Product Information

No one is more qualified to write this book than Elayne Angel. With more than three decades of personal experience to her credit, no one knows the subject better."

How to become a piercer, piercingthroughout history andin modern culture, and the future of body piercing Many of our young people are getting body piercings and tattoos out of a spirit of rebellion against their parents advice. Many men are also wearing earrings to make a statement of their rebellion by showing that they are “macho” or homosexual. Because the youth of our day are despising and rebelling against their parents this is very displeasing to the Lord as one of the Ten Commandments in the Bible is to honor our parents ( Exodus 20:12: “Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee” and Colossians 3:20: “Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.”) Piercing pioneer Elayne Angel has performed over 40,000 piercings since the 1980s and has brought many practices, such as tongue-piercing, into the mainstream. She brings her exhaustive knowledge to this groundbreaking manual that covers everything you need to know about the process, I've done all that I can to stay safe and healthy up to this point, and it just doesn't make sense to travel internationally (I live in Mexico), and risk a breakthrough infection.I'm pretty confident that my two Pfizer doses should protect me against severe disease and death, but vaccine effectiveness is lower against the Delta variant, plus immunity has been shown to wane over time. Additionally, I'm in the over-60 age group, which statistically has had more severe outcomes. Further, some research shows that long COVID is still possible in vaccinated individuals.

Piercing expert Elayne Angel has performed over 50,000 piercings since the 1980s and has pioneered many placements, including tongue piercing and the triangle, lorum, and other genital piercings. Her authoritative and groundbreaking guidebook has been the definitive resource on body piercing since its publication in 2009. I contributed to the state of Louisiana by assisting in the promulgation of the laws on body art, and also by assisting in training the health inspectors who enforce the regulations I helped to draft. In 1 Kings 18, we find the story of Elijah contesting the evil prophets of Baal (a false god of that day whose followers practiced witchcraft). The prophets of Baal worked themselves into a frenzy trying to get their god, Baal to show himself mightier than the true and living God. However, the God of Elijah proved to be the true God. During the frenzy of the Baal worshipers they began to disfigure their bodies as we see from this scripture in 1 Kings 18:28: “And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.” Am I stressing appearance over substance? The Bible clearly emphasizes the inner spiritual qualities of a person and downplays the “outward adornment” (1 Peter 3:3–4). The majority of our effort should be directed at increasing in godliness, not grooming a particular look. As a piercer, nurse, and educator, I can say without a doubt that this is the most complete book ever written for all people in our industry.”—David A. Vidra, founder and president of Health Educators, Inc.Everything you need to know about ear, face, and body piercings—from how to find a skilled professional piercer to best practices for safe healing and optimal results. I have not resigned myself to becoming infected, and I am continuing to avoid risks as much as possible. Additionally, along with a great team of other volunteers, I headed-up the rewrite and revision of the APP Procedure Manual, 2013 Edition, which is still used throughout the industry as the definitive guide for safe, sanitary piercing practices. If you want to book an appointment but you are concerned you (or I) will have to cancel, I can work with that!

I'm still doing online anatomy consultations. They're required for appointments and if you're home with extra time on your hands, it is a perfect time to sign up!There has been some confusion about the name of this piercing following a popular social media post in which people thought it was called a "double dyed piercing," a "double Diego piercing," or even a "double diet coke piercing." The correct name is dydoe, coined by piercing pioneer Doug Malloy as a play on the word "doodad."

I've got a lot of respect and admiration for those who regularly wear them under any circumstances (medical and otherwise). There's the physical aspect, but also, it is really hard to perform an intimate act like piercing genitals and nipples when I cannot see the faces of my clients, or share mine. The barrier and distance it creates is most unwelcome. NOTE: If we are going to get out of this mess, more people need to get vaccinated! If you haven't already, do it now! Encourage others to do so. If you're concerned about vaccine safety, seek information from RELIABLE SOURCES, not social media or your friends. Note that 96% of US doctors are vaccinated. Do you think they might know something about healthcare? The unvaccinated are 29 times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID, and nearly all current COVID-related deaths are among the unvaccinated population.

Will this body piercing be an obstacle to ministry? It’s conceivable that, in some situations, having a body piercing will aid a believer in his witness to others. And, if the piercing is decorated with Christian-themed jewelry, it could be a conversation-starter that leads to spiritual themes. But, for others, certain types of body piercings may hinder attempts to share the gospel. We are Christ’s ambassadors, delivering God’s message to the world (2 Corinthians 5:20). We must consider what message the body piercing sends and whether it will aid or detract from representing Christ and sharing the gospel. This was a period of tremendous growth and development in the piercing world, and a time of many "firsts" as we experimented with the possibilities of piercing the body. It was just before piercing started to become an industry, rather than just a single, highly unusual specialty shop! Some things worked better than others, and we pursued what was successful. During this era, nipples and genitals were the mainstays of our piercing work. Facial and ear piercings were far less popular than the more functional options. Navel piercings were virtually unheard of! And it is to my roots that I have returned. As far as I know, I'm the only professional piercer specializing exclusively in nipple and genital piercings for adults of all genders. I used to tour regularly around the U.S., guest piercing at the studios of my colleagues, since I no longer have my own premises. However, since the Covid pandemic I have curtailed my travels. At this point my plan for the foreseeable future is to pierce twice annually in Detroit. I saw that two planes containing a total of 600 people were tested upon arrival at their destination, and 61 passengers were covid positive! That's more than 10% of the other people sitting with you on the plane who are infected--and infectious! This does not inspire me to want to travel.... The dydoe piercing frames the rim of the corona. They can be done in a single central placement, or in pairs off to the sides (the afore-mentioned "double"), and multiples. Unfortunately, many penises are not configured with a defined and full enough flare to the glans to comfortably and safely accommodate jewelry in this location. However, there is one verse that may not cast piercing in a favorable light. Does Leviticus Condemn Piercings?
