Hey guys so I am currently looking into body piercing as a career. My greatest skill at every job has been my ability to be very well liked and building regulars this makes me feel like having a job that is very public facing would be great for me and I have piercings love counter culture, body mod, taboo stuff whatnot… but I do need to know could I get to a point (even 5 years from starting or whatever) where I could be making 70k minimum yearly? I know it varies, I’m in Boston. I just feel like I need to if this could be a career or if it can only be a side gig which might work for me

Thanks guys!!

Hey guys I am interested in becoming a body piercer I know this is gunna take some time but if anybody has any leads in the Boston area I’d be really appreciative I can obviously share my social media accounts to prove I’m real. Thanks!!

Hey guys,

So I have been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and I certainly has the symptoms.. I’ll say, I don’t know if it’s because I don’t have the best insurance… but the past 3 psych doctors just seemed to diagnose and prescribe me without much inquiry besides me describing my bad executive dysfunction, horrible anxiety, fatigue, brain fog etc… my mother is soooo bi-polar… but I’m just second guessing my diagnosis because I want to make sure I’m treating the right thing because I’m essentially disabled..

I’ll say I have been mostly “manic” instead of depressed… I think my depressive episodes manifest as fatigue, brain fog, not being able to get off the couch or do anything….

But is this just ADHD if I don’t sit there and have dark thoughts, suicidal ideation? I do spiral anxiously like everyday lol. I know it’s nuanced but do you guys have any insight??

Love you guys we’re in this together <3

I am nowhere near lazy I’m 35 I’ve been working since I was 16 but work is literally the deepest most constant source of anguish for me. I can’t last at a job more than 2 years max! I kept one for like 6 years once… but I am chronically afraid of getting fired-I was fired once when I was an alcoholic but I am so afraid of it I overwork, I’m overly charismatic in hopes ppl will like me regardless of my inconsistency, lack of focus, info retention lol etc… I work in food/beverage/hospitality. But rn I am an Orderwriter and I had a bipolar flare up this week and was paralyzed by anxiety over the position… I want to pursue piercing or something that I build a clientele and have flexibility…. I like can’t have a boss or co workers I spiral too much…

How do you guys handle?? What do you do for work?? Is this common for bi-polar?! Idk if it’s a medication I need or if I need to continue this fucking rejection therapy lol I HAVE improved by putting in conscious effort but like what the heeeeeelllllll!

I mean really? Before this recent decade I would have maybe thought this was a heavy handed way of thinking but for real we are past that point, guys lol like how how how can you be a republican still and think you’re aligned with justice and freedom?! Hahaha your world is about to be rocked I am just praying that you all find god and can be saved in the end. I’m so sorry you’ve been so manipulated and indoctrinated.

Hey guys I am looking for an apprenticeship in body piercing. Does anyone know anyone taking apprentices or any shop I should check out and say hi? Any advice or referrals would be greatly appreciated!
