I hate it when people use incorrect terminology in reference to tattoos and body piercings.

It is not said "labray". It is said just as it is spelled, labret (with a hard t). This wasn't invented in France, quit saying it like it was.

Do not EVER say "snakebites". They are not snakebites, they are labret piercings, goddammit. I'll have you know, if you walk into a tattoo shop and say snakebites, we have a hard time resisting the urge to laugh you straight out of there. On the same subject, don't say that you want your chin pierced. Isn't it apparent that it is a part of your mouth??

It is called a Monroe. There is no difference in the name of the piercing, regardless of which side you put it on. Getting one side is NOT called a Madonna. It's just a Monroe. Deal with it.

That little flap on your ear that you push in to plug it? That's called a tragus. Maybe you should do a little research on the different parts of your ear before you call trying to describe something and end up sounding ridiculous.

People, QUIT SAYING TAT!! Is it really hard to get that one extra syllable out so you can complete the word? Don't be lazy! Say the whole word!! I hate phrases like 'tatted up' or 'tatted down' as well. It makes you sound uneducated.

Do NOT call a tattoo machine a 'gun'. It is not a gun--it doesn't shoot anything. So help me god, if you say it shoots ink... It is a machine. Say it with me now, machiiiiiine. Good.

Also, do not act like you know what type of needle I'm using and don't say it loud and proud to your stupid ass friends because you have no idea. Don't sit there and tell your buddy that I'm using a single needle for the outline and a 3 needle for shading and filling in. Derrr... I won't hesitate to bust you the fuck out in front of God and everybody for it.

And lastly, to the people who think tattoos are trashy and nasty and for bad people only--

I don't hate you because you don't have them, so why do you hate me because I do? Dec 30 3:57 PM MST
