when I was contacted to be told I was selected, they said I was the ONLY person who had asked to see a portfolio of work this lady had done thus far, and the ONLY person who had asked about her certifications eg blood-borne pathogens. Turned out great; one of my favourite tattoos.
I went to get my septum pierced, and she pierced it wonky the first time. She was so apologetic and asked if I was okay to let her do it again. She did it again, and now its perfect and I'll never go to another piercer besides her EVER. Her honesty really impressed me. I was so thankful she didn't let me walk out with a jacked up septum ring.
I got my septum pierced wonky the first time too, it was so low down I couldn’t chew food without it touching my upper lip. The piercer made the excuse that “you can change it to a smaller ring and it will look better.” Like he didn’t completely mess up and pierce too low. I went to another shop a few days later and they said it was so low that it was just going to grow out. I ended up taking it out and getting it done by a different piercer in the same shop because they promised upgraded jewelry.
My first one was wonky as well. Like I sat up, and my piercer told me: "oh, I'm not too happy about that one", and then yeah, did it again. It's perfecly healed and fine now, and it's still my studio of choice. Same guy did my conch a week ago.
I had my septum done back in 2004, along with my bf at the time. The piercer examined our noses, BEFORE he even took out any piercing equipment. He told me mine would be a breeze, almost painless and quick healing (and said i had dream cartilage for piercing, lol)☺️. My bf, however, told him it was going to hurt, his cartilage was thick, without a sweet spot, and it would take a few months to heal well. We both went ahead (we already had piercings). True to his word, my septum healed within a week, painless, easy! The bf, well, the crunch of the cartilage I heard during the piercing was LOUD!😨 His septum healed slowly, and took over 3 months. I had 3 more piercings done by this pro until I moved. He set a standard of care I look for with other pros. 😌 Get yourself a real professional.

They have videos on why you shouldn't get certain piercings, and they basically just listed things that pertained to every piercing, period. Would not trust them ever.
I was walking past a Claire's a couple weeks back, when they first opened back up, and I saw a baby being restrained by the parents whilst they had their ears pierced, the screaming that was coming from that child broke my heart and really pissed me off. I just don't see why a baby needs they ears pierced in these parents minds
In Australia its pretty common for hair salons to offer gun piercings (why!?!) and I used to work next door to one... The number of screaming kids and babies I heard made me sick to my stomach! :( so awful
i 100% agree, but some ethnicities pierce their child’s ear at a very young age, i’m hispanic and it was really weird for my family that i didn’t get my ears pierced until i was 9 because most of the girls in my family got them when they were like 6 months old 😂
I think he looks more normal with his contacts in than he does without them also I've never seen anyone pull of those crazy cool contacts like roly can....so beautiful love you!
That plastic clamp freaks me out- it can't be autoclaved, so either they're reusing a dirty clamp or they're using single use clamps and wasting tons of plastic. Sick...
I’m in a fully disposable studio so I use plastic clamps that are presteralized. Waste isn’t a issue because you use more plastic PPE (shoe covers, gloves, face shield, mask, arm covers, clean room suit or smock) than the clamps. Plus medical recycling is a thing too!
@@dahliamuerte2428 but does your shop actually do medical recycling? And follow up with the company that it is actually recycled and not thrown away? 👀
@@syd1735 yes! It took me a while to find a company considering we have a large medical and surgical center. I just have to separate plastic from metal. I obviously don’t recycle needles but tapers get tossed in the metals if the client doesn’t want to take it home
@@lovely_nina8768 my eyes went wide and jaw dropped especially as i think the knife was serrated one wrong move and the tongue was being sliced open with the potential of bleeding out in seconds
I thought it was like, an accident and they were trying to remove something (my first thought was a fishing hook or something).... But no. I don’t know wth was going on there.
I agree with you on Lulu's. I watched them for a while. I remember then saying in one of their videos that you shouldn't get pierced in any mall shop. They are a mall shop.
‘She’s got such a tiny nose’- my nose is much smaller and mine was pierced just fine not once, but twice. That person was making all kinds of excuses 🙄
My nose is pretty small too and my piercer used a receiving tube when I got my nose pierced. I feel like they help a lot and help guide it through better and keep from hitting or damaging anything else. He even used a receiving tube when I got my septum pierced as well.
@@FlickeringEmber yep, my piercer stuck his fingers up my nose to feel where my sweet spot was when I went to get my septum done. 😂😂 It was awkward and funny but it turned out perfect and healed perfect, no problems.
I got a Christina piercing a couple of weeks ago at my friends shop. He's a tattoo artist and I trust him and his employees. Well while she was getting everything prepared she was telling me about all her credentials, how she's been piercing for 16 years, is certified in 6 countries, etc. After the piercing was done I saw it was pretty crooked. I mentioned it to her and she said it was perfect.. basically made me feel crazy. So I sent a pic to the shop owner and a few friends and everyone agreed it wasn't straight. I decided to let it heal for 2 weeks at her recommendation and have it redone. I understand that ppl make mistakes but if u do just own up to it. I paid $100 and if I didn't know the owner I doubt she would have even redone it.
@@RolyWestYT exactly my friend was there and she is terrified of anything piercing or tattoo related. She's the goody-two-shoes type which is great we are total opposites but make great friends because we both breed ball pythons. Anyways she thought I was going to jump off the table but I laid there is still as could be. My friend was pretty impressed by that. I've had plenty of piercings so I know what to expect but after hearing all of her credentials and all of that and the fact that she tried to convince me that it wasn't crooked when it was obviously very crooked really got under my skin and I got more and more irritated about it. I hated contacting the owner I don't want to get her in trouble but if I hadn't have done that I guarantee I would never have gotten that piercing redone. She had me come in the next day and then she finally admitted it was crooked. I don't have a ton of money to be spending $100 on a genital piercing. Not to mention I'm not sure about this maybe you can enlighten me but from every picture I've seen the jewel goes on top and then the ball or flat round metal piece goes on the bottom. She says that the jewel goes on the bottom and that's where the L shape in the bar is I have never seen it that way in any pictures so I think she's doing it upside down. Either way it was just so annoying. It was a pretty painful piercing but I've had natural childbirth so nothing compares LOL. I just hope the second time around goes better. Wish me luck!
As someone who has been a professional piercer for 13 years: thanks you SO much Roly for saying what I am thinking!!! I only speak my full thoughts in private piercing groups, but I am definitely on the trigger train !!! Lol
"she just jumped" is what a nurse said to me while giving me an IV and then had to redo it..... I'm pretty sure everyone moves a little. for reference I get infusions every 8 weeks and I have a regular nurse who successfully does it every time even if I move a little
This is why I love my piercer. He has 4 pairs of gloves for every session. 1 to mark my piercing, 2 for sterilising the instruments (1 putting the instruments into the machine and another 1 to take them out) and another 1 for the piercing process itself. Very hygienic and I couldn’t ask for a better piercer.
this is so validating watching your reaction to these. I got my septum pierced a month ago today, and it was SUPER painful, the piercer pierced it in the wrong spot, blamed me for it, and then repierced again. I tried my best not to panic and freak out, but even when I was a little nervous, he showed no empathy at all for what had happened. I accidentally screamed from the pain when he was making his "normal adjustments" and all he said was "I'm literal;y just screwing the ball in. I'm not even doing anything. you're gonna have to stop" I kept saying "I know" and trying not to panic but he didn't care. He was very cold and indifferent. needless to say, I didn't tip him.
The exact same thing happened to me and they said it was cause my septum was deviated and they didn’t realize which seems logical to me but omfg. Once was enough but my heart dropped when they said they had to do it again.
When I got my first nose stud in, she MUST have pierced through a vein or something and I didn't even realize it because I was so new to getting them 😭 I was shocked when I got my second one and it barely bled and went sooo much easier
Being a professional doesn't always mean something can't go wrong. Doctors, nurses, hairstylists, anyone with a business, can mess up. Even someone u fullytrust can have a badday. Don't let it scare u away. Yoy have a less likely chance of a professional messing up than Joe shmoe down the road.
Absolutely! Even though there's risks of, for example, a surgeon making a mistake in surgery, I'll still put my trust in them before someone without the training or experience!!
using piercing guns is literally shoving an earring through your ear and into the earring back, so skin and stuff from the inside of your ear will end up going into the earring back, which is then gonna have even more dead skin and crust building up on it over time. it’s pretty much impossible to keep it clean, it’s really gross and i can’t believe i didn’t realize that when i was younger
I had my firsts done when I was a child and then I decided to get two more on my right ear when I was 15, I'm just lucky they healed up fine and look decent.
So the front of my ear holes are in the right place on both ears. But instead of it being pierced vertically all the way like normal, it was pierced diagonally. So I have to tilt the earring upwards just to find the hole in the back of my ear.
I'm still not over the time I was in Spencer's and heard the cashier explaining how to properly clean earrings to a customer bc rubbing alcohol will wear away the colour on the metal (or something) whilst simultaneously another person asked the door greeter where they could get their ears pierced to which the employee replied "oh, Claire's around the corner does piercings! :)"
Roly, you really are one of my fav TH-camrs! With my finals and applying for university I really had a hard time these months but your videos always kept me going and made me laugh. Thank you for always making me smile, even when times are hard! You are truly flawless!
RE: The gloves. I've seen retail workers wear the same pair all day and they're ridiculously grotty. I've also seen people eating whilst wearing them. Specifically eating things which require your hands eg crisps and sandwiches.
Omg yes!!! I work in fast food and the amount of cross contamination is...astounding. I have to change my gloves every 30 minutes to an hour bc my hands sweat a lot in them. But some of the things my coworkers do 👀💧 it's v gross.
I have a 1 year old daughter and there is no way in hell I would pierce her ears. It's her body, her choice when she gets old enough to make her own decisions. I was forced to get my ears pierced at 4 and now I'm terrified of needles to this day. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I would never want my daughter to go through that.
I haven’t been watching for long but I can tell I’m gonna be here a while, your personality and the way you talk just makes watching these videos so much better
Blow-outs can happen very easily from impatience. It took me three times to finally learn my lesson. The larger the size, the larger the blow-out, the first two times happened my first year of slow stretching. My last one happened many years later at 1-inch and my right lobe took over a year to not look deformed, but it has extra skin/scar tissue I hide with my plugs.
Ever since Bailey Sarian said that she'd been told her eyebrows looked like the wings of the Hollister gull, I can't look at the logo and not think of her... 😎✌🏽🖤
I know that this is a older video, but the video of the little girl reminded me of something that happened to me. One of my first memories is my mom repiercing my ears when I was two or three... at home...with a sewing needle... while holding me still on her lap. I whole-heartedly agree that until little kids can sit still, and say for themselves that they want them. They shouldn't have them. Thankfully it didn't stop me from getting more as I got older. Because I love all of the ones I have, and I can't wait to get more.
Hi! Can you please make an entire video dedicated to why infant's ears shouldn't be pierced (including all of the things you've said in your other videos)? I've been trying my hardest to convince my mother not to pierce my two siblings' ears so early (ages 3 and 4). She just will not listen, and she brings up how many piercings I have. I am an adult who fully consented to--and paid for-- all of my own piercings and can look after my own piercings, unlike how she will take care of my siblings piercings if they were to get some. I think if she could see an entire video on why it's not something good to do, she might change her mind. Thank you!!!
@@sadie_cat I've shown her a couple videos showing the pain that infants go through, but that doesn't seem to phase her much. She says things like, "beauty is pain." Ridiculous in my opinion.
@@marianneheyvaerts5526 It's mostly that she will not help them care for their piercings. She had mine pierced around the age of 5, and they got severely infected. She didn't bother helping me care for them, and I was too young to understand how to do it myself. The younger one also has some sensory issues, and I know it won't end very well.
This video reminded me of when my cousin got her septum pierced by a “professional” at I store I would go to but wouldn’t be pierced by one “professional piercer” after they did one of my piercing. Anyways my cousin went to get her septum done and asked her can I pierce your Cartlidge! She didn’t know what he meant and said yes, after a few months her piercing wouldn’t heal, and she got pressure bump on her piercing. She ended up removing it, a year later she got it re-pierced by another piercer in the sweet spot and said it didn’t hurt as much as the first one did, now she has a perfectly healed septum.
5:06 why are people in such a rush to stretch? You are literally hurting your ear so much than you even know!! I literally just started stretching and like...it's not that hard to WAIT
Where on earth do you get all your energy?! I find your videos super funny but by the end I feel like I need to take a nap on your behalf 😂 Fair play mate keep it up 👍
My dear Roly. I watched your reaction video today and I agree with you when it comes to piercing babies ears but I also have to honestly confess that around June or July 1987 I did in fact, pierce my oldest daughters ears. She was born in March so she was 3-3 1/2 months old. At the time it was something pretty much all baby girls got (I know your thinking "and if everyone jumped off a bridge".....haha). I learned my lesson and by the time my other daughter was born I realized this was a huge mistake and I did not get her pierced. I know it really upsets you to even read about it let alone talk about it but I just wanted to say that when I got my daughters done I did have kind of an odd excuse for doing it. About a week before I was at the mall and of course getting groceries with hardly any sleep the night before so I just didn't have the energy to put velcro bows on her almost bald head and a pink dress on her so when some woman saw my stroller she came over wanting a peek at the baby, she leaned in and said what a handsome little man you have there I just about started to cry right there. I remember mumbling something like thank you and got out of there. I went to the bathroom and in a stall I cried for what felt like an hour. Post partum depression really sucks. For some reason, I still don't know why, I was furious, hurt, and about a dozen other emotions and I was determined no one would call her a boy ever again and that afternoon I booked an appointment and well the rest is history. Now I am a grandmother of 6 grandbabies, 3 girls and 3 boys and none of the girls have any piercings. All 6 kids are under the age of 4. I just wanted to tell you my story. I let my emotions control my actions and my poor girl paid a price but at least it was a small price and she was absolutely fine 5 seconds after (I had ice cream waiting for her lol). Looking forward to your next reaction video. Love to everyone!!! TTYL.
That person in the DIY video looked rightfully terrified. Lulus is in the Westminster mall, near me, and I go to that mall quite often. Had no idea they were even there for years. They seem like peopke that take piercings way too lax. Would never go there
Hey Roly, just found you & I've been bingeing your vids. I love them & already adore you. I'm about to be 61, live in the deep South USA, & got my nostril pierced about 4 weeks ago. My youngest encouraged me; he knew I'd wanted it for a long time. I adore piercings & body mods & we went to a tattoo/piercing shop & we'd done our homework & my baby whose 19 had used the piercer b4. Soooo it's healing & I'm cleaning it as directed. I confess I'm a bit OCD about the cleaning. Lol Anyway, main reason I'm commenting is to tell you, you've a new sub who loves your videos but more importantly to tell you YOU'RE FLAWLESS!!! ❤❤❤
you know that you saved me from getting my nose stapled at a hairdressers? The lady was demonstrating how "sanitary" it is just like in todays video but I had none of her bs thanks to you xD
Could you imagine going into the doctor for a procedure then his nurse comes in and touches the scalpel but says don't worry I'm not putting my fingers in the wound..... pretty similar to the woman touching the needle with her bare hands if you ask me
To those now worried about going to a professional: I have 17 piercings and have 4 piercers I go to regularly (one from a shop closer to me and the other three all from the same shop, just depends on whose working when I go in). I've never had a problem with any of them or my piercings :)

“It’s not a gun it’s just an instrument that acts exactly like a piercing gun because it is one :)”
It's not a gun. It's a stapler that fits inside a gun 🙄

For a "professional" piercer to blame the client for their screw up is ridiculous! Also no gloves?!?!?!

Absolutely unprofessional

The piercer is to blame and doesn't want to admit it.
I love that Professional or not, Roly’s NOT holding back 🙅🏼♀️
And THAT’S THE DARJEELING
Hahahaha I was on one today 😂
Of course. He is the gordon ramsey of piercings after all.. instead of yelling it’s raw he yells THAT’S A GUN!
@@RolyWestYT 🍵🇦🇺
But Darjeeling is a place name
“She just jumped a little bit” don’t they know she’s recording? And it proves she didn’t move? Why even make it up when it’s so easy to prove it isn’t true?
Right? It’s because the other piercer didn’t see do she tried to get away with it
It's unprofessional to blame the client for something that isn't their fault. She was also not wearing gloves which is unsanitary.
“Shes got a tiny nose” gave me flashbacks to 10 year old me when the Clairs piercer said to my mother “she has fat ear lobes.” And then pierced them super high. 😭
What the hell?
I’m so so sorry but I’m crying over “fat ear lobes” like what does that even mean 💀
That’s what I hate about claires piercers, they told me when I was eight that my ears were lopsided and one is higher than the other blah blah
Noo this happened to me😭 they could only pierce one because my earlobes were too fat ahahah, like excuse me I am a child, don’t make fun of ma fat ear lobess😩
Maybe that's why they shouldn't be piercing with those stupid guns. Fat earlobes lol please.
This is so scary. When you go to a professional you expect them to know what they’re doing. I guess that’s why it’s so important to check ratings
Yes yes yes always so research
Piercing professionals are just like hairstylists or maybe even doctors. You always go to someone expecting what you want to be fulfilled, however that's not always the case. Anytime you get a service you take a risk.
Yes an the vibe you get goin into the studio an the vibe you get from the piercer is so important too!!
Not only that, but people do make mistakes and it's also about how they own up to it and how they take the feedback- that they'll educate themselves to do better or not do it at all. Plenty of people don't take criticism and feedback well but in this industry, they need to take that stuff seriously because they are potentially hurting people, not just their reputation.
I remember when I went to a tattoo apprentice. The studio had offered free tattoos to be done by this apprentice artist. You had to submit idea and placement proposals and the studio would pick the ones they liked and you'd get it free, in return for the artist being allowed to publish photos. I applied, and I was shocked that when I was contacted to be told I was selected, they said I was the ONLY person who had asked to see a portfolio of work this lady had done thus far, and the ONLY person who had asked about her certifications eg blood-borne pathogens. Turned out great; one of my favourite tattoos.

Same thing happened to me! It didn't line up the first time, they told me, then asked if I wanted to do it again. I appreciated their honesty!
I got my septum pierced wonky the first time too, it was so low down I couldn’t chew food without it touching my upper lip. The piercer made the excuse that “you can change it to a smaller ring and it will look better.” Like he didn’t completely mess up and pierce too low. I went to another shop a few days later and they said it was so low that it was just going to grow out.

I had 3 more piercings done by this pro until I moved. He set a standard of care I look for with other pros. 😌
Get yourself a real professional. Somebody who knows their stuff explains your anatomy to you and the procedure BEFORE doing it. A professional has seen enough body parts to make educated guesses on how your body will take the piercing and heal.

I was walking past a Claire's a couple weeks back, when they first opened back up, and I saw a baby being restrained by the parents whilst they had their ears pierced, the screaming that was coming from that child broke my heart and really pissed me off. I just don't see why a baby needs they ears pierced in these parents minds
@Rachel Sheldon It totally is. You don't tattoo a baby either!
In Australia its pretty common for hair salons to offer gun piercings (why!?!) and I used to work next door to one... The number of screaming kids and babies I heard made me sick to my stomach! :( so awful
They don’t even remember it lol it’s not that deep
My mom used to want me to get them done so I would look like a girl. Kinda stupid that it matters on a baby.
i 100% agree, but some ethnicities pierce their child’s ear at a very young age, i’m hispanic and it was really weird for my family that i didn’t get my ears pierced until i was 9 because most of the girls in my family got them when they were like 6 months old 😂
I think he looks more normal with his contacts in than he does without them also I've never seen anyone pull of those crazy cool contacts like roly can....so beautiful love you!
Thank you Shayla x
I don't think I would recognize him without the piercings and contacts. I think he could pull off a Mohawk look thats dyed. Lol
That plastic clamp freaks me out- it can't be autoclaved, so either they're reusing a dirty clamp or they're using single use clamps and wasting tons of plastic. Sick...
Yeah it really dose not look good for them
I’m in a fully disposable studio so I use plastic clamps that are presteralized. Waste isn’t a issue because you use more plastic PPE (shoe covers, gloves, face shield, mask, arm covers, clean room suit or smock) than the clamps. Plus medical recycling is a thing too!
@@dahliamuerte2428 but does your shop actually do medical recycling? And follow up with the company that it is actually recycled and not thrown away? 👀
@@syd1735 yes! It took me a while to find a company considering we have a large medical and surgical center. I just have to separate plastic from metal. I obviously don’t recycle needles but tapers get tossed in the metals if the client doesn’t want to take it home
The piercer using the knife nail clippers then pliers literally scared me
for fucking real. Like, how many times have those pliers been sanitized??
YES!
I was screaming!
@@lovely_nina8768 my eyes went wide and jaw dropped especially as i think the knife was serrated one wrong move and the tongue was being sliced open with the potential of bleeding out in seconds
Absolutely no idea what the hell they were doing
Did they just use a knife, toenail clippers, and pliers for one piercing?!
.....yes.... 💀💀💀
The poor person with the piercing looked terrified
Looked more like a gang-type torture session.
I thought it was like, an accident and they were trying to remove something (my first thought was a fishing hook or something).... But no. I don’t know wth was going on there.
I thought this comment was a funny exaggeration of what happened until the video came up 😳
I agree with you on Lulu's. I watched them for a while. I remember then saying in one of their videos that you shouldn't get pierced in any mall shop. They are a mall shop.
‘She’s got such a tiny nose’- my nose is much smaller and mine was pierced just fine not once, but twice. That person was making all kinds of excuses 🙄
My nose is pretty small too and my piercer used a receiving tube when I got my nose pierced. I feel like they help a lot and help guide it through better and keep from hitting or damaging anything else. He even used a receiving tube when I got my septum pierced as well.
Such a dumb excuse. All decent piercers do an anatomy check BEFORE piercing anyway so they would factor in the size of the client's nose already.
@@FlickeringEmber yep, my piercer stuck his fingers up my nose to feel where my sweet spot was when I went to get my septum done. 😂😂 It was awkward and funny but it turned out perfect and healed perfect, no problems.
That piercer in the first video screwed up and didn't want to admit it.
If my baby is overdue, I'm going to re-watch these videos because the shock and disgust will trigger me into labour! #ChooChoo!
Oh my days girl-
OH MY GOD 😂😂😂
@@RolyWestYT What zodiac would that baby be born under? Trigger Train or GOUT! ?
@@blushface I love this comment 😂
@@lazarocito 🤭😅
I got a Christina piercing a couple of weeks ago at my friends shop. He's a tattoo artist and I trust him and his employees. Well while she was getting everything prepared she was telling me about all her credentials, how she's been piercing for 16 years, is certified in 6 countries, etc. After the piercing was done I saw it was pretty crooked. I mentioned it to her and she said it was perfect.. basically made me feel crazy. So I sent a pic to the shop owner and a few friends and everyone agreed it wasn't straight. I decided to let it heal for 2 weeks at her recommendation and have it redone. I understand that ppl make mistakes but if u do just own up to it. I paid $100 and if I didn't know the owner I doubt she would have even redone it.
Yeah it’s so frustrating when they act like you’re the problem and not what they did!!
@@RolyWestYT exactly my friend was there and she is terrified of anything piercing or tattoo related. She's the goody-two-shoes type which is great we are total opposites but make great friends because we both breed ball pythons. Anyways she thought I was going to jump off the table but I laid there is still as could be. My friend was pretty impressed by that. I've had plenty of piercings so I know what to expect but after hearing all of her credentials and all of that and the fact that she tried to convince me that it wasn't crooked when it was obviously very crooked really got under my skin and I got more and more irritated about it. I hated contacting the owner I don't want to get her in trouble but if I hadn't have done that I guarantee I would never have gotten that piercing redone. She had me come in the next day and then she finally admitted it was crooked. I don't have a ton of money to be spending $100 on a genital piercing. Not to mention I'm not sure about this maybe you can enlighten me but from every picture I've seen the jewel goes on top and then the ball or flat round metal piece goes on the bottom. She says that the jewel goes on the bottom and that's where the L shape in the bar is I have never seen it that way in any pictures so I think she's doing it upside down. Either way it was just so annoying. It was a pretty painful piercing but I've had natural childbirth so nothing compares LOL. I just hope the second time around goes better. Wish me luck!
@@eisleywatson344 what does you having given birth have to do with your piercing horror story? No one cares, stay on the topic of piercings
@@mydumbyoutubechannel6579 she was comparing the pain
As someone who has been a professional piercer for 13 years: thanks you SO much Roly for saying what I am thinking!!! I only speak my full thoughts in private piercing groups, but I am definitely on the trigger train !!! Lol
The superdrug one...they said the cartridge packet was sterile but it literally said 'non sterile' on the back ffs
@10:36
Clueless
Oh my god hahahaha
I feel like we’re twins today bc I got the same eye color at the moment with all the pollen 😂😭🤧
Oh no 😂😂
Hahaha relatable content
omg mood and im cat sitting w a cat allergy sksk
"she just jumped" is what a nurse said to me while giving me an IV and then had to redo it..... I'm pretty sure everyone moves a little. for reference I get infusions every 8 weeks and I have a regular nurse who successfully does it every time even if I move a little
@illicitlitmisfit i have crohn’s so it helps control the inflammation
finally, Roly recognizes my gender identity as a hot tea
😂😂😂
lol "it's all sealed and sterile in the package". it literally said ON THE PACKAGE "NON STERILE"!!!
This is why I love my piercer. He has 4 pairs of gloves for every session. 1 to mark my piercing, 2 for sterilising the instruments (1 putting the instruments into the machine and another 1 to take them out) and another 1 for the piercing process itself. Very hygienic and I couldn’t ask for a better piercer.
this is so validating watching your reaction to these. I got my septum pierced a month ago today, and it was SUPER painful, the piercer pierced it in the wrong spot, blamed me for it, and then repierced again. I tried my best not to panic and freak out, but even when I was a little nervous, he showed no empathy at all for what had happened. I accidentally screamed from the pain when he was making his "normal adjustments" and all he said was "I'm literal;y just screwing the ball in. I'm not even doing anything. you're gonna have to stop" I kept saying "I know" and trying not to panic but he didn't care. He was very cold and indifferent. needless to say, I didn't tip him.
The exact same thing happened to me and they said it was cause my septum was deviated and they didn’t realize which seems logical to me but omfg. Once was enough but my heart dropped when they said they had to do it again.
That piercer is so rude and unprofessional. Not tipping them was perfectly fine.
The Darjeeling is Roly is amazing! 😁❤️
YAASSS SIPPY WIPPY
None of them I would consider ‘professional’ piercers.
Yep!
When I got my first nose stud in, she MUST have pierced through a vein or something and I didn't even realize it because I was so new to getting them 😭 I was shocked when I got my second one and it barely bled and went sooo much easier
Oh no!!!
Really depends on your nose! I had bleeding the1st time and then when I got it repierced in the same spot, it didn’t bleed much
He read LuLu’s for filth in the most polite and respectful way possible
Being a professional doesn't always mean something can't go wrong. Doctors, nurses, hairstylists, anyone with a business, can mess up. Even someone u fullytrust can have a badday. Don't let it scare u away. Yoy have a less likely chance of a professional messing up than Joe shmoe down the road.
Exactly ❤️
Absolutely! Even though there's risks of, for example, a surgeon making a mistake in surgery, I'll still put my trust in them before someone without the training or experience!!
using piercing guns is literally shoving an earring through your ear and into the earring back, so skin and stuff from the inside of your ear will end up going into the earring back, which is then gonna have even more dead skin and crust building up on it over time. it’s pretty much impossible to keep it clean, it’s really gross and i can’t believe i didn’t realize that when i was younger
Couldn't be as bad as the lady at Claire's who pierced my ears at a weird angle with a gun when I was 6.
Oh dear 😅
I had my firsts done when I was a child and then I decided to get two more on my right ear when I was 15, I'm just lucky they healed up fine and look decent.
@@RolyWestYT Claire's twat waffle pierced one ear lobe too low. Lower than the other. Never again.
Same! Except mine was piercing pagoda. I can barely get earrings and because of it. Not to mention they used a marker. Lol
So the front of my ear holes are in the right place on both ears. But instead of it being pierced vertically all the way like normal, it was pierced diagonally. So I have to tilt the earring upwards just to find the hole in the back of my ear.
Roly you’re the best. I love your videos so much. It doesn’t matter how hard my day is, you always make me smile. You are loved and appreciated
Thanks Heather! Always lovely to see you in the comments xx
Always when I see them pushing one size after another in the ear, I can feel the pain of an ear that isn't ready to be stretched again... x_x
Me too. Like stretching already isn't very comfortable when you do it correctly, can't imagine the pain of doing it like this!!!!!
"Hello darjeelings" needs to become a thing 😅
I think it might have to be
Very much so
That second lady was just trying to make herself feel better by blaming it on the client 😂
I'm still not over the time I was in Spencer's and heard the cashier explaining how to properly clean earrings to a customer bc rubbing alcohol will wear away the colour on the metal (or something) whilst simultaneously another person asked the door greeter where they could get their ears pierced to which the employee replied "oh, Claire's around the corner does piercings! :)"
Oh for gods sake
Hey Roly x
I'm living for those contacts. Omg...... u r exposed as a demon I knew it x😂
Loved the video x
Thanks they just arrived today so had to use them immediately
@@RolyWestYT they r now my fav contacts x
You never let me down, when I'm feeling down. You're amazing!
Love you!
IM SO HAPPY YOU CALLED OUT LULU'S. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG
ok, second video, gloveless, victim blaming piercer had me in fists of rage.
actually this entire video is pissing me off! lol
your energy makes me so happy
"Hello Garden, pierce my nose!"
-Roly
Watching this whilst eating ice cream and sitting out on my front step has been so perfect 🖤
The second one where they blamed the girl... Like... She was FROZEN... I don't think you could've gotten a better client she was so still!!!
honestly your videos and your personality make my day
I've got my ticket and I'm ready to ride the trigger train!!😁
CHOO CHOO
Roly, you really are one of my fav TH-camrs! With my finals and applying for university I really had a hard time these months but your videos always kept me going and made me laugh.
Thank you for always making me smile, even when times are hard!
You are truly flawless!
Darjeeling’s should be the name of your subscribers!
Haha it might have to be now
RE: The gloves. I've seen retail workers wear the same pair all day and they're ridiculously grotty. I've also seen people eating whilst wearing them. Specifically eating things which require your hands eg crisps and sandwiches.
Omg yes!!! I work in fast food and the amount of cross contamination is...astounding. I have to change my gloves every 30 minutes to an hour bc my hands sweat a lot in them. But some of the things my coworkers do 👀💧 it's v gross.
Roly: Hello Darjeelings! What is the darjeeling?
Translation: Hello tea! What is the tea?
Idk why I giggled so much at this-
I used to want to go to lulus to get my piercings but I looked at it closely and I was like yea nooo
I have a 1 year old daughter and there is no way in hell I would pierce her ears. It's her body, her choice when she gets old enough to make her own decisions. I was forced to get my ears pierced at 4 and now I'm terrified of needles to this day. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I would never want my daughter to go through that.
I haven’t been watching for long but I can tell I’m gonna be here a while, your personality and the way you talk just makes watching these videos so much better
I just cannot get over Roly's eyes omg 😍
I love them!!
The king is back with another video!!!!!!
Roly we really need to talk about eye drops
I can as a piercer finally shut up and relax now, I'll let you go raging and listen. ❤️ Love it!
Blow-outs can happen very easily from impatience. It took me three times to finally learn my lesson. The larger the size, the larger the blow-out, the first two times happened my first year of slow stretching. My last one happened many years later at 1-inch and my right lobe took over a year to not look deformed, but it has extra skin/scar tissue I hide with my plugs.
I love how I can tell which videos I haven't seen yet by the color of your contacts
Ever since Bailey Sarian said that she'd been told her eyebrows looked like the wings of the Hollister gull, I can't look at the logo and not think of her... 😎✌🏽🖤
I know that this is a older video, but the video of the little girl reminded me of something that happened to me. One of my first memories is my mom repiercing my ears when I was two or three... at home...with a sewing needle... while holding me still on her lap. I whole-heartedly agree that until little kids can sit still, and say for themselves that they want them. They shouldn't have them. Thankfully it didn't stop me from getting more as I got older. Because I love all of the ones I have, and I can't wait to get more.
Hey Roly , just thinking when you were going to upload and you did ! That was so weird , but anyway thanks , love these videos 😀
YAASS I AM HERE hehehe
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROLY XX
Hi! Can you please make an entire video dedicated to why infant's ears shouldn't be pierced (including all of the things you've said in your other videos)? I've been trying my hardest to convince my mother not to pierce my two siblings' ears so early (ages 3 and 4). She just will not listen, and she brings up how many piercings I have. I am an adult who fully consented to--and paid for-- all of my own piercings and can look after my own piercings, unlike how she will take care of my siblings piercings if they were to get some.
I think if she could see an entire video on why it's not something good to do, she might change her mind.
Thank you!!!
You should show her that segment of the poor little baby who got the 2 guns
@@sadie_cat I've shown her a couple videos showing the pain that infants go through, but that doesn't seem to phase her much. She says things like, "beauty is pain." Ridiculous in my opinion.
I mean I got my ears done when I was 3 or 4, but I did ask my mum for them
@@marianneheyvaerts5526 It's mostly that she will not help them care for their piercings. She had mine pierced around the age of 5, and they got severely infected. She didn't bother helping me care for them, and I was too young to understand how to do it myself. The younger one also has some sensory issues, and I know it won't end very well.
Look up babies ears that are ripped from them pulling the earrings
dont think ive ever clicked on a video as quickly love your vidoes always making me giggle
i’m getting a piercing next week it’s so smart of me to watch this
It will be amazing! Happy healing c
@@RolyWestYT thnx!
Just what I needed!! My depression is horrible!
This video reminded me of when my cousin got her septum pierced by a “professional” at I store I would go to but wouldn’t be pierced by one “professional piercer” after they did one of my piercing. Anyways my cousin went to get her septum done and asked her can I pierce your Cartlidge! She didn’t know what he meant and said yes, after a few months her piercing wouldn’t heal, and she got pressure bump on her piercing. She ended up removing it, a year later she got it re-pierced by another piercer in the sweet spot and said it didn’t hurt as much as the first one did, now she has a perfectly healed septum.
5:06 why are people in such a rush to stretch? You are literally hurting your ear so much than you even know!! I literally just started stretching and like...it's not that hard to WAIT
Where on earth do you get all your energy?! I find your videos super funny but by the end I feel like I need to take a nap on your behalf 😂 Fair play mate keep it up 👍
When I was a toddler, my grandma brought me to get my ears pierced at a mall. Was literally at the register getting them done.
This is the earliest I have been in a while 🖤
the scariest thing in this video is roly almost playing copyright music, lol
After my bad mental health day today this made me smile for a minute
My dear Roly. I watched your reaction video today and I agree with you when it comes to piercing babies ears but I also have to honestly confess that around June or July 1987 I did in fact, pierce my oldest daughters ears. She was born in March so she was 3-3 1/2 months old. At the time it was something pretty much all baby girls got (I know your thinking "and if everyone jumped off a bridge".....haha). I learned my lesson and by the time my other daughter was born I realized this was a huge mistake and I did not get her pierced. I know it really upsets you to even read about it let alone talk about it but I just wanted to say that when I got my daughters done I did have kind of an odd excuse for doing it. About a week before I was at the mall and of course getting groceries with hardly any sleep the night before so I just didn't have the energy to put velcro bows on her almost bald head and a pink dress on her so when some woman saw my stroller she came over wanting a peek at the baby, she leaned in and said what a handsome little man you have there I just about started to cry right there. I remember mumbling something like thank you and got out of there. I went to the bathroom and in a stall I cried for what felt like an hour. Post partum depression really sucks. For some reason, I still don't know why, I was furious, hurt, and about a dozen other emotions and I was determined no one would call her a boy ever again and that afternoon I booked an appointment and well the rest is history. Now I am a grandmother of 6 grandbabies, 3 girls and 3 boys and none of the girls have any piercings. All 6 kids are under the age of 4.
I just wanted to tell you my story. I let my emotions control my actions and my poor girl paid a price but at least it was a small price and she was absolutely fine 5 seconds after (I had ice cream waiting for her lol). Looking forward to your next reaction video. Love to everyone!!! TTYL.
Honestly love this guys videos always makes my day 1000% better
It's never a good idea to blame the client....🤦🏼♀️
Those contacts make it look like you have those gummy Halloween eyes for actual eyes and I love it
Happy almost pride month roly!!!
Edit: HAPPY PRIDE MONTH
That person in the DIY video looked rightfully terrified.
Lulus is in the Westminster mall, near me, and I go to that mall quite often. Had no idea they were even there for years. They seem like peopke that take piercings way too lax. Would never go there
Lulus is so stupidly unprofessional. And they won’t ever admit it
Hey Roly, just found you & I've been bingeing your vids. I love them & already adore you. I'm about to be 61, live in the deep South USA, & got my nostril pierced about 4 weeks ago. My youngest encouraged me; he knew I'd wanted it for a long time. I adore piercings & body mods & we went to a tattoo/piercing shop & we'd done our homework & my baby whose 19 had used the piercer b4. Soooo it's healing & I'm cleaning it as directed. I confess I'm a bit OCD about the cleaning. Lol
Anyway, main reason I'm commenting is to tell you, you've a new sub who loves your videos but more importantly to tell you YOU'RE FLAWLESS!!! ❤❤❤
Lulu's telling people to use tea tree oil made me run to the hills...
I dropped them after I saw them piercing someone 11 times in one sitting. Insane
@ whaaaaaaat????
These videos always trigger me to infinity and beyond, yet I still watch em lol. Love you Roly!!!
you know that you saved me from getting my nose stapled at a hairdressers? The lady was demonstrating how "sanitary" it is just like in todays video but I had none of her bs thanks to you xD
Omg! Thank god you didn’t listen to her bs then. Hairdressers are not piercers and they should not be poking holes in your body 💀💀🗿
You are luckier than I was, I had my nose done with a gun years ago at the time I thought it was fine but there was no Roly to save us then! 😀
All your words getting mixed up at the beginning 😂😂😂💙 I shouted "we're losing him, y'all!" Hahaha you're the best.
Could you imagine going into the doctor for a procedure then his nurse comes in and touches the scalpel but says don't worry I'm not putting my fingers in the wound..... pretty similar to the woman touching the needle with her bare hands if you ask me
Looking fantastic today Roly. Your Hollister shirts are giving me lifffeeee. Would love to see your collection 😍
Ah yes, Roly made a new video, that means its
☆~ Gender Envy Time ~☆
😅🙃🙃😉
Ur videos are always great, so glad u add humor to these things
To those now worried about going to a professional:
I have 17 piercings and have 4 piercers I go to regularly (one from a shop closer to me and the other three all from the same shop, just depends on whose working when I go in). I've never had a problem with any of them or my piercings :)
Also, trust reviews! If it's super cheap or has bad reviews, even a few, dont go.
Your contacts are everything!!
