I’m a pro piercer and there are four piercings we never do – one damages your teeth and another is just too rude
A PROFESSIONAL piercer has revealed the four types of piercings she’s banned in her studio.
The woman, who posts under the handle @jujutattoo_studio, took to TikTok and shared a video which she captioned: “Piercings we refuse to do.”
In the clip, she begins by noting how she steers clear of the snakey (snake eye) piercing, which is when a curved bullbar enters horizontally through the tongue.
It binds both of the muscles in the tongue, meaning they can’t move independently from one another.
Next is the smiley – an oral piercing where jewellery is inserted in the thin flap of skin that connects your lip to your gum.
The piercing whizz goes on to say how she also refuses to do a dermal piercing, which is when the piercing sit flat against the surface of the skin.
And finally, she refuses to pierce ‘men’s private parts.’
The post has since gone viral, racking up over 644,000 views and many comments from intrigued social media users.

“Understandable for the rest but why not the smiley or snakey??” asked one.
Another piercing whizz replied: “Snake eyes bind the muscles of the tongue together and they both cause major teeth/gum damage.”
The TikToker confirmed by posting a thumbs up emoji.
A second warned: “Y’all DO NOT get a smiley my sister had one and it was pushing her gums back.”
A third noted: “I don’t like snakeys because of the risk but I find them SO CUTE.”
Meanwhile, a fourth asked: “Why not male gen piercings but yes to females.”
The piercing guru replied: “It is painful, but we just not doing it.”
