Where I live, even Wal Mart piercings are done with single use sterile needles. The person performing the piercing uses new gloves, the area pierced is cleaned with alcohol, etc, etc.
Tattoo parlors are required by law to use single use needles, disposable ink cups, single use gloves, etc.

Same here scary to the max absolutely deaf in one ear for 5 days, I was really scared.
For those who haven't experienced Aural Inferno, the wrong side of hell : http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/everything-else/91686-double-ear-infection.html#post1078674
I worked ER, plus operating rooms with anything from open heart surgery to hip transplants, have ample experience with intramuscular/subcutane/intracutane/intravenous injection of anesthetics and radiopaque agents, plenty practical exercise with stitching plus handling scalpels, once assisted on an amputation.
When I had my nipples pierced, I was really impressed with the professional level, pre/during/post piercing, and that was a long time ago.
On a beach I rub my tats with spf50, keeps the colors from fading.
I'll bet Max a dollar he'll sooner catch a skin cell shaker than my kinky spots.
The right hand most of those is an amazing work of precision lines and shading- but try explaining to the grandkids
Back in my early '20s, I attended a lot of black music venues, often required all-ink companionship to visit some of those places safely.
If I strand in the middle of outback at night, surrounded by half a dozen crack-shipping bad amigos (mala amigoenan in the local speak), a bag of silly jokes and showing tat would be the emergency rescue plan of a piece of white dumb azz :

Single remaining alternative in such a situation would be to kill a bunch of blokes, a lose-lose solution.
So far, best life insurance investment ever. It was done at Byron Tattoo, Byron Jacobus is the No1 tattoo artist on Curaçao. 9 of 10 locals comment on it, all very enthousiastic.

To attractive women, I say I start to lick my tat the moment I lay my eyes on them.
(without a registered partnership with my g/f, my remains would already have been for years under a Curaçao stone that read : this island did him, and did him, and did him in)

Old guys with nipple piercings. Best examples to keep your children from nipple piercings 🙂
Yep, my son Rafaèl is the king of dweeb.
Members of my family have a history of dying an unnatural death, my kid may live to be 150.

I cannot fathom why anyone would want this form of bodily mutilation. middle-ages and older men with earrings are also a mystery, and i avoid them like the plague.
A friend of mine is a punk, that is he was a punk in 1977 at the age of 15, and in many ways he hasn't changed. He says himself that it still defines his way of thinking, which is fair enough, regards liberty and being allowed to be yourself. He hasn't got crazy hair anymore cuz he has no hair but he still wears his nose ring and ear studs which I don't notice but I'm sure other people do.
Good response.....the world would be rather boring if we were all the same, and I would have been banned a long time ago.
I can't see piercings or tattoos for myself, but I don't judge others or really care either way for body art. Some of it is unique, and worth looking at, some is flat ugly. Most of what I see on people my age....well, it's not pretty.
People think I am crazy for many of the things I do, even dumb little things like wearing flip flops instead of shoes. Playing with "deadly" levels of electricity, tube amps, vinyl records, racing automobiles (not so much any more....too expensive) and Obstacle Course Racing (Tough Mudder, Spartan...) seem to draw the most criticism. So, who am I to judge what others do.
Before you make any further silly assumptions and be wrong, again; I am not worried, scared, and am far from frightened by individualism. It does not require body mutilation or doses of skin ink (which collects in the lymph nodes) to express oneself as an individual. I'm sure you think you are an "individual" with your tatts and piercings; all I see is someone without the ability to make sensible decisions.
It reminds of all those "individuals", (who all look the same, whether they are hipsters, hippies, "individuals" with goatees, have tatts, punks or whatever) to whom Brian said, " You're all individuals".
'I cannot fathom why anyone would want this form of bodily mutilation. middle-ages and older men with earrings are also a mystery, and i avoid them like the plague'
-In general, people are afraid of what they do not understand.
-You do not understand (fathom/mystery), hence you are afraid.
-People avoid like the plague what frightenes them.
It appears as if your nōn-ratiōnālis (<= Latin) escapes you.
I repeat; Before you make any further silly assumptions and be wrong, again; I am not worried, scared, and am far from frightened by individualism. Projecting your own fears on to me only makes one of us look silly.
What I avoid is people who make stupid decisions and/or believe bodily mutilation is somehow attractive, makes them an "individual", or develop an arrogance based on their misconceived ideas (do you wonder to whom I might be referring here?).
Got any mirrors handy? Additionally, using Latin when it is entirely unnecessary reinforces my previous comment.
If you haven't seen The Life of Brian, I suggest you need it.
All I see is legions of young people following each other by mistreating their bodies by having the worst of tattoos and piercings in the worst (= visible) places. Call it fashion, call it a hype but it is a phenomenon that almost pushes kids to have it done. Kids feel placed out of the group when they don't have tattoos. Peer pressure with regards to tattoos, who could have thought of that ? The most intelligent ones have butt ugly tattoos in their necks immediately disqualifying them for a decent job. Quite comical a lady said to me that the XL tattoo on her back was done for herself while not even being able to look at it herself 🙂
I am sure that this hype of "body-art" will pass and that it will give problems on the already difficult job market. Not to mention the silly problem of having to remove these tramp stamps when they feel ashamed. All self inflicted nonsense.
Worse of all is that one is almost forced to like this. I am entitled to my own opinion. If I think it is disgusting then I don't need to be convinced of the "beauty" of these "enhancements".
Every human already is unique, no need for mutilation to enhance the uniqueness.

Alterations of the human body, some might say mutilation (in particular for those cases which went wrong, which is quite frequently actually)
Next to all done by folks without tats/piercings, for lots of money, and quite painfull. (save hair injection, speaking from personal and close observation)
